WikiLeaks – War on Terror No Problem for Israeli Crime Bosses
Major Organized Crime Families Have Been Moving Freely Between Israel and U.S.
Was Loophole Left Open on Purpose?
by Jim W. Dean
“…application of INA 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) against Israeli OC [Organized Crime] is not specifically authorized per Foreign Affairs Manual 40.31 N5.3. As such, Israelis who are known to work for or belong to OC families are not automatically ineligible for travel to the United States. “
I am not making this up folks.
You would think that with all the War on Terror lists, the overseas phone monitoring, emails, Intel sharing…the list goes on and on, that Israeli Organized Crime (OC) families could not travel freely between the U.S. and Israel, but think again.
The new Wikileaks US Embassy in Israel cable (released August 26th) gives you a peek into the gang who can’t shoot straight. Or maybe someone has poor aim on purpose.
We are spending a fortune on Homeland Security and have given up all kinds of freedoms to ‘be safe’. If you or I donate to the wrong charity that has a tangential tie to a listed terrorist group that we did not know about, we can find our selves in a felony prosecution with no premeditation.
Europeans have tens of thousands doing hard time for WWII historical dispute ‘thought crimes’. Yet when it comes to known mobster family law enforcement the cops throws their hands up and claim ‘doo doo happens’
Itzhak Abergil - Ben Gurion Airport - January 12, 2011
That Israel can’t shut down the known crime families in a country deemed the most secure on the planet can only mean that key organized crime people are moonlighting for powerful entities who want the doors left open.
The Israeli tourism minister murdered some years ago was thought to be implicated in their White Slavery trade
It is not a big secret in the trade that big international crime organizations are usually tripping all over themselves to do anything they can for certain Intel agencies for the wonderful get out of jail free card it can bring.
Small fry don’t get these of course. They are for the big boys only.
The Afghanistan drug money has our political system awash with the purchasing of protection money, and the high end crime bosses having the pick of the litter for retiring counter intelligence people looking to make more money than they ever dreamed. And they can do some Intel work for the folks back home on the side.
We just had an example of this done American style with ex-Deputy Secretary of State David Welch, now with the huge Bechtel international contractor, advising indicted war crimes criminal Gaddafi and family on how to defeat NATO, including American service men and women in harm’s way.
Bechtel CEO - David Welch
The captured Gaddafi Intel documents reveal that Welch even suggested laundering what certainly seemed to be a request for negative Intel on the rebels by running it through Israeli Intel so it would sell better on the home front.
If you are wondering I think Welch and Bechtel were offering this assistance for some financial gain, the answer is yes. And I don’t think Welch ever cried himself to sleep one night over it, nor is he now.
There are a lot of hard working cops ( as you will read below) chasing these crime family guys around but they never seem able to deliver the knockout blow. The loophole noted up at the beginning is still open over two years after it was written.
There is a criminal statute, I think they call it ‘theft by conversion’…where someone takes money for a service and then does not provide it, like a home remodeling ‘advance for the materials’ scam.
Folks, besides all the back slapping these security people wear themselves out giving each other, major threats continue because the perps have a lot of political juice.
That is where all the mega criminal activity is now because the ‘safety’ record of virtually no one going to jail is carved in stone. The scandal of the decades long massive Israeli espionage operations here is a glaring example.
I have never heard of a watch list to impede their access here. And yet, the stories of innocent Americans caught up on no fly lists are legendary, as are their tales of trying to be removed…easy to get on but hard to get off.
I included the full cable. I wanted you to see that these embassy people are trying hard…and passing on the full story. But nothing has been done.
Shin Bet Logo
There are many, many security things where nothing has been done, and I pose to you that the same thread would be found in many of them. They have political protection…all that they need.
WikiLeaks Server Bunker - Somewhere in Sweden
For those of you thinking Mr. Jim is going overboard on this, save it for the next one. Israeli Shin Betcan and has tortured Palestinian kids as young as 12 years old, with Supreme Court approval, just to get them to spill the beans on who Uncle Ahmed has been visiting late in the evenings.
