The Controller of The Golem

The Controller of The Golem



The most shadowy and yet possibly the most powerful figure in the Israeli Mossad Organization was a man known only as the Controller of the Golem.


His name and true identity was top secret.



CIA agent Bob Belfor had been sent by his superiors in Washington D.C. to talk to the Controller of the Golem about a shipment of weapons that the Israeli Navy seized in the Red Sea off Sudan last week.




A Panamanian flagged vessel the Klos-C had been boarded by the Israeli Navy who claimed to have found on board dozens of Syrian made M-302 rockets that were being shipped by the Islamic Republic of Iran to Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.



The rockets that were found were said to have a range of 150 to 200 kilometers.



Apparently America's Neville Chamberlainesque President Barack Obama was having a hard time believing that Iran could possibly do anything wrong.



So Belfor had been sent by Washington to see for himself the shipment.



The Belfor report would then be given to President Obama to digest (no doubt leading to massive indigestion on his part).



After Belfor had been shown the shipment, he then went to talk to the Controller of the Golem.



They had a discussion about the Iranian leadership.



"Of course," the Controller of the Golem went on, "we found out how tolerant and peace-loving the theocratic thug rulers of Iran really were when on February 14th 1989 the Supreme Leader of Iran the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa or death sentence on Indian born British subject and writer Salman Rushdie for his book The Satanic Verses."



"I've never really read the book," said Belfor, "because as a CIA agent, I don't have time to read. I'm too busy playing on-line games like World of Warcraft on the off-chance some terrorist cells are conversing with one another via the game.  You'll never guess what level I reached in the game last week..."



The Controller of the Golem was starting to think that the old 1960s Mel Brooks television series Get Smart was the most accurate screen  depiction ever made about the American "intelligence" community.





                .        .         .


Sonia Sedgewick was one of MI-6's top agents.


She had been sent by 10 Downing Street in London to Israel to see for herself the shipment of Syrian made rockets that the Israelis claimed had been sent by Iran intended for Hamas in the Gaza Strip.



The Controller of The Golem enjoyed talking to this intelligent and very beautiful woman who was smartly dressed in a gray skirt and white blouse.



She had heard of Salman Rushdie although she too had never read his book The Satanic Verses.



"I must confess in terms of books for personal reading I've never really read anything past 1900," she laughed,  "I'm strictly a Will Shakespeare and Jane Austen girl."



The Controller of the Golem could have kissed her but he felt it might have been construed as unprofessional conduct.



"These satanic verses that Rushdie wrote about for which he was condemned to die by the Ayatollah Khomeini,"  Sonia asked him, "weren't these purported to be actual verses in the Quran that the Prophet Mohammed claimed the Devil caused him to put in the first written copy of the Quran and he later took these verses out in later copies of the Quran?".



"That's right," the Controller of the Golem answered.


"What did these verses actually say?" Sonia asked, "what exactly were the satanic verses?".



"That Allah had three daughters," the Controller of the Golem replied.


"That Allah had three daughters?" Sonia Sedgewick was incredulous, "but don't Muslims condemn Christians for suggesting that God had a son?".



"That's right," the Controller of the Golem nodded.




To be continued.
