Not Forgetting the al-Hillis 22278

 in Uncategorized by

The mainstream media for the most part has moved on. But there are a few more gleanings to be had, of perhaps the most interesting comes from the Daily Mirror, which labels al-Hilli an extremist on the grounds that he was against the war in Iraq, disapproved of the behaviour of Israel and had doubts over 9/11 – which makes a great deal of the population “extremist”. But the Mirror has the only mainstream mention I can find of the possibility that Mossad carried out the killings. Given Mr al-Hilli’s profession, the fact he is a Shia, the fact he had visited Iran, and the fact that Israel heas been assassinating scientists connected to Iran’s nuclear programme, this has to be a possibility. There are of course other possibilities, but to ignore that one is ludicrous.

Which leads me to the argument of Daily Mail crime reporter, Stephen Wright, that the French police should concentrate on the idea that this was a killing by a random Alpine madman or racist bigot. Perfectly possible, of course, and the anti-Muslim killings in Marseille might be as much a precedent as Mossad killings of scientists. But why the lone madman idea should be the preferred investigation, Mr Wright does not explain. What I did find interesting from a man who has visited many crime scenes are his repeated insinuations that the French authorities are not really trying very hard to find who the killers were, for example:

the crime scene would have been sealed off for a minimum of seven to ten days, to allow detailed forensic searches for DNA, fibres, tyre marks and shoe prints to take place.
Nearby bushes and vegetation would have been searched for any discarded food and cigarette butts left by the killer, not to mention the murder weapon.
But from what I saw at the end of last week, no such searches had taken place and potentially vital evidence could have been missed. House to house inquiries in the local area had yet to be completed and police had not made specific public appeals for information about the crime. No reward had been put up for information about the shootings.
Behind the scenes, what other short cuts have been taken? Have police seized data identifying all mobile phones being used in the vicinity of the murders that day?

The idea that the French authorities – who are quite as capable as any other of solving cases – are not really trying very hard is an interesting one.

Which leads me to this part of a remarkable article from the Daily Telegraph, which if true points us back towards a hit squad and discounts the ides that there was only one gun:

Claims that only one gun was used to kill everybody is likely to be disproved by full ballistics test results which are out in October.
While the 25 spent bullet cartridges found at the scene are all of the same kind, they could in fact have come from a number of weapons of the same make.
This throws up the possibility of a well-equipped, highly-trained gang circling the car and then opening fire.
Both children were left alive by the killers, who had clinically pumped bullets into everybody else, including five into Mr Mollier.
Zainab was found staggering around outside the car by Brett Martin, a British former RAF serviceman who cycled by moments after the attack, but he saw nobody except the schoolgirl.
Her sister, Zeena, was found unscathed and hiding in the car eight hours later.
Both sisters are now back in Britain, and are believed to have been reunited at a secret location near London.

There are of course a number of hit squad options, both governmental and private, which might well involve iraqi or Iranian interests – on both of which the mainstream media have been very happy to speculate while almost unanimously ignoring Israel.

But what interests me is why the Daily Telegraph choose, in the face of all the evidence, to minimise the horrific nature of the attack by stating that “Both children were left alive by the killers”? Zainab was not left alive by design, she was shot in the chest and her skull was stove in, which presumably was a pretty serious attempt to kill a seven year-old child. The other girl might very well have succeeded in hiding from the killers under her mother’s skirts, as she hid from the first rescuers, and then for eight hours from the police.

The Telegraph article claims to be informed by sources close to the investigation. So they believe it was a group of people, and feel motivated to absolve those people from child-killing. Now what could the Daily Telegraph be thinking?

    New news: TV is comparing Obama to Lincoln again, this time in reference to Lincoln invoking an amendment to the Constitution that permitted the president to pay the national debt without regard to Congress. I didn’t catch the details.

    Bit later, rightist Fox channel is praising Lincoln – the man and the movie – (but not Obama) and calling for Republicans to return to Lincoln’s values.

    It’s all coming together. Look out for that stovepipe hat.

    “Brain states have long been known to be altered by various drugs such as scopolamine, a highly effective drug that leaves the victim able to physically participate in crimes and later have no memory of them.”