They could clean these gangs out in a year…if they wanted to. Someone didn’t want to. But fortunately they are making some progress.
And just like with Gaddafi, when the Bush crowd came in, and Blair, they offered him protection…with a dress on it. Do you think they did that for the goodness of their hearts, or did he give them some things that they really wanted?
And who paid for this largess? Forty thousand detained Libyans are still missing. So who aided and abetted terrorism on a grand scale?
More on the long CIA history with Gaddafi will be coming out. We have already reported here that he was a protege of Richard Helms last week.
How many of you knew part of Gaddafi’s holdings that we are supposed to be keeping in cold storage here is a 30% stake in daddy Bush’s Cargill Corp? Was that same corp that supplied chemical weapons to Saddam to test out on the Kurds? U. S. forces found some of the remnants buried in the Iraqi desert with the labels still on them. So again, who were the aiders and abettors of that terrorism?
It’s a nasty world folks.

WIKILEAKS
A Promised Land for Organized Crime?
Summary
1. (SBU) Organized crime (OC) has longstanding roots in Israel, but in recent years there has been a sharp increase in the reach and impact of OC networks. In seeking a competitive advantage in such lucrative trades as narcotics and prostitution, Israeli crime groups have demonstrated their ability and willingness to engage in violent attacks on each other with little regard for innocent bystanders.
The Israeli National Police (INP) and the courts have engaged in a vigorous campaign against organized crime leaders, including the creation of a new specialized anti-OC unit, but they remain unable to cope with the full scope of the problem. Organized crime in Israel now has global reach, with direct impact inside the United States. Post is currently utilizing all available tools to deny Israeli OC figures access to the United States in order to prevent them from furthering their criminal activities on U.S. soil. End Summary.
Crime War Hits the Streets of Israel
2. (SBU) In November 2008, Israeli crime boss Yaakov Alperon was assassinated in broad daylight in a gruesome attack on the streets of Tel Aviv, only about a mile away from the Embassy. According to several media accounts, a motor scooter pulled up alongside Alperon’s car and the rider attached a sophisticated explosive device with a remote detonator to the car door. The bomb killed Alperon and his driver, and injured two innocent pedestrians. The hit was the latest in a series of violent attacks and reprisals, and indicated a widening crime war in Israel.
3. In July 2008, a 31-year-old Israeli woman was killed by a stray bullet on the beach in Bat Yam in front of her husband and two children during a failed assassination attempt on noted crime figure Rami Amira. In a feud between the Abutbul and Shirazi clans, crime boss Shalom “Charlie” Abutbul was shot by two gunmen in September 2008, an attack that also wounded three bystanders. In December 2008, Charlie Abutbul’s son-in-law, Nati Ohayon, was gunned down in his car in Netanya. Before the fatal bombing of his car, Alperon himself had survived at least three previous attempts on his life before his assassination, and was engaged in an ongoing feud with the rival Abergil clan (although there are numerous suspects in Alperon’s murder). The day after Alperon’s death, two members of the Abergil syndicate were sentenced for conspiring to kill Alperon’s brother, Nissim, in May 2008.
4. (SBU) In response to rising concerns for public safety, former Prime Minister Olmert convened an emergency meeting of top law enforcement officials, cabinet members, and prosecutors in December ¶2008. He promised to add 1,000 officers to the INP and to allocate approximately NIS 340 million (USD 81 million) to improve the INP’s technical capabilities. In general, the rise in OC-related violence has led some public figures to call for emergency state powers to attack criminal organizations, and OC became a minor but important issue in the February 2009 Knesset elections. Former Labor Party MK Ephraim Sneh publicly decried criminal extortion in his campaign ads, only to have his car torched in apparent retaliation outside his home in Herzliya.
Background
5. (SBU) Organized criminal activity is not a new phenomenon in Israel, and major crime families are well known to the Israeli public (the Alperons even featured in a recent reality television program). Five or six crime families have traditionally dominated OC in Israel, although the names and makeup of these syndicates have fluctuated in recent years. The Abergil, Abutbul, Alperon, and Rosenstein organizations are among the most well known, but recent arrests and assassinations have created a power vacuum at the top. New names such as Mulner, Shirazi, Cohen and Domrani have moved quickly to fill the gap. Other up-and-coming groups include the Harari, Ohana, and Kdoshim families. There are also a number of rival families active in the underworld of Israel’s Arab sector.
