KEEP STIRRING THE POT
NIXON'S FUNERAL
COMMENTS?? About the only comment I can find to express is "Oh my"! What an interesting list of farewell speakers were chosen! How sad and depressing that the beauty of the nation's top songs and "meanings" were expressed with such beauty and so "nothing" in content. Did I actually hear Kissinger at the point of tears? This is one of THE major players in the destruction of Nixon. Well, perhaps it was a dirty job but "somebody had to do it".
And the rest? Have you ever witnessed so many politicians together in their old age perhaps wondering what their own transition celebration would be like? No, I have no comments and neither do I JUDGE; it is not for me and it is not for you--to JUDGE A MAN. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO JUDGE EVERY ACTION BY THOSE YOU SET INTO SUCH HIGH OFFICE AND ALLOW THEM TO DESTROY AND COMMIT TREASON AGAINST THE VERY MOTHER THAT BIRTHED YOU.
We will move away from Jackson's story for this day and return to Rodney Stitch's Defrauding America. We are going to take up in the ending portions of his updated printing so that you who have the original will be able to catch up and also because it becomes more pertinent to this day. We are noting that our various authors are finding discrepancies in each other's material--EXCELLENT! They are also finding interactions appropriate and eye-opening. I am not going to correct much as we move along--that is better coming forth from the authors themselves as they reach unified "conclusions". When we get around to the "old" Phoenix Project and its relationship to our current project, then we will have a team worthy of recognition of TRUTH of presence and circumstance. It is always so much more interesting when you have ones of your own expression who HAVE BEEN THERE.
As we write this day I am choosing to again turn to the subject of Israel. I know that you think, "Oh dear, more blasting and assaults and everybody better duck". No, we are simply presenting more of the SAME material as already offered but with more and greater CONFIRMATION. Remember that we have a "battle" but WE ARE NOT AT WAR! MAN WILL HAVE HIS WARS--IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY THAT WE DO SO.
My hopes are, however, that you are awakening to your circumstances and considering a revolvement and reclamation of your nation and LAWS and regaining of FREEDOM. I know that most people refer to that action as "revolution". I choose not to define a reversal BACK into truth to be what today is defined as "revolution" for in most instances "revolution" represents WAR. You need no "wars" but rather you must define your actions and move into winning one battle at a time until you have retaken your property and freedom. Evil will ultimately devour itself. "I" pick no quarrel as my mission is to offer you readers FACTS and TRUTH that YOU MIGHT CHOOSE YOUR OWN ACTIONS FOR IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT MINE. BUT, DEAR ONES, I AM HERE IF YOU WANT ME!
DEFRAUDING AMERICA, Part 20
by Rodney Stitch
CHAPTER 28, PG. 507
ISRAEL, THE MOSSAD AND AMERICA
Israeli officials and agencies, and particularly its intelligence agency, the Mossad, aided and abetted many of the criminal activities described within these pages, inflicting great harm upon the American people. Without the assistance of the Israelis, some of the treasonous and subversive acts against the United States would not have been possible, especially the October Surprise operation. Israel was needed to transship the arms to Iran and to act as end-users on the bill-of-lading.
KILLING PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE
WITH ISRAELI POLICIES
Similar to CIA activities, and possibly worse in some respects, the Mossad doesn't hesitate to assassinate people whose lawful conduct irritates the Israelis. Gerald Bull, a Canadian scientist who developed the Super Gun used by Iraq, was killed by the Mossad at his Brussels apartment in March 1990 (Profits of War, Ari Ben-Menashe). Israeli assassination squads killed Bull to halt his development of the Supergun project for the Iraqis.
During that same time frame, Israeli agents were assassinating others, as reported by former Mossad officers Ari BenMenashe and Victor Ostrovsky in their books (Profits of War, by Ari Ben-Menashe; By Way of Deception, by Victor Ostrovsky and Claire Hoy). Nineteen people were killed by Israeli agents within several weeks in 1990, including eight German scientists hired by a company in Miami and who were traveling back and forth to Iraq; a German scientist, Hans Mayers, in a car "accident" in Munich; four Iraqi businessmen, and two Pakistani scientists in Britain. A television production aired on June 17, 1993, focused on the many killings by the Mossad, including the botched killing in Sweden of the wrong person by Mossad operative Michael (Freddy) Harari. One of the favorite stunts was to put a pressure sensitive plastic-explosive bomb in the victim's bed. When the intended victim lay on the bed the bomb went off. Another tactic was to place plastic explosives in a telephone handset, and when the person answered, and the caller identified him as the intended victim, the bomb would be set off by a signal carried over the telephone wire. Although the plastic explosive was small in size, it usually caused fatal injuries.
[H: Remember, readers: The New York Trade Center was bombed with use of what is called "AN ISRAELI BRIEFCASE BOMB".]
Victor Ostrovsky detailed the specifics of several of the killings by Israeli agents, describing the composition of the Israeli assassination department inside the Mossad as a small internal unit called kidon, divided into three teams consisting of approximately twelve men each.
Ostrovsky described the shooting down of a Boeing 727 operated by Libyan Arab Airlines by two Israeli jets, killing over a hundred people. He told how two Israeli agents killed Arab scientist Yahia El Meshad, by slipping into his apartment with a passkey and then cutting his throat while he slept. He also told how the Mossad killed a PLO official in Paris who was preparing to meet with the French Secret Service.
[H: I will interrupt here to point out that part of the reasoning behind offering the sordid experiences of Ronn Jackson in "his field of service" is so that you can catch onto some reality that these are actually things that happen and happen constantly and easily.I also ask that you all turn to the letter of Rayelan Russbacher in this edition of the paper and really read it. I will reprint portions herein because I ask that you think back to the incident with Dharma on "that" Sunday a while back when we had to move into action to protect our people. Bo Gritz ridiculed our interaction and made great sport of the events to cause total discounting of the incident. No, it was very real indeed and it was also entangled with Mossad agents. I reported that Ekkers (and an accompanying Special Forces officer) were enroute in the area of San Luis Obispo County to meet "Robert Walker", et al. Well, readers, Robert Walker is Gunther Russbacher and Gunther Russbacher is from a very, very high-level ruling family of Austria. If you think these encounters by death squads do not happen or are as "silly" as Gritz made it appear--forget it, go back and read Jackson's presentations--and THOSE involved were only drug dealers and filthy politicians. The Elite will not back off until they have to do so and our desire is to have that happen without encounters of hostility by beings out of your time frame and space warp. The Elite are just waiting to find the proper moment to dump the LIE of space alien invasion upon you--what will be your attitude? Well, so be it, for that is the reason we are so careful in this offering--so 'that you will KNOW differences and that TRUTH shall prevail even in the midst of the false stories and lies. Technology on your place is phenomenal so almost anything that you THINK is science fiction--is reality of experience these days. We will get back to this a bit later.]
