POV - Point of View - CNN & ISRAEL'S SECRET - PRISONER X - Part 1

CNN selectively hides stories that conflict with their political interests and business associations. Although news is supposed to be unbiased that is not the case with CNN. Is there any wonder why they are not being investigated regarding from where and who their information sources are? Why are the Associated Press (AP) and Fox News being investigated and not CNN? Is there something wrong with this picture? Why didn't CNN report on Israel's secret... PRISONER X?

CNN HIDES BEHIND THE TRUTH

When one tunes in to the news they expect to get just that. That is not the case with CNN which is immersed in selling US government propaganda, promoting Wall Street (gangsters) and Israel. They selectively choose to ignore topics that would go against the grain of those they support.

That was the case today on the Piers Morgan show when Morgan was interviewing former Minnesota governor Jessie Ventura who is considering running for president in 2016. Ventura started to address how the government deceives the public and pointed out the illegal detention of innocent individuals detained in Guantanimo Prison who were ordered to be released but the US government continues to detain them. Morgan cut him off and said we'll get back to that. The problem is MORGAN NEVER DID. It is also a subject the CNN fails to cover although other REAL news networks do.

The same tunnel vision is applicable to their aging alleged journalist Wolf Blitzer who is a strong supporter of Israel given his genetic history. The 65-year-old Blitzer was born in Augsburg, Germany March 22, 1948 the son of Cesia Blitzer (née Zylberfuden), a homemaker, and David Blitzer, a home builder. His parents were Jewish refugees from Poland, and Holocaust survivors. Blitzer began his career in journalism in the early 1970s in the Tel Aviv bureau of the Reuters news agency. In 1973 he caught the eye of Jerusalem Post editor Ari Rath, who hired Blitzer as a Washington correspondent for the English language Israeli newspaper. Blitzer would remain with the Jerusalem Post until 1990, covering both American politics and developments in the Middle East.

For some strange unexplained reason CNN chooses to have Blitzer host a program that often focuses on the problems in the Middle East with Israel frequently being the core of the story. He extols Israel and condemns those that are picking on the nation of soldiers. Here's the twist.... as much as CNN and Blitzer praise and defend Israel they failed to report a story that shows a chink in Israel's amour. That story is the death of Israel's Prisoner X who was a member of Israel's Mossad. It is a story that other news agencies have reported. If you don't know who prisoner X is you will now.

Ben Zygier was an Australian-Israeli citizen who was a veteran of the Israel Defense Forces and allegedly an agent of Mossad. He was imprisoned in Ayalon Prison, Ramla, Israel and died in custody in 2010, reportedly by hanging himself in a maximum-security cell designed to be suicide-proof. Prisoner X, Mr. X and Mister X were placeholder names for him while he was being held in strict secrecy for unspecified crimes.

The Israeli government has acknowledged that a prisoner held under a pseudonym died in custody and confirmed the prisoner's identity as Ben Zygier. Before an Australian Broadcasting Corporation investigation identified Zygier in February 2013, little was known about him. Until that report aired, Israeli media were subject to a media blackout.

The story first surfaced when an Israeli news website (Ynet) briefly posted an article about him in 2010. The article was taken down within hours, and was allegedly removed because the Israeli security services had a gag order imposed. These reports claimed that the man was confined in total seclusion, and was being housed in the cell that was built for Yigal Amir, the assassin of Yitzhak Rabin, and that he was being held in such secrecy that even his guards did not know his identity.

Journalist Trevor Bormann of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) investigated the story for about 10 months after receiving a tip during a visit to Israel in April 2012. His findings were reported in February 2013 on the ABC television program Foreign Correspondent, which claimed there was strong evidence that Prisoner X was Ben Zygier, a dual citizen of Israel and Australia, and who carried an Australian passport in the name of Ben Allen.

The ABC report stated that Zygier had been a Mossad agent before being imprisoned, and was found by prison guards hanged in his cell on 15 December 2010 and buried at the Chevra Kadisha Jewish Cemetery, in Melbourne, Victoria. Zygier, who came from a prominent Jewish family in Melbourne, had emigrated to Israel fourteen years before his suicide, taken the more Israeli name Ben Alon, and was married with two children. He reportedly also used the names Ben Allen and Benjamin Burrows in Australia.

Zygier was recruited to the Mossad in the early 2000s. According to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald, Zygier was investigated by the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) for allegedly using his Australian passport to spy for Israel. According to a report by the German news magazine Der Spiegel Zygier was originally enlisted into the service of the Mossad in 2003 and eventually served the organization by entering the ranks of European companies doing business with Iran and Syria. However, Zygier proved to be a somewhat incompetent spy and in 2007 he was demoted and ordered to return to Israel, after his work failed to meet the Mossad's expectations. He left the organization in 2008 to return to his native Australia.

In January or February 2010, shortly before his arrest, an Australian investigative journalist confronted Zygier about his potential involvement with the Mossad. The journalist, Jason Koutsoukis, had been tipped off that ASIO was searching for Australian-Israeli spies. Zygier vehemently denied any espionage activity, connection with the Mossad, or visits to Iran and Syria. The reporter had come to believe based on his research that Zygier worked at one point for a front company in Europe run by the Mossad that sold defective electronic equipment to Iran.

On 24 March 2013 the German news magazine Der Spiegel reported that, in a desperate attempt to return to the Mossad, Ben Zygier had given secret information to a Hezbollah operative, leading to the arrest of two top Lebanese informants for Israel, Siad al-Homsi and Mustafa Ali Awadeh, who were arrested in Lebanon in 2009 for spying for Israel and sentenced to long prison terms, and their arrest led to a widely publicized wave of arrests and trials of Lebanese citizens accused of spying for Israel. Homsi and Awadeh were arrested after Zygier had given their names to the Hezbollah operative. According to the report, Zygier had hoped to turn the Hezbollah operative into a double agent working for Israel.

NOTE

The irony is CNN does report positive meaningless stories from Cambodia such as fireworks celebrations while innocent civilians are being murdered by the government and people in high place doing business with the government. More disgusting is CNN has their greedy little hands out to accept Cambodian government money for ads on CNN to promote Cambodian tourism which apparently to CNN is more important than reporting THE NEWS.