6. (SBU) Traditional OC activities in Israel include illegal neighborhood casinos, prostitution rings, extortion, and loan sharking, with each family controlling a different geographic region. The Alperon family, for instance, dominates the Sharon region, while the Abutbul operation is based in the coastal city of Netanya. The focus is largely on easy money guaranteed by the limited use of violence. Criminal involvement in the recycling business, for example, has been well covered in the press. OC families collect bottles illegally from municipal recycling bins and restaurants, return them at the collection centers claiming twice the actual numbers, and pocket the change for millions in profits.
Not Your Grandfather’s Mob
7. (SBU) Despite their notoriety, OC figures have generally been viewed as a nuisance to be handled by local police. Law enforcement resources were directed to more existential security threats from terrorists and enemy states. In recent years, however, the rules of the game have changed. According to Yaakov Lappin of the Jerusalem Post, the old school of Israel OC is giving way to a new, more violent, breed of crime. Lappin told conoffs that the new style of crime features knowledge of hi-tech explosives acquired from service in the Israeli Defense Forces, and a willingness to use indiscriminate violence, at least against rival gang leaders. New OC business also includes technology-related crimes, such as stock market and credit card fraud, and operates on a global scale.
8. (SBU) As the reach of Israeli OC has grown, so have the stakes. Crime families are working further from home and exporting violence abroad. Older gambling schemes have grown to include sprawling casino franchises in Eastern Europe. The Abutbul family began its gambling business in Romania over a decade ago, and now owns the Europe-wide Casino Royale network. In 2002, Israeli OC turf wars spilled into Europe when Yaakov Abergil and Felix Abutbul were killed two months apart. Abutbul was gunned down in front of his casino in Prague in a show of force by the Abergils as they attempted to capture a portion of the European gambling market.
9. (SBU) Israeli OC now plays a significant role in the global drug trade, providing both a local consumer market and an important transit point to Europe and the United States. In 2004, Zeev Rosenstein was arrested in Israel for possession of 700,000 ecstasy tablets in his New York apartment, destined for distribution in the U.S. market. He was ultimately extradited to the United States in 2006, where he is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence. Two other crime figures, Meir Abergil and Israel Ozifa, are also facing U.S. extradition charges on charges that include smuggling 100,000 ecstasy tablets into the United States.
10. (SBU) The prostitution business has also grown beyond the neighborhood brothel. In March 2009, the INP arrested twelve suspects in what is believed to be the largest Israeli-led human trafficking network unearthed to date. Ring leader Rami Saban and his associates were charged with smuggling thousands of women from the former Soviet Union and forcing them to work as prostitutes in Israel, Cyprus, Belgium, and Great Britain. Some women were flown to Egypt and smuggled across the Sinai border by Bedouins.
Law Enforcement Steps up the Pressure
11. (SBU) After years of perceived inaction, in 2008 the INP created a new unit called Lahav 433. The elite unit operates under the direct command of the police commissioner, and is charged specifically with infiltrating and eliminating Israel’s major crime syndicates. Lahav 433 also cooperates closely with district investigative units to combat smaller criminal organizations, many of which are aligned with the larger crime families.
12. (SBU) Following Alperon’s assassination, the INP initiated a series of raids that led to the arrests of a number of leading crime figures. Among their targets were Aviv and Adam Abutbul, sons of crime-family head Charlie Abutbul, both charged with possession of illegal weapons. (A third brother, Francois, is already facing murder charges for a nightclub killing in 2004.) Police also arrested gangland figure Amir Mulner for weapons possession and conspiracy to commit a crime. Mulner is known to be an explosives expert by army training, and is a suspect in Yaakov Alperon’s murder. He is also believed to be managing affairs for Rosenstein while the latter serves his sentence in the United States.