A December 14, 1992, issue of SPOTLIGHT carried a story about Israeli assassination squads operating in foreign countries under the title, "Foreign Killers Run Loose in U.S.". The article related how Israeli-trained assassins, funded by U.S. taxpayers, are entering the United States, often with the help of the CIA, leaving a trail of unsolved and unreported killings. The report explained how the United States is funding Mossad's criminal operations in Third World countries.
Ben-Menashe's book portrays the Mossad's hiring of Arabs who unknowingly carried out terrorist attacks against Americans, inflaming the American public against the Arabs, who didn't know the attacks were planned and directed by the Mossad. He also tells how Mossad agents paid Palestinians to seize the Mediterranean cruise ship, Achille Lauro in 1985, which ended in the killing of one of the passengers. Ironically, the passenger was Jewish. Ari Ben-Menashe wrote in his book, Profits of War, that the attack upon the cruise ship was financed by Israel and its intent was "to show what a deadly, cutthroat bunch the Palestinians were". The American public was told that the attack upon the Achille Lauro was a Palestinian operation when in fact it was engineered and financed by Israel.
ISRAEL'S ADMISSION OF
WORLDWIDE ASSASSINATIONS
A London Observer article carried in the San Francisco Examiner on November 24, 1993 was headlined, "Israeli official admits unleashing assassins". The article described the practice of Israel's military-security establishments carrying out assassinations on a global basis, many of them specifically authorized by Israel's prime ministers, including Golda Meir. The article admitted the mistaken assassination of a waiter in the Norwegian town of Lillehammer, thinking the victim was a PLO terrorist, Ali Hasan Salameh. Israeli officials admitted the disclosures by retired Major General Aharon Yariv on state-controlled Israeli Television, but felt that the information should have remained secret.
SPREADING OPPRESSION
UN official Lt. Col. Tren Lagerkrantz said that the U.S. funded operation carried out by the Mossad has brought "nothing but oppression, cruelty, bloodshed, corruption and ultimately turmoil" to the backward regions where it operated. (The same, of course, applies to U.S. Intelligence Agencies). The SPOTLIGHT article quoted Lagerkrantz:
Since Congress has decided to grant the most aid to governments who agree to let Israel train and equip their security troops, it has been precisely those African nations where the Mossad has been most active--Sudan, Zaire, Somalia, Liberia--that have suffered the worst outbreaks of famine, violence and disorder.
AMERICAN VICTIMS
Israel didn't limit their assassinations to Arabs. Israeli forces deliberately machine-gunned and bombed a virtually unarmed U.S. Navy communication ship, the U.S.S. Liberty, off the coast of Lebanon on June 8, 1967. The Liberty carried clear markings indicating it to be an American ship, and Israel knew that. As the Israeli aircraft approached the Liberty, the fighter pilots radioed and protested to their base, "It's an American ship!" Tel Aviv disregarded the pilots' protests, and ordered the fighters to attack. The brutal and bloody assault continued for almost half an hour, during which time missiles, napalm, and torpedoes were used to kill thirty-four U.S. Navy men and injuring 171 others.
The U.S. sailors had intercepted Israeli radio communications relating to a planned attack on Syria which occurred the following day, and Israel felt the Americans would expose the sneak attack.
For damage control, to prevent the American public from learning the truth, the powerful U.S.-funded Israel lobby in the United States sprang into action with disinformation to the media, and pressure on members of Congress who were recipients of their political contributions (i.e., U.S. taxpayer's money). It worked. The American public never learned the truth. Even White House officials acted to protect Israel, publicly accepting Israel's apology that the attack was an accident. The American service men were expendable, as they were in Vietnam and other CIA operations.
Seeking to evade blame, Israel asserted that they thought the Liberty was another ship, the El Quseir. They were lying. But that Egyptian supply ship was in Alexandria, a fact known to Israel. The ugly truth of the deliberate killing of U.S. military personnel by Israel was shown through radio messages intercepted by the American embassy in Beirut, which were slowly and belatedly leaked out. In 1991, former U.S. Ambassador Dwight Porter revealed the radio communications intercepted by his office in Lebanon on that fateful day in 1967, revealing that Israeli commanders knew the ship was an American ship and that they were killing American sailors.
Porter's revelations are supported by Seth Mintz, a Major in Israel's IDF (Israeli Defense Forces). (Residing in Houlton, Maine. He was a U.S. citizen who went to Israel in 1962, joining the Israeli Army in 1965, and assigned to the IDF war room during the Six-Day War with Syria). Mintz was present in IDF headquarters for several hours before starting the attack on the U.S. communication ship. Shortly after Mintz made these statements he was threatened by Mossad agents; causing him to recant his earlier statements. In a dispatch in Ha'aretz on November 7, 1991, Mintz expressed "grave anxiety over the media interest in him" relating to the Liberty affair. He told Ha'aretz, "Everyone is after me now and that is what I'm afraid of. I don't need the Mossad (Mossad is the Israeli highly secret intelligence service and worldwide network of agents, much of it is funded by the United States) and Shin Bet (acts in a similar manner as the Mossad, performing for the military), knocking on my door". His knowledge of Mossad's assassination squads and their practice of assassinations certainly justified his anxiety.
The orders to attack the U.S. Navy communication ship came from a high Israeli official, reportedly General Yitzhak Rabin, who later became Israel's Laborite Prime Minister. President George Bush's White House staff tried to portray Israel's Rabin as a peacemaker, despite his long history of terrorist activities.
