Jews -- Zionism is fostered delusion of persecution that becomes
self-fullfilling prophecy


discussion thread:

Open letter to my countrymen who are Jews -- Zionism is fostered delusion of
persecution that becomes self-fullfilling prophecy -- and it is used by evil
men to bring cohesion to what otherwise you would choose to put behind you
(and I am not talking about blintzes and matzo balls)


Just as it is easier for people to generalize, sterotype, ascribe collective
guilt, fail to make just discriminations among sets, subsets and
ndividuals -- so to is it easier for the guardians of culture -- mothers
(guilty because they were not first born males and therefore second-class
and overcompensating in Jewish tradition boundness) , old people (with the
particular senile paranoia that the Jewish culture generates), the
professional "anti-anti-Semitism protection providers, like the ADL (who get
their donation checks depending on how dangerous they can portray the forces
of "anti-Jewish" hate to fat cats in Miami, Hollywood or Long Island); and
Israel itself, now run by a mob of thugs who sell the danger to Israel to
stay in power -- provoking hostility in every way possible (up to and
including the 9-11 false-flag mass-murder frame-up) to keep the donations
coming and prevent American Jews from quietly assimilating into American
culture -- and so they premote the persecution complex -- they promote
an ever-alienating Jewishness with all relations to all non-Isreal and
non-Jew merely an outer garment to be thrown off when things go bad ("and
don't worry we will make sure that they do etc.") -- and after the Six Days
War aggressiveness, combativeness, assertiveness with gusto, like the Macho
Israelis, automatic weapon over their shoulder, as their heroic ideal
tc. -- no longer the Hamlet intellectual types -- always anxious and
depressed as that unfortunate type also was -- but rather the successful
killer of everyone who "hates." And, yes, did I mention the rabbis -- need
to fan the "we-are-being-persecuted" flames to prevent the temples and
synagogues from emptying out -- as nothing unifies people to religion like
a threat.

I say my Jewish countrymen must get over this flaw in their cultural
conditioning -- because it has led them to supporting Sharon, to supporting
the not-so-very-well-kept-secret Zionist conspiracy of 9-11 where psychotic
men -- totally taken over by the syndrome I am describing -- actually
perpetrated 9-11 to provide occasion for aggressive combativness, and to
validate the persecution world view that holds this culture together --
preventing the assimilation that would really be best for everyone, in the
US and in what would have been wonderful to see -- a melting pot in
Palestine like Protestant and Catholic in the US and Jew and Christian in
the US (that is until ZIonists come along and mess it up.)

So have a Mazto and a blintz and think that one over.

Your friend (who is concerned about your condition and the harm you are
doing to others and to yourselves),

The real axis of evil

Monsters in our midst - the U.S., Britain, and Israel

By John Kaminski
sky...@comcast.net

Sometimes, after a long storm, the wind eventually blows the clouds
away, and the sunlight shines through, revealing a familiar landscape
that has never looked so different to us, which comes as a tragic and
emotional shock when we realize the time we've squandered refusing to
see the beauty right in front of us and the lives we've wasted believing
things that in this new light of day we now know for certain were not
true.

As I have said many times before in an inarticulate and unformed
way, the great tragedy of the 9/11/2001 debacle - in which thousands of
Americans lost their lives in a cynical stratagem designed to increase
the bloody profits of the weapons makers - was a failure to see how this
evil pattern of treason from within was actually the design template of
American political behavior throughout the 20th century.

First, by covert financial assistance followed by widespread
aspersion and calculated provocation, we create our desired enemy,
always with the ultimate aim of reaping fabulous profits from the sale
of weapons and the theft of resources down the line.

This design template realizes itself most recently in the creation
of Osama bin Laden and the so-called Muslim terror threat, which has now
culminated in the disaster in New York City and a schedule of endless
wars, now underway, that threatens to destroy the entire planet with its
spread of radioactivity and the reduction of all humans everywhere to
economic prisoners of this evil game.

Saddam Hussein as well was a creation of the American CIA, which
nourished him as a reliable, dual purpose lackey who when the time was
right could either be counted on to assist in the repression of those
from whom the Western tyrants wanted to steal, or morphed into an evil
villain who could then be conveniently destroyed, each course achieving
the same objective - total control of the hapless dupes in possession of
the coveted resources.

Though it's crystal clear now to many who realize that American
aggression throughout the world is always kindled from the devious minds
in Washington who put profit before principle, it is not so clear -
owing to the multi-layered media mindlock that forever keeps Americans
blocked from seeing objective political reality - how the U.S. has
accomplished and perfected this demonic practice of creating conflict as
a way to sustain its own affluence.

Again, the great tragedy of 9/11 is that people were afforded the
opportunity to look through a window at America's political behavior in
real life and in real time, but instead decided to look the other way.

America's corporate and financial leadership participated in the
formulation, execution and coverup of these fake foreign invaders for
the purpose of profit, much in the same way as Vietnam was created out
of fiction, as Nicaragua was oppressed based on propagandistic fairy
tales, and as hundreds of other foreign incursions were triggered by
public relations schemes emanating from Washington. This sorry lineage
goes all the way back (if not further) to the Spanish American War of
1898, in which an accidental (or perhaps self-inflicted) explosion in
Cuba led to the creation and worldwide ejaculation of what we now know
as the American war machine.

But the clearest - and most horrifying - glimpse connecting 9/11 to
America's past deceptions goes directly to World War II - the so-called
good war, which paralyzes the American psyche in a way no other event
has before or since.

Like all the other American military interventions overseas, World
War II was about reviving the American economy after a devastating
depression had reduced the vast majority of U.S. residents to painful
poverty.

Today, the object lesson of World War II manifests itself most
vividly in the obscene proliferation of Holocaust museums, which
constantly remind us that Jews were victims of Aryan genocide. It is a
perfect psychological cover for the one thread that connects all the
major wars of the 20th century.

Few people today remember the pivotal event of World War I, an event
known as the Balfour declaration. President Woodrow Wilson campaigned
for re-election in 1914 on a peace platform, and vowed to keep America
out of the Great War then consuming the European continent. After he was
re-elected however, he changed his mind. Why is a question that can be
traced to a single document.

England was losing the war, badly. In a letter to Lord Rothschild,
power behind the budding Zionist enterprise, Arthur Balfour promised
Britain would look favorably upon a plan to create a homeland in
Palestine for the Jews.

Suddenly, Wilson changed his mind. Some say it was because he was
blackmailed over a secret lover. Others insist it was his Jewish
handlers. Whatever the cause, many tens of thousands of Americans lost
their lives in World War I because of a promise by Britain to Zionists
to steal Palestine from its Arab inhabitants and create a Jewish
homeland.

Few people today remember the seminal causes of World War II,
either. After a demonstrably unfair settlement to conclude World War I
(some say engineered by Wilson's Jewish adviser, Colonel House)
depriving Germany of all its gold, Hitler came to power and resuscitated
the German economy at the very moment the entire rest of the world was
ravaged by a bank-created economic meltdown, now known as the Great
Depression.

Using a barter trade system that completely circumvented control of
the Jewish-dominated banking system (and getting help from American
quislings among whom were the ancestors of George W. Bush), Hitler made
Germany into an economic power when the rest of the Western world had
been reduced to poverty-stricken chaos.

Because of the unfair treatment Germany had received during the
creation of the Treaty of Versailles concluding World War I, and because
Jewish bankers engineered that ripoff, Hitler began systematically
stripping Jews of the their power in Germany. In 1933, world Jewry
declared economic war on Germany, a fact well-documented in the history
books. The move did little to curb Germany's economic success, as I say,
at the exact time America was suffering the dire consequences of its
Great Depression.

Further, Zionists worked out a deal with Hitler to not only fleece
Jews in Germany, but to help some of them emigrate to Palestine, but
only the Jews who Zionist officials deemed worthy to help start a new
Jewish state were eligible. The remainder of the Jews were abandoned by
the Zionist enterprise.

The epiphany that connects 9/11 to World War II is that there does
not exist any non-Jewish written evidence supporting the contention that
Hitler had a plan to exterminate Jews. It is true that once Hitler
realized in 1942 that the Zionists with whom he had a working
arrangement to help colonize Palestine had switched their allegiance to
the British that he began rounding up Jews with renewed zeal.

But there is no written evidence among German documents (and Germans
were and are notoriously meticulous record-keepers) that there was any
plan for what is now known as the Holocaust. Nor is there any hard,
non-Jewish evidence of so-called gas chambers. The Jews who did die -
certainly not 6 million - perished from either malnutrition or typhus.

Now, in many European countries, there are laws prohibiting anyone
from voicing these assertions. Freedom of speech around the world has
been killed by Zionist Jews.

In fact, the Holocaust industry (as it is known today) did not
really begin to capture the popular imagination until after the first
Kennedy assassination, almost 20 years after WW II ended.

Sad to say - and it will horrify many so-called conscious and
compassionate observers - but you can't clearly see the horrendous
deception forcefed to the world about Arab terror and the Muslim threat
without first seeing the colossal hoax of World War Two's so-called
Holocaust, which gives the architects of the Jewish homeland a free pass
to work their sinister strategies against the entire world.

And when you do see the Holohoax and 9/11 in the same wan light, you
can also see how the Soviet threat was fabricated in the late 1940s to
accelerate the profits of the arms makers. And possibly - if you
research it - you can understand how Wall Street funded Hitler and the
Bolshevik revolution was triggered by a batallion of Jews from Brooklyn.

Hitler, bin Laden, Saddam. Targets created by the Western powers to
reap huge profits from the sale of armaments and the robbery of
resources. The cost in innocent lives has never been a concern to those
who reap those profits, and is of no concern today.

This is what we should have realized two years ago when we watched
the rubble in downtown New York City being carted away and dispersed to
foreign countries before a proper forensic investigation could be
conducted.

Arabs in an Afghani cave (built with CIA money, by the way) could
not have dreamed up this complex a scheme, involving the deliberate
standdown of America's air defenses, the bribery of a plethora of
American officials who assisted in a very profitable manipulation of the
stock market, and the planting and endless regurgitation of the
fantastic fable by the Jewish media.

One fact about the so-called Arab hijackers that is rarely mentioned
nowadays is that they were shadowed during their entire flight school
follies by a complex network of Israeli "art students" who were quickly
spirited out of the country after the dirty deeds were done. Also, many
of the "hijackers" have been found alive, living comfortably in other
countries, and no attempt has been made by American authorities to
rectify this transparent error in the cynical cover story about 9/11.

Now, I am not so naive as to believe that naked power does not rule
this world. It has since the Assyrian war machine first massed its
phalanxes against the feckless villagers of the Fertile Crescent some
five millenia ago.

The sad part is that in 5,000 years later, human nature has not
evolved one iota, and in the very villages where Sargon and Nabonidus
and Xerxes once slaughtered innocent families simply trying to live
their lives, now two George Bushes have continued the same primitive
practice of killing without mercy in order to steal without conscience.

I am not so naive as to believe that if America, Britain and Israel
weren't busily trying to co-opt and prostitute all the nations of the
world, then somebody else would be attempting the same stunt. It still
doesn't make it right.

From our own so-called modern perspective, it was Britain that first
mastered this evil strategy, and built up an empire on which the sun
never set by claiming they were bringing civilization to unenlightened
regions, but really they were just smuggling drugs, opium, to be
precise.

Perhaps to be fair, the British learned this technique from the
Spanish, the Dutch, or the French, or the Romans, the Greeks or the
Persians.

The Americans simply copied the British model, but there exists
strong evidence that the U.S. didn't adopt this model until the Zionists
began to enter into the halls of public power at the end of the 19th
century.

Since that time, in what has been called the American century but
might better be termed - considering Einstein, Freud, and the New York
Times et al - the Jewish century, we have seen the continuation of mass
murder covered up by lies, of oppression masked as economic opportunity,
and of a so-called civilized society slaughtering innocent indigenents
for profit, and then sitting back smugly while praising their own
humanitarian self-satisfaction.

The real axis of evil (to borrow a phrase from a certain low IQ
politician who brays about his religion but has no real concept of its
principles, like Thou Shalt Not Kill) is the United States of America,
Great Britain, and the Jewish homeland.

The U.S. is the triggerman, which trumpets its hallowed legacy of
individual freedom as an excuse for depriving others around the world of
that very thing.

Britain is the architect, which perfected its colonial plan and then
exported it to America, and retained real wealth in a subterranean way
even as it pauperized its own people (something America is doing right
now).

Israel, the Jewish homeland, is the tumor that facilitates the
cancer's spreading, working its malevolent deceptions so greed triumphs
over compassion and survival is everything, even though because of that
philosophy the planet is dying, and so is every species on it.

It is wrong to blame Jews for inventing this kind of behavior,
because they have only copied it from the other tyrannies of history.
But with the sanction of their holy books, particularly the notorious
Sanhedrin, which approves of their lying and sanctifies the robbery and
killing of non-Jews with no penalty, we can all be sure that this
conscienceless behavior will not be corrected as long as Judaism exists.

There are other, lesser accomplices in this great crime, like
France, Australia and Japan, feigning fits of conscience while all the
while remaining alert for trickle-down largesse, like perverts dawdling
outside the brothel door, hoping for glimpses of flesh that will trigger
their pathological spasms of voyeuristic satisfaction.

Once upon a time, America had no real enemies, only friends wanting
to be just like us, a land of freedom and opportunity where everyone
could get a fresh start.

Now it comes to pass that America has no real friends, only
embittered former allies, resentful of the exploitation America has made
them suffer with its wars and its graft. Now they all want to destroy
us, and justifiably too.

In a way it's ironic. Now that America has revealed itself as a
killer nation eager to steal and plunder from every other nation on
earth, every other nation on earth still wants to be just like us.

This is the world we have wrought, and the dark future we have
charted for ourselves, as a result of the shrewd governance of the real
axis of evil, which is the U.S., Britain, and Israel.

My purpose in writing to Usenet group discussants is to share conclusive
evidence that no Boeing hit the Pentagon and that therefore 9-11 was a
frameup.

The photos of the attack, of the explosion, of the damage to the wall etc.
leaves no room for doubt.

Is there anyone on this list who still believes that the Boeing crashed at
the Pentagon.

Is there anyone who still questions whether the fact that the Boeing attack
was a staged deception proves the complicity of Pentagon leadership?

If so let him review that has already been established and convince himself
of the grim truth.

They don't work "for" al-Qa'ida. But they have learnt their own unique
version of history. Attack your enemies in the holy month of Ramadan. Learn
from the war in Algeria. And the war in Afghanistan. Learn the lessons of
America's "war on terror". Kill the leadership. You're with us or against
us, collaborator or patriot. That was the message of yesterday's bloodbath
in Baghdad.

The parasitic disease, leishmaniasis, occurs in two forms. The soldiers have
the milder form, which causes skin sores and is curable if promptly treated.
The other form of the disease -- believed to account for some reports of
Gulf War syndrome after that conflict in 1990-91 -- often causes fever,
weight loss and organ damage. It can be fatal, although symptoms do not
appear right away.

The weakness of the strong is that a disproportionate use of force against
the weak eventually corrupts their own society. The recent air attacks
against the Palestinians in Gaza, using helicopter gunships and F-16 fighter
aircraft and producing the inevitable "collateral damage," have actually
been a demonstration of Israeli weakness. The attacks led nowhere that the
majority of Israel's society wants to go. The daily newspaper Maariv
described the message they delivered: "Israel has gone mad." Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon claims to see blinding light at the end of the tunnel.
A "victory" over the terrorist infrastructure is only weeks away, and Israel
is about to be liberated from fear. He says the new Geneva draft
peace settlement, developed by former official Israeli and Palestinian
negotiators, is mere political plotting by disloyal Israelis, "encouraging
terrorism."

Duplicity at Home and Abroad
By: William A. Cook
Counterpunch.org* -

Tyranny in any guise, the medal bedecked uniform of the military dictator or
the meticulously pressed pin striped suit, steals the unalienable rights of
the citizen, and we have been robbed

http://www.iviews.com/Articles/articles.asp?ref=CP0310-2122

Have the American people capitulated to the manufactured fear fabricated by
Bush, Ashcroft and Ridge? Are we the sheep Churchill mocked when he said,
"Sheep don't need whipping"? Do we sit passively in front of our television
sets listening to lie after lie and do nothing, knowing now that these lies
sent American boys abroad as administration aggressors, yea, as unprovoked
invaders of a foreign land, as occupiers entrusted with securing the natural
resources of that land to be used to pay for the reconstruction caused by
the invasion? Had we known the truth would we have agreed to be the
mercenaries of the Cabal, to secure for them the millions they will accrue
from contracts paid for by our tax dollars while we suffer the indignity of
being labeled across the globe, "foot soldiers of the corporate elite"? Has
our state of complacency turned our Democracy into a "Corpocrisy," turned us
as well into corporate robots to be used at will by those who buy our
politicians?

Tyranny in any guise, the medal bedecked uniform of the military dictator or
the meticulously pressed pin striped suit, steals the unalienable rights of
the citizen, and we have been robbed! This administration assumed power; it
did not receive the consent of the governed. Its actions have not secured
the rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness; rather its actions
have fostered insecurity, restricted freedom, and cobbled the pursuit of
happiness. A review of this administration's abuses of power tells the tale,
and we need only reflect on a few of these abusive actions to prove the
case.

The peoples' freedom to authorize their government to go to war in their
name cannot be exercised correctly or legally if the arguments presented by
the administration have been fabricated to delude the people. Yet that is
exactly what this administration has done: it raised the specter of WMD
because it would "sell" to the public; it lied brazenly to the people about
the existence of nuclear weapons; and, perhaps the most insidious lie of
all, it gave the people reason to believe that Iraq participated in the
terror that brought death to 3000 Americans on 9/11. None of these purported
facts are true.

Nothing a government does has more lasting impact on its citizens than war.
To rouse a nation to pre-emptively invade another without provocation forces
on its citizens an implicit moral responsibility grounded in the belief that
the action is justified. Such justification did not exist; it was
manufactured by a group of men for their ulterior motives unknown to the
American people. The consequences have been devastating: American soldiers
die daily, the cost of the invasion mounts beyond comprehension, more than
7000 innocent Iraqi civilians have died, unrecorded thousands have been
maimed and injured, an estimated 30,000 conscripted Iraqi soldiers, many
young boys, have been killed, the cultural heritage decimated by bombs and
looting, streets, homes, hospitals, schools, water and energy plants
destroyed, horrendous unemployment, crime everywhere, and a people
distrustful of the Americans with many determined to throw out the occupiers
at any cost. The moral responsibility can no longer be couched in
justifiable terms; it becomes now a moral responsibility of restitution due
the Iraqi people. Yet, no one in this administration will take
responsibility for this turn of events; no one will pay the cost, only the
American soldier, only the soldier's family, only the taxpayer.

What protection of American life has this pre-emptive invasion secured for
our people? Prior to the invasion, no American woke in fear that an Iraqi
would cause them harm. Prior to the invasion, Iraq did not provide sanctuary
to terrorists. Prior to the invasion, Americans enjoyed the approbation and
sympathy of people throughout the world. Prior to the invasion, Americans
united in compassion and charity for those who had suffered the atrocity of
9/11. Now 135,000 soldiers wake to the imminence of death; now terrorists
flock to Iraq to foster the fanaticism that fuels terror; now Americans have
become the pariah of the world, the cause of the terrorism that we set out
to eradicate; now Americans stand divided not united as they contend with
the deception fostered by this administration. Rather than protecting
American life, the administration imperils American life around the globe.

That reality becomes the more frightening when we remember that the "war"
against Iraq became a threat just before the 2002 fall elections, announced
in September before the UN, the best time to "sell" a new product following
the August vacation break. The selling of Saddam's demise coincided not only
with the fall elections but also with the UN report on the inhumane
catastrophic conditions in Palestine and the second invasion of the
Palestinian refugee camp at Jenin. Iraq, as the administration knew all too
well, would dominate the news relieving the administration of responsibility
to intervene in the Israeli invasion just as it released Sharon from any
fetters Washington might impose on his savagery. The deception held until
Bush declared the aggression over in Iraq. In the interim, Bush took his
case to the UN.

The Arab world sat in disbelief as Mr. Bush went to the Security Council to
demand that Iraq comply with UN resolutions, condemning its inaction against
a nation that defies its resolutions while citing its irrelevance if it does
nothing. The duplicity of the administration's behavior was lost on America
but not on the rest of the world, for they knew that the continued Israeli
occupation of Palestinian land and the frightening power Israel wielded
against its powerless foe had full American support. Still Bush went to the
UN condemning Iraq. Iraq, Mr. Bush claimed, defied 16 UNSC resolutions; he
did not mention that Israel continues to defy 69. Iraq, he bellowed with
fingers crossed behind his back, has WMD including nuclear, biological and
chemical, a clear threat to peaceful nations; he did not mention that Israel
has nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and has threatened to use them.
Iraq, he cried, has invaded its neighbor, Kuwait; he did not mention that
Israel has occupied all but 22% of Palestinian land since 1967 and refuses
to return that land despite numerous UN resolutions demanding that it do so.
He pointed out that the UN has cited Saddam for human rights violations; he
did not mention that the UN has cited Israel for such violations over and
over since its founding in 1948.

But Bush duplicity does not end there. He condemns Arafat for support of
terrorist acts; he doesn't condemn Sharon for hurling $300,000 missiles into
crowded streets ostensibly to kill a person judged and condemned to death on
Sharon's say so without recourse to any legal process while 17 die and many
others are wounded, actions that even Israeli pilots have condemned. He
praises Israel as a democratic nation, the only one in the mid-east; but he
refuses to recognize the duly elected President of the PLO who garnered more
support from his people than the "elected" Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel
Sharon, did from his. He demands that Iraq draw up a constitution before it
receives full independence, yet Israel has had 50 years to draw up a
constitution and has not done so, but continues to be proclaimed a
democracy. He won't allow Iraq to have general elections fearing that the
Shite majority might win and design a theocratic form of government, yet he
says nothing about Israel and its Jewish citizenry that denies equal
citizenship to non-Jews. While the world, through its UN representatives,
drew up a resolution condemning the Israeli government's statements that it
would force Arafat out of Palestine or assassinate him, actions decidedly
opposed to democratic principles, Bush chided the UN for one-sidedness. Bush
calls upon the EU to freeze the assets of Hamas and condemn that
organization as a terrorist front, but he did not ask the EU to recognize as
terrorist supporters the right-wing Evangelical Zionist churches for
providing millions of dollars to the terrorist settlers in occupied
Palestine. This duplicity rouses anger, indeed, hatred against America, not
only in the Arab world, but also in Europe and Asia.