    Good old Scopolamine. No hypnotic pre-programming needed either, provided the controller or director is in the same room — behind the camera as it were. With a wireless earpiece, or bone-conduction audio from around the collarbone area (built in to body armour?), no need for an earpiece. There’s always an implant if anyone wants to bother.

    By now, the drug designers no doubt have better. Time release, more carefully calibrated, less danger of OD.

    Good old Phil Anschutz, family values supporter and owner of AEG and the late Michael Jackson, and also owner of the freelance-written http://www.examiner.com some of whose writers pursue a very personal agenda in framing up then hunting down unlikable fiends. As does Murdoch’s UK Sun.

    “Allison Michelle Ernst The Lady in Red” : Another Red clue! Anna Chapman, Gareth Williams red wig, the red holdall (Scopolamine would have worked in that case too), someone with a short black kill wig, but a red wig to make post office deliveries, then a long black travel wig.

    Wasn’t there a story of Sirhan Sirhan’s controller wearing a polka-dot dress? And another polka-dot dress appeared at another assassination? When did they change from polka-dots to red clues? It might be a clue in itself.

    Didn’t Bluebird connect James Holmes to the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California? And his and/or Lanza’s father connected to FICO and Libor – though some say that’s debunked now.

    Obama’s nomination of Hagel as secretary of defense has drawn sharp criticism, particularly from the right side of the aisle.

    Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said Hagel’s selection would be an “in-your-face nomination.” But just what in Hagel’s past warrants opposition from his own party?

    One sticking point, according to the Washington Post, is Hagel’s position on Israeli security. Hagel complained of the “Jewish lobby” and its influence in Washington, and once commented that he was Nebraska’s senator, not Israel’s, according to Slate.

    But as Harretz pointed out, Hagel wrote in his 2008 book, “America: Our Next Chapter”: “There will always be a special and historic bond with Israel, exemplified by our continued commitment to Israel’s defense.”

    However, Hagel followed that statement with, “But this commitment cannot be at the expense of our Arab and Muslim relationships.”

    This might be why Graham said Hagel would be “the most antagonistic secretary of defense toward the State of Israel in our nation’s history.”

    Republicans also aren’t too keen on Hagel’s stance against the war in Iraq. As a Senate Foreign Relations Committee member, Hagel broke with his party and criticized the war; according to Slate’s Fred Kaplan, Hagel opposed both invading Iraq and the 2007 troop surge, positions the Republicans mostly favored.

    Thanks for the link. Very interesting. However, Ali van Heusen (full name: Allison Ernst van Heusen) is one of America’s fittest and strongest women. She is extremely pretty, too. Even if she would shave her head, her body would still be an eye catcher and a good journalist would recognize her. The idea would be exciting and a lot of the presented links are well documented but i doubt that she could go into a courtroom full of press and media and would not be identified if she were really the same woman.

    If they want to get rid of Ali van Heusen, then they probably need Paula Broadwell for this job 🙂

    Holmes was in the SALK institute. That is confirmed. He said that he did not know what he was doing there because they made him sit in front of a computer screen all the day although he had no knowledge in software programming.

    We do not know whether or not Lanza was there, but we have confirmation that his uncle Robert Lanza worked with BF Skinner in the SALK institute and that the SALK institute was always eager to treat autism patients.

    That’s when Obama chose Brennan to serve in his current position as Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, which does not require Senate confirmation.

    Brennan is considered a counterterrorism expert and speaks fluent Arabic. He’s credited, according to the LA Times, for improving inter-agency coordination post 9/11. He has a reputation for being, as the Washington Post describes, “tough-as-nails.” He’s also earned, at least on once occasion, the reputation of an honest spy.

    After the 2009 Christmas Day bomber successfully boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit with plastic explosives, Brennan claimed responsibility for failing to catch the bomber sooner, though no one was harmed.

    “I told the President today I let him down,” Brennan told reporters.

    A 2009 profile of Brennan offers a short list of his storied and eclectic career. Brennan was station chief in Saudi Arabia, served as intelligence briefer under President Bill Clinton, and worked as deputy to CIA Director George Tenet.

    Brennan is probably most well known for supporting Obama’s drone policy, i.e., the use of drones to kill terrorists abroad. In April this year called the strikes “ethical and just.”