STEALING U.S. MILITARY SECRETS
Secret weapon technology sent to Israel has been repeatedly copied, stolen, and sold to foreign countries, violating agreements with the United States. In Dangerous Liaison--The Inside Story of the U.S. -Israeli Covert Relationship, authors Andrew and Leslie Cockburn describe the symbiotic relationship between the United States and Israeli intelligence networks, the stealing of nuclear fuel by Israel from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation plant at Apollo, Pennsylvania, in 1968; Israeli and CIA involvement with the Medellin drug cartel and Guatemalan death squads; and other treasonous activities. Dangerous Liaison describes the cover-up of the nuclear fuel theft by U.S. and Israeli officials, abdicating the loyalty to the United States and protecting those inflicting harm. Their book portrays the role played by the CIA and Mossad in drug trafficking, including relations with the Medellin drug cartel, and their role in the Guatemalan death squads.
Reports in the March 15, 1992, New York Times and Wall Street Journal related the long pattern of illegal sales by Israel of U.S. weapon technology. The articles revealed that Israel does this by either installing the U.S. components in an Israeli weapon system, or disassembling the weapon to discover how it works, and then constructing its own, selling the secret technology to foreign countries who may be hostile to the U.S. interests.
Israel received Patriot missiles worth hundreds of millions of dollars from the United States, and was required to keep the technology secret. Instead, Israel sold the patriot missiles and their technology to other countries, including China, in clear violation of U.S. law. A State Department report (New York Times, April 4, 1992), accused Israel of engaging for nearly ten years in a "systematic" pattern of reselling cutting-edge U.S. military technology to Third World countries, some of whom were adversaries to the United States.
The report described how Washington officials protected this unlawful transfer of U.S. technology by ordering U.S. investigators in Israel not to check on the destination of U.S. technology sent to Israel, as is required of all other countries. Israel, using money supplied by U.S. taxpayers, retains powerful Washington law firms and bribes U.S. officials to carry out their dirty work against the United States.
DOTAN AFFAIR
Another example of Israeli attacks upon U.S. interests was the Dotan affair, in which U.S. corporations paid bribes to Israeli officials, the bribes coming from U.S. taxpayers. Over $11 million in bribe money was diverted from General Electric Company through a small New Jersey front company to European bank accounts controlled by Israel Brigadier General Rami Dotan, who was convicted by an Israeli military court of theft and fraud. The case involved bribery, money-laundering, violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, insider trading, and espionage.
A General Electric official, Herbert Steindler, was considered a partner in the illicit schemes. Both General Electric and Pratt and Whitney knew the United States was being defrauded, but it was profitable for them to remain quiet, to become
coconspirators. Falsified Bills of Lading and shipment of fictitious equipment were
all part of the scheme that was paid by U.S. taxpayers. Shell companies were used
for facilitating the payoffs.
General Electric agreed to pay $69 million in fines, penalties and damages, and pleaded guilty to defrauding the United States in the sale of military equipment to Israel. Israeli officials impeded the investigation by U.S. officials, despite the fact that U.S. funds were involved.
Duplicating its denial of involvement in the October Surprise affair, the Israeli government claimed itself innocent in the Dotan matter. But the facts speak otherwise. It is believed that the millions of dollars diverted from engine orders of United Technologies and General Electric through front companies were for the purpose of Israeli covert operations. [H: Please note that anywhere a market is opened up in "other" countries, even Russian, General Electric IS ONE OF THE FIRST CORPORATIONS TO MOVE IN!! THIS FACT HELPS NEGATE ACCUSATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY FLOWING "FROM" THE U.S.--IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS LEGITIMATE MAIN-LINE OPERATION NOT EVEN NOTED BY THE U.S. This is the same for many other operations, like Kissinger Associates, et al., but it is a cute way to divert attention and not longer be locked into U.S. rules and regulations.]
Most of the diverted money came from U.S. foreign-aid programs destined for Israel. This money-diversion had been known to be standard and unlawful practice for years to members of Congress, its investigative arm, the General Accounting Office, and White House officials.
Congressman and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell stated that Congress has been reluctant to embarrass Israel politically. This attitude exists because of past retaliatory measures inflicted upon members of Congress by the Israeli lobby when Israel's activities were questioned.
POLLARD AFFAIR
Israeli agents paid a U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, Jonathan Jay Pollard, to steal military secrets, using a Washington apartment owned by attorney Harold Katz. Israel paid Pollard for his treasonous activities from the money given to Israel by the U.S. The seriousness of the spying operation was reflected by the life sentence given to Pollard on June 4, 1986, by Chief District Judge Aubrey Robinson in Washington. But Israel's Zionist lobby in the United States protected Israel from any fallout.
ISRAEL, THE MOSSAD, AND
DRUG TRAFFICKING
Several of my CIA informants, some of whom were pilots with me in the Middle East, described to me in minute detail the role they observed which the Mossad played in drug trafficking into the United States. These CIA people described their direct personal and business contracts with the Mossad, relating to the drug trafficking from South and Central America into the United States.
They described how Mossad agents, including Michael Harari and David Kimche, for instance, were present at many of the drug transshipment points and especially in Panama. They described to me the joint shipment of CIA and Mossad drugs in CIA and DEA aircraft, with the Mossad drugs identified by triangles on the drug packages, resulting from dissembling of the Star of David on the bags.
CIA AND THE MOSSAD
The CIA and Mossad have a symbiotic relationship, jointly inflicting great harm upon the United States, from the treasonous activities of October Surprise to the devastating drug epidemic destroying America. Together, they have inflicted unmeasurable financial and other harm upon the American people. Both engaged in assassinations and, while the CIA has by far the record in mass assassinations going into the tens of thousands, the Mossad has the record for individual assassinations in Europe and the United States.
Several of my CIA contacts have warned me against saying anything unfavorable about the Mossad or Israel in my book, making reference to the pattern of assassinations by the Mossad when they believe their interests are adversely affected.
The treasonous and subversive CIA October Surprise operation could not have occurred without the cooperation of the Mossad and other Israeli officials. They knew the October Surprise operation was defrauding the United States and became
co-conspirators. It was profitable for Israel. Israel was then able to blackmail officials in the government of the United States, including Presidents Ronald Reagan and then George Bush. Besides, any member of Congress who dared to investigate and retaliate against Israel faced the prospect of being defeated at the polls as the Zionist lobby routinely funds opposition candidates.