Some in America took heart when the administration appeared to balk at the
continued construction of the Israeli security "fence" that ostensibly
protects Israeli citizens even as it secures the future inclusion of Zionist
settlements that exist illegally in Palestine territory; perhaps this
concretion of duplicity would even wake the sleeping American public. But
the fence continues, a fence constructed of slabs of cement garnished with
barbed wire and electric currents, the kind of impediment used to corral
cattle and wild animals in zoos. And how does the administration demonstrate
its anger at thwarting the Commander's orders? By withholding millions in
the supplementary Israeli aid package, monies earmarked for years down the
road ensuring that nothing will impede the building of the wall. Avraham
Burg put it succinctly: "The Zionist revolution has always rested on two
pillars: a just path and an ethical leadership. Neither of those is
operative any longer It turns out that the 2000-year struggle for Jewish
survival comes down to a state of settlements, run by an amoral clique of
corrupt lawbreakers who are deaf both to their citizens and to their
enemies." (The Observer, 9/14/03)

Last March I spent time in Prague visiting the Jewish ghetto there. Walls
surround much of that ghetto even today, walls constructed by the
authorities when the Catholic Church through an edict of the Third Lateran
Council decided in 1179 that Catholics should not come in contact with Jews
who had resided in Prague since the 10th century, something like the
situation in Palestine where the indigenous population (say Palestinians),
lived since the 4th century CE. That edict resulted in the "ghettoizing" of
the district, forcing 7,000 Jews to be packed into a network of putrid,
squalid alleys where personal indignity rotted beneath the wall that
separated those in power from those imprisoned. Now we have a government
that acts in our name, like the Lateran Council deciding for Medieval
Catholics whom they shall meet with and whom they shall spurn, as it allows
and provides the money to a sordid regime in Israel to wall-in a population
in their own land even as that regime defies the world community by refusing
to give back the land to the indigenous people to whom it rightfully
belongs. America's absolute support for the Sharon government, despite the
terrorism it levels at the Palestinians, and its obvious belittlement of the
PLO, mocks the roadmap it proffers as a solution to the crisis. How can a
people so treated construct an "Israeli wall of humiliation"? How can an
American support a President who acquiesces to such degradation of a people?

Condoleezza Rice called the creation of a democratic government in Iraq "the
moral mission of our time." Yet she speaks as an advisor to a government
that manufactures policy out of politics, fabricates evidence from lies,
conjures reason from duplicitous acts, extols freedom of speech as it
maligns dissenters, lauds democracy as it illegally occupies a sovereign
state, decries terrorism as it supports the most savage terrorist regime in
the world, and she has the gall to overlook the need to create a democratic
government in America! This regime, this Bush regime, has failed the
American people. It is time we give our consent to those who govern us.
Sitting passively is no longer an option.

Mossad Canard Warmed Over
By Arnaud de Borchgrave
UPI Editor in Chief
Published 10/28/2003 9:46 AM


PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Mossad, the Israeli intelligence
service, organized the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in order "to
start a war between Muslims and Christians," according to the Chief Minister
of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province.

In an interview with United Press International, Chief Minister Akram Khan
Durrani, who heads his province's ruling coalition of six politico religious
parties, said he agreed with a colleague in the government of Baluchistan
who had blamed 9/11 on an Israeli conspiracy.

"It is inconceivable that a power like the United States, which has enormous
technological means at its disposal, would not know ahead of time what was
being planned," Durrani said, adding, "There must have been some local
people in America who were involved in the planning and execution" who "used
zealots (who) did not act on their own."

Hafiz Husain Ahmed Sharodi, a turbaned religious scholar who is the
provincial Information Minister in Baluchistan, where the religious alliance
shares power but still dominates the political landscape, said last week
9/11 was "a conspiracy by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad to start a
war between Muslims and Christians." Durrani said he did not disagree with
his Baluchi colleague.

The canard that Mossad and the CIA plotted the 9/11 terrorist attacks
against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon is widely believed in the
Muslim world. Even well educated Pakistani fundamentalists repeat as fact
the preposterous allegation that all the Jews working in the Twin Towers
were instructed to stay away from work.

The first prominent Pakistani to suggest a Mossad-CIA plot was retired Gen.
Hamid Gul, a former head of the country's Inter-Services Intelligence
agency. Within 10 days of 9/11, Gul, who acts as "strategic adviser" to the
religious alliance, told this reporter "the U.S. Air Force was also
involved."

For the past two weeks, Gul has been touring towns and villages in
Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the Afghan border. At
the request of the United States, and for the first time since independence
half a century ago, Pakistani troops have entered FATA to track down
resurgent Taliban and al-Qaida fighters who stage hit-and-run guerrilla
attacks in Afghanistan.

Durrani has slowly been establishing the sharia as the Islamic law of the
NWFP province, which shares a long border with Afghanistan. A public opinion
survey taken in NWFP in December 2001 indicated that over 80 percent male
adults in the province believed Osama Bin Laden was a "freedom fighter," not
a "terrorist."

Nine out of Taliban's top 10 leaders were "educated" at the "University for
the Education of Truth," a large madrassa (Koranic school) near Peshawar.
This madrassa is directed by Sami ul-Haq, a prominent member of the ruling
religious coalition.

Ranking former Taliban officials have long considered Peshawar and Quetta,
the capital of Baluchistan, as their second home. Durrani said the original
talibs (students) of the Taliban movement never numbered more than 1,000.

Asked if Taliban was staging a comeback in Afghanistan, Durrani said,
"America wanted to be the sole superpower and the defeat of the Soviet Union
in Afghanistan was the sine qua non of its quest. Then came Taliban in the
vacuum that followed the Soviet withdrawal. Taliban are not just students
from madrassas. They are the same jihadis (holy warriors) who chased the
Russians out. Many came from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries to
fight against the Russian invader. But when they tried to go home, they were
treated as criminals and terrorists. Some were barred from returning home
and others were sentenced to death or life imprisonment. So they returned to
the region where they knew they would be welcome."

Asked if he was suggesting that Taliban are for the most part foreigners,
Durrani said, "in the literal sense (they) were no more than 1,000 at the
outset. Later Taliban came to symbolize the entire Afghan nation. You might
ask where did Osama Bin Laden come from? Who brought him back to Afghanistan
after Sudan asked him to leave? The United States didn't seem too concerned
about him in 1996 when he decided to go to Afghanistan. Later America was
not interested in a negotiated solution. Imagine what the United States
could have done if it had devoted the money it spent on bombing
Afghanistan -- about $8 billion according to published reports -- to the
reconstruction of the country after two decades of warfare. That would have
been statesmanship of the highest order. Instead, you have chosen war and
occupation and now you are faced with an increasingly hostile population."

The Pakistani daily newspaper Nawa-e-Waqt carries a picture of Osama Bin
Laden every day on page three. Last week, it carried an "exclusive" story
datelined Baghdad that said 4,000 young Iraqi women had been raped by
American soldiers. Asked if he believed such a story, Durrani said, "it's an
excellent paper. The U.S. government knows how to cover up these things.
Your eyes are shut to so many things. Look at what is happening in
Guantanamo, which has been publicized by human rights organizations. Afghan
prisoners of war were caged like dangerous animals. This, too, was covered
up for a long time. Your reason for attacking Iraq was weapons of mass
destruction that did not exist. It is now obvious that the Bush government's
objective was Iraq's oil resources that will now be under American control."

Durrani firmly rejected the accusation that the NWFP's ruling coalition
comprises Taliban-like religious zealots. "We are true democrats," he
responded, "witness the way we conduct our policies in NWFP, in sharp
contrast to the military dictatorship at the center. We also advocate peace
with India over Kashmir; again witness the recent journey to New Delhi by
one of our three top leaders with an offering of peace. As a result, India
has responded with 12 confidence-building measures. The Holy (Koran) book
teaches us peace, love and cooperation."

News reports recently said the coalition workers had attacked movie theaters
and torn down billboards while police stood idly by. "That is not our
policy," said Durrani. "We are not closing down movie theaters. But a few
emotional zealots, acting on their own, did tear down some salacious
billboards. And the police who did not interfere were suspended. We
apologized on the floor of our provincial assembly and compensation was
voted for damage done. We also eliminated discrimination between the
coalition assembly members who were getting five million rupees ($83,300)
and the others who were getting one million rupees ($16,600). And the women
who were all at one million regardless of party affiliation are now also at
five million. We have promoted female education and female sports. So
Taliban is definitely not our cup of tea."

Asked what he thought of President Pervez Musharraf's pro-American policies,
Durrani said, "The people of Europe are against America's Iraqi policy and
the American people are also beginning to turn against the Bush government's
policies now that they realize WMDs were a hoax. That is why we (the
coalition) demand that Musharraf doff his uniform and compete as a civilian
politician. That would bring about an end to the military dictatorship."

The Chief Minister rejected charges that coalition was trying to hasten the
establishment of the sharia in NWFP. "We are leaning over backward to avoid
being accused of anything that might be seen as rash," he said. "First we
explain in detail to the people what we have in mind to make sure they agree
to the content and then we debate it in the provincial assembly where the
coalition has a majority, but where all other parties can express themselves
freely too."

Durrani concluded the interview by saying that a world with one superpower
"is very dangerous. There is no counterweight. Things were less dangerous
during the Cold War when we had two superpowers. The same applies in a
village that only has one elder. He could take unwise decisions with no
countervailing force. A village is much safer with two elders. So was the
world."

=======================

Let's assume that it WAS a smaller plane that hit the Pentagon. Why?

And we come back to the idea that it is extremely likely that a plane that
had onboard smart missile guidance system that can literally turn corners
and hit the target with such precision that it is amazing was used.

And we consider this carefully and the only answer that presents itself as
obvious is that of the necessity for precision.

And that leads us directly to the question of why such precision might be
necessary?

The question can only be answered logically by assuming PRECISION was
the major concern in the strike on the pentagon.

And theorizing that precision was a major concern - precision of the type
that can hit an exact window on a designated floor and do an exact and
designated amount of damage - we realize that LIMITING the damage to a
specific and pre-designated area was the major concern.

And if that was the major concern, then we arrive at the idea thatsuch
precision and limitation was essential for some reason.

And the only reason that we can come to is that they wanted to hit the
Pentagon for the emotional impact. Which leads to the idea that the
emotional response of the public to the "poor people in the pentagon" was
desirable. But since this emotional impact was achieved with such precision
and control suggests to us that it was also an
ALIBI. In short, the safety of CERTAIN occupants of the building was a
concern. Which leads to the idea that those certain occupants of the
building...

We notice that Newsweek coyly mentions that "On Sept. 10, NEWSWEEK has
learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans
for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns."

Did you have a look at the list of casualties in the pentagon itself? Where
were all the bigwigs in the building???? What about those guys who canceled
their travel plans and who were very likely IN THE BUILDING at the time? If
what we have theorized is true, it's not likely that they canceled their
travel plans because they might get on the wrong jet. I would be very
interested to know who those guys were.

IF we are dealing with a conspiracy - as has been suggested by many people -
designed to generate the emotional response from the masses of Americans so
as to facilitate the imposition of a One World Government - which is what IS
happening, by the way - then it is very likely that a number of the
conspirators were IN THE PENTAGON AT THE TIME IT WAS HIT.

You can be assured that hitting the pentagon would very likely be seen as
essential to divert attention AWAY from individuals within our own military
organizations as possible conspirators. Once you have a good handle on the
disinformation and COINTELPRO machines, you will understand why a strike
against the pentagon was important not only for the ALIBI, but for the
EMOTIONAL IMPACT on the public. After all, if the buildings that represent
not only our status in the world, but also our ability to maintain that
status - i.e. our military organization - are hit by terrorists, then the
emotional reaction of the people will naturally be that we not only have a
right to strike back with all our power, but also that we MUST. They will
also not look at the possibility of a "home conspiracy" because, after all,
the Pentagon WAS a target, right?!

Education: End to Mother of All Wars

It seems that the two recent wars were planned in order to secure the oil
and the resources of the Middle East. However it appears from media sources
too numerous to mention here, that despite the official ending of the wars
there is still violence on all sides, with many deaths and little or no
reconstruction in either Afghanistan or Iraq.

If what appears to be going on in Afghanistan (coalition and natives
subjected to murder, terror and great inconvenience, lack of infrastructure,
confusion of delegated leadership and the absence of effective law and
order, to a name just a few) is an indication of what will happen to
post-war Iraq, this mess looks like continuing into the foreseeable future.
It is clearly time for a different approach. Here is a suggestion, which may
not be as unthinkable as it might first appear.

A lot of affirmation has gone on since the beginning of the coalition war on
terror, the Afghan war and spilling over into the war on Iraq, regarding the
insistence that none of these wars are against the Muslims in the West or
elsewhere. President Bush and Prime Minister Blair have stressed that this
is not a war on Islam. One way of proving this is for the leader of the wars
to become a Muslim, and declare himself 'Amir' of Iraq. That way, any
Islamic opposition to the victorious coalition would be stilled, no further
call of resistance could occur against the new 'Muslim' conqueror, and there
would be no 'excuse' for a military jihad for the sake of self- defence of
the patriotic people within Iraq. There would be no reason for occupying
forces, or indeed anyone, anywhere, to fear Muslim 'revenge' or Islamic
military insurgence.
The war leaders, therefore, would do well to consider accepting Islam. This
would give them the legitimate right to rule and control all the oil and gas
reserves and facilities without opposition, and it is not a big demand to
say "la ilaha ilallah Muhammad Rasulullah" (there is only one God to be
worshipped and Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad are all messengers of the
Divine.) It costs not a single cent, nor a shiny new penny. It also makes
things easier for the Christians in that Jesus is going to come back to
establish God's rule on earth and do justice here, as the Muslims are
already waiting for this. If the war leaders make the compromise of
accepting Islam, this one gesture would dispel all hostilities between Islam
and the West.

One can envision, knowing the warmth, and easily forgiving nature of the
Iraqi people, that although their physical pain and loss from the war could
never be recompensed, a lot of the psychological and emotionally traumatic
pain which accompanied it, might be calmed by the embracing balm of an overt
effort to understand and respect them and their religion and way of life-
and a culture, we must not forget, which extends way back into the cradle of
time. Despite recent untoward publicity from certain quarters, these are not
an uncivilised people, and as everyone who knows an Iraqi will tell you,
each one has a humanity twinned with welcome if you knock first and wait to
be invited before entering.
Additionally, bearing in mind that the twin excuses for going to war with
Iraq, namely that Iraq had WMDs and the plan and capability to use them at
near lightning speed, and that they were dealing with anti-US terrorist
entities, fell flat when examined in the revealing light of day, becoming
the new Muslim governor would go far to winning hearts and minds all round.

This 'conqueror-becoming-Muslim pattern' indeed is not new. When the Mongols
came to sack Baghdad, long before the U.S. was a twinkle in the Founding
Fathers' eyes, they treated the place and the people with savage disrespect,
using mosques as horses' stables, colouring the rivers blood red, and
torching priceless Islamic books and books of knowledge, science and of
every scholarly material in libraries, universities and schools. At this
time of great learning, cultural development and scholastic achievement in
Baghdad, the invading Mongols consisted of uneducated uncivilised wild
tribes and they entered Muslim lands attacking them with brute force.
However, even this vandalising tactic did not work; Baghdad still stood.
Thereafter, however, the Mongols tasted the truth of the Islamic faith for
themselves opening their hearts and minds to education at the same time. On
their becoming Muslim, all hostilities with local Muslims ended and they
became the legitimate rulers of Islamic lands, their history becoming itself
a glorious Islamic history. They later produced great culture and became the
great Mughal rulers of India. Akbar was one of them.

The history of Islam also shows that even slaves who accepted Islam went on
to become rulers. For instance the Mamluks, originally slaves became
accepted as rulers in both Egypt and India. These examples historically
prove the tolerance and acceptance by Muslims of their rulers irrespective
of race, colour, origin or status; all Muslims are brothers and equal.
At the beginning of the Ottoman era, the Turks also faced resistance,
understandably being greeted first with hostility. But this all ended
immediately they declared their intentions to establish khalifa. They met
with cooperation and cheer which facilitated the growth and spread of their
power, and they found an empire forming around them. They succeeded in
establishing their rule over vast lands stretching all the way from Arabia,
China to almost all the lands of Islam, becoming the superpower of the then
world, a superpower to where European leaders were summoned.

This Turkish Ottoman Empire ruled the Muslim world for 600 years, a feat
hard to rival.
If the European, UK and American political and military leaderships consider
embracing Islam, which is a simple declaration about one God while also
accepting all the prophets including Abraham, Moses, Jesus with Muhammad as
the final messenger of God and the Qur'an as last testament, an effortless
transition will take place and power willingly exchanged, with cooperation
rather than active resentment. A side effect will be that countless numbers
of lives will be spared on all sides but the most significant thing to the
coalition will be that the keys to the world's treasures - which lie under
the soil of Muslim majorities, will effortlessly fall into the hands of the
present conquerors of Baghdad, with no danger of reprisal or objection.

There is no reason that the Muslims would not accept this scenario and they
would be obliged to accept any American or European Muslim as their leader
or ruler. Look around today at the small but growing number of American and
British Muslim scholars all of whom have complete acceptance and respect in
the eyes of the Muslim masses. Race, colour or origin have equal importance
in Islam.
In 1999 this writer wrote to Messrs. Bush and Blair inviting them to
consider accepting the Islamic faith. I hope they and all other western
political and other leaders will consider this proposal seriously this time
and accept this invitation.

On the arrival of holy Jesus, pbuh, everyone will acknowledge this one
universal and final faith. Our invitation is open to all mankind who wishes
to consider finding the final and absolute truth.

Secret 9/11 case before high court

The justices consider a petition for a case with no public record.
By Warren Richey | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

MIAMI - It's the case that doesn't exist. Even though two different federal
courts have conducted hearings and issued rulings, there has been no public
record of any action. No documents are available. No files. No lawyer is
allowed to speak about it. Period.


Yet this seemingly phantom case does exist - and is now headed to the US
Supreme Court in what could produce a significant test of a question as old
as the Star Chamber, abolished in 17th-century England: How far should a
policy of total secrecy extend into a system of justice?

Secrecy has been a key Bush administration weapon in the war on terrorism.
Attorney General John Ashcroft warns that mere tidbits of information that
seem innocuous about the massive Sept. 11 investigation could help Al Qaeda
carry out new attacks.

Yet this highly unusual petition to the high court arising from a Miami case
brings into sharp focus the tension between America's long tradition of open
courts and the need for security in times of national peril. At issue is
whether certain cases may be conducted entirely behind closed doors under a
secret arrangement among prosecutors, judges, and docket clerks.

While secret trial tactics have reportedly been used by federal prosecutors
to shield cooperating drug dealers, it's unclear whether the high court has
ever directly confronted the issue. But that may change if they take up MKB
v. Warden (No. 03-6747).

What's known about the case

This is among the first of the post-Sept. 11 terrorism cases to wend its way
to the nation's highest tribunal. There was no public record of its
existence, however, until the appeal was filed with the clerk of the US
Supreme Court.

A federal judge and a three-judge federal appeals-court panel have conducted
hearings and issued rulings. Yet lawyers and court personnel have been
ordered to remain silent.

"The entire dockets for this case and appeal, every entry on them, are
maintained privately, under seal, unavailable to the public," says a
partially censored 27-page petition asking the high court to hear the case.
"In the court of appeals, not just the filed documents and docket sheet are
sealed from public view, but also hidden is the essential fact that a legal
proceeding exists."

Despite the heavy secrecy, a brief docketing error led to a newspaper report
identifying MKB by name in March. The report said MKB is an Algerian waiter
in south Florida who was detained by immigration authorities and questioned
by the FBI.

MKB's legal status remains unclear, but it appears unlikely from court
documents that he is connected in any way to terrorism. He has been free
since March 2002 on a $10,000 bond.

The case is significant because it could force a close examination of
secrettactics that are apparently becoming increasingly common under
Attorney General Ashcroft. In September 2001, he ordered that all
deportation hearings with links to the Sept. 11 investigation be conducted
secretly. In addition, the Justice Department has acknowledged that at least
nine criminal cases related to the Sept. 11 investigation were being cloaked
in total secrecy.

MKB v. Warden is the first indication that the Justice Department is
extending its total secrecy policy to proceedings in federal courts dealing
with habeas corpus - that is, an individual's right to force the government
to justify his or her detention.

The case offers the Supreme Court an opportunity for the first time to spell
out whether such secret judicial proceedings violate constitutional
protections. It may also offer the first insight into how much deference a
majority of justices is willing to grant the government in areas where the
war on terrorism may tread upon fundamental American freedoms.

>From the perspective of news reporters and government watchdogs, the case
marks a potential turning point away from a long-held presumption that
judicial proceedings in the US are open to public scrutiny.

The case is one of several currently on petition to the high court dealing
with some aspect of the war on terror. Two cases relate to detainees at
Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and one challenges Yasser Hamdi's open-ended detention
as an enemy combatant. A fourth case seeks to force the Justice Department
to disclose the names of detainees caught up in antiterror investigations -
an issue closely related to the Miami habeas case.

Federal judges have the authority to order sensitive documents or even
entire hearings sealed from public view when disclosure might harm national
security. Such rulings are usually issued after the judge has explained the
need for secrecy in a decision available to the public.

In addition, judges can order that an individual be identified in public
court filings only by a pseudonym or by initials, as happened when the MKB
case arrived at the US Supreme Court.

What is highly unusual in MKB v. Warden is that lower court judges ordered
the entire case sealed from the start - preventing any mention of it to the
public.

'Abuse of discretion'?

