Héritage colonialiste oblige: malgré le changement de gouvernement le Canada maintient sa position et restera le meilleur ami d’Israël. Chacune des 6 résolutions de l’Onu contre Israël rejetées par le Canada.

 

GEORGETOWN – Justin Trudeau is banking on multimillionaire Stephen Bronfman to turn around the Liberal Party’s financial fortunes in order to take on the formidable Conservative fundraising machine.

Although Mr. Bronfman – a philanthropist and executive chairman of Claridge Inc., the Montreal-based private-equity firm started by his father – is a relative newcomer to politics, he will be a key player for the Liberals. Fundraising is crucial in order to counter Tory attacks in the periods between elections. A long-time family friend of Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Bronfman will also be a top adviser to the Liberal Leader.

Tanned and dressed casually in a blue blazer and crisp checked shirt, Mr. Bronfman exuded confidence Wednesday at the Liberal summer caucus over what he had to do to fill Liberal coffers.  His job is made easier, he suggested, because Mr. Trudeau is a hot commodity.  Mr. Bronfman should know. He is the grandson of Samuel Bronfman, from the storied Canadian family that made its business fortune in Quebec by building the Seagram empire. But unlike most of his family members who have since left Canada, Stephen Bronfman stayed and continues to be a mainstay on the Montreal charity circuit.

“Justin is very, very saleable,” he said to reporters. “He’s got a great name and people want to find out who he is.”  Mr. Bronfman helped raised $2-million for Mr. Trudeau’s leadership campaign. In a separate interview with The Globe and Mail, he said that 25 per cent of what was raised then was through on-line donations – an area that will be a focus of his efforts in his new role. It’s a way of reaching the younger demographic that seems to be intrigued by Mr. Trudeau.

“It’s part of the three-pronged attack,” he said. “You have online, you have direct mail, you have private events. Online is something that is growing in every area for anyone in fundraising … smaller donations for a younger demographic. That’s how you reach out to the next gens.”

Mr. Bronfman said younger Canadians don’t respond to direct-mail appeals and can’t afford to write a cheque at a cocktail party – but he suggested that they will donate in smaller amounts.  For example, Trudeau officials believe that their leader’s position on legalizing marijuana will be an issue that will be a popular one and will help raise money.

But Mr. Bronfman is well aware of what he’s up against. The Tories are strong fundraisers and were able to use their war chest to define previous Liberal leaders as weak and ineffective.  Mr. Bronfman was introduced to MPs and senators at the caucus retreat, where they heard about the progress of their fundraising and membership.

The Liberals’ supporter class, created to increase flagging membership, has grown to 250,000, from 127,000 last April. As well, there are now 56,000 members, compared with fewer than 20,000 when Mr. Trudeau took over, according to one official.

More importantly, for the first time in years, there were more Liberal donors than the Tories had contributing to their war chest. Elections Canada’s second-quarter results for 2013 show that the Tories had 30,437 individual donors and the Grits 38,014.

The Conservatives collected $4.8-million in that second quarter compared with $2.9-million for the Liberals. However, the Grits are still pleased and are working to replicate the Tories’ consistent ability to raise funds through small amounts donated by many people. The average Liberal donation now is $77. The maximum allowed for an individual to donate is $1,200.

The Liberals had relied on big corporate donations before political financing legislation that banned union and corporate donations was introduced in 2004 – and later the Tories began phasing out the per-vote taxpayer subsidy. It will be eliminated by 2015.

The changes to political financing hit the Liberals hard, forcing them into trying to build lists of supporters and push for small donations from a bigger pool.

To further beef up his fundraising team, Mr. Trudeau added a full-time fundraising director, Christina Topp.

The former World Wildlife Fund official begins next week. She had previously worked with Gerald Butts at WWF. Mr. Butts, Mr. Trudeau’s top aide and architect of his successful leadership bid, is also a savvy fundraiser – during his tenure at WWF he helped raise about $25-million a year.

Mr. Bronfman is hoping to win back the Jewish community, whose fundraising dollars have been going more and more to the Tories because of the party’s pro-Israel stand.

“We’ll work hard on that,” said Mr. Bronfman, adding that “Stephen Harper has never been to Israel and I took Justin there five years ago and he was referring at the end of the trip to Israel as ‘we.’ So I thought that was pretty good.”

Mr. Bronfman will be involved with big fundraising events. He is a good friend of environmentalist David Suzuki and sits as a director on the board of the David Suzuki Foundation.

As for selling Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Bronfman said that his candour is “playing well across all ages.”

“I think people today want to hear that.”

GEORGETOWN ROYALTY, PEI – Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau may be closer to Israel than Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Liberal party’s new chief fundraiser [Stephen Bronfman] suggested Wednesday.

“Stephen Harper has never been to Israel,” Stephen Bronfman said bluntly. “I took Justin there five years ago and he was referring at the end of the trip to Israel as we. So I thought that was pretty good.”

When Harper’s Conservatives came to power in 2006 and moved Canada’s position on the Middle East closer to Israel, many members of Canada’s Jewish community began to vote with their wallets, shifting their political donations to the Conservative party.

The Conservatives have also actively wooed Jewish Canadians. Some have been surprised to receive cards at their homes marking Jewish holidays. Last year Harper hosted a menorah lighting ceremony to celebrate Hannukah at the prime minister’s residence.

Rick Roth, press secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, says the relationship is deeper than niceties, reiterating the refrain that under the Harper government, Israel has had no greater friend than Canada.

“Canada stands for what is principled and just, regardless of whether it is popular, convenient, or expedient,” said Roth.

Bronfman, whose family is one of the most prominent in Canada’s Jewish community, says reversing that shift won’t be easy.

“It’s a challenge,” he admitted. “Harper and the Conservatives have been very pro-Israel and we’ve got to win back the community so we’ll work hard on that.”

Asked about a comment by Liberal Party President Mike Crawley that there isn’t that much that separates the Liberals and Conservatives on Israel as people think, Bronfman was discreet.

“We all have the same goals. That is just to have a good policy and do the best we can – raise money from all communities, Jews, Muslims, Indians, you name it.”

Bronfman has his work cut out for him. In 2012, The Conservative party fundraising outpaced the Liberal party by nearly two to one, pocketing $17 million to the Liberals’ $8.9 million. The NDP raised $7.6 million.

However, Bronfman refused to reveal exactly what target, if any, he has set for fundraising in 2013.

“The goal is to raise a lot of money and help Justin become prime minister.”

“It takes a lot of money. The Conservatives raise a lot of money and we have got to raise an equal amount of money.”

Crawley said Bronfman did a good job on Trudeau’s leadership campaign and he believes Bronfman can help the Liberal party tap into a wide range of supporters, including people who haven’t necessarily donated to a political party in the past.

Tellement riches et influents qu’ils se méritèrent le titre de « Rothschild du Nouveau Monde »! (Bien que le patriarche Sam Bronfman récusa cette comparaison: « J’ai arrangé les choses bien mieux que les Rothschild. Ils ont dispersé les enfants. Je les ai gardé unis« , disait-il, en référence à l’État sioniste qu’il a aidé à établir et renforcer encore plus que les internationalistes Rothschild n’ont jamais pu le faire eux-mêmes.)