Former Mossad agent Ben-Menashe described Israel's involvement in the October Surprise operations, which conformed with statements made to me by several CIA people with whom I had been in frequent contact for several years, including Russbacher and Riconosciuto. Israeli agents were at the Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris meetings, as related to me by Russbacher and Ari Ben-Menashe. Israel knew the October Surprise operation was an act of treason, and they aided and abetted it.
ENORMOUS POWER OF THE
ISRAEL LOBBY
One of the most powerful forces in the United States is the Anti-Defamation League, whose parent is B'nai B'rith. Much of the money used to bribe members of Congress and other federal officials is sent to the United States by Israel, which obtains the money from U.S. loans and grants that are rarely repaid. Through its powerful Zionist group it can fund campaigns to defeat politicians not adhering to Zionist wishes.
ADL blocks any exposure of wrongful activities by Israel and its Mossad. It spends huge sums of money to oppose members of Congress whose interests are not aligned with Israel. Much of all of this money comes from the U.S. taxpayers who provide loans or grants that are not repaid. One tactic used to silence those who report or criticize the Mossad or Israel's conduct is to label them an anti-Semite. It is risky business for a public official to defend U.S. interests when it means confrontation with the Zionists. Apparently anyone who disagrees with Israel is anti-Semitic, and the vast control by Israel over the U.S. media will be sure the American people hear this version.
ADL has been able to defuse any attention focused upon unlawful activities of people connected with Israel or the Mossad. The ADL lauded a major Jewish crime figure, Morris Barney Dalitz of Las Vegas, who regularly donated heavily to the ADL. Dalitz was called Chairman of the Board to such crime figures as Meyer Lansky and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. Lansky and Siegel were members of the original "Murder Incorporated", also known as the Meyer and Bugsy Gang. An ADL chairman, Iry Rubin, was accused in 1992 of plotting a murder-for-hire operation.
In American Jewish Organizations and Israel, author Lee O'Brien states of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL):
In later years, ADL has turned to ... aggressive measures ... outright surveillance of individuals and groups, the results of which are fed into both the Israeli intelligence-gathering apparatus, via their consulates and embassy, and American domestic intelligence, via the FBI. Top ADL officials have admitted the use of clandestine surveillance techniques.
The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith has been functioning as the action arm of the Israeli Mossad in the United States. In 1993 an ADL spy scandal erupted in San Francisco, after which it was discovered that the ADL had been acting as proxy for the Mossad. The scandal surfaced after it was discovered that San Francisco police inspector Tom Gerard was stealing police intelligence files and selling them to the ADL. (San Francisco Chronicle, May 8, 1993)
It was learned during the investigation that Roy Bullock was an ADL operative spying on numerous individuals and groups in the United States. According to an April 9, 1993 Los Angeles Times article the ADL disguised payments made to Bullock by funnelling the money through Beverly Hills attorney Bruce Hochman, who in turn paid Bullock. Hochman was a prominent ADL figure, and a member of a panel appointed by Governor Pete Wilson to recommend the names of attorneys for federal judgeships. This helps explain why the inordinately high percentage of federal judges are Jewish.
During a three-hour press interview in the Philippines Gerard revealed that he was a former CIA operative and had evidence that the CIA trained, supported, and encouraged death squads operating in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala during the 1980s. The sheer brutality of the carnage was too much for him, and he left the CIA in 1985. "This was not good guys versus bad guys", Gerard said. "This was evil, evil. ... This was something the devil himself was involved in. And I wanted no part
of it".
Gerard described how the CIA supported the death squads that tortured and murdered thousands of people in Central America, including political opponents, union members, peasants, clergy, throughout Central America. Gerard stated that the San Francisco police and the FBI have joined forces to discredit him. Following its standard practice of lying, a CIA spokesman denied that Gerard had any relationship with the Agency.
CIVIL RIGHTS UNDER
ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT
Civil rights are largely ignored in Israel. Only those with Jewish mothers have full stature in Israel, a form of apartheid. Christians and Moslem Palestinians are deprived of their basic human rights in Israel, and United States has been subsidizing this Israeli socialism, or Israel's form of apartheid. The Israeli government regulates and controls almost every facet of personal and business endeavors.
In late 1992, Israeli officials deported 415 Palestinians from their homes, forcing them into the mountains, and barring relief supplies that the Red Cross tried to deliver to them. Those deported included doctors, accountants, lawyers, lecturers, and engineers, some of whom were elderly, and some of whom had heart problems or were crippled. They were driven into a no-man's land in the mountains as winter approached.
An Israeli human rights group (Betselem, the Israeli Center of Human Rights in the Occupied Territories) charged their government with routinely torturing Palestinian political prisoners, reporting that "Violence and ill-treatment have become an expected part of interrogations". The report stated that at least 5,000 of the 25,000 Palestinian prisoners jailed in the previous year had been tortured, while Palestinians stated the percentage was much higher. An April 3, 1993, New York Times article was entitled, "Israeli Study Finds Torture Common".
AMERICAN TAXPAYERS FUND
THESE ACTIVITIES
Israel depends upon the largesse of the United States government, and its powerful Israel lobby, as well as other Zionist groups, to fund these activities, including paying U.S. lobbyists, public relations firms, and members of Congress. Billions of dollars in loans have been given to Israel that will never be repaid, the cost of which must be borne by the American taxpayer, plus the interest on the money. In 1991 Israel literally demanded that the U.S. guarantee $10 billion in loans to build housing for Jews in land taken from Jordan.
Despite the enormous amount of gifts to Israel, their appreciation was reflected in the 1991 statement by Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, as he attempted to lay a guilt-trip on the United States, claiming it had an obligation to help settle Soviet Jews in Israel through the guarantee of a $10 million loan.
In 1991, the United States taxpayers paid over $4.3 billion in aid to Israel. Israel then invested these funds in U.S. savings bonds for which the United States paid Israel over $34 million in interest (on the money that the United States gave to Israel in the first place).
