EUSTACE MULLINS v. ADL B'NAI B'RITH
It is difficult to comment on all the items which are brought before me for comment so please be patient with us while we take that which would do the most "overall good" in the presenting.
NORD DAVIS--BO GRITZ OUESTIONS
One major question I am asked revolves around Bo Gritz and Nord Davis and connections. Of course there are connections, Nord has written extensively about SPIKE training, etc. Further, he was to be the Secretary of Defense/Military in Bo's cabinet if Bo had been elected. I would guess that is a pretty good indication of the closeness of the two individuals. What you cannot know is the extent of what is known about the other--but then, you really can't know TOO MUCH about anyone, can you?
The point here, however, is to extend the discussions of the ADL because of the recent upheavals in the Islam community (Black community) and the ADL, along with the unfortunate turn of events in the "Holy Lands" and all the way back to the United States where Jews are now killing each other. Father in heaven, can you not see that handwriting on the wall, sleepy babes? Did you not have opportunity to watch Ancient Prophecies last evening on the TV vidiot-box? Will "those" things come to pass as presented? IF YOU ALLOW IT!
So why Eustace Mullins again? Because Eustace Mullins has given your nation of sleeping citizens MORE INFORMATION on the sad state of affairs in your nation than ANY OTHER ONE PERSON ON YOUR GLOBE--AND IT AIN'T "PROPHESY"--IT IS TRUTH IN ACTION AND DELIBERATE AND OVERWHELMING FORCE POWER AGAINST YOU AS WE-THE-PEOPLE OF YOUR ONCE GREAT NATION--AND ACTUALLY, THE WORLD! IF YOU WOULD BUT STUDY IT. His presentations are ALWAYS drawn from pure study and research and yet he is ignored in all his efforts save by the most tiny FEW. Well, I suggest we put a stop to that!
Constantly new readers ask, "Who the Hell is this Hatonn?" It makes NO DIFFERENCE as to "who" is Hatonn. It does make a difference TO YOU, who is God--Hatonn is of no real consequence.
The point is, I am a very good reviewer of truth in publication, presentation and TRUTH. So, if I be correct in my presentations--it matters not WHO BRINGS IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. If not, then cast it in the trash and you have made your comments on the ones first presenting the information unto you. So far, I have been correct in choices 100% of the time so in Bo Gritz's definition I suppose I COULD be called a "prophet"--but I doubt it!
If, further, we present incorrect information regarding that which is presented to us--WHERE DO YOU SUPPOSE IT COMES FROM? For instance, Sir Gritz now complains and whines that the media and press is giving him a really bad "rap" about his activities--even to the Associated Press. It seems he didn't mind blurting out LIES about the Ekkers (specifically dealing with one criminal, Luke Perry) presented in the Associated Press and carried all over the world. Sir Gritz, however, didn't even get the numbers repeated correctly from the news articles by some $140,000. That would seem to be quite a difference in accuracy even if the original was given in truth. The FACTS ARE that one Luke Perry has always been simply efforting to get his step-mother's retirement funds away from her! He has been put down by the courts and his badgering, associated with others, to destroy the Ekkers is only to be considered a "conspiracy" to destroy both the Phoenix Institute of Research and Education, Ltd. (A NEVADA CORPORATION) AND THE EKKERS, PERSONALLY! Mr. Perry's further efforts have been to change the corporate laws of Nevada to suit his needs. I hardly think that, since incorporations are a major focus of Nevada, that will happen very quickly. It is for protection of the corporation in circumstances EXACTLY like this one that caused the "Institute" in point to incorporate in the State of Nevada. What I want to point out, however, is that somehow the sauce for the goose is not desired sauce for the gander?? These are pretty serious MISTAKES to make on national and syndicated radio programming. Sir Gritz's programs are offered all over--even in the State of California--Delano, for one such station. Delano is very, very close in proximity to Bakersfield which is in very close proximity to Tehachapi and the Ekkers! These broadcasts have brought down all sorts of misery and investigations against the Ekkers. This is aided and abetted by such as De Mar (who is believed to be residing in a tent or small camper in Sedona, Arizona) sending out documents to a listing of people associated with Ekkers asking that they file formal complaints against them with the FEDS! I suggest that this is harassment, among other unmentioned CRIMES. De Mar even misnames the principles involved making any participant look a total FOOL, perhaps to match his own status.
Of course the chuckle of the year was De Mar's turning in of the Ekkers to the Food Stamp Program for fraud, based on the allegations that "The gold in dispute was Ekkers' and "I" (George Green) bought it from them. I (George Green) paid them $250,000, $125,000 and $100,000 for it and have the cancelled checks to prove it." Somehow those cancelled checks are now missing! This is the same man who has at least FIVE other stories about the gold including "buying it from himself". Checks? Come, come, Mr. Green and Mr. De Mar.
MY PURPOSE IS TO CALL YOU TO AN AWAKENING SO THAT YOU TAKE NOTE OF TRUTH UPON AND WITHIN YOUR VERY LIFE EXISTENCE AS YOU PERCEIVE IT TO BE HAPPENING. WHAT YOU ARE GIVEN TO SEE IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING. THEREFORE, WHO "I" AM IS OF LITTLE CONCERN AND THE ARGUMENTS AND DEBATES SHOULD BE OVER THE CONTENTS OF THE INFORMATION--NOT HOW AND WHO PRESENTS IT TO YOU! CONTINUE IN YOUR SILLY ARGUMENTS AND ASSAULTS AND YOU WILL SURELY MISS YOUR LIFEBOAT! WHEN YOU ARE DROWNING AND GO DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME AND A BOAT PULLS UP TO PULL YOU ABOARD DO YOU FIRST INQUIRE, "WHO IS THE CAPTAIN?" AND IS HE POSSIBLY USING A BORROWED BOAT?? I THINK NOT--YOU'LL GET ABOARD AND SORT THE REST AT LEISURE. YOU WOULDN'T EVEN ASK IF THE BOAT IS CARRYING CONTRABAND OR DRUGS AND MIGHT BE CONFISCATED--SO I SUGGEST YOU QUESTION THE ONES WHO BRING SUITS AND ASSAULTS AGAINST THIS RESOURCE RATHER THAN CONTINUE TO PULL DOWN AND DENOUNCE THE "BRINGERS" TO LIGHT THE TRUTH SO THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER IT. IF YOU WANT THE FULL DISSERTATION FROM THE TRUTH WRITERS--GO GET THEIR BOOKS AND WRITINGS!! WE WILL, IN EVERY POSSIBLE INSTANCE, GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION--BUT REMEMBER SOMETHING: WE ARE CONTINUALLY UNDER TOTAL ATTACK HERE WHERE THIS IS PUT FORTH AND MOST OF THE TIME INFORMATION IS SENT WITHOUT IDENTIFICATION FOR PROTECTION OF THE SENDERS--AS REQUESTED BY THEMSELVES! I WILL FIRST HONOR THE SECURITY OF ANY CORESPONDENT--EVERY TIME!