The Bronfmans’ Leveraged Leviathan

By CLYDE H. FARNSWORTH For The New York Times
Published: May 24, 1992
Back in 1979 two of Canada’s great dynastic business families seemed headed for a sensational confrontation. The Bronfman brothers, Edward and Peter — they’re the « other » Bronfmans, not the Seagram branch of the family — and the Reichmann brothers, Paul, Albert and Ralph, coveted a real estate holding company called Trizec Corporation. Trizec was the company through which William Zeckendorf, the New York developer, assembled an impressive collection of Canadian properties.
The Bronfmans, intent on building a real estate empire, had taken a 37 percent stake in Trizec three years earlier. Then the Reichmanns, busy building their own empire, came along and snapped up a 35 percent stake. The looming collision over who would control Trizec promised to be as exciting as any plot a potboiler novelist might dream up.
But one day some of the Bronfmans’ lieutenants bumped into Paul Reichmann in a hotel lobby. After a 10-minute chat, they discovered that the Reichmanns really only wanted Trizec as an investment. They were perfectly willing to let the Bronfmans continue running it.
Corporate Canada is, if anything, a vast web of interlocking companies owned by a handful of wealthy families — the Bronfmans, Reichmanns and Belzbergs, for example. Typically, one family group takes stakes in the operations of another and puzzling out who owns what, and where profits and losses do or don’t flow from, is akin to peeling away the layers of the proverbial onion.
So it was no surprise that the hotel-lobby conversation 13 years ago led to a partnership deal between the Bronfmans and the Reichmanns, a deal that still stands today. And it also is no surprise that the Edper Group, as the Bronfmans’ holdings are called, is now under intense scrutiny because of the bankruptcy filing here 10 days ago by the Reichmanns’ Olympia & York Developments Ltd.
The question now asked by investment bankers, stock analysts and executives across Canada is this: Are the Bronfmans next? The answer is as elusive as details of the workings of Edper and the Bronfmans, who, like the Reichmanns, are legendary for their secrecy.
Edper’s Long Reach
Edper is about five times larger than Olympia & York and reaches even more deeply into Canada’s economic life. There are linkages through not only their joint ownership of some assets, like Trizec, but also the tens of millions of dollars of loans made by Edper companies to Olympia & York. And the two groups do business in some of the same sectors, particularly real estate, which has been rattled deeply by the Reichmanns’ troubles.
Edper is a sprawling conglomerate of 500 private companies and 40 public companies with 100,000 employees and assets of $100 billion (Canadian). By some estimates the publicly traded companies account for more than 10 percent of the the Toronto Stock Exchange’s capitalization.
Some of the jewels in the Edper crown: Canada’s largest concerns in forest products (MacMillan Bloedel), mining (Noranda) and insurance (London Insurance); Canada’s second-largest trust company (Royal Trust) and brewer (John Labatt), and such huge real estate operating companies as Trizec, which alone has assets of nearly $12 billion and owns 72 percent of Bramalea Ltd., itself a troubled real estate company with extensive United States holdings.
« I do think we’ll come out whole, » said Willard J. L’Heureux, 44, a lawyer and key strategist for the group. He runs Hees International Bancorp Inc., Edper’s merchant bank. (The Bronfman brothers declined to be interviewed for this article.)

Machers in Meltdown
By Craig Horowitz

(…)“If an investigation of Jewish organizational life takes place, I promise you that the last person standing will be Israel Singer,” he says, referring to the Brooklyn rabbi who is at the center of the controversy.

Since 1979, Singer and billionaire Edgar Bronfman have skillfully and productively run the powerful World Jewish Congress. But for the past eighteen months, the WJC has been embroiled in a vicious internal battle, fueled by money, politics, and vast egos. The fight has been so acrimonious and mean-spirited that it threatens the very existence of the 68-year-old institution.

Accusations of mismanagement, bizarre bank transactions, stolen e-mails and computer files, intimidation, and cover-ups, which stretch from New York to Geneva to Jerusalem, have reached a decibel level that has attracted the attention of the New York State attorney general’s office, which is in the midst of a preliminary investigation. Though the attacks focus mostly on Singer, Herbits, a longtime employee of Bronfman’s who was brought onboard six months ago to manage the crisis, seems to take it very personally. “There are no illegalities in Israel Singer’s behavior, and that is not true of some of the leaders of these other organizations,” he says, standing now.

“I know it and they know it and they better be careful, because if they cause enough problems in the press, then this organization won’t be the only one that has a preliminary inquiry from the attorney general’s office. Then you’ll see some real fireworks.”

Though the accusations he makes about other Jewish organizations are serious and sweeping—false IRS filings, misuse of funds, “outlandish” benefits packages, and lying to the government—Herbits refuses to name names. “You’re not going to get me to do that,” he snaps. “I’m not going to play that game.”

But given the chance, he doesn’t back down. Instead he ratchets up the rhetoric a notch. “I’m not going to sit by and let this organization take the rap for their behavior,” he says. “If we get into that kind of pissing match, this organization ain’t going down by itself.”

The man who built the organization, Edgar Bronfman, the street-smart, sometimes coarse, bullying businessman who took over the Seagram liquor dynasty started by his father, Sam, is commonly regarded as the king of Jewish philanthropy. In fact, there are some people who would simply call him king of the Jews.

Since he rescued the World Jewish Congress from the edge of extinction more than two decades ago, Bronfman, 75, has been its president, chief benefactor, and guiding force.(…)

Meanwhile in America, more and more people are on TV calling the Holocaust [sic] a “hoax”…and making wild accusations against “Zionist bankers” and “bloodsucking Jews”-as we saw with the televised interviews with Louis Farrakhan several months ago. And for every Farrakhan, we know of hundreds of lesserknown, BUT EQUALLY DANGEROUS, anti-Semitic leaders.
Edgar M. Bronfman, president World Jewish Congress

While real Scotch whiskey might be aged for two to twelve years, Bronfman Scotch could be aged in about two days….What no one noticed, either-not even Sam Bronfman himself-was that with this haphazard mixing of alcohol, real whiskey, and other ingredients, Bronfman was in the process of inventing a whole new category of alcoholic beverage: blended whiskey.

Sam Bronfman was bootleggin’ enough whiskey across the Canadian border to double the size of Lake Erie. It was no wonder that wags in the liquor trade were beginning to refer to Lake Erie as “the Jewish lake.”

Bronfman holdings have been immense, including such famed companies as Campbell Soup, Schlitz Brewing, Colgate-Palmolive, Kellog, Nabisco, Norton Simon, Quaker Oats, Paramount Pictures, Kodiak boots and Hush Puppies shoes.

The Bronfmans held an interest in the Ernest W. Hahn Co. (which operated 27 shopping centers in California and had plans for another 29) and the Trizec Corp., one of North America’s biggest property development companies.

They controlled the Shannon Mall in Atlanta and the Galleria in Westchester, N.Y. and a shopping center in Hickory, N.C. Bronfman controlled industrial parks in and near Los Angeles, office towers in Denver and San Francisco, and housing developments in Nevada, California and Florida, as well as Houston-based General Homes Consolidated, building houses in Mississippi and Alabama.

And they owned vast tracts of land in Virginia outside Washington, D.C.

And although the famous “Du Pont” name appeared on company products, the real power behind the scenes was Bronfman who—not content with owning 20% of the distinguished institution—took complete control in 1981, ultimately divesting his holdings.

Exactement comme Rothschild! Alors arrêtez de dire que « le sionisme n’a pas rapport avec le judaïsme »! Ce n’est que pure ignorance, puisque les deux plus grands parrains du sionisme étaient des talmudistes intégristes!

Les groupes juifs combattent les groupes racistes et/ou antijuifs (dits « antisémites ») en sachant très bien que ces derniers sont sans cesse renforcés dans leur conviction par les persécutions dont ils sont victimes (comme lorsqu’on rase un poil celui-ci repousse toujours plus fort). Ceci permet à la paranoïa juive de se répandre et de convaincre le monde entier qu’ils doivent impérativement se protéger et afin de maintenir à jamais leur identité séparée face à un monde extérieur perçu comme menaçant. Ils évitent ainsi de passer pour des racistes lorsqu’ils évoquent la « menace de l’assimilation » *. Or cela fait en sorte que de plus en plus de non-juifs envient les juifs qui se réservent égoïstement le privilège d’être raciste; ainsi on a de plus en plus de non-juifs qui réclament le droit d’être raciste décomplexés eux aussi! Qu’ils le veuillent ou non, cette défense du racisme, cette revendication du « droit au racisme », amène les non-juifs à légitimer le racisme des juifs et d’Israël. En apportant ainsi une caution morale au séparatisme juif et au projet sioniste devant la communauté internationale, les non-juifs peuvent devenir de bons Goyim (et ce malgré le fait qu’ils puissent être anti-juifs).
* Note: En effet, la menace de l’assimilation guette le judaïsme intégriste: car de plus en plus la nouvelle génération des juifs a envie de simplement rejoindre la communauté  universelle de l’humanité ordinaire, elle ne veut plus se croire exclue, spéciale ou différente des autres. La jeune génération juive voit le judaïsme comme sa culture d’origine et non plus comme une identité à défendre contre vents et marées.

Death of the Liquor King:
The life, times and misdeeds
of Edgar Bronfman Sr.

