00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,520
In the United States, you might have remembered seeing the Zoomcopter toy kiosks in malls all

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:09,340
across America in the early 2000s. Here's a video of one. If you're in your 20s or 30s,

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,860
you might have remembered seeing these guys as a kid. They always tended to have a thick Israeli

4
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:20,900
accent, and they let it fly up. What you might not know is that the Zoomcopter kiosks, especially

5
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:26,540
in malls on the East Coast around 9-11, were actually front companies for Israeli intelligence

6
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:31,120
gathering operations. Fox News actually did a four-part investigation on this in the early

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,180
2000s. They ended up taking it down, but I'm going to play a clip of it in a second. This is a

8
00:00:35,180 --> 00:00:40,640
declassified FBI document of the report as well. Numerous classified documents by Fox News indicate

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,580
that even prior to September 11th, as many as 140 other Israelis had been detained or arrested in a

10
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:54,060
secretive and sprawling investigation into suspected espionage by Israelis in the United States.

11
00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:58,460
Another part of the investigation has resulted in the detention and arrests of dozens of Israelis

12
00:00:58,460 --> 00:01:04,400
at American Mall kiosks, where they've been selling toys called Puzzle Car and Zoomcopter.

13
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:10,680
Investigators suspect a front. Shortly after the New York Times and Washington Post reported the

14
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,720
Israeli detentions last month, the carts began vanishing. Zoomcopter's webpage says,

15
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,400
we are aware of the situation caused by thousands of mall carts being closed at the last minute.

16
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,200
This in no way reflects the quality of the toy or its saleability. The problem lies in the

17
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,500
operator's business policies. Documents say they targeted and penetrated military bases,

18
00:01:29,740 --> 00:01:33,200
the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigations,

19
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:38,880
dozens of government facilities, and even secret offices and unlisted private homes of law enforcement

20
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,260
and intelligence personnel. The majority of those questioned, quote, stated they served in military

21
00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:50,260
intelligence, electronic surveillance intercept, and or explosive ordinance units. General accounting,

22
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:55,180
office investigation referred to Israel as country A and said, according to U.S. intelligence agency,

23
00:01:55,300 --> 00:02:00,260
the government of country A conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the U.S. of

24
00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:01,460
any U.S. ally.
