Photos of U.S Army Base in The Holy Land

It’s the enormity of this thing, whatever it is, that grabs you.

THE AMERICAN army base - As reported in my last memo, a huge American army base is nearing completion in Israel. Reportedly, it has holding facilities for as many as 18,000 protesters.

After visiting it yesterday, I'd say way more. This base is massive. I counted ten enormous US Army issue prefab warehouses and more were going up. At the base guard post, the American flag is waving in the wind. A sign proclaims that the project manager is one Jerry Ray.
I start taking photos of the base with a cheap camera. The guard asked what I was doing. I replied, "I'm a journalist proving that a huge American military base is being constructed on Israeli soil."
"What's wrong with that?" he asked. "Who else will protect us from the Palestinians?"
"Where are the Americans?," I probed.
"What do you mean, they're everywhere here. Everyone in charge is American."
We drove away. My friend at the wheel was even more depressed than me. "It's a concentration camp," he said.

To witness Israel's loss of sovereignty, take Route 443 to the Rosh Haayin junction. Drive ten minutes until you see Rantis Junction. The sign points to Beit Arye, and Halamish. Turn right. The base is a mile away on the left side. To salute the American flag, turn left at the entrance road.
The base is located ten minutes from Ben Gurion Airport. Luckily, a new terminal opened last year, so the Americans have the spacious old terminal to store and move whatever they're planning to import once Gush Katif and the rest of the settler vermin are rid of.

The article prompted a reporter from a large American radio network to call me. He wanted to see the base and photograph it. I met him an hour later and off we went. First stop, the base gate. The reporter is amazed to see the American flag waving and to read on a sign that the contractor for the base is an Arab named Mustafa. He notes what a huge security fiasco hiring an Arab contractor to build an IDF base would be. Then we see busloads of Arab workers leaving the base by bus. We continue down the road and photograph the massive buildings and underground digging. Then we reach the checkpoint at the border of the Green Line. The base stops precisely there, the border the Americans have planned for us. We turn into the dirt road to the left and start following the circumference of the base.

The base is enormous, far huger than any other base in the country. We estimate that several tens of billions of dollars are going into the base itself but the new road surrounding the complex currently being blasted out of the rock has to add another billion dollars to the pricetag. As for the value of 50 square miles of prime Israeli real estate: more billions. Neither of us knows what the base will be used for so I suggest, "Let's go inside and ask someone." We reach the entrance where two guards are seated. I ask one if we can speak to someone in charge of the project and photograph inside. The guards agree to call headquarters and see. One guard calls, the other points to a path to the right and says, "Let's see if they'll let you photograph up there. You've never seen so many computers and cameras in your life."

The base construction manager agrees to talk to us. We are escorted to his trailer/office where he is sitting with three other sub-managers. The radio reporter wastes no time asking, "Are those buildings going to be used to hold evacuated settlers and protesters?"
The project manager laughs. I agree. That is not the purpose of this base. Next question: "What is this base going to be used for?"
"A storage facility for the IDF."
I respond: "Suddenly the IDF is suffering a huge lack of warehouse space? I mean, how big is this base?"
"It will be half the area of all Tel Aviv."
"For storage? What is the American role then in this base?"
"They are building it for us. All the supervisors are American."
"What are those underground tunnels for?"
"No tunnels. It just looks that way because of the topography. Look, you came to the wrong person. I'm a simple builder from Rosh Haayin. What do I know?"

We didn't know either. We now knew the US was building this complex with an Arab chief contractor. It will not likely or primarily be for IDF use. One guess was that it will replace all the vital IDF bases in Yesha after a pullout but that wasn't satisfying. Nothing could replace men overlooking the enemy. I received the reporter's permission to distribute the photos, six hours before I was to do a 2 hour interview on the Jeff Rense radio program. I sent him the photos and then chose a select few experts to tell me what they were of. My first two replies were:

Barry, I have seen these kind of installations when I was in the military for years I was stationed at a base where a major part of it was like this. These are not barracks of any kind. The metal facilities built up on the rocks are huge electronic facilities probably filled with CIA and extensive phone and other electronic monitoring stuff. The bunker is one just like the ones I was around at the base I was at here in California. It is a missile launch bunker. Somewhere within a mile to 5 miles are silos with the missiles in them, This kind of a facility has minimal personal but filled with covered electronics that can even be monitored from the US itself. Not one of those large buildings is for people to live in or even really work in.

and

This is exactly what I was told in 2001, and I quote:
"It is the intention of the U.S. administration, to ultimately turn over to the United Nations, the military base that is being considered for construction in the heart of Israel. It is the leaders of the NWO/Illuminati who will decide the appropriate time when all that will occur. The U.S. is to build the military base within Israel under the guise that it is for the use of the U.S. military. It is not. It is to be turned over to the United Nations at the appropriate time. The sole purpose of this base is for the United Nations use, not the U.S., and not Israel. This base will be a disaster to the best interests of Israel. It will be used against Israelis."