A devout Talmudic Jew, Edgar Bronfman bankrolled
many Zionist causes over the years with the billions of
dollars he made hawking Canadian booze.
THE KING OF THE JEWS IS DEAD
• Edgar Bronfman—one of the world’s most powerful Zionists—finally dies
By Michael Collins Piper
The patriarch of a crime syndicate-connected empire that has operated in the sphere of the Rothschild dynasty is dead. On Dec. 22, Edgar M. Bronfman—longtime head of the World Jewish Congress—died at age 84. New York magazine once described him as a “sometimes coarse, bullying businessman” but noted “there are some people who would simply call him king of the Jews.”
Rabbi Mishael Zion has hailed Bronfman as “a modern Talmudic Jew,” noting Bronfman’s favorite book was the Babylonian Talmud, the hero of which, the rabbi admitted, is not God but the “cunning human scholar.” Praising Bronfman’s work funding scholarships for Jewish youth, the rabbi said Bronfman was “the person who invited us to live Talmudically in the modern world.”
This recalls Meyer Rothschild, founder of the dynasty with whom Bronfman’s family has had a long association. An admiring biographer once said Rothschild was “a zealous believer in the Talmud and chose it alone as the guiding principle of all his actions.”
It is thus fitting that Bronfman biographer Peter C. Newman said the Bronfmans were “the Rothschilds of the New World,” estimating in 1978 that Bronfman assets totaled some $7 billion. In fact, Edgar Bronfman had a level of clout few could claim, precisely because of his front-line positioning in the Zionist movement and his family’s pivotal historic role in the crime syndicate.
Edgar was son of Sam Bronfman who immigrated to Canada from Russia and made his fortune in liquor, gambling, prostitution and drugs. Going “legitimate” when he assumed control of the Montreal-based Seagram distillery, Sam forged links with the New York crime syndicate headed by another Russian Jew, Meyer Lansky, and during Prohibition supplied—and thus controlled—the “spigot” of liquor funneled into the U.S. and distributed by the Lansky mob.
In many border towns in the northern U.S there are family fortunes accumulated by locals who were part of the Bronfman network. And in the big cities, a connection with this syndicate was a “must.” In Detroit, the “little Jewish navy” of Morris Dalitz—later Lansky’s top man in Las Vegas—ferried Bronfman booze into the U.S.
Even Chicago’s celebrated Italian-American gangster, Al Capone, owed his rise to his own Bronfman connection. It was Lansky who sent Capone to Chicago from New York in the first place, assigned to work for Johnny Torrio (Bronfman’s Chicago contact) who was moving to unseat “Big Jim” Colosimo as Italian-American Mafia chief in the Windy City.
Colosimo had alienated Lansky and Bronfman—whom he called “dirty Jews”—by asserting there was “no future in bootlegging,” showing little interest in patronizing Bronfman liquor, preferring to focus on drugs, prostitution and loan-sharking.
So a Jewish hitman from New York “retired” Big Jim and soon enough, Bronfman liquor flowed into Chicago. The media lionized Capone, but the Chicago mob, thenceforward, was dominated by behind-the-scenes Jewish bosses.
In any case, Bronfman plowed his ill-gotten gains into legitimate enterprises, establishing his family as major patrons of Israel and expanding their power on American shores.
When Sam died, Edgar assumed family leadership and—though little known to the public—was one of the most powerful figures on the planet.
Today, his legacy lives on.
Aside from wheeler-dealer son, Edgar Jr., son Matthew chairs the board of the World Jewish Congress and is a controlling shareholder of one of Israel’s largest banks, Israel Discount Bank, and other Israeli enterprises. Son Adam directs a family foundation and lives off family wealth. Daughter Holly—interestingly—shares the same high-powered Texas lawyer as media icon Alex Jones.
Bronfman bankrolled Mort Zuckerman, now a billionaire, who in turn bankrolled Dan Snyder, now billionaire owner of the Washington Redskins football team. They, too, are Bronfman heirs in their own respect.

(…)The Montreal-born Bronfman was chief executive until retiring in 1994 of the Seagrams Company, the liquor distilling empire built by his late father Samuel Bronfman. He served for 28 years, 1979 to 2007, as president of the World Jewish Congress.

Edgar and his brother Charles gradually emerged after their father’s death in 1971 as among the most prodigious and creative philanthropists in the world Jewish community. Neither had previously been known as major participants in Jewish life, and their evolution in adulthood as Jewish communal leaders defied expectations of many Canadian Jewish observers, who had long predicted that the Bronfman fortune would be lost to Jewish causes after the death of “Mr. Sam.”

Edgar’s Jewish involvements included the creation of the Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel, an intense, all-expenses-paid summer leadership program for 11th graders and leading a transformation and modernization of Hillel. Those who knew him well often pointed to his hosting of a weekly Shabbat morning service in his home. It became one of the most exclusive and sought-after Jewish prayer venues in New York.

He was best known for his leadership of the World Jewish Congress, where he worked for decades in close partnership with WJC’s top staffer and chief strategist, Israel Singer. Their most famous campaign was the long, bitter struggle against the Swiss banking industry to win restitution of funds that belonged to Holocaust survivors and victims’ heirs but were never returned after the war.

Others included the battle against the Carmelite convent at Auschwitz, the campaign to expose the Nazi past of Austrian president and former U.N. secretary general Kurt Waldheim and the international campaign to pressure the Vatican to open its World War II-era archives and admit to moral failings during the Holocaust.

(…)
In 1996, in a much-noted speech to the General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations (today’s Jewish Federations of North America) Edgar criticized the massive expenditure of Jewish philanthropic dollars on defending Jews and Israel and failure to tackle what he said was the greatest threat to the Jewish future, assimilation.
That declaration reflected his growing commitment to Jewish educational projects such as the youth fellowships and Hillel. Nonetheless, he reportedly made a gift to AIPAC the following year in excess of $120,000. (…)

It was inevitable Bronfman’s Seagram Co. would purchase a controlling interest in Time-Warner in 1993. Mob-connected Bronfman associates had already moved on this media empire, going back to a 1967 merger between Warner Brothers Studios and Seven Arts Productions, run by a frontman for Bronfman partner Meyer Lansky. The new operation—soon merged with Time publishing—became Time-Warner.
A sampling of holdings in the Time Warner octopus over the years: 

• Time-Life Video; HBO Video; Warner Home Video; 
• Cable franchises reaching 11.7 million subscribers; 
• Turner Broadcasting, including all CNN holdings; 
• Magazines: Time, People, Sports Illustrated, Life, Fortune, Money, Vibe, In Style, Parenting, Martha Stewart Living, Sunset, Health, Entertainment Weekly, Cooking Light, Southern Living, DC Comics and American Lawyer; 
• Book publishing: Little, Brown and Co., Time-Life Books, Warner Books, Book-of-the-Month Club.

Edgar Bronfman Jr. operated Seagram as his personal plaything after Seagram bought Hollywood giant, MCA, bringing MCA subsidiaries—Universal Studios and Universal Music—and TV channels in Europe and Latin America into Bronfman hands.
Last but far from least: With the Rothschilds, the Oppenheimers of South Africa and the late Armand Hammer, Bronfman money bankrolled the move into the United States by Australian media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, now a major influence over the American “conservative” movement.

BRONFMAN, PARRAIN DE LA CARRIÈRE POLITIQUE DE L’AGENT D’ISRAËL JOHN MCCAIN

Huge Hole Exposed in McCain’s Finance Reform, Michael Colllins Piper, 2008
« In fact, as AFP pointed out in an in-depth article on Feb. 4, 2008, McCain owes his entire career to the indirect sponsorship of the powerful organized-crime-enriched family of liquor billionaire Edgar Bronfman, head of the World Jewish Congress. McCain’s chief backer in Arizona politics, Kemper Marley, was a front man for the Bronfman family and McCain’s own family beer distribution fortune came through this connection.
In addition, much of McCain’s own campaign money has come from a clique of groups and individuals all of whom have close ties to the Israeli lobby, including: organized crime-linked gambling interests in Las Vegas, international bankers such as Goldman Sachs, and Hollywood figures such as the late mob-linked LewWasserman.
McCain’s father, the late Adm. John McCain, was a key player in the official U.S. government cover-up of Israel’s murder of 34 American sailors aboard the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967. »

« In addition, McCain’s own backstage connections in his home state of Arizona (See AFP, Feb 4, 2008: McCain’s Career Financed by Mob Money: Arizona politics greatly influenced by former associates of Bronfman, Lansky) are equally intriguing and point even further to the reasons why the Rothschilds are enamored with McCain.

As AFP pointed out, McCain’s late father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was a top figure in the organized crime power network surrounding one Kemper Marley, who acted as the front man in Arizona for the Bronfman family—key players in the Lansky crime syndicate, popularly though inaccurately referred to as “the Mafia”—who used Marley to control both major political parties in that state.

The Bronfman family has long been allied with the Rothschilds as among the leading billionaire patrons of Israel and the global Zionist movement, so much so that Edgar Bronfman, head of the dynasty, was, for many years head of the World Jewish Congress (WJC), which is now lorded over by his son Matthew, who is chairman of the WJC’s governing board.

Eight years ago, when McCain first ran for president, Edgar Bronfman was a contributor to his campaign. And at the time McCain included among his closest advisors the ubiquitous William Kristol of the stridently pro-Israel neo-conservative journal, The Weekly Standard, whose owner, media baron Rupert Murdoch, rose to wealth and power through the sponsorship of the Rothschild and Bronfman families.