From 1974 to 1989, Israel received $16.4 billion in loans that would never be repaid. The loans were secretly converted to grants, which did not have to be repaid. The reason the White House officials referred to the money transfer as loans in the first place was to avoid U.S. oversight, which is required only of money grants. By this time the money had already been used, and there was no control over how it was used.
If Israel defaults on the $10 billion loan and the American taxpayer is forced to make the payments, interest and principle have been reported to total $116 billion over a 30-year repayment period.
ISRAELI CITIZENS HAVE SIMILAR
PROBLEMS_ WITH CORRUPT OVERNMENT
AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
Government officials in control of Israel's foreign relations and its intelligence agency, the Mossad, have engaged in a pattern of criminal acts inflicting great harm upon American citizens, including those of Jewish faith. This indictment of those operating under the flag of Israel does not indict the average citizen of Israel any more than the criminal activities by U.S. officials indict the average American.
More inside and secret information on the activities of the Mossad has been described in earlier pages, and more follows.

A PRIVATE WORD TO EKKERS:
I ask that this be left in the writing, please. I know that the realizations of the morning and yesterday are heavy upon you--please release it to me for there is nothing that you can do about these situations which have been set forth against you. Yes indeed, the plans to incarcerate you both and also bring down the Institute are REAL in the planning. However, you will note that you were warned and now you KNOW your enemies as well as those claimed to have helped set-you-up.
The major thrust is to close the voice of myself and the speakers in CONTACT and the stupid assumption is that to imprison my scribe will accomplish that fact.
No it won't--it will only strengthen the desire of the speakers of truth and citizens efforting to move back into freedom to make it a flaming torch as a voice for freedom.
I have worse news for you ones and that is that documentation will be arriving which will PROVE the association of Gary AnderSon with the Treasury Department and Gritz et al. association as inside troopers FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND IRS. SPIKE SESSIONS ARE NOW SET UP TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL TRUSTS ARE REVEALED AND PARTICIPANTS NAILED. Ones are also involved, in Idaho, where the heavy Gritz et al. thrust will be made, to have citizens attending to be arrested in mass. Yes, indeed you citizens will be incredibly bashed in facing the realizations involved herein--FOR YOU WILL KNOW THE NAMES!
Dharma, just put your hand in the hand of THE MAN, precious, for in HIM is thy deliverance! You ones have served diligently in the face of the ultimate price--and it will not be unrewarded. Let us attend our work and this too shall pass--and, dear ones, the heart wounds WILL heal. The path is strewn with thorns, chelas, but it matters not whether it be strewn with rose peitals OR thorns--if ye wear your heavy shields and boots. Remember it. If it would seem childish to pay attention to the warnings--ye shall be caught in the foolishness of such decisions. Watch for ALL clues and then wisdom shall be your passage markers. So be it.
I am confident that some of the following information will also be covered by staff at the paper for they too have the packet of documents. However, I wish to highlight the information which is important enough to merit duplication if it should occur.
As the "big boys" tear their hair and rent their robes in efforts to silence truth--it will, instead, flourish if you ones will hold the line--for the offensive plays, including the winning of the game, is at hand if you can gather and hold the team. There are some excellent patriot voices out there but you need a focus and we are going to make CONTACT that focus. It matters not, as we move along, how BIG it gets in order to contain the massive amounts of information--but it shall meet the needs as ones gather to form understanding and presentation.
Information from CONTACT is reaching the intelligence groups, government committees, etc., before it comes off the machine--AND THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN THINK OF TO STOP THE FLOW OF INFORMATION--FROM BRIBES TO THREATS AGAINST THE "TELLERS". REMEMBER, HOWEVER, THAT THESE PLAYERS ARE NOW ON MY TEAM AND THAT GIVES A WHOLE NEW SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES TO THE ASSAULTING ADVERSARY.
Since I want YOU to witness this, Dharma, I ask that you copy Jackson's letter and also request that the two enclosures be REPRINTED AS ARE. Then we will offer the information on Hoover. Thank you.
BUCKLEY CASE (TREASURYGATE)
TO R.M., CONTACT
4/22/94:
RE: BUCKLEY CASE
I am enclosing a copy of U.S. "Obligation" #66508, issued in August, 1967. This "Obligation" was issued for the purpose of obtaining CREDIT FOR MR. SADAM HUSEIN.
It was originally intended to be outstanding for a period of 6 months or less. While the terms show on the reverse side as being 1-1/4 % interest, that rate was only applicable if the debt was retired within the time frame of 6 months. If the debt exceeded the 6 months, a penalty of 24.5% was to be assessed to one year and the interest paid. The note could go on indefinitely with interest rising 1% point each 10 year period. Currently, the interest rate is 16.5% with the note or "Obligation" being in the 27th year and the face value of the 33 billion dollar note on 4-11-94 is: $803,299,650,005.84. What this shows is the irresponsibility of our leaders on a national level and the fraud being perpetrated on and against all of us--on a daily basis.
While three officers of government filed affidavits stating the document, and others, are a scam, why would this and other like documents be shown on the "TREASURY" and "FRB" (Federal Reserve Board) computer systems as OBLIGATIONS? WE KNOW WHY!

While sitting in my prison cell and going through my mail, I opened a manila envelope that contained your March 19, 1993 issue. There was no return address on the envelope and the postmark was dated 4-15-'94 and sent from San Francisco. I have never seen your publication; however, I am familiar with some of Mr. LaRouche's words and for the most part agree with them. Because of the content of one of the stories in that issue, I feel it necessary to write you and correct a couple of items and to fill-in some of the speculation contained in the story. The article of which I make reference is by Jeffrey Steinberg and is entitled "Judicial Corruption: It Didn't End With J. Edgar Hoover". It runs through pages 32-36 with a comment by author Anthony Summers on page 34.
On page 32, paragraph #2, you make reference to the Inslaw Case. It was me who "obtained" the source code to the PROMIS software, for another party. The purpose of doing so was to enter, into that software, sub-routines to monitor the U.S. Attorney's activities as that party was doing at the time to several computer systems including "Big Floyd", the FBI computer system. Both systems are being monitored to this day along with all other of the Government's many computer systems.