13. (SBU) Yaakov Alperon’s brother Nissim was arrested with 18 others in December 2008, in what was reported to be a “mafia meeting” in a Tel Aviv-area caf. According to the Jerusalem Post, the group may have been planning a revenge attack for his brother’s recent assassination. Alperon’s son Dror, recently dismissed from his army service for disorderly behavior, also faces several counts of assault and was convicted on extortion charges. Also in December, police in Netanya launched several raids on illegal gambling houses and the homes of suspected money launderers with ties to the crime families. In Ashdod, brothers Roni and David Harari were arrested on charges of extortion. Regional police stuck a blow against the Jerusalem Gang, and convicted its leader Itzik Bar Muha.
Skepticism Hovers Over GOI Efforts
14. (SBU) Journalist Yuval Goren of Ha’aretz told conoffs that “thousands of foot soldiers” remain active on the streets despite these aggressive anti-OC operations. He noted that approximately 2,000 people attended Alperon’s very public funeral. Goren expressed skepticism that recent arrests will bear fruit in the long term without a sustained commitment to enforcement. He noted that many of the crime leaders remain active while in prison and their operations are not hampered significantly even when they are convicted and jailed.
15. (SBU) In December 2008, former Prime Minister Olmert himself admitted that efforts to combat OC have long been diluted among different agencies, and that INP technology lags far behind that allocated to security services for counterterrorism. Given the recent change in government and the current economic crisis, there is public skepticism as to whether GOI promises to remedy the situation will be fulfilled. In 2003, following a failed assassination attempt on Rosenstein, then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon made similar promises to commit manpower and resources to combating the problem.
16. (SBU) It is not entirely clear to what extent OC elements have penetrated the Israeli establishment and corrupted public officials. The INP insists that such instances are rare, despite the occasional revelation of crooked police officers in the press. Nevertheless, there have been several dramatic revelations in recent years that indicate a growing problem. In 2004, former government minister Gonen Segev was arrested for trying to smuggle thousands of ecstasy pills into Israel, a case that produced considerable circumstantial evidence of his involvement in OC. The election of Inbal Gavrieli to the Knesset in 2003 as a member of Likud raised concerns about OC influence in the party’s Central Committee. Gavrieli is the daughter of a suspected crime boss, and she attempted to use her parliamentary immunity to block investigations into her father’s business. (Gavrieli is no longer a member of the Knesset.) Just last month, Israeli politicos and OC figures came together for the funeral of Likud party activist Shlomi Oz, who served time in prison in the 1990s for extortion on behalf of the Alperon family. Among those in attendance was Omri Sharon, son of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who was himself convicted in 2006 on illegal fundraising charges unrelated to OC.
Courts Testing New Powers
17. (SBU) In 2003, the GOI passed anti-OC legislation that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment for heading a criminal organization and three years for working in such an organization. The law defines such a body as a group of people working in an “organized, methodical and ongoing pattern to commit offenses that are defined by the laws of Israel as crimes.” The law also allows for property forfeiture, both in the wake of conviction and in cases where it is proven to belong to a criminal organization.
18. (SBU) Until recently, said Lappin, judges and lawyers have been slow to make use of this authority, and are hampered by a lack of resources, insufficient understanding of the tools at their disposal, and reticence to mete out tough sentences. A witness protection program for those who testify against OC is just now getting off the ground, and is not backed by any specific legislation. Nevertheless, on March 16th, a Tel Aviv district court took the important step of sentencing 14 convicted criminals belonging to two mob organizations in Ramle and Jaffa to up to 27 years in prison.
19. (SBU) Increased efforts by Israeli authorities to combat OC have engendered retaliatory threats of violence. Recent press reports indicate that as many as 10 Israeli judges are currently receiving 24-hour protection by the police against the threat of violence from members of crime organizations. Israeli OC appears to be intent on intimidating judges personally, as a way of influencing the legal process. Judges in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa have been assigned police protection, underscoring the depth of the problem.
