Section 224

.
This is a very dangerous provision being inserted into the 2026
NDAA being voted in Congress on 4 Jun 26. The original text of
this section is derived from were H.R.7540 and S. 3855
(The U.S.-Israel FUTURES Act).

~~~~

Summary:

"Section 224 of the Chairman’s Mark of the NDAA establishes a new U.S. Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative aimed at accelerating joint research, development, and integration of Israeli origin and jointly developed defense technologies into U.S. military systems and programs of record. It directs the Secretary of Defense to designate an executive formalize deeper cooperation and integration across emerging and existing domains, including counter-drone systems, missile and air defense, quantum computing, AI and autonomous systems, cyber and electronic warfare, directed energy, and defense industrial base co-production, while facilitating pathways from R&D into procurement. This section requires regular reporting to Congress on progress and technology transitions, and emphasizes rapid adoption of Israeli defense innovations to strengthen U.S. military capabilities and technological supremacy."

I think Congress was attempting to slip this in to the omnibus legislation without public scrutiny as is their MO.
Does this mean US servicemen will be controlled by the IDF? Or Israeli soldiers will receive US military benefits?
I don't know, but I think it needs to be removed and debated. Call your congress critters before Thursday if you
are able and raise a fuss!

by the military. Let's hope the non Zionist wing of the Pentagon will resist this.

"A New Policy strongly opposes section 224 because the purpose of this section is to avoid the scrutiny and transparency afforded through the current grant assistance to Israel in favor of a mechanism designed to implant Israel’s defense and intelligence establishments into the most sensitive and basic levels of America’s own defense technology ecosystem"

Zionism is a social disease

a US Israel NATO like deal. Attack Israel and you attack the US. I guess they can then turn over blowing up civilians, sorry, terrorists in Palestinian territory to US troops and leave gods chosen people to do other things. We'll be Bibi's low pay hired guns.

Found this explainer over on NC. Very concerning. (Don't know how to embed X)

Also this --

"The shift will strip away the political and diplomatic oversight mechanisms that make the relationship publicly accountable, moving it from a visible annual aid vote into the opaque machinery of defense acquisition, where oversight is limited and political accountability is minimal. The result would be a defense relationship that is simultaneously deeper and less transparent."

Whose idea was this? The 2 "R" critters that proposed this were probably put up to it by the Zion lobby. Sure, they get most of their funding from AIPAC and defense contractors, but it smells like
treason to me.

rings in our collective noses (tax breaks, BS military deals/ripoffs, etc.), and dragging us (the People) around like battered animals. I've seen reports about this sh1t, too. Thanks for the heads-up, Q. Rec'd!!

and that the US is a subsidiary to "Greater Israel" blah blah blah.

Remember always: "Government" and "Criminal" are not opposite alignments. It is quite possible (in fact, all too common) to be both.

US of A subjects itself to emasculation by a tiny country.

are letting this happen right under their noses. They just don't seem to give a shit. They are distracted and mesmerized by stupid crap or bangles or who goes to which bathroom.
I'm finding it harder and harder to feel sorry for them and with what's about to happen to America.
As Netanyahu said years ago: "We will own America and break it up and sell off the pieces."
Here goes another piece.
Thanks Capt'n for bringing this up.

Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