We are in great gratitude to one who uses an alias name of Rick Webber, in service to George Green, for his comprehensive search for authors from whom we have printed work. He has reviewed by computer all those references and added appropriate information as to addresses, etc. He fleshed out that which my writers had no knowledge at writing or any knowledge of the very act of reviews. The publisher is responsible for all such indiscretions and in our instance we obviously had a publisher who would effort to destroy the persons presenting--and take the gain for self. Mr. Webber has done us a great service and we shall be happy to utilize his reference work when we are able to index all the JOURNAL issues. Back "review" magazines, however, are of little value for they are dated material as in "newspaper" and become relics within mere weeks, losing all value as a commercial commodity (which we have never touted) very quickly. The VALUE can only be identified and measured by the individual receiving and none other. With the millions of volumes of words put to press to boggle the mind--I doubt our little impact will do much to bring pain to any writer. If we use material it is because we consider it worthy IN TRUTH, IN FACT, or fully representative of the LIE! If, in fact, we are so discounted as Sir Gritz suggests, who in the world could we be damaging? I would suggest that you send US&P and Binder a bill for advertising. Firstly, I pronounced the work of Walter Russell--scientific truth! Next, through the very words of Binder to the nation on Bo Gritz's airwaves, HE SAID THE WORK HAD BEEN VIRTUALLY UNKNOWN SINCE THE WRITING WAS DONE SOME FIFTY YEARS AGO--ONLY TO RESURFACE WITH "OUR" "PLAGIARISM"(???) IS THIS, THEN, "DAMAGE"? Since US&P seems to offer some dozen or more commercial programs and WE RECEIVE NOTHING AND HAVE NO PROGRAMS AT ALL, would it not appear that the "unfair competition" is a bit "much" as charged in a court of law? So be it.
BACK TO MULLINS
Some while back we offered a copy of a lawsuit brought against the ADL B'nai B'rith by Eustace Mullins. In case you have forgotten or missed it, I ask that reference be given for that original document but continue with the "Amended Complaint" herein (Published in the Vol 4, #1 front page of CONTACT and JOURNAL #85.) Then please follow-on with the rest of the documentation included.
I don't believe Eustace Mullins cares much about "who is that bird" here for he is far too intelligent to misunderstand an effort at truth-bringing and building of a resource to assist such as him other than in a pit full of sympathy but no ability to help from the populace. We will do what we CAN and when there is funding available will help more abundantly --however, the point is to DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND CAN USE. In this instance, as with other situations, publicity is that which we CAN offer.
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
EUSTACE C. MULLINS, Plaintiff,
v.
ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE
OF B'NAI B'RITH, Defendant
Civil Action No. 93-2497
AMENDED COMPLAINT
Parties
1. Plaintiff, Eustace C. Mullins, appearing for himself as Pro Propria personae, is a citizen in good standing of the State of Virginia, of the United States of America, residing at 126 Madison Place, Staunton, Virginia 24401.
2. Defendant, the Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai B'Rith, is an international intelligence and espionage group for the State of Israel, acting as the central intelligence agency for hundreds of Zionist activist and lobbying groups tax exempted by the government of the United States to illegally represent the State of Israel as unregistered foreign agents. Address is 1100 Connecticut Ave. N.W., Washington, District of Columbia, 20036.
Jurisdiction
3. This court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to USC 18-1961, 1963, 1965 (a) (b) (c) (d); USC 28-1331, 1332, 1343; USC 28-534; USC 42-1981, 1983, 1985, and the Constitution of the United States, First and Sixth Amendments.
Facts
4. Plaintiff respectfully alleges that said defendant has for almost half a century waged an ongoing campaign of harassment, intimidation and terrorism against plaintiff and against members of plaintiff's family.
5. Defendant has throughout this cited period maintained files on plaintiff, a private citizen, in violation of plaintiff's right to privacy. Defendant has monitored plaintiffs speeches, articles and books, maintained surveillance of plaintiff, authored vicious attacks against plaintiff and circulated these attacks nationally, and furnished newspapers, agencies, and officials with false material designed to injure and defame plaintiff.
6. Defendant's ostensible reason for committing these crimes against plaintiff was its claim that plaintiff represented a threat to the Jewish community in the United States, and that plaintiff was a vicious "anti-Semite". Plaintiff will prove to a jury that these claims are totally false. Far from being an "anti-Semite", plaintiff is a DIRECT descendent of Shem, founder of the Shemite or Semitic line, and could hardly be anti-himself. Throughout the period that defendant has been committing these crimes against plaintiff in its ongoing conspiracy against plaintiff, plaintiff was working closely with many outstanding righteous intellectual Jewish leaders throughout the United States to free the Jewish community of the United States from the heavy hand of defendant and its allies, the gangster element of the Jewish people.
7. Defendant's ongoing conspiracy against plaintiff originated from racial and religious bias, prejudice and hatred of plaintiff.
8. Throughout the period of defendant's ongoing conspiracy against plaintiff, defendant acted overtly to prevent plaintiff from circulating his writings, or to receive income from his writings, as overt censorship and intimidation. Defendant caused an entire edition of plaintiff's books to be burned in Germany during the United States military occupation of that nation. Defendant repeatedly had plaintiff discharged from well-paying jobs, including a position on the staff of the Library of Congress, the American Petroleum Institute, and the Chicago Motor Club, Rule 8a, which requires a short, plain statement of the facts, precludes plaintiff from listing in this amended complaint all of the crimes committed against plaintiff by said defendant, but plaintiff is prepared to present to a jury complete documentation of the ongoing role played by said defendant in its ongoing conspiracy. Although plaintiff is only one of thousands of innocent Americans who have been victimized by the vicious conspiracies of said defendant, plaintiff has been for many years considered the No. 1 target of defendant because of his investigative researches into defendant's criminal activities, which have been front page news in the national press for many months.
9. Defendant has carried on this campaign of hatred against plaintiff as part of its illegal activities in representing the State of Israel in the United States, in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Title 22 U.S. Code 611 et seq. which provides criminal penalties for failure of propagandists and others active in this country on behalf of foreigners to file highly detailed registration statements with the Attorney General, to file copies of all political propaganda, however disguised, and to label all such propaganda conspicuously, and to keep and reveal records of their activities.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff's civil rights, freedom of speech and family having been injured by defendant, plaintiff suffering therefrom severe deprivation, emotional shock, intense mental stress, and placed in fear of his life over a period of many years by defendant's incitement of hate crimes against him, plaintiff demands judgment against defendant in the sum of sixty million dollars ($60,000,000.00) for defendant's knowing and willful acts to injure him, and punitive damages in the sum of sixty million dollars ($60,000,000.00) for defendant's malicious and intentional crimes and conspiracies to defame and injure plaintiff, and that plaintiff shall have such and other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper, together with costs and disbursements of this action.
10. Plaintiff demands trial by jury.
Respectfully submitted,
Eustace C. Mullins

EUSTACE MULLINS v. ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE
OF B'NAI B'RITH
Update of February 20, 1994
by
EUSTACE MULLINS
The historic lawsuit which Eustace Mullins filed in the Federal Court in the District of Columbia December 7, 1993, asking one hundred million dollars in damages has been met by the usual response from the defendants; a Motion to Dismiss. Every lawsuit which Mullins has filed in the past forty years has been met with the same response. There has never been any denial of the facts which, in law, are thus admitted. The Motion to Dismiss is always based on some technical grounds invoked by the private lawyers and judges club. Mullins, representing himself as Pro Propria personae, in his Proper Person, is an intruder in this swank private club and he is fortunate not to be arrested for trespassing because he does not have a membership card in good standing. Like most Americans, Mullins is barred from the courts unless he agrees to resign all of his Constitutional rights and turn over his complaint to a lawyer, who will charge him a substantial fee for becoming his attorney of record, and who will charge him many thousands of dollars to lose the case.
Congressman George Hansen is again in Federal prison at Petersburg, Virginia because he has always paid for the best legal talent that money could buy. He has also been convicted every time he has gone to court. Lyndon LaRouche recently was released after spending five years in prison on trumped up charges. He paid his lawyers millions of dollars; in return, they ensured that he would be convicted. The terms of his probation will probably prevent him from engaging in any serious political activity.