Kristol has attended the secretive Bilderberg meetings that are sponsored jointly on an annual basis by the Rothschild family in partnership with their American confreres in the Rockefeller family.

So the McCain-Bronfman-Rothschild connection is intimate on multiple levels and explains much about McCain’s long-standing tendency to be an almost feverish advocate for Israel’s interests. »

« While flamboyant Italian-American Al Capone won all the headlines and the media attention through his exploits in Chicago, his real sponsors, New York-based Meyer Lansky (above left) and Lansky’s bootlegging partner, Montreal-based Sam Bronfman (above right), were the real powers behind the throne.Although Lansky and Bronfman are long dead, the influence of their successors remains a major influence in organized crime and world politics today. Bronfman’s son, Edgar (right), is president of theWorld Jewish Congress.

« Pendant que le flamboyant Italo-Américain Al Capone se méritait tous les grands titres et toute l’attention médiatique à pour ses exploits à Chicago, ses véritables commanditaires, Meyer Lansky de New York (haut à gauche) et le partenaire de vente d’alcool, Sam Bronfman de Montréal (haut à droite), étaient les véritables forces derrière le trône.

Chicago’s famed mobster Al Capone (above) was nothing more than a front man for the Jewish crime syndicate which included the late Sam Bronfman (left) founder of the World Jewish Congress, and Bronfman’s son, Edgar (right), who is now head of the Bronfman family which is a key American cog in the global Rothschild Empire.

CHAPTER TEN
The Bronfman Gang:
The Royal Family of American Jewry—
“Godfathers” to Al Capone and John McCain

Once described as “the Rothschilds of the New World,” the family Bronfman—although officially based in Canada—certainly constitutes the proverbial “royal family” of the American Jewish establishment, inasmuch as the family’s influence is solidly entrenched in the United States, reaching from NewYork to Hollywood and everything in between. Proteges—directly and indirectly—of the Bronfman syndicate have included multiple powerful and well-known personages ranging from Al Capone to U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).Although best known for their control of the Seagram liquor empire, this legendary—and quite sinister—family controls much,much more.In some respects they personify “the ultimate Jewish success story.” They represent virtually everything that is truly bad—in the classic sense—about Jewish power and influence in America. And while they may not technically be the wealthiest Jewish family in America, per se—there are others that are much,much richer—the Bronfmans have a certain level of clout and prominence that few other families can claim. After all, of course, Edgar Bronfman—reigning patriarch of the family—was the longtime head of the World Jewish Congress.And that’s a title with clout.As far back as 1978, Bronfman family biographer Peter Newman, writing in The Bronfman Dynasty, estimated that the aggregate assets held by the various branches of the family totaled some $7 billion. He cited Fortune magazine which declared—at the time—“The Bronfman fortune rivals that of all but a small number of North American families, including some that gathered their strength in the 19th century when taxes had no more impact on wealth than poor boxes.”Since then, of course, the Bronfmans have increasingly compounded their wealth and their influence has grown proportionally.Originally,we have been told, the Bronfman clan came as immigrants to Canada under the sponsorship—like many others—of the various Jewish charities under the thumb of Europe’s Rothschild family, the great financial house that has ruled from behind the scenes for generations.

However, the Bronfman empire as we know it today was founded by buccaneering, sharp-nosed businessman Sam Bronfman who—with his brothers—made millions in the liquor business—and many millions more by shipping their liquor into the United States where it was illegally consumed during Prohibition. Thus, the family forged early links with the U.S. crime syndicate headed jointly by Russian-born, New York-based Jew, Meyer Lansky, and his Italian partners, Charles “Lucky” Luciano and Frank Costello.

In fact—and this is probably a dirty little secret better left unmentioned—there is hardly a border town in the northern regions of the United States—from Maine to Washington state—where one could not find tidy family fortunes accumulated by locals (not always Jewish, but many who are) who were part of the Bronfman-Lansky liquor smuggling network.

And in the big cities, a “connection” with the Lansky-Bronfman network was a “must” for anyone who wanted to succeed. The truth is that even Chicago’s Italian-American crime prince, Al Capone, owed his rise to power to his Bronfman connection—another little-known fact that has been largely suppressed by the media in the United States.

Despite all the hoopla over Capone’s purported “rule” over Chicago, at no time ever did Capone control more than one-fourth of the rackets in the Windy City. And what’s more, as famed independent crime writer Hank Messick has pointed out in his classic study, Secret File (G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1969), Capone—powerful though he was—never held a title higher than “capo” (or “captain”)—head of a crew of ten men—in the ranks of the formally organized Italian-American “Mafia” crime network in Chicago.

Another point often forgotten in the legend of “the Mafia” is that Capone,in fact,was only permitted to become a formal member of the Mafia after Italian-American crime bosses in Chicago relaxed Mafia membership rules to permit certain selected non-Sicilians such as Capone (who was born in Naples on mainland Italy) to join

If fact, the truth is that Capone was ultimately answering to much bigger, more secretive bosses behind the scenes,who were based“back east”—part of the “elite” group surrounding the aforementioned infamous New York-based Jewish crime chief Meyer Lansky (who ultimately switched his operations to Miami and, for a brief period—many years later—to Israel).

It was the Lansky group—including Lansky’s Jewish partner Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and his Italian-born partners, Costello and Luciano—that sent Capone (a distant Luciano cousin) to Chicago in the first place.

In their notable Lansky biography, Meyer Lansky: Mogul of the Mob (Paddington Press, 1979), written in cooperation with Lansky, Israeli writers Dennis Eisenberg, Uri Dan and Eli Landau fill in some of the missing elements left out by Capone’s biographers.

Lansky himself told his Israeli biographers that “It was Bugsy Siegel who knew him well when Capone lived and worked on the Lower East side . . . [He was a] close enough friend of Capone’s to hide him out with one of his aunts”when Capone got in trouble on a murder charge.”

To get him out of the line of law enforcement fire, Lansky sent Capone to Chicago to act as a tough in the gang of JohnnyTorrio, a NewYorker who had“gone west”and was moving to unseat his own uncle, old-time gangster “Big Jim” Colosimo, as boss of the Italian-American Mafia in Chicago.

Essentially, Torrio had been Lansky’s Chicago pointman and Capone quickly moved up the ranks and became Torrio’s right-hand man.

Organized crime writer Messick noted that Capone’s positioning “delighted” the Lansky crowd “because Capone was very much their man. Although Capone eventually became his own master in Chicago, running scores of rackets . . . his loyalty to his New York friends was so firm that Lansky and [Luciano] knew they could always count on him.”

And it is worth pointing out that Capone’s immediate“boss” in Chicago, Torrio,was also the Chicago contact for the liquor interests of the Canadianbased Bronfman liquor empire which was shipping its legally produced products over the border for illegal consumption by Prohibition-era American drinkers. Sam Bronfman and his family worked closely with the Lansky syndicate from the beginning. Therefore, the Torrio-Capone link brought the connection full circle.

Meanwhile, Chicago’s ruling boss, Colosimo, was doing nothing to endear himself to either Bronfman or Lansky and Siegel whom he was known to refer to as “dirty Jews.”

Colosimo proclaimed that he couldn’t understand why Luciano dealt so closely with Lansky and Siegel, saying “I sometimes have a suspicion that he must have some Jewish blood in his veins,” a suspicion that—in light of Luciano’s subsequent fate, as we shall see—is highly unlikely.

In addition, Colosimo asserted there was “no future in bootlegging” and showed little interest in patronizing the Bronfman liquor supply. Colosimo wanted to focus on drugs, prostitution and loan-sharking. His boycott of Bronfman was cutting into the Lansky syndicate’s profits.

Needless to say,when the time was ripe, Lansky (viaTorrio and Capone) moved against Colosimo who was gunned down by a NewYork Jewish gangster sent in to do the job. The biggest wreath at Colosimo’s lavish funeral featured a card that read: “From the sorrowing Jew boys of New York.” Soon enough, the Bronfman liquor came flowing into Chicago, courtesy of Lansky’s henchman Torrio and his right-hand man, Capone, soon to emerge as the media’s favorite “Mafia” figure.

So when we look at the forces behind even the most notorious Italian-American gangster of the 20th century,we find his roots buried deep within the Bronfman (and Zionist) camp.And that is news in itself.

As noted, the current head of the Bronfman family is Edgar Bronfman who—aside from his extensive international business dealings—also served as the longtime president of the World Jewish Congress, from which position he exerted considerable political clout.