In her petition to the court, Miami federal public defender Kathleen
Williams says the judges' actions authorizing the secrecy without any public
notice, public hearings, or public findings amount to "an abuse of
discretion" that requires corrective action by the justices.

"This habeas corpus case has been heard, appealed, and decided in complete
secrecy," Ms. Williams says in her petition.

A government response to the petition is due Nov. 5. It will mark the first
time the Justice Department has publicly acknowledged the existence of the
habeas corpus action. The justices are set to consider the case during their
Nov. 7 conference.

Justice Department officials have defended the blanket secrecy policy,
saying that public hearings and public dockets would undermine efforts to
recruit detainees as undercover operatives to infiltrate Al Qaeda cells in
the US. According to press reports, similar secret trial tactics have been
used by federal prosecutors to shield cooperating drug dealers from mention

THIS IS HOW RUMSFELD-WOLFOWITZ SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

A soldier with Fort Carson's 10th Special Forces Group has been charged with
cowardice for allegedly refusing to do his duty in Iraq.

Staff Sgt. Georg Pogany, 32, a Special Forces interrogator, is charged with
showing "cowardly conduct as a result of fear, in that he refused to perform
his duties," according to his charge sheet.

If convicted in a court-martial, the soldier faces prison time and a
dishonorable discharge. He was charged Oct. 14. His first court appearance
is Nov. 7 at Fort Carson.

A cowardice charge is extremely rare, military law experts say. Army
officials couldn't say Wednesday the last time it had been filed.

Pogany said he is wrongly charged.

The soldier said he experienced a "panic attack" after seeing the mangled
body of an Iraqi man and told his superior he was heading for a "nervous
breakdown."

After that, Pogany said he didn't request to go on missions nor did the unit
ask him to go.

Pogany said he asked for help but was denied the care soldiers with "combat
stress" are supposed to receive.

Instead of help, Pogany said, one of his superiors told him to "get his head
out of his ass and get with the program."

An Army psychologist in Iraq said Pogany had a normal reaction to seeing the
body and recommended rest and then a return to duty, the soldier said.

Instead, his commander ordered him back to Colorado Springs to face a
court-martial for "misbehavior before the enemy."

"I don't know how asking for help qualifies as misbehavior," Pogany said.

"Something happens, you ask for help and they throw the book at you and kick
you to the curb."

Army officials declined to talk about the case.

Pogany, an intelligence soldier with the group for two years, left for Iraq
on Sept. 26 from Fort Carson. He is not a Green Beret but was attached to a
team of Green Berets for this mission.

The unit was working on Sept. 29 out of Samarra, north of Baghdad, when
Pogany saw the body of an Iraqi man brought into the Army compound.

Soldiers on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle killed the Iraqi after he was spotted
shooting a rocket-propelled grenade, Pogany said.

Pogany had never seen anything like that. Shortly after, he said, he began
shaking, couldn't focus and kept throwing up his food.

Pogany said he was terrified he would be killed.

"Until you are faced with the chance you could die in two minutes, that an
RPG could come through the window when you are sleeping, you don't know how
you will react," he said.

Pogany said he told his team sergeant, a superior, that he was headed for a
"nervous breakdown."

The sergeant told him to "go away and think about what I was saying because
I was throwing my career away," Pogany said.

For the next day, Pogany said he was repeatedly told he had "one more chance
to redeem himself."

Superiors began threatening court-martial, he said.

His superiors labeled him a suicide risk, Pogany said. The soldier said he
never thought of suicide and wasn't a risk.

On Oct. 1, Pogany was sent to another base, where the 10th Special Forces
Group's higher headquarters is located.

While on that base, Pogany said he asked to talk to a chaplain, who
suggested he go to a Combat Stress Management Team. He said he referred
himself in for care.

He was examined by psychologist Capt. Marc Houck, who wrote in a report that
"the soldier reported signs and symptoms consistent with those of a normal
combat stress reaction."

He recommended Pogany rest for a day or so and receive stress coping skills.

Houck recommended that remaining with his unit would help Pogany's recovery.

Those steps are typical for a soldier who experiences combat stress, said
Col. Rene Robichaux, chief of the Department of Social Work at Brook Army
Medical Center in Texas, who wasn't speaking specifically about Pogany's
case.

Army psychologists are trained to let soldiers know their reactions are
normal, Robichaux said.

"It is appropriate to say, 'This is crazy over here. What you are doing and
everyone else is doing is bizarre. Being scared is not only normal, it is
life-saving. If you are not scared, there is something wrong."

Special Forces follows all the same programs as any Army unit, a spokesman
at Army Special Operations Command said.

Pogany said he returned to the 10th Group after he was examined, was ignored
for more than a day and then told he was being sent home to face charges.

The soldier said he had asked three times to stay in Iraq and work through
his problem.

Back in Colorado Springs, Pogany said he was ordered to see a psychologist
at Fort Carson, again as a suicide risk.

The psychologist wrote that Pogany was not a suicide risk and should be
returned to duty without any change.

Pogany said his security clearance has been pulled, and he is forbidden to
have a gun.

Pogany questioned what might happen if troubled soldiers are afraid to come
forward, noting the three soldiers who were accused of killing their wives
last year after coming home from in Afghanistan.

"What is tragic is the message they are sending," Pogany said.

US develops lethal new viruses, an extremely deadly form of mousepox

19:00 29 October 03
Exclusive from New Scientist Print Edition.

A scientist funded by the US government has deliberately created an
extremely deadly form of mousepox, a relative of the smallpox virus, through
genetic engineering.
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994318

The new virus kills all mice even if they have been given antiviral drugs as
well as a vaccine that would normally protect them.

The work has not stopped there. The cowpox virus, which infects a range of
animals including humans, has been genetically altered in a similar way.

The new virus, which is about to be tested on animals, should be lethal only
to mice, Mark Buller of the University of St Louis told New Scientist. He
says his work is necessary to explore what bioterrorists might do.

But the research brings closer the prospect of pox viruses that cause only
mild infections in humans being turned into diseases lethal even to people
who have been vaccinated.

And vaccines are currently our main defence against smallpox and its
relatives, such as the monkeypox that reached the US this year. Some
researchers think the latest research is risky and unnecessary.

"I have great concern about doing this in a pox virus that can cross
species," said Ian Ramshaw of the Australian National University in Canberra
on being told of Buller's work.

Ramshaw was a member of the team that accidentally discovered how to make
mousepox more deadly (New Scientist, 13 January 2001). But the modified
mousepox his team created was not as deadly as Buller's.

No rebound

Since then, Ramshaw told New Scientist, his team has also created more
deadly forms of mousepox, and has used the same method to engineer a more
deadly rabbitpox virus.

But this research revealed that the modified pox viruses are not contagious,
he says. That is good news in the sense that these viruses could not cause
ecological havoc by wiping out mouse or rabbit populations around the world
if they escaped from a lab.

However, this discovery also means some bioterrorists might be more tempted
to use the same trick to modify a pox virus that infects humans. Such a
disease, like anthrax, would infect only those directly exposed to it. It
would not spread around the world and rebound on the attackers. But there is
no guarantee that other pox viruses modified in a similar way would also be
non-contagious.

Ramshaw's team made its initial discovery while developing contraceptive
vaccines for sterilising mice and rabbits without killing them. The
researchers modified the mousepox virus by adding a gene for a natural
immunosuppressant called IL-4, expecting this would boost antibody
production.

Instead, the modified mousepox virus was far more lethal, killing 60 per
cent of vaccinated mice. The addition of IL-4 seems to switch off a key part
of the immune system called the cell-mediated response.

Maximised production

Now Buller has engineered a mousepox strain that kills 100 per cent of
vaccinated mice, even when they were also treated with the antiviral drug
cidofovir. A monoclonal antibody that mops up IL-4 did save some, however.

His team "optimised" the virus by placing the IL-4 gene in a different part
of the viral genome and adding a promoter sequence to maximise production of
the IL-4 protein, he told a biosecurity conference in Geneva last week.

Buller has also constructed a cowpox virus containing the mouse IL-4 gene,
which is about to be tested on mice at the US Army Medical Research
Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Cowpox infects people, but Buller says the IL-4 protein is species-specific
and would not affect the human immune system. The experiments are being done
at the second-highest level of biological containment.

Nine-eleven

Ramshaw says there is no reason to do the cowpox experiments, as his group's
work on rabbits has already shown the method works for other pox viruses.
While viruses containing mouse IL-4 should not be lethal to humans,
recombinant viruses can have unexpected effects, he says. "You'd hope the
combination remains mouse-specific."

Why his group's engineered viruses are not contagious is a mystery, he says.
It is not, for instance, because the host dies faster than usual, taking the
virus with it. But his findings could explain why pox viruses containing
IL-4 have never evolved naturally, even though the viruses frequently pick
up genes that affect their host's immunity.

Despite the concerns, work on lethal new pox viruses seems likely to
continue in the US. When members of the audience in Geneva questioned the
need for such experiments, an American voice in the back boomed out:
"Nine-eleven". There were murmurs of agreement.

Young Trotsky introduced by Israel Gelfand (a.k.a. Alexander Parvus) to

It was Jacob Schiff in New York and chairman of the Kuhn & Loeb bank, that
was financing the young Russian Jews who were being trained as
revolutionaries. Trotsky joined the French Free Masonic lodge, "Art et
Travail," where Lenin was also a member. The 18 year old Trotsky was at
first World Jewish Congress convened in Basel, Switzerland in 1897 where
the official Zionistic movement was born.

It was Parvus and Trotsky who organized the uprising in 1905, which is known
in Russia as "Bloody Sunday." The uprising failed, and both Parvus and
Trotsky were arrested and sentenced for deportation to Siberia. Both of
them fled. Parvus came to Turkey where he became an advisor to the "Young
Turks" who were responsible for the massacre of the Armenians (1915-1916.)
Trotsky ended up in Vienna, and later moved to Geneva, Switzerland. Here he
met and had long meetings with Chaim Weizmann, the founder of the Jewish
Zionistic Movement.

Now you understand the significance of the fact that the present-day
Neo-cons who control the Pentagon (Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Meyer,
Franks, Kissinger) are part of an intellectual group of Trotskyites who,
seeing that Reagan conservatism could not be stopped in 1980 became
"neo-conservatives" -- rats jumping the foundering "New Deal - Great
Society" for a healthier host -- and essentially by better organization,
powerful hidden connections, and ruthless dirty tricks took control of
Reagan from his old-right California backers and were positioned to take
over completely following Reagans assassination by a psychologically
programmed tool, John Hinkley. The assassination failed, yet still lost
power even as his sharp mind was reduced, as I suspect, by measured
poisoning.

Presidents either go along, are taken along, or are taken out and it is the
communist-Zionist conspiracy Trotskyism that is at war with this country.

9-11 was a black-op inside-job false-flag mass-murder frame-up planned and
executed by Neo-cons.

The evidence presented below conclusively establishes many times over that


9-11 was the work of Pentagon insiders Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Meyer, Perle,
Kissinger, Gingrich and Vice President Richard Cheney.

Masonic Power in the UK -- not just a another club

It is a fact that Freemasonry is being protected from its crimes by the UK
Establishment which has been described as being infested with Freemasons.
The UK public have no defence against any Establishment crime let alone
those being carried out by Masonic employees of the Establishment. It isalso
a fact that the Establishment claims that it is a protector of the public.
That alleged protection does not go so far as to protect the public from the
Establishment. An obvious ultimate target for criminal minds would be to
have the power and authority to ignore and hence sustain its own crimes. We
have that situation now in the matter of Freemasonry. It is not only a
Secret Society but also a Society with Secrets. Their members infest just
about every authority nationwide, so obtaining secrets and confidential
information withheld from the general public, is not a problem for them.
Masonic evil also extends even further and its involvement in the justice
system and medical profession should alarm most people who are aware of it.

Visit the link copied below and see more facts about the Masonic rise of
evil and why these people should be brought under public accountability as
soon as possible that being even for their own safety.

---------------------
The Rise Of Evil Continues.

Be it known that the UK does not have any independent and impartial
tribunals or authorities established by law for the resolution of their
civil and criminal rights. These tribunals or authorities are a requirement
under Article 6(1) of the European Human Rights Convention.

May it also be known that the UK has no authorities who will protect the UK
citizen from any crimes carried out against them by members of the
judiciary. Member of Parliament Mr Fraser Kemp learned of this fact when he
wrote to the Lord Chancellors Department, The Home Office, The Parliamentary
Commissioner and the Attorney General. When asked to raise this matter in
the House of Commons, Mr Kemp MP replied by letter that he is not permitted
to raise issues in the House. One of the number of questions now being asked
is for what are the UK public paying such high salaries to MP's such as Mr
Kemp for? Is he guilty by default in the furtherance of crime by failing to
pursue that matter for his own constituents interests along with those of
the general public?

The above rights of the UK citizen continue to be grossly ignored by the
present New Labour government. By failing to take action to provide
facilities to the UK citizen under Article 6(1) of the Convention they are
held to be guilty of crime by default. This, despite their promise of a
fairer Britain in the 1997 General Election.

1. "Just who is LaRouche?"

2. That Neo-Conservatives are all Jewish with mostly Trotksyite
intellectual roots and current agenda is significant data. Here's why it
must be discussed.


------------------------------------

"Just who is laRouche?"

He's an economist and a historian and was jailed by the US government as a
threat to the ruling class in this country. You might even want to elect
him our next President. He actually has raised more grassroot support than
most of the other candidates....but as a "persona non-grata" in Washington
DC, the press doesn't cover his campaign. Some people call him crazy.
Others say he's a sane man in an insane world.

Larouche has a rather focused and persistant angle that the ills of the
world stem from the corrupt British oligarchy.

Check out his Lyndon Lerouch's description of the Harriman, Prescott Bush,
Nazi connection:

>From a Schiller Institute conference (his wife runs it) in Bad Schwalbach
Germany, earlier this year.

http://larouchein2004.net/pages/speeches/2003/030323badsch.htm

"Go back to Germany 1928, 1933. We had in 1928 the fall of the Mueller
government, which was a reflection of an onrushing global financial crisis,
economic crisis, hitting Germany especially hard-- especially under foreign
domination of the Versailles powers. No one solved the problem.
Nineteen-thirty-one: There was an understanding of what the solution was,
but it wasn't implemented. It came to 1932- 33. You had a Chancellor, von
Schleicher, who under optimal conditions, could have been an effective
Chancellor to prevent the war. Why? Because Franklin Roosevelt had been
elected in November 1932, in the same period, approximately, that von
Schleicher was appointed Chancellor of Germany. If von Schleicher had not
been overthrown, then, he would have still been Chancellor at the time
that Roosevelt was actually inaugurated President of the United States in
March of 1933. So, had von Schleicher been the Chancellor of Germany in
March 1933, the United States, and Germany, would have been cooperating on
the policies, like those of Franklin Roosevelt internationally. There would
have been no world war.

What intervened was, that a group of forces, based on the former head of
the Bank of England, from Britain [Montagu Norman], and his partner, of the
Harriman family, and the grandfather of the present President of the United
States, Prescott Bush, moved the money, which was American-controlled
money, under British direction, to save the Nazi party and Hitler from
oblivion, which they had deserved at that point. Not only was the Nazi
party, and Hitler's position--Hitler was
thinking of suicide--not only were they saved from oblivion, but on the
28th of January 1933, von Schleicher was thrown out, under pressure on
Hindenburg, and Hitler became the Chancellor on the 30th of January."

More from LaRouche on the Harriman/Hitler connection:

http://larouchein2004.net/pages/questions/youth/030627ecs014.htm

"Question: Hello, I'm a recent graduate of Drexel University.
Recently, I read and hear comparisons made between pre-World War II
Germany, and events occurring in America, today. I would like to get your
thoughts on a similar topic: Earlier, you mentioned FDR. And, before you
arrived, we watched a taped speech, in which you discussed FDR, in more
depth. I would like to get your thoughts on how, after the Japanese attack,
FDR allowed the internment of thousands of American citizens of Japanese
descent; and comparatively, after the recent attack, there was a passage of
bills, such as the U.S.A. Patriot Act, that was railroaded through
Congress? Thank you.

LaRouche: Okay, well, look at the totality of the picture, from this.
There's a little-understood aspect of that part of history--the whole span,
leading up to today. You don't understand today's living history, now,
unless you understand the truth about that period of history: Coming out of
the Versailles system, which was a horror- show, you had a faction in
Europe, which then called itself the Synarchists, whose origins are traced
directly to Napoleon Bonaparte, and which became known as Fascists, with
the establishment of the Mussolini regime, by the French Synarchists.

These Synarchists were essentially a group of private bankers, typified by
Lazard--you know, the banking house Lazard, in France, which is now the key
bank in New York: Felix Rohatyn's bank. And Felix Rohatyn is one of the
chief officials, of the Democratic Leadership Council--my enemy. In other
words, we have fascist neo- conservatives, controlling the Democratic
National Committee, through the DLC. These fascists, who are controlling
the top of the Democratic Party organization, not necessarily the Democrats
in the Congre ss and so forth, but this part--are the same thing, as the
fascists associate with Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the neo- conservatives.
They're exactly the same people. And, there's more to that, but that
introduces the case. All right.

So, what we had, is, then, 1928-1933, we had a situation in the world,
especially in Europe, which was comparable to the international economic
situation today. The system of that time, which was the Versailles
financial-monetary system, was collapsing, was in a terminal phase of
systemic collapse, because of the way it was constructed. Just as now, the
present IMF monetary-financial system, is the stage of terminal collapse.

Now, under these circumstances, then as now, the same group of people,
called the Synarchists, then, and the Synarchists, now-- sometimes called
neo-conservatives--run by bankers from behind the scenes, some of the same
bankers behind Hitler, now, as then; and sometimes they're called
"socialists," "neo-conservatives," etc., etc.

What they said to themselves, is this: The financial system is going to
collapse. What we have in the United States, and in Germany at that time,
through a certain Wilhelm Lautenbach, a doctor of economics, who was one of
the leading economic thinkers of Germany, who in 1931, presented a report
on how to deal the Depression, through a program very much like that which
Roosevelt conducted from 1933 on. They said, "To avoid that danger, that
the general welfare principle will be applied by governments, to reform the
financial- monetary system, in order to reverse the effects of economic
depression," they said, "we have to stop that." "How do we stop that? With
dictatorship." "How do we create a dictatorship?" So, in that way, in
January 1933, through financing from the Harriman firm, in New York City,
under the direction of Montagu Norman, the former head of the Bank of
England--and Harriman was a member of the same firm as Montagu Norman,
which was called Brown Brothers Harriman, and the official, who did the
job, in this case, was Prescott Bush, the grandfather of the present
President of the United States. Prescott Bush, as an executive for
Harriman, on the instigation of Montagu Norman, moved money out of the U.S.
system, which was then the world's creditor for the Versailles debt; moved
it into Germany, to save the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler, which in December
of that year, was about to collapse, because they'd lost a major election.

Then, through this same operation, through Hjalmar Schacht, who was an
agent of Montagu Norman, backed by the Harriman firm, and by the
grandfather of the present President of the United States, the then- present
Chancellor of Germany was thrown out, through blackmailing of Hindenburg,
and Adolf Hitler, on Jan. 30, 1933 was appointed as Chancellor. He was then
considered a joke, because he had no real base in the population, and they
thought they'd be rid of him soon. But, then, on Feb. 27 of that same
year, a fire was set at the Reichstag. Like Sept. 11, 2001, this terrorist
event against the Reichstag was used to launch Hitler's dictatorship."

Here's another clip:

from
http://larouchein2004.net/pages/writings/2001/010303sdirevisited.htm

"It was Britain's one-time head of the Bank of England who, in concert with
his partners, including the grandfather, Prescott Bush, of the current U.S.
President, put Adolf Hitler into absolute power in Germany during the
1933-1934 interval. Originally, the British, who organized the "America
First!" movement in the U.S., intended to keep the U.S. out of the coming
war with Hitler. Their intention had been, that Hitler would deplete
Germany by a deep invasion of the Soviet Union, and that British and French
forces would then, while the German forces were so engaged, fall upon
Germany's western flank. In this way, London intended to avoid the
contingency of U.S. emergence as the dominant post-war power in Europe. It
was when London realized that Hitler would strike a détente with the Soviet
Union, in order to secure his rear for an attack upon France, that the
British howled for help from the U.S., dumping the putatively pro- Nazi
Edward VIII as a way of securing the U.S. alliance. The Bush family circles
are richly encumbered with the legacy of those U.S. Anglophile interests
which were involved in 1930s support of Hitler."

That Neo-Conservatives are Jewish with mostly Trotksyite intellectual roots
and current agenda is significant data. Here's why.

By Prof. Kevin MacDonald km...@csulb.edu

Over the last year, there's been a torrent of articles on neoconservatism
raising (usually implicitly) some vexing issues: Are neoconservatives
different from other conservatives? Is neoconservatism a Jewish movement?
Is it "anti-Semitic" to say so?

The dispute between the neocons and more traditional conservatives - "
paleoconservatives" - is especially important because the latter now find
themselves on the outside, looking in on the conservative power structure.

Hopefully, some of the venom has been taken out of this argument by the
remarkable recent article by neoconservative "godfather" Irving Kristol
("The Neoconservative Persuasion," Weekly Standard, August 25, 2003). With
commendable frankness, Kristol admitted that:

"the historical task and political purpose of neoconservatism would seem to
be this: to convert the Republican party, and American conservatism in
general, against their respective wills, into a new kind of conservative
politics suitable to governing a modern democracy."

And, equally frankly, Kristol eschewed any attempt to justify U.S. support
for Israel in terms of American national interest:

"[L]arge nations, whose identity is ideological, like the Soviet Union of
yesteryear and the United States of today, inevitably have ideological
interests in addition to more material concerns. That is why we feel it
necessary to defend Israel today, when its survival is threatened. No
complicated geopolitical calculations of national interest are necessary."