The Anti-Defamation League attorneys, Arent, Fox, Plotkin and Kahn, who occupy swank offices across the street from the Anti-Defamation League on Connecticut Ave. NW, in Washington D.C., just across the street from the lobbyists' favorite hangout, the plush Mayflower Hotel, contacted Mullins by telephone late one night. The lady lawyer stated she did not have time to work on the case and asked for a one month's extension of time from the December 27, 1993 deadline to answer. Mullins replied this would conflict with his speaking tour. The lawyer then wrote him a letter on December 17 that he had indeed agreed to the extension of time. Mullins then filed a letter with the court that he had not agreed to such an extension and had objected to it. The Anti-Defamation League went into default on this one hundred million dollars on December 27, 1993. On December 30, the lawyers filed a Motion for Enlargement of Time with the court. Mullins was not mailed a copy of this motion and had no opportunity to respond or object to it. On January 7, 1994, Judge Harold Greene gave the Anti-Defamation League an order allowing them to answer by Jan. 24th, 1994, although they were already in default. Mullins received a copy of the order, and promptly notified the court he had not received the defendant's Motion, NOTICE OF NON RECEIPT OF DEFENDANT'S PLEADINGS.
On January 24, the Anti-Defamation League filed its Motion to Dismiss. The lawyers added a Motion to Strike the Allegations of the complaint, which they described as "impertinent and scandalous" citing par. 10 of the complaint that the ADL had committed the crime of genocide against plaintiff. Art. II Genocide Act "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical or religious group...causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group." Plaintiff cited this in referring to the numerous times that the ADL had had him fired from well-paying jobs, preventing him from marrying or raising a family. The ADL was scandalized by this well-documented claim.
In an answering Motion to Deny Defendant's Motion to Strike Allegations, Mullins began his Motion to Deny with this paragraph:
"Plaintiff is impressed by defendant's chutzpah in characterizing selected paragraphs of plaintiffs complaint as "impertinent, scandalous matter", this coming from an organization which for more than a year has been pilloried on the front pages of the nation's press for its role in bribing public officials, stealing police files, and which now faces many lawsuits from outraged citizens because of its scandalous activities in spying upon them and interfering in their private lives."
The many facts cited in the complaint were taken from dated issues of the Washington Post and other establishment media, yet the ADL denounced these facts as "devoid of credulity". The ADL's motion to dismiss denounced Mullins' complaint as "a rambling, disconnected and incoherent tale of treachery and deceit". The ADL also denounced Mullins' application of RICO (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations) to this complaint because of the ADL's long and notorious associations with the Mafia, including its control by Meyer Lansky and Moe Dalitz for many years. [H: All you good readers with me so far? Sound familiar?]
It remains to be seen whether this hysterical invective from the ADL will influence Judge Harold Greene, famed for his historic breakup of American Telephone and Telegraph Co. Leftwing apologists had been embarrassed for many years by the fact that the United States had the world's most efficient telephone system, and the Soviet Union had the worst. Although Judge Greene's decision did nothing to improve the Soviet telephone system, it did succeed in doubling the average monthly telephone bill of every American citizen.
Although Mullins cited almost a half century of the ADL's ongoing conspiracy against him, the ADL ignored this and attacked a number of Mullins' paragraphs of his complaint as being invalid under the statute of limitations. One of the established principles of law is that there is no statute of limitations on conspiracy.
Mullins has now filed his Amended Complaint. In par. 5 he states,, Defendant has throughout this cited period maintained files on plaintiff, a private citizen, in violation of plaintiff's right to privacy. Defendant has monitored plaintiff's speeches, articles and books, maintained surveillance of plaintiff, authored vicious attacks against plaintiff, and furnished newspapers, agencies and officials with false material designed to injure and defame plaintiff.
"Par. 6. Defendant's ostensible reason for committing these crimes against plaintiff was its claim that plaintiff represented a threat to the Jewish community in the United States, and that Plaintiff was a vicious 'anti-Semite'. Plaintiff will prove to a jury that these claims are totally false. Far from being an 'anti-Semite', plaintiff is a direct descendant of Shem, founder of the Shemites or Semitic line, and could hardly be anti-himself."
In his Motion to Deny Defendant's Motion to Dismiss the Complaint, Mullins states that "Defendant's motives for spying on plaintiff and conspiring against plaintiff are also a matter of public record, that defendant, acting as an illegal and unregistered agent of the State of Israel, was determined to crush and destroy all critics and criticisms of the State of Israel's subversive activities within the United States. As a supposed "charitable and philanthropic organization", defendant cloaked its illegal activities in a transparent guise of "protecting" America's Jewish community from racial and religious attacks from the likes of plaintiff. This guise bears a suspicious mirror image of the "protection racket" of defendant's historic ally in the United States, the Mafia. The facts are exactly the opposite to the claims of this defendant. While defendant was preying upon the American Jewish community, and extorting immense sums from them for its protection racket, plaintiff was working closely with many outstanding American Jewish intellectual leaders to protect American Jewish communities from this protection racket and to free the American Jewish community from the horrendous burden placed upon it by this gangster element in the Jewish community. Because plaintiff publicized defendant's close working relationship with the Mafia and with other gangster elements, the defendant intensified its public crucifixion of plaintiff as "anti-Semitic", "a notorious anti-Semite", "Nazi", and other false and defamatory epithets which defendant publicly published as being solely originating with and sponsored and inspired by defendant. The purpose of these nationally circulated smears against plaintiff, extending for almost half a century, was to prevent the American public from reading plaintiffs books or listening to his documented information which exposed the gangster background of this defendant."
Mullins also notes in his Amended Complaint that "Although plaintiff is only one of thousands of innocent American who have been victimized by the vicious conspiracies of said defendant, plaintiff has been for many years considered the No. 1 target of defendant because of his investigative researches into defendant's criminal activities, which have been front page news for many months."
If Judge Greene will allow a jury to hear this case, Mullins has hundreds of pages of documentation detailing the ADL's systematic takeover and subversion of the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, and many other agencies. When Admiral Inman was nominated to become Secretary of Defense, he was informed that The New York Times and its Zionist hatchetman, William Safire, would lead a national campaign to prevent his confirmation because he had once hesitated to share CIA information with the State of Israel. When he went public with his reason for not seeking confirmation because of this scheduled smear campaign, he was pilloried throughout the American press by every columnist as being paranoid, mentally unstable, and a nitwit. Not once was his publicly announced reason for declining the appointment, that the Zionist hatchetmen were out to get him, ever mentioned.
Mullins hopes that his lawsuit will launch a national liberation campaign to rescue our national government from Zionist takeover and systematic subversion. The ADL also realizes that the stakes are high, and they will do anything to prevent any public revelation of this campaign. Although Mullins sent out two hundred press releases to the national media about this lawsuit, not one major newspaper mentioned a hundred million dollar historic lawsuit in the nation's capital. Three thousand well paid "investigative journalists" in Washington knew that their careers would be over if they dared to print a word about a suit against the Anti-Defamation League.
[H: So why would this little denounced "ragsheet" DARE to print such material? Because the TRUTH IS, you are just about on your last legs, America. And Doris Ekker? She has been the brunt of the same ongoing and incredible assaults, but she gets them from self-proclaimed PATRIOTS as well. Well, as she has stated--when you have LOST EVERYTHING--THERE ISN'T MUCH USE IN TRYING TO SAVE ANYTHING. I remind you readers--this is the most READ paper in print--and the most undersubscribed to paper in the world. Does that seem a bit strange to you? I hope so, but it surely MUST TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF INFORMATION PRESENTED HERE]
MOTION TO DENY--CIVIL ACTION
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
EUSTACE C. MULLINS, Plaintiff,
v.
ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE
OF B'NAI B'RITH, Defendant.
CIVIL ACTION NO. 93-2497 (HHG)
MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DENY DEFENDANT
ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE, B'NAI B'RITH'S
MOTION TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT
Defendant's motion to dismiss signally fails to address the central point of plaintiffs complaint, that defendant has for more than forty years illegally maintained files upon plaintiff's legal activities, spied upon plaintiff, harassed plaintiff, forced plaintiffs employers to discharge him from gainful employment, and make it impossible for him to earn a living or support himself, conspired against plaintiff as defendant has done against thousands of other American citizens, according to public records.
