Washington, DC. On January 11, 2011, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee asked the Superior Court of the District of Columbia court to strike IRmep's January 10 filing that documents economic and national security harm to the United States resulting from AIPAC's improper acquisition and circulation of classified US government and confidential industry secrets. AIPAC, defending itself from plaintiff and former employee Steven J. Rosen's $20 million defamation suit, filed the motion to strike stating the IRmep filing "does not present the Court with any information that would be remotely useful to the Court in resolving this defamation action" and that the filer "has no tangible interest in this case." At issue is whether trafficking in classified information is a longstanding and common practice at AIPAC. IRmep believes that the Rosen v. AIPAC lawsuit could confer "de jure" recognition that it is lawful for AIPAC or its operatives to actively solicit, obtain and circulate national defense and secret industrial information to the Israeli government and other parties trying to exert undue influence over US war and economic policy. Plaintiff Steven J. Rosen has recently revealed in court filings AIPAC's annual acquisition of classified arms delivery data from the Office of the President, secret US policy accords with Saudi Arabia, classified investigations of financial transactions between foreign governments and US politicians, and a heretofore secret FBI investigation of AIPAC for acting as a foreign agent that occurred in the 1970s. IRmep believes that a favorable court ruling for AIPAC could jeopardize IRmep's own recent criminal complaints now under consideration at the IRS and Justice Department over false charitable purpose, fraudulent application for tax exempt status and ongoing AIPAC functions as a stealth Israeli foreign agent. IRmep's "Motion to Strike" AIPAC's opposition (including the lengthy IRS and DOJ complaints as exhibits) will be filed in court on January 28. AIPAC is also now involving an insurance adjuster in abitration proceedings. This raises many questions since most policies specify that "any loss to which a contributing cause was the Insured's being engaged in an illegal occupation or illegal activity" are excluded from insurance coverage. IRmep is currently investigating whether AIPAC's insurance company intends to pay AIPACs losses over litigation and damages settlement with Steven J. Rosen. This could blow back on US taxpayers if reinsurers include government bailed out entities such as AIG while letting AIPAC's donors off the hook for financially supporting the illegal activities of AIPAC's executives.

Your statement "At issue is whether trafficking in classified information is a longstanding and common practice at AIPAC" is incorrect. Please refer to a legal dictionary for the definition of defamation
ReplyDeleteIf you bother reading briefs submitted in this case, the surface issue is defamation. The underlying issue is AIPAC (and Steven J. Rosen) trafficking in classified US government information.