If the US is an "ideological" nation, this can only mean that the
motivations of neoconservative ideology are a legitimate subject of
intellectual inquiry. For example, it is certainly true that the neocons'
foreign policy fits well with a plausible version of Jewish interests, but
is arguably only tenuously related to the interests of the U.S. Also,
neocons oppose the isolationism of important sections of traditional
American conservatism. And neocon attitudes on issues like race and
immigration differ profoundly from those of traditional mainstream
conservatives - but resemble closely the common attitudes of the wider
American Jewish community.

Count me among those who accept that the Jewish commitment of leading
neoconservatives has become a critical influence on U.S. policies, and that
the effectiveness of the neoconservatives is greatly enhanced by their
alliance with the organized Jewish community. In my opinion, this
conclusion is based on solid data and reasonable inferences. But like any
other theory, of course, it is subject to reasoned discussion and disproof.

We shouldn't be surprised by the importance of ethnicity in human affairs.
Nor should we be intimidated by charges of anti-Semitism. We should be able
to discuss these issues openly and honestly. This is a practical matter,
not a moral one.

Ethnic politics in the U.S. are certainly not limited to Jewish activism.
They are an absolutely normal phenomenon throughout history and around the
world.
But for well over half a century, with rare exceptions, Jewish influence has
been off-limits for rational discussion. Now, however, as the U.S. acquires
an empire in the Middle East, this ban must inevitably fall away.

My views on these issues are shaped by my research on several other
influential Jewish-dominated intellectual and political movements, including
the Boasian school of anthropology, Freudian psychoanalysis, the Frankfurt
School of Social Research, Marxism and several other movements of the
radical left, as well
as the movement to change the ethnic balance of the United States by
allowing mass, non-traditional immigration.

My conclusion: Contemporary neoconservatism fits into the general pattern of
Jewish intellectual and political activism I have identified in my work.

I am not, of course, saying that all Jews, or even most Jews, supported
these movements. Nor did these movements work in concert: some were
intensely hostile to one another. I am saying, however, that the key
figures in these movements identified in some sense as Jews and viewed
their participation as in some sense advancing Jewish interests.

In all of the Jewish intellectual and political movements I studied, there
is a strong Jewish identity among the core figures. All center on
charismatic Jewish leaders-people such as Boas, Trotsky and Freud- who are
revered as messianic, god-like figures.

Neoconservatism's key founders trace their intellectual ancestry to the "New
York Intellectuals," a group that originated as followers of Trotskyite
theoretician Max Schactman in the 1930s and centered around influential
journals like Partisan Review and Commentary (which is in fact published by
the American Jewish Committee). In the case of neoconservatives, their
early identity as radical leftist disciples shifted as there began to be
evidence of anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union. Key figures in leading them
out of the political left
were philosopher Sydney Hook and Elliot Cohen, editor of Commentary. Such
men as Hook, Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Nathan Glazer and Seymour
Martin Lipset, were deeply concerned about anti-Semitism and other Jewish
issues. Many of them worked closely with Jewish activist organizations.
After the 1950s, they became increasingly disenchanted with leftism. Their
overriding concern was the welfare of Israel.

By the 1970s, the neocons were taking an aggressive stance against the
Soviet Union, which they saw as a bastion of anti-Semitism and opposition
to Israel. Richard Perle was the prime organizer of Congressional support
for the 1974 Jackson-Vanik Amendment which angered the Soviet Union by
linking bilateral trade issues to freedom of emigration, primarily of Jews
from the Soviet Union to Israel and the United States.

Current key leaders include an astonishing number of individuals well placed
to influence the Bush Administration: (Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle,
Douglas Feith, I. Lewis Libby, Elliott Abrams, John Bolton, David Wurmser,
Abram Shulsky), interlocking media and thinktankdom (Bill Kristol, Michael
Ledeen,
Stephen Bryen, John Podhoretz, Daniel Pipes), and the academic world
(Richard Pipes, Donald Kagan).

As the neoconservatives lost faith in radical leftism, several key neocons
became attracted to the writings of Leo Strauss, a classicist and political
philosopher at the University of Chicago. Strauss had a very strong Jewish
identity and viewed his philosophy as a means of ensuring Jewish survival in
the Diaspora. As he put it in a 1962 Hillel House lecture, later republished
in Leo Strauss: Political Philosopher and Jewish Thinker:

"I believe I can say, without any exaggeration, that since a very, very
early time the main theme of my reflections has been what is called the
'Jewish 'Question'."

Strauss has become a cult figure-the quintessential rabbinical guru with
devoted disciples.

While Strauss and his followers have come to be known as neoconservatives -
and have even claimed to be simply "conservatives"- there is nothing
conservative about their goals. This is most obviously the case in foreign
policy, where they are attempting to rearrange the entire Middle East in the
interests of Israel. But it is also the case with domestic policy, where
acceptance of rule by an aristocratic elite would require a complete
political transformation. Strauss believed that this aristocracy would be
compatible with Jewish interests.

Strauss notoriously described the need for an external exoteric language
directed at outsiders, and an internal esoteric language directed at ingroup
members. In other words, the masses had to be deceived.

But actually this is a general feature of the movements I have studied. They
invariably frame issues in language that appeals to non-Jews, rather than
explicitly in terms of Jewish interests. The most common rhetoric used by
Jewish intellectual and political movements has been the language of moral
universalism and the language of science-languages that appeal to the
educated elites of the modern Western world. But beneath the rhetoric it is
easy to find statements expressing the Jewish agendas of the principle
actors.

For example, anthropologists under the leadership of Boas viewed their
crusade against the concept of "race" as, in turn, combating anti-Semitism.
They also saw their theories as promoting the ideology of cultural
pluralism, which served perceived Jewish interests because the U.S. would be
seen as consisting of many co-equal cultures rather than as a European
Christian society.

Similarly, psychoanalysts commonly used their theories to portray
anti-Jewish attitudes as symptoms of psychiatric disorder.

Conversely, the earlier generation of American Jewish Trotskyites ignored
the horrors of the Soviet Union until the emergence there of state-sponsored
anti-Semitism.

Neoconservatives have certainly appealed to American patriotic platitudes in
advocating war throughout the Middle East-gushing about spreading American
democracy and freedom to the area, while leaving unmentioned their own
strong ethnic ties and family links to Israel.

Michael Lind has called attention to the neoconservatives' "odd bursts of
ideological enthusiasm for 'democracy'"- odd because these calls for
democracy and freedom throughout the Middle East are also coupled with
support for the Likud Party and other like-minded groups in Israel that are
driven by a vision
of an ethnocentric, expansionist Israel that, to outside observers at least,
bears an unmistakable (albeit unmentionable) resemblance to apartheid South
Africa.

These inconsistencies of the neoconservatives are not odd or surprising. The
Straussian idea is to achieve the aims of the elite ingroup by using
language designed for mass appeal. War for "democracy and freedom" sells
much better than a war explicitly aimed at achieving the foreign policy
goals of Israel.

Neoconservatives have responded to charges that their foreign policy has a
Jewish agenda by labeling any such analysis as "anti-Semitic." Similar
charges have been echoed by powerful activist Jewish organizations like the
ADL and the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

But at the very least, Jewish neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz, who were
deeply involved in pushing for the war in Iraq, should frankly discuss how
their close family and personal ties to Israel have affected their attitudes
on US foreign policy in the Middle East.

Wolfowitz, however, has refused to discuss this issue beyond terming such
suggestions "disgraceful."

A common argument is that neoconservatism is not Jewish because of the
presence of various non-Jews amongst their ranks.

But in fact, the ability to recruit prominent non-Jews, while nevertheless
maintaining a Jewish core and a commitment to Jewish interests, has been a
hallmark-perhaps the key hallmark-of influential Jewish intellectual and
political movements throughout the 20th century. Freud's commented famously
on the need for a non-Jew to represent psychoanalysis, a role played by
Ernest Jones and C. G. Jung. Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict were the public
face of Boasian anthropology. And, although Jews represented over half the
membership of both the Socialist Party and the Communist Party USA at
various times, neither party ever had Jews as presidential candidates and no
Jew held the top position in the Communist Party USA after 1929.

In all the Jewish intellectual and political movements I reviewed, non-Jews
have been accepted and given highly-visible roles. Today, those roles are
played most prominently by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld whose ties with
neoconservatives go back many years. It makes excellent psychological sense
to have the spokespeople for any movement resemble the people they are
trying to convince. In fact, neoconservatism is rather unusual in the
degree to which policy formulation - as opposed to implementation - is so
predominantly Jewish. Perhaps this reflects U.S. conditions in the late 20th
century.

All the Jewish intellectual and political movements I studied were typified
by a deep sense of orthodoxy-a sense of "us versus them." Dissenters are
expelled, usually amid character assassination and other recriminations.

This has certainly been a feature of the neocon movement. The classic recent
example of this "We vs. They" world is David Frum's attack on "unpatriotic
conservatives" as anti-Semites. Any conservative who opposes the Iraq war as
contrary to U.S. interests and who notes the pro-Israeli motivation of many
of the important players, is not to be argued with, but eradicated. "We turn
our backs on them." This is not the spirit out of which the Anglo-American
parliamentary tradition was developed, and in fact was not endorsed by other
non-Jewish pro-war conservatives.

Jewish intellectual and political movements have typically had ready access
to prestigious mainstream media channels, and this is certainly true for the
neocons. The anchoring by the Washington Post of the columns of Charles
Krauthammer and Robert Kagan and by the New York Times of William Safire's
illustrates this. But probably more important recently has been the
invariable summoning of neoconservatives to represent the "conservative"
line on the TV Networks. Is it unreasonable to suppose that this may be
somewhat influenced by the famously heavy Jewish role in these operations?

Immigration policy provides a valuable acid test for the proposition the
neoconservatism is actually a vehicle for perceived Jewish ethnic interests.
I believe I have been able to demonstrate that pro-immigration elements in
American public life have, for over a century, been largely led, funded,
energized and organized by the Jewish community [PDF file]. American Jews
have taken this line, with a few isolated exceptions, because they have
believed, as Leonard S. Glickman, president and CEO of the Hebrew Immigrant
Aid Society, has bluntly stated, "The more diverse American society is the
safer [Jews] are." Having run out of Russian Jews, the HIAS is now deeply
involved in recruiting refugees from Africa.

When, in the middle 1990s an immigration reform movement arose amongst
American conservatives, the reaction of the neoconservatives ranged from
cold to hostile. No positive voice was permitted on the Op-Ed page of the
Wall Street Journal, by then a neoconservative domain. (Perhaps
significantly, a more recent exception has been a relatively favorable
review of the anti-illegal immigration book Mexifornia- whose author, the
military historian Victor Davis Hanson, has distinguished himself by the
extreme hawkishness of his views on the Middle East.) The main vehicle of
immigration reform sentiment, National Review, once a bastion of traditional
conservative thought, was quite quickly captured by neoconservatives and
its opposition to immigration reduced to nominal.

Prior to the post-9/11 U.S. invasion of the Middle East, this suppression of
the immigration reform impulse among conservatives was probably the single
most important contribution of the neoconservatives to the course of U.S.
history. It may yet prove to be the most disastrous.

European intelligence sources have confirmed to Asia Times Online that well
before and during the US invasion on Iraq, Arabs, Afghans, Pakistanis and
other nationals had tried to reach Iraq, but that most were netted in Iran
and thrown into custody. Foreign volunteers, on the other hand, could enter
Iraq via bordering Saudi Arabia or Iran. The Saudi route, though, involves
an inhospitable desert crossing, and evading vigilant Saudi officials. A
more natural route for free-Iraq partisans, many of whom had fled
Afghanistan for the sanctuary of Pakistan border areas or Central Asian
tates, was via northern Iran. However, the Iranian border areas are well
monitored by the intelligence networks of the Kurdish security forces, and
crossing is difficult - as evidenced by the numbers caught. Yet US
authorities still tend to place the blame on al-Qaeda operators or the Ansar
al-Islam, a northern terrorist network. This has been to play down the
indigenous resistance movement in Iraq.It is clear that the resistance
movement draws it strength from the grassroots, especially tribal areas such
as Falluja, Ramadi and Khalidiya, from where the main human resources come,
funded by the treasury of the former regime, and armed by its extensive
arsenal.

The Zionist apologia for the billionaire- behind-bars in Russia (remember
this one the next time you
read about an unemployed Idaho logger who gets three years in prison for
stealing forty bucks from a convenience store):

"I have no doubt that Khodorkovsky (Jew) broke tax laws, and probably
plenty of other laws - Yukos once had a distinctly dirty, even murderous
reputation - but so has everybody else. If the Kremlin were arresting
businessmen for corruption, it would have plenty of candidates to choose
from. Why single out Khodorkovsky?" - Anne Applebaum, Sunday Telegraph
(UK)

We also learn that Khodorkovsky is a former activist in the Russian
Communist youth movement. So, is his arrest really just a sign that a
reanimated Communist KGB faction in the Kremlin is trying to reassert Soviet
control, or rather that a patriot movement has arisen in Russia that hews to
the hateful notion, that Russia's resources should be owned by the Russian
people, for their benefit?

The move against Khodorkovsky is a strike at the top of the international
Money Power phalanx. Khodorkovsky "appears regularly at the
'masters-of-the-universe' conferences that American CEOs throw for
themselves in mountain resorts every summer, where he is listened to with
the respect that rich men show for one of their brethren. In Washington,
where it is relatively cheap to buy goodwill, he has donated money to the
Library of Congress - which threw him an elegant reception last autumn - as
well as to just about every think-tank in town...He sees Henry Kissinger
when he is in New York, Jacob Rothschild when he is in London, and is
doubtless on first-name terms with
half a dozen American members of Congress..."

> Zionism's Impact on Palestine -- In the early 19th century, Palestine

Comment:

Charlie, like the legendary Golem itself your argument is made of mud. The
Ottoman Empire like the British Empire which was the Empire of the City of
London which was the Empire of the Merchant Bankers which was (is) the
Empire of the Creaters and Bankrollers of Zionism held down the aspirations
of all of the different peoples of the lands they controlled. I feel the
effects of the latter right now myself, btw. You say there was no one in
Palestine, that Palestine was empty and abandoned. Actually there were
Palestinians there, Moslem and Jewish, living under the oppressive
regulation of the Turk. They were getting along too, that is until Zionism
hit. And remember this -- Israel is what it is because Zionists engineered
world war on and world war two and both of those wars had as one of the
objectives of their creators the creation of a Zionist state in the holy
land. Hitler was bankrolled by Zionists and Krystalnacht persecution was
implimented to drive assimilated German Jews from Germany to Israel -- the
London, Zurich, New York Zionists did not seem to be bothered by that, and
even the German ZIonists may have thought Germany was no longer that great a
place after WWI and the deliberate hyperinflation theft of all German
middle-class savings by the victors. And of course, after Israel was
created it lived like a parasite off the United States.

By the way, did you know that 22 percent of Israel's rainfall comes from
weather modification -- not just seeding clouds but also diverting parcels
of wet air from other destinations by laying cloud that blocks sunlight from
warming land and sea surfaces creating higher than otherwise air pressure to
block and nudge circulating weather systems? An Isreali meteorologist gave
me that statistic. But of course this means that other lands must
experience drought in order to get the great miracle of Israeli agriculture.

Just the facts.

Footnotes:

The Rothschilds, through Milner, planned the Russian Revolution, and along
with Schiff (who gave $20 million), Sir George Buchanan, the Warburgs, the

Trotsky), William Boyce Thompson(a director of Chase National Bank, who
contributed $1 million), and Albert H. Wiggin(President of Chase National
Bank), helped finance it.

The Rockefellers had given their financial support after the Czar refused to
give them access to the Russian oil fields, which was already being pumped
by the Royal Dutch Co., which was owned by the Rothschilds and the Nobel
brothers, who was giving Standard Oil plenty of competition on the
international market. Even though John D. Rockefeller possessed $15,000,000
in bonds from the Royal Dutch Co. and Shell, rather than purchase stock to
get his foot in the door and indirectly profit, he helped to finance the
Revolution so that he would be able to get Standard Oil firmly established
in the country of Russia.

us, Charlie. Poor people try to get along with those around them as best

A Review by William Hughes of Lenni Brenner's book, "51 Documents: Zionist
Collaboration with the Nazis"
by William Hughes

http://baltimore.indymedia.org/newswire/display/5200/index.php
http://www.authorwilliamhughes.com/

History can be deceptive. It's fair to say that some of the sensational
never-published-before documents, in this book, will shock those who have
accepted Zionism and its supposed history, at face value, as a political
movement that was the hope of the Jews. Lenni Brenner, the intrepid author
of "Zionism in the Age of Dictators," reveals disturbing new evidence in
his latest effort, that suggest just the opposite. In fact, he makes a
compelling case that the Zionist record was "dishonorable." You can
consider this excellent tome as a worthy sequel to his first expose' on the
myopic Zionist zealots of that bygone era.

For openers, Brenner showed how the Zionists had a long history of
shameless cooperation with the Nazis, especially after the
dictator Adolph Hitler had came to power in 1933. The Zionists were also in
bed, to some extent, with the other members of what later became known as
WWII's "Axis of Evil," that included Benito Mussolini's Italy, and Tojo
Hideki's Japan. For example, on March 29,1936, Zionists praised Il Duce,
and his regime, at the opening of a maritime school, funded by the Fascist
government, at
Civitavecchia. This is where a Zionist youth group, the "Betar," trained
its sailors for the future Revisionist state. The speakers ignored the
fact that on Oct. 3, 1935, Italian troops had invaded Abyssinia.

On another front, the "Third Congress of the Jewish Community of the Far
East," was held in Jan., 1940, in Harbin, Manchuria, then reeling under a
brutal military occupation by the Japanese imperial forces. At that time,
too, Tokyo was already aligned with Hitler and Italy's Mussolini, in the
notorious Anti-Comintern Pact. Also, keep in mind, that the Japanese's
murderous "Rape of Nanking," had occurred in Dec., 1937, and the "Crystal
Night" incident on Nov. 9, 1938. Nevertheless, the Zionist confab went out
of its way to legitimize the Japanese occupation by certifying it as a
guarantor of the "equality of all citizens," in that beleaguered land.

The Zionist also had a trade plan with the Berlin government by which
German Jews could redeem their property in Nazi goods exported to then
British-occupied Palestine. And to top it all off, the infamous
SS-Hptscharf. Adolf Eichmann, had visited Palestine, in October, 1937, as
the guest of the Zionists. He also met, in Egypt, with Feivel Polkes, a
Zionist operative, whom Eichmann described as a "leading Haganah
functionary." The chain-smoking Polkes was also on the Nazis' payroll "as an
informer."

Brenner isn't the first writer to address the mostly taboo subject of how
the Zionist leadership cooperated with the Nazis. Rolf Hilberg's seminal
"The Destruction of European Jews"; Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem";
Ben Hecht's "Perfidy"; Edwin Black's "The Transfer Agreement"; Francis R.
Nicosia's "The Third Reich and the Palestine Question"; Rudolf Vrba and Alan
Bestic's "I Cannot Forgive"; and Rafael Medoff's "The Deadening Silence:
American Jews and the Holocaust," also dared, with varying public success.

After the Holocaust began in 1942, Eichmann dealt regularly with Dr. Rudolf
Kastner, a Hungarian Jew, whom he considered a "fanatical Zionist." Kastner
was later assassinated in Israel as a Nazi collaborator. At issue then,
however, was the bargaining over the eventual fate of Hungary's Jews, who
were slated for liquidation in the Nazi-run death camps. Eichmann said this
about Kastner, the Zionist representative, "I believe that [he] would have
sacrificed a thousand or a hundred thousand of his blood to achieve his
political goal. He was not interested in old Jews or those who had become
assimilated into Hungarian society. `You can have the others,' he would
say, `but let me have this group here.' And because Kastner rendered us a
great service by helping keep the deportation camps peaceful. I would let
his groups escape."

Readers, too, will be surprised to learn, that after the Nuremberg
Anti-Jewish Race Laws were enacted in Sept., 1935, that there were only two
flags that were permitted to be displayed in all of Nazi Germany. One was
Hitler's favorite, the Swastika. The other was
the blue and white banner of Zionism. The Zionists were also allowed to
publish their own newspaper. The reasons for this Reich-sponsored
favoritism was, according to the author: The Zionists and the Nazis had a
common interest, making German Jews emigrate to Palestine.

As early as June 21, 1933, the German Zionist Federation was sending a
secret memorandum to the Nazis, which said, in part:

"It is our opinion that an answer to the Jewish question truly satisfying
to the national state [German Reich] can be brought
about only with the collaboration of the Jewish movement that aims as a
social, cultural and moral renewal of Jewry- -indeed, that such a national
renewal must first create the decisive social and spiritual premises for all
solutions..."

Incredibly, Avraham Stern, the leader of the notorious "Stern Gang," late
in 1940, made a written proposal to Hitler, by which the Jewish militias in
Palestine, would fight on "Germany's side," in the war against England, in
exchange for the Nazis help in resolving the "Jewish Question" in Europe,
and their assistance in creating an "historic Jewish state." By this date,
German troops had already marched into Prague, invaded Poland, and had built
the first concentration camp at Auschwitz. The deranged Stern had further
bragged about how the Zionist organizations were "closely related to the
totalitarian movements of Europe in [their] ideology and structure." Stern's
obscene proposal was found in the German embassy, in Turkey, after WWII.

Finally, I think Brenner was right, when he wrote, "This book presents 51
historic documents to indict Zionism for repeated attempts to collaborate
with Adolf Hitler. The evidence, not I, will convince you of the truth of
this issue...Exposing the Zionist role in the [Nazi] era is part of the
scrutiny of the past, required of historians."

All of the above becomes even more important today in light of the critical
fact that it helps to subject Zionist Israel to the examination called for
by its crimes, past and present.

==============

But look at these financial families in American History too. We see the
same kind of ruthless disregard for common humanity -- taken from a letter
of mine about why I support Lyndon LaRouche despite Jeffersoniain objections
to his Hamiltonian viewpoint (which I will not explain here).

The American Revolution was fought against the policies of evil aristocracy
conducting centralized economic control for their own benefit --
essentially farming the human race for their own comfort and lordship of the
earth.