Defendant's motives for spying on plaintiff and conspiring against plaintiff are also a matter of public record, that defendant, acting as an illegal and unregistered agent of the foreign State of Israel, was determined to crush and destroy all critics and criticisms of the State of Israel's subversive activities in a transparent guise of "protecting" America's Jewish community from racial and religious attacks from the likes of plaintiff. This guise bears a suspicious mirror image of the "protection racket" of defendant's historic ally in the United States, the Mafia.
The facts are exactly opposite to the claims of this defendant. While defendant was preying upon the American Jewish community, and extorting immense sums from them for its protection racket, plaintiff was working closely with many outstanding American Jewish intellectual leaders to protect America's Jewish community from this protection racket and to free the American Jewish community from the horrendous burden placed upon it by this gangster element in the Jewish community. Because plaintiff has publicized defendant's close working relationship with the Mafia and with other gangster elements, defendant intensified its public crucifixion of plaintiff as "anti-Semitic", "a notorious anti-Semite", "Nazi" and other false and defamatory epithets which defendant publicly published as being solely originating with and sponsored and inspired by defendant. The purpose of these nationally circulated smears against plaintiff, extending for almost a half a century, was to prevent the American public from reading plaintiffs books or listening to his documented information which exposed the gangster background of this defendant.
Because defendant's defamation of plaintiff has continued for almost a half a century, the detailing of these attacks and espionage would require a book. Plaintiff has chosen the more flagrant of these attacks to include in his complaint in order to make it as short and concise as possible to conform with Rule 8a of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, requiring "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief."
Defendant denounces plaintiff's complaint as "incoherent, rambling and irrelevant". However, it is insufficient in law for a defendant to denounce an indictment as "incoherent" without citing a single instance of incoherence in the entire complaint. Incoherent is not an accurate description of quotes from The Washington Post and the other components of plaintiff's complaint.
II. Plaintiff cites defendant as in violation of RICO statutes because said statutes call for "an established pattern of behavior"....

We have been unable to locate Mr. Mullins to obtain the page; due to the timeliness of the information we have elected to publish what we have. If there is significant information in the missing page when we get it, we will find a way to print it for you.)
10. Plaintiff demands trial by jury.

So what can YOU DO? Get informed. I like surprises, Dharma had no idea this would come through in the mail today. However, we had already launched into 8 hours at a whack of writing to offer you substantial backup on this ADL issue. Indeed, the ADL has hit as hard as it can against the Ekkers and still does at EVERY COURT ENCOUNTER, which now includes at least five separate actions or counter-actions against them.
"But, how can we help Mr. Mullins?" BUY HIS BOOKS, starting with THE RAPE OF JUSTICE if you don't have it. But get it FROM HIM. How much? I don't know but George Green advertised it at $18.00 plus shipping. So, I would guess that if you send $20.00 to $21.00 FRNs he will ship you a copy post-haste. Then, get the rest of his works as fast as you possibly can afford to do so. This is the kind of help our people want most--earned return for service. In "our" project proposals we have a full "proposal" for additional funding through the Constitutional Law Center to support such people as Eustace Mullins. We aren't "there" yet so we too have to ask for your continued support of the paper and JOURNALS. We will have to close down if we don't get funding soon--but every step of the way has been worth more than you can possibly realize.
Please get your books directly from Eustace Mullins or inquire OF HIM where to get them:

No, we are not going to go rest yet. All the preceding writing of today regarding Eustace Mullins and his suit against the ADL MUST HAVE ATTENTION BACKED UP BY FACTS. The only recourse you individual parties have in this battle against the adversarial odds is to KEEP AT IT--REST CAN COME WHEN THE JOB IS DONE! Dangerous? Why start concerning yourself with "danger" now? Precious, you have more people protecting YOU than a little old Space Command! Some are in "very high places", in fact--beyond your realm of awareness--and I don't mean "invisible". Just keep on going--good work is rewarded with good rewards, believe it or not...
HOLLYWOOD HOODLUMS
If the 1985 Moe Dalitz award dinner was a kind of "coming out party" for the ADL's friends in the National Crime Syndicate, it was by no means the first time the League publicly flaunted its deep ties to the gangster world.
In 1963, as part of an effort to vastly expand its fundraising reach, the ADL appointed Hollywood producer Dore Schary as its national chairman. At the time, Schary was the reigning superstar at the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios. Among the Hollywood insiders, however, Schary was known as a lifelong pal of syndicate higher-up Abner "Longie" Zwillman of New Jersey. Zwillman was one of the first of the Prohibition-era bootleggers and Lansky aides to get involved in the Hollywood motion picture industry. An original member of "Murder, Inc." and the head of the powerful Reinfeld bootlegging syndicate in New Jersey, Zwillman expanded into labor racketeering during the waning days of Prohibition. By 1930, he had seized control over the screen operators union up and down the East Coast, and parlayed that into shares in some of the big Hollywood studios.
At this time, Dore Schary ran an amateur drama group at the YMHA in Newark, N.J. Childhood friend Zwillman sent Schary out to the West Coast and installed him at MGM.
When Zwillman got into trouble with the IRS in the late 1950s, some of his syndicate associates became convinced that he might betray some of the mob's most closely held financial secrets. On Feb. 27, 1959, he was found hanging from a pipe in the basement of his twenty-room West Orange, N.J. mansion. According to FBI reports, Schary attended the funeral. In the FBI memo citing Schary's appearance at the Zwillman funeral, the Bureau delivered a kind of eulogy to the mobster. Citing an article from the New York World Telegram, the FBI memo read:
"Nobody...followed so successfully for so long the approved underworld formula for success--from rags to rackets to riches to respectability."
If the "rags to respectability" formula were to be applied to organizations, the Anti-Defamation League would be first on the list of success stories.
THE ADL AND
THE OPIUM WAR AGAINST AMERICA
For the past two decades, Wall Street lawyer Kenneth Bialkin has been "Mr. ADL". A longstanding member of the League's National Executive Committee, Bialkin served from 1982 through 1986 as the League's national chairman. It was on his watch that gangster Moe Dalitz got the ADL's prestigious "Torch of Liberty" prize; that junk bond swindler Michael Milken poured millions of dollars into the launching of the League's "A World of Difference" propaganda campaign to wreck American public education, and that accused drug money launderer Edmund Safra got Bialkin and the ADL to mediate a corporate divorce between his banking empire and the American Express Company. In return for Bialkin's effort to salvage Safra's badly tarnished reputation, the ADL received a $1 million tax-exempt payoff from him.
But Bialkin's real claim to fame is that he was a central figure in the doping of America. Without Kenneth Bialkin's behind the scenes legal maneuvering, the Medellin Cartel would have had a far more difficult time establishing a beachhead in the United States. In much the same way Bialkin quieted the potentially stormy divorce between Edmund Safra and American Express, he brokered the marriage between renegade financier Robert Vesco and the Medellin Cartel's chief of logistics, Carlos Lehder Rivas. As a result, the dope smuggling routes through the Caribbean into the United States were consolidated, and the streets of America were flooded during the 1980s with marijuana and cocaine.
BIALKIN. VESCO. AND IOS
The sordid story began in 1970, when Kenneth Bialkin, the senior partner at the Wall Street law firm of Willkie, Farr and Gallagher, helped engineer Robert Vesco's takeover of the Investors Overseas Service (IOS), a Swiss-based mutual fund that was founded by Bernie Cornfeld with startup funding from the Swiss-French branch of the Rothschild family.
