The ADL
I cannot fully verify the following statements, but for a large part of this writing I can say that it is mainly true, based on previously discovered documents, but who knows?
The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, founded in 1913, originally declared, "The immediate object of the League is to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience, and if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike, and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens."
It was founded in late September 1913 by the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, a Jewish service organization, in the wake of the contentious murder conviction of Leo Frank. The ADL subsequently split from B'nai B'rith and continued as an independent US section 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In an early campaign, the ADL and allied groups pressured the automaker Henry Ford, who had published virulently antisemitic propaganda.[9][5] In the 1930s, the ADL worked with the American Jewish Committee (AJC) to oppose pro-Nazi activity in the United States.[10][3] It opposed McCarthyism during the Cold War,[5] and campaigned for major civil rights legislation in the 1960s.[5][3] It also worked with the NAACP to discredit the far right in a spy operation.[11] In the 1980s, it was involved in propaganda against Nelson Mandela of South Africa before embracing him the following decade.[12][13]
Since the 1970s, the ADL has advanced the concept of new antisemitism, including a definition that says anti-Zionism and some criticisms of Israel are antisemitic.[14][15][16][17] It has received criticism, including from members of its staff, that such advocacy has diverted the ADL from its historical fight against antisemitism.[14][18][19]
Leo Frank
Frank, c. 1910–1915
Leo Max Frank (April 17, 1884 – August 17, 1915) was an American lynching victim convicted in 1913 of the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, an employee in a factory in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was the superintendent. Frank's trial, conviction, and unsuccessful appeals attracted national attention. His kidnapping from prison and lynching became the focus of social, regional, political, and racial concerns, particularly regarding antisemitism. Modern researchers generally agree that Frank was wrongly convicted.[n 1][2][3]
Born to a Jewish-American family in Texas, Frank was raised in New York and earned a degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell University in 1906 before moving to Atlanta in 1908. Marrying Lucille Selig (who became Lucille Frank) in 1910, he involved himself with the city's Jewish community and was elected president of the Atlanta chapter of the B'nai B'rith, a Jewish fraternal organization, in 1912. At that time, there were growing concerns regarding child labor at factories. One of these children was Mary Phagan, who worked at the National Pencil Company where Frank was director. The girl was strangled on April 26, 1913, and found dead in the factory's cellar the next morning. Two notes, made to look as if she had written them, were found beside her body. Based on the mention of a "night witch", they implicated the night watchman, Newt Lee. Over the course of their investigations, the police arrested several men, including Lee, Frank, and Jim Conley, a janitor at the factory.
On May 24, 1913, Frank was indicted on a charge of murder and the case opened at Fulton CountySuperior Court, on July 28. The prosecution relied heavily on the testimony of Conley, who described himself as an accomplice in the aftermath of the murder, and who the defense at the trial argued was, in fact, the perpetrator of the murder. A guilty verdict was announced on August 25. Frank and his lawyers made a series of unsuccessful appeals; their final appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States failed in April 1915. Considering arguments from both sides as well as evidence not available at trial, Governor John M. Slaton commuted Frank's sentence from death to life imprisonment.
The case attracted national press attention and many reporters deemed the conviction a travesty. Within Georgia, this outside criticism fueled antisemitism and hatred toward Frank. On August 16, 1915, he was kidnapped from prison by a group of armed men, and lynched at Marietta, Mary Phagan's hometown, the next morning. The new governor vowed to punish the lynchers, who included prominent Marietta citizens, but nobody was charged. In 1986, the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles issued a pardon in recognition of the state's failures—including to protect Frank and preserve his opportunity to appeal—but took no stance on Frank's guilt or innocence. The case has inspired books, movies, a play, a musical, and a TV miniseries.
The African American press condemned the lynching, but many African Americans also opposed Frank and his supporters over what historian Nancy MacLean described as a "virulently racist" characterization of Jim Conley, who was black.[4]
His case spurred the creation of the Anti-Defamation League and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan.[5]
Social and economic conditions
In the early 20th century, Atlanta, Georgia's capital city, underwent significant economic and social change. To serve a growing economy based on manufacturing and commerce, many people left the countryside to relocate in Atlanta.[6][7]Men from the traditional rural society felt it degrading that women were moving to the city to work in factories.[8]
During this era, Atlanta's rabbis and Jewish community leaders helped to resolve animosity toward Jews. In the half-century from 1895, David Marx was a prominent figure in the city. In order to aid assimilation, Marx's Reform temple adopted Americanized appearances. Friction developed between the city's German Jews, who were integrated, and Russian Jews who had recently immigrated. Marx said the new Russian Jews were "barbaric and ignorant" and believed their presence would create new antisemitic attitudes and a situation which made possible Frank's guilty verdict.[9] Despite their success, many Jews recognized themselves as different from the Gentile majority and were uncomfortable with their image.[n 2] Despite his own acceptance by Gentiles, Marx believed that "in isolated instances there is no prejudice entertained for the individual Jew, but there exists wide-spread and deep seated prejudice against Jews as an entire people."[11][n 3][n 4]
An example of the type of tension that Marx feared occurred in April 1913: at a conference on child labor, some participants blamed the problem, in part, on the fact that many factories were Jewish-owned.[12] Historian Leonard Dinnerstein summarized Atlanta's situation in 1913 as follows:
The pathological conditions in the city menaced the home, the state, the schools, the churches, and, in the words of a contemporary Southern sociologist, the 'wholesome industrial life.' The institutions of the city were obviously unfit to handle urban problems. Against this background, the murder of a young girl in 1913 triggered a violent reaction of mass aggression, hysteria, and prejudice.[13]
Early life
Leo Max Frank was born in Cuero, Texas[14] on April 17, 1884, to Rudolph Frank and Rachel "Rae" Jacobs.[15] The family moved to Brooklyn when Leo was three months old.[16] He attended New York City public schools and graduated from Pratt Institute in 1902. He then attended Cornell University, where he studied mechanical engineering.[17] At Cornell, Frank was a member of the H. Morse Stephens Debate Club.[18] After graduating in 1906, he worked briefly as a draftsman and as a testing engineer.[19]
At the invitation of his uncle Moses Frank, Leo traveled to Atlanta for two weeks in late October 1907, to meet a delegation of investors for a position with the National Pencil Company, a manufacturing plant in which Moses was a major shareholder.[15] Frank accepted the position, and traveled to Germany to study pencil manufacturing at the Eberhard Faber pencil factory. After a nine-month apprenticeship, Frank returned to the United States and began working at the National Pencil Company in August 1908.[19] Frank became superintendent of the factory the following month, earning $180 per month plus a portion of the factory's profits.[20]
Frank was introduced to Lucille Selig shortly after he arrived in Atlanta.[21] She came from a prominent, upper-middle class Jewish family of industrialists who, two generations earlier, had founded the first synagogue in Atlanta.[n 5] They married in November 1910.[23] Frank described his married life as happy.[24]
In 1912, Frank was elected president of the Atlanta chapter of the B'nai B'rith, a Jewish fraternal organization.[25] The Jewish community in Atlanta was the largest in the Southern United States, and the Franks belonged to a cultured and philanthropic community whose leisure pursuits included opera and bridge.[26][27] Although the Southern United States was not specifically known for its antisemitism, Frank's northern culture and Jewish faith added to the sense that he was different.[28]
Phagan
For the television miniseries based on the story, see The Murder of Mary Phagan (TV miniseries).
Phagan's early life
Mary Phagan was born on June 1, 1899, into a Georgia family of tenant farmers.[29][30] Her father died before she was born. Shortly after Mary's birth, her mother, Frances Phagan, moved the family back to their hometown of Marietta, Georgia.[31] During or after 1907, they again relocated to East Point, Georgia, in southwest Atlanta, where Frances opened a boarding house.[32] Phagan left school at age 10 to work part-time in a textile mill.[33] In 1912, after her mother married John William Coleman, the family moved into the city of Atlanta.[31] That spring, Phagan took a job with the National Pencil Company, where she earned ten cents an hour operating a knurling machine that inserted rubber erasers into the metal tips of pencils, and worked 55 hours per week.[33][n 6] She worked across the hallway from Leo Frank's office.[33][35]
Discovery of Phagan's body
On April 21, 1913, Phagan was laid off due to a materials shortage.[34] Around noon on April 26, she went to the factory to claim her pay. The next day, shortly before 3:00 a.m., the factory's night watchman, Newt Lee, went to the factory basement to use the toilet.[36] After leaving the toilet, Lee discovered Phagan's body in the rear of the basement near an incinerator and called the police.
Her dress was up around her waist and a strip from her petticoat had been torn off and wrapped around her neck. Her face was blackened and scratched, and her head was bruised and battered. A 7-foot (2.1 m) strip of 1⁄4-inch (6.4 mm) wrapping cord was tied into a loop around her neck, buried 1⁄4 in (6.4 mm) deep, showing that she had been strangled. Her underwear was still around her hips, but stained with blood and torn open. Her skin was covered with ashes and dirt from the floor, initially making it appear to first responding officers that she and her assailant had struggled in the basement.[37]
A service ramp at the rear of the basement led to a sliding door that opened into an alley; the police found the door had been tampered with so it could be opened without unlocking it. Later examination found bloody fingerprints on the door, as well as a metal pipe that had been used as a crowbar.[38] Some evidence at the crime scene was improperly handled by the police investigators: a trail in the dirt (from the elevator shaft) along which police believed Phagan had been dragged was trampled; the footprints were never identified.[39]
Two notes were found in a pile of rubbish by Phagan's head, and became known as the "murder notes". One said: "he said he wood love me land down play like the night witch did it but that long tall black negro did boy his slef." The other said, "mam that negro hire down here did this i went to make water and he push me down that hole a long tall negro black that hoo it wase long sleam tall negro i write while play with me." The phrase "night witch" was thought to mean "night watch[man]"; when the notes were initially read aloud, Lee, who was black, said: "Boss, it looks like they are trying to lay it on me."[n 7] Lee was arrested that morning based on these notes and his apparent familiarity with the body – he stated that the girl was white, when the police, because of the filth and darkness in the basement, initially thought she was black. A trail leading back to the elevator suggested to police that the body had been moved by Lee.[41][42]
Police investigation
In addition to Lee, the police arrested a friend of Phagan's for the crime.[43] Gradually, the police became convinced that these were not the culprits. By Monday, the police had theorized that the murder occurred on the second floor (the same as Frank's office) based on hair found on a lathe and what appeared to be blood on the ground of the second floor.[44]
Just after 4 am on Sunday, April 27 after the discovery of Phagan's body, both Newt Lee and the police unsuccessfully tried to telephone Frank.[45] The police contacted him later that morning and he agreed to accompany them to the factory.[46] When the police arrived after 7 a.m. without telling the specifics of what happened at the factory, Frank seemed extremely nervous, trembling, and pale; his voice was hoarse, and he was rubbing his hands and asking questions before the police could answer.[clarification needed]Frank said he was not familiar with the name Mary Phagan and would need to check his payroll book. The detectives took Frank to the morgue to see Phagan's body and then to the factory, where Frank viewed the crime scene and walked the police through the entire building. Frank returned home about 10:45 a.m. At this point, Frank was not considered a suspect.[47]
On Monday, April 28, Frank, accompanied by his attorney, Luther Rosser, gave a written deposition to the police that provided a brief timeline of his activities on Saturday. He said Phagan was in his office between 12:05 and 12:10 p.m., that Lee had arrived at 4 p.m. but was asked to return later, and that Frank had a confrontation with ex-employee James Gantt at 6 p.m. as Frank was leaving and Lee was arriving. Frank explained that Lee's time card for Sunday morning had several gaps (Lee was supposed to punch in every half-hour) that Frank had missed when he discussed the time card with police on Sunday. At Rosser's insistence, Frank exposed his body to demonstrate that he had no cuts or injuries and the police found no blood on the suit that Frank said he had worn on Saturday. The police found no blood stains on the laundry at Frank's house.[48]
Frank then met with N. V. Darley, his assistant, and Harry Scott of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, whom Frank hired to investigate the case and prove his innocence.[49]The Pinkerton detectives would investigate many leads, ranging from crime scene evidence to allegations of sexual misconduct on the part of Frank. The Pinkertons were required to submit duplicates of all evidence to the police, including any that hurt Frank's case. Unbeknownst to Frank, however, was Scott's close ties with the police, particularly his best friend, detective John Black, who believed in Frank's guilt from the outset.[n 8]