Israeli Crime Reaches American Shores
20. (SBU) Israel’s multi-ethnic population provides a deep well of opportunity for Israeli OC to expand into new territory. Most Israeli crime families trace their roots to North Africa or Eastern Europe, and many of their Israeli operatives hold foreign passports allowing them to move freely in European countries, most of which participate in the visa waiver program with the United States. Approximately one million Russians moved to Israel following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and Russian citizens no longer require visas to enter Israel. Many Russian oligarchs of Jewish origin and Jewish members of OC groups have received Israeli citizenship, or at least maintain residences in the country. Little is known about the full extent of Russian criminal activity in Israel, but sources in the police estimate that Russian OC has laundered as much as USD 10 billion through Israeli holdings. While most Israeli OC families are native-born and the stereotype that Russian immigrants tend to be mobsters is greatly overblown, indigenous OC groups routinely employ “muscle” from the former Soviet Union.
21. (SBU) The profit motive serves as a great unifier among Israel’s diverse demographic groups. According to Goren, some Amsterdam-based Hasidic groups allegedly are implicated in international drug smuggling through links to Israeli OC. Arab and Jewish Israeli criminals routinely cooperate and form alliances to expand control of lucrative drug, car theft and extortion rackets. Even hostile and closed borders pose few obstacles to OC groups. According to the INP, 43% of intercepted heroin in 2008 was smuggled from Lebanon, 37% from Jordan, and 12% from Egypt.
Israeli OC Operating Freely in United States
22. (SBU) Given the volume of travel and trade between the United States and Israel, it is not surprising that Israeli OC has also gained a foothold in America. Over the last decade, media reports have detailed a number of high-profile cases involving Israeli OC, ranging from large-scale drug deals to murder. The ongoing Central District of California grand jury investigation against the Abergil family, where a RICO conspiracy case was initiated in December 2007, best demonstrates the full extent of such criminal activity. Investigators have linked Yitzhak Abergil and his entire network to crimes of “embezzlement, extortion, kidnapping, and money laundering.” Yitzhak Abergil is currently under arrest in Israel and facing extradition for related charges linking him to the murder of Israeli drug dealer Samy Attias on U.S. soil.
23. (SBU) As part of an ongoing effort to track Israeli OC through media reports and police sources, Post so far has identified 16 families and 78 related individuals who are at the center of Israeli organized criminal activity. The consular section has revoked several visas for those who have been convicted of crimes in Israel, but many OC figures have no prior criminal convictions and carry no visa ineligibilities. As a result, many hold valid nonimmigrant visas to the United States and have traveled freely or attempted to travel for a variety of purposes.
24. (SBU) In March 2009, Post received information from law enforcement authorities that convicted criminal and member of the Abergil organization, Mordechai Yair Hasin, along with his pregnant wife and child, was intending to flee Israel for Los Angeles on valid tourist visas. Hasin’s visa was revoked based on his conviction, as were his family’s visas after they were determined to be intending immigrants.
25. (SBU) As in the Hasin case, Post is using every available tool to limit OC travel to the United States, but such efforts are not always successful. In June 2008, Post issued Adam Abitbul a valid tourist visa. Abitbul had no prior criminal convictions, and carried no visa ineligibilities. Several months later, Post received information from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) that he had traveled to the United States to carry out a hit. Abitbul returned to Israel prematurely for his father’s funeral, at which time Post revoked his visa. (Post can only revoke the visas of Israeli citizens while in country.) In a similar case, in October 2008 Post issued Moshe Bar Muha a tourist visa; he claimed to be traveling for medical treatment. Post subsequently received information from the LAPD that Bar Muha is in fact the brother of Itzik Bar Muha of the Jerusalem Gang (see above) and a convicted criminal.
26. (SBU) As recently as March 2009, Zvika Ben Shabat, Yaacov Avitan, and Tzuri Rokah requested visas to attend a “security-related convention” in Las Vegas. According to local media reports, all three had involvement with OC. Post asked the applicants to provide police reports for any criminal records in Israel, but without such evidence there is no immediate ineligibility for links to OC. Luckily, all three have so far failed to return for continued adjudication of their applications. Nevertheless, it is fair to assume that many known OC figures hold valid tourist visas to the United States and travel freely.