IOS was a front for Meyer Lansky's international crime syndicate. IOS "salesmen" traveled the globe carrying suitcases full of cash across international borders. Some of the money came from local investors, but the bulk of it was hot money gained from the Lansky syndicate's dope, gambling, prostitution and extortion rackets.
If this method of money laundering was labor intensive and primitive compared to today's high-speed electronic wire transfers, it was nevertheless efficient. The cash eventually wound up in numbered accounts at some of Switzerland's most corrupt and secretive banks. Some of the banks linked to the IOS apparatus, like the Geneva-based International Credit Bank (BCI and the Nassau, Bahamas-based Bank of World Commerce, were flagrant fronts for the Lansky syndicate. While BCI was owned by a senior officer of the Israeli Mossad named Tibor Rosenbaum, BCI's office manager, Sylvain Ferdman, was identified by Life magazine in 1967 as one of Lansky's top bagmen, and World Commerce director Alvin Malnik was Lansky's "accountant".
When Lansky and his controllers decided to shift the center of their underground banking operations from Switzerland to the Caribbean as part of the planned expansion of cocaine and marijuana smuggling into the United States, it was the ADL and Bialkin that engineered the move.
First, the ADL's Minneapolis, Minn. apparatus (known inside the League as the "Minneapolis Mafia"), which ran the notorious Kid Cann (Isadore Blumenfeld) organized crime ring, provided the money for a local Hebrew schoolteacher turned business entrepreneur named Meshulam Riklis to buy up a large block of shares of IOS stock. Once Riklis had amassed enough stock to control the company, he turned around and sold all his shares to Vesco. Vesco was represented in the transaction by Kenneth Bialkin.
Vesco's next step was to oust Bernie Cornfeld as the president of IOS and take over the job himself. Over the next several years, a total of $270 million was siphoned out of IOS accounts in Switzerland. Officially, the money was never found and Robert Vesco conveniently fled the United States one step ahead of the FBI and the IRS.
The Cornfeld to Riklis to Vesco transaction itself may have been largely a wash of Lansky syndicate dollars. From Prohibition onward, the Minneapolis Kid Cann gang had been handlers of Lansky money. Kid Cann eventually moved to the Miami area and was a key player in Lansky's bigtime move into southern Florida "gold coast" real estate.
However, not all of the money siphoned out of IOS by Vesco was "family cash". A lawsuit was brought in U.S. District court in New York City in 1980 by some of the independent investors who had lost their shirts in the looting of IOS. While not revealing the whereabouts of the missing millions, the civil suit identified Bialkin and the Bank of New York as partners of the fugitive financier in the scheme. On July 31, 1980, Federal Judge D.J. Stewart ordered Willkie, Farr and Gallagher to pay $24.5 million to a group of IOS investors and ordered the Bank of New York to pay $35.6 million. The case file, which fills twenty cartons stored at the Federal District Court warehouse in Bayonne, N.J., shows that Bialkin was the evil genius behind the looting scheme.
A year before the court ordered Willkie, Farr and the Bank of New York to pay up for their role in the looting of IOS, some of that money had been used by Vesco to purchase Normans Cay in the Bahamas. Vesco's partner in the deal was Carlos Lehder Rivas, a small-time Colombian car thief and marijuana smuggler who had recently gotten out of jail in Florida. Lehder, an unabashed supporter of Adolf Hitler who would later use some of his smuggling profits to found a neo-Nazi, radical environmentalist political party in Colombia, fit neatly into the ADL scheme, with his family ties back in Colombia to leading figures in the then-emerging Medellin Cartel.
By 1980, the Vesco-Lehder-owned Normans Cay was serving as the command center and transshipment depot for a massive marijuana and cocaine trafficking operations from Medellin into the United States.
For several years, while running the Normans Cay operation, Vesco skipped from the Bahamas to Costa Rica to Nicaragua, buying up local politicians and newspaper editors and always miraculously staying one step ahead of an FBI that never really seemed too intent on capturing the fugitive money man. On one occasion on Antigua, Vesco was hosting a lavish party on a boat that he had bought from Saudi financier Adnan Khashoggi, while FBI agents were combing the island looking for the elusive fugitive.
In 1982, Vesco took more secure permanent refuge in Havana, Cuba as the personal guest and financial adviser to Communist dictator Fidel Castro. Vesco and Lehder cut Castro into the lucrative cocaine and marijuana business, using Cuban airstrips to refuel their drug flights to America and, in return, helping Fidel to funnel guns to terrorist groups across Latin America. According to investigative reporter Ernest Volkman, by 1984 Vesco and Lehder had earned Fidel a $20 billion cut of the growing Western Hemisphere dope trade. Thanks to ADL frontman Vesco, Americans were getting hooked on cocaine, while Fidel Castro was reaping billions to foment narco-terrorist insurgencies all over the Hemisphere.
In the meantime, back on U.S. soil, "Mr. ADL", Kenneth Bialkin, continued to ply his trade. In 1988, he left his post as managing partner of Willkie, Farr to take a partnership at another Wall Street mega-firm, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom. In the speculative frenzy that had followed the Carter administration's deregulation of the nation's banking system and financial markets, Skadden Arps had emerged as the "sleaze king" of Wall Street lawyering. The firm's number one client was Drexel Burnham's junk bond super-salesman, Michael Milken. When Milken left the wood-paneled conference rooms of lower Manhattan to set up shop in Beverly Hills, Calif., Skadden Arps obliged by opening up their own eighty-man Beverly Hills office to service Milken's every need.
Among Milken's oldest and most well-fed clients was Meshulam Riklis, the former Minneapolis Hebrew schoolteacher who had been an important prop in the Bialkin-executed takeover and looting of IOS.
(To do him justice, it should be noted that before he landed in Minnesota, the Turkish-born Riklis had been a British police spy in Palestine before Israel won its independence. When his treachery was exposed, the Stern Gang, led by Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, had imposed a death sentence on Riklis. That death sentence was finally lifted in the early 1980s after the Begin and Shamir-led Likud Party came into power in Israel, and Riklis made a very large cash contribution to their campaign coffers. That rapprochement was apparently arranged by Israel's Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, after Riklis bought him a ranch in the Negev Desert.)
BIALKIN AND SAFRA
Before he moved over to Skadden Arps, Kenneth Bialkin had occupied a great deal of his time during the 1980s with engineering a consolidation and reorganization of some of the oldest of the "Our Crowd" brokerage houses. The banking deregulation frenzy of the Carter and early Reagan years, combined with skyrocketing U.S. interest rates, had turned the U.S. economy into a haven for hot money. "Narco-dollars" were flooding the U.S. and Bialkin apparently recognized that if he could create a large enough and diversified enough financial structure to accommodate the hot cash, the rewards would be nearly endless.
In rapid succession, he executed the absorption of Lehman Brothers into Kuhn, Loeb and Company. Shearson Hayden Stone bought out Loeb Rhodes. And, by 1984, all of those houses had been in turn bought out by American Express Company, which changed its name to Shearson Lehman American Express.
Bialkin was an attorney of record on each of these transactions and he landed a seat on the board of directors of the newly consolidated Shearson Amex entity. Bialkin's buddy, HENRY KISSINGER, by now a high-flying consultant to a fleet of major multinational corporations, also joined the board of the Amex mega-combine.
In 1983, Bialkin had also orchestrated the marriage of the Amex conglomerate with Edmund Safra's Trade Development Bank of Geneva. When the ink dried, Safra was holding 4 percent of Amex's stock and was president of its private banking division. The other large-block shareholder in the new conglomerate was Carl Lindner, another rags-to-riches wheeler-dealer long suspected of being a front man for the Lansky crowd. Courtesy of Michael Milken and former Dalitz "Purple Gang" member Max Fisher (another prominent ADL figure), Lindner became the owner of United Brands, formerly the United Fruit Company. U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration acknowledged in 1978 that an estimated 20 percent of the illegal drugs coming into the United States from South and Central America were being smuggled courtesy of United Brands, a company with longstanding ties to organized crime and U.S. intelligence.