On Tuesday, April 29, Black went to Lee's residence at 11 a.m. looking for evidence, and found a blood-smeared shirt at the bottom of a burn barrel.[51] The blood was smeared high up on the armpits and the shirt smelled unused, suggesting to the police that it was a plant. The detectives, suspicious of Frank due to his nervous behavior throughout his interviews, believed that Frank had arranged the plant.[52]
Frank was subsequently arrested around 11:30 a.m. at the factory. Steve Oney states that "no single development had persuaded ... [the police] that Leo Frank had murdered Mary Phagan. Instead, to the cumulative weight of Sunday's suspicions and Monday's misgivings had been added several last factors that tipped the scale against the superintendent."[53] These factors were the rejection of rumors that Phagan had been seen on the streets, making Frank the last person to admit seeing Phagan; the dropped charges against two suspects; Frank's meeting with the Pinkertons; and a "shifting view of Newt Lee's role in the affair."[54] The police were convinced Lee was involved as Frank's accomplice and that Frank was trying to implicate him. To bolster their case, the police staged a confrontation between Lee and Frank while both were still in custody; there were conflicting accounts of this meeting, but the police interpreted it as further implicating Frank.[55]
On Wednesday, April 30, a coroner's inquest was held. Frank testified about his activities on Saturday and other witnesses produced corroboration. A young man said that Phagan had complained to him about Frank. Several former employees spoke of Frank flirting with other women; one said she was actually propositioned. The detectives admitted that "they so far had obtained no conclusive evidence or clues in the baffling mystery ...". Lee and Frank were both ordered to be detained.[56]
In May, the detective William J. Burns traveled to Atlanta to offer further assistance in the case.[57]However, his Burns Agency withdrew from the case later that month. C. W. Tobie, a detective from the Chicago affiliate who was assigned to the case, said that the agency "came down here to investigate a murder case, not to engage in petty politic[s]."[58] The agency quickly became disillusioned with the many societal implications of the case, most notably the notion that Frank was able to evade prosecution due to his being a rich Jew, buying off the police and paying for private detectives.[59]
James "Jim" Conley
The prosecution based much of its case on the testimony of Jim Conley, the factory's janitor, who is believed by many historians to be the actual murderer.[n 9] The police had arrested Conley on May 1 after he had been seen washing red stains out of a blue work shirt; detectives examined it for blood, but determined that it was rust as Conley had claimed, and returned it.[62] Conley was still in police custody two weeks later when he gave his first formal statement. He said that, on the day of the murder, he had been visiting saloons, shooting dice, and drinking. His story was called into question when a witness told detectives that "a black negro ... dressed in dark blue clothing and hat" had been seen in the lobby of the factory on the day of the murder. Further investigation determined that Conley could read and write,[63]and there were similarities in his spelling with that found on the murder notes. On May 24, he admitted he had written the notes, swearing that Frank had called him to his office the day before the murder and told him to write them.[64] After testing Conley again on his spelling – he spelled "night watchman" as "night witch" – the police were convinced he had written the notes. They were skeptical about the rest of his story, not only because it implied premeditation by Frank, but also because it suggested that Frank had confessed to Conley and involved him.[65]
In a new affidavit (his second affidavit and third statement), Conley admitted he had lied about his Friday meeting with Frank. He said he had met Frank on the street on Saturday, and was told to follow him to the factory. Frank told him to hide in a wardrobe to avoid being seen by two women who were visiting Frank in his office. He said Frank dictated the murder notes for him to write, gave him cigarettes, then told him to leave the factory. Afterward, Conley said he went out drinking and saw a movie. He said he did not learn of the murder until he went to work on Monday.[66]
The police were satisfied with the new story, and both The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Georgian gave the story front-page coverage. Three officials of the pencil company were not convinced and said so to the Journal. They contended that Conley had followed another employee into the building, intending to rob her, but found Phagan was an easier target.[66] The police placed little credence in the officials' theory, but had no explanation for the failure to locate Phagan's purse that other witnesses had testified she carried that day.[67] They were also concerned that Conley did not mention that he was aware a crime had been committed when he wrote the notes, suggesting Frank had simply dictated the notes to Conley arbitrarily. To resolve their doubts, the police attempted on May 28 to arrange a confrontation between Frank and Conley. Frank exercised his right not to meet without his attorney, who was out of town. The police were quoted in The Atlanta Constitutionsaying that this refusal was an indication of Frank's guilt, and the meeting never took place.[68]
On May 29, Conley was interviewed for four hours.[69][70] His new affidavit said that Frank told him, "he had picked up a girl back there and let her fall and that her head hit against something." Conley said he and Frank took the body to the basement via the elevator, then returned to Frank's office where the murder notes were dictated. Conley then hid in the wardrobe after the two had returned to the office. He said Frank gave him $200, but took it back, saying, "Let me have that and I will make it all right with you Monday if I live and nothing happens." Conley's affidavit concluded, "The reason I have not told this before is I thought Mr. Frank would get out and help me out and I decided to tell the whole truth about this matter."[71] At trial, Conley changed his story concerning the $200. He said Frank decided to withhold the money until Conley had burned Phagan's body in the basement furnace.[72]
The Georgian hired William Manning Smith to represent Conley for $40. Smith was known for specializing in representing black clients, and had successfully defended a black man against an accusation of rape by a white woman. He had also taken an elderly black woman's civil case as far as the Georgia Supreme Court. Although Smith believed Conley had told the truth in his final affidavit, he became concerned that Conley was giving long jailhouse interviews with crowds of reporters. Smith was also anxious about reporters from the Hearst papers, who had taken Frank's side. He arranged for Conley to be moved to a different jail, and severed his own relationship with the Georgian.[73]
On February 24, 1914, Conley was sentenced to a year in jail for being an accomplice after the fact to Phagan's murder.[74]
Media coverage
The Atlanta Constitution broke the story of the murder and was soon in competition with The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Georgian. Forty extra editions came out the day Phagan's murder was reported. The Atlanta Georgian published a doctored morgue photo of Phagan, in which her head was shown spliced onto the body of another girl. The papers offered a total of $1,800 in reward money for information leading to the apprehension of the murderer.[75] Soon after the murder, Atlanta's mayor criticized the police for their steady release of information to the public. The governor, noting the reaction of the public to press sensationalism soon after Lee's and Frank's arrests, organized ten militia companies in case they were needed to repulse mob action against the prisoners.[76] Coverage of the case in the local press continued nearly unabated throughout the investigation, trial, and subsequent appeal process.
Newspaper reports throughout the period combined real evidence, unsubstantiated rumors, and journalistic speculation. Dinnerstein wrote, "Characterized by innuendo, misrepresentation, and distortion, the yellow journalism account of Mary Phagan's death aroused an anxious city, and within a few days, a shocked state."[77] Different segments of the population focused on different aspects. Atlanta's working class saw Frank as "a defiler of young girls", while the German-Jewish community saw him as "an exemplary man and loyal husband."[78] Albert Lindemann, author of The Jew Accused, opined that "ordinary people" may have had difficulty evaluating the often unreliable information and in "suspend[ing] judgment over a long period of time" while the case developed.[79] As the press shaped public opinion, much of the public's attention was directed at the police and the prosecution, whom they expected to bring Phagan's killer to justice. The prosecutor, Hugh Dorsey, had recently lost two high-profile murder cases; one state newspaper wrote that "another defeat, and in a case where the feeling was so intense, would have been, in all likelihood, the end of Mr. Dorsey, as solicitor."[80]
Trial
On May 23, 1913, a grand jury convened to hear evidence for an indictment against Frank for the murder of Phagan. The prosecutor, Hugh Dorsey, presented only enough information to obtain the indictment, assuring the jury that additional information would be provided during the trial. The next day, May 24, the jury voted for an indictment.[81] Meanwhile, Frank's legal team suggested to the media that Jim Conley was the actual killer and put pressure on another grand jury to indict him. The jury foreman, on his own authority, convened the jury on July 21; on Dorsey's advice, they decided not to indict Conley.[82]
On July 28, the trial began at the Fulton County Superior Court (old city hall building). The judge, Leonard S. Roan, had been serving as a judge in Georgia since 1900.[83] The prosecution team was led by Dorsey and included William Smith (Conley's attorney and Dorsey's jury consultant). Frank was represented by a team of eight lawyers – including jury selection specialists – led by Luther Rosser, Reuben Arnold, and Herbert Haas.[84] In addition to the hundreds of spectators inside, a large crowd gathered outside to watch the trial through the windows. The defense, in their legal appeals, would later cite the crowds as factors in intimidation of the witnesses and jury.[85]
Both legal teams, in planning their trial strategy, considered the implications of trying a white man based on the testimony of a black man in front of an early 1900s Georgia jury. Jeffrey Melnick, author of Black-Jewish Relations on Trial: Leo Frank and Jim Conley in the New South, writes that the defense tried to picture Conley as "a new kind of African American – anarchic, degraded, and dangerous."[86] Dorsey, however, pictured Conley as "a familiar type" of "old negro", like a minstrel or plantation worker.[86] Dorsey's strategy played on prejudices of the white 1900s Georgia observers, i.e., that a black man could not have been intelligent enough to make up a complicated story.[87] The prosecution argued that Conley's statement explaining the immediate aftermath of the murder was true, that Frank was the murderer, and that Frank had dictated the murder notes to Conley in an effort to pin the crime on Newt Lee, the night watchman.[88]
To support their theory that the murder occurred on the factory's second floor in the machine room near Frank's office, the prosecution presented witnesses who testified to bloodstains and strands of hair found on the lathe.[88][89] The defense denied that the murder occurred on the second floor. Both sides contested the significance of physical evidence that suggested the place of the murder. Material found around Phagan's neck was shown to be present throughout the factory. The prosecution interpreted the scene in the basement to support Conley's story – that the body was carried there by elevator – while the defense suggested that the drag marks on the floor indicated that Conley carried the body down a ladder and then dragged it across the floor.[90] The defense argued that Conley was the murderer and that Newt Lee helped Conley write the two murder notes. The defense brought many witnesses to support Frank's account of his movements, which indicated he did not have enough time to commit the crime.[91][92][93]
The defense, to support their theory that Conley murdered Phagan in a robbery, focused on Phagan's missing purse. Conley claimed in court that he saw Frank place the purse in his office safe, although he denied having seen the purse before the trial. Another witness testified that, on the Monday after the murder, the safe was open and there was no purse in it.[94] The significance of Phagan's torn pay envelope was disputed by both sides.[95]
Frank's alleged sexual behavior
The prosecution focused on Frank's alleged sexual behavior.[n 10] They alleged that Frank, with Conley's assistance, regularly met with women in his office for sexual relations. On the day of the murder, Conley said he saw Phagan go upstairs, from where he heard a scream coming shortly after. He then said he dozed off; when he woke up, Frank called him upstairs and showed him Phagan's body, admitting that he had hurt her. Conley repeated statements from his affidavits that he and Frank took Phagan's body to the basement via the elevator, before returning in the elevator to the office where Frank dictated the murder notes.[97][98]
Conley was cross-examined by the defense for 16 hours over three days, but the defense failed to break his story. The defense then moved to have Conley's entire testimony concerning the alleged rendezvous stricken from the record. Judge Roan noted that an early objection might have been upheld, but since the jury could not forget what it had heard, he allowed the evidence to stand.[99][100] The prosecution, to support Frank's alleged expectation of a visit from Phagan, produced Helen Ferguson, a factory worker who first informed Phagan's parents of her death.[101]Ferguson testified that she had tried to get Phagan's pay on Friday from Frank, but was told that Phagan would have to come in person. Both the person behind the pay window and the woman behind Ferguson in the pay line disputed this version of events, testifying that in accordance with his normal practice, Frank did not disburse pay that day.[102]
The defense called a number of factory girls, who testified that they had never seen Frank flirting with or touching the girls and that they considered him to be of good character.[103] In the prosecution's rebuttal, Dorsey called "a steady parade of former factory workers" to ask them the question, "Do you know Mr. Frank's character for lasciviousness?" The answers were usually "bad".[104]
Timeline
The prosecution realized early on that issues relating to time would be an essential part of its case.[105] At trial, each side presented witnesses to support their version of the timeline for the hours before and after the murder. The starting point was the time of death; the prosecution, relying on the analysis of stomach contents by their expert witness, argued that Phagan died between 12:00 and 12:15 p.m.