Bronfman, of course, was the key player in the recent (and ongoing) effort to extort billions of dollars from Swiss banks for their alleged involvement in laundering of “Jewish gold” said to be stolen by the Nazis, and for having confiscated the wealth of certain Jewish persons from Europe who hid their vast wealth in Swiss banks prior to World War II.

The question as to how this vast wealth was actually accumulated has never been explained by the media, although the involvement of the Bronfman family in the controversy may provide a key to it in part.

It is known that the Bronfmans achieved much of their own initial wealth prior to World War II in the illegal liquor trade, in concert with American crime syndicate figure Meyer Lansky whose operations ranged far and wide,well beyond American shores.

It is also known that Lansky was one of the prime movers, for the crime syndicate, behind the use of Swiss bank accounts for the laundering of criminal proceeds.Thus, it is certain that some of those who were taken into custody by the Third Reich and whose bank accounts were confiscated were actually agents of the Lansky-Bronfman syndicate and thus engaged in illegal activity. The “persecuted” Jews—in these cases—were common criminals.

Bronfman’s son, Edgar Jr., is perhaps as equally powerful as his father, although from another venue. The younger Bronfman assumed control of Universal Studios and all of the related entertainment subsidiaries now under the control of the Bronfman empire. A major player in Hollywood and in the music and film production area, Edgar Jr. reportedly bungled a major family investment when he entered the family into partnership with the French-based Vivendi corporation, but no members of the Bronfman family have been seen panhandling on the streets of New York, Beverly Hills or Montreal as of this writing.

Edgar’s lesser-known son, Matthew, is highly active in Jewish affairs and serves as chairman of the program committee and chairman of the Bronfman Center for Jewish Life Committee.In 2007 he was elected as chairman of the governing board of theWorld Jewish Congress, long headed by his father and he is also chairman of the World Jewish Congress Budget and Finance Commission and is also a member of its steering committee.

He is the head of a NewYork-based investment company, BHB Holdings, and likewise is a controlling shareholder of one of Israel’s largest banks, Israel Discount Bank and a controlling shareholder in SuperSal, the largest supermarket chain in Israel.Another of his enterprises is control of the IKEA franchise in Israel, where he also has substantial real estate holdings, aside from those he maintains in the United States.

Among other things, Mathew Bronfman was chairman and CEO of Candle Acquisitions Company, a specialty candle manufacturer, and chairman of Sterling Cellular Holdings, a cellular telephone firm.In his early years he was involved in other Bronfman holdings. He was also employed at the Goldman Sachs international banking firm, demonstrating, again, the interlock among the global Jewish forces in the Rothschild Empire.

The Seagrams company is regularly among the largest political contributors to both of the major American political parties. This is interesting in itself for when, during the 1996 presidential campaign, Bill Clinton was attacking his GOP opponent Bob Dole for accepting contributions from the tobacco industry, the fact that both major parties were taking sizable contributions from the alcohol industry—in particular the Bronfman empire—seems to have gone largely unmentioned.

As distinguished an “American” institution as Du Pont, for example, fell under Bronfman control. In 1981, Du Pont, then the seventh largest corporation in the United States,was targeted for takeover by the Bronfman family.

Actually, at that point, the Bronfmans already owned 20 percent of Du Pont—a substantial holding in itself, for in the corporate world, even as little as 3 percent ownership of a corporation’s stock gives the owner effective control of a corporation.

Although the traditional American name of “Du Pont” continued to appear on the corporate papers and on Du Pont products sold to American consumers, the real power behind the scenes was the Bronfman empire.

In truth, the Du Pont family—although still quite wealthy, having accumulated their financial resources over several generations—had little influence within the corporation that bore the family name. Ultimately, the Bronfmans officially divested their holdings in Du Pont, but used their resources to expand their wealth and tentacles elsewhere.

Today the Bronfmans are very much a recognized part of not only the plutocratic establishment in the United States, but throughout the world.

Among other Bronfman holdings over the years were such traditionally “American” companies as: Campbell Soup, Schlitz Brewing, Colgate-Palmolive, Kellogg, Nabisco, Norton Simon, Quaker Oats, Paramount Pictures and Warrington Products (maker of Kodiak boots and Hush Puppies shoes.)

In addition, the Bronfmans also had an interest in the Ernest W. Hahn Company (which then operated 27 regional shopping centers in California and had plans for another 29); and theTrizec Corp., one of the biggest property development companies in North America.

The Bronfmans also hold considerable assets in some “unexpected” and “out of the way” places. For example, the Bronfman controlled Cadillac Fairview corporation—which develops commercial rental properties—developed a shopping center in Hickory, North Carolina and (in 1978) was in the process of setting up two others.Another Bronfman enterprise is the Shannon Mall in Atlanta and the Galleria in Westchester, New York.

In addition, a Bronfman subsidiary held options on a shopping center development in Mississippi and for yet another in Connecticut. Bronfman companies also controlled industrial parks in and near Los Angeles, office towers in Denver and in San Francisco, and housing developments in Nevada, California and Florida. The Bronfmans also bought control of the share capital of Houston-based General Homes Consolidated Cos. Inc., building houses and developing land with operations reaching as far as Mississippi and Alabama.

For many years the family—although this was not well known—controlled vast tracts of land in the outer reaches of the Virginia suburbs surrounding Washington, D.C., lucrative land that the family, in recent years, has been relinquishing at great profit.

And as a reminder: the various United States holdings of the Bronfman family listed here do not constitute anything resembling a complete overview of their portfolio.And none of this covers the Bronfman holdings in Canada alone, for example, and elsewhere.

All of this financial clout, taken together, also constitutes significant political power in the various states and locales where the Bronfman influence has taken root.

Of particular interest in that regard is the hidden influence of the Bronfman family in the state of Arizona—an outpost viewed in the minds of most Americans as somehow a paradise of cowboys, cactus and wide-open spaces, a conservative stronghold seemingly independent of the corruption and intrigue found in the big cities like New York, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles. In fact, Arizona ranks alongside the great crime capitals.This dubious distinction can be traced directly to the influence in Arizona of the Bronfman family.

Bronfman family influence in Arizona is so strong that it can be rightly said that the Bronfmans are no less than the “godfathers” behind the political career of America’s best known “reformer”—Arizona Senator John McCain. Here’s the story:

In 1976 a crusading Phoenix reporter, Don Bolles, was murdered by a car-bomb after writing a series of stories exposing the organized crime connections of a wide-ranging number of well-known figures in Arizona who were closely associated with a character named Jim Hensley.

Five years later“Honest John”McCain arrived in Arizona as the new husband of Hensley’s daughter, Cindy. “From the moment McCain landed in Phoenix,” according to Charles Lewis of the Center for Public Integrity,“ the Hensleys were key sponsors of his political career.” But the fact is, the people behind the Hensley fortune are even more interesting and controversial.

While it is well-known McCain’s father-in-law was the owner of the biggest Anheuser-Busch beer distributorships in Arizona—one of the largest beer distributors in the nation—the mainstream media has had nothing to say about the origins of the Hensley fortune that financed McCain’s rise to power.The Hensley fortune is no more than a regional offshoot of the vast bootlegging and rackets empire of the Bronfman dynasty who, in turn, were major players—as noted before—in the crime syndicate ruled by Meyer Lansky and his partners, both in the United States and abroad.

McCain’s father-in-law got his start as a top henchman of one Kemper Marley who, for some forty years until his death in 1990 at age 84,was the undisputed behind-the-scenes political boss of Arizona. But Marley was much more than a machine politician. In fact, he was also the Lansky crime syndicate’s top man in Arizona, the protege of Lansky lieutenant, Phoenix gambler Gus Greenbaum, who, in 1941, set up a national wire for bookmakers. After Lansky ordered a hit on his own longtime partner,“Bugsy” Siegel, who was stealing money from the Flamingo Casino in Las Vegas — which was financed in part by loans from an Arizona bank chaired by Marley — Greenbaum turned operations of the wire over to Marley while Greenbaum took Siegel’s place in tending to Lansky’s interests in Las Vegas.

In 1948 Greenbaum was murdered in a mob“hit” that set off a series of gang wars in Phoenix,but Marley survived and prospered as did Jim Hensley, who sponsored McCain’s rise to power.

During this time Marley was building up a liquor distribution monopoly in Arizona.According to Marley’s longtime public relations man, Al Lizanitz, it was the Bronfman family that set Marley up in the liquor business. McCain’s father-in-law was the top lieutenant for Kemper Marley, the Lansky syndicate’s chief Arizona operative who acted, in turn, as the front man for the Bronfman family—key players in the Lansky syndicate.