Forget Israeli sovereignty. Our precious and holy land will soon be used as a forward base for the impending New Middle East.

Reaction to my last article about the enormous military base being built by the US in Israel was worldwide and strong. Two of the correspondents actually worked on the base. Let us first get an overview of the debate as presented by some knowledgable commentators

I spoke to a person some time ago, who has worked on the site you spoke of last night. This person said that you are right in your findings and that the base is 25 sq. miles ON THE SURFACE! The so-- called water tower and the underground door seen in the picture, is one of the openings into the underground. This goes down at a 45 degree angle towards the hill in the background. There are missile silos hidden in the ground all over. Each missile has 9 war heads attached that can be sent in 9 different directions.

I read while ago that the IDF had agreed to let the US stockpile Military Supplies in Israel. That is actually a good thing for Israel on a number of levels. Second, In the event of an emergency, Israel could take these materials immediately after receiving the OK from the US. This is far better than having to wait for material to be shipped from US bases Germany or Turkey. For what that's worth.

* Wondered where all this spare land is coming from in the middle of the country? The government is working on a land swap with the JNF. They are giving the government land in the center in exchange for land in the Negev. The deal is basically acre for acre, plus some millions of sheqels to the JNF!! The information is from a trustworthy friend who has been working at the JNF for a number of years. Apart from the fact that it is not their land, where is all the money going?

*A base is being built by a foreign power. A. read the Wye Accords and find out Wye: http://www.mideastweb.org/mewye.htm

From World Affairs Brief:
One thing for sure: these buildings are going to conceal a lot of equipment and/or people in some future movement. I think the US and the Israeli government intend a forced suicidal withdrawal from all the strategic areas outside the 1967 war borders (the Green Line). This huge military and settlement withdrawal is not designed to bring peace -- nothing will -- but only to weaken Israel sufficiently so that during the next Arab/Israeli war, Israel will be forced to accept a UN mandated settlement and occupation -- in the name of "peace", of course. The cameras might, and computers would, be essential for a large logistics base or storage base if there were to be a major withdrawal of Israel Defense Force (IDF) equipment from the territories. The advocates of the base insist that it is a gift from the US for signing the Wye Agreements. Far from being a multi-billion dollar project, the whole thing only costs $125,000,OOO. And all that are going up are some harmless warehouses.

I will lead the chorus who insist that this is the cover story and it's a flimsy one at that. $125,000,000 may cover the cost of the warehouses but there is much, much more to this base than them. Study the following photos and see what you think:

Photo 1 - This picture does not do justice to the site. This is an opening dug into the Eastern fringe of the base, about five miles from the warehouses. In fact, there are six separate concrete chambers within the structure. My colleague noted that it looks like a water diversion except, "Where will the water come from?"


Photo 2- This is a long shot of a section of the base which is not being used to construct storage buildings. Note the concrete lot above the area, which appears to be a helipad. And note also the significant mounds of newly dug dirt in the background. Now jump to the closeups:


Now jump to the closeups:
Photos 3 and 4 - That's a mighty big door for a mighty tiny building. Observe the blast walls in front of the openings. The buildings are divided into two storeys. Level One certainly looks like a concrete bunker. But level two is the same color and shape as the distant warehouses. Once the surrounding dirt piles cover level one to the top, level two will look to any satellite like just another of the storage sheds on the base. But beneath, the purpose of the concrete bunkers with their doors high and wide, is certainly not for dry storage. Unlike all the warehouses on the base, these structures have a blast wall opposite their entrances which would be very handy protection against missile attacks. We ask what purpose such a small structure has that justifies so much protection and camouflage. We conclude with trepidation that these structures could well be tunnel entrances.



Photo 5 - This is a section of very extensive roadworks built despite tremendous engineering difficulties at the back of the base. The road follows the Green Line precisely and boasts a two lane asphalt road, a security track and a fence that will likely go electric when finished. And this road/fence extends far from the base perimeter, continuing south beyond the horizon. These are the borders agreed to by Netanyahu at Wye. Now we return to the laughable project cost estimate of $125,000,000. That would be a bargain just for the road.


People working on this project have clearly been compartmentalized. They buy the cover story about storage facilities and are told no more than what they have to know. The US is building a base in Israel and it is more than a storage depot. Far more.