    He added, “There is nothing in international law that bans the use of remotely piloted aircraft for this purpose or that prohibits us from using lethal force against our enemies outside of an active battlefield, at least when the country involved consents or is unable or unwilling to take action against the threat.”

    “Re: Time the “Happy Family” photograph taken.
    My guess is the “Happy Family” photographs were taken between 15.00 and 15.15hrs. The position of the house in the photographs is as previously identified – by the bridge, nearly opposite the post office in Doussard. (if it is the same as identified by “The Sun”)
    Why? My idea is that this piece of information came to light by the press asking questions, buying drinks in the bars or cafes of Doussard. Probably got a response along the lines of, “Oh they had pictures of the house on the corner by the road going up to Anand. The police asked if we’d seen the family around there between 15.00 – 15.15.” The press have then extrapolated to give themselves a precise time of 15.15 for the final photograph.”

    q @ 6.25 GPS satellites carry a set of nuclear detonation detectors consisting of an optical sensor (Y-sensor), an X-ray sensor, a dosimeter, and an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) sensor (W-sensor), that form a major portion of the United States Nuclear Detonation Detection System.

    From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System

    Now how about this latest theory fresh from the US? Is it quite ridiculous or not? However if there is truth in it could SAH with satellite info be in the know. Was he a risk of passing it on? I can’t see it myself but where did the Israeli’s test their nuclear bombs? Or didn’t they need to because someone else did it for them?

    “As long as we’re connecting the killings to Mossad, you have probably not had time to follow the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant conspiracy, but there is a growing theory that there was no earthquake. Rather the tsunami that hit FNPP was triggered by an Israeli nuke. The initial evidence was that the vids of the tsunami show very clearly that the buildings were intact at the time the water came in. Whereas a Richter 9 EQ 150 km off-shore would have flattened everything. I have been chasing the global isotope measurements for about a week. These reports have just started coming out from various institutions around the world.

    The amazing thing is that 133-Xe — which the Nuke Test Ban Treaty folks use to monitor illicit nuke testing — spiked at the time of the “earthquake”, which was 50 minutes before the tsunami hit and 3 HOURS before the reactors were in trouble. There was no 137-Cs release until 6 hours after the Xe spike. Even more amazing is that the total 133-Xe released was 25% MORE than the total inventory for FNPP, whereas the total 137–Cs release was only 10–25%, depending on who’s doing the calculations. There are also a number of circumstantial facts, as there always are, as to motive for Israel to want to screw Japan over, such as Japan had just publicly backed a Palestinian state.

    But the point is: SAH and Mollier probably had satellite data on the FNPP non-earthquake”

    Off topic Holmes:

    For various reasons i am pretty sure that Sonny Archuleta was the second – so far unknown – shooter in the Aurora cinema. Would we have had a still open and existing twitter and facebook account for SAH, Iqbal and SM, investigation would have been much easier in the al Hilli case.

    Perhaps zionist Israel fan Archuleta was the shooter while Holmes was just a victim who could not remember anything at all.

    Only twelve days after Chevaline everything back to normal at SST…

    “David Willetts, Science and Universities Minister, praised Sir Martin and congratulated him on his award. He said: “Look at what he’s achieved. You begin with an idea in a university department, you then spin it out from the university, you then grow it as an independent company, you then accept that it is going to be bought by a very large operation like EADS Astrium but you are able to maintain the distinctive identity of SSTL within the wider business family. Each one of those transitions is so hard to manage and many companies come a cropper at each one. The fact that he has managed each one of these transitions tells me that he is a very successful business leader indeed.”

    Professor Sir Christopher Snowden, vice chancellor of the University of Surrey, added: “Martin has enormous energy. He inspires everyone around him, in terms of being a leader but also an innovator, he has all the characteristics of a space entrepreneur. Martin’s work setting up SSTL and at the Surrey Space Centre was extremely important to the university. For many people space and Surrey are synonymous. He has created a legacy that will go on for many, many decades to come.”

    As a leading authority on satellite technology Sir Martin is recognised in NASA, ESA and throughout the world. He was knighted by Her Majesty the Queen in the 2002 British New Year Honours for services to the small satellite industry and is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Surrey and a Fellow of the Royal Society.