What was done to Mr. & Mrs. William Hamilton, the owners of "INSLAW", was done with criminal intent on the part of "my employer" and of the Government. The necessary evidence will be provided to the Hamiltons in the near future.
In paragraph 3, after reading this article, I called to a source and had
Mr. LaRouche's case checked out. There are several inconsistencies; however, not being a person with a legal background, I'm not sure what was given to me but I will say this, with my knowledge of the seamier side of this flaky and unconstitutional Government, the chances are that your "founder" stepped on the wrong toes. If a print-out of the Justice Department files on his case will help, please let me know. I had the entire files transferred to another location that is safe and secure.
Paragraph #4 mentions the former FBI Director, William Sessions. As a Judge in Texas he administered a couple of loyalty oaths on some projects in which I was involved (to me).
While the media reported that his removal was due to his run-in with William Barr and his abuses of his business expenditures, the real reason for his removal was a statement made to my former "employer" about his plans for accessing Social Security and other files. While Government is planning to make all those files available to all of Government and others, Mr. Sessions had the a-typical Government Big-Mouth Syndrome which is not in vogue with the leftist philosophies of the current administration. (That is, unless you are in the inner-circle of the "Clintons". Number 2, Mr. Talbott and #3, Ms. Acheson of Justice who are students of Lenin and Hegel).
I do not know Mr. Anthony Summers nor have I read his book on J. Edgar Hoover--nor did I ever speak to Mr. Hoover or Mr. Tolson; however, on page 34, 3rd paragraph, there were not 2 men. There were four and they worked for Bill Casey. There were two (2) file cabinets and they contained 2.319 Alpha Files. Casey gave them to me and the contents of those files will be the basis for a book, The Death of Camelot, Book 5, THE HOOVER FILES. Both Susan Rosensteil, Joe McCarthy, and the rest of the garbage at the time are in those files. The book will be on the market in 1995.
The last 4 paragraphs on page 36, Column 2, state: "We told you so". I have to apologize for not seeing or hearing your words. In the next few months I shall rectify several injustices perpetrated on the citizens of our Great Country and perhaps I can assist Mr. LaRouche. Please continue with your excellent magazine and, with the spirit of the Constitution on our side, we will bury all forms of tyranny--I do so solemnly swear.
/s/Ronn Jackson
P.S.: "The Death of Camelot is a 5-book series. Book #1 will be released shortly. Your magazine might find it interesting. I also suggest you check into Case #CV-N-93-401-DWH, U.S. District Court, Reno, NV. It might be of interest.

QUOTING:
JUDICIAL CORRUPTION: IT DIDN'T END
WITH J. EDGAR HOOVER
by Jeffrey Steinberg
Calls for a cleanout of the U.S. judiciary system are growing by the day, from many different parts of the political spectrum. Last autumn, the Washington Post ran a six-part series cataloguing a horrifying pattern of prosecutorial abuses by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and its chief investigative arm, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The Post was joined shortly after the Clinton inauguration by Time magazine, which ran a four-page story warning the new President that his greatest challenge would be reform of the Justice Department and FBI. Such ideologically diverse publications as Forbes and Mother Jones magazines have joined the drumbeat with recent cover stories; and Rep. Jack Brooks (D-Tex.), chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, has mooted the creation of a congressional select committee to probe corruption in the federal judicial system.
An ongoing probe of the Justice Department's handling of the Inslaw case, involving DOJ trickery, fraud, and deceit leading to the bankrupting of a small Washington computer firm, could lead to the appointment of an independent counsel to look into that scandal further.
And, most important, Congress and the Executive branch are being inundated with calls and letters from the United States and abroad, demanding a reversal of the judicial railroading of political economist Lyndon LaRouche, carried out on orders of the Bush White House over four years ago. LaRouche is now in his fifth year of a
15-year federal prison sentence, on totally invented conspiracy charges.
Over at the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C., FBI director William Sessions is facing an internal revolt, led by old-time Hooverites, who are reportedly furious about--among other things--his support for Black and Hispanic agents battling against Bureau discrimination. On the eve of the presidential elections, Sessions earned the wrath of President Bush and Attorney General William Barr, for probing a DOJ cover-up of the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) banking scandal, to conceal U.S. and Italian government high-level collusion in the secret arming of Iraq. Barr counterattacked against Sessions by dredging up a string of petty allegations about personal corruption by the FBI boss and his senior aides, based largely on leaks from Bureau "old boys" out to regain control over "The House That Hoover Built". President Clinton is now faced with the decision whether or not to fire Sessions, who is midway through a 10-year appointment. [H: Of course we all NOW know what happened as that was done.]
In the midst of this swirl of corruption charges, new revelations about the FBIs legendary former director, John Edgar Hoover, have surfaced, providing a crucial framework for understanding how it was possible that the federal government's judicial and police functions could fall into such a state of malaise. Twenty-one years after Hoover's death, a small army of eyewitness has at long last come forward to recount horror stories about the FBI under Hoover. Thousands of pages of previously classified documents have been released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), corroborating much of the eyewitness reporting.
The Boston Globe, in an editorial published on Feb. 9 (the day that the Public Broadcasting Service televised an hour-long documentary about the Hoover era), appropriately warned its readers against thinking that the Hoover exposé was a matter of history: "The demystifying of Hoover should not be classified as an academic history lesson. It also offers a political moral. The better Americans understand how this crime fighter of legend was really a pawn of organized crime, the devoted civil servant a blackmailer of elected Presidents, the chief defender against subversion the ultimate subversive, the better they will know how to guard themselves against the Hoovers of the future".
'OFFICIAL AND CONFIDENTIAL'
The source of many of the revelations is a just-published biography of J. Edgar Hoover by British investigative journalist Anthony Summers. Summers spent over four years gathering the material of Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1993). The book is a damning indictment of Hoover and the entire FBI. It reveals that the federal agency responsible for combatting organized crime was led for 48 years by a man deeply tied to Meyer Lansky, the chairman of the board of the National Crime Syndicate. Hoover's marriage to the mob afforded him access to blackmail material on every top elected official in Washington, material he used frequently and ruthlessly. Yet Hoover himself was addicted to gambling and was a notorious homosexual. Photographs and other evidence of Hoover's sexual escapades were in the files of Meyer Lansky, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), and its postwar successor, the CIA.