A prosecution witness, Monteen Stover, said she had gone into the office to get her paycheck, waiting there from 12:05 to 12:10, and did not see Frank in his office. The prosecution's theory was that Stover did not see Frank because he was at that time murdering Phagan in the metal room. Stover's account did not match Frank's initial account that he had not left the office between noon and 12:30.[106][107] Other testimony indicated that Phagan exited the trolley (or tram) between 12:07 and 12:10. From the stop it was a two- to four-minute walk, suggesting that Stover arrived first, making her testimony and its implications irrelevant: Frank could not be killing Phagan because at the time she had not yet arrived.[n 11][n 12]
Lemmie Quinn, foreman of the metal room, testified that he spoke briefly with Frank in his office at 12:20.[110] Frank had not mentioned Quinn when the police first interviewed him about his whereabouts at noontime on April 26. Frank had said at the coroner's inquest that Quinn arrived less than ten minutes after Phagan had left his office,[111] and during the murder trial said Quinn arrived hardly five minutes after Phagan left.[112] According to Conley and several experts called by the defense, it would have taken at least thirty minutes to murder Phagan, take the body to the basement, return to the office, and write the murder notes. By the defense's calculations, Frank's time was fully accounted for from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., except for eighteen minutes between 12:02 and 12:20.[113][114] Hattie Hall, a stenographer, said at trial that Frank had specifically requested that she come in that Saturday and that Frank had been working in his office from 11:00 to nearly noon. The prosecution labeled Quinn's testimony as "a fraud" and reminded the jury that early in the police investigation Frank had not mentioned Quinn.[115]
Newt Lee, the night watchman, arrived at work shortly before 4:00 and Frank, who was normally calm, came bustling out of his office.[116] Frank told Lee that he had not yet finished his own work and asked Lee to return at 6:00.[117] Newt Lee noticed that Frank was very agitated and asked if he could sleep in the packing room, but Frank was insistent that Lee leave the building and told Lee to go out and have a good time in town before coming back.[118]
When Lee returned at 6:00, James Gantt had also arrived. Lee told police that Gantt, a former employee who had been fired by Frank after $2 was found missing from the cash box, wanted to look for two pairs of shoes he had left at the factory. Frank allowed Gantt in, although Lee said that Frank appeared to be upset by Gantt's appearance.[119] Frank arrived home at 6:25; at 7:00, he called Lee to determine if everything had gone all right with Gantt.[120]
Conviction and sentencing
During the trial, the prosecution alleged bribery and witness tampering attempts by the Frank legal team.[121] Meanwhile, the defense requested a mistrial because it believed the jurors had been intimidated by the people inside and outside the courtroom, but the motion was denied.[n 13]Fearing for the safety of Frank and his lawyers in case of an acquittal, Roan and the defense agreed that neither Frank nor his defense attorneys would be present when the verdict was read.[n 14] On August 25, 1913, after less than four hours of deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous guilty verdict convicting Frank of murder.[n 15]
The Constitution described the scene as Dorsey emerged from the steps of city hall: "[T]hree muscular men swung Mr. Dorsey ... on their shoulders and passed him over the heads of the crowd across the street to his office. With hat raised and tears coursing down his cheeks, the victor in Georgia's most noted criminal battle was tumbled over a shrieking throng that wildly proclaimed its admiration."[126]
On August 26, the day after the guilty verdict was reached by the jury, Judge Roan brought counsel into private chambers and sentenced Frank to death by hanging, with the date set to October 10. The defense team issued a public protest, alleging that public opinion unconsciously influenced the jury to the prejudice of Frank.[127] This argument was carried forward throughout the appeal process.[128]
Under Georgia law at the time, appeals of death penalty cases had to be based on errors of law, not a re-evaluation of the evidence presented at trial.[129] The appeals process began with a reconsideration by the original trial judge. The defense presented a written appeal alleging 115 procedural problems. These included claims of jury prejudice, intimidation of the jury by the crowds outside the courthouse, the admission of Conley's testimony concerning Frank's alleged sexual perversions and activities, and the return of a verdict based on an improper weighing of the evidence. Both sides called forth witnesses involving the charges of prejudice and intimidation; while the defense relied on non-involved witness testimony, the prosecution found support from the testimony of the jurors themselves.[130] On October 31, 1913, Judge Roan denied the motion, adding, "I have thought about this case more than any other I have ever tried. With all the thought I have put on this case, I am not thoroughly convinced that Frank is guilty or innocent. But I do not have to be convinced. The jury was convinced. There is no room to doubt that."[131][132][133][134]
State appeals
The next step, a hearing before the Georgia Supreme Court, was held on December 15. In addition to presenting the existing written record, each side was granted two hours for oral arguments. In addition to the old arguments, the defense focused on the reservations expressed by Judge Roan at the reconsideration hearing, citing six cases where new trials had been granted after the trial judge expressed misgivings about the jury verdict. The prosecution countered with arguments that the evidence convicting Frank was substantial and that listing Judge Roan's doubts in the defense's bill of exceptions was not the proper vehicle for "carry[ing] the views of the judge."[135][136] On February 17, 1914, in a 142-page decision, the court denied Frank a new trial by a 4–2 vote. The majority dismissed the allegations of bias by the jurors, saying the power of determining this rested strictly with the trial judge except when an "abuse of discretion" was proved. It also ruled that spectator influence could only be the basis of a new trial if ruled so by the trial judge. Conley's testimony on Frank's alleged sexual conduct was found to be admissible because, even though it suggested Frank had committed other crimes for which he was not charged, it made Conley's statements more credible and helped to explain Frank's motivation for committing the crime according to the majority. On Judge Roan's stated reservations, the court ruled that these did not trump his legal decision to deny a motion for a new trial.[136][137] The dissenting justices restricted their opinion to Conley's testimony, which they declared should not have been allowed to stand: "It is perfectly clear to us that evidence of prior bad acts of lasciviousness committed by the defendant ... did not tend to prove a preexisting design, system, plan, or scheme, directed toward making an assault upon the deceased or killing her to prevent its disclosure." They concluded that the evidence prejudiced Frank in the jurors' eyes and denied him a fair trial.[137][138]
The last hearing exhausted Frank's ordinary state appeal rights. On March 7, 1914, Frank's execution was set for April 17 of that year.[139] The defense continued to investigate the case and filed an extraordinary motion[n 16] before the Georgia Supreme Court. This appeal, which would be held before a single justice, Ben Hill, was restricted to raising facts not available at the original trial. The application for appeal resulted in a stay of execution and the hearing opened on April 23, 1914.[141] The defense successfully obtained a number of affidavits from witnesses repudiating their testimony. A state biologist said in a newspaper interview that his microscopic examination of the hair on the lathe shortly after the murder did not match Phagan's. At the same time that the various repudiations were leaked to the newspapers, the state was busy seeking repudiations of the new affidavits. An analysis of the murder notes, which had only been addressed in any detail in the closing arguments, suggested Conley composed them in the basement rather than writing what Frank told him to write in his office. Prison letters written by Conley to Annie Maude Carter were discovered; the defense then argued that these, along with Carter's testimony, implicated Conley as the actual murderer.[142][143]
The defense also raised a federal constitutional issue on whether Frank's absence from the court when the verdict was announced "constituted deprivation of the due process of law". Different attorneys were brought in to argue this point since Rosser and Arnold had acquiesced in Frank's absence. There was a debate between Rosser and Arnold on whether it should be raised at this time since its significance might be lost with all of the other evidence being presented. Louis Marshall, a constitutional lawyer and president of the American Jewish Committee, urged them to raise the point, and the decision was made that it should be made clear that if the extraordinary motion was rejected they intended to appeal through the federal court system and there would be an impression of injustice in the trial.[144] For almost every issue presented by the defense, the state had a response: most of the repudiations were either retracted or disavowed by the witnesses; the question of whether outdated order pads used to write the murder notes had been in the basement before the murder was disputed; the integrity of the defense's investigators were questioned and intimidation and bribery were charged; and the significance of Conley's letters to Annie Carter was disputed.[145]The defense, in its rebuttal, tried to bolster the testimony relating to the murder notes and the Carter letters. (These issues were reexamined later when the governor considered commuting Frank's sentence.)[146] During the defense's closing argument, the issue of the repudiations was put to rest by Judge Hill's ruling that the court could only consider the revocation of testimony if the subject were tried and found guilty of perjury.[147] The judge denied Frank a new trial and the full court upheld the decision on November 14, 1914. The full court also said that the due process issue should have been raised earlier, characterizing what it considered a belated effort as "trifling with the court".[148][149]
Federal appeals
The next step for the Frank team was to appeal the issue through the federal system. The original request for a writ of error on the absence of Frank from the jury's announcement of the verdict was first denied by Justice Joseph Rucker Lamar and then Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. Both denied the request because they agreed with the Georgia court that the issue was raised too late. The full Supreme Court then heard arguments, but denied the motion without issuing a written decision. However, Holmes said, "I very seriously doubt if the petitioner ... has had due process of law ... because of the trial taking place in the presence of a hostile demonstration and seemingly dangerous crowd, thought by the presiding Judge to be ready for violence unless a verdict of guilty was rendered."[150][151] Holmes's statement, as well as public indignation over this latest rejection by the courts, encouraged Frank's team to attempt a habeas corpus motion, arguing that the threat of crowd violence had forced Frank to be absent from the verdict hearing and constituted a violation of due process. Justice Lamar heard the motion and agreed that the full Supreme Court should hear the appeal.
On April 19, 1915, the Supreme Court denied the appeal by a 7–2 vote in the case Frank v. Mangum. Part of the decision repeated the message of the last decision: that Frank failed "to raise the objection in due season when fully cognizant of the fact."[152] Holmes and Charles Evans Hughes dissented, with Holmes writing, "It is our duty to declare lynch law as little valid when practiced by a regularly drawn jury as when administered by one elected by a mob intent on death."[153]
Commutation of sentence
Hearing
On April 22, 1915, an application for a commutation of Frank's death sentence was submitted to a three-person Prison Commission in Georgia; it was rejected on June 9 by a vote of 2–1. The dissenter indicated that he felt it was wrong to execute a man "on the testimony of an accomplice, when the circumstances of the crime tend to fix the guilt upon the accomplice."[154] The application then passed to Governor John Slaton. Slaton had been elected in 1912 and his term would end four days after Frank's scheduled execution. In 1913, before Phagan's murder, Slaton agreed to merge his law firm with that of Luther Rosser, who became Frank's lead attorney (Slaton was not directly involved in the original trial). After the commutation, popular Georgia politician Tom Watson attacked Slaton, often focusing on his partnership with Rosser as a conflict of interest.[155][156]
Slaton opened hearings on June 12. In addition to receiving presentations from both sides with new arguments and evidence, Slaton visited the crime scene and reviewed over 10,000 pages of documents. This included various letters, including one written by Judge Roan shortly before he died asking Slaton to correct his mistake.[157][n 17][n 18] Slaton also received more than 1,000 death threats. During the hearing, former Governor Joseph Brown warned Slaton, "In all frankness, if Your Excellency wishes to invoke lynch law in Georgia and destroy trial by jury, the way to do it is by retrying this case and reversing all the courts."[160][161] According to Tom Watson's biographer, C. Vann Woodward, "While the hearings of the petition to commute were in progress Watson sent a friend to the governor with the promise that if Slaton allowed Frank to hang, Watson would be his 'friend', which would result in his 'becoming United States senator and the master of Georgia politics for twenty years to come.'"[162]
Slaton produced a 29-page report. In the first part, he criticized outsiders who were unfamiliar with the evidence, especially the press in the North. He defended the trial court's decision, which he felt was sufficient for a guilty verdict. He summarized points of the state's case against Frank that "any reasonable person" would accept and said of Conley, "It is hard to conceive that any man's power of fabrication of minute details could reach that which Conley showed, unless it be the truth." After having made these points, Slaton's narrative changed course and asked the rhetorical question, "Did Conley speak the truth?"[163]Leonard Dinnerstein wrote, "Slaton based his opinions primarily upon the inconsistencies he had discovered in the narrative of Jim Conley."[164] Two factors stood out to Slaton: the transporting of the body to the basement and the murder notes.[165]
Transport of the body
During the initial investigation, police had noted undisturbed human excrement in the elevator shaft, which Conley said he had left there before the murder. Use of the elevator on the Monday after the murder crushed the excrement, which Slaton concluded was an indication that the elevator could not have been used as described by Conley, casting doubt on his testimony.[n 19][n 20][n 21]
During the commutation hearing, Slaton asked Dorsey to address this issue. Dorsey said that the elevator did not always go all the way to the bottom and could be stopped anywhere. Frank's attorney rebutted this by quoting Conley, who said that the elevator stops when it hits the bottom. Slaton interviewed others and conducted his own tests on his visit to the factory, concluding that every time the elevator made the trip to the basement it touched the bottom. Slaton said, "If the elevator was not used by Conley and Frank in taking the body to the basement, then the explanation of Conley cannot be accepted."[168][n 22]
Murder notes
The murder notes had been analyzed before at the extraordinary motion hearing. Handwriting expert Albert S. Osborn reviewed the previous evidence at the commutation hearing and commented, for the first time, that the notes were written in the third person rather than the first person. He said that the first person would have been more logical since they were intended to be the final statements of a dying Phagan. He argued this was the type of error that Conley would have made, rather than Frank, as Conley was a sweeper and not a Cornell-educated manager like Frank.[170]
Conley's former attorney, William Smith, had become convinced that his client had committed the murder. Smith produced a 100-page analysis of the notes for the defense. He analyzed "speech and writing patterns" and "spelling, grammar, repetition of adjectives, [and] favorite verb forms". He concluded, "In this article I show clearly that Conley did not tell the truth about those notes."[171] Slaton compared the murder notes, Conley's letters to Annie Maude Carter, and his trial testimony. Throughout these documents, he found similar use of the words "like", "play", "lay", "love", and "hisself". He also found double adjectives such as "long tall negro", "tall, slim build heavy man", and "good long wide piece of cord in his hands".[172]
Slaton was also convinced that the murder notes were written in the basement, not in Frank's office. Slaton accepted the defense's argument that the notes were written on dated order pads signed by a former employee that were only kept in the basement.[173] Slaton wrote that the employee signed an affidavit stating that, when he left the company in 1912, "he personally packed up all of the duplicate orders ... and sent them down to the basement to be burned. This evidence was never passed upon by the jury and developed since the trial."[174]
Timing and physical evidence