Comment: Israeli OC Slipping Through the Consular Cracks
27. (SBU) Given the growing reach and lethal methods of Israeli OC, blocking the travel of known OC figures to the United States is a matter of great concern to Post. Through collaboration with Israeli and U.S. law enforcement authorities, Post has developed an extensive database and placed lookouts for OC figures and their foot soldiers. Nevertheless, the above visa cases demonstrate the challenges that have arisen since the termination of the Visas Shark in September 2008. Unlike OC groups from the former Soviet Union, Italy, China, and Central America, application of INA 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) against Israeli OC is not specifically authorized per Foreign Affairs Manual 40.31 N5.3. As such, Israelis who are known to work for or belong to OC families are not automatically ineligible for travel to the United States.

Jews have run organized crime since at least the 20s. It’s one of the key parts of this massive and diabolical conspiracy. Of course “they” have been intentionally misrepresenting the mob as an Italian led and operated enterprise. Anyone that has done any light research into the mafia knows that the picture painted by the Jewish media is nonsense…another massive psyops brought to you by the ‘Jewish community’.
I actually just reread Final Judgement and Supermob: How Sidney Korshak and His Criminal Associates Became America’s Hidden Power Brokers. Hurricane Irene knocked my electricity out for a few days so I went ‘old school’ and actually read books.
——————————————————————————————————————————.
In his book called “My Life as a Radical Lawyer,” (1994) written by big-time ’60′s radical and Jew, William Kunstler relates that Rubenstein(Jack Ruby) told him before dying:
“I did this that they wouldn’t implicate Jews.”
And right before he leaves on his last visit, Rubenstein hands Kuntsler a note that reiterated his motive. It read:
“Protect American Jews from a pogrom that could occur because of anger over the assassination.”
———————————————————————————————————————————-
THE LANSKY SYNDICATE(from:Final Judgement by Micheal Collins Piper)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DSJ0MPR0
Meyer Lansky – Chief executive officer and de facto “treasurer” of the international crime syndicate; active in gun-running on behalf of the Israeli underground; collaborated closely with American intelligence on a number of fronts; later settled in Israel. Researchers who have claimed that “the Mafia Killed JFK” have pointedly refused to acknowledge Lansky’s preeminent positioning in the underworld.
Carlos Marcello – The head of the Mafia in New Orleans, Marcello owed his status to Meyer Lansky who was his chief sponsor in the crime syndicate. Marcello could not have orchestrated the JFK assassination-as some suggest-without Lansky’s explicit approval.
Seymour Weiss – Meyer Lansky’s chief bagman and liaison with the political establishment in Louisiana, he later served as a director of the CIA-linked Standard Fruit company and may actually have been a high-ranking CIA contract operative in New Orleans at the time of the JFK assassination.
Sam Giancana – The Mafia boss of Chicago, Giancana was a player in the CIA-Mafia plots against Castro; later murdered, probably at the behest of Santo Trafficante, Jr. His family says that Giancana admitted having been involved in the planning of the JFK assassination.
Santo Trafficante, Jr. – Although best known as the head of the Mafia in Tampa, Trafficante actually functioned as Meyer Lansky’s chief lieutenant in the crime syndicate and as Lansky’s liaison with the CIA in the Castro assassination plots.
Johnny Rosselli – A roving “ambassador” for the Mafia, Rosselli was the primary conduit between the CIA and the mob in the plots against Fidel Castro; may have arranged the murder of Sam Giancana for Trafficante and was later murdered himself.
Mickey Cohen – Meyer Lansky’s West Coast henchman; Jack Ruby’s role model and a gun-runner for the Israeli underground, Cohen collaborated closely with Israeli diplomat Menachem Begin prior to the JFK assassination;. Cohen arranged for John F. Kennedy to meet actress Marilyn Monroe who was assigned the task of finding out JFK’s private views and intentions toward Israel.
Jack Ruby – A long-time functionary for the Lansky syndicate, Ruby was the Lansky connection man in Dallas and also engaged in CIA-linked gunrunning to the anti-Castro Cuban exiles. Evidence suggests there is more to Ruby’s sudden “death” than meets the eye.
