On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Emmy-nominated filmmaker and award-winning journalist James Bamford, author of ‘Spyfail: Foreign Spies, Moles, Saboteurs & the Collapse of America’s Counterintelligence’. He discusses Israel’s influence in the US presidential election as the US enables Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Israel’s interference in the 2016 election by lobbying Donald Trump to agree to Benjamin Netanyahu’s demands, pro-Israel billionaire and dual US-Israeli citizen Miriam Adelson’s enormous $100 million donation to Donald Trump to buy pro-Israel policies, and the Israel lobby’s purchasing of the Democratic Party and Kamala Harris – who has never condemned Israel. Bamford also talks about the difficulty for journalists to write critically about Israel in the US and the attacks he has faced for his reporting on Israel, Israel’s infiltration of university campuses in the US, the embedding of Israeli Unit 8200 agents in the US’ NSA, the US’ assistance to Israel for assassinations against key figures in the regional resistance against Israel, the fate of the Russia-NATO proxy war in Ukraine, and much more.