Slaton's narrative touched on other aspects of the evidence and testimony that suggested reasonable doubt. For example, he accepted the defense's argument that charges by Conley of perversion were based on someone coaching him that Jews were circumcised. He accepted the defense's interpretation of the timeline;[175] citing the evidence produced at trial – including the possibility that Stover did not see Frank because she did not proceed further than the outer office – he wrote: "Therefore, Monteen Stover must have arrived before Mary Phagan, and while Monteen Stover was in the room it hardly seems possible under the evidence, that Mary Phagan was at that time being murdered."[176] Slaton also said that Phagan's head wound must have bled profusely, yet there was no blood found on the lathe, the ground nearby, in the elevator, or the steps leading downstairs. He also said that Phagan's nostrils and mouth were filled with dirt and sawdust which could only have come from the basement.[177]
Slaton also commented on Conley's story (that Conley was watching out for the arrival of a lady for Frank on the day of the murder):
His story necessarily bears the construction that Frank had an engagement with Mary Phagan which no evidence in the case would justify. If Frank had engaged Conley to watch for him, it could only have been for Mary Phagan, since he made no improper suggestion to any other female on that day, and it was undisputed that many did come up prior to 12.00 o'clock, and whom could Frank have been expecting except Mary Phagan under Conley's story. This view cannot be entertained, as an unjustifiable reflection on the young girl.[178]
Conclusion
On Monday, June 21, 1915, Slaton released the order to commute Frank's murder conviction to life imprisonment. Slaton's legal rationale was that there was sufficient new evidence not available at the original trial to justify Frank's actions.[179] He wrote:
In the Frank case three matters have developed since the trial which did not come before the jury, to-wit: The Carter notes, the testimony of Becker, indicating the death notes were written in the basement, and the testimony of Dr. Harris, that he was under the impression that the hair on the lathe was not that of Mary Phagan, and thus tending to show that the crime was not committed on the floor of Frank's office. While defense made the subject an extraordinary motion for a new trial, it is well known that it is almost a practical impossibility to have a verdict set aside by this procedure.[180]
The commutation was headline news. Atlanta Mayor Jimmy Woodward remarked that "The larger part of the population believes Frank guilty and that the commutation was a mistake."[181] In response, Slaton invited the press to his home that afternoon, telling them:
All I ask is that the people of Georgia read my statement and consider calmly the reasons I have given for commuting Leo M. Frank's sentence. Feeling as I do about this case, I would be a murderer if I allowed that man to hang. I would rather be ploughing in a field than to feel for the rest of my life that I had that man's blood on my hands.[181]
He also told reporters that he was certain that Conley was the actual murderer.[181] Slaton privately told friends that he would have issued a full pardon, if not for his belief that Frank would soon be able to prove his own innocence.[n 23]
Reaction of the public
The public was outraged. A mob threatened to attack the governor at his home. A detachment of the Georgia National Guard, along with county policemen and a group of Slaton's friends who were sworn in as deputies, dispersed the mob.[183] Slaton had been a popular governor, but he and his wife left Georgia immediately thereafter.[184]
For Frank's protection, he was taken to the Milledgeville State Penitentiary in the middle of the night before the commutation was announced. The penitentiary was "strongly garrisoned and newly bristling with arms" and separated from Marietta by 150 miles (240 km) of mostly unpaved road.[185] However, on July 17, The New York Times reported that fellow inmate William Creen tried to kill Frank by slashing his throat with a 7-inch (18 cm) butcher knife, severing his jugular vein. The attacker told the authorities he "wanted to keep the other inmates safe from mob violence, Frank's presence was a disgrace to the prison, and he was sure he would be pardoned if he killed Frank."[186]
Antisemitism and media coverage
The sensationalism in the press started before the trial and continued throughout the trial, the appeals process, the commutation decision, and beyond.[n 24] At the time, local papers were the dominant source of information, but they were not entirely anti-Frank. The Constitution alone assumed Frank's guilt, while both the Georgianand the Journal would later comment about the public hysteria in Atlanta during the trial, each suggesting the need to reexamine the evidence against the defendant.[188] On March 14, 1914, while the extraordinary motion hearing was pending, the Journal called for a new trial, saying that to execute Frank based on the atmosphere both within and outside the courtroom would "amount to judicial murder." Other newspapers in the state followed suit and many ministers spoke from the pulpit supporting a new trial. L. O. Bricker, the pastor of the church attended by Phagan's family, said that based on "the awful tension of public feeling, it was next to impossible for a jury of our fellow human beings to have granted him a fair, fearless and impartial trial."[189][n 25]
On October 12, 1913, the New York Sun became the first major Northern paper to give a detailed account of the Frank trial. In discussing the charges of antisemitism in the trial, it described Atlanta as more liberal on the subject than any other Southern cities. It went on to say that antisemitism did arise during the trial as Atlantans reacted to statements attributed to Frank's Jewish supporters, who dismissed Phagan as "nothing but a factory girl". The paper said, "The anti-Semitic feeling was the natural result of the belief that the Jews had banded to free Frank, innocent or guilty. The supposed solidarity of the Jews for Frank, even if he was guilty, caused a Gentile solidarity against him."[191] On November 8, 1913, the executive committee of the American Jewish Committee, headed by Louis Marshall, addressed the Frank case. They did so following Judge Roan's reconsideration motion and motivated by the issues raised in the Sun. They chose not to take a public stance as a committee, instead deciding to raise funds individually to influence public opinion in favor of Frank.[191]
Albert Lasker, a wealthy advertising magnate, responded to these calls to help Frank. Lasker contributed personal funds and arranged a public relations effort in support of Frank. In Atlanta, during the time of the extraordinary motion, Lasker coordinated Frank's meetings with the press and coined the slogan "The Truth Is on the March" to characterize the efforts of Frank's defense team. He persuaded prominent figures such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Jane Addams to make statements supporting Frank.[192] During the commutation hearing, Vice President Thomas R. Marshall weighed in, as did many leading magazine and newspaper editors, including Herbert Croly, editor of the New Republic; C.P.J. Mooney, editor of the Chicago Tribune; Mark Sullivan, editor of Collier's; R. E. Stafford, editor of the Daily Oklahoman; and D. D. Moore, editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.[193] Adolph Ochs, publisher of The New York Times, became involved about the same time as Lasker, organizing a prolonged campaign advocating for a new trial for Frank.[n 26]Lindemann argues that the publicity campaign had a wide national reach:
Outside of Georgia, as the case gained national visibility, widespread sympathy for Frank was expressed. He received at final count close to a hundred thousand letters of sympathy in jail, and prominent figures throughout the country, including governors of other states, U.S. senators, clergymen, university presidents, and labor leaders, spoke up in his defense. Thousands of petitions in his favor, containing over a million signatures, flowed in.[195]
Both Ochs and Lasker attempted to heed Louis Marshall's warnings about antagonizing the "sensitiveness of the southern people and engender the feeling that the north is criticizing the courts and the people of Georgia." Dinnerstein writes that these attempts failed, "because many Georgians interpreted every item favorable to Frank as a hostile act."[196]
Tom Watson, editor of the Jeffersonian, had remained publicly silent during Frank's trial. Among Watson's political enemies was Senator Hoke Smith, former owner of The Atlanta Journal, which was still considered to be Smith's political instrument. When the Journal called for a reevaluation of the evidence against Frank, Watson, in the March 19, 1914, edition of his magazine, attacked Smith for trying "to bring the courts into disrepute, drag down the judges to the level of criminals, and destroy the confidence of the people in the orderly process of the law."[197]Watson also questioned whether Frank expected "extraordinary favors and immunities because of his race"[197] and questioned the wisdom of Jews to "risk the good name ... of the whole race" to save "the decadent offshoot of a great people."[198] Subsequent articles concentrated on the Frank case and became more and more impassioned in their attacks. C. Vann Woodward writes that Watson "pulled all the stops: Southern chivalry, sectional animus, race prejudice, class consciousness, agrarian resentment, state pride."[n 27]
When describing the public reaction to Frank, historians mention the class and ethnic tensions in play while acknowledging the complexity of the case and the difficulty in gauging the importance of his Jewishness, class, and northern background. Historian John Higham writes that "economic resentment, frustrated progressivism, and race consciousness combined to produce a classic case of lynch law. ... Hatred of organized wealth reaching into Georgia from outside became a hatred of Jewish wealth."[n 28] Historian Nancy MacLean writes that some historians have argued that this was an American Dreyfus affair, which she said "[could] be explained only in light of the social tensions unleashed by the growth of industry and cities in the turn-of-the-century South. These circumstances made a Jewish employer a more fitting scapegoat for disgruntled whites than the other leading suspect in the case, a black worker."[201] Albert Lindemann said that Frank on trial found himself "in a position of much latent tension and symbolism." Stating that it is impossible to determine the extent to which antisemitism affected his image, he concluded that "[Frank was seen as] a representative of Yankee capitalism in a southern city, with row upon row of southern women, often the daughters and wives of ruined farmers, 'at his mercy' – a rich, punctilious, northern Jew lording it over vulnerable and impoverished working women."[n 29]
Abduction and lynching
The June 21, 1915, commutation provoked Tom Watson into advocating Frank's lynching.[203] He wrote in The Jeffersonian and Watson's Magazine: "This country has nothing to fear from its rural communities. Lynch law is a good sign; it shows that a sense of justice lives among the people."[204][n 30] A group of prominent men organized themselves into the "Vigilance Committee" and openly planned to kidnap Frank from prison. They consisted of 28 men with various skills: an electrician was to cut the prison wires, car mechanics were to keep the cars running, and there was a locksmith, a telephone man, a medic, a hangman, and a lay preacher.[205] The ringleaders were well known locally, but were not named publicly until June 2000, when a local librarian posted a list on the Web based on information compiled by Phagan's great-niece, Mary Phagan Kean (b. 1953).[206] The list included Joseph Mackey Brown, former governor of Georgia; Eugene Herbert Clay, former mayor of Marietta and later president of the Georgia Senate; E. P. Dobbs, mayor of Marietta at the time; Moultrie McKinney Sessions, lawyer and banker; part of the Marietta delegation at Governor Slaton's clemency hearing;[207][n 31] several current and former Cobb County sheriffs; and other individuals of various professions.[208]
On the afternoon of August 16, the eight cars of the lynch mob left Marietta separately for Milledgeville. They arrived at the prison at around 10:00 p.m. The electrician cut the telephone wires, and members of the group drained the gas from the prison's automobiles, handcuffed the warden, seized Frank, and drove away. The 175-mile (282 km) trip took about seven hours at a top speed of 18 miles per hour (29 km/h) through small towns on back roads. Lookouts in the towns telephoned ahead to the next town as soon as they saw the line of cars pass by. A site at Frey's Gin, two miles (3 km) east of Marietta, had been prepared, complete with a rope and table supplied by former Sheriff William Frey.[209] The New York Times reported Frank was handcuffed, his legs tied at the ankles, and that he was hanged from a branch of a tree at around 7:00 a.m., facing the direction of the house where Phagan had lived.[210]
The Atlanta Journal wrote that a crowd of men, women, and children arrived on foot, in cars, and on horses, and that souvenir hunters cut away parts of his shirt sleeves.[211] According to The New York Times, one of the onlookers, Robert E. Lee Howell – related to Clark Howell, editor of The Atlanta Constitution – wanted to have the body cut into pieces and burned, and began to run around, screaming, whipping up the mob. Judge Newt Morris tried to restore order, and asked for a vote on whether the body should be returned to the parents intact; only Howell disagreed. When the body was cut down, Howell started stamping on Frank's face and chest; Morris quickly placed the body in a basket, and he and his driver John Stephens Wood drove it out of Marietta.[210][212]
In Atlanta, thousands besieged the undertaker's parlor, demanding to see the body; after the mob began breaking glass panes, they were allowed to file past the corpse. Around 15,000 people were estimated to have looked upon Frank's body. Policemen guarded Frank's casket for fear of further violence.[214][210] Frank's body was then transported by rail on Southern Railway's train No. 36 from Atlanta to New York and buried in the Mount Carmel Cemetery in Glendale, Queens, New York on August 20, 1915.[215] (When Lucille Frank died, she was not buried with Leo; she was cremated, and eventually buried next to her parents' graves.)[216]
Immediate reactions
On August 19, 1915, The New York Times reported that the vast majority of Cobb County believed Frank had received his just deserts, and that the lynch mob had simply stepped in to uphold the law after Governor Slaton arbitrarily set it aside.[210] A Cobb County grand jury was convened to indict the lynchers; although they were well known locally, none were identified, and some of the lynchers may have served on the very same grand jury that was investigating them.[216][217]Nat Harris, the newly elected governor who succeeded Slaton, promised to punish the mob, issuing a $1,500 state reward for information. Despite this, Charles Willis Thompson of The New York Times said that the citizens of Marietta "would die rather than reveal their knowledge or even their suspicion [of the identities of the lynchers]", and the local Macon Telegraph said, "Doubtless they can be apprehended – doubtful they will."[218]
Several photographs were taken of the lynching, which were published and sold as postcards in local stores for 25 cents each; also sold were pieces of the rope, Frank's nightshirt, and branches from the tree. According to Elaine Marie Alphin, author of An Unspeakable Crime: The Prosecution and Persecution of Leo Frank, they were selling so fast that the police announced that sellers would require a city license.[219] In the postcards, members of the lynch mob or crowd can be seen posing in front of the body, one of them holding a portable camera. Historian Amy Louise Wood writes that local newspapers did not publish the photographs because it would have been too controversial, given that the lynch mob can be clearly seen and that the lynching was being condemned around the country. The Columbia State newspaper, which opposed the lynching, sarcastically wrote: "The heroic Marietta lynchers are too modest to give their photographs to the newspapers." Wood also writes that a news film of the lynching that included the photographs was released, although it focused on the crowds without showing Frank's body; its showing was prevented by censorship boards around the U.S., though Wood says there is no evidence that it was stopped in Atlanta.[220][n 33]
The lynching of Frank and its publicity temporarily halted lynchings.[221]
Frank's case was mentioned by Adolf Kraus when he announced the creation of the Anti-Defamation League in October 1913.[222][223] After Frank's lynching, around half of Georgia's 3,000 Jews left the state.[224] According to author Steve Oney, "What it did to Southern Jews can't be discounted ... It drove them into a state of denial about their Judaism. They became even more assimilated, anti-Israel, Episcopalian. The Temple did away with chupahs at weddings – anything that would draw attention."[225] Many American Jews saw Frank as an American Alfred Dreyfus, like Frank, a victim of antisemitic persecution.[226]
Two weeks after the lynching, in the September 2, 1915, issue of The Jeffersonian, Watson wrote, "the voice of the people is the voice of God",[227]capitalizing on his sensational coverage of the controversial trial. In 1914, when Watson began reporting his anti-Frank message, The Jeffersonian's circulation had been 25,000; by September 2, 1915, its circulation was 87,000.[228]
The lynching of Leo Frank and its backlash may have contributed to the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, a group notorious for racial violence against Jewish people in particular. Its 1915 revival came just one month after the lynching,[229] and hot off the heels of the release of The Birth of a Nation, a film glorifying the first Ku Klux Klan.
