Israel and its American lobby have committed audacious but generally unknown crimes against the United States. The government has long kept files about Israeli espionage, weapons smuggling, and covert operations on American soil classified...until now. Spy Trade begins on the trail of a vast smuggler network funneling stolen and illegally purchased surplus WWII arms to Jewish fighters in Palestine. When the FBI threatened to crack down, a clandestine summit meeting yielded minor convictions for small-time operators, but not the financial masterminds behind the scheme. Spy Trade probes Israel lobby smuggling operations diverting uranium from the US to Israel's Dimona nuclear weapons facility. The Justice Department battled mightily to regulate two key enablers―the Jewish Agency and American Zionist Council―as Israeli foreign agents in the 1960s. But when the effort collapsed, it unleashed election law violations and escalating intimidation of American politicians by the Israel lobby. Spy Trade reveals the long-term impact of a newly declassified "third scandal" that began in the 1980s. In the midst of both the Iran-Contra affair and the Jonathan Pollard espionage incident, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the Israeli embassy conducted a spectacular clandestine operation against American industries and workers; it has so far cost the US economy $71 billion and a hundred thousand jobs each year by shutting down or diverting US exports. More than a dissection of the tactics used by Israel and its lobby to evade justice, Spy Trade provides strategies for ending criminal immunity and restoring American governance.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This terrific historical exposé ought to be required background reading for those FBI agents assigned to investigate foreign espionage and public corruption matters. For many reasons, such cases are amongst the most challenging to investigate and prosecute, but are made even harder when undue political pressures enter into the picture. FBI officials responsible for setting investigative priorities and allocating resources would also do well therefore to read Spy Trade so they are aware of the historical linkage between Israel's 'Uzi diplomacy' arms dealing, the Iran-Contra scandal, and the Jonathan Pollard spy incident with AIPAC's nefarious 'lobbying' activities." --Coleen Rowley, former FBI agent and 2002 Time Magazine Person of the Year.

"Grant F. Smith's excellent, deeply disturbing book..is a welcome addition to a growing scholarly literature." --Michael Scheuer, former senior CIA analyst and author of "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror"

"Like political parties, lobbies are groups of citizens with shared interests, an important part of a functioning democracy. When they have enormous power, however, and especially if their activities remain almost completely hidden, lobbies can be dangerous.

Meticulously detailed in this riveting addition to his earlier exposés, Grant Smith reveals yet another facet of the extent to which the pro-Israel Lobby is beyond dangerous, and has become a serious threat to a broad range of American ideals, objectives and interests abroad, as well as here at home. This book contains many highly disturbing, documented revelations. Read it." --Ambassador Edward L. Peck, former Chief of Mission in Iraq and Former Deputy Director, Cabinet Task Force on Terrorism, Reagan White House

"This book presents formidable and dangerous new evidence of spying by Israel and the corrosive long term influence of its lobby on US governance." --Paul Findley, member of Congress from 1961-1983 and author of three books on the US-Israeli relationship, including the Washington Post bestseller "They Dare to Speak Out: People and Institutions Confront Israelʹs Lobby"

"Large numbers of Israel's supporters, both in the U.S. and abroad, continue to operate on the presumption that almost no crime against the U.S. or international law will ever be punished if it is done in the name of Israel," (p.121).

A copy of SPY TRADE should be in the hands of every Congress person and senator the US--if they truly represent the interests of the our country and the poor, tax-paying Americans who elected them and not the interests of a foreign country, Israel.

In an elegant little book of only 178 pages, with 300 supporting footnotes and additional appendices of copies of various documents, Grant describes the ways in which Israel takes what it wants from the US. In separate chapters, he investigates arms smuggling, the Israel lobby, the so-called "free trade" agreement, Iran-Contra, AIPAC, Jonathan Pollard, treason, military-industrial espionage, wars (Iraq), pharmaceuticals, campaign financing, and many other areas of economics and government.

Israel and its interests come before everything else: billions, wars, Iran, ridiculous votes in the UN (a recent vote to ban nuclear arms in the Middle East: 161-5, with the US one of the five voting against, along with mighty Palau and Micronesia!) supporting anything Israel wants to do and so on. As Rand Paul suggested, we borrow money so we can hand it over to Israel.

But who is going to stop this exploitation?

Apparently, not the people we elect to represent us.

They are bought and paid for.

Very straight forward written book. Informative and well researched.

Why don't we hear about this in our mass media? This is a question you have to ask our "elected" politicians.

"The hugely unsettling truth . . .

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

. . . is that Israel's intelligence services have found a seemingly unending number of recruits who are not only willing to betray America, but do so without remuneration because they have decided that Israel's - not America's - advancement is paramount and justifies criminal and/or treasonous behavior." -- the Foreward to "Spy Trade" written by Michael F. Scheuer, former CIA Bin Laden station chief and author of Marching Toward Hell: America and Islam After Iraq .
.
.
Grant Smith has again written a book in a gloves off, no-nonsense style reminiscent of the 1950's TV crime drama, "Dragnet." But the names HAVEN'T been changed to protect the perpetrators. He bases this book on past and recently declassified documents, the U.S. Defense Investigation Service, and 300 listed sources. Many are appended in this book, linking activities to specific individuals and organizations in Israel and in the Israel Lobby.

Smith details the Zionists' early engagements in arms smuggling following World War II, followed-up by more recent engagements with Iran in "arms for hostages"/Iran-Contra during the decade of the 1980's. He details the theft of classified U.S. military weapons technology and documents (nuclear included) as well as the theft of proprietary corporate intellectual property in pharmaceuticals, high tech, and weapons development/production acquired by infiltrating the military and U.S.corporate interests. Americans will be introduced to members and activities of the Sonneborn Institute and "the Kenya Group." Surprisingly, the latter plot IS NOT SEARCHABLE on Google to this day, much less made available to the American public by the mainstream media and perhaps even through your favorite conspiracy theory outlet.

The book visits the intrigue involved in the establishment of the U.S. free trade agreement with Israel, describes threats made to FBI Directors and U.S. intelligence agency heads as far back as J. Edgar Hoover, and catalogues numerous infiltrations of the White House since FDR's administration to the present day.

More troubling is the perpetrators' immunity from criticism, much less prosecution under clearly defined statutes, and the ineffectiveness and/or reluctance of the legislative and executive branches to declare the Israel lobby an agent of a foreign government under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)* of 1938 - all thoroughly investigated in this book.

But most troubling is the perpetrators' insatiable appetite for intrigue coupled with a near total lack of cognition of the obvious harm it has done AND is doing to both the people of the United States AND ISRAEL by its actions. This is the prevailing theme of "Spy Trade."

Grounded in facts

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2013

This is one of those books that reveales the insider truths. Also a book that one would buy or write a bad review just so lemmings wouldn't purchase. Do yourself a favor and buy it. Look at all my authentic reviews. Then look at all the bland types of reviews which the 1 ★& 2 ★ reviewers dish out. The israeli infiltration into reviws of books, movies, general consumer media is ridiculously huge. It's been reported on by israeli media. The government Israel pays it's people to hound dog the net in you tube comments, twitter, total media swarm.