During Prohibition, the Canadian-based Bronfmans supplied—and thus controlled—the “spigot” of liquor funneled to Lansky syndicate functionaries in the United States, including Al Capone in Chicago. After Prohibition, Lansky-Bronfman associates such as Marley got control of a substantial portion of liquor (and beer) distribution across the country. Marley’s longtime public relations man, Al Lizanitz, revealed that it was, in fact, the Bronfmans who set Marley up in the alcohol business in the first place.

In 1948, 52 of Marley’s employees (including Jim Hensley, the manager of Marley’s company) were prosecuted for federal liquor violations. Hensley got a six-month suspended sentence and his brother Eugene went to prison for a year.

In 1953 Hensley and (this time) Marley were prosecuted by federal prosecutors for falsifying liquor records, but young attorney William Rehnquist acted as their “mouthpiece” (as mob attorneys are known) and the two got off scot-free. Rehnquist later became chief justice of the Supreme Court and presided over the “fix” that made GeorgeW. Bush president in a rightly disputed election.

Arizona insiders say Hensley “took the fall” for Marley in 1948 and Marley paid back Hensley by setting him up in his own beer distribution business. Although, during the 2008 presidential campaign, Newsweek implied Hensley’s company was a “mom and pop” operation that became a big success, the real story goes to the heart of the history of organized crime at the highest levels.

McCain’s father-in-law also dabbled in dog racing and expanded his fortune by selling his track to an individual connected to the Buffalo-based Jacobs family, key Prohibition-era cogs in the Lansky network as distributors of Bronfman liquor.

Expanding over the years, buying up race tracks and developing food and drink concessions at sports stadiums, Jacobs enterprises were described as being probably the biggest quasi-legitimate cover for organized crime’s money-laundering in the United States.

In 1976, Hensley’s mentor—Marley (at the height of his power)—was the key suspect behind the aforementioned contract murder of journalist Don Bolles who was investigating the mob in Arizona, but Marley was never prosecuted.

While John McCain himself cannot be held personally responsible for the sins of his late father-in-law—whose fortune was passed on to his daughter, Cindy McCain, John’s wife—the fact is that “reformer” McCain owes his political and financial fortunes to the good graces of the biggest names in organized crime. Perhaps it is no wonder that, today, the Las Vegas gambling industry is among McCain’s primary financial benefactors.

This overview is really just the tip of the iceberg but it does say much about McCain and the political milieu that spawned him, particularly in light of McCain’s front-line position as one of Israel’s leading U.S. supporters.

Ironically, though, as noted earlier, in the 2008 presidential campaign, McCain was endorsed by an American member of the Rothschild family and had a fundraiser held on his behalf by the Rothschilds in London, Edgar Bronfman chose to publicly endorse Barack Obama over McCain, evidently “turned off” by McCain’s Christian fanatic running mate, Sarah Palin.

And this, too, should be noted for the historical record regarding the Bronfman family: In light of this author’s own rather widely-distributed work on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the book, Final Judgment—which contends that Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad, played a major role alongside the CIA in the assassination of President Kennedy, precisely because of JFK’s obstinate opposition to Israel’s drive to build nuclear weapons of mass destruction—that the fingerprints of Sam Bronfman are found all over the JFK assassination conspiracy. Not only was Bronfman’s longtime henchman, Louis Bloomfield, chairman of the Mossad-sponsored Permindex corporation (which included among its directors no less than New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw, who was indicted by former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison for involvement in the JFK assassination), but new evidence indicates that Dallas mob figure Jack Ruby was actually on the Bronfman payroll.

In addition, while another Bronfman associate in Dallas, oilman Jack Crichton, hovered around Lee Harvey Oswald’s widow after the JFK assassination, another Bronfman functionary—“super lawyer” John McCloy—served on the Warren Commission. McCloy was a director—and Crichton served as vice president—of the Empire Trust, a financial combine controlled in part by the Bronfman family.

And although Sam Bronfman is best known for his Seagrams liquor empire, what many JFK researchers who point their fingers at the “Texas oil barons” have failed to note is that Sam Bronfman was a Texas oil baron himself, having purchased Texas Pacific Oil in 1963. As far back as 1949, Allen Dulles, later the CIA director fired by JFK and also a Warren Commission member, served as an attorney involved in the private ventures of Bronfman’s daughter Phyllis.

For those interested in the entire story, they should refer to Final Judgment, which is now in its 768-page sixth edition, thoroughly documented. The bottom line is that the JFK assassination is unquestionably, beyond any doubt, the one pivotal event that helped bring covert Jewish influence to all-new heights in the American power structure.

The Bronfmans,by any measure,do constitute the“first family”—indeed we say “the royal family”—of the American Jewish and Zionist establishments, but certainly secondary to the “Kings of Kings”: The Rothschilds.

In many respects, though, it might be said that, in terms of old-fashioned gutter-level organized crime—as opposed to the “high level” operations of the Rothschild Empire—the Bronfmans are certainly the Royal Family of the Jewish Crime Syndicate, by virtue of their newfound respectability, having risen to wealth and glamour from their early years as partners of the “nonrespectable » Meyer Lansky.

And revolving, as satellites, around the Bronfman dynasty are a wideranging array of other powerful families which—in turn—have their own satellite families and financial interests. They constitute the New Pharisees working to bring the Talmudic dream of the New World Order into being.

« La thèse de Final Judgment à cet égard est principalement construite sur l’importance clé de Meyer Lansky en tant que véritable acteur d’importance dans le crime organisé américain des années 1950 et 1960, le supérieur de Giancana, Roselli, Marcello, Mickey Cohen, Mickey Weiner, Moe Dalitz, Frank Costello, et d’autres mentionnés précédemment en tant que participants au complot contre Kennedy. À son tour, le rôle de Lansky en tant que sioniste engagé et leveur de fonds pour l’État d’Israël impliquait des liens directs et palpables entre son empire criminel, ses banques de Miami et la Banque de Crédit international (BCI) à Genève, en Suisse. Cette dernière entité a été le centre européen de blanchiment d’argent pour les activités mondiales M. Lansky. BCI, à son tour, a été dirigée par un banquier israélien, le rabbin Tibor Rosenbaum, ex-directeur des Finances et de l’approvisionnement pour le Mossad israélien. Piper démontre ensuite que la BCI est un actionnaire principal dans une société basée à Rome appelée CMC/Permindex, dont le président du conseil d’administration était nul autre que Louis M. Bloomfield de Montréal (Canada), un important collecteur de fonds pour Israël et opérateur connu du renseignement israélien. CMC/Permindex, à son tour, se révèle être l’un des principaux points d’intersection qui relie le mystérieux Bloomfield directement ou indirectement à Clay Shaw (la principale cible de l’enquête de Jim Garrison à New Orleans), Guy Banister, James Jesus Angleton (loyaliste pro-Israël), le chef de la section 5 du FBI William Sullivan (qui a dirigé l’enquête du FBI pour la Commission Warren et a servi comme agent de liaison du FBI et ami de Angleton), l’ex-président cubain Carlos Prio Socarras (un trafiquant d’armes avéré partenaire d’affaires de l’assassin d’Oswald Jack « Ruby » Rubenstein), Ernest Israël Japhet (directeur et président de la Banque israélienne Leumi), Shaul Eisenberg (un personnage clé dans le développement de la bombe nucléaire d’Israël et participant avec Rosenbaum dans la banque d’échange Suisse-israélienne), des éléments de l’Organisation Armée Secrète (OAS) nationaliste française, l’agent de la CIA Théodore Shackley (le chef de la station de la CIA à Miami au moment du plan de la CIA-Lansky pour assassiner Fidel Castro), et Abe Feinberg, un homme d’affaire juif de New York employé par Ben Gourion comme agent de liaison pour des réunions secrètes avec le président Kennedy dans le but de régler le différend des deux partis au sujet de Dimona. C’est donc les acteurs et les liens de BCI et CMC/Permindex que Piper met en évidence pour montrer que les joueurs, les alliances et les actifs ont été mis en place en combinant les motifs, les moyens et l’occasion dans ce complot qui a porté ses fruits à Dallas. (Source: Mordecaï Vanunu et Michael Collins Piper convergent: le Mossad israélien a assassiné JFK, par Mark Dankof, trad. in 45e anniversaire de l’assassinat de JFK: mystère résolu)