Later consensus: a miscarriage of justice
The consensus of researchers on the subject is that Frank was wrongly convicted.[n 34][n 35] The Atlanta Constitution stated it was investigating the case again in the 1940s. A reporter who visited Frank's widow (she never remarried), Lucille, stated that she started crying when he discussed the case with her.[216]
Jeffrey Melnick wrote, "There is near unanimity around the idea that Frank was most certainly innocent of the crime of murdering Mary Phagan."[3] Other historians and journalists have written that the trial was "a gross injustice", "a miscarriage of justice",[n 36] and "a mockery of justice";[n 37] that "there can be no doubt, of course, that ... [Frank was] innocent";[n 38] that "Leo Frank ... was unjustly and wrongly convicted of murder";[234] that he "was falsely convicted";[n 39] and that "the evidence against Frank was shaky, to say the least".[236] C. Vann Woodward, like many other authors,[n 40] believed that Conley was the actual murderer and was "implicated by evidence overwhelmingly more incriminating than any produced against Frank."[61]
Critics cite a number of problems with the conviction. Local newspaper coverage, even before Frank was officially charged, was deemed to be inaccurate and prejudicial.[n 41] Some claimed that the prosecutor Hugh Dorsey was under pressure for a quick conviction because of recent unsolved murders and made a premature decision that Frank was guilty, a decision that his personal ambition would not allow him to reconsider.[n 42] Later analysis of evidence, primarily by Governor Slaton and Conley's attorney William Smith, seemed to exculpate Frank while implicating Conley.[n 43]
In modern times, despite strong evidence pointing to Frank's innocence, the case has become a modern focal point for neo-Nazis and antisemites. This is partly because it led to the creation of the Anti-Defamation League but also because it fed into antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming Jewish control of the media. As a consequence, in recent years a number of websites have been established by white supremacists disputing the prevailing consensus of Frank's innocence.[249]On the centenary of the trial, the Anti-Defamation League issued a press release condemning what it called "misleading websites" from "anti-Semites ... to promote anti-Jewish views".[250]
Applications for posthumous pardon
In 1982, Alonzo Mann, who had been Frank's office boy at the time of Phagan's murder, told The Tennessean that he had seen Jim Conley alone shortly after noon carrying Phagan's body through the lobby toward the ladder descending into the basement.[251] Though Mann's testimony was not sufficient to settle the issue, it was the basis of an attempt by Charles Wittenstein, Southern counsel for the Anti-Defamation League, and Dale Schwartz, an Atlanta lawyer, to obtain a posthumous pardon for Frank from the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles. The board also reviewed the files from Slaton's commutation decision.[252] It denied the pardon in 1983, hindered in its investigation by the lack of available records. It concluded that, "After exhaustive review and many hours of deliberation, it is impossible to decide conclusively the guilt or innocence of Leo M. Frank. For the board to grant a pardon, the innocence of the subject must be shown conclusively."[253] At the time, the lead editorial in The Atlanta Constitution began, "Leo Frank has been lynched a second time."[254]
Frank supporters submitted a second application for pardon, asking the state only to recognize its culpability over his death. The board granted the pardon in 1986.[253] It said:
Without attempting to address the question of guilt or innocence, and in recognition of the State's failure to protect the person of Leo M. Frank and thereby preserve his opportunity for continued legal appeal of his conviction, and in recognition of the State's failure to bring his killers to justice, and as an effort to heal old wounds, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, in compliance with its Constitutional and statutory authority, hereby grants to Leo M. Frank a Pardon.[255]
In response to the pardon, an editorial by Fred Grimm in the Miami Herald said, "A salve for one of the South's most hateful, festering memories, was finally applied."[256]
Historical marker
In 2008, a state historical marker was erected by the Georgia Historical Society, the Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation, and Temple Kol Emeth, near the building at 1200 Roswell Road, Marietta where Frank was lynched.[257] In 2015, the Georgia Historical Society, the Atlanta History Center, and the Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation dedicated a Georgia Historical Society marker honoring Governor John M. Slaton at the Atlanta History Center.[258]
Anti-lynching memorial
In 2018, the Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation, with support from the ADL, and Rabbi Steve Lebow of Temple Kol Emeth, placed the first national anti-lynching memorial at the Georgia Department of Transportation designated Leo Frank memorial site. The anti-lynching memorial was facilitated by a strong letter of support to the Georgia Department of Transportation by Congressman John Lewis when the Department turned down siting permission.[259] The text of the anti-lynching memorial text reads, "In Respectful Memory of the Thousands Across America, Denied Justice by Lynching; Victims of Hatred, Prejudice and Ignorance. Between 1880-1946, ~570 Georgians Were Lynched."[260][261]
In popular culture
During the trial, Atlanta musician and millworker Fiddlin' John Carson wrote and performed a murder ballad entitled "Little Mary Phagan". During the mill strikes of 1914, Carson sang "Little Mary Phagan" to crowds from the Fulton Countycourthouse steps. His daughter, Moonshine Kate, later recorded the song.[263] An unrecorded Carson song, "Dear Old Oak in Georgia", sentimentalizes the tree from which Leo Frank was hanged.[264]
The Frank case has been the subject of several media adaptations. In 1921, African-American director Oscar Micheaux directed a silent race filmentitled The Gunsaulus Mystery, followed by Murder in Harlem in 1935.[265] In 1937, Mervyn LeRoy directed They Won't Forget, based on the Ward Greene novel Death in The Deep South, which was in turn inspired by the Frank case.[266]
An episode of the 1964 TV series Profiles in Courage dramatized Governor John M. Slaton's decision to commute Frank's sentence. The episode starred Walter Matthau as Governor Slaton and Michael Constantine as Tom Watson.[267] The 1988 TV miniseries The Murder of Mary Phagan was broadcast on NBC, starring Jack Lemmon as Gov. John Slaton, and featured Kevin Spacey.[268]
The 1998 Broadway musical Parade, based on the case, won two Tony Awards.[269]
In 2009, Ben Loeterman directed the documentary film The People v. Leo Frank.[270]
A 2023 Broadway revival of Parade won Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical and Best Direction of a Musical.[271]
The life of Leo Frank appears in the documentary series "A Jew in America – Torn Identity", which explores stories of American Jews and their search for identity.[272]
It’s seems that this case with the help of the media and interest groups was intentionally artificially overhyped,
why?
Lets sprang to the 1990-2000 and see what happens here:
Los Angeles Court Hands Down Final Judgment in Anti-Defamation League Illegal Surveillance Case
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs,December 1999, pages 43, 137
By Michael Gillespie
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) versus the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith (ADL) litigation resulting from the 1993 ADL spy scandal was settled in a California federal court on Monday, Sept. 27, following nearly six years of legal wrangling.
“The ADL was running a major espionage organization against progressive groups in the United States,” said Hussein Ibish, media director for the ADC, the Arab-American organization that provided leadership in the class action suit representing over 800 groups and individuals targeted by the ADL.
The settlement is an important victory in the effort to curtail espionage activity by the ADL, which, with an annual budget of some $45 million, is still the best funded American Jewish group and one that, prior to the 1993 domestic spying scandal, had sought recognition as a national civil rights monitoring organization.
“Under the permanent injunction issued by Federal Judge Richard Paez, the ADL is permanently enjoined from engaging in any further illegal spying against Arab-American and other civil rights groups,” said Ibish. The ADL is also required to provide an annual statement to the court and ADC’s legal counsel in years to come explaining the measures it is taking to remain in compliance with the court order.
A court-appointed Special Master will supervise the removal of illegally obtained information from the ADL’s files. Those documents will be held by the Special Master for a maximum period of 10 years, time to allow the adjudication of other, related civil suits still pending against the ADL. The ADL also will contribute $25,000 to a jointly administered community relations fund. More significant was the judge’s order to ADL to pay $175,000 for the plaintiffs’ legal fees.
The Arab-American group’s lead counsel, Peter Schey of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law, characterized the ADL’s sharing of illegally obtained confidential law enforcement information with Israeli, apartheid South African and other foreign and domestic intelligence organizations as antagonistic to positive social change. “The work the ADL was doing was not civil rights work,” said Schey, “it was anti-civil rights work.”
After COINTELPRO, a still-controversial FBI operation to destabilize black nationalist and other groups in the ’60s and ’70s, the FBI, state and local law enforcement authorities were ordered out of the business of gathering information about legitimate political activity by American citizens. But in some major American cities, law enforcement files relating to legitimate and Constitutionally protected political activities that had been ordered destroyed instead found their way to the offices of the ADL, which quickly became a clearinghouse for such illegally obtained and illegally retained information.
The absence of the FBI, state, and local police investigators in the field therefore created a void the ADL rushed to fill, with remarkable success, by increasing its in-house “fact-finding” assets and capabilities and developing enhanced working relationships with “official friends”—government officials, investigators, and intelligence officers. Some of these were the officials who had not destroyed files of illegally obtained materials, or had made private copies of the official files before they were destroyed in compliance with the court order.
AN INTELLIGENCE CONDUIT
The ADL favored many of its “official friends” with expense-paid trips to Israel, where they met with and were entertained by friendly officers of Israel’s espionage and counter-intelligence organizations, Mossad and Shin Bet, thus creating a major conduit for the flow of sensitive and useful U.S. domestic political intelligence to Israel’s spymasters in Tel Aviv.
Knowledgeable observers have characterized the San Francisco district attorney’s 1993 investigation of the ADL as a continuation by proxy of an investigation begun more than two years earlier by FBI counter-intelligence officials. Their apparent aim was to impede if not halt the activities of the ADL’s sophisticated nation-wide espionage and intelligence gathering network.
“Government investigators or private investigators, there is no lesser of two evils here. No one should be doing that kind of work,” said Schey. “The ease with which the ADL moved into a position of gathering information on groups not threatening to them was insidious. They really got sucked into this intelligence subculture and went into the service of war policy, especially in Central America.”
On the domestic level, Schey characterized the ADL’s shift from civil rights monitoring to espionage and intelligence-gathering as intolerable. “That they would turn their capabilities on people and groups engaged in legitimate civil rights causes—by any measure that’s outrageous conduct for an organization that presents itself as a civil rights organization. They were targeting everyone from the Asian Law Caucus to the United Farm Workers.”
The ADL became a clearinghouse for illegally obtained and retained information.
“Why the hell was ADL watching Greenpeace or the National Conference of Black Lawyers?” asked Ibish. “It doesn’t make sense for ADL to want that kind of information, but a national security organization like Mossad would, of course. They spied on everyone within reach, left, right, and center. Their actions, methods, and means are typical of a national espionage organization but unprecedented for a civil rights organization. Why was ADL behaving like an espionage organization?
“The permanent injunction is tacit admission that they were spying,” said Ibish. “They can’t deny what they have promised to stop doing. The injunction ought to have an effect on any sensible organization. Of course, if the connection with the Mossad is a factor, the injunction probably won’t have much effect.”
The ADL continues to deny any wrongdoing. An ADL press release proclaims that the League is “pleased to finally resolve the litigation” in a manner that “explicitly recognizes the ADL’s right to gather information in any lawful and Constitutionally-protected manner, which we have always done and will continue to do.”
No other major American Jewish organization has condemned the ADL for its political excesses or its documented association with Israeli intelligence organizations.
Schey said the ADL developed a completely distorted view of who presents a threat to the Jewish community in the U.S., describing “such an isolationist vision that it perceived a wide range of ethnic communities as threatening, assigning them to an ”˜enemy camp.’ Many of those groups might disagree with the ADL on the Middle East, for example, but they might agree on many other issues. The way the ADL drew boundaries was completely irrational.”
Disappointingly, the mainstream American media have devoted little ink and less airtime to the settlement of this major civil rights case. “The settlement is being ignored by the mainstream press,” charged Ibish. “We had hoped the press would understand the importance of this case without our reminding them, but that has not happened. The Jewish press is taking it more seriously.”
The case was settled in a Los Angeles federal court, but the Los Angeles Times gave the story a mere 281 words in a news summary in its Sept. 28 Metro Home Edition. And although the investigation involved files stolen from the San Francisco police department, the San Francisco Chronicle also buried its brief account of the court’s decision.
The apparent disinterest of San Franciso and Los Angeles reporters in a local story of such importance is all the more astonishing in view of the ADL’s systematic violation of privacy and the broad targeting of its intelligence gathering effort which, in addition to the organizations named above, included Artists Against Apartheid, ACT UP, Action for Animals, the Asian Law Caucus of San Francisco, the American Indian Movement (AIM) and, among hundreds of individuals, a number of prominent elected officials and public figures. The ADL conducted covert surveillance of many groups and individuals and, through its “official friends,” illegally accessed confidential government and law enforcement files to obtain fingerprints, photos, social security numbers, drivers’ license numbers and information, vehicle registration and license plate numbers, post office box numbers, and other information not legally available to the public.
Roy Bullock, an espionage operative working out of the ADL’s San Francisco office and in the employ of the group for more than 30 years, was paid through a secret ADL bank account held in a false name and controlled by Bruce Hochman, a prominent Beverly Hills lawyer, former federal prosecutor and former president of the Jewish Federation Council of Greater Los Angeles.
