The Civil Administration assessed that approximately 30,000 tons of vegetables were smuggled without supervision.

A heated debate took place at the Knesset on Sunday over what lawmakers described as insufficient action against Israeli distributors who marketed produce from the Palestinian Authority that was known to be contaminated.

The discussion followed findings from the Health Ministry that in February nearly half of all cucumbers imported from the Palestinian Authority were contaminated, along with additional fruits and vegetables.

Lawmakers cited the data as part of broader concerns over food safety and enforcement.

A report published by the State Comptroller a year and a half ago found that between 2015 and 2022, the share of samples containing abnormal pesticide residues ranged from 27% to 40%, with a steady increase over that period.

Acting committee chairman MK Amit Halevi (Likud) said during the hearing, “This is a mass poisoning of Israeli citizens, it is hard to believe that such a case exists in this country”.

Halevi said the committee reviewed data indicating high rates of contamination in produce.

“We were exposed to increasingly horrifying data, tens of percent of poisoning within fruits and vegetables, the worst kind. It is unbelievable how many men and women developed cancer or how many miscarriages occurred – as a result. This despite an explicit law prohibiting this, and only for considerations of economic harm to Palestinians. They preferred the Palestinians’ economic welfare at the expense of the health of Israeli citizens.”

The hearing also addressed discrepancies in estimates of the volume of goods entering through crossings.

The Civil Administration assessed that approximately 30,000 tons of vegetables were smuggled without supervision.

Health Ministry representatives told the committee that three distributors were found to have sold contaminated produce despite instructions to move the goods to holding warehouses.

Lieutenant Colonel Nir Ezuz, head of civil planning at COGAT, said authorities will implement stricter controls.

He said that from now on 100% of goods will be inspected, field testing will be conducted, and a revised list of authorized distributors will be introduced.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