The capacity for money laundering and smuggling represented by this United Brands-Amex combine made Vesco's earlier IOS venture seem like a mom and pop operation in comparison.
However, things began to unravel very dramatically for Bialkin and his conglomerate clients on April 2, 1989. That day's Sunday edition of New York Newsday ran a full-page banner headline: "Dirty Money--No. 606347712 Is The NY Bank Account Where 2 Major Drug Money-Laundering Probes Meet."
The story, by ace investigative reporter Knut Royce, revealed that Edmund Safra's Republic National Bank of New York was serving as a money laundering hub for both the Medellin Cartel and the Syrian-Lebanese Mafia. DEA and U.S. Customs investigators involved in two separate high-priority probes had traced dope dollars from South America and the Middle East into the same numbered account at the main branch of Republic.
Royce's story was based in part on a Jan. 3, 1989 DEA report from the Berne, Switzerland office. The subject of the report was a Geneva-based firm, Shakarchi Trading Company. Working in league with the Bulgarian secret police, the Turkish mafia, and Syrian and Lebanese drug traffickers in the Bekaa Valley, Shakarchi had laundered the profits of the Middle East heroin and hashish trade through Switzerland into Republic National Bank. Account No. 606347712 was Shakarchi's account.
What's more, the DEA document revealed that Edmund Safra had been a lifelong friend of Mahmoud Shakarchi, the founder of the Swiss company, and continued to enjoy a close business relationship with Mahmoud's sons, who were running the firm at the time of the Newsday exposé. The DEA report said that all of Safra's banks had "surfaced in the investigation of Shakarchi's alleged drug money laundering activities."
The Newsday story had been apparently put together with the assistance of angry federal drug investigators who felt that major drug money laundering cases had been blocked for political reasons.
Indeed, both Bialkin and Safra were hot political commodities at that moment. Iran-Contra special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh was deep into his probe of illegal covert operations by the Reagan-Bush White House, and both Bialkin and Safra--as well as the ADL--had surfaced as prominent players in the secret diplomacy with Khomeini's Iran and the illegal covert war against Nicaragua:
- Bialkin had been the attorney for Adnan Khashoggi in arranging for the Saudi financier's purchasing of the original shipment of arms to Iran in exchange for the release of an American hostage.
- Bialkin's Willkie, Farr law partner in Geneva, Willard Zucker, had been the money handler for Oliver North and Richard Secord at Lake Resources, Inc. Earlier, Zucker had been Bialkin's Swiss point-man in the Vesco looting of IOS.
- Another longtime Wall Street associate of Bialkin, Arthur Liman, had served as the chief counsel to the Senate Iran-Contra panel, which whitewashed the scandal and threw up major roadblocks to Walsh's independent counsel probe.
- The ADL's Latin American Affairs director, Rabbi Morton Rosenthal, had authored a report labeling the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua as "anti-Semitic" and urging all American Jews to back the Reagan administration's secret war in Central America.
- Carl Gershman, who cut his political teeth working as a full-time staffer at the ADL's Fact Finding (dirty tricks) Division in the late 1960s, was made the head of the Reagan administration's National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which was the primary funding conduit for the entire Contra effort.
- Edmund Safra had been directly involved in the logistics of the Iran-Contra operations through his Republic Corporate Air front company, which he jointly owned with Willard Zucker. According to news accounts, it was one of Safra's airplanes that brought Ollie North and Robert McFarlane to Teheran in the spring of 1986 on their last ill-fated effort at an arms-for-hostage deal.
The Newsday story also intersected an escalating war of words between Safra and Amex Chairman James Robinson III. Safra had quit as Amex's international banking head a few years after he had merged his Trade Development Bank into the Bialkin-made mega-firm. With a four-year, non-competition clause now expired, Safra had launched a raid on some of Amex's top employees and private banking clients in preparation for the launching of a new private bank in Switzerland. Amex fought back and the whole sordid affair landed before a federal judge in civil court in New York. Kenneth Bialkin, still representing Amex, hammered out an out of court settlement which included a published apology to Safra and a payment by Amex of $1 million to each of four of Safra's favorite "charities". The ADL was on the top of the list of beneficiaries.
It was a classic case of ADL sleight of hand. Amex delivered an "apology" to Safra, "exonerating" Safra of any alleged drug money laundering, even though nobody ever challenged the authenticity of either the DEA's Berne memo or the Newsday story! The New York Times and all the major Wall Street-linked news media dutifully ran the Amex mea culpa, and the ADL waltzed off with a cool million bucks in tax-exempt funds.
In the meantime, the ADL was busy on a dozen other fronts, helping to fuel the speculative frenzy that would drive the U.S. economy into the ground by the end of the 1980s.
THE ADL AND THE JUNK BOND,
BANDITS RIP OFF AMERICA
In the autumn of 1991, attorney Alan Dershowitz, who had been hired by junk bond king Michael Milken to get him out of jail, purchased an ad in the New York Times to denounce a new book on Milken as "anti-Semitic". The book, Den of Thieves by James B. Stewart, the front-page editor of the Wall Street Journal, detailed the massive and consistent criminality of Milken's operation at Drexel Burnham.
[H: Does it appear to anyone reading this that it is somewhat an honor now to be called "anti-Semitic"? I find it most interesting that the Gritz, Green, Binder, et al. radio international broadcasting system referred to Doris Ekker and the "ragsheet" CONTACT as being anti-Semitic! Well, maybe they "alleged" to cover their assets since the TRUTH OF SEMITISM WOULD COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM IF THEY STRETCHED IT TOO FAR, ESPECIALLY THE GOOD "DR." BINDER! HE DENIES HAVING ANY "JEWS" ON HIS BOARD--HOW DOES HE MANAGE TO STATE SUCH A THING DO YOU SUPPOSE? Dharma stands on the same platform as Muffins: "I am a Semite!" And, what would be so publicly "bad" for US&P to have a "Jew" on the Board? Why deny something already proven and not possibly having anything to do with anything save bigotry? If US&P doesn't have a Jew on the Board--why not? Is this not showing prejudice against a "minority" group and racist bigotry? No one around here allows ANY anti-Semites anywhere around the place--further, the majority of involved parties ARE Semitic in origin!]
In his book, Stewart cut through the myth of Milken as a financial genius, showing instead that much of his "success" was due to illegal acts which preyed upon both those who invested their money with Drexel's broker, and on the U.S. economy as a whole.
The attempt by Dershowitz to dismiss Milken's criminality by alleging that he was the victim of an "anti-Semitic cabal" was vintage ADL. In much the same way that the League cut its teeth defending Lower East Side gangsters against the crackdown by New York city Police Commissioner Theodore Bingham by libeling the commissioner as an unrepentant "anti-Semite", Dershowitz and other ADL mouthpieces branded Milken's accusers with the same devastating label.
[H: Don't any of you good readers FORGET: Alan Dershowitz has proclaimed publicly that the United States is (will be) the new Israel "homeland"!]
The Dershowitz defense of Milken let slip a very important secret: Milken and his Wall Street allies had replaced the pinstripe-suited and machine-gun-toting gangsters of Prohibition as the lions of organized crime. It was Meyer Lansky's dream come true: to insulate his organized crime successors as "untouchables" by putting them in the driver's seat of the U.S. economy. And the ADL was on hand every step along the way.
RECYCLING NARCO-DOLLARS
When Milken, fresh out of the Wharton School of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, first presented his theories on the profitability of high-yield bonds (also known as junk bonds) to skeptical traders at Drexel Burnham in the early 1970s, he found few takers. After the dual shocks of Nixon's August 1971 order severing the remaining link between the dollar and gold, and Kissinger's 1973 oil hoax, Wall Street was looking for stability, and the major investment firms were quite conservative in their investments.