Among co-plaintiffs with ADC in the suit were former Congressman Melvin Dymally, former Los Angeles City Councilor Robert Farrell, the National Conference of Black Lawyers, the National Lawyers Guild, the Bay Area Anti-Aparthied Network, the National Association of Arab American University Graduates (AAUG), the Coalition Against Police Abuse, the Committee in Solidarity With the People of El Salvador, Global Exchange, the International Jewish Peace Union, AIM and the Palestine Solidarity Committee.
Still pending adjudication are at least two additional civil cases that arose as a result of the 1993 spy scandal and media revelations of illegal ADL espionage activities in California and beyond.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is a non-profit organization founded in 1913. Masquerading as a “civil rights” group, the ADL is a counterinsurgency organization with international reach. Its mission is to protect the mutual interests of the US and Israeli governments – and to eliminate solidarity among oppressed and colonized peoples, especially concerning Palestine.
The ADL carries out this mission by spying on and criminalizing activists, using its close connections to governments, police forces, schools, and corporations. When it is not directly attacking activists and organizers, the ADL undermines their work by pushing its own state-sanctioned, pro-Israel programs. And while the ADL claims to represent Jews and to fight “antisemitism” on their behalf, the organization has a record of supporting anti-Jewish state violence and normalizing Nazis.

Last week then I came across this information:
"The Ugly Truth About the Anti-Defamation League"
ADL #6
THE HOUR OF THE TIME
Tape No. 476: "ADL #6"
Friday, November 4, 1994
The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith proclaims itself to be a non-profit corporation, designed to eliminate defamation of Jews and other religious and ethnic groups, to advance proper understanding among all peoples, and to preserve and translate into greater effectiveness the principles of freedom, equality, and democracy."
This statement is taken directly from the bylaws of the ADL of B'nai B'rith, as amended by the National Commission, June 1982. And nothing, dear listeners, could be further from the truth.
In repeated, flagrant violation of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Codes, the ADL operates as a tax-exempt public interest corporation, while in reality, ladies and gentlemen, it engages in a wide range of activities that are inherently criminal in nature, including interference in the judicial and law enforcement process; support for domestic and international terrorist organizations; instigation of hate crimes; espionage; support for suspected international narcotics traffickers; unregistered political activities; and covert activities on behalf of both hostile foreign governments and United States government, agencies generally linked to the International Social Democracy.
It is a matter of historical record that before, during, and immediately after World War II, the Anti-Defamation League functioned as a covert action arm of the British Special Operations Executive under its North American Chief, Sir William Stephenson , in close liaison with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Division V--the Division that I have named as being implicated in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Through its 151-member National Commission and its paid staff maintaining regional offices in 31 cities in the United States, and a number of locations in Europe, the Middle East, Ibarow America, and the Soviet Union--in fact, a Moscow office is in the process of being opened at the invitation of President Mikhail Gorbachev at the time this report was written--the ADL operates as a covert strike force, whose corrupting influence extends into the pores of the financial community, the legal establishment, the media, and the United States government, at the federal, state, and local level.
And everything that I am stating tonight, and will state in the following nights, have been proven, can be proven, and is a matter of fact. And most of it is in the public record.
Above all else, ladies and gentlemen, the ADL is a public relations front for that branch of American organized crime founded by Meyer Lansky during the early decades of this century, under the patronage and sponsorship of leading Anglo-American financial interests.
Anti-Defamation League officials, for this reason, were reportedly deeply dismayed when a man by the name of Lyndon LaRouche dubbed the ADL "the American drug lobby".
More recently, the ADL has moved to deepen its ties to the Soviet foreign intelligence services operating in the west, and in the newly liberated nations of central Europe.
The ADL, folks, according to its bylaws, is run by a National Commission which currently consists of 151 members. It is chaired by a National Chairman, currently Abe Foxman. The National Commission formally meets once each year.
According to Article 7 of the bylaws in the interval between the National Commission annual meetings, the ADL's National Executive Committee acts for it.
The NEC is composed of:
a Chairman; a Senior Rabbi at Temple Immanuel in New York City; and Vice Chairman;
the elected officers of the National Committee:
the President; Executive Vice President; and Honorary Past Presidents of B'nai B'rith;
together with:
their counterparts of B'nai B'rith Women; the appointed Chairmen of all of the ADL Standing Committees; and the President of the ADL Foundation;
together with:
fifteen additional members of the National Committee who are elected by it.
The ADL is formally affiliated with B'nai B'rith, which is the Jewish arm of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. However, this link is principally maintained through the B'nai B'rith's representation on ADL's National Commission.
Unlike its parent organization the B'nai B'rith, the ADL is not a membership organization. In other words, you cannot join the ADL, as many Jewish people erroneously believe. You cannot join the ADL. Membership is by nomination or invitation only. In this sense, the ADL bears a greater likeness to the secret lodges of Freemasonry than its B'nai B'rith parent organization, which was originally conceived in the mid-nineteenth century as a Jewish branch of British Freemasonry.
Remember, British Intelligence and the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry was behind the Civil War. You see, it was all right for the states to secede from the Union. But it was not OK to fire upon a United States fort.
The current President of B'nai B'rith is Seymour D. Reich , a long-standing activist and officer of the ADL prior to his election to head B'nai B'rith.
And that's not correct, folks. I'm reading from a report. It is now Abe Foxman.
Of the current 151 active National Commission members, a smaller core group directs the overall activities of the ADL's staff through participation in Standing Committees of the National Committee.
The Standing Committees are organized in precise parallel to the ADL's staff divisions and departments, thus permitting the maximum flow of marching orders and other inputs from the National Commission into the day-to-day activities of the League's paid employees. In this sense, Edgar Bronfman, and other leading National Commissioners, run the ADL.
Standing Committee Chairmen of the ADL who, together with their committee members, are appointed by the National Chairman, include:
Howard P. Berkowitz , Planning; Donald R. Mintz, Civil Rights; Michael Knockman , Community Services; Sherwin Newer , Budget; Melvin I. Salberg, Communications; Michael E. Schultz, Administration; Joel Spraerigen and Lucille Kantor, International Affairs; David H. Strassler , Intergroup Relations; Robert G. Sugarman, Leadership; and William Vefren , Development.
These committees, ladies and gentlemen, correspond to the divisions of the ADL's full-time staff. And the divisions include the following:
Administration: concerned with the ADL's internal affairs, it was directed by Philip Seamus , who had previously been Comptroller for the American Jewish Committee.
Civil Rights: is a division that works through departments on Fact-Finding, Research, and Evaluation.
Legal Affairs: a Washington, D.C. office where a task force on Nazi war criminals is based, and four regional area coordinators.
Community Service: this division directs the 31 regional offices throughout the United States, whose directors work closely with regional boards appointed by the National Committee.
Communications: handles public relations and the production of material. Until January 1990, its director was Lynn Ianniello.
Development: it oversees the fund-raising activities of the ADL Appeal.
Intergroup Relations: is made up of departments on Education, Higher Education, Campus Affairs, Interfaith Affairs, Television, Radio, and Film Publications and an International Center for Holocaust Studies.
International Affairs: compromises departments in the United States concerned with European, Latin American, and Middle Eastern affairs--
and yes, I meant "compromises"--
and is in charge of ADL's overseas operations, including the offices in Paris, Rome, and Jerusalem.
Leadership: recruits potential future leaders and coordinates an ADL national leadership conference.
The ADL, ladies and gentlemen, has over 300 people who hold leadership or honorary leadership positions. Among this list are a number of Honorary Vice Chairmen who are closely linked to the ADL, but who, for various reasons, including government service, cannot serve as active officers.
This group includes:
Senators:
Rudy Bauschwitz , Republican, Minnesota; and Howard Metzenbaum, Democrat, Ohio;
former Carter administration Secretary of Commerce: Philip Klutznick;
former Reagan Administration Arms Control negotiator: Max Kampelman; and
former Senator: Abraham Rubikoff , Democrat, Connecticut; and
Representative: Sidney Yates, Democrat, Illinois.
World Jewish Congress President, Edgar Bronfman, is also an Honorary Vice Chairman, along with two other major crime figures from the old Meyer Lansky orbit:
bankers:
Leonard Abess ; and Theodore Silbert .
With the exception of members of Congress, all of those that I just read off are Honorary Vice Chairmen, and were at one time active National Commission members.
Among the active corps of ADL operatives are:
Burton S. Levinson :
ADL National Chairman since 1987. And his work with ADL dates back to 1950 when, as a student at Los Angeles City College, he infiltrated a group affiliated with Gerald L. K. Smith. Now, he is a senior partner in the Beverly Hills-based law firm of Levinson and Liebermann.
Abraham H. Foxman:
who is now the head, the ADL National Director since 1987. He has worked on the staff of the ADL since 1965. He was born in Baronowicz , Poland in 1940. Foxman is one of the most mysterious figures in the ADL leadership. United States intelligence sources, and even some top-ranking ADL members, reportedly suspect Foxman may be a Soviet illegal, a long-term penetration agent, operating without any links to the official Soviet diplomatic corps.
Arnold Forster :
was Associate Director of the ADL under Ben Epstein since 1946, and is now a member of the National Committee and ADL General Counsel. He has been of counsel with the New York law firm of Shay and Gould , a firm intimately tied to the late-mob lawyer, Roy Cohn.
Kenneth J. Bailken :
this former ADL National Chairman from 1982 to 1986 is today an Honorary Chairman, a National Committee member, as well as President of the ADL Foundation.
Theodore H. Silbert:
an Honorary Vice Chairman. He works with Edgar Bronfman and the lucrative Greater New York Appeal for the ADL. Silbert is Chairman of the Sterling National Bank.
Burton M. Joseph:
ADL National Chairman from 1976 to 1978, is today an Honorary Chairman. His family runs the Minnesota-based agricultural products firm, I. S. Joseph. After World War II, Joseph teamed up politically with liberal Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey, through whom he became friends of Max M. Kampelman, now ADL Honorary Vice Chairman, and ADL top funder, Dwayne Andreas. Together, they form the Indianapolis ADL mafia.
Edgar Bronfman:
ADL Honorary National Chairman and head of its Greater New York Appeal.
Irwin Sewell:
since 1966, he is head of the Fact-Finding Department of the ADL's Civil Rights Division.
Meyer Eisenberg :
ADL Vice Chairman, and former head of the National Commission's Civil Rights Committee, with oversight over the Fact-Finding and Legal Departments. He served from 1959 to 1970 as an attorney with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, attaining the position of Deputy General Counsel of the SEC before his retirement from government. In private law practice with a string of Washington, D.C. area law firms, Eisenberg remains one of the nation's experts on securities law.
It was no public relations gaff when in 1985 the Anti-Defamation League gave its "Torch of Liberty Award" to gangster Morris Delitz , founder of the notorious Purple Gang and long-time crime partner of the late-mobster, Meyer Lansky.
The present leadership of the ADL is dominated by figures with long standing ties to organized crime, particularly to the international drug money laundering apparatus. Foremost among these contaminated ADL officials is Kenneth Bailken, the ex-National Chairman who is still an Honorary National Chairman, and a director of the ADL Foundation.
While with the New York law firm of Wilkie, Farr, and Gallagher throughout the 1970s, Bailken masterminded Robert Vesco's looting of Investors Overseas Service (IOS) of more than $60 million.
Vesco, the fugitive financier, now living in Havana, Cuba, was an early partner of Medellin Cartel dope smuggler, Carlos Ledder Rivas , helping Ledder to set up his marijuana and cocaine smuggling routes through the Bahamas.
On April 17th, 1989, Robert Vesco was again indicted by a federal grand jury in Jacksonville, Florida which charged him with involvement in a Medellin cartel cocaine smuggling conspiracy from 1974 to 1989.
In January 1980, a jury in the U.S. Southern District of New York, ordered Wilkie, Farr and Gallagher to pay $35 million to victims of the IOS looting, and found that Bailken had been instrumental in structuring the money laundering and theft scheme at every level.
Law enforcement officials believe that IOS was one of the early conduits for billions of dollars in drug profits, and was a cash repository used by Meyer Lansky.
Recently, Bailken left Wilkie, Farr to join the country's largest firm--Scadden Arps . In much the same way that Wilkie, Farr pioneered the elaborate off-shore money laundering schemes that today constitute the blood stream of the international drug trade, Scadden Arps pioneered the junk bond and leveraged buy-out schemes through which billions of dollars in dubious off-shore money had been repatriated through hostile corporate take-overs and asset-stripping of America's industrial sector.
Two of Scadden Arps' most notorious clients are Drexel Burnham's Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky, both of whom, not coincidentally, have been ADL contributors.
Another ADL National Chairman, Burton Joseph, played a pivotal role in the Robert Vesco take-over and looting of IOS by putting Vesco into contact with his protege, financier Meschulem Rickless of the Rapid American Corporation.
Rickless, according to court records, purchased a controlling block of IOS stock as a surrogate for Vesco. Rickless was later linked to Bailken, Edgar Bronfman, Henry Kissinger, and other Anti-Defamation League figures in a real estate scandal involving the illegal purchase of large tracts in the Israeli occupied territories, and Christian and Muslim sections of Jerusalem.
During Bailken's tenure at Wilkie Farr, the firm also handled pro bono legal work for the Anti-Defamation League, and represented major Anti-Defamation League donor and suspected crime figure, Edmond Safra. Bailken represented Safra in the Syrian banker's take-over of American Express, a transaction that ended years later in a fiasco with American Express officials accusing Safra of money laundering.