« Le fait est que lorsque le District Attorney (Procureur) de la Nouvelle-Orléans Jim Garrison poursuivait l’exécutif commercial Clay Shaw pour complot dans l’assassinat, Garrison a trébuché sur la connexion du Mossad.
Bien que (après son acquittement) Shaw fut exposé comme collaborateur de la CIA, en 1963 Shaw siégeait au conseil d’une société basée à Rome nommée Permindex, qui était en réalité une façade pour une opération de trafic d’armes parrainée par le Mossad.
L’actionnaire principal dans Permindex, la Banque de Crédit Internationale de Genève, était non seulement le fief de Tibor Rosenbaum, un haut responsable du Mossad, mais aussi le centre opératif du blanchiment d’argent pour Meyer Lansky, parrain du syndicat du crime et loyaliste israélien de longue date. L’exécutif en chef de Permindex était Louis Bloomfield de Montréal, une figure prééminente du lobby d’Israël et un opérateur de la famille Bronfman, qui furent des associés intimes de Lansky et les grands Parrains d’Israël.(…)
En fait, la présence juive dans le crime organisé en Amérique est un phénomène peu connu que les médias obsédés par la « mafia » ont réussi à garder secret.
Qu’en est-il de Jack Ruby (Rubenstein), l’opérateur de discothèque juif, qui a tué Lee Harvey Oswald, l’accusé assassin du président?
Les connexions de Ruby au monde interlope criminalisé sont bien documentées. Cependant, ce qui est encore peu connu est le lien intégral de Ruby au Syndicat du crime de Meyer Lansky — et non pas « la mafia » — et aux alliés d’Israël dans la CIA.
Dans Final Judgment j’ai documenté des connexions supplémentaires entre Jack Ruby et l’État d’Israël et son trafic d’armes et ses conduits financiers aux États-Unis.
Des documents du FBI, longtemps étouffés, révèlent que Ruby lui-même a visité Israël en 1955 et que, lorsque Ruby était à San Francisco cette année-là, il aurait déclaré à un ami, «Après être parti d’ici, je m’en vais en Floride acheter un chargement de contrebande pour l’envoyer en Israël ».
En outre, notons que Lawrence Meyers, un ami de longue date de Ruby qu’il a rencontré la veille de l’assassinat de JFK, était un vendeur pour Ero Manufacturing, une entreprise liée à une corporation sous enquête pour envois illégaux d’armes à Israël.
En outre, nous savons aussi que Jack Ruby était sur la liste de paie de la famille connectée au Syndicat du crime Lansky: les Bronfman (actuellement dirigée par Edgar Bronfman, président du Congrès juif mondial). Considérant les liens intimes de la famille Bronfman avec la créature du Mossad « Permindex » qui a joué un rôle central dans le complot d’assassinat de JFK, la connexion de Ruby à la famille Bronfman pointe effectivement, encore une fois, vers une autre autre connexion israélienne à l’assassinat de JFK. » (Source: Michael Collins Piper, L’arsenal nucléaire israélien au centre de la guerre secrète entre Israël et JFK)

BRONFMAN, L’EXÉCUTION DE JFK ET LE PÉTROLE TEXAN

In 1953 Mr. Bronfman married Ann Loeb, a granddaughter of the financier Carl M. Loeb. Loeb, Rhoades And Co. helped the Bronfmans purchase the Texas Pacific Coal and Oil Company.

Alors que le second tirage de la sixième édition de Final Judgment était sur le point d’aller sous presse, un rapport détaillé anonyme de 19 pages, avec 115 notes de bas de page et s’appuyant sur un large éventail de sources courantes, est arrivé à la boîte aux lettres de l’auteur de Final Judgment Michael Collins Piper. Le document était dans une enveloppe (sans adresse de retour) sur laquelle était inscrit « Dallas, Texas. » Intitulé «L’assassinat de Kennedy et Israël: Quelques connexions relatives à Dallas», le document était apparemment le travail d’un journaliste professionnel intéressé aux « détails sur la façon dont les Israéliens pourraient avoir influencé les événements à Dallas », répondant à certains manques et empruntant certaines pistes qui n’avaient pas été explorées en détails dans les éditions précédentes de Final Judgment. Les données sont assez explosives, surtout lorsqu’on les compare avec la mythologie à propos du « Grand D » (« Big D », c’est-à-dire Dallas) répétée à l’infini dans la littérature portant sur JFK. Cependant, la compréhension la vraie ville de Dallas, et non pas la légende dépeinte dans les films hollywoodiens, prépare le lecteur aux révélations présentées dans Final Judgment.Le document enterre le vieux mythe fatigué selon lequel une clique deploutocrates du pétrole antisémites Blancs Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASP) dominait Dallas. La vérité est tout le contraire. Non seulement Dallas a une communauté juive très puissante, mais, plus important encore, cette ville (et tout le Texas) était un centre important de collecte de fonds et de contrebande d’armes pour la cause sioniste, et ce depuis les années 1940. Même Jonathan Pollard, l’espion américain pour Israël, a déclaré qu’il avait été inspiré à faire de l’activisme pro-Israël par des histoires qu’il avait entendu (alors qu’il habitait au Texas), de trafic d’armes par des Juifs dans l’underground israélien au Texas. En fait, La publication racontant l’histoire officielle d’une importante opération de contrebande d’armes sioniste, l’Institut Sonneborn, rapporte que ses agents faisaient la contrebande de pièces d’aéronefs du Texas vers Israël. Cela eut lieu au moment où un mécanicien aéronautique de l’Armée de l’Air récemment retraité, Jack Ruby, est revenu à Dallas en 1947, l’année précédant la naissance d’Israël, lorsque les activités Sonneborn étaient à leur zénith. Ruby se vantait d’avoir fait du trafic d’armes en Israël et, en 1963, participait au trafic d’armes supervisée par un officier du renseignement israélien. Donc, la connexion israélienne au Texas était beaucoup plus intime que plusieurs ne l’ont jamais réalisé.En 1963, l’intérêt principal de JFK à Dallas était de collecter de fonds auprès de l’élite de Dallas, et cela signifiait que les riches démocrates juifs pro-Israël qui étaient les principaux anges financiers du Parti démocratique là-bas. Et puisque JFK était, à cette époque, en désaccord avec Israël sur son programme d’armes nucléaires, il est de la plus haute importance de comprendre la manière dont JFK a été leurré pour qu’il se rende à Dallas et de savoir qui était en charge du régime qui a réellement facilité son assassinat. Et s’il est bien connu que le bras de Dallas qui a payé le voyage de JFK au Texas était parrainé par le Citizen Council (Conseil des citoyens, CC), le groupe d’affaires d’élite qui a gouverné Dallas, il est est beaucoup moins connu que la preuve a été faite comme quoi deux des trois personnages clés qui dominaient le Citizen Council étaient des juifs, non pas des «WASPs» comme le suggère la légende de Dallas. Ce sont les gens qui dirigeaient réellement Dallas, pas les conservateurs affilié à la John Birch Society, comme le vieux mythe le laisse entendre. En 1963, un de ces juif qui tenaient les rennes du pouvoir était ungrossiste de liqueur ouvertement pro-israélien, Julius Schepps, qui détenait les droits de distribution à Dallas pour les produits Seagram’s de la famille Bronfman. Et comme nous le verrons, il a été prouvé que Jack Ruby était sur la liste de paie de la famille Bronfman, qui a laissé ses empreintes partout dans le complot d’assassinat de JFK. Les moyens par lesquels l’élite Dallas a pris le contrôle de l’agenda de voyage de JFK à Dallas est intéressant. Puisque le voyage de JFK à Dallas était officiellement désigné comme étant «non politique», contrairement à d’autres arrêts au Texas comme Houston et Austin qui ont été désignés comme «politiques», les entités privées qui payaient son voyage à Dallas ont pris le contrôle de la planification (la retirant des mains du Comité national démocrate contrôlé par JFK). Le Citizen Council a désigné un « comité d’accueil. » Le président de Citizen Council était le leader et représentant en relations publiques de la communauté juive de Dallas, Sam Bloom, directeur exécutif de longue date du Citizen Council, de même que –rétrospectivement– l’un des moins connus mais plus influents acteurs de l’histoire mondiale.Il y a eu confrontation immédiate entre Bloom, qui représente l’élite de Dallas, et Jerry Bruno, le représentant vétéran de JFK. Bruno voulait que le Président parle au bâtiment des femmes (Women’s Building), mais les dirigeants de Dallas ont insisté que JFK devait prendre la parole au Trade Mart. Bien que Bruno ait combattu longuement et durement, après beaucoup de pression, la décision de l’élite de Dallas a prévalu, ce qui a amené les loyalistes JFK à commenter que « ce fut l’un des quelques combats de ce type que j’aie perdu. Sur des affaires comme celle-ci mon choix était habituellement adopté. Cette fois il ne l’a pas été. « En forçant JFK à prendre la parole au Trade Mart, l’élite de Dallas a fait en sorte que le cortège de JFK prenne le chemin désormais tristement célèbre en «patte de chien» qui devait l’amener tout droit vers le classique « angle mort », « préféré des tireurs d’élite », sur Elm Street, juste en dessous de la Réserve d’ouvrages scolaires du Texas (Texas School Book Depository, TSBD), d’où le présumé assassin, l’employé de TSBD Lee Harvey Oswald, aurait tiré les coups de feu mortels, comme il a été affirmé plus tard. La zone se trouvait était également à portée de la butte « d’herbe » et du bâtiment Dal-Tex situé tout près, où les investigateurs de l’assassinat situent les tireurs d’élite. Si la décision du représentant de JFK avait prévalu comme d’habitude, JFK (sur son chemin vers le lieu de prédilection) aurait passé en voiture deux rues plus loin de la zone de tir du TSBD et beaucoup plus vite.