The 1976 election of Jimmy Carter, however, initiated a process of economic degeneration that led to many changes in how Wall Street conducted its business--changes which cleared the way for Milken and his allies to unleash their financial experiments on the nation.
Already, the stage had been set by the mid-1970s' Kissinger-engineered oil hoax, which led to skyrocketing petroleum prices and a flood of what came to be known as "petro-dollars" into the American banking system. The "petro-dollars" of the seventies paved the way for the narco-dollar invasion of the 1980s.
The appointment of Paul Volcker as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board in 1979 was a watershed in the process of opening the U.S. economy for wholesale looting. Volcker raised interest rates to the highest sustained levels in U.S. history. These high interest rates squeezed bank profits even further, as the cost of borrowing money from the Fed went through the roof. [H: Indeed, this is the SAME Paul Volcker that George Green claims offered him the job of Financial Manager in Carter's campaign, indicating that he (GG) was an insider good-old-boy and personal friend, if true, and why wouldn't we be able to believe what George has told "everybody"? By the way, there is something else I find interesting in the attack against Grannie Ekker--how is it that the accusation from Gritz and US&P is "plagiarism" and yet when Gritz would refer to Binder it always was "now we will get the real truth" of such and such.... Are they saying that the material they produce and offer the public is a LIE? or something. This is like accusing ones who present the PROTOCOLS OF ZION (as the ADL DOES) of "forgery". Does not "forgery" as well as "plagiarism" indicate "copy" of an "original"? If the real truth is in US&P's archives and Dharma's does not present the "truth" in print--HOW CAN THERE BE PLAGIARISM IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE? I BELIEVE THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT MAY WELL WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS STATEMENT MADE TO INTERNATIONAL RADIO AUDIENCES!!! And, did "everybody" not hear Gritz state loudly that George was an authority on this matter--and, that he was going to use those domed structures? Funny thing, the architect involved with GG is also of the name Green(e) and upstart funding for the project was paid by none other than the good old Phoenix Institute for Research and Education, Ltd., the same one George is efforting to destroy--while still a Director, no less! How interesting?!? So, what am I saying? Am I saying that somehow George and Bo, et al., are attached to the criminal elements and, at the least, the ADL? Gosh no! I wouldn't say such a thing--but it surely is hard to tell who is and who isn't--isn't it? I guess it looks pretty bad for this grandma, though, doesn't it, when these clean-cut American Patriots in point--ALL GANG UP ON HER WITH THEIR AK-47s?]
The only solution to this crisis, most bankers concluded, was to deregulate the banking system and thereby transform it into the newest safe haven for illegal cash. By the time Congress passed the Garn-St Germain Act in 1982, the U.S. banking system had been completely opened to foreign flight capital, and banks and savings and loan institutions (S&Ls) were given the green light for the first time ever to invest directly in real estate, junk bonds, and many other speculative ventures which had been previously prohibited.
One big advocate of total deregulation was then-Vice President George Bush, who was the chairman of President Reagan's blue ribbon task force on deregulation. Under his and Volcker's direction, most antitrust legislation was struck down, thus allowing the huge mergers and takeovers of the 1980s to occur, with funds raised by Milken's networks.
MILKEN AND JUNK BONDS
With Volcker at the Fed running interference for the drug bankers, and with deregulators in the Executive Branch striking down protective regulations in conjunction with their congressional allies, the doors were opened for bringing the offshore drug profits back into the United States.
And it was Michael Milken and his domination over the junk bond market which provided the mechanism by which the funds would be laundered.
Junk bonds offered an ideal way to repatriate drug money and other illicit funds. From his promotion of junk bonds in the mid-1970s, Milken built up a network of "corporate raiders" around him, many of whom had organized crime connections. They had excess dollars, money which they used initially to buy real estate, restaurants, casinos, and other cash-based businesses ideally suited for washing money. However, as the drug trade flourished, these traditional means of laundering money became inadequate. They needed bigger, more expensive targets.
Again, it was Milken who provided these targets. During a brainstorming session with the brass at Drexel Burnham, Milken won over CEO Fred Joseph to the idea of using junk bonds to fund corporate takeovers. The same raiders who had been purchasing junk bonds could use their money to take over large corporations, especially corporations with a large cash flow, such as food, beverage, and tobacco companies. Milken would sell junk bonds to part of his network of raiders, who would use their illicit funds to purchase the junk bonds. The money raised from the sale of the junk bonds would provide the funds for another raider to buy the company. Then, the new owner could mix in (i.e., launder) further drug revenues with the cash flow of his newly purchased company.
One assistant U.S. attorney who had been building cases against money laundering for years, said that the process makes it very difficult to trace the initial funds. "To start with," he said, "these transactions (the takeovers) are very difficult to follow. But when you start using companies with heavy cash flows, which are ideal for money laundering, it becomes almost impossible."
U.S. tax laws also favored use of junk bond sales for takeovers. Under provisions of the corporate tax code, interest paid on debt is deductible, while dividends received from stock holding are not. The tax laws favor those raiders who take over firms through generating huge debt responsibilities, while penalizing those who act to increase profits through investments which increase productivity.
Huge tax liabilities were thus evaded through the debt-backed takeovers financed through junk bonds. In addition to his network of raiders, who to a man enjoyed long-term relationships with the ADL, Milken's operation could not have succeeded without the aid of the finest lawyers dirty money could buy. While there were many firms which offered their help, three stand out and all three are deep into the ADL circuit.
* Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison.
Founder Seymour Rifkind served as an adviser to one of Milken's leading raiders, Ronald Perelman. Rifkind was counsel to the Golding family, which Perelman married into. The grandfather of Perelman's first wife, Faith Golding, was a founder of the ADL's Sterling National Bank. Rifkind joined the board of Perelman's company, MacAndrew & Forbes, which he used as a vehicle to take over Pantry Pride and Revlon, two of the country's largest consumer-goods outfits.
Rifkind was also on the board of Revlon, even while it was being targeted by Perelman. Rifkind protege Arthur Liman would serve on Milken's defense team following his 1989 indictment for insider trading. Liman joined the Milken team fresh from a stint as chief counsel to the House of Representatives' Iran-Contra panel, in which he helped cover up the ADL's pivotal role in that covert criminal program.
* Skadden Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom.
Senior partner Joseph Flom has been at the center of every major takeover during the 1970s and 1980s. According to Connie Bruck, author of Predator's Ball, and a leading expert on takeovers, Flom and Martin Lipton of Wachtell, Lipton "virtually had created the takeover business in the seventies." Anyone looking for a takeover target hired either Flom or Lipton; those firms which became targets would hire the other one for "protection".
According to one prosecutor who worked on the Wall Street fraud cases in the late 1980s, "these two law firms were just like the 'insurance business' run by the mob--if you don't get insurance by hiring one of them, you might get targeted." Mob lawyer and former. ADL national Chairman Kenneth Bialkin joined Skadden Arps in 1988.
* Wachtell, Lipton.
MILKEN'S MONSTERS
Once George Bush's task force eliminated the regulatory measures which had protected American enterprises and corporations from sharks and looters, and with teams of lawyers in place to defend them, it was time for Milken to unleash his raiders.
During the decade of the 1980s, more than $1.5 TRILLION was diverted into corporate takeovers and leveraged buyouts (LBOs). Of this amount, more than $60 billion went directly into the pockets of the investment bankers, the "dealmakers" (i.e., the "raiders"), and their attorneys.
Henry Kravis, one of the leading dealmakers of the 1980s, exploited his close ADL ties to raise money for the takeover antics of his firm, Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts (KKR). Once Drexel Burnham decided to use junk bonds to finance takeovers, the Kravis-Milken connection was a natural.