Although Summers does not provide any direct documentation, it is impossible to conceive that the Soviet intelligence services were not equally aware of Hoover's obscene sexual and gambling appetites. The implications of such Soviet access to the "Hoover File" should force a reassessment of some of the most significant events of the Cold War.
The picture that emerges from the Hoover story is a tragedy. Presidents, senators, and congressmen were ruled for decades by fear and extortion. Some of the most profound decisions affecting the future of the United States were made, not on the basis of principles or the merits of argument, but were based upon secret police methods of coercion.
[NOTATION: On page 34 is an "Author's note" which will be printed at the ending of the article.]
There is a strong implication in the Summers book that, when the traditional blackmail and extortion methods did not work, Hoover had no qualms about resorting to murder. Hoover's power struggle with the Kennedy brothers, John and Robert, were resolved only by assassins' bullets. An even stronger case is made by Summers that Hoover was in some way involved in the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. While it would be foolish, in light of all the evidence now publicly available, to presume that Hoover was solely responsible for those three tragic murders, the vital role of the Hoover FBI in covering up the assassinations was so important that it is hard to conceive that he was not a least a major player in setting up the executions in the first place. [H: Bear with us, readers, as we unfold the "Camelot" story as offered by Ronn Jackson so that we are not side-tracked by these particular observations. We can only do so much in a day and present even less in a paper--so please allow us continued focus without interruptions for interrupting side-details. Thank you. It is all going to get told!]
Hoover's personal attitude toward the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King was demonstrated by the director's itinerary the days after John Kennedy and Martin Luther King were shot: he went to the race track, arm-in-arm with his sometime homosexual lover, FBI Deputy Director Clyde Tolson. [H: It is important to go back NOW and refer to the line of power within Clinton's inner-circle as refers to TOLSON and Ms ACHESON "of Justice". You are going to really get annoyed and nauseated as you read on....]
THE ANAL-SADISTIC PERSONALITY
The strongest feature of Summer's biography of Hoover is the deep insight it provides into the director's personality, largely through the eyewitness accounts of people who were integral to Hoover's career and private life.
Born in 1895 and raised in Washington, D.C., Hoover was the youngest of four children of Anna and Dickerson Hoover. His mother was from a well-to-do Swiss Calvinist family. His father was a government print-maker who had a mental breakdown during World War I and spent much of the rest of his life in and out of mental institutions. He died of his mental illness in 1921, and Hoover never discussed his father, not even with his most intimate associates.
Hoover got his first job at the Department of Justice through family connections (his mother's cousin was a top DOJ attorney, soon to be appointed to a federal judgeship). Hoover's first substantive work involved the pursuit of aliens, particularly German aliens. It was the eve of the Red Scares and the Palmer Raids of the early 1920s. Hoover's zealous pursuit of aliens earned him a job with the FBI. His personal role in the 1919-20 Palmer Raids positioned him to win the directorship in May 1924.
Forty-eight years later, Hoover was still the FBI director, despite widespread belief throughout official Washington that he had become completely senile. Nearly deranged and prone to rambling diatribes about the "commie menace" and the sex lives of prominent Washingtonians, Hoover nevertheless remained in office. The key to his power was the private blackmail files he maintained on the nation's most powerful figures.
The night that Hoover died, his closest aides showed up at his home and at his office and carted off truckloads of those secret smut files. Their continued existence assured that the Hoover legacy would survive, even after the director himself was laid in the ground.
Through scores of interviews with longtime friends and enemies of the director, Summers established beyond a doubt that J. Edgar Hoover was a very particular brand of homosexual; the kind that in public maintained a fanatically puritanical code of morality and conducted brutal purges of suspected homosexuals in the government, while in private engaging in the most degrading and obscene acts.
One principal source of this information used by Summers was Susan Rosensteil, the wife of Lansky syndicate operative Louis Rosensteil. A Prohibition-era bootlegger, Rosensteil used his ill-gotten gains to found Schenley's Liquor Company. Despite his nominally legitimate business ventures, Rosensteil remained a front-man for the Lansky Syndicate, laundering black market money and handling the illegal bookmaking for some of America's power elite. According to his widow, Rosensteil was J. Edgar Hoover's bookie. He, along with former Joe McCarthy aide and mob lawyer Roy Cohn, was also Hoover's pimp.
In a televised interview with PBSs Frontline and in a sworn statement to Anthony Summers, Susan Rosensteil described two separate instances in which she was present at parties at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, where Hoover dressed in women's clothes and engaged in homosexual acts with young men.
The second incident described by Mrs. Rosensteil was particularly noteworthy: "A year later, according to Susan, Rosensteil asked her to accompany him to the Plaza again. She agreed, in return for an expensive pair of earrings from Harry Winston's, and the procedure was the same as on the previous occasion. Cohn ushered them into a suite to find Edgar, again attired in female finery. His clothing this time was even more outlandish. 'He had a red dress on,' Susan recalled, 'and a black feather boa around his neck. He was dressed like an old flapper, like you see on old tin-types.
"'After about half an hour, some boys came, like before. This time they're dressed in leather. And Hoover had a Bible. He wanted one of the boys to read from the Bible. And he read, I forget which passage, and the other boy played with him, wearing rubber gloves. And then Hoover grabbed the Bible, threw it down and told the second boy to join in the sex".
The incident described by Susan Rosensteil took place in 1959, at the very height of Hoover's power. Just a few years earlier, Hoover had been initiated into the 33rd degree of the Southern Jurisdiction Scottish Rite Freemasonic Lodge. Hoover had been a Mason since the early 1920s, and many of his most trusted hands at the Bureau were also members of the secret society.
Louis Rosensteil was more than just a pimp and a bookie for Hoover. So intimate were the two men, that Hoover deployed his chief FBI publicist, Lou Nichols, to work for Schenley's as vice president in charge of public relations. Rosensteil also set up the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation, and it was the foundation that financed the building of a memorial room to honor Hoover at the Scottish Rite Temple a few blocks from the White House.