Jim Braden – A veteran personal courier for Meyer Lansky, Braden was almost assuredly in contact in Dallas with Jack Ruby prior to the JFK assassination. He was briefly detained in Dealey Plaza minutes after the president’s murder, but those JFK assassination researchers who have mentioned Braden prefer to cast him as a “Mafia” figure rather than as Lansky’s man on the scene in Dallas.
Al Gruber – A henchman of Meyer Lansky’s West Coast operative, Mickey Cohen, Gruber and Ruby spoke by telephone just shortly before Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald. It is believed that Gruber gave Ruby the contract on Oswald on behalf of his superiors.
In his book called “My Life as a Radical Lawyer,” (1994) written by big-time ’60′s radical and Jew, William Kunstler relates that Rubenstein told him before dying:
“I did this that they wouldn’t implicate Jews.”
And right before he leaves on his last visit, Rubenstein hands Kuntsler a note that reiterated his motive. It read:
“Protect American Jews from a pogrom that could occur because of anger over the assassination.”
Louis M. Bloomfield – Based in Montreal, Bloomfield was a long-time intelligence operative and a front man for the powerful Bronfman family interests. The Bronfmans were not only key international backers of Israel but also long-time figures in the Lansky crime syndicate. Bloomfield, one of the foremost figures in the Israeli lobby in Canada and one of Israel’s leading international operatives, not only served as the chief shareholder in the Permindex Corporation on whose board of directors Clay Shaw served, but also had intimate ties to American intelligence.
Tibor Rosenbaum – One of the “godfathers” of the state of Israel and the first director for finance and supply for Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, Rosenbaum was a prime financial angel behind the Permindex corporation. His Swiss banking concern, the Banque De Credit International, also served as the chief European money laundry or the global crime syndicate of Miami-based crime chief Meyer Lansky.
John King – A close business associate of Tibor Rosenbaum’s protégé and sometime front man, Bernard Cornfeld, King showed up in New Orleans in the early stages of Jim Garrison’s investigation-before Clay Shaw’s name had come up-and sought to persuade Garrison (through a bribery attempt) to give up the inquiry. Fortunately he failed in his scheme.
Luis Kutner – Although known largely as a “mob lawyer,” (who was long and closely associated with Jack Ruby, a sometime-client) Kutner also doubled as an international intelligence operative and functioned as an advisor to an ad hoc pro-Israel lobby group in the United States.
A. L. Botnick – Head of the New Orleans office of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B’nai B’rith, an intelligence and propaganda arm for Israel’s Mossad; a close associate of New Orleans-based CIA contract operative Guy Banister who helped create Lee Harvey Oswald’s preassassination profile as a “pro-Castro” agitator. Evidence suggests that Banister’s manipulation of Oswald may have been carried out under the guise of an ADL “fact-finding” operation.
Arnon Milchan – Israel’s biggest arms dealer, Milchan was “executive producer” (i.e. chief financial angel) of Oliver Stone’s Hollywood fantasy about the JFK assassination-a fact which may explain Stone’s aversion to exploring the Israeli connection to the affair.
Maurice Tempeisman – The international diamond merchant and Mossad operative who became the lover of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and used his connections to double-perhaps triple-her substantial fortune, thereby co-opting the Kennedy family forever.
I might ad on Knustler that he later admitted that he hid some of the Weatheman fugitives out with his children.
J Edgar Hoover gave them the soft glove treatment because he knew they had a lot of political protection (mentioned above), the usual local stuff and he did not want to rock the boat in that swamp with the unions and casinos. He also knew the CIA used them for things. Chasing bank robbers, WWII Germans and Cold War spies was safer politically and got him more headlines.
I don’t think that Maurice Tempeisman got any of Jackie or the kid’s trust money. Joe Kennedy’s lawyers covered all the bases as ‘marital problems’ were to be expected in that bunch. She was the diamond on his finger. But after the Onasis fiasco the bloom was off her rose garden.
Just a sad situation all around, with Jack making pimps out of the Secret Service to bring the babes right into the Whitehouse. They prefered that to the security liaisons of hotels and outside love nests. And then what they did with poor unstable Marilyn Monroe.