On January 3rd, 1989, officials of the United States Customs Service and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration in Bern, Switzerland, identified Edmond Safra as a major figure in an international drug money laundering scheme involving the Shikarki Trading Company. The government reports identified Safra as a lifetime friend and business associate of Muhammad Shikarki; and identified numbered accounts at Safra's New York City Republic National Bank as pass-through accounts for drug profits from Syrian, Lebanese, Bulgarian, and Colombian trafficking organizations.
Now, according to aids to Safra, he arranged that the ADL receive $1 million from money he won in a lawsuit in 1989.
There is one financial institution that is more closely linked to the ADL than any other: Sterling National Bank of New York City. On January 29th, 1982, Italian authorities filed civil suit against Sterling National Bank and other U.S. financial institutions on behalf of depositors in Banca Privata Italiana, charging that $27 million had been looted.
The Chairman of Sterling, both at the time of the alleged theft and today, is Theodore H. Silbert, another Honorary Vice Chairman of the ADL and the former head of the ADL Appeal, its major fund-raising arm. Law enforcement sources have identified Sterling National as a mob front since its founding in 1929 by Meyer Lansky--by Meyer Lansky. Associate Frank Erickson ....
Do you understand what I'm saying, folks? These people are solidly and completely linked to organized crime.
Meyer Lansky's associate, Frank Erickson, founded Sterling National as a mob front. Sterling National was also implicated in a tax evasion scheme in the early 1980s through another ADL-linked bank director, Arnold Burns, a Reagan-era U.S. Deputy Attorney General.
Burns' law firm, Burns and Summit , apparently set up a string of Caribbean tax shelters which shielded millions of dollars in taxable income through non-existent R & D investments in Israel.
Former Reagan official, Ambassador to Italy, Maxwell Robb , is another long-standing Sterling National Director. Robb was a one-time business partner of Meyer Lansky in the International Airport Hotel Corporation.
Yet another mob-linked banker who sits on the ADL's National Commission, and is listed in the League's most recent "Purpose and Program" as an Honorary Vice Chairman is Leonard Abess of the City National Bank of Miami. in 1981, Abess brought Colombian cartel money launderer Alberto Duke into the bank's board, where he remained until he was jailed on money laundering charges in 1986.
The following year, Donald Beazley was named City National's Chairman. Beazley was the former director of the Nuegen Hand Bank, believed to have been a major laundering conduit for Southeast Asian heroin proceeds, as well as black funds derived from the illicit arms trafficking of Theodore G. Shackley , and other former top Central Intelligence Agency officials later implicated in the Iran-Contra scandal.
And I wrote about the Nuegen Hand Bank in my book five years ago.
A listing of ADL financial contributors and award recipients over the recent decades reads like a "Who's Who" of the Meyer Lansky international crime syndicate. Long-time Lansky cronies such as Victor Posner, Hollywood attorney, Sidney Korshak and Mo Delitz all appear as ADL patrons.
The same pattern holds true at the regional levels of the ADL. For example, Phil Baskin, a Pittsburgh attorney and Democratic Party fixer, known to be the chief operator of the ADL in western Pennsylvania, was forced to resign as the senior partner in his law firm after being implicated in an effort to deliver a major airport construction contract to a top figure in the New York City Gambino family, Nicky Sands .
Further south, Paul Lipkin , the Chairman of the Virginia Regional Board of the ADL, was for decades the personal attorney for Arthur "Bootsie" Goldstein, the biggest pornography distributor in Norfolk. Goldstein was arrested 85 times and served three jail terms for crimes including selling glue to minors and peddling sex paraphernalia.
No discussion of the ADL's ties to organized crime and the drug apparatus would be complete without reference to Edgar Bronfman, ADL Honorary Vice Chairman and Chief of its New York Appeal.
Today, touted as a leading international business man, philanthropist, and Chairman of the prestigious World Jewish Congress, Bronfman has been unable to erase the taint left by the fact that his entire family fortune, Seagrams Corporation, its majority share in E. I. DuPont, DeNumois Company, etc., derived from his father's prohibition era bootlegging activities. Known at the time as the Bronfman Gang, the Canadian Bronfmans were the main illegal suppliers to America's crime syndicate known as Murder, Incorporated.
By no later than 1920, when Edgar's father, Sam Bronfman, and Arnold Rothstein, agent Jacob Katzenberg were dispatched to Hong Kong to arrange opium supplies, the bootlegging routes were also utilized for the smuggling and retail distribution of illegal drugs.
To this day, elements of the Bronfman family remain tied to the gutter levels of organized crime, while Edgar and his brother and cousins have managed to wrap themselves in a somewhat ragged cloak of respectability.
Edgar's nephew, Mitchell Bronfman, was named in a 1972 Montreal Crime Commission report as an intimate of local crime boss, Willie O'Bront . Their relationship extends into illegal activities in which they have mutually or jointly indulged, the special kinds of favors they did for each other, and the resulting advantages of each in the fields of loan sharking, gambling, illegal betting, securities, tax evasion, and corruption.
Taken directly from a book entitled "The Bronfman Dynasty" by Peter C. Newman
O'Bront and another Mitchell Bronfman crime partner, Sidney Rosen were both jailed in the mid-1970s for drug money laundering and related crimes when, in 1978, the links of the Bronfman family to organized crime were published in the book-length study of the international illegal drug trade, entitled "Dope, Incorporated".
I advise all of you, everyone listening, purchase the book entitled "Dope, Incorporated". That is, "Dope, Incorporated".
Bronfman, according to Quebec police sources, ordered his attorneys to prepare a multi-million dollar libel suit, but after careful deliberation, the attorneys strongly argued against such an action. Instead, Bronfman reportedly poured large amounts of money into the Anti-Defamation League.
Almost immediately, the Anti-Defamation League began a shrill publicity and dirty tricks campaign slandering LaRouche as an anti-semite and demanding his elimination. They eventually framed him and sent him to jail.
He is free now. He has been released. He has documented his frame-up. The facts say that Lyndon LaRouche, no matter what you think of his politics, was innocent. He was put away because he did what I'm doing tonight. He told the truth about the ADL.
In its March/April 1990 edition, the West German magazine, "Semite", self-described as "the independent Jewish magazine", published a blistering expose of ADL Honorary Vice Chairman Edgar Bronfman's dealing with the now-toppled regime of East German communist dictator, Erich Honecker. The article by Jacob Dachauer , entitled "A Whiskey for the Holocaust", documents how Bronfman used his post as President of the World Jewish Congress to make deals with the Honecker regime on behalf of his Seagrams liquor empire, and is accompanied by a picture of Bronfman receiving the highest state medal of People's Friendship in Gold from Honecker in October of 1988.
The essence of the "Semite" expose is that Bronfman used his credentials as head of the once-respected World Jewish Congress to absolve the German Democratic Republic of any responsibility for the war-time holocaust in return for a series of lucrative concessions to market his whiskey in the German communist paradise.
If you're a Jewish patriot, I hope you were listening to that.
As the "Executive Intelligence Review" has reported, Bronfman's courtship of the Honecker regime began in 1986 when an associate of his traveled to East Berlin to meet with Klaus Geise , the communist regime's Secretary of State for Religious Affairs.
Klaus Geise's son is Gregor Geise , the reformer successor to Honecker as Chief of the S.E.D. Communist Party, now called the P.D.S.
In subsequent trips, Bronfman met with Honecker and S.E.D. Central Committee member Hermann Axen . During one visit in 1988, Bronfman pledged that he would personally arrange a state visit to Washington, D.C. by Honecker by 1990 at the latest. Subsequent events, of course, made that impossible.
Edgar's brother and business partner, Charles Bronfman of Montreal, became a prominent figure in Canadian East German friendship groups and had veto power over all G.D.R. visas issued to Canadians until the collapse of the communist regime in November 1989.
These extensive G.D.R. links have led some intelligence analysts to conclude that Edgar and Charles Bronfman have especially close ties to General Markus Wolf, the head of the East German STASI. That's the East German Intelligence Service, and also to a leading protege of the late KGB and Soviet Communist Party boss, Yuri Andropov.
Edgar Bronfman enjoys equally close ties to the regime in Moscow, and those links have grown even firmer since the accession to power of Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985.
According to sources familiar with Bronfman's Russian links, the Canadian whiskey baron has been a long-time associate of Alexander Yakovlev, the former Soviet Ambassador in Ottawa, who was one of Gorbachev's closest advisors. Gorbachev is now in San Francisco at the Presidio trying to bring about the one-world government. Yakovlev sits on both the Politburo and the newly-formed Presidential Council.
In scores of speeches and commentaries written since Gorbachev rose to power, Bronfman has called upon the United States to grant the Soviet Union most-favored-nation status, membership in GATT, and access to the most advanced western technologies.
In a press release issued by his office on March 22nd, 1989, for example, Bronfman hailed Gorbachev for overturning socialism in one country, declaring:
"It is in United States interest to prevent even a partial reversal of Perestroika."
Bronfman is a board member of the United States Soviet Trade and Economic Cooperation Council, called USSTECC, a collection of American "Fortune 500" executives and Soviet trade officials actively pushing expanded trade between the two super-powers.
According to a United States State Department document, the Soviet delegation to USSTECC is known by the CIA to be dominated by KGB and GRU--which most of you don't know about: it is the Soviet military intelligence--operatives. Up until recently, the Soviet Co-chairman of the group was KGB General Yvgeni Petrovich Petrovenov , a long-time Stalin ally, who survived the post-Stalin shifts and became the head of the Soviet Chamber of Commerce.
On January 23rd, 1989, syndicated columnists Evans and Novak reported on a secret meeting at Edgar Bronfman's New York City apartment, which also involved USSTECC officials Dwayne Andreas and James Giffen, together with Morris Abrams and Simek Denitz ?>. The group reportedly hatched plans to mobilize Zionist lobby support for the repeal of the Jackson-Vanneck Amendment, in exchange for unrestricted Soviet Jewish immigration to Israel.
The genesis of that scheme dates back to January 1985 when Edgar Bronfman, at the Governing Board meeting of the World Jewish Congress in Vienna, proposed that the organization oppose the Reagan administration's Strategic Defense Initiative on Jewish grounds.
When Bronfman also announced in April of that same year that he would lead the World Jewish Congress in an effort to prevent President Reagan from visiting a German cemetery at Bittburg during his state visit to the Federal Republic, Moscow reciprocated by inviting him to the Soviet Union in his official capacity as World Jewish Congress Chairman. The invitation, extended by Russian Federation Justice Minister, Alexander Sukarev , specifically proposed to discuss Soviet Jewish immigration.
In similar gestures of support for Gorbachev, Bronfman has taken the point in forcing the resignation of the head of the West German Parliament, Philip Geninger , for a speech delivered in November 1988 on the 50th anniversary of Nazi's "Night of the Broken Glass" anti-Jewish pogrom.
In addition, at a widely-publicized press conference in Budapest, Hungary, on May 4th, 1987, Bronfman branded Austrian President Kurt Waldheim an essential component of the Nazi killing machine.
Now, the charges against Waldheim were based largely on Soviet-forged documents and perjured testimony, and were part of a major destabilization of Austria and the Vatican. No wonder Bronfman became a frequent commuter between New York and Moscow.
You see, weeks after Bronfman's secret New York City planning session on February 11th, 1989, Edgar Bronfman led the largest delegation of Jewish leaders to ever visit Moscow.
On December 13th, 1989, Bronfman was back in Moscow again, this time heading a delegation of 100 western Jewish leaders to attend the opening of a Jewish cultural center.
One week later, Kenneth Jacobson, the International Affairs Director of the ADL, announced that an ADL delegation would also visit Moscow in early 1990 to pursue President Gorbachev's offer to open an office in the Soviet capitol.
Next to Edgar Bronfman, Minneapolis grain merchant Dwayne Andreas, who participated in the Bronfman apartment meeting in which the "Jews For Grain" plot was activated, is the ADL patron most responsible for the deep ties between the League and the Russian regime.
Although Andreas is not Jewish, he is one of the ADL's most generous donors. At a critical point in the late 1970s, when the ADL was financially on the skids, Andreas, at the request of ADL National Chairman, Burton Joseph, of the Minneapolis agricultural equipment firm, I. E. Joseph, put up the seed money to establish the Anti-Defamation League Foundation.
Andreas's relations with the ADL date back to his early political training by ADL National Chairman, Ben Epstein, a relationship that Andreas described during Congressional testimony in 1987 as, quote:
"Mr. Ben Epstein, may he rest in peace, who was my friend for 20 years, to his everlasting credit was my mentor and guidance on the matters of diplomatic positions. I worked with him for weeks on this problem of how to expand trade with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics."
End quote. The September 26th, 1986 "Wall Street Journal", in a front page piece, titled "Gorbachev's Pal: Dwayne Andreas Gains a Position as the Kremlin's Apparent Favorite", identified Andreas as the successor to Occidental Petroleum's Chairman Armand Hammer, now 91, as the Soviet regime's favorite capitalist.
Actually, Armand Hammer is no longer with us, ladies and gentlemen, and has been exposed as a raging communist.
It was apparently Andreas, who has had more private audiences with Gorbachev than any other westerner, who arranged the invitation for the ADL to set up shop in Moscow, ostensibly in order to help combat anti-semitism inside Russia.
A former State Department Intelligence Officer told the "Executive Intelligence Review" that the real purpose of establishing the ADL office in Moscow was to improve the Anti-Defamation League coordination with the KGB in running pro-Gorbachev propaganda inside the United States.
Another feature of the ADL's current go-east push is the effort by Bronfman and others to move in on the lucrative new markets in the liberated nations of central Europe on behalf of organized crime.
