A Washington D.C. Federal court has denied a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) application to squash a lawsuit instituted by the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep) to reveal how Israel’s clandestine nuclear weapons program makes US aid to the Jewish ethnostate unlawful.
The ruling, made August 23 by Judge Tanya Chutkan denied the CIA’s courtroom maneuver to throw out IRmep’s lawsuit seeking the exact dollar value of US intelligence support to Israel.
According to a statement put out by IRmep, “acknowledging the lawsuit as one component of a broader IRmep legal effort to reveal how Israel’s clandestine nuclear weapons program makes US aid unlawful, Chutkan was unpersuaded that ‘unprecedented’ levels of such aid—president Obama’s words—could flow as intelligence support to Israel without the CIA knowing about it.”
The IRmep statement continued: “This lower court victory comes as IRmep’s appeals court battle to block US aid to Israel heats up.
“In September, we’ll provide compelling evidence to a three-judge appeals court panel about why all US foreign aid (both intelligence and military) to Israel—and a gag law blocking American officials from discussing Israel’s nuclear weapons program—violate the Arms Export Control Act and the Freedom of Information Act.”
Court Denies CIA Attempt to Smother Lawsuit on US Intelligence Aid to Israel
The lawsuit was, IRmep said earlier, instituted because “U.S. foreign aid to Israel is illegal, and it has been since the mid-1970s when two senators banned any U.S. tax-dollars flowing to clandestine nuclear states.
“Aid is not only a horrible investment that costs $800 for every dollar ‘invested.’ It perpetuates conflict in the region and diverts dwindling U.S. resources away from better uses here at home.”
The U.S. provides Israel $10.1 million in military aid every day.
According to the Congressional Research Service’s report “U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel,” written by Jeremy M. Sharp, Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs, December 22, 2016, the United States gave Israel $3.1 billion for Fiscal Year 2017 in direct bilateral military aid (also referred to as Foreign Military Financing or FMF).
Congress also authorized $600.7 million for “joint” U.S.-Israel missile defense programs bringing total military aid to Israel to $3.7 billion per year.
This cash handover is illegal in terms of the 1976 International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act, which says that US aid cannot be given to countries which have not signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, commonly known as the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT. Israel has not signed the NPT, although it is well-known—and explicitly acknowledged as such by US government leaders—that Israel is in possession of hundreds of nuclear weapons.
The failure by the CIA to shrug off the lawsuit is a major step forward in the IRmep lawsuit, which was first instituted in August 2016.
I wish I could say I'm surprised by this
Meanwhile You impotent retards post frog memes and cry "muh Jews".
We do alot more than that, don't look down on us.
I'm black and autistic. Can someone please explain this to me in easy to understand words and without touching me?
CIA is trying to hide how much unlawful aid they give to Israel, especially in their nuclear program.
Its pretty straightforward, brother. Take a second and read a sentence at a time. I'm not being a dick, just focus.
You're welcome greatest ally
Like what?
It's weird how many laws the US has concerning foreign governments that Israel gets to flaunt. It's a strange coincidence to be sure.
I started noticing the fringes of the internet constantly screaming "$3 billion a year!!!" a few years ago.
Mostly it was radical leftist pro-Palestine activists, but also right wing Jew haters.
Here's what they never tell you: THIS ASSISTANCE ACCOUNTS FOR 0.5% OF US MILITARY SPENDING.
Placed in context, it's not an outlandish amount of assistance to a major ally.
So then I wondered why the Zionist / GoI PR machine seemed to put no effort into challenging these inflammatory claims by political enemies.
And then I realized: it's only fringe radicals that employ this propaganda in their efforts to radicalize low-information people.
And the radical left and radical right are politically unimportant.
And deservedly so.
The world is run by grown-ups. They're selfish, but somewhat responsible.
And a world run by radical right wing cranks or radical left wing zealots would be horrific.
Fake forum script baiting is too meta for me.
THE FLUCK!
I'm only worth 0.5% percent?!?!?!?!
fake? how?
Slicha, chaver, but the world is a BIG place.
>THIS ASSISTANCE ACCOUNTS FOR 0.5% OF US MILITARY SPENDING
I assumed you were imitating someone posting off a script intended for forums which had the ability to bold segments for the purpose of enticing (You)s from anons that would love to see a real shill in the wild and that you're not actually an idiot posting off a script that forgot to take that out.
You could also just be a massive faggot that uses those for emphasis and ends your sarcastic posts with a /s.

but is there a way to do bold text?
>but is there a way to do bold text?
You need to delete system32, it'll let you write in bold characters
cia on suicide watch falling apart
Loser organization of sexual degenerates and pedophiles.
Sad! Many such cases.
I can't prove this, but Israeli nukes have probably saved many Arab lives, by dissuading Arab nations from going on even more irresponsibly aggressive adventures.
It's happening slowly, but Arabs are learning to put more effort into self-improvement, and dialing down the hysterical paranoia and aggression.
Do the filings name anybody or do we need t end corporate personhood?
>Congress also authorized $600.7 million for “joint” U.S.-Israel missile defense programs
such a joke
Israel has never done anything with us.
Regards to this lawsuit, I'm worried that it's muslim lovers behind it.
Anyone have the quick rundown on IRmep?
I don't think I've ever seen an honest shill before.
>Congress also authorized $600.7 million for “joint” U.S.-Israel missile defense programs
This is a good thing and we are not apologizing for this.
You are welcome.
>such a joke
>Israel has never done anything with us.
You don't know much about your country's national security establishment.
They're smarter than you.
Dial down the hatred and do some real learning.
It's less fun (especially to those personalities such as yours) but can be rewarding. You might even end up as an adult with opinions that promote your nation's well-being.
I don't know what the point of your post is exactly, but our relationship with Israel is not a benefit for America as a whole.
>new to Sup Forums (and don't plan to be a regular)
Have fun back at your neo-con thinktank I guess.
Sorry that some people have been able to deprogram themselves from your lobbying.
Has Obama leaf returned as Neocon leaf?
FUCK ISRAEL
We seriously need to just have a fucking referrendum and vote to end support to israel. It's that simple.
The jews don't deserve our support.
WE ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE. YET SOMEHOW WE CANT EVEN MAINTAIN OUR OWN COUNTRY.
WEVE NEVER CREATED A CIVILIZATION IN OUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE. YOU MUST PAY FOR US GOY.
...
gtfo faggot
>CIA kills anyone they don't like
>Court says nothing
>CIA condems Israel
>court denies
WTF
honestly if you're an american citizen you should have to disavow your israeli citizenship
Yeah you're baiting, and they said trolling was a dead art. You're pretty good.
American citizen: spend a bit of time learning about the 99.5% of your massive military budget that has nothing to do with Israel.
Be an adult.
God I hope so.