After the revolution British agent-of-influence organized the New England
Merchant families who were already linked to Britsih and Swiss banking
interests. These families had been corrupted by the British East India
Company by being given part of the British trade in African black slaves and
the Far East Opium trade. These corrupted New England families were allied
through family ties to the British Dutch financial interests (to motivate
this intuitively recall that New York City was formerly "New Amsterdam,"
recall also that today the largest company playing in Iraq is Royal Dutch
Shell, aka "Shell Oil" -- do you recall the Dutch sending any troops to die
in conquering and occupying Iraq?) -- and also to the powerful Swiss
banking interests (the Astor family, for example, were part of this
connection) and it was they who provided the Hessian mercenaries who fought
Washington in the revolution.) It was these families who helped finance the
British in the war of 1812 (e.g., Hartford Convention -- see Hane's
speeches in the Webster Hane debate.) Their treason discredited the
Federalist Party.

As one LaRouche publication states:

"The same New England and other families behind these corrupting
developments, the corrupted Congregationalists, Unitarians, and members of
either the Church of England or Church of Scotland, all allied to Burr's
blottings, were linked to corrupted families of New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and so forth, that consitute what has become known as the
"Liberal Eastern Establishment" around such offshoots of Lord Alfred
Milner's London Round Table and Chatham House, as the former,
Morgan-directed National Civic Federation, and the New York Council on
Foreign Relations. of today.

"The widespread exposure of the New England families' treasonous
financing of Britain's war against the United States, and the ruinous
depression of 1816-1818, sufficiently discredited those families' influence,
that a revival of the American System occured [here LaRouche says that the
revival was John Quincy Adams (played by Hannible Lector (forget the actors
name) in Speilberg's recent slave trade whitewash movie -- all Speilberg's
films have a propagandistic purpose) -- but of course, he is wrong and the
real heroes are Jackson and Calhoun, although they had personal and private
differences, they were both against the money interests and that
exploititive engine, the 2nd Bank of the US.]"

Here is some very revealing material that I cannot fault:

"The Boston crowd of the 1850's, which had gone from the East India
Company's slave trade into the profession of Abilition (of slavery), were
not actually opposed to black chattle slavery. Rather, as is documented
from correspondence of the 1850's and 1860's, this New England crowd was
complicit (with August Belmont) in a British plot to split the United
States into several squabbling, "balkanized" parts. (You people who want an
independent SOuth, an Independent Texas, and independent Wyoming, and a
Cascadia as break away countries -- take note of your treason and its
origins and purposes!!!] To thei purpose, the Boston abolitionists entered
into a conspiracy with the leaders of the future COnfederacy, making the
deals which elected Presidents Pierce and Buchanan in the elections of 1852
and 1856. Pierce and Buchanan armed the fututre Confederacy [I recall that
Jeff Davis was Secretary of War in these administrations, btw --DE] and
disarmed the fututre Union forces. [look at China and the US today -- who
is paying for CHina's strength -- with our industrial capital and with
proceeds in the form of laundered money for the international drug
trade --DE] ....

ANd after the Civil War, we had reconstruction -- very much like the
present occupation of Iraq -- and the Robber Barons and corrupt chipher
Presidents like U.S. Grant [think of Eisenhower and Wesely Clark as
representative of this type.]

More from the book by Alan Yue (executive Intelligence Review, 1983) I have
been quoting:

"President Grant's corruption by New York City financial interests made
possible the treasonous U.S. Specie Resumption Act of 1876, and act which
explicity violated Article I, Sections 8 and 9 of the US Federal
Constitution, placing U.S. public debt, public credit, and currency supply
under the dictate of the Bank of England. {Highly deflationary placement
upon the gold standard -- creating great economic turmoil and starving the
west of investment capital and even basic means of exchange -- I am with
LaRouche (and Yue) on this one! --DE] The British-led European financiers
grabbed U.S. railroads, industries, and prized minderal deposits and cattle
lands of the West at close-out prices, while cash-short Americans could only
stand by resentfully watching. Except under conditions of mobilization for
major wars, the United States has not been truely sovereign in respect of
its public debt, public credit, and issuance of lawful currency since. [I
may add that all of the vast "public lands" in the West -- kept from
development all this time -- have been held as collateral for this debt,
without telling the public about it, but rather making up stories about
conservation -- as phony and ulterior as the abolition movement of the
1840's and 50's -- DE]. Today, through the powers granted to a government
chartered but privately controlled Federal Reserve System, the
Anglo-Swiss-Venetian foreign rentier-financier interests exert a controlling
margin of influence over our nation's internal economic life."

That is enough of a sample. This shows that LaRouche is on the right side
and must be supported, because among the candidates, it is LaRouche and
LaROuche alone who acknowledges what the evidence establishes, that 9-11 was
a mass-murder black-op conducted by the same elite "rentier-financier
interests" -- who are also, btw, the original Zionist sponsors of Israel --
but I will not go into the history of the 20th century with you here.

I say every intelligent person of good will given the facts must conclude
that LaRouche is our only alternative to four more years of cfr-controlled
monolithic bi-partisanship in the pocket of these same "rentier-financier
interests."

After LaRouche is president, then a balance can be provided, by a
Jeffersonian movement to counter-balance the Hamiltonianism of the LaRouche
Democrats -- either within the Democratic Party -- or in some other way.

JEWISH MAFIA DOMINANCE IN THE CAPITALIST TAKEOVER OF TODAY'S RUSSIA

http://www.jcpa.org/jl/vp414.htm

The Role of Politics in Contemporary Anti-Semitism.

Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. September 15, 1999

"That Jewish Mafia control a disproportionately large share of the Russian
economy and Russian media certainly has some basis in fact. Between 50
and 80 percent of the Russian economy is said to be in Jewish hands,
with the influence of the five Jews among the eight individuals commonly
referred to as 'oligarchs' particularly conspicuous. (An oligarch is
understood to be a member of a small group that exercises control in a
government. The five oligarchs of Jewish descent are Boris Berezovsky,
Mikhail Friedman, Vladimir Gusinsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and Alexander
Smolensky. The other oligarchs are Vagit Alekperov, Vladimir Potanin,
and Rem Vyakhirev.) Perhaps the most famous (and simultaneously the most
infamous) of the oligarchs is Boris Berezovsky. In common with most of
the other Jewish oligarchs, Berezovsky controls industries in three
critical areas: the extraction and sale of a major natural resource,
such as oil, as a source of great wealth; a large bank (useful in
influencing industry and transferring assets abroad); and several major
media outlets (useful for exerting influence and attacking rivals). He
also controls a significant share of the Aeroflot airline and the Moscow
automobile industry." ...

Jews in Power or Jewish Power? The Captains of Russia's Post-Communist
Economy Invited Uneasy Questions,

[Jewish] Forward, September 13, 2002

http://www.forward.com/issues/2002/02.09.13/arts1.html

[Review of: The Oligarchs: Wealth and Power in the New Russia, by David
E. Hoffman], "Sometime during the autumn of 1996, a small group of the
most powerful men in Russia gathered in a villa on Moscow's Sparrow
Hills district and worried aloud about antisemitism. They were Russia's
famous 'oligarchs,' men who, in the aftermath of communism's fall, ran
banks, oil companies, television stations and, increasingly, the
country, and they had reason to worry: Most of them were Jews. 'In
earlier years, when the moguls gathered to talk or make deals, when they
dined in the villa on Sparrow Hills, or when they entered the Kremlin to
warn Yeltsin, they were largely hidden from public view,' writes former
Washington Post Moscow correspondent David E. Hoffman in his recent
book, 'The Oligarchs: Wealth and Power in the New Russia.' But in the
autumn of 1996, it was no longer possible to conceal their ambition and
their presence in the highest councils of the state. They worried, among
themselves, about a backlash. The threat of an antisemitic uprising
never materialized. The oligarchs, and Jews in general, are frequent
targets of the nationalist press, and extremist firebrands still
occasionally call out their names in public, but the Russian street has
yet to take up calls for their blood ... If the book has a flaw,
however, it is in not answering one of the central questions it raises:
Why is it, and what does it mean, that so many of these men - men who
ruthlessly acquired and manipulated Russia's resources and, for a time,
its government - are Jewish? Of the six main characters in the book,
four are Jews: Boris Berezovsky, now exiled and wanted at home for
corruption, who at one point owned everything from auto-makers and
airlines to banks and a TV network and earned the moniker 'Godfather of
the Kremlin'; Vladimir Gusinsky, banker turned media-magnate whose
quarrels with President Vladimir Putin sent him into exile; Alexander
Smolensky, perhaps Russia's most notorious banker, the collapse of whose
bank in 1998 wiped out thousands of people's savings, and Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, leader of Russia's second-biggest oil company, who
survived political scandals and the collapse of his own bank. The other
two - Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov and
reformist-politician-turned-energy-czar Anatoly Chubais - are not
Jewish, though that hasn't stopped nationalists from making accusations
about Jewish heritage. (The book's index, meanwhile, contains at least
another 25 prominent Russian Jews, including tycoons Roman Abramovich,
Pyotr Aven and Mikhail Friedman and politicians Yegor Gaidar, Boris
Nemtsov, Yury Skuratov and Bella Zlatkis.) They were, by and large, men
who learned early how to manipulate the system. Gusinsky bought copper
wire on the black market to make the bracelets that funded his first
fortune. Berezovsky did a brisk shuttle trade in German cars and Italian
computers. Khodorkovsky used connections in the Communist Youth League
to finagle lucrative software contracts ... . But by 1996, some of the
oligarchs were beginning to worry. Nationalist politicians on the left
and right were decrying what they called the theft of Russia's industry
and the 'oligarch Yids' who engineered it ... Between them, Berezovsky
and Gusinsky controlled the country's two biggest television stations,
the leading news radio station and several of the largest newspapers and
magazines. The fact was that the media in Russia was controlled by Jews;
antisemites didn't really care which Jews in particular. Even mainstream
politicians such as former Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin didn't
really like the idea; when Berezovsky and Gusinsky were embroiled in one
of their public quarrels, broadcast for all to see on their respective
television stations, Chernomyrdin said, 'Two Jews are fighting and the
whole country has to watch." For anyone familiar with Russian history,
the road from scandal to pogrom would have seemed perilously short.
Awareness of that history led the oligarchs in contradictory directions.
On that fall evening in Sparrow Hills, the attendees - Berezovsky,
Friedman, Gusinsky, Khodorkovsky and Smolensky - collectively decided
that masking their Jewish identities would be the best option. A
non-Jewish oligarch, Vladimir Potanin, was chosen to be their public
liaison to government. Berezovsky was soon seen wearing a cross and
attending Russian Orthodox churches. Still, no matter how hard they
tried to distance themselves from Judaism, until very recently a glance
at their passports would have given them away [i.e., Israeli passports].
And yet less than a year earlier Friedman had joined Gusinsky and a
handful of other prominent Jewish businessman in organizing the Russian
Jewish Congress. Outwardly, the congress's aim was that of any Jewish
group anywhere - to support synagogues, schools and other religious and
cultural activities. But, according to Boris Usherenko, a Russian actor
turned Jewish activist and journalist who documents his stint as the
first executive secretary of the Russian Jewish Congress in his
self-published book, 'My Jewish Fate,' fear of antisemitism also played
a part. At one of the congress's early planning sessions in late 1995,
Usherenko writes, the founders' purposes were bluntly, if awkwardly,
put. 'Fiery speeches were made. [Chief Rabbi Adolf Shayevich]
inspiringly contrasted the depressing past with the shining future.
[Gusinsky] expressed his nostalgia for the old rusty pipe he used as a
boy to beat antisemites. I remember [one attendee's] fierce defense of
his ideal - Jews with machine guns.' It was not, however, the first time
Jews were attacked for being at the vanguard of a tumultuous revolution.
Before and after 1917, nationalists pointed to the heavy Jewish presence
in the Bolshevik leadership, from Trotsky on down. Even today, Lenin's
guttural 'r' - the key element of what Russians refer to as 'the Jewish
accent' - is a running joke among Russian satirists; at least one of
Lenin's grandparents was Jewish, which, as the satirists point out,
would have made him eligible for aliya [immigration to Israel]."

AO Yukos Oil Co., Russia's second- largest oil producer ... Khodorkovsky
is one of the so-called oligarchs who took control of state assets after
the collapse of the Soviet Union and oversaw some of Russia's worst
violations of shareholder rights. Amid the country's financial crisis in
1998 and 1999, Khodorkovsky transferred stakes in Yukos subsidiaries to
off-shore tax havens like the Isle of Man and Cyprus."

THE MEN WHO REALLY RULE RUSSIA,

New Statesman, 08/28/98 "Boris Yeltsin's quixotic decision this week to
bring back the prime minister he so ignominiously dismissed just five
months ago makes him look like a modern-day tsar. But Kremlin
omnipotence is a myth and its governments a constitutional facade -- the
outgoing one has been aptly described as 'a virtual government'. The
truth about Russia is that it is ruled, not by Yeltsin or any of his
ministers, but by a handful of men with almost no formal political role:
the half-dozen businessmen who call themselves 'the oligarchs' ... Their
elder statesman is Boris Berezovsky, a mysterious
mathematician-turned-car-salesman-turned-financier, who is the only one
to occupy a state post, albeit a rather minor one. Three others head
conglomerates with businesses ranging from banking to oil: Vladimir
Potanin [of the 'oligarchs' here noted, only Potanin isn't Jewish], head
of the Interros group, Mikhail Khodorkovsky of the Rosprom empire, and
Mikhail Friedman of the Alfa group. Vladimir Gussinsky has a bank, too,
but his strength is his vast media kingdom. Aleksandr Smolensky, the
weakest of the gang, controls the huge but struggling SBSAgro retail
bank. With the exception of Berezovsky, who seems to relish the
limelight, all these men insist that they are humble businessmen, with
diverging interests and no direct purchase on the Kremlin. This has a
grain of truth: the oligarchs are not always united (indeed, their
quarrels have gone so far as to include allegations that two of them
once tried to have one another assassinated) and their influence over
the government waxes and wanes. But even with these qualifications, it
is striking to what extent Russia's oligarchs have grouped themselves
into a capitalist cabal beyond the wildest imaginings of the most
fevered Soviet propagandist. In times of crisis, like the current
financial meltdown, the oligarchs are ever at the state's elbow. Late in
the night on Sunday 16 August, as cabinet ministers put the frantic
final touches on the devaluation and default they would announce the
next day, the oligarchs flocked back from their Mediterranean holiday
homes to keep vigil in the White House, the seat of the Russian
government. A few days later, as I waited all afternoon for an interview
that never happened, I watched the oligarchs, en masse, troop from a
meeting with one deputy prime minister, to a meeting with another, to a
meeting with the prime minister himself. Collectively, they have been
conferring almost daily with the Central Bank chairman. And while the
financial turmoil has highlighted differences of opinion and of economic
interest among the oligarchs, they seem to have taken a conscious
decision to present the world with a common front ... This week three of
the most powerful corporate empires -- Interros, Rosprom and Most --
announced they would consolidate their troubled banking arms into a
single bank, to be owned and controlled equally by each member of the
troika. Certainly, the oligarchs carry all the visible symbols of their
quasi-ministerial status. Their sleek Mercedes and Land Cruisers all
sport the blue flashing lights and special licence plates that the state
issues to its highest officials, granting immunity from the traffic laws
and traffic jams which hem in lesser Muscovites. Russia's corporate
politburo had its economic genesis in 1995, with the loans-for-shares
privatisation scheme, a bizarre programme that transferred control of
some of Russia's choicest companies to a handful of corporate insiders
at knockdown prices. But it took the 1996 presidential elections to
elevate these barons into the nation's kingmakers. Less than six months
before the ballot, Yeltsin's campaign was being run by feuding and
corrupt Kremlin courtiers, and a communist victory seemed assured. But
then, after a late-night meeting in an Alpine restaurant during the
"businessmen's summit" -- the World Economic Forum conference in Davos,
Switzerland -- the oligarchs stepped in. They masterminded and
bankrolled Yeltsin's political comeback; they seconded their smartest
executives to work flailhme on the elections; and they transformed their
television stations into presidential propaganda machines. Their weekly
meetings which included a rollcall detailing who had spent what on the
president's behalf became the guiding force of Yeltsin's reelection
drive. By the time Yeltsin had beaten the odds and triumphed over his
communist opponent, the oligarchs had been born ... By choosing to
surrender the electoral process to the oligarchs in 1996, the Kremlin
created their political power."

[The Jewish Lobby's social engineering to veil popular recognition of
what is happening in Russia:]

ADL, Russian Law Enforcement Exchange Information, Anti-Defamation
League, November 13, 2002 "The Anti-Defamation League has established a
partnership with Russian militia officers, government officials,
educators and non-profit leaders through 'Climate of Trust' (COT), a
program aimed at fighting intolerance in the former Soviet Union through
hate and bias crime training. In August of this year, ADL leaders and
educators met with a Russian delegation during a weeklong visit to San
Francisco. The in-depth training included visits to police stations,
government buildings, courts, and non-profit agencies, where trainers
from the San Francisco Police Department, as well as the San Francisco
District Attorney's Office and ADL, spoke to participants about United
States law and the structure of our justice system. Following that
presentation, ADL shared its expertise and materials on combating hate
groups and extremists, and trainers from the A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE T
Institute demonstrated the need to educate children about bias and
encourage adults to look at their own prejudice. In turn, the Russian
delegation shared its efforts to combat and respond to acts of
xenophobia and intolerance ... COT is organized by the Bay Area Council
for Jewish Rescue and Renewal, BACJRR, and operates in cooperation with
the United States Department of State and the Russian Federation
government. Partners in this program include the Anti-Defamation League,
The San Francisco Police Department, the San Francisco District
attorney's office, as well as a San Francisco Superior Court Judge and
an Administrative Law Judge from the California Department of Fair
Employment & Housing. As a result of COT, new programs adapted from the
hate crimes and tolerance curriculum were established in a number of
Russian police academies and schools."

"World On Fire" by Amy Chua. A new book argues that when Third World
countries embrace democracy and free markets too quickly, ethnic hatred
and even genocide can result, by Michelle Goldberg,

Salon.com, Jan. 13, 2003

http://www.salon.com/books/review/2003/01/13/democracy/

"The case Amy Chua makes in 'World On Fire: How Exporting Free Market
Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability' is so clear and
persuasive it almost seems as if it had been obvious all along. Yet her
argument, that rapid switches to majoritarian rule and free-market
democracy in many Third World countries benefit certain ethnic groups
over others and lead to vicious sectarian strife, is quite new, if
occasionally overstated ... 'World On Fire' is about a phenomenon Chua
calls 'market-dominant minorities,' groups like the Chinese in Southeast
Asia, Jews in Russia, whites in Zimbabwe and Indians in East Africa and
Fiji. Market-dominant minorities control hugely disproportionate
percentages of their countries' resources ... Jews make up a similarly
tiny proportion of Russia's population, but of the seven 'oligarchs' who
control virtually all of the country's business, six are Jewish ... It's
enormously touchy to talk about the economic element of communal
violence, especially regarding Jews, since rhetoric about one ethnic
group exploiting another is so often a precursor to atrocity. But that's
exactly why Chua's book feels so urgent. No matter how politically
incorrect it is to talk about, her book makes clear that minority market
domination is a reality in much of the world, one that's tied up in many
ways with smoldering group hatreds and explosions of mass slaughter, and
one that's made worse by Western policies. Chua, a professor at Yale Law
School, is a careful, precise writer, and she makes it very clear that
she's not blaming prosperous ethnic groups for violence directed against
them, or blaming capitalism alone for fomenting genocide ... 'The point,
rather, is this,' she writes. 'In the numerous countries around the
world that have pervasive poverty and a market-dominant minority,
democracy and markets -- at least in the form in which they are
currently being promoted -- can proceed only in deep tension with each
other. In such conditions, the combined pursuit of free markets and
democratization has repeatedly catalyzed ethnic conflict in highly
predictable ways. This has been the sobering lesson of globalization in
the last twenty years' ... The reasons for Jewish economic success are
more mysterious -- especially in Russia, where they've been repeatedly
subjected to vicious pogroms -- and 'World On Fire' does little to
illuminate them. Chua is less interested in how minority groups come to
dominate than what happens when they do. She argues that when economic
liberalization and democracy are rapidly introduced to countries with
market-dominant minorities, the two forces necessarily come into
conflict. 'Markets concentrate enormous wealth in the hands of an
'outsider' minority, fomenting ethnic envy and hatred among often
chronically poor majorities,' she writes. 'Introducing democracy in
these circumstances does not transform voters into open-minded
cocitizens in a national community. Rather, the competition for votes
fosters the emergence of demagogues who scapegoat the resented minority
and foment active ethnonationalist movements demanding that the
country's wealth and identity be reclaimed by the 'true owners of the
nation.'" ...

Turning to the nearby new capitalist nation of Russia, in 1997 the
Washington Post noted that

"In last year's presidential campaign, two of the most powerful media
tycoons, Vladimir Gusinsky and Boris Berezovsky, played a key role in
reelecting President Boris Yeltsin, demonstrating the might of
television in the young democracy." [HOFFMAN, p. 12]

The Wall Street Journal noted that Gusinsky (also spelled Goussinsky)
"is sometimes billed as the richest man in Russia." [WALL ST, 4-13-95]
For his part, Berezovsky was listed by Forbes in 1997 as one of the "ten
top" billionaires in the world. Both Gusinsky and Berezovsky (originally
Abramovitch) are Jewish. Gusinsky is also the president of the Russian
Jewish Congress and his circle of international Jewish connections
includes the aforementioned Ronald Lauder and Edgar Bronfman of the
World Jewish Congress. A source told the Jewish Week that Gusinsky
founded the Russian Jewish Congress so his "physical well-being will no
longer be just [his] personal concern; it will be of international
[Jewish] interest," i.e., whatever he does, he can tap into the powerful
international Jewish defense mother lode against "anti-Semitism."
[COHLER-ESSES, p. 13] The Jerusalem Post notes that in Israel "media
reports [were] hinting" that Gusinsky "had ties to the Russian mafia."
[COHEN, A.] Gusinsky built his business empire from his Most Bank; the
Chairman of the Board of the Most Bank is Boris Hait who is also one of
the vice-presidents of the Russian Jewish Congress. Other
vice-presidents of the Jewish organization include Mikhail Friedman,
Chairman of the board of the Alpha Bank, and Vitali Malkin, President of
the Rossiiiski Kredit Bank.