WHAT SUMMERS OVERLOOKS
On many occasions during Hoover's 48 years at the helm of the FBI, victims of his wrath drew the parallel between Hoover's FBI, Hitler's Gestapo, and Stalin's NKVD. His personality was certainly that of a Heinrich Himmler or a Lavrenti Beria.
Hoover was a known entity. His homosexuality was the worst kept secret in America. Every winter, he and Clyde Tolson vacationed at the southern California resort hotel of Texas oilmen Clint Murchison and Sid Richardson. They hobnobbed openly with well-known gangsters. The Lansky Syndicate covered all of Hoover's horse track bets. When he won, they paid him off, and when he lost, they "forgave"
his debts. Hoover and Tolson attended the horse races at Del Mar, sitting in a VIP box at the finish line. The owner of the box was the head of the Mattachine Society, one of the first homosexual organizations in America, founded by members of the Communist Party U.S.A. All of the regulars at Del Mar knew that anyone sitting in that box was a "fairy"--to use the terminology of the day. The Soviet intelligence services and the FBI coexisted inside the Communist Party and, according to some historians of the Cold War, used the CPUSA as a back channel for intelligence collusion.
In other words, even though Hoover's exploits were kept from the general public until long after his death in May 1972, his homosexuality, his protection of the mob, and his blackmailing of public officials were all well known among members of the establishment, East and West. To presume, as Summers does, that the key to the Hoover file was his blackmail by organized crime, is to miss the fundamental nature of the beast.
Hoover was installed in power at the point that the United States was falling under the domination of an Anglo-American oligarchical cabal, out to overturn everything positive that the United States had once stood for. The creation of the FBI, like the creation of the Federal Reserve System and the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, all at the same time, signaled the consolidation of enormous power by this faction.
J. Edgar Hoover was groomed and elevated into the FBI director's job because of his obscene profile. He shaped an institution around that profile, and the institution carried forward that profile after Hoover's own demise.
WE TOLD YOU SO...
In 1979, when the Carter administration Justice Department and FBI launched Operations Abscam and Brilab, Lyndon LaRouche warned that this was the beginning of the end of representative self-government in the United States. He called upon Congress and the labor movement to stand up and resist the blackmail and frameups by the federal police. They did not do so.
Earlier, in the mid-1970s, LaRouche and his associates had mocked the FBI and Hoover in a series of political cartoons recounting the tales of a mythical FBI man, "Fearless Fuzzdick". In several of the cartoon strips, FBI men were portrayed as transvestites.
Neither LaRouche nor any of his associates had been enlightened by Susan Rosensteil or any of the other witnesses to the Hoover drag shows. It was self-evident in the nature of the FBI's political operations that, as individuals, the top FBI people were depraved.
The Summers book does an admirable job of documenting that depravity. What remains to be seen is whether the Congress, the White House, and the American people will launch a genuine effort to restore the Constitution and dismantle the police-state apparatus.
End of Article proper but we will now offer from page 34 [of EIR]:
SUMMERS: DISMANTLE THE FBI'S
BLACKMAIL FILES
Author Anthony Summers released the following comments on his probe of J. Edgar Hoover on Feb. 16:
Readers will be appalled, first, to discover for themselves that Hoover's abuses were every bit as bad as his critics claimed. And once they take that on board, I think
it will dawn on them that, for decade after decade, this man succeeded in pulling the wool over the eyes of the American people. They will realize the leading role he played in using the threat of Communism within the United States--a threat which even he came to dismiss in private--to keep the nation in a state of panic. This was a pervasive fear, one which distorts American political life to this day. Readers will realize, too, that the man who held himself up as a God-fearing standard-bearer of morality, democracy and the American Way was in reality the very opposite--
a hypocritical, corrupt man who institutionalized the suppression of essential freedoms.
Hoover was able to pressure Presidents and make them aware of his power in such a way that even when they wanted to remove him, they couldn't. Hoover created his own massive propaganda department at the Bureau, building himself up, through the '30s and '40s, as a national figure. As one President after another discovered, you can't just turn around and fire a national icon. More importantly, Hoover became an asset to those in power. Every President from Roosevelt to Nixon--Eisenhower came closest to being the honorable exception--used the FBI in ways that, if known at the time, would have seemed unacceptable to most citizens. By doing so, those leaders essentially delivered themselves into Hoover's hands.
Newly released White House tapes show that the Nixon administration had been worrying--panicking even--about what Hoover had in his files. Later, during the Watergate probes, investigators were told there had been plans to break into Hoover's home before he died--perhaps even to murder the man. The morning Hoover died, when the undertakers arrived, they found men swarming through his house, ransacking the place. Hours earlier, according to neighbors, two men were seen removing a heavy load wrapped in a quilt. Someone, evidently, thought the director had squirreled away some of his secrets at home. [H: Please refer to Jackson letter.] Meanwhile, despite orders to seal his office, many files were spirited away from FBI headquarters before Nixon's new acting director could get to them. Some were destroyed by Hoover's longtime assistant Helen Gandy. Others were reportedly kept by his aide and lover Clyde Tolson, and retrieved by the FBI when he in turn died.
THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED
A congressional inquiry failed to find out for sure what happened to the secret and sensitive files that were removed from headquarters. I suspect most were destroyed. But there's no doubt that the massive file systems still maintained at the FBI contain information that should never have been collected in a democratic society. Some of it would probably harm prominent people still alive, and certainly there is data that could smear the memory of revered politicians now dead. It is small consolation that much of the information the FBI gathered was baseless gossip.
I would second the call Anthony Lewis made in the New York Times recently, that the Clinton administration should promptly force all agencies to disgorge their files on American citizens on request of the citizens involved. This should be the case anyway
--had the Reagan and Bush administration not castrated the Freedom of Information Act. Finally, and most important, we must show that the lesson of Hoover's abuses has been learned. We should prohibit the investigation of Americans because of their beliefs or associations.

Let us leave this now as we have other pressing needs. Thank you for sticking with me, chela. I know it is getting more difficult as this day progresses. However, I think it wise if you go forth and do other things as well. Rome was not built in a day and neither is FREEDOM easy to acquire and it is ever so much more difficult to maintain. Walk with me, friends, I have a very large hand...! In brotherhood, Salu.