I am from Massachusetts and I thought the family dishonored all of us, and could not understand the selective memories of people, particularly the ones where the aliens had not stolen their brains yet. Later I understood it for what it was…a cult…much like the Warren Jeffs supporters…one flick of the switch and it’s Jim Jones koolaid time. I’m more scared of the radical evangelicals that the Jihadiis.
Yeah, the Kennedy’s were certainly not choir boys. I just think that Joe Sr had a plan to get rid of the Jewish crime syndicate. He told his sons to get along with the Jews and work with them untill it was time to drop the hammer and expose them. I think the Irish are on par with the Jews in terms of cunning and political intrigue. They just don’t have the ethnic cohesion and power that the Jews have.
Anyways, Joe Sr made sure that his sons were Jew wise and encouraged them to gain the tribe’s support for their political campaigns.. .When the time was right, JFK would double cross the Jews and shut down all of their sources of power. It was a bold and brilliant plot by the Kennedys and they almost pulled it off.
The world would be in a much better place if the Kennedy’s pulled off their coup… imo.
btw, I don’t think Piper was saying the Maurice Tempeisman took Kennedy money, rather Maurice Tempeisman made Jackie much richer. In other words, they were buttering Jackie O’s( the Kennedy’s) bread and she remained silent to protect her children from harm. As a mother she would have wanted to make sure her children were taken care of for the rest of their lives.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply Mr Jim. Keep up the great work.
Kuntsler believed and had the courage of his convictions. Not only did he hid weatherman, he hid Tony Russo (the copier of the Pentagon Papers). I know that because I was hiding Tony in my home until we got found out…and my friend and I delivered him to Kuntsler Village Apt while awaiting a press conference. The NYTimes held those papers for 18 months, while tony and Dan were on the run. Thank God for Wikileaks and Anonyous and other groups who are getting these documents out to the public. I recall reading here that you all thought Assange was a mossad spy. Will you at least correct that. Not only has he delivered the Palestine Papers but other documents re: Israel.
Ah this VT site…nothing but spooks, spies and ner-do-wells.
We never said that Assange was mossad…but specifically that it was an intel operation as part of the run up to get the attack on Iran going…and the Intel drop was seeded as Brezinski and many others spotted early on.
It was easy for us as we had Iraq and Aghanistan contractor staff people who actually wrote a lot of the reports and the spotted right away that material had been censored out, like the Israeli agents running around creating havoc, including shooting coalition troops, and any mention of the drug dealing problem with contractors involved and you know who.
We knew right a away that only a major intelligence group could be doing something like that. Then the Israeli papers had their top officials admitting that they had met with Assange and they were going to be ‘OK’. We got savaged by many on the left that we popped their baloon, but it was what it was.
Now the dummies have released all their sources and they are up the creek.
I agree with your analysis. The stuff that’s coming out now is the rest of the wikileaks team scrambling to stay relevant.
Wikileaks= Mossad/American sayanim in the US media’s controlled psyop to attack NATO/destabilize the middle east/deflect criticism away from Israel and direct it onto America….cuz most Americans and Europeans think of American policy being directed by some secretive WASP elite.(Not the Jews)
Jewish run alternative media has been working hard on this psyop since the late 90′s. See Infowars.com and Webster Tarpley.
Wikileaks=Fail
I have been screaming about this since the summer of 2010. Ask Gordon.
I’ve been screaming about this since I worked in Hollyweird in the 1980′s. But hell, this has been in the making in this country since the Protocols of Zion (1870′s) and the first zionist congress, 1898, at least. Maybe since Alexander Hamilton, Jew, became the first Treasury Secretary.
They may be relentless, but they sure are evil.
Hamilton should have been hanged, drawn and quartered, not shot
This is because the US is spending all of its homeland security funding and time on looking at Muslims. They are not looking at the people who really did 9/11 or maybe they are looking at them, but don’t want to round them all up until they know the names of all the people involved and how they were involved and have a water tight case.
“israel” is a crime scheme masquerading as a religion.
