Then I recalled the carte blanch afforded BOSS in Britain by MI5 in the 1960s and 1970s, and concluded that I am looking at a repeat, with a second apartheid state's intelligence services being allowed to run free - because it has suited MI5's agenda.
I wonder when Craig Murray will turn to pondering MI5's role:
Britain's Most Undesirable Immigrant: Why Was Shai Masot Given a Visa?
Craig Murray

Quote:Astonishingly, the Israeli Embassy's Senior Political Officer Shai Masot, implicated in a plot against the Deputy Foreign Minister, was not on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Diplomatic List, the Bible for the status of accredited diplomats. This opens up a number of extremely important questions. Who was he, what was his visa status and why was he resident in the UK? It is very plain that the work he was doing as "Senior Political Officer" would equate normally to senior diplomatic rank.
He was a major in the Israeli Navy in the FCO's own table of equivalent rank, Major equates to Second Secretary in the Diplomatic Service. After that he went on to apparently executive positions in the Ministry for Strategic Affairs, before moving to the Israeli Embassy in London. There he held many recorded meetings with politicians, including giving briefings in parliament and at party conferences, and acted in a way that in general would accord with a rank around First Secretary to Counsellor.
So why exactly has he never featured in the FCO's Diplomatic List? He very plainly outranks many of those Israeli diplomats who are featured. It should be noted it is perfectly normal for diplomats not to come from a country's foreign affairs ministry. For one example Ivan Rogers who spectacularly resigned recently as Britain's Ambassador to the EU, was from the Treasury not the FCO. Several people in the Israeli Embassy, who are on the Diplomatic List, are not from the foreign service. So that is not the reason.
This is not an obscure point. As a former diplomat, my first instinct was to look him up on the Diplomatic List. Every country in the world controls the number of permitted foreign diplomats very closely, for two reasons. Firstly it confers an immigration residency status, and secondly it confers tax exemption and an immunity from prosecution. The Diplomatic List is therefore not a loose thing there is an entire section of good employees in the FCO tasked with policing it in close liaison with the Home Office.
Embassies are allowed a very small number of technical and support staff IT people and cleaners in addition. But these must be what they say they are. Plainly Masot was not in reality one of these, and plainly the official Israeli Embassy explanation that he was a "junior member of staff" is a lie. The Israeli Embassy is not given visas for "junior members of staff" except in very specific job categories which Masot plainly does not meet.
It is a lie in which the FCO must have been absolutely complicit in organising his immigration residency status in the UK.
I have contacted the media office of the FCO to query Masot's immigration status, and so far received no reply. But the key questions are these:
Why is the British Government granting Israeli intelligence operatives false residency immigration status in the UK based on a deliberate lie about their role and position?
How many other Israeli intelligence officers are active in the UK with a false immigration status?
Who, specifically, authorised Masot's visa, and why?
My advantage as an ex-British Ambassador is that I know the bureaucratically correct questions to ask to get to the heart of a matter. Please do ask them of your MP, and get them to demand answers from the FCO.
I'm sure he won't get a reply to any of his three key questions, but the last one is the really key one. Who authorised his visa and why?
I believe that Mossad and BOSS were very close too. Other than that isn't Israel one of the three stooges? The US, the UK and Israel were all working together on the Iran-Contra affair. Interestingly, after Israel counter-intelligence officer Amiram Nir was fingered by Oliver North and resigned from the Israeli government he set-up a security company in London --- before dying (in a mysterious plane crash - whispered to be a clean-up operation).
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
