JAN 14: Immediately after September 11th, stories were circulating that 5 Israelis were arrested in New York after being caught 'celebrating' the strikes. They were placed in solitary confinement for weeks but then were quietly deported.

Israeli Dominick Suter tells the same story. The owner of a moving company called Urban Moving Systems suddenly upped and moved back to Israel abandoning his business for no apparent reason.

The imprisonment of Israelis, mostly all believed to be Mossad agents, was all down to their suspicious behavior. Shady enough behavior to warrant the FBI to look into the 'business' of these people and arrest them. But what is even more suspicious is the way in which they were quietly released, with minimum fanfare and deported back to Israel.

The five celebrating Israelis aren't the only ones arrested for their dubious behavior.

In October of 2002 in Plymouth, PA, a restaurant manager reported on three movers who were caught dumping furniture near his place. When he approached the driver, later identified as Moshe Elmakias, the man fled the scene. The manager made a note of the trucks sign, 'Moving Systems Incorporated' and called the police.

The truck was later spotted by the police. The two other movers, identified as Israelis Ayelet Reisler and Ron Katar began to act strangely enough for the police to search the truck and find a video which revealed footage of Chicago with zoomed in shots of the infamous Sears Tower. Falsified travel logs and fake paperwork were also found on the Israelis. When pressed for the name and number of the customer they were supposedly moving his furniture for, they were not able to provide them.

On October 10th, 2001 news broadcaster CNN made a brief mention of a scuppered bomb plot in Mexico promising to bring more details as the story unraveled. But that was the last time the TV network station ever reported on the story.

But over in Mexico the foiled bomb threat was headline news and was posted on the official website of the Mexican Justice Department.

Two terror suspects were caught in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies; in their possession were nine hand grenades, a high powered gun and C-4 plastic explosives.

The two men arrested were Salvador Gerson Sunke, a Mexican Jew, and Sar ben Zui, a colonel with the Israeli special forces, aka MOSSAD. Also found in their possession were false Pakistani passports. 

But like previous cases involving Israelis, the story disappeared from the press and the two men were released and deported back to Israel, very quietly and very top secret.

An investigative report by the news service La Voz de Aztlan revealed that plenty was going on behind closed doors.

"La Voz de Aztlan has learned that the Israeli Embassy used heavy handed measures to have the two Israelis released. Very high level emergency meetings took place between Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Jorge Gutman, General Macedo de la Concha and a top Ariel Sharon envoy who flew to Mexico City especially for that purpose. Elías Luf of the Israeli Embassy worked night and day and their official spokeswoman Hila Engelhart went into high gear after many hours of complete silence. What went on during those high level meetings, no one knows, but many in Mexico are in disbelief at their release."

Stories of Israelis being arrested by law enforcers are widespread and plenty with one common theme – they all get released and deported back to Israel with no charges filed against them.

Furthermore, if one casts their mind a few years back the Mossad 'warned' that some 200 Al-Qaeda members were planning major attacks in the U.S. Three years on and not one of these Al Qaeda members has been arrested nor found.

However, nearly 200 Israeli agents have been. Agents who included military personnel, electronics experts, wire and phone taping experts and explosive experts with the skill to bring down buildings including high rise ones.

Could it be that the 200 Al Qaeda members, Mossad warned about, are in reality their own agents sent to frame Arabs for "terrorist attacks"? (Source: Indymedia.org)

Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an "aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behavior among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, the proposal says.

Other ideas included chemical weapons that attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats to troop positions, making them uninhabitable. Another was to develop a chemical that caused "severe and lasting halitosis", making it easy to identify guerrillas trying to blend in with civilians. There was also the idea of making troops' skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight.

The proposals, from the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, date from 1994. The lab sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called "harassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals". The plans have been posted online by the Sunshine Project, an organization that exposes research into chemical and biological weapons.

Spokesman Edward Hammond says it was not known if the proposed $7.5 million, six-year research plan was ever pursued.

Only the Grand Canal, Venice's biggest and most famous waterway, can still take water traffic, and the falling canal levels have given rise to terms such as "ghost town" and "desert" in local papers.

"The phenomenon is due to low pressure, that is, the good weather that coincides with the syzygy, the alignment of the moon, earth and sun," said Venice's tides office.

The new moon this week has helped push water levels to their lowest point in more than a decade, nearly 2.5 feet (80 cm) below sea level, it said. The lowest fall on record was 4.1 feet (1.21 meters) below sea level in 1934.

The city assured tourists that water levels would soon start rising again, restoring the romantic look they expect.
