Virginia About to Subsidize Massive Israeli Fish Farm

Project Jonah was for half a decade the most secretive project of the Virginia Israel Advisory Board (VIAB). Secrecy was needed, according to VIAB board minutes, because "leaked information could jeopardize funding opportunities from the state."

VIAB is the only state government agency exclusively devoted to promoting and subsidizing Israeli companies. It was behind the launch of a Sabra Dipping Company plant in Colonial Heights, the Israeli military contractor Oran Safety Glass located in Emporia and the rollout of Energix Renewable Resources, Ltd solar utilities across the commonwealth. The Israeli company behind Project Jonah is AquaMaof, which obtained its core recirculating technology from a Minnesota inventor in 2016.

Project Jonah has gone through iterations since it was first hatched by VIAB in 2013. At first the project was to grow tilapia for direct distribution through the nearby regional Food City supermarket chain headquartered in Abingdon. Perhaps because it was unsightly to challenge Virginia's unsubsidized innovative tilapia market leader, Blue Ridge Aquaculture, Project Jonah's Ecosus LLC then rebranded to Dominion Aquaculture LLC and claimed it would instead become a leading salmon producer.

Key Points:
- AquaMaof has no experience with projects of this size and was recently sued over the death of millions of fish in another project.
- Project Jonah is attempting to force a community college into partnership through land purchases, co-location and promises of government subsidized training programs. This "entwinement" is typical VIAB strategy.
- Other VIAB sponsored projects have failed, leaving counties holding the bag. But state money keeps flowing.
- Project Jonah's investment bank 8F will not clarify if sovereign wealth funds allegedly funding Project Jonah are linked to "Abraham Accord" countries benefitting from "side deals" that pay them to recognize Israel.

I never pledged allegiance to the United States of Israel.


Crap like this VIAB helps me appreciate the Robert Gregory Bowers' of the world, so much more.
