WEBVTT - Sexpionage….A Dangerous Game

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen eighty six, Mordecai Venunu, an Israeli nuclear technician,

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>made two key mistakes. The first is that he flew

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to London and began sharing secrets about Israel's nuclear weapons

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 1>program with reporters. The second is that he went on

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>a date. Here's Venunu describing what happened in his own

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>words to sixty minutes Australia.

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I bought a cigarette that I saw an American woman

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 2>standing there buying as a cigarette. I look at her,

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>she look at me.

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>He approached her to start a conversation, and because he

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>thought this was his idea, he suspected nothing. She was

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>dragging you into her trap.

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>No, I was already in her trap.

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>After a few dates, she convinced Venunu to join her

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>for a weekend in Italy. Despite being a whistleblower who

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>was wanted for treason by the Israeli government. Venunu flew

0:00:58.560 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to Rome with her.

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>When I entered the house, the door opened and immediately

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>jump on me. Two people and another woman come and

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 2>injected me, and then I lost my conscience.

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>The new new spent the next eighteen years in an

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Israeli prison. The woman who seduced and entrapped him. Was

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>engaged in one of those sinister and secretive aspects of

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>intelligence work, sex bionage.

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 3>What is sex spondage? Actually, these sex becomes like a

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 3>drug and your target becomes like drug addicted, so he

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.559
<v Speaker 3>physically cannot be with someone else.

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm Niel Strauss and join me on March twenty sixth

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.200