Milken and his raider networks provided billions of dollars to help finance KKR's takeovers. Henry Kravis' KKR was created in 1976 with $120,000. By 1990, it had borrowed $58 billion from banks, S&Ls, insurance companies and pension funds, to take over more than 35 companies. While cousins Henry Kravis and George Roberts are now worth more than $500 million each, the firms they took over have been loaded up with debt, threatening the investments made by S&Ls, insurance companies, and pension funds.
To pay this debt, the firms were asset-stripped, and forced to close down factories, throwing hundreds of thousands of people onto unemployment lines. Many of these deals resulted in bankruptcies, forcing the federal government to cover the losses when the bankrupted firm was taken over, by borrowing from a federally insured bank, S&L or pension fund.
While the new management created by the takeover was dismantling the company to pay the debt generated to buy it, the raiders came away with huge profits. Milken alone received a $550 million bonus from Drexel in 1986, and he doled out another $150 million in bonuses to his team.
Working hand in hand with Milken in the looting of America were a collection of figures with close links to both organized crime and the ADL. Collectively, they were given the name "Milken's Monsters" by one of their most notorious members, Meshulam Riklis. Riklis, the front man for the ADL's "Minneapolis Mafia", had been the middle-man in the Vesco-Bialkin takeover of Investors Overseas Service.
The Monsters were Milken's first followers, those who saw in his promotion of junk bonds the means by which they could launder funds, while simultaneously generating the leverage to take over major corporations, which would further facilitate their laundering. Many of them began by purchasing insurance companies, which in turn became major purchasers of junk bonds. In the early stages of Milken's ascendancy, the Monsters included:
* Carl Lindner, who took over Cincinnati's Provident Bank in 1966. He then acquired Great American, a property and casualty insurance company, which operated as a subsidiary of the financial holding company American Financial Corp. In 1974, when Lindner was just beginning his relationship with Milken, he was under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for violating anti-fraud and anti-manipulation regulations.
We have already encountered Lindner as the United Brands owner who joined with Edmund Safra in staking out the biggest claims in Amex. Lindner and his "Purple Gang" partner Max Fisher literally took over United Brands over the dead body of CEO Eli Black, who mysteriously fell or jumped out of a window of the Pan Am building in New York City, while in the midst of fighting the Lindner grab.
Black's son, Leon Black, was placated by a lucrative job as one of Milken's top allies, as a "strategic planner" at Drexel. It was Leon Black who in 1979 helped Milken convince Drexel CEO Fred Joseph that Drexel should use its clout from junk bonds to back the raiders in takeovers. Black said the raiders are the "robber barons of the future. These are the guys who are building empires."
Lindner soon became Drexel's biggest client, in both trading and corporate finance. He was represented by Peter Fishbein of Kaye, Scholer, a law firm which serves as official outside counsel to the ADL's Sterling Bank. Fishbein has been an ADL officer since 1970. In 1992, federal regulators banned Fishbein from ever having any dealings with banks or any other financial institutions, as the result of a probe that linked him and the law firm to a cover-up of S&L looting by Lincoln Savings and Loan's Charles Keating.
* Saul Steinberg, who started a computer leasing business, Leasco, in 1961, shortly after graduation from college. He was backed up in his early takeovers by Sanford Weill, a leader of Wall Street's "New Crowd" who was named ADL's man of the Year in 1981. Weill's lawyer at the time was the ADL's next national chairman, Kenneth Bialkin. With Weill's backing Steinberg took over Reliance Insurance Co., which he used to make a play for New York's Chemical Bank in 1969.
After taking over Reliance, Steinberg brought in Bialkin's law firm, Willkie, Farr and Gallagher to represent it. The Saul Steinberg Foundation is also represented by Bialkin's firm. It donates heavily to the ADL.
* Meshulam Riklis, who spent much of the 1970s under investigation by the SEC and U.S. Customs Service narcotics officials. Riklis used Rapid American, a conglomerate which included International Playtex, Schenley Industries, Lerner Shops, and RKO-Stanley Warner Theaters, to finance his raids.
Shortly after Riklis took Rapid American private, Lindner and Steinberg followed suit, with American Financial and Reliance respectively. The Riklis Family Foundation has contributed heavily to the ADL, according to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) documents.
* Laurence Tisch, whose insurance company CNA was a frequent investor in junk bonds issued by Milken. His Tisch Foundation has provided funds for the ADL.
Lindner, Steinberg, Riklis, and Tisch all invested heavily in each other's offerings. For example, Carl Lindner, through American Financial, was the second largest shareholder in Steinberg's Reliance and in Tisch's Loews Corp., as well as a major shareholder in Riklis' Rapid American. When Milken needed to raise funds, any one of these four could be counted on for quick bucks.
THE MONSTERS UNLEASHED
There were others from the same organized crime networks who joined the Monsters. Victor Posner, who operates out of rundown offices in Miami Beach, made a fortune in real estate in the 1930s and 1940s. Like many of the oldtimers in the Milken-ADL stable, he, too, was reputed to have been a financial partner of Meyer Lansky. Posner, who like Meshulam Riklis engaged in "creative financing" before hooking up with Milken, was forced to sign a consent decree with the SEC over allegations that he misused pension funds from Sharon Steel, a firm he looted in the 1970s.
Ronald Perelman, another of Milken's raiders, has deep ties to the ADL. Perelman married Faith Golding, whose grandfather founded Sterling National Bank. MacAndrews & Forbes was the vehicle used by Perelman to take over Pantry Pride, with financing from Milken. He then used Pantry Pride to take over Revlon, financed again by Milken, and advised by Skadden Arps' Joe Flom.
With the same network of advisers and some inside political help, Perelman was able to take advantage of the S&L asset giveaway known as the Southwest Plan, in which he received the assets of six shut down Texas S&Ls for a nominal fee, while receiving a $900 million tax credit to cut his liabilities from the Revlon takeover. When Perelman divorced Golding, his lawyer was mob attorney Roy Cohn.
Up until he died of AIDS in the late 1980s, Cohn maintained intimate, behind the scenes ties to the ADL. According to internal ADL documents, Cohn was never placed on the League's directorate out of fear that the ADL would lose the financial backing of many prominent ex-Communists, who still detested Cohn for his antics during the 1950s Joe McCarthy Red Purges.
Another of Milken's raiders was Nelson Peltz, who bankrupted his family's frozen food business and was personally close to bankruptcy when he obtained Milken's backing to take a 9.5% share of Sterling Bancorp in 1980. Next, Milken helped Peltz and partner Peter May with a takeover of Triangle Industries, which they then used to leverage a $456 million bid for National Can, financed completely by junk bond sales by Milken.
In these cases, and hundreds more, Milken provided the financing by which the raiders took over corporate America. With almost unlimited funds, Milken bragged to an associate, "We're going to tee-up GM, Ford, and IBM. And make them cringe."
Milken's confidence came from the knowledge that behind all his investment wizardry stood a pool of nearly $6.25 TRILLION--the gross profits of the international dope trade from 1978-1990. Milken never owned up to his sources of capital. At the peak of his power, he would simply dash off "highly confident letters" informing takeover targets that he would be able to generate whatever amount of liquidity would be needed to buy out their companies.
Milken's other source of confidence was his deep connection to the ADL. Milken believed that by pouring money into the League's coffers, he would be forever "untouchable".
In 1987, for example, the Milken Family Fund gave $28,000 to the ADL Foundation-Christian Rescuers Project, and $10,250 to the ADL Foundation, in addition to a grant to the ADL of $344,000. The same foundation gave the ADL $29,000 in 1990.
The Capital Foundation, also under Milken's control, approved $1.245 million to the ADL for "future payment" in the year ending Nov. 30, 1989.