Bien que les services secrets se soient opposés (pour des raisons de sécurité) à la publication du trajet de la voiture de JFK, Bloom (le représentant de l’élite de Dallas) a néanmoins fait en sorte qu’une carte de l’itinéraire soit publié à plusieurs reprises dans les journaux de Dallas. De sorte que, plus tard, lorsque le bouc émissaire était en garde à vue, il y a avait une explication plausible du fait qu’il ait su que JFK passerait tout près de son lieu de travail.

Le fait que l’assassin a très probablement tiré sur JFK à partir du bâtiment Dal-Tex est des plus pertinent dans l’étude de la connexion israélienne. Co-propriété de David Weisblat, un bailleur de fonds important pour le lobby israélien de la Ligue anti-diffamation, le bâtiment Dal-Tex abritait, sur plusieurs étages, un certain nombre d’entreprises qui utilisaient le numéro de téléphone de Morty Freedman, un avocat, fabricant de vêtements et militant pour des causes juives. Sachant que JFK s’efforçait à stopper le programme d’armes nucléaire d’Israël — qui a reçu de l’uranium de contrebande de la part des États-Unis — il est intéressant de noter qu’il existait une firme liée à Freedman et appartenant à Dal-Tex du nom de Dallas Uranium And Oil Company. Il est également curieux que l’un des partenaires d’affaires de Freedman relié à Dal-Tex était Abe Zapruder, le fabricant de robe juif qui est devenu célèbre pour avoir filmé l’assassinat et qui en a grandement profité. Aujourd’hui, des gens pensent que Zapruder avait une connaissance préalable de l’assassinat.

Une fois l’accusé assassin mis en garde à vue, c’était –vous l’aurez deviné– Sam Bloom, qui avait déjà poussé JFK dans la zone d’assassinat, qui a ensuite fait pression sur Elgin Crull, le maire de la ville, pour qu’il presse en retour le chef de police de Dallas Jesse Curry de rendre Oswald accessible à la presse et de l’emmener publiquement du poste de police de Dallas à la prison municipale. Ainsi, la situation était en place pour que Jack Ruby puisse le tuer. Plusieurs sources, y compris un agent du FBI à Dallas Hosty James, ont déclaré que Bloom et ses partisans étaient le moteur derrière tout ça. Lorsque la police a fouillé la résidence de Ruby, ils ont trouvé un bout de papier avec le nom de Bloom, son adresse et numéro de téléphone.

C’est ainsi que le mythe de Dallas meurt de sa belle mort. Ce sera douloureux pour ceux qui ont pensé que la ville était un bastion anti-juif, mûr pour une révolution nazie. Au lieu de cela, Dallas était en fait un avant-poste pour la promotion des intérêts d’Israël comme c’est toujours le cas de nos jours.

Bien que Walt Brown ait suggéré dans Treachery in Dallas que l’élite de la ville se trouvaient derrière les événements du 22 novembre 1963, il s’est précipité à écrire ailleurs que l’assassinat de JFK « n’a pas été fait par le Mossad… Comme certains voudraient nous le faire croire » (en référence à Final Judgment). Toutefois, à la lumière du « Portrait d’ensemble à Grand D » (« Big Picture in Big D ») — des détails que Brown a ignoré (ou supprimé) comme contexte ultime (et d’importance majeure) — il est temps pour ceux qui veulent connaître toute la vérité sur l’assassinat de JFK de jeter un regard nouveau sur Final Judgment.

Bronfman s’occupait de blanchir l’argent du crime organisé de Meyer Lansky en le plaçant dans des comptes bancaires en Suisse! C’est alors que les nazis, comme n’importe quel gouvernement soucieux d’appliquer la loi contre le crime organisé, ont saisi cet argent mal acquis par des juifs criminels! Pourquoi croyez-vous que c’est Bronfman qui mène la campagne d’extorsion et de chantage contre les banques suisses pour récupérer ces millions de dollars saisis par les nazis? Ils continuent ce qu’ils ont toujours fait: le racket et l’extorsion, comme au temps où ils étaient les parrains du crime organisé.

THE GOLEM 

Perhaps the most telling attack on the generals came fromStephen Herbits, a former top executive of the Seagram liquor empire, the fiefdom of World Jewish Congress chief Edgar Bronfman, a major patron of Israel. This longtime Bronfman henchman was appointed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to make « heads roll » in the military, screening all Pentagon promotions and appointments, implementing the agenda of enforcing lockstep Zionist control of the American war machine.

Writing in the April 2, 2006 edition of the egregiously pro-Israel Washington Times, Herbits urged the media to start to investigate military leaders who dared to take on the administration. Herbits said it would be « a service to this country when the media digs a bit below these attacks to examine the generals. »  

Herbits was obviously calling on spy agencies such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a conduit for Israel’s Mossad, to come up with « data » on the military men and provide it to the media to bring the dissidents into line.

Incidentally, because Herbits was openly gay and a long-time public advocate for the cause of homosexual rights, there are those who believe that the very reason Herbits had been drafted by the Bush administration to institute so-called « reform » at the Pentagon was so that military figures who opposed Herbits‘ intrigues at the Pentagon on behalf of the Zionist apparatus would be less likely to criticize the Bronfman family henchman for fear of being accused of anti-gay bias in the event they did dare to challenge Herbits primary agenda: rooting out perceived enemies of Israel inside the American military elite.

And it is worth noting that after Herbits ultimately left the Bush administration, he returned to the Bronfman fold, taking on the post of secretary-general of the World Jewish Congress, demonstrating where Herhits’ primary political sympathies lie.

A former top adviser to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Bronfman’s right-hand man at Seagram, Herbits was brought into the WJC three years ago to clean up things amid charges of mismanagement.

A stronger Israel is very much embedded in the rationale for war with Iraq.  It is a part of the argument that dare not speak its name, a fantasy quietly cherished by the neo-conservative faction in the Bush Administration and by many leaders of the American Jewish community.
The fantasy involves a domino theory. The destruction of Saddam’s Iraq will not only remove an enemy of long-standing but will also change the basic power equation in the region. It will send a message to Syria and Iran about the perils of support for Islamic terrorists. 
It will send a message to the Palestinians too: Democratize and make peace on Israeli terms, or forget about a state of your own. In the wackiest scenario, it will lead to the collapse of the wobbly Hashemite monarchy in Jordan and the establishment of a Palestinian state on that nation’s East Bank. 
No one in the government ever actually says these things publicly (although some American Jewish leaders do). Usually, the dream is expressed in the mildest possible terms: “I have high hopes that the removal of Saddam will strengthen our democratic allies in the region,” Senator Joe Lieberman told me last week.

Abdul Basit Igtet To Stand For The Presidency Of Libya TRIPOLI, Libya, April 9, 2014 /PRnewswire– Abdul Basit Igtet, the businessman and author of « A Plan for Libya », confirmed today that he will stand for the post of President of Libya.  Mr. Igtet commented:  « My main objective is that the Libyan people should build their future on the firm foundations of a well-functioning and prosperous country. I have come to the conclusion that the best way for me to bring that about is to stand as President once the new constitution is in place – when the Libyan people will have the opportunity to make a democratic choice.  I believe firmly that the new President should be President of all the country – and not just Tripoli.  I will therefore shortly be opening offices in five key towns outside the capital, to be able to listen and respond to all our people.  I know already how much Libyans are concerned about security, and about basic services such as housing and roads and schools and hospitals.  But the problems in one town are different from the problems in another.  So, starting in two weeks time, I intend to travel round our country and learn about the views of the local people. I will take my professional team with me. They will listen and adapt our policy plans to immediate needs.  To the people of Libya, I say – our priorities have to become your priorities, that is real democracy. My Presidency will be your Presidency. Your President for your Libya. »