    Sir Martin founded SSTL with a vision to change the economics of space, making space more accessible to all. Utilising modern commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology, SSTL has developed a new market for small but advanced satellites and provides innovative and reliable cost effective solutions for established space agencies, emerging nations space programmes, commercial and research organisations.” http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=38574

    @Tim V: News confirms that a tsunami bomb was created in WWII by New Zealand and the U.S., as an offshoot of bombing coral reefs. All these years on, would it be too much to think that it has been upgraded and used?

    There are concerns that China might use this technology on Japan over the Senkaku Islands, but I don’t know if anyone has evidence that this is in China’s arsenal.

    Pink, thanks for that Sun article. Did this just come out or is it one of the older ones?

    The following points are noteworthy:

    1. The certainty that SM was killed first, standing with Saad and Zainab, and may have been the target.

    2. The emphatic statements that BOTH SAH and SM worked for the “nuclear industry”. That’s interesting because even as many brought up all kind of links and connections here, we have never, in fact, been able to tie Saad to the “Nuclear Industry”, other than those vague statements and rumors that he may have assisted back in 2002 or 2003 to identify/disable Saddam’s nuclear capability. Which, BTW, makes little sense as Saddam had very little such capability by then. It is notable that even these rumors have never been confirmed.

    3. The disapproving angle the reporter takes on SM’s family’s lack of co-operation or seeming interest in finding his killer.

    4. The statements about the car and motorcycle which “could have been” lying in wait for SAH, a speculation on which the pictures in Annand are said to cast a doubt.

    I will note that the strong preference by the “investigative’ cover-up team to move the BMW’s arrival to a later point is yet again in evidence – as Tim V has often noted – a point several of us here agree is highly significant. support. For myself, l think that this 1/2 hour moving of the timeline is one of the critical clues that can potentially unwrap the entire police narrative. my theory is that something was either seen or known to happen during that 1/2 hour that has the potential to destroy the official narrative, and that this is ‘something” we do not know yet – or we do but haven’t connected some dots 9as incredible as that may seem).

    My other speculation along these lines is that the girl Zainab is kept away from family members since she cannot be trusted to stick to the official timelines (ie shooting started almost as soon as they arrived).

    Finally, it’s worth noting, yet again, the somewhat different emphasis in tone between the french and English investigative teams. The comment about “Zainab opening up to investigators” may be a form of a implicit threat directed at the French, as in “we got the witnesses”.

  • Q

    @Tim V: One further thought: With all the near-real-time satellites circling the globe, it is most definite that one of these systems captured images of the 03/03/11 tsunami as it happened. Whatever the images contained, no doubt any anomalies would have been noted by the scientists who study these images. Why is it that we have not seen these images?

    Please tell me when I’m supposed to use quotation marks. I was always taught that it is not good form to quote one’s self.

    “By Gordon Thomas ‘Gideon’s Spies: The Secret History of Mossad,’

    The killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh bears the hallmarks of the ruthless Israeli intelligence service. One of the leading chroniclers of the agency gives a unique insight into its methods.

    The Israeli government’s refusal to comment on the death has once more gained worldwide publicity for Mossad, its feared intelligence service. Its ruthless assassinations were made famous by the film Munich, which detailed Mossad’s attacks on the terrorists who killed Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics. Long ago, the agency had established that silence is the most effective way to spread terror among its Arab enemies.

    In the past year, al-Mabhouh had moved to the top of Mossad’s list of targets, each of which must be legally approved under guidelines laid down over half a century ago by Meir Amit, the most innovative and ruthless director-general of the service. Born in Tiberius, King Herod’s favourite city, Amit had established the rules for assassination.

    “There will be no killing of political leaders, however extreme they are. They must be dealt with politically. There will be no killing of a terrorist’s family unless they are ALSO DIRECTLY IMPLICATED in terrorism. Each execution must be sanctioned by the incumbent prime minister. Any execution is therefore state-sponsored, the ultimate judicial sanction of the law. The executioner is no different from the state-appointed hangman or any other lawfully-appointed executioner.”

    I first met Amit in 2001 and through him, I talked to the spies of Mossad, the katsas, and finally, to the assassins, the kidon, who take their name from the Hebrew word for bayonet. They helped me write the only book approved by Mossad, Gideon’s Spies. Amit said the book “tells like it was – and like it is”.