Gusinsky's media empire includes NTV television -- the largest
commercial television station in Russia with an audience of 120 million.
It also broadcasts to Israel, and "recently [December 1997] unveiled
plans to expand its Russian-language broadcasts to Western Europe and
other parts of the Middle East." [KRICHEVSKY, p. 10] (Even in the New
York area, the Russian-language Russian Television Network is run by a
rabbi, president Mark Golub. Alexander Polovets, the editor and
publisher of Panorama, "the most influential Russian-language newspaper
in the United States," is also Jewish. [TUGEND, 10-22-99]). Gusinsky
also controls the Echo of Moscow radio station; a weekly magazine called
Itogi (published in partnership with Newsweek/The Washington Post); the
newspaper Segodnya; and NTV-Plus, a pay-per-view satellite network. In
1997, the Russian Orthodox patriarch, Alexei II, charging blasphemy,
declared that "God would punish those responsible" for screening Martin
Scorsese's film The Last Temptation of Christ on Mr. Gubinsky's
television channel. The program had been postponed twice "because of
Orthodox Christian fury." [MEEK, p. 1] With mind-boggling chutzpah, NTV
had originally planned to show the film "in April, on Russian Easter."
[KRICHEVSKY, Jewish-Owned, p. 9] Meanwhile, "at Gusinksi's influence,"
noted the Israeli newspaper Haaretz in 1998, "a synagogue and Holocaust
museum are now being built at the World War II Memorial site in Moscow."
[MILNER]

In 2001, the deputy head of the Russian Jewish Congress, Mikhail
Miralashvili was arrested in Russia and charged with kidnapping. "Mr.
Mirilashvili," noted London's Independent,

"who holds joint Israeli and Russian citizenship, was due to leave
Russia this week with the Israeli President, Moshe Katzav, who is on a
state visit. Mr. Mirlashvili is a director of the St. Petersburg company
Russian Video, which was bought by Media-Most, controlled by Mr.
Gusinsky, in 1997. Mr. Gusinsky was later accused of defrauding the
state by buying the company for $10 million -- well below its real
value." [COCKBURN, P., 1-25-01]

In July 1997, the Jewish Week reported that

"the Russian Jewish Congress, a powerful new group headed by one of
Russia's most prominent and controversial millionaires, has signed a
landmark agreement with American Jewry's top umbrella organization [the
Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations],
pledging joint cooperation and consultation ... The National Conference
on Soviet Jewry, another U.S. umbrella group that encompasses many of
the same Jewish organizational members as the Presidents Conference, was
also a signatory.... Some, including a top Russian Jewish Congress
official, says it marks a milestone in the emergence of the Russian
group as an influential diaspora player on the international stage ...
In a separate initiative, the Russian Jewish Congress signed an
agreement at about the same time with the World Jewish Congress..."
[COHLER-ESSES, Lawyer, p. 9]

(A note about the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish
Organizations: It represents, notes Jewish journalist Wolf Blitzer,
"more than thirty of the most important national Jewish organizations;
it has come to be viewed as the authoritative voice of the mainstream
Jewish leadership ... Because the Presidents' Conference, like AIPAC
[the leading American Jewish Israel lobbying organization], can almost

always be found in support of the official Israeli position, U.S.
officials in all recent administrations have to view it as a de facto
arm of the Israeli government." [BLITZER, p. 141-142])

Gusinsky also met with a number of Jewish American Congressmen,
including Carl Lewin, Frank Lautenberg, Joseph Lieberman, and Arlen
Specter. "The Middle East and 'rising anti-Semitism' were among the
topics discussed," noted Don Bonker ("a former Congressman who handles
public relations for Goussinsky in Washington"). [COHLER-ESSES, US
RUSSIAN, p. 1] The Jewish Week further noted that "according to a Jewish
official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, Goussinsky's efforts
to meet with top State Department officials were rebuffed due to what
one State official ; as his 'checkered past.'" [COHLER-ESSES,
US-RUSSIAN, p. 1] In 2000, Gusinsky, who, like other Rusisan Jewish
media moguls, has dual Russian-Israeli citizenship, fled Russia after
accusations of fraud. In October, related to the Gusinsky criminal
investigation, Russian police raided the central Moscow synagogue,
searching "practically everything," but particularly looking for "in
what way was the Jewish community ... laundering money it was receiving
from its sponsors." Alexander Osovtsov, Executive Vice President of the
Russian Jewish Congress, complained: "What gives special cynicism to it
is the fact that the action was undertaken on the single day when the
leaders of the Congress and the Jewish community were absent from Moscow
because they were on a one-day visit of peace and solidarity to Israel."
[INTERFAX RUSSIAN NEWS, 10-20-00]

Boris Berezovsky's riches began with Logovaz, a car dealership. He has
since rapidly gained control of the Russian Public Television network,
known as ORT; the newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta; the weekly magazine
Ogonyok; Transero, a Russian airline; and 80% of Russia's seventh
largest oil company, which merged in 1998 with another Jewish-owned oil
firm (together called Yuksi), to create "the world's largest oil company
in terms of reserves." [MCMAHON, p. 3] "Berezovsky," says the Wall
Street Journal, "has a reputation for labyrinthine political and
business intrigues and has in the past exercised influence over Russian
companies, including the national airline Aeroflot, without taking over
formal ownership." [HIGGINS, p. 2]

"Like many of the people in Russia who became rich very fast," notes the
New York Times, "Mr. Berezovsky has been the subject of numerous press
reports that suggest he relied on organized crime to build his business
empire." [STANLEY, p. A3] Berezovsky, notes the Washington Post, "is
part of a tight circle of financiers and business moguls who, by his own
estimate, control half of Russia's economy ... [HOFFMAN, Russia]. ...
They all attained wealth in the violent, corruption-ridden, high-stakes
competition that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union five years
ago.... The scramble for wealth and power was carried out with brutal
means, often including car bombs and assassinations.... Russian tycoons
are not public heroes. Popular resentments run deep over the vast
sell-off of state property, which made many of them rich and left
millions of Russians in poverty." [HOFFMAN, p. A26] Berezovsky, notes
the (Jewish) Forward, is one of the "robber barons accused of milking
Russians dry." [BLUSTAIN, p. 1]

In 1999 Berezovsky gained control of Moscow's popular TV-6 television
station. That same year he claimed control of "Russia's premiere daily
newspaper, Kommersant," and fired its editor, Raf Shakirov, who said
that "his ouster [is] an attempt to curb often critical coverage of the
tycoon's business and political activities." [HIGGINS, p. 2]

In December 1996, Forbes magazine published a scathing article about
Berezovsky (making sure such reports will be few and far between, the
multi-billionaire responded by punishing the magazine with a suit for
libel, as did the other Jewish tycoon giant, Vladmir Gusinsky, against
the Wall Street Journal for an unflattering report about him). [WALL ST
JRNL, 4-13-95] The Forbes article, entitled "The Godfather of the
Kremlin," was printed with no byline for fear of violent retribution to
its authors. "Berezovsky," noted the magazine's editor, James Michaels,
"stands tall as one of the most powerful men in Russia. Behind him lies
a trail of corpses, uncollected debts and competitors terrified for
their lives." [MICHEALS, p. 10]

The anonymously written article in Forbes notes that

"Assassination is a tool of business competition. Scores of business
leaders and media personalities have been killed ... Berezovsky controls
Russia's biggest national TV network. His control was solidified shortly
after the first chairman of the network was assassinated gangland style.
Berezovsky was immediately fingered by the police as a key suspect, but
the murder remains unsolved two years later ... Such is the Russian
business environment today that the men at the top have use for the
shadowy army of killers and thugs who work further down in the scale of
corruption, running prostitute and protection rackets." [FORBES, p. 91,
92]

In 1995 Vladislav Listiev, one of Russia's most popular television talk
show hosts, was named head of the Russian Public Television network
(ORT). One of his major efforts was to rid the station of the corrupt,
monopolistic advertising empire of a man named Sergei Lisovsky. The
Forbes article suggests that Berezovsky was involved in Listiev's
eventual assassination, and when Berezovsky ended up with a controlling
interest in ORT (36%), he retained Livosky as the only agent for the
company's advertising.

Incredibly, in 1996 Berezovsky vast wealth and power afforded him the
opportunity to become a member of the Kremlin Security Council, a
position that meant access to some of the Russian government's most
sensitive national secrets. He was soon embroiled in a scandal over his
national allegiance when the liberal newspaper Izvestia publicized the
fact that Berezovsky had secured Israeli citizenship in 1994. Berezovsky
threatened to sue the newspaper, charging anti-Semitism. [SHALAPENTOKH,
p. 19] (Meanwhile, the ruthless baron publicly declares he is a convert
to Christianity). [KRICHEVSKY, L., 5-23-99]

A year later Fortune magazine ran an article entitled "Russia's Robber
Barons," profiling ten of the most important Russian business tycoons
who have catapulted to economic dominance in Russia with the collapse of
communism; these included Gusinsky, Berezovsky, Boris Hait, Mikhail
Friedman, Vladimir Vinogradov, Vladimir Potanin, Mikhail Khodorkovsky,
Alexander Smolensky, and Pyotr Aven.

Along with Gusinsky and Berezovsky, not only are Hait and Friedman
Jewish, they are, as noted earlier, vice-presidents under Gusinsky in
the Russian Jewish Congress. Khodorovsky, the President of Bank Menatep
(and, curiously, the former Deputy Secretary of the Moscow Branch of the
Communist Party youth branch) is also Jewish. (Khodorovsky's ability to
make ideological U-turns on a dime somewhat echoes the latent wheeling
and dealing of Leonid Roitman, whose "meteoric rise to power was fueled
by the chaos of post-pestroika Russia." In his earlier years, under the
communist regime, says the Jerusalem Post, Roitman set up "an
organization called Hatehiya, which taught summer camps for Jewish
youth. In a brilliant move, he registered Hatehiya as part of Komosol,
the Communist Youth movement, and it rapidly became 'one of the largest
and strongest organizations in Russia.'" [HECHT, p. 12]]

Continuing the Fortune list, Pyotr Aren, of the Alpha financial group,
is also Jewish. Smolensky, president of Stolichny Bank and Vinogradov,
head of Inkombank, are also -- according to a B'nai B'rith publication
-- "believed to be Jews." [BERNSTEIN, RUSSIA'S, p. 12] (Many Jews in
Eastern Europe publicly hide this fact of their identity). Of this group
of economic dominators, that leaves only Potanin who is not Jewish (in a
country where today less than half of 1% of the Russian population is
Jewish [BERNSTEIN, p. 12]), but he has had American Jewish billionaire
George Soros as a major backer in some of his deals, including the
takeover of Russia's Svyazinvest telecommunications giant. (Soros has
"invested around $2.5 billion in Russia, more than anyone or any
institution." [BROWNING, p. F2]

"Soros's extraordinary role," noted the (London) Guardian in 1994, "not
only as the world's most successful investor but now possibly,
fantastically, as the single most powerful foreign influence in the
whole of the former Soviet empire, attracts more suspicion than
curiosity." [LEWIS, M., p. 14] "I have been a prime target for the
current version of anti-Semitic conspiracy theory," notes Soros himself,
"If there was ever a man who fit the stereotype of the Judeo-plutocratic
Bolshevik Zionist world conspirator, it is me. And that is, in fact, how
I am increasingly depicted in Eastern Europe and also to some extent in
Western Europe, but not so much in America." [SOROS, p. 239])

The above ten Russians, notes the Fortune piece, "dominate the country's
trade in arms and precious metals, as well as its production of copper,
nickel, and a quarter of its oil. They control the No. 1 and No. 3
television networks, the Visa bankcard network, a big chunk of the pulp
and paper industry, and an increasing portion of the food processing
industry ... Princeton professor Stephen Cohen, writing in the Nation,
dubbed [most of today's Russian business elite] a 'semi-criminalized
oligarchy' that has made ordinary Russians 'suffer unduly and
unjustly.'" [MELLOW, p. 120] Berezovsky has publicly bragged that he,
Gusinsky, Khodorovsky, Aren, Friedman, Smolensky, and Potanin control
half of Russia's wealth. [BERSTEIN, p. 12]

As Jewish scholar Betsy Gidwitz noted in 1999:

"That Jews control a disproportionately large share of the Russian
economy and Russian media certainly has some basis in fact. Between 50
and 80 percent of the Russian economy is said to be in Jewish hands,
with the influence of the five Jews among the eight individuals commonly
referred to as "oligarchs" particularly conspicuous. (An oligarch is
understood to be a member of a small group that exercises control in a
government. The five oligarchs of Jewish descent are Boris Berezovsky,
Mikhail Friedman, Vladimir Gusinsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and Alexander
Smolensky. The other oligarchs are Vagit Alekperov, Vladimir Potanin,
and Rem Vyakhirev.) Perhaps the most famous (and simultaneously the most
infamous) of the oligarchs is Boris Berezovsky. In common with most of
the other Jewish oligarchs, Berezovsky controls industries in three
critical areas: the extraction and sale of a major natural resource,
such as oil, as a source of great wealth; a large bank (useful in
influencing industry and transferring assets abroad); and several major
media outlets (useful for exerting influence and attacking rivals). He
alsocontrols a significant share of the Aeroflot airline and the Moscow
automobile industry." [GIDWITZ, B., 9-15-99]

A 1999 Wall Street Journal editorial notes that disturbing situation in
today's Russia:

"Russia's oligarchs -- many of them apparatchiks from the communist days
-- have stripped the country's best assets and transferred their
winnings to off-shore companies they control ... For every dollar a
Russian has laundered abroad there had to be a counterparty at the other
end. London, Geneva, and New York are preferred destinations, as well as
off-shore havens such as Cyprus and New Jersey. Estimates of $10 billion
capital flight from Russia each year are probably conservative." [W S J,
8-30-99, p. 8]

By 1998, the foreign minister of Russia was Yevgeni Primakov. His real
last name -- Finkelstein -- was dropped when he worked for the KGB. Also
that year, Sergio Kiriyenko became the prime minister of Russia. He too
is Jewish. [SAFIRE, p. 6] Primatov later succeeded him as Prime
Minister. "Two of the main political leaders in Parliament," adds the
Times of London, "Grigori Yavlinsky, the leader of the liberal Yabloko
Party, and Vladimir Zhirnovsky, the head of the ultra-nationalist LDPR,
also have Jewish parents." [BEESTON] A Los Angeles Times reporter notes
that "at least half of the powerful 'oligarchs' who control a
significant percentage of the [Russian] economy are Jewish. The reviled
architect of Yeltsin's failed reform policies, Antaloy Chubais, [later
head of the national electrical power monopoly], is rumored to be
Jewish, along with Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, ousted Deputy
Minister Boris Nemtsov and Yeltsin's wife, Naina." [REYNOLDS, p. 7A] The
Jewish Telegraph Agency noted that "Chubais is not ... open about his
Jewish roots." [KRICHEVSKY, L., 5-23-99] Alexander Livshitz also served
a spell as Russia's finance minister in the 1990s. [KRICHEVSKY, L.,
5-23-99]

In 1999, the Jewish Exponent noted that

"all but one of the eight leading [Russian] bankers are Jewish," and
four of them -- Goussinsky, Boris Hait, Mikhail Friedman, and Vitaly
Malkin -- occupy the top positions at the RJC [Russian Jewish Congress]
.. In addition to these business titans, often referred to here in the
[Russian] media and on the street as the 'oligarchs,' many of the
leading political figures in Russia are also Jewish or partly Jewish.
These include fomer prime Minster Sergei Kiriyenko and top Kremlin aides
Yegor Gaidar and Boris Nemtsov. Grigori Yavlinsky, the leader of the
Yabloko, the largest democratic party in the Duma today, has one Jewish
parent ... In the new Russia, the most important fields ... to which
Jews [have] gravitated [are] banking, trade, the media, and show
business." [RUBY, W., p. 37]

In late 1998, Viktor Ilyukin, the head of the Russian Parliament's
Security Affairs Committee, said this about the Yeltsin government: "The
large-scale genocide [i.e., Russian social and economic collapse]
wouldn't have been possible if Yeltsin's inner circle had consisted of
the main ethnicity groups, and not exclusively of one group, the Jews."
[NEW YORK TIMES, Communist, p. 12] That same year, Nikolai Kandratenko,
the governor of a southern Russian province, called the government of
the area's largest city "a Zionist nest" exemplifying a "Judeo-Masonic
mafia." [KRICHEVSKY, L., Russian, p. 7]

Meanwhile, also in the same year, the Jerusalem Post noted a more
commonly enforced stereotypes about the situation of Jews in Russia:

"[A Christian woman in Dallas] heard about some young Jews in the former
Soviet Union getting help via a soup kitchen. She decided to become the
adoptive grandmother, sending in a monthly contribution for their
welfare." [COHEN, A., p. 11]

As Jewish scholar Michael Paul Sacks noted in 1998 about the almost
secretive nature of the economic situation of Jews in modern Russia:

"Published census data on Jews [in Russia] have been very scarce, but
this [from the 1989 Russian census] and other sources leave no doubt
that in comparision with other groups Soviet Jews were very distinctive
in terms of their urban concentration and their educational and
professional achievement ... With the recent release of new data from
the 1989 census, a more precise understanding of the opportunities
available to Jews in 'Soviet' Russia is now possible. These data show
the number of men and women by major ethnic groups (including Jews) in
257 job categories. Surprisingly, this new information is not referred
to even in the most recent Russian scholarship on Jews, and it received
no mention in western sources ... Jews showed a very early path of
upward mobility in the modernizing sectors of the labor force ...
[SACKS, 1998, p. 247] ... Occupations that that were largest for Jews
were primarily top-level positions and all were white collar:
physicians, scientists, chief-managerial personnel, artists and
producers, literary and press personnel. The [job] categories that were
largest only for Russians were entirely manual labor and other
low-skills; tractor drivers, cleaners, weighers, nursemaids, lathe
operators, tailors and seamstresses, carpenters and dairy work." [SACKS,
M., 1998, p. 257]

A 1995 study in Russia found that 84% of employed Jews had "professional
or managerial positions." Another 4% were "owners of firms or
entrepreneurs." [SACKS, M., 1998, p. 265]

With the likes of Gusinsky, Berezovsky, and other powerful Jewish
business tycoons wielding extraordinary influence and blatantly buying
(and allegedly even killing) their broad way into the Russian media,
business, and government, (as well as centrally placed Jews in the
Russian government like Finance Minister Alexander Livshits and First
Deputy Minister in Charge of Economic Reform, Boris Nemtsov), the
Christian Science Monitor noted in 1997 that

"A loose coalition of nationalistic communists and out-and-out [Russian]
nationalists has begun to characterize President Boris Yeltsin's regime
as 'Jewish.' It is the Jewishness of Mr. Yeltsin's regime, its essential
foreignness to Russia, that [in this view] explains the plummeting
economy, the brazen corruption and enrichment of the few ... and
Russia's subservient position to the West." [SHLAPENTOKH, p. 19; WALL
ST, 4-13-95, p. A14; HOFFMAN, D., 1-10-97, p. A1; STANLEY, 6-14-97, p.
A3]

Still another angle on Jewish economic dominance at the upper tiers of
capitalist Russia was a 1998 article in the Israeli daily, Haaretz,
which noted

"The most successful venture capitalists in the world in 1996 and 1997
operated out of Moscow and was started by an Israeli. The Hermitage 1
and Hermitage 2 funds specialize in investments in Russia and other
countries of the former Soviet Union, although they invest throughout
the world. They were set up in 1995 by Israeli businessman Benny
Steinmatz and the Safra brothers [and are] managed by American Bill
Broder ... Hermitage is considered the most senior player on the Moscow
Stock Exchange, and it is the second-largest of the fund managers active
in Russia, with some $600 million to invest." [LIPSON]

Then there is Boris Jordan, also Jewish, from New York's Long Island,
eventual head -- after Vladimir Gusinsky fled to Israel to escape
criminal prosecution -- of Russian television station NTV,

"who almost single-handedly established the Russian stock market, who in
one year earned half the global profits for his employers at Credit
Suisse First Boston, who walked away from a reported $4 million bonus
because it was insultingly small and instead founded Russia's first
full-service investment bank, which he optimistically called Renaissance
Capital. Brash, bright and above all ambitious, Jordan more than any
other individual put Russia on the financial map in the 90's. 'Czar
Boris,' as he was dubbed by admiring business reporters, held court high
atop Moscow's most expensive new skyscraper, while Renaissance's 800
pinstriped bankers and brokers handled billions of dollars from
blue-chip investors like George Soros and the Harvard endowment. The
darling of Davos, the Swiss summit for the well heeled and influential,
Jordan was, in his own words, on top of the world." [BRZENSKI, M.,
7-22-01, p. 40]

Yet another Jewish Russian money mogul is Roman Abramovich. The Warsaw
Voice (headed by Jewish publisher and editor Andrzej Jonas) noted in
1999 that he is "the CEO of the powerful Sibneft oil group. A popular
joke in Moscow says that one must count one's fingers after shaking
hands with Abramovich, who has for years been associated with
Berezovsky's financial group." [ZYGULSKI, p. 8] Oil magnate Leonid
Nevzlin became head of the Russian Jewish Congress in 2001. He and the
aforementioned Mihail Khodorkowvsky "formed one of the first successful
private banks in Russia in 1989. The two then went into the oil business
together, and now run the YUKOS firm -- Khodorkovsky is in charge, and
Nevzlin is his deputy." The secular Jewish Nevzlin, like so many, has
returned to his Jewish roots. "For all my life," he says, "I have never
felt any substantial anti-Semitism, and was rather indifferent to the
Jewish community. Then something clicked, and I thought, Well, I'm over
40, I have made a successful career, I have made a fortune. But what
will I tell my children when I am 70." [GORODETSKY, L., 5-23-01]

