Unit 8200 is Israel's effort to dominate the world through cyber technology. I explained the cycle yesterday:
STEP 1: U.S. government-sponsored tech from places like DARPA and the CIA's In-Q-Tel is funded and developed with our tax dollars.
STEP 2: It's then given to Israeli intelligence free of charge through intelligence partnership agreements. Israel's Unit 8200 then employs the technology for Israeli intelligence.
STEP 3: After a couple of years, Israel "graduates" Unit 8200 cyber commandos who take that same technology to Silicon Valley as "private citizens", where they launch for-profit start-ups with bottomless Jewish funding sources.
STEP 4: The tech start-ups make billions for the Unit 8200 commandos in the private sector, using the technology developed by U.S. taxpayers, and selling it now to the private sector.
STEP 5: The technology (apps, software, etc.) then collects troves of data on U.S. Citizens (including politicians), and it's given back to Israeli Intelligence, who know more about us than our government knows, or even that we know about ourselves. It's the greatest bank of blackmail information known to man.