    Amit showed me a copy of those rules at our first meeting. After two years of training in the Mossad academy at Herzlia near Tel Aviv, each recruit to the kidon is given a copy.

    The killing in Dubai is a classic example of how Mossad goes about its work. Al-Mabhouh’s 11 assassins had been chosen from the 48 current kidon, six of whom are women.

    Only Meir Dagan (10th Director) knows how many times he has asked a prime minister for legal permission to kill a terrorist who could not be brought to trial in an Israeli court, along with the kidon to whom he shows the legally stamped document, the licence to kill.

    Mahmoud al-Mabhouh’s name had been on such a document, which would have been signed by Benyamin Netanyahu. That, like every aspect of a kidon operation, would be firmly denied by a government spokesman, were he to be asked. This has not stopped Dubai’s police chief, Lt-General Tamin, from fulminating against the Israeli prime minister.

    Two years ago this week, Dagan sent a team of kidon to Damascus to assassinate Imad Mughniyeh. His Mossad file included details of organising the kidnapping of Terry Waite and the bombing of the US Marine base near Beirut airport, killing 241 people. The United States had placed a £12.5 million bounty on his head. Dagan just wanted him dead.

    Mossad psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioural scientists, psychoanalysts and profilers – collectively known as the “specialists” – were told to decide the best way to kill Mughniyeh.

    They concluded that he would be among the guests of honour at the Iranian Cultural Centre celebrations in 2008 for the celebration of the Khomeini Revolution. The team rigged a car-bomb in the headrest of the MITSUBISHI PAJERO they discovered Mughniyeh had rented, to be detonated by a mobile phone. As Mughniyeh arrived outside the Culture Centre at precisely 7pm on February 12, the blast blew his head off.

    At Mughniyeh’s funeral in Beirut, his mother, Um-Imad, sat among a sea of black chadors, a sombre old woman, who wailed that her son had planned to visit her on the day after he died. She cried out she had no photograph to remember him by. Two days later she received a packet. Inside was his photograph. It had been posted in Haifa.

    The list of kidon assassinations is long and stretches far beyond the Arab world. In their base deep in the Negev Desert – the sand broken only by a distant view of Israel’s nuclear facility at Dimona – the kidon practise with a variety of handguns, learn how to conceal bombs, administer a lethal injection in a crowd and make a killing look accidental.

    They review famous assassinations – the shooting of John F Kennedy, for example – and study the faces and habits of potential targets whose details are stored on their highly restricted computers. There, too, are thousands of constantly updated street plans downloaded from Google Earth.

    Mossad is one of the world’s smallest intelligence services. But it has a back-up system no other outfit can match. The system is known as sayanim, a derivative of the Hebrew word lesayeah, meaning to help.

    There are tens of thousands of these “helpers”. Each has been carefully recruited, sometimes by katsas, Mossad’s field agents. Others have been asked to become helpers by other members of the secret group.

    Created by Meir Amit, the role of the sayanim is a striking example of the cohesiveness of the world Jewish community.

    Within the global intelligence community, respect for Mossad grew following the kidon assassination of Dr Gerald Bull, the Canadian scientist who was probably the world’s greatest expert on gun-barrel ballistics. Israel had made several attempts to buy his expertise. Each time, Bull had made clear his dislike for the Jewish state.

    On the afternoon of March 20, 1990, the sanction to kill Bull was given by the then prime minister, Yitzhak Shamir. Nahum Admoni, the head of Mossad, sent a THREE MAN TEAM to Brussels, where Bull lived in a luxury apartment block. Each kidon carried a handgun in a holster under his jacket.

    When the 61-year-old Bull answered the doorbell of his home, he was shot five times in the head and the neck, each kidon FIRING THEIR 7.65 PISTOLS in turn, leaving Bull dead on his doorstep. An hour later they were out of the country on a flight to Tel Aviv.

    Within hours, Mossad’s own department of psychological warfare had arranged with sayanim in the European media to LEAK STORIES that Bull had been shot by Saddam’s hit squad because he had planned to renege on their deal.

