The Armed Services Committee of the U.S. Senate on June 11 approved its version of the $1.15 trillion National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2027, which includes a section on extended U.S. military cooperation with Israel similar in substance to that passed by the same committee of the House of Representatives on June 4. The two provisions share the same core initiative—a “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.” If enacted by both chambers, it would mean a de facto integration of U.S. and Israeli defense technologies and testing.
At the same time, the draft bill for the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027, which is currently before the Senate, includes a Section 622 that would require the President to “expand and enhance intelligence sharing with the Government of Israel” on a list of subjects that encompasses almost every topic of intelligence interest in the Middle East. The bill was put forward by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
As pointed out by former CIA official Paul Pillar, this bill cements the U.S.-Israel functional connection “by moving it into the shadowy world of relations between intelligence agencies. That world is even farther removed from public visibility and accountability than the defense integration, and even less likely to stimulate thoughts about American taxpayers’ money going to a foreign country.”
Independent candidate for President Diane Sare has called for a massive mobilization to prevent the Congress from passing into law either of these pieces of legislation. She issued a statement on June 13 reprinted here, and is conducting interviews, and leading rallies to stir up maximum attention and pressure. EIR has added subheadings.
Sare for President: On Our 250th Anniversary, Let’s Keep Our Independence! No Merger with Israeli Mossad or British MI6!
by Diane Sare
June 13—Did you know that the National Defense Authorization Act of 2027 (with an absurd budget of $1.15 trillion) calls for merging U.S. military technology, research, and intelligence with that of Israel? This is through Sec. 219 of the NDAA, entitled, “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”
Sec. 219 of the NDAA and Sec. 622 of Senate bill S. 4615 must be stopped!
Tantamount to Treason
It would already be tantamount to treason to merge military technology and intelligence with any other nation, since there is always a possibility that our “partner” nation’s interest might not align with ours, or even be in direct opposition, jeopardizing American national security.
In the case of Israel, the state with which our lawmakers are proposing to merge defense and intelligence capabilities is a violent, fascist dictatorship that is committing genocide against the Palestinian people and now is doing the same to the people of Lebanon. The American Defense Intelligence Agency has just issued an official warning that Israel is engaged in hostile espionage against top American political and military figures at a “critical” threat level by their standards. Why would we even consider sharing military technology with such a nation?
Despite all of this, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) and a majority of members of the House Armed Services Committee just voted to merge American military technology and intelligence with Israeli technology, including “data fusion,” AI, electromagnetic pulse weapons, bio-research (read biological weapons), etc. The U.S. Senate, in S. 4615, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027, Sec. 622, the “United States-Israel Intelligence Sharing Enhancement,” is proposing to do the same thing. Neither bill has been passed into law yet, and a full mobilization must be launched to stop them.
CIA-MI6 Link
Less blatant, but equally subversive, is the link between American intelligence and Britain’s MI6. Former U.S. Secretary of State and former CIA Director Mike Pompeo posted on X, following the death of former MI6 head Sir Alex Younger, that Younger had been present at Langley, Virginia, for Pompeo’s confirmation as CIA Director, and that the two of them had immediately brought their senior teams together “in the UK to plan and coordinate.” On what, exactly?
It should be obvious that surrendering our sovereignty in order to collaborate with the criminal Israeli regime and the British Empire is not in the interest of the American people, and it certainly doesn’t make our nation more secure. Think about the economic hardship imposed on the American people by the illegal war of aggression against Iran, launched jointly by the United States and Israel; inflation is at a record high, and families who are already carrying unmanageable levels of personal debt are finding it impossible to afford groceries and gasoline. On top of this, Americans, especially younger ones, are vehemently opposed to having their tax dollars spent on murdering children.
The policy of torturing, starving, and bombing people until enough of them have been eliminated that the remaining ones bend to your will is an old tactic of the murderous British Empire. The British East India Company killed millions of people in India through such methods, and it is certain that our founders had this in mind when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence that everyone is “created equal,” and “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights … Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” That standard is the one which Americans must uphold, particularly at this moment.
George Washington’s Warning
In his 1796 Farewell Address, our first President, George Washington, warned about the hazards of not pursuing equitable relations with other nations. He wrote that “nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings toward all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges toward another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.”
Two hundred and fifty years after our Declaration of Independence, the United States has voluntarily enslaved itself to its old colonial adversary and its Israeli puppet regime. The majority of members of both parties in both houses of Congress have sold their souls and our nation’s future for millions of blood-soaked dollars from the clientele of Jeffrey Epstein and pro-Zionist billionaires like Miriam Adelson, Larry Ellison, and Paul Singer, to name a few.
‘We the People’
In his 1998 paper, “Where Franklin Roosevelt Was Interrupted,” Lyndon LaRouche presciently warned: “The state must never become, in any way, the property of a governing class of oligarchs, but a state whose will must be subordinated to the world-historical national interest of all members of the nation, and also humanity as a whole, as reason defines that interest.”
This is the standard that “We the People” of the United States must demand. The government of the United States of America is obligated by law to uphold the principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution, but the people must be the ones to hold the government to account.
Join me in stopping this treasonous legislation from passing into law. Call your Representatives in Congress to demand that they strike Sec. 219 from the NDAA, and strike Sec. 622 from S. 4615. Sharing intelligence and military technology and data on American citizens with Israel is a violation of our rights and jeopardizes the security of our people and the people of the world. No to Section 219 of the NDAA, and no to the Senate Intelligence Act (S. 4615) Sec. 622. No intelligence and technology merger with Israel or any other nation!
