Questions and Answers

What is the Center for Policy and Law Enforcement? IRmep research has revealed important laws are routinely broken by Israeli  and Israel-linked U.S. entities.   IRmep's Center for Policy and Law Enforcement works to reveal, document, formulate pro-forma evidence and encourage law enforcement officials and regulators to uphold US law and prosecute wrongdoing.

What does Middle East policy have to do with law enforcement?
In the 1940s, the Jewish Agency set up a massive arms smuggling network in the United States.  Although hundreds of members were identified stealing and violating the Arms Export Control Act, only a few lower level operatives were ever prosecuted.  By the 1960s, Israel-linked groups were stealing nuclear material and technology.  In the 1980s Israel's LAKAM technology and military secrets network was preying on business and national defense infrastructure.  In 2005 Israel's American lobby AIPAC was caught trying to use stolen classified information to touch off military conflict with Iran. Today, operatives conduct interventions into US media and politics, but remain outside registration with the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Important US statutes, rarely enforced, could contribute much more to Middle East peace�but only if Americans understand how law enforcement is related to policy, and prosecutors are motivated to finally "take the case."

11/19/2014 According to court filings, Technion's Dr. Amir Gat allegedly �stored project-related files and technical information on his personal laptop, rather than on his safeguarded office computer, in violation of the TCP and ITAR.� On May 25, 2010, a virus attacked project leader Dr. Sandra Troian's computer network working on the JPL "Electrospray" project at Caltech, causing hundreds of project files to be uploaded in rapid succession to an unknown IP address outside of Caltech.

On June 3, 2010, Dr. Troian found Dr. Gat wandering alone, unauthorized, in one of her access-restricted experimental laboratories.