Then there is Mikhail Mirilashvili (a.ka., Misha Kutaisskey), who "is
one of the biggest shareholders of the local branch of LUK oil. He is
also president of Channel 11 and president and deputy chairman of the
St. Petersburg branch of the Russian chapter of the World Jewish
Congress." A brother, Konstantin, is the "co-owner of Gosting Dvor, [St.
Petersburg's] major shopping center." [KORALYEV, VLADIMIR, 10-11-2000]
Then there is Anatoly Karachinsky, "head of Information Business
Systems, Russia's largest IT group." Karachinsky, also Jewish, "is
regarded in Russia as the country's answer to Bill Gates -- and who is
about to become the country's first high-technology dollar millionaire."
Karachinsky "set up NewspaperDirect, a system that allows newspapers
from anywhere in the world to be printed on a desktop." [FINANCIAL
TIMES, 10-2-00]

Then there is New York-based Stuart Subotnick, also Jewish, who is the
CEO and president of Metromedia International Group. (In 1999, Subotnick
was ranked by Forbes magazine among the richest 400 Americans). This
company's specialty is cable, telephone, and digital media -- largely in
Eastern Europe. Holdings include complete -- or major -- shares in
Russia's PLD Telekom, Kosmos TV ("one of Russia's largest wireless cable
operators"), 50% of Comstar ("a large Moscow digital communications
carrier"), Romsat ("one of the largest cable operators in Romania"), 70%
of "a leading Bucharest-based ISP (Internet Service Provider) called FX
Internet. Metromedia even has holdings in places like Belarus and
Kazakhstan. In Russia it also owns "several TV and radio stations in St.
Petersburg and Nizhii Novgorod." [CAPITAL MARKET RUSSIA, 5-20-99; AFX
EUROPEAN FOCUS, 1-12-01; CABLE EUROPE, 7-4-00; TELECOMMUNICATIONS
SERVICES MARKET, 6-26-00]

Howard Jacobson rode with a taxi driver in recent years in New York
City. The driver was a fellow Jew, a recent immigrant from Russia. "He
speaks Yiddish," noted Jacobson in 1993,

"His family kept it alive so that they could talk among themselves and
not be understood. 'A secret language,' he explains. The secret language
of the Jews. A light kept burning underground all during those years of
atheism. I'd be touched if I wasn't alarmed. For where people speak a
secret language, how can suspicion and fear of them not multiply?"
[JACOBSON, H., 1993/1995, p. 80-81]

"Our people are not blind," proclaimed the head of the Russian Communist
Party, Gennady Zyuganov, in 1998, "They cannot fail to see that the
spread of Zionism in the government is one of the reasons for the
current catastrophe in the country, the mass impoverishment and the
process of extinction of its people." [ENSEL, M., p. 3]

The blustering of an anti-Semitic fanatic? In the same year, a Jewish
Russian immigrant in New York of considerable renown, novelist Edward
Topol (whose work was once banned in Russia), stirred controversy and
deep concern in the world Jewish community because of a published letter
he wrote to a Russian weekly newspaper. In it Topol called prominent
Jewish Russian bankers "puppeteers" who manipulated Russian politics and
its economy. The puppeteers, he concluded, has "a very long Jewish last
name -- Berezovsko-Goussinsko-Smolensko-Khodrokovsko, etc. ... How come
all or almost all the money in this country ended up in Jewish hands?"
Topol also called the economic crisis in Russia today a "Jewish
tragedy." "Mr. Topol's main premise," noted the (Jewish) Forward, "is
that for the first time in a millennium, Jews have gained real political
power and financial control over Russia and can pretty much decide
whether to 'cast the country into a chaos of wars and poverty or raise
it from the mud.'" [KRICHEVSKY, Emigre's, p. 5; KAZAKINA, p. 5]

In 1997 the (Jewish) Forward reported that "with the [Russian] economy
in shambles, opposition parties held nationwide strikes at the end of
last month. [Even] Jews are grumbling that too many Jews stand close to
the reigns of power and too many Jewish names fill the headlines."
[BLUSTAIN, R, p. 1] "All the Jews, I don't understand their motivation,
to show they are rich ... [to say] 'I am an owner and you are a slave,'"
complained Alexander Lieberman, the Jewish director of the Union
Council's Russian-American Bureau of Human Rights. "If I were a single
Russian and I saw and heard only Jews in the government ... [I would
think] 'we are all without money because the Jews have all the Russian
money.'" [BLUSTAIN, p. 1] "People have quite bitter memories of Jews in
the [communist] revolution," noted Michael Chlenov, the president of the
Jewish Va'ad of Russia.

In this regard, transnationally, in 1996, Boris Berezovsky hosted a
party in honor of the earlier mentioned Ronald Lauder (American Jewish
owner of a number of TV stations in Europe), attended by Russian
President Boris Yeltsin and United States Ambassador Thomas Pickering.
Speaking to a reporter, Lauder (already ensnarled in partnership media
dealings in the Ukraine with Russian mafia-clouded Vadim Rabinovich)
publicly distanced himself from Berezovsky, saying, "The invitations
went out in President Yeltsin's name." [FORBES, p. 91]

[The trans-world Jewish collusion. More evidence of the Jewish/Zionist
sweep of American foreign policy. Jewish/Zionist Pentagon bigwig Richard
Perle interferes in Russian politics in the name of the Jewish Russian
owners of Yukos Oil; Mikhail Khodorkovsky (Russia's richest man) is
Jewish] THE WORLD: Russian Firm's Woes Raise Fears for Big Business. The
outcome of a battle between an energy giant and criminal prosecutors
could affect the development of the nation's free market, By Kim Murphy,
Los Angeles Times, July 23, 2003 "When key Washington policy advisor
Richard Perle sat down this week for a meeting with leading Russian
political analysts, he had an unsolicited word of advice: Lay off Yukos
Oil Co., the Russian energy giant locked in a showdown with criminal
prosecutors. Many believe that the outcome of that battle could
determine the future of big business and foreign investment in this
nation's still-fledgling free-market economy. "It's possible already to
say that real damage is being done to the prospects for future Russian
economic growth and development by what appears to be an arbitrary,
capricious and vindictive campaign against a private company," warned
Perle, adding that "it will get very bad" if the Kremlin decides to move
decisively against Yukos. For nearly three weeks, Moscow has been
politically shaken by the face-off between prosecutors and Russia's
richest man, 40-year-old Mikhail Khodorkovsky, whose Yukos empire has
been threatened by the arrest of a key shareholder, searches at company
offices and announcements that prosecutors are examining company
officials for suspected crimes from tax evasion to murder. The fact that
U.S. interests are quietly weighing in on Khodorkovsky's behalf - Perle
emphasized that he was not speaking on behalf of the government, but
U.S. Ambassador Alexander Vershbow clearly was when he said the affair
"raises a number of questions for us" - is testament to Khodorkovsky's
role as a powerful advocate for Western interests in a country still
deeply troubled over issues such as U.S. policy in Iraq and the future
of free-market capitalism within its own borders. The outcome of the
Yukos crisis is crucial for Russia, not only because it will signal
whether free-enterprise advocates in the Kremlin will hold out against
an apparent assault from the state bureaucracy's old guard but also
because the dogfight has already proved costly. Yukos, which is expected
to become the world's fourth-largest oil company after a planned merger
with Russian company Sibneft, has lost $10 billion in market
capitalization over the last two weeks, or about a quarter of its value.
Its slide pulled down the stock market, which has lost more than $20
billion ... It is not known to what extent [Russian Prime Minister]
Putin may have been involved in approving the July 2 arrest of Platon
Lebedev, 43, a billionaire and a key member of Khodorkovsky's financial
empire, on embezzlement charges stemming from the privatization of a
fertilizer plant nearly a decade ago. Some analysts believe that Putin
simply wants to warn Khodorkovsky and the other oligarchs to stay out of
politics and is not seeking to reverse liberal economic reforms. Not
only has Khodorkovsky given millions of dollars to two liberal parties
that might block Kremlin policy in parliament, but he also urged Russia
not to oppose the U.S. in the war on Iraq."

[Another apolegetic for Jewish wealth and power and Russia. These many
Jewish billionaires are just "fronts," you see, for the real bad guys.
As always, even the fabulously wealthy Jews -- most with ties to the
Jewish "Russian" mafia -- who have shaped post-commuist Russia are
depicted as victims,]

The Jews and The Bicycle Riders, by Dr. Gary K. Busch, Pravda (Russia),
July 26, 2003

http://english.pravda.ru/printed.html?news_id=10586

"My grandmother, from Kovno, had a standard response to weighty matters
of social and political policy. She would say ?I suspect it's all the
fault of the Jews and the bicycle riders.' When people would ask 'Why
the bicycle riders?' she would reply 'Why the Jews?' In the current
discussion about the deteriorating fate of the 'oligarchs' in Russia the
unspoken question is not about the bicycle riders. The question, to put
it as a Russian euphemism, is a line five question. This refers to line
five of the internal passport which deals with nationality; e.g. 'Jew'.
There are a number of very good reasons why it is the Jewish oligarchs
that are feeling the cool breeze from St. Petersburg and Moscow. First
it was Gusinsky and Berezovsky and now the pressure is spreading to
Khodorkovsky, and Abramovitch. The answer, in short, is the real powers
behind the process of capital accumulation, the KGB and the 'Old Guard',
no longer think they need to use them as an acceptable front. The
elevation of Putin and many of those who have accompanied him have
convinced them that there is no longer any need to mask who really has
power, both economic and political, in Russia. There are many in Russia,
let alone abroad, who may not understand why so many of today's
oligarchs are Jews. This is to use the Russian line five classification
of Jew which has nothing to do with faith or observance but is an
inherited ethnic and nationality distinction. These Jews are oligarchs
because they were chosen to be oligarchs and set up in business by the
Chekists and the boys from the Aquarium for this purpose. I can only
extrapolate from my own experiences in Russia in the early 1990's,
helping to set up the trade in non-ferrous metals with the West ... The
KGB and its allies, under Silayev and Kryuchkov, set up a system in
which loyal and trusted members of the Komsomol system and friendly
businessmen could form their own banks v Russian banks. Men like
Khodorkovsky, Aven, Fridman and others were chosen and set up in the
money business. They used the banks to channel the returning Mafia money
into long-term businesses. With few exceptions, those chosen for this
were all Jews. When Western pioneers like Marc Rich, David Reuben, Gerry
Lennard or Jerry Cligman agreed to work within this system by creating
the -tolling business, they were given a kick start of roubles to help
pay for the initial costs of the tolling system, They, too, were mainly
Jews, albeit foreign Jews. Between these two groups there was another
layer of 'facilitators'; people who knew the parallel system. They set
up the deals. They traded the hard earned cash from aluminium into
cigarettes and vodka which could be brought back into Russia and sold
for cash, providing liquidity to the system. These facilitators were
among the first private businessmen in Russia. They had ties to the very

independent private sector who had access to the raw materials and the
internal organizations which could deliver on the agreements made; the
Izmailova (the late Anton Malevksy), Soltsnevo, Long Pond groups to name
but a few. The facilitators included the Chernoy brothers (Mischa and
Lev), Sam Kislin, and the 'institutionals' Gregory Luchansky, Semyon
Mogilevich (Lyubarsky and Long Pond) or Vadim Rabinovich in the Ukraine.
Most of these, too, were Jews. Without these men the Russification of
Russia couldn-t have taken place. They provided the only working system
in Russia."

Jewish capital is good for Russia, Jewish politics less so,

By Eliahu Salpeter, Haaretz (Israel), August 17, 2003

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=324066

"Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the wealthiest man in Russia, is under
investigation. It's Anti-Semitism again, say Jewish sources It is
doubtful whether there are many Jews in the world the value of whose
assets reach $5 billion. Certainly, there is no other Jew who can afford
to lose a billion dollars and still be the richest man in Russia.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, 39, looks in photographs (depending on the angle)
like a young Shas politico or like a successful Wall Street investment
consultant. According to Fortune magazine, Khodorkovsky controls 16
percent of the shares in the company Yukos and owns more than half of
them personally. Yukos is said to be worth $15-20 billion, and with the
completion of the deal to acquire the Sibneft, which was signed about
three months ago, it will become the third-largest oil company in the
world, and the largest in Russia. The troubles started for Yukos (and
Khodorkovsky) at the beginning of July, when the police arrested his
aide and chief ally, Platon Lebedev, and accused him of fraud, forgery
and tax violations and also interrogated (but did not arrest)
Khodorkovsky himself. About two weeks ago, the General Prosecutor's
Office announced that it had also opened an investigation of five
murders or attempted murders of officials and businessmen at odds with
the company. In Moscow, it's said, the police are investigating
Khodorkovsky's aides but are aiming at him; the authorization for the
investigation was given by President Vladimir Putin. The burning
question in Moscow is what lies behind the investigation? Maybe the
Kremlin is embarking on a new hunt of the "oligarchs," the very wealthy
Russians who made their fortunes during the Nineties' privatization ...
The Jews in Russia are, of course, concerned about whether there are
anti-Semitic elements in the affair. Of the dozen or so Russian
billionaires who made their fortunes during the past decade, seven were
Jewish. Three of them have already been deposed from heading their
companies and pushed out of Russia as well - Aleksandr Smolensky, the
crash of whose bank in 1998 led to the worst financial crash in the
post-Communist era; Boris Berezovsky, "the Kremlin godfather," whose
demonstrative conversion to Christianity proved to be of no avail; and
Vladimir Gusinsky, who was not helped by his demonstrative Jewishness as
chairman of the Jewish Congress in Russia. Four remain: Khodorkovsky,
bankers Pyotr Aven and Mikhai Fridman and the current media star of the
oligarchs, Roman Abramovich - among other things, the main owner of
Sibneft - who is considered the richest man in Russia after
Khodorkovsky. ... Aleksandr Osovtsov, former vice president of the
Jewish Congress in Russia says the anti-Semitism in the affair is clear.
The same team from the Prosecutor General's Office that in its day
forced Gusinsky to leave Russia is active now and by chance or not,
Gusinsky was one of the financial supporters of the Jewish Congress and
Khodorkovsky is also among its supporters. Chelsea's new owner In recent
weeks international attention has been accorded to the seventh of the
Jewish oligarchs, Roman Abramovich, who purchased the English soccer
team Chelsea for about $200 million ... The patronage of Berezovsky (who
at the time still enjoyed the support of the Kremlin) helped him
acquire, for the paltry sum of about $100 million, dozens of local oil
companies and to build from them the huge Sibneft company. In 2002, the
profits of Sibneft came to $1.1 billio ... The Khodorkovsky affair gives
rise to a more realistic question: Is there a likelihood that
influential Jews in Moscow, oligarchs and politicians, will be able in
the foreseeable future to help Israel in the Kremlin? Their relative
weight is no less than the weight of Jews in the upper reaches of the
American economy."

St. Petersburg Jews jolted by stiff sentence for local leader,

By Lev Krichevsky, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, August 21, 2003

http://www.jta.org/page_view_story.asp?strwebhead=Russian+Jewish+businessman+fights+verdict&amp;intcategoryid=2

"The stiff prison sentence handed down to Russian businessman and Jewish
leader Mikhail Mirilashvili is sending shock waves through Russia's
second-largest Jewish community. On Aug. 1, the Leningrad District
Military Court in St. Petersburg sentenced the local business magnate
and Jewish philanthropist to 12 years in a high-security prison.
Mirilashvili, 43, has spent the last 30 months in jail on charges of
creating a criminal gang, kidnapping and attempted murder. The verdict,
handed down the same day as the sentencing, cleared the businessman of
the attempted murder charge but found him guilty of trespassing,
kidnapping and detaining persons against their will ... Mirilashvili has
served as president of the [Russian Jewish Congress] RJC's St.
Petersburg branch since the group's founding in 1996. He retained his
post after he was imprisoned in January of 2001. The group says that
despite his imprisonment, Mirilashvili still remains the largest local
supporter of the Jewish community. Last year, the RJC raised $350,000 in
St. Petersburg, according to the group's 2002 annual report. RJC
president Yevgeny Satanovsky said most of the money had been a donation
from Mirilashvili. "Despite his imprisonment, he remains one of the most
affluent people in St. Petersburg," Satanovsky said. A native of the
former Soviet republic of Georgia, Mirilashvili is said to have a wide
range of business interests in St. Petersburg, including casinos, real
estate, retail, entertainment and hotel businesses. The businessman, who
has never been shy about his Jewish background, holds Russian and
Israeli citizenship and used to divide his time between St. Petersburg
and Tel Aviv. His 18-year-old son, Slava, recently graduated from an
English-language high school in Israel and will attend Tufts University
near Boston this fall ... A week before his sentencing, Mirilashvili
became embroiled in a public argument with another powerful Russian Jew,
exiled tycoon Boris Berezovsky - who in the mid-1990s unsuccessfully
tried to take over a local television station Mirilashvili ran. In an
open letter published July 24 in the Moscow newspaper Kommersant Daily,
Berezovsky accused Mirilashvili of being involved in an underhanded deal
in the early 1990´s to privatize a St. Petersburg-based alcohol producer
,,, He also denied accusations by Berezovsky and others that he has ties
to the criminal underworld. In the same letter, Mirilashvili accused
Berezovsky of changing his religion to Orthodox Christianity after
Berezovsky failed in an alleged attempt to become a leader of the
Russian Jewish community."

[Gusinksky is just one of the Jewish Russian "oligarchs" who looted
Russia. Boris Berezovsky is another Jewish media billionaire, also with
Israeli citizenship, who fled that country.] ...

[The two richest Russians today, Roman Abramovich and Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, are Jewish. So are the below mentioned Russian billionaire
fugitives Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky. All looters of Russia.
All "gangster capitalists." All with dual citizenship: Russian and
Israeli.]

Boyish Billionaire Turns His Sights Outside Russia As Others Face
Probes, Abramovich Sells Assets, By Peter Baker, Washington Post,
September 5, 2003; Page A12

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A27891-2003Sep4.html

"One sits in prison, another just got out on bail, a third awaits
extradition hearings. But while many Russian tycoons face legal pressure
from their government, Roman Abramovich passes time in the director's
boxes at British stadiums, leaping to his feet in triumph, burying his
face in disappointment, relishing each kick by the London soccer team he
has just bought. Life as a British sports magnate seems to agree with
Abramovich, a boyish orphan-turned-billionaire with designer stubble on
his chin. Between soccer matches, he retires to his 450-acre English
country estate and considers which British schools his children should
attend while accountants back in Moscow unload more of his assets.
Abramovich, Russia's second-richest man and the quietest of the men
known as oligarchs who once seemed to run the country, appears to be
extricating himself from the tangled and untamed business-political
world in his home country, where many of his peers find themselves the
target of criminal investigations. With Russian parliamentary elections
scheduled for December and a presidential election next March,
Abramovich hopes to avoid the fate of other business leaders who play
the role of villain in many campaigns .. Now 36, he is worth $5.7
billion, according to Forbes magazine, making him one of the world's 50
richest people. President Vladimir Putin's government seems to be
renewing a campaign against the oligarchs as the elections draw nearer.
Prosecutors this summer opened eight investigations into the Yukos oil
company and associates of its chief executive, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the
only Russian with more money than Abramovich. Khodorkovsky's adviser and
fellow billionaire, Platon Lebedev, was arrested on fraud charges and
was ordered held until Oct. 30. Khodorkovsky was called in for
questioning. Abramovich's estranged partner, Boris Berezovsky, who had
fled Russia, faces an extradition hearing in Britain in October. And
another self-exiled tycoon, Vladimir Gusinsky, was detained in Greece
and released on bond pending a Russian extradition request. For a time,
rumors swirled that Abramovich was next, but nothing has come of it.
Abramovich eschews public talk of political maneuvering and instead
focuses with childlike delight on the joys of buying virtually any
soccer player he likes and soaking up the novelty of part-time life in
the West ... Abramovich recently said he would not seek a second term as
governor of Chukotka, a barren Arctic region across the Bering Strait
from Alaska and home to more reindeer than people. Abramovich won the
governorship in 2000 promising to transform the destitute wasteland
where winter lasts nine months. Since then, he has put $200 million of
his own money into reviving Chukotka ... "It's not going to be better up
here without him, that's for sure," Alexander Adelshtein, a spokesman
for the district government, said by telephone. "It's natural to keep
hoping to the end that he will change his mind." His recent transactions
are yielding a massive cash windfall, much of it kept abroad. Last year
Sibneft, which Abramovich and Berezovsky acquired from the state for
$250 million in 1995, paid $1 billion in dividends to Abramovich and his
remaining partners. Sibneft recently promised another $1 billion
dividend this year. The sale to Yukos will bring in $3 billion more and
his Russian Aluminum holdings are on the block for yet another $3
billion ... Abramovich bought the storied Chelsea soccer club in July,
paying the equivalent of $94 million and assuming debt of $141 million.
Since then he has gone on a spending spree, shelling out $150 million to
secure some of the most talented players in the country in pursuit of
the team's first league championship since 1955. Britain reacted to the
purchase with a mixture of awe and dread. A member of Parliament
questioned whether Abramovich was a "fit and proper person" to own a
soccer club, given his emergence from Russia's gangster capitalism ...
He already owns a Boeing Business Jet, the equivalent of a 737 airliner,
and recently bought a 355-foot yacht. He has a 100-acre estate outside
Moscow, a luxury apartment in St. Tropez and the estate in West Sussex
south of London, with stables for 100 horses, two polo pitches, a
swimming pool, tennis court, rifle ranges and go-kart track. He's
selling a $7.9 million London apartment so he can get a bigger place."

