LAHAV 433 should investigate this repressive organization. What do you think they'd find?

Hey, Bob. Good to hear from you.

Unfortunately, the entire justice/security apparatus gets their marching orders from the SHaBaK.

That includes not only judges, but LAHAV 433, as well. See here: https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-exchange-between-lawyer-judge-in-bezeq-corruption-case/

A genuine, in-depth peek inside the SHaBaK's torture apparatus would find every sort and degree of deviance, sadism, degradation and physical bestiality. They would find sex workers, foreign torture experts, incarcerated thugs (Jewish and non-) and technologies invented specifically to induce suffering, without evincing any signs of such.

Only dismantling the organization and punishing the perpetrators to the full extent of G-d's law will suffice to clean this stain from the planet.

Thanks for the reference. It's overwhelming to realize how out of control these bureaucracies are.

There's must be people within the system who can be persuaded to have the moral courage to become whistleblowers. Anyone who's taken the required oaths to become part of that system swore to be true to the law, and not to the the gangs and counter-gangs that act under the color of law but freely violate even the most basic one: Human Dignity and Liberty. Of course, whistleblowing is an act of conscience based on morality and ethics. They may be few, but I believe they'll eventually summon up the moral courage to tell the truth about what goes on.

If only...

The problem in this case is the institutional punishment for those who even attempt to get out.

It's like the mob.

Once you're in, you're in for good.

And if you leave, they make your life a living hell.

Everyone knows it, too.

This is not the CIA, where there's oversight and someone to run to.

It's a 'brotherhood' from which there's no escape.

Check out Victor Ostrofsky's BY WAY OF DECEPTION, a description of life inside the Mossad, by someone who got out and ran. Not his real name, by the way.

It will paint a picture for you.

Of money, prostitutes, drugs and every other vice imaginable -- to keep the agents happy!

That's not to mention what they did for informers and to suspects.

It's a depraved culture on the inside, and Ostrofsky catalogs everything he saw.

He's a wanted man now, by his own admission.

He knows too much and has said too much.

G-d bless him.