    The same tactics had been placed on stand-by on October 24, 1995, for the assassination of Fathi Shkaki who, like Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, had reached the top of Mossad’s target list as a result of his terrorist attacks.

    Two kidon – code-named Gil and Ran – had left Tel Aviv on separate flights. Ran flew to Athens, Gil to Rome. At each airport they collected new BRITISH passports from a local sayan. The two men arrived in Malta on a late-afternoon flight and checked into the Diplomat Hotel overlooking Valetta harbour.

    That evening, a sayan delivered a MOTORCYCLE to Ran. He told hotel staff that he planned to USE IT TO TOUR THE ISLAND. At the same time, a freighter that had sailed the previous day from Haifa bound for Italy radioed to the Maltese harbour authorities that it had developed engine trouble. While it was fixed, it would drop anchor off the island. On board the boat was a small team of Mossad communications technicians. They established a link with a radio in Gil’s suitcase.

    Shkaki had arrived by ferry from Tripoli, Libya, where he had been discussing with Colonel Gadaffi what Mossad was convinced was a terrorist attack. The two kidon waited for him to stroll along the waterfront. Ran and Gil drove up on the MOTORCYCLE and Gil shot Fathi Shkaki six times in the head. It had become a kidon signature.”

    Note the similarities (IN CAPITALS) in the modus operandi.

    And here is the funny conspiracy (don’t take this serious). It just shows that we can be fooled with false results and false findings during our own online research, too. And that we should be critical about our own findings, too:

    OK. Search google for “ARCHULETA MESA”

    And then tell me whether or not this is a nice conspiracy.
    Remember: Sonny Archuleta was Superman and orange hair Holmes was obviously Batman’s Joker. And then put this to Archuleta Mesa and cook it into a conspiracy …. 🙂

    Haganah
    By Munya M. Mardor (1964)

    “The Mossadmemorial at its Glilot headquarters north of Tel Aviv is a concrete maze that takes the form of a human brain. It is engraved with hundreds of names, and there is space for hundreds more, if necessary, to be carved with pride for agents sent to carry out the Mossad motto: “By way of Deception thou shalt do war.”

    Israel’s Secret Wars
    By Ian Black and Benny Morris (1991)

    “…pinpointing Iraq’s nuclear reactor for a surgical air strike; and waging war on the streets of Europe against Arab terrorists—all recounted with great narrative skill. The book is also a timely study of personal rivalries within the Israeli intelligence community, where, then as now, spymasters and the political leadership squabbled over the meaning of morality, justice and responsibility.”

    Man in the Shadows
    By Efraim Halevy (2006)

    Efraim Halevy was the director-general of Mossad from 1998 to 2002, a period of crisis that saw five Israeli prime ministers come and go, even as the threat of Islamic terror rose. He writes with surprising candor about his work and mounts a determined defense of the service against accusations that it has a dangerous degree of autonomy: “There must be an intimacy that is constantly nurtured between the intelligence leader and his political leader.” Halevy came to office in the aftermath of two Mossad failures. The first was the attempt to assassinate Khalid Mishal, the spiritual leader of Hamas. The second was a failed operation in SWITZERLAND, when a Mossad officer was arrested trying to wiretap the phone of a suspected terrorist.

    By Way of Deception
    By Victor Ostrovsky (1990)

    Victor Ostrovsky is the Mossad’s first whistleblower—or betrayer, depending on your point of view. In his four years as an agent, Ostrovsky kept a diary, believing that he had a duty to reveal “the twisted ideals and self-centered pragmatism that I encountered inside the Mossad.” He names many of its agents and station chiefs, and he identifies its codes, locations of safe houses and operational methods, including assassination and blackmail. The Israeli government failed in its attempt to have the book banned, and its publication shocked not only Mossad but also the CIA and other intelligence services that worked with the Israelis. Ostrovsky’s charges include an allegation that the Mossad failed to share with the U.S. vital intelligence that could have averted the 1983 suicide bombing of the Beirut barracks that killed 241 Marines.

    Vengeance
    By George Jonas (1984)

    “…. the government’s policy is not to confirm or deny any such action. In the event that one of Mossad’s kidon operations goes awry and an agent falls, the only clue would be a new name carved on the agency’s Glilot memorial.”

    I wonder if the word “Chevaline” is included yet?