Russian Jewry's Point Man Feliks Frenkel is widely regarded as the chief
liaison between his community and the Jewish establishment,

by Walter Ruby, The Jewish Week, September 19, 2003

http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/newscontent.php3?artid=8443

"If any Russian Jew can claim to be an essential bridge between the
Russian-speaking community of New York and the world of American Jewish
philanthropy, Feliks Frenkel may be that person. Having risen in less
than 25 years from a penniless immigrant from Kiev to a wealthy
arbitrageur and considerable power within the world of Jewish
philanthropy, the engaging 48-year-old Frenkel is widely seen as the
Russian Jewish layperson who is best able to explain the needs and the
general gestalt of the Russian community to the top leaders of
UJA-Federation, and vice versa. Unlike other Russian Jewish millionaires
in New York who tend to live and work in a largely Russian-speaking
environment, Frenkel, who speaks fluent, lightly accented English,
divides his time between his office in a thoroughly American corporate
environment in Westchester County and a condominium on the Upper East
Side he shares with his wife, Marina, and their two children. Yet
Frenkel, who mainly socializes with fellow Russian Jews and has
undertaken his philanthropic work within a specifically Russian Jewish
context, says he sees his role as "not only bringing the message and
expertise of UJA-Federation to the Russian community, but also bringing
the soul of Russian Jewry to the mainstream community." ... Frenkel says
he has never had a problem relating to the lay leaders of the American
Jewish establishment, in part because he is every bit as wealthy and
powerful as they are ... Frenkel says he imbibes his strong ethic of
responsibility to the Jewish community in his mother's milk, noting that
both of his parents considered it their responsibility to help fellow
Jews in need back in Kiev ... After graduating in 1980, he submitted 100
resumes to Wall Street firms, including Bear Stearns, where someone
showed his resume to the firm's legendary CEO Alan "Ace" Greenberg.
According to Frenkel, "Greenberg looked at my resume and noticed that I
had studied at the University of Siberia. So he said, 'I've hired people
from all walks of life. I've had geniuses and embezzlers, undergraduates
and PhDs. But I have never had anybody from the University of Siberia.
Let's give him the job.' " Just over a year later, however, Frenkel left
Bear Stearns and joined the predecessor of OTA Limited Partnerships, a
trading firm that specializes in corporate takeovers, as a research
analyst in risk arbitrage ... Frenkel has always made it a point to live
in Manhattan, which he calls "a lemon from which my wife and I try to
squeeze as much juice as we can."

[The Jewish Telegraph Agency noted that "Chubais is not ... open about
his Jewish roots." [KRICHEVSKY, L., 5-23-99] You'll note that the
blueprint for economic destruction and looting of Russia seems to have

The Harvard Boys Do Russia,

by Janine R. Wedel, The Nation, May 14, 1998

http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=19980601&amp;c=1&amp;s=wedel

"After seven years of economic "reform" financed by billions of dollars
in U.S. and other Western aid, subsidized loans and rescheduled debt,
the majority of Russian people find themselves worse off economically.
The privatization drive that was supposed to reap the fruits of the free
market instead helped to create a system of tycoon capitalism run for
the benefit of a corrupt political oligarchy that has appropriated
hundreds of millions of dollars of Western aid and plundered Russia's
wealth. The architect of privatization was former First Deputy Prime
Minister Anatoly Chubais, a darling of the U.S. and Western financial
establishments. Chubais's drastic and corrupt stewardship made him
extremely unpopular. According to The New York Times, he "may be the
most despised man in Russia." Essential to the implementation of
Chubais's policies was the enthusiastic support of the Clinton
Administration and its key representative for economic assistance in
Moscow, the Harvard Institute for International Development. Using the
prestige of Harvard's name and connections in the Administration,
H.I.I.D. officials acquired virtual carte blanche over the U.S. economic
aid program to Russia, with minimal oversight by the government agencies
involved. With this access and their close alliance with Chubais and his
circle, they allegedly profited on the side. Yet few Americans are aware
of H.I.I.D.'s role in Russian privatization, and its suspected misuse of
taxpayers' funds. At the recent U.S.-Russian Investment Symposium at
Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, Yuri Luzhkov, the Mayor
of Moscow, made what might have seemed to many an impolite reference to
his hosts. After castigating Chubais and his monetarist policies,
Luzhkov, according to a report of the event, "singled out Harvard for
the harm inflicted on the Russian economy by its advisers, who
encouraged Chubais's misguided approach to privatization and
monetarism." Luzhkov was referring to H.I.I.D. Chubais, who was
delegated vast powers over the economy by Boris Yeltsin, was ousted in
Yeltsin's March purge, but in May he was given an immensely lucrative
post as head of Unified Energy System, the country's electricity
monopoly. Some of the main actors with Harvard's Russia project have yet
to face a reckoning, but this may change if a current investigation by
the U.S. government results in prosecutions. The activities of H.I.I.D.
in Russia provide some cautionary lessons on abuse of trust by
supposedly disinterested foreign advisers, on U.S. arrogance and on the
entire policy of support for a single Russian group of so-called
reformers. The H.I.I.D. story is a familiar one in the ongoing saga of
U.S. foreign policy disasters created by those said to be our "best and
brightest." Through the late summer and fall of 1991, as the Soviet
state fell apart, Harvard Professor Jeffrey Sachs and other Western
economists participated in meetings at a dacha outside Moscow where
young, pro-Yeltsin reformers planned Russia's economic and political
future. Sachs teamed up with Yegor Gaidar, Yeltsin's first architect of
economic reform, to promote a plan of "shock therapy" to swiftly
eliminate most of the price controls and subsidies that had underpinned
life for Soviet citizens for decades. Shock therapy produced more
shock--not least, hyperinflation that hit 2,500 percent--than therapy.
One result was the evaporation of much potential investment capital: the
substantial savings of Russians. By November 1992, Gaidar was under
attack for his failed policies and was soon pushed aside ... Print this
article E-mail this article Write to the editors .I.I.D. had supporters
high in the Administration. One was Lawrence Summers, himself a former
Harvard economics professor, whom Clinton named Under Secretary of the
Treasury for International Affairs in 1993. Summers, now Deputy Treasury
Secretary, had longstanding ties to the principals of Harvard's project
in Russia and its later project in Ukraine. Summers hired a Harvard
Ph.D., David Lipton (who had been vice president of Jeffrey D. Sachs and
Associates, a consulting firm), to be Deputy Assistant Treasury
Secretary for Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union. After Summers
was promoted to Deputy Secretary, Lipton moved into Summers's old job,
assuming "broad responsibility" for all aspects of international
economic policy development. Lipton co-wrote numerous papers with Sachs
and served with him on consulting missions in Poland and Russia. "Jeff
and David always came [to Russia] together," said a Russian
representative at the International Monetary Fund. "They were like an
inseparable couple." Sachs, who was named director of H.I.I.D. in 1995,
lobbied for and received U.S.A.I.D. grants for the institute to work in
Ukraine in 1996 and 1997 ... Andrei Shleifer, a Russian-born émigré and
already a tenured professor of economics at Harvard in his early 30s,
became director of H.I.I.D.'s Russia project. Shleifer was also a
protégé of Summers, with whom he received at least one foundation grant
.. Another Harvard player was a former World Bank consultant named
Jonathan Hay, a Rhodes scholar who had attended Moscow's Pushkin
Institute for Russian Language. In 1991, while still at Harvard Law
School, he had become a senior legal adviser to the G.K.I., the Russian
state's new privatization committee; the following year he was made
H.I.I.D.'s general director in Moscow. The youthful Hay assumed vast
powers over contractors, policies and program specifics; he not only
controlled access to the Chubais circle but served as its mouthpiece ...
With help from his H.I.I.D. advisers and other Westerners, Chubais and
his cronies set up a network of aid-funded "private" organizations that
enabled them to bypass legitimate government agencies and circumvent the
new parliament of the Russian Federation, the Duma. Through this
network, two of Chubais's associates, Maxim Boycko (who co-wrote
Privatizing Russia with Shleifer) and Dmitry Vasiliev, oversaw almost a
third of a billion dollars in aid money and millions more in loans from
international financial institutions ... The device of setting up
private organizations backed by the power of the Yeltsin government and
maintaining close ties to H.I.I.D. was a way of insuring deniability.
Shleifer, Hay and other Harvard principals, all U.S. citizens, were
"Russian" when convenient. Hay, for example, served alternately and
sometimes simultaneously as aid contractor, manager of other contractors
and representative of the Russian government ... Against the backdrop of
Russia's Klondike capitalism, which they were helping create and Chubais
and his team were supposedly regulating, the H.I.I.D. advisers exploited
their intimate ties with Chubais and the government and were allegedly
able to conduct business activities for their own enrichment. According
to sources close to the U.S. government's investigation, Hay used his
influence, as well as U.S.A.I.D.-financed resources, to help his
girlfriend, Elizabeth Hebert, set up a mutual fund, Pallada Asset
Management, in Russia ... After Pallada was set up, Hebert, Hay,
Shleifer and Vasiliev looked for ways to continue their activities as
aid funds dwindled. Using I.L.B.E. resources and funding, they
established a private consulting firm with taxpayer money. One of the
firm's first clients was Shleifer's wife, Nancy Zimmerman, who operated
a Boston-based hedge fund that traded heavily in Russian bonds.
According to Russian registration documents, Zimmerman's company set up
a Russian firm with Sergei Shishkin, the I.L.B.E. chief, as general
director. Corporate documents on file in Moscow showed that the address
and phone number of the company and the I.L.B.E. were the same. Then
there is the First Russian Specialized Depository, which holds the
records and assets of mutual fund investors. This institution, funded by
a World Bank loan, also worked to the benefit of Hay, Vasiliev, Hebert
and another associate, Julia Zagachin. According to sources close to the
U.S. government's investigation, Zagachin, an American married to a
Russian, was selected to run the depository even though she lacked the
required capital ... Anne Williamson, a journalist who specializes in
Soviet and Russian affairs, details these and other conflicts of
interest between H.I.I.D.'s advisers and their supposed clients--the
Russian people--in her forthcoming book, How America Built the New
Russian Oligarchy. For example, in 1995, in Chubais-organized insider
auctions of prime national properties, known as loans-for-shares, the
Harvard Management Company (H.M.C.), which invests the university's
endowment, and billionaire speculator George Soros were the only foreign
entities allowed to participate. H.M.C. and Soros became significant
shareholders in Novolipetsk, Russia's second-largest steel mill, and
Sidanko Oil, whose reserves exceed those of Mobil. H.M.C. and Soros also
invested in Russia's high-yielding, I.M.F.-subsidized domestic bond
market. Even more dubious, according to Williamson, was Soros's July
1997 purchase of 24 percent of Sviazinvest, the telecommunications
giant, in partnership with Uneximbank's Vladimir Potanin. It was later
learned that shortly before this purchase Soros had tided over Yeltsin's
government with a backdoor loan of hundreds of millions of dollars while
the government was awaiting proceeds of a Eurobond issue; the loan now
appears to have been used by Uneximbank to purchase Norilsk Nickel in
August 1997. According to Williamson, the U.S. assistance program in
Russia was rife with such conflicts of interest involving H.I.I.D.
advisers and their U.S.A.I.D.-funded Chubais allies, H.M.C. managers,
favored Russian bankers, Soros and insider expatriates working in
Russia's nascent markets ... Despite exposure of this corruption in the
Russian media (and, far more hesitantly, in the U.S. media), the
H.I.I.D.-Chubais clique remained until recently the major instrument of
U.S. economic aid policy to Russia. It even used the high-level
Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission, which helped orchestrate the cooperation
of U.S.-Russian oil deals and the Mir space station. The commission's
now-defunct Capital Markets Forum was chaired on the Russian side by
Chubais and Vasiliev, and on the U.S. side by S.E.C. chairman Arthur
Levitt Jr. and Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. Andrei Shleifer was
named special coordinator to all four of the Capital Markets Forum's
working subgroups. Hebert, Hay's girlfriend, served on two of the
subgroups, as did the C.E.O.s of Salomon Brothers, Merrill Lynch and
other powerful Wall Street investment houses. When The Nation contacted
the S.E.C. for information about Capital Markets, we were told to call
Shleifer for comment. Shleifer, who is under investigation by
U.S.A.I.D.'s inspector general for misuse of funds, declined to be
interviewed for this article. A U.S. Treasury spokesman said Shleifer
and Hebert were appointed to Capital Markets by the Chubais
group--specifically, according to other sources, by Dmitry Vasiliev."

Greek Court Rejects Russian Extradition,

Yahoo! News (from Associated Press), October 14, 2003

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&amp;cid=518&amp;ncid=732&amp;e=1&amp;u=/ap/20031014/ap_on_re_eu/greece_russian_tycoon

"A Greek appeals court on Tuesday rejected a Russian extradition request
for media tycoon Vladimir Gusinsky, accused in his country of fraud and
money laundering. In a hearing that lasted one minute, an appellate
court judge threw out the Russian request after ruling that under Greek
law the accusations did not constitute a crime as he had no outstanding
debts to the Russian state. "I am satisfied with the court's decision,"
Gusinsky said without further comment. Gusinsky left the downtown Athens
court in a jeep. He was expected to return to Israel, where he lives,
later Tuesday, lawyers said. One of his lawyers, Antonis Vgontzas, said
the court decision saved Greece from "an insane adventure." Gusinsky
claimed the Russian accusations were part of a politically motivated
vendetta for criticizing Moscow's leaders and their policies. He was
arrested on Aug. 21 on his arrival from Israel. He was released on bail
a week later and had since been staying at a luxury hotel in Athens. His
$117,000 was returned. Last week Russian prosecutors - acting on the
Greek court's request - sent additional documentation to bolster the
extradition bid for Gusinsky, who once controlled Russia's influential
NTV television network. Gusinsky contended the charges were engineered
in retaliation for NTV's critical coverage of Russian President Vladimir
Putin and the war in Chechnya. During a Sept. 29 hearing, a Greek
prosecutor had described the extradition request as "unclear." Russia
initially sought Gusinsky on charges of misrepresenting the assets of
his company Media-Most to obtain a $262 million loan from the
state-owned gas company Gazprom. It later added allegations of money
laundering."

Get educated: The myth that sovereign nation states are behind war. (Click!)
And how Gore and Bush where really interchangable tools of deviant
Anglo-American plutocracy.

"They will never exhonerate him [LaRouche]. ... He would become immediately
a national folk hero. ... They would never want him to get into that
position as a potential candidate." -- Bill Clinton

-------------

In 1999, one of the candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for the
presidency, Lyndon LaRouche, wrote this:

"The first modern nation-states were established under France's Lousi XI and
England's Henry VII. It is also to be noted, that from A.D. 1500 until the
aftermath of the U.S. Civil War of 1861-1865, virually all wars fought
within Europe were launced by feudalist factions, such as Venice's financier
oligarcy, which either sought to go back to the form of pre-nation-state
globalized society which existed prior to the Fifteenth-Century Renaissance,
such as the so-called religious wars of the Sixteenth and Seventeeth
Centuries, and Metternich's Holy Alliance, or simply against the efforts to
establish in Europe nation-states modelled upon the American model of
constitutional republic. World War I was personally pre-orchestrated by
King Edward VII's British Empire, to break up what London considered the
"geopolitical threat" of peaceful cooperation among the U.S.A., France,
Germany, Russia, Japan, and China led by Sun Yat Sen's republicans. World
War II was the result of London's and its Wall Street cronies' combined
actions in putting Adolph Hitler into power in the coup d'etat of January
28 -- February 29, 1933. It is not the modern form of sovereign
nation-state which causes ruinous wars, but directly the contrary." (p. 35
f.)

"Make History, Not War -- The strategic military policy of a modern
sovereign nation-state republic is not a craft; it is not a distinct set of
principles respecting military practice. It is an integral funciton of the
strategy for conduct of statecraft in general, and it is always fully
subject to that strategy. The strategy of statecraft is located within the
challenge of making history, in the sense that the struggle to free the
institutions of the modern sovereign nation-state republic from the grip of
oligarchical vestiges of previous, morally inferior forms of society and
law, is exemplary of that task.

"In other words, there can be no competent military strategy which is based
simply on the matter of conflicts among states; the conflict with which
competent execution of military strategy must be primarily concerned, is
whether civilization is being defended effectively, and whether that
attempted defense moves the condition of mankind as a whole morally upscale,
or not. ...

Thus, in suitable approximation for today, the purpose of all strategic
planning, including military action, is subsumed by the requirement of
establishing, and defending a just and therefore equitable community of
perfectly sovereign nation-state republics, as the best form of organization
for all humanity presently possible on this planet as a whole. In contrast
to that, the idea of world government, in any form, is an abomination
invoking the Biblical image of a fallen Tower of Babel.

"Contrary to the positions repeatedly asserted, explicity and implicity, by
Vice-President Gore, war is not a license to turn one's own inner sow loose
upon some selected victim, either individual or nation. To use the power of
the state, especially the power of a most powerful state or concert of
states, against any person, government, or nation, to such a purpose as
that, is among the greatest of all capital crimes against humanity, a crime
which must be so judged in practice as much as in expressed opinion. Always
the moral law which Al Gore despises, the natural law embedded in the
distinction between mankind and all other species, is the only rightful law
of and among nations. If we do not enforce that moral law, the present,
increasingly chaos-wracked civilization of this planet will not long outlive
the passing century. (pp. 194-195)


"This same unerstanding of the legacy of feudal tradition even within our
U.S. Federal republic, will make clearer to the sometimes perplexed citizen,
exactly why the military policy of Vice-President Al Gore's Principals
Committee toward the bombing of Iraq, is not only morally and strategically
wrong, but, from a military standpoint, utterly incompetent, even criminally
stupid or insane. (See, Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. Why General Shelton Must
Retire Now," EIR, Jan. 15, 1999.)

What LaRouche says about sub-Saharan Africa can be applied to the
9-11-frameup instigated wars of today:

"The simplest and perhaps most shocking single example, is the inertness of
the consciences of the government of the United States, and also of western
European governments, to the ongoing genocide against black Africans. This
is a Holocaust which continues to rage, spreading from bloody tyrant Yoweri
Museveni's Uganda, throughout more and more of sub-Saharan Africa. This
genocide is procceding chiefly by the continuing instigation of the British
monarcy, but with important participation of Israel's deep-rooted operations
in Africa, and the fully witting complicity of Secretary Madeleine
Albright's and the Principal's Committee's U.S. Department of State. These
governmental agencies are responsible for a continuing toll of more than six
millions black Africans, to date, in a Holocaust which is not only still
ongoing, but is currently being accelerated by those agencies I have named.
What happened to "Never Again!"

" Such shocking events no longer trouble the consciences of the relevant
mass media or governments. How many tens of millions of black Africans must
be murdered by this ongoing genocide, before Madeleine Albright's State
Department will dump Susan Rice and the policy which Rice continues to serve
as guidon?

"Where are Vice-President Al Gore's hypocritical expressions of passion
for "human rights?" What's your problem, Al? ... Does your indifference to
State Department support for genocide in Africa, imply that we must read
your NAFTA policy, as showing, that you view Latin_Americans as essentially
fodder for the slave-labor ovens of the malquiladoras?" (p.201)


"The governemnts of Russia and CHina have shown, in sundry ways, that they
are clearly aware that there is no common ground, ever, with what Gore and
the IMF system represent today. Wall Street and Gore will never give up
their present lunatic ways willinglingly, this side of Hell, or in it. ...
For the present moment, no part of Europe, continental or United Kingdom,
could survive as habitable territories, under the conditions implicit in
continuation of the economic and related policies of the G-7 group. ...
Something will have to break, soon, or else the entire planet or most of it,
will be plunged into a global new dark age, sometime before your teenager
touches adulthood. .. Vice-PResident Al Gore has been a very naughty boy,
very corrupt, using his influence in elected office to further some worse
than dubious sorts of international financial transactions, some involving
sizable amounts offically on record as paid to his personal financial
advantage. [Incidentally, Gore's daughter married into the Schiff merchant
banking family -- perhaps significant in light of his dealings and
not-so-green connections. --DE] (p. 207)


"...subversion of our Constitution, the depravity of the deed has two
leading aspects. a) The Wall-Street-centered financier oligarcy, and its
oligarchical takeover of the state, as from above, as typified by the case
of Vice-President Al Gore's cronies, of the corruption-ridden and
crisis-stricken Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) syndicate. LTCM is at
the core of the Wall Street gang which has assumed the role of a successor
of the roles which the landed aristocracy had defined under the form of
parliamentary systystem derived from feudalism. b) This subversion of the
USA has proceeded in the direction of bringing the U.S., like a hog to the
slaughter, into the Queen's own British Commonwealth, as LTCM-linked
Vice-President Al Gore has promoted changes in teh conception of NAFTA, and
also in his project, steered by the Duke of Edinburgh, which Gore has named
"reinventing government."

"Meanwhile President Clinton had backed down from his earlier implied
promise to address the global financial crisis. A new phase-shift errupted
in the course of the Washington D.C. G-7 conference of October. Reacing to
the implied exposure of Gore's corrupt connections to the LTCM scandal, the
US government unleashed an explosion, chiefly in the effort to cover over
the implications of the mega-scandal at which Gore was near the center."
This led, in turn, to a series of critical developments. These included the
Wye Plantation pressures, by CLinton, on Israel's Prime Minister Bibi
Netanyahu and Henry Kissinger's old West Bank land-scam crony, Ariel Sharon.
The coutneraction against Wye, included a scheme, facilitated by Israeli
agents penetrating Gore's circles of the Principals Committee, pushing for a
new "behavioral modification" bombing of Iraq. President Clinton cancelled
the bombing, but went to Israel, totally unsuccessfully, giving Gore et al.
the opportunity to set the bombing of Iraq back into operation, once again
behind the President's back. Meanwhile, President Clinton's Wye agreement
had been successfully cancelled, by fiat, by Netanyahu and Sharon.
Meanwhile, with hep from Gore's Wall Street cronies, the impeachment process
against President Clinton was escalaed, bringing the unelectable pretender,
scandal-ridden, possibly impeachable Gore, a figurative inch from becoming
President." (p.209) (How is THAT for a different twist? --DE)

" [So the promised era for sane strategy] has been 'suspended for the
duration.' Lame-brained bunglers such as Gore, Cohen, Shelton, Albright, et
al., have no idea what sand-box they might actually be playing in, or no
notion of how to calculate what the actual result of their acting out of
those childish strategic fantasies might be.

================

Only LaRouche among primary candidates for the Democratic nomination for
2004 is telling the truth about 9-11 (it was an inside-job frameup) and
these wars (naked imperialistic aggression).

neo-cons with bi-partisan "progressive" and "conservative" and "liberal"
support did 9-11 and allowed that deception to rationalize naked aggression?

Here is that evidence:
