This week the Iranian satellite television channel PressTV is broadcasting a 25 minute interview with IRmep director Grant F. Smith about the Israel lobby’s history of challenges to rule of law and governance in the United States. “Autograph” with Susan Modaress reviews key findings from the book “Spy Trade” and may be streamed online via YouTube:
Segment #1 How did arms smuggling, subverting Justice Department foreign agent registration orders and a string of presidential pardons generate an assumption of criminal immunity within the Israel lobby? How is this evident today?
Segment #2 What new tactics are US law enforcement agencies implementing to stem Israeli commercial espionage operations in the United States? Why, after decades of challenges to rule of law, are they acting now?
Segment #3 What is the outlook for Freedom of Information Act requests under the Obama administration’s new transparency mandate? Why can’t President Obama stop illegal settlements as a minor first step toward Middle East peace?
