Ex-Rep. Reveals Dirty Secret of D.C. Politics
by Michael Collins Piper

A notorious Orthodox Jєωιѕн influence-peddler manipulated accusations of “anti-Semitism” to force a powerful member of Congress to give a lucrative (and sensitive) contract to an Israeli cell phone company, giving that firm access to the cell phone calls made on Capitol Hill.

Former United States Representative Robert William “Bob” Ney (R-Ohio)—snared in the wide-ranging criminal web spun by Zionist intriguer and Washington, D.C. lobbyist Jack Allan Abramoff—has a lot of stories like this to tell.

The only member of Congress sent to prison after pleading guilty to corruption charges relating to his association with Abramoff—despite widespread knowledge that perhaps as many as 100 other members of the House of Representatives had been compromised by Abramoff—Ney has released an interesting memoir, Sideswiped: Lessons Learned Courtesy of the Hit Men of Capitol Hill. And while he tells quite a bit in it, it’s clear (if you can read between the lines) that he’s holding back some really “juicy” information about some of his former colleagues.

However, the story of how Jack Abramoff connived to pressure Ney into awarding the cell phone contract to an Israeli firm is one of the most revealing (if not explosive) tales within the book.

The contract was within Ney’s purview as chair of the House Administration Committee. Two companies—including Foxcom, the Israeli venture—were competing to provide cell phone service for the U.S. Capitol. Various members of Congress (for their own reasons) were pushing Ney for one or the other company to get the lucrative contract.

Ney asked the National Security Agency (NSA) to look into possible dangers arising from providing cell phone access to Capitol Hill—the seat of power of the U.S. government. He was particularly concerned about Foxcom since it was foreign-based.

Still, after the NSA approved the pending contract, Ney was faced with continued maneuvering by the two companies and their lobbyists. At one point, one of the rival lobbyists asked why Ney would even consider giving the contract to what the lobbyist referred to as a “Jєω” company—citing its Israeli origins.

Ney says he was “shocked” by this language, but, he says, Abramoff—lobbying on behalf of Foxcom, the Israeli firm—saw this as a golden opportunity.