For instance, the Canadian real estate billionaires, the Reichmann brothers, represented by the ADL-linked law firm of Shay Gould and the ADL-linked investment house of Bier Sterns , are part of a new investment consortium seeking to establish a major financial hub in Budapest with the blessings of both Gorbachev's regime and the United States State Department.
ADL links to the Bolshevik regime and its intelligence services date back literally decades. Even during World War II, when the Soviet Union and the United States were allied against the Nazis, certain ADL officials were kept on United States military intelligence watch lists as suspected Soviet agents. According to one eye-witness account, Sanford Griffith, who headed the equivalent of the Fact-Finding Division during and immediately following World War II, was on such a list.
And if you'll remember, the ADL was caught spying not too long ago on American citizens, American groups, and even Jews.
The April 5th, 1955 issue of "Headlines and What's Behind Them", catalogues a controversial instance in which the ADL provided cover for a known Soviet intelligence agent.
The Soviet agent in question, Vladimir Stepankowski , had been deported from France and Switzerland in the mid-1930s after having been identified as the head of the Bolshevik Information Bureau, only to migrate to the United States and immediately go to work for the Anti-Defamation League's Mitchell Solomon.
Through Solomon's ties to United States Army Lieutenant Colonel Eugene Prince, an intelligence officer in charge of immigration background checks, Stepankowski was able to penetrate American war-time intelligence operations.
In 1954, he was identified by Elizabeth Bentley as a member of a Soviet spy ring. However, he was saved from prosecution through the intervention of his Anti-Defamation League case officer, Mitchell Solomon.
By this point, the ADL had deployed the Soviet agent into the National Renaissance Party of Robert Madal , a Neo-Nazi counter gang that had been set up largely by the Anti-Defamation League infiltrators, in order to create the specter of a new fascist menace inside the United States in order to control Jews and keep them in line.
According to the "Headlines" account, the Madal group attracted a small corps of members, principally on the basis of the Anti-Defamation League providing NRP founder Madal with a stable of prostitutes from the Mickey Jelkie vice ring. Anti-Defamation League officials Ben Epstein and Arnold Forster then reportedly used Stepankowski's information to inundate the Veld Commission--that's the House Activities Commission--with scare stories that the NRP had swelled to 200 to 700 members in New York City alone.
THE HOUR OF THE TIME
ADL #4
THE HOUR OF THE TIME
Tape No. 386 "ADL #4"
June 29, 1994
This broadcast was taken in whole or in part from investigations conducted by the CAJI News Service, and the Intelligence Service, and from reports published by The Executive Intelligence Review entitled "The Ugly Truth About The ADL", and "Dope Inc.".
In December 1985, then-FBI Director William Webster, speaking at the
National Press Club in Washington, D.C., admitted that a Jewish
underground had emerged as a serious threat to the United States during
the preceding twelve months.
Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, he was partially right. For, over the
course of 1985, the Jewish Defense League, known as the JDL, had been
responsible for a string of sophisticated bombings that left two people
dead, a dozen others seriously wounded, and caused millions of dollars
in property damage.
Alex Oda , the head of the California branch of the Arab-American
Anti-Discrimination Committee, or AADC, had been killed when a bomb went
off at the group's Santa Ana office. Seven other people had been
hospitalized in the attack.
Shirem Subzukoff , a victim of the Justice Department's
Nazi-hunting Office of Special Investigations, or OSI, had also died
when a booby-trap bomb blew up in his home in Patterson, New Jersey.
A Boston police officer, responding to a JDL bomb threat at the local
office of AADC, was crippled for life when a pipe bomb blew up as he was
attempting to defuse it.
Jewish underground? No.
Another terrorist arm of B'nai B'rith and the ADL, the Anti-Defamation
League? Absolutely yes.
All controlled from the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
In each of these instances, the bomb attacks had been preceded by noisy
public demonstrations and inflammatory press statements by Mordechai
Levy , the leader of a JDL splinter group, the Jewish Defense
Organization, or JDO.
Although FBI boss Webster left his National Press Club audience with the
impression that the so-called Jewish underground was a mysterious and
amorphous outfit about which the FBI had little information, in truth,
the Bureau had an exhaustive profile of all of the key personnel and
their mode of operation.
FBI agents on the scene of the Santa Ana, California murder of Alex Oda
knew the identities of the three men who planted the bomb before Oda's
body was even removed from the murder scene.
You never knew any of this, did you?
The killers were long-time Jewish Defense League members Andy Green,
Keith Fuchs , and Bob Manning. The American-born trio were
residents of an Israeli kibbutz in the occupied territories called
"Kiriat Arba" . Kiriat Arba was a training camp and safe-house for
the JDL and its Israeli affiliate, the Kach Party.
The FBI, ladies and gentlemen, listed Fuchs, Green, and Manning as
suspects in a total of 25 terrorist attacks inside the United States.
But you see, most of you sheeple never even knew that there had been
terrorist attacks inside the United States until a bomb went off in the
World Trade Center in New York City. And then you knew about it only
because it furthered the cause of world-wide Zionism, and it was blamed
upon a group of Arabs who had direct ties to the Central Intelligence
Agency.
Fuchs had been jailed in Israel in 1983 for firing a Soviet-made AK-47
rifle at a busload of Arabs on the West Bank. Manning had served time
in jail in the United States for bombing the home of an Arab-American
activist.
When the three JDL-ers arrived in Los Angeles several days before the
Oda murder, they were already under FBI surveillance. But as so often
happens with the FBI, they didn't prevent anything.
It's no wonder that FBI Director Webster was not anxious to discuss
details with the room full of reporters at the National Press Club for,
unlike this reporter on "The Hour of the Time", he was afraid. The
Bureau had been in a position to prevent the bombing of the Santa Ana
AADC Office. And as they have in many, many instances, they either
flubbed it, or allowed it to happen, because it furthered their own
aims. Or worse.
At the same time that the Jewish underground was conducting its bombing
spree from coast to coast, the FBI was relying increasingly on the ADL
for information about extremist groups inside the United States of
America. This was the same ADL that would join with the KGB--the
KGB--and the East German Stasse in covering the trail of the
assassins of Sweden's Head of State, Olaf Palm , which we'll
cover. You can bet your boots we'll cover it.
Even more to the point, this was the same ADL that was instrumental in
the creation and deployment of such diverse terrorist groups as the JDL
and, yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Ku Klux Klan. For how can they keep
the Jews together in their own created ghettos, to further the political
aims of international socialism--also known as Zionism--if they don't
present the Jews with a common enemy: all the rest of us?--under the
guise of the Ku Klux Klan, the skinheads, the White Aryan Nation,
anti-semitism.
Oh, yes. You're going to learn things tonight you never dreamed were
happening in this country, the land of the free and the home of the
brave. It turns out to be the Liars Club.
According to Robert Friedman , the biographer of JDL Founder Rabbi
Mier Kahani , the militant Jewish group was controlled from its
founding days by a secret three-person committee made up of future
Israeli Prime Minister and Mossad Operations Chief Itsak Shmir and
Israeli Parliamentarian Gala Cohen , and Brooklyn ADL Chairman,
Bernard Duch , whom we've already discussed on earlier programs.
It was at a December 1969 meeting between Cohen and Kahani, arranged by
Duch, that the JDL launched its campaign of terror and intimidation
against Soviet diplomats in New York and Washington, aimed at forcing
the Soviets to loosen up their immigration laws for Jews.
In the early days before JDL-head Kahani hooked up with mobster Joe
Columbo and many JDL-ers began funding their terrorist operations
by selling dope, or running syndicate shake-down operations, or
performing hits through their Murder, Inc. branch, ADL man Duch had been
the money bags behind the Jewish militants. Duch's involvement with the
JDL was such a well-kept secret that his Kahani-links remained virtually
unknown until 1991.
Just as the secret society, the branch of the Illuminati known as B'nai
B'rith had quietly steered other Jewish American groups to smuggle arms
into Russia on the eve of the Bolshevik revolution, the ADL ran the
Jewish underground from behind the scenes, often going through the
motions of publicly denouncing the JDL violence, to make sure that no
direct links were ever surfaced.
And these Jews were used the same as Ollie North was used--by making
them think that they were performing acts of patriotism, to protect the
Jewish community as a whole, to further the security of the State of
Israel.
Well, I want to ask you if you are a Jew and you're listening to this
broadcast: if you put the State of Israel above the United States of
America, go to Israel, and stay there. Live there. Fight there. And
if you have to, die there. Make your dream come true there.
This is the United States of America. And if you're an American, I
don't care what else you call yourself, you owe your allegiance to
America, to the Constitution, and to the Bill of Rights.
You see, you're being used to help this great nation--the only nation in
your history that gave you sustenance, gave you protection, allowed you
to prosper. You look around and you see anti-semitism everywhere where
it is not. It does not exist here. Except within less than 1/1000th of
one percent of the population, it is negligible. But if you continue in
the path that you are going, you will create a wave of anti-semitism
that will destroy you.
Mordechai Levy, the leader of the JDL splinter group that managed to
show up on the doorsteps of Alex Oda and Shirem Subzukoff on the eves of
their assassinations, maintained direct and frequent contact with the
ADL's Fact-Finding Division Head, Irwin Sewell.
Just two weeks before the AADC's Washington, D.C. office was blown up on
November 29th, 1985, Levy had appeared as the featured speaker at a
press conference hosted by the Federation of Jewish Organizations of
Greater Washington, an umbrella group led by both the ADL and B'nai
B'rith, to present a list of enemies of the Jewish people. AADC was
among the groups listed.
On more than one occasion, Levy's provocateur antics nearly exposed the
ADL's hand in fomenting domestic violence, ladies and gentlemen.
And here's the truth of how these people operate. And here's the truth
of anti-semitism in America. And here's the truth of swastikas painted
on synagogues and on the headstones in Jewish cemeteries. This is the
truth, and you'd just better listen, and you'd better stop being afraid
of these people. And you'd better stop being afraid of being called
anti-semitic. And you'd better, you'd better point to these traitors,
and these terrorists, and these scum, and call them what they are.
On February the 16th, 1979, Levy, using the pseudonym, James Gutman,
filed an application with the United States Park Service in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to obtain permission to hold a rally.
Now remember, this is Levy using the pseudonym James Gutman--a German
name. I wonder why he did that? Well, you're going to find out.
The rally permit, sought by Levy--Levy: a member of the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, supposedly existing for the protection of Jews; the rally permit sought by Levy, also known as Gutman on this occasion--was not filed in the name of the JDL, which he was also a member of. Levy was posing as a leader of the American Nazi Party.
Levy was posing as a leader of the American Nazi Party!--seeking a
permit for a Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Party rally at Independence Hall, the
site of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Remember, I told you about the Hegelian Method of Political Conflict
Resolution?
Remember, I told you there is no such thing as a Patriot Community?
Remember, I told you that these people who are bringing about the New
World Order control both sides of every issue, indeed they create the issues!!!
According to the rally permit, Levy was planning a white power rally to
show white masses unity of white race, and to show the world niggers and
Jews are cowards. Among the paraphernalia Levy listed on the
application were:
"...swastikas, banners, Nazi uniforms, KKK paraphernalia, 'will burn
cross', swastika picket signs saying: 'Hitler was Right! Gas Commie Jews!'"
Verbatim quote.
Working out of the Philadelphia offices of the Jewish Defense League,
Levy organized local chapters of the KKK--the Ku Klux Klan--and Neo-Nazi
groups to attend the Independence Hall rally, and these racist
fools--not knowing that he was a Jewish member of the ADL and the
JDL--fell right into line and did his bidding, like the little puppet
jerks that they are.
In the case of the Trenton, New Jersey Ku Klux Klan, Levy had an inside
track. Listen to this: James Rosenberg --also known as Jimmy
Mitchell and Jimmy Anderson, a full-time, paid employee of the
Anti-Defamation League Fact-Finding Division--had successfully
infiltrated the local chapter of the Klan. Rosenberg had recently
attempted unsuccessfully to get some of the local KKK-ers to blow up the
Trenton headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, NAACP.
At the same time he was posing as James Gutman, Neo-Nazi, Levy was also
mobilizing the Jewish community and every rag-tag, left-wing, socialist
Nazi--and that's exactly what they are, for Nazis are really left-wing,
ladies and gentlemen--radical group in the greater Philadelphia area to
attend a mass demonstration to confront the Ku Klux Klan and Nazis at
Independence Hall.
You see, if they all really knew the definition of these terms that they
banter about, they'd join forces and they'd be a lot stronger.
[chuckle] Oh, the world is full of fools. I sit back and I watch all
of this, and I alternately laugh and cry, laugh and cry.
All the ingredients, ladies and gentlemen, were there for a serious,
very serious, riot--a riot brought about in its entirety by the
Anti-Defamation League and the Jewish Defense League, organizing and
manipulating both sides, filing for the permit, urging violence,
attempting to get people to blow up a bridge.
But fortunately, ladies and gentlemen, this was one time, one time that
word of Levy's scam on the Park Service leaked out to the Philadelphia
Press.
After one Philadelphia newspaper ran a banner headline saying, quote:
"Nazi Rally Rouser Really Jewish"
end quote--and you can check on it yourself, by the way--the Park
Service yanked the permit.
Levy's Anti-Defamation League handlers ordered him to lay low for a
while. I wonder why? After all, there was no need to jeopardize Levy
or even Rosenberg's standing as professional agents provocateur inside
the racist element of the 1/1000th of one percent of the population of
this country who aren't even half as dangerous as these ADL/JDL
terrorist agents of a foreign nation, spying on American people, blowing
up organizations and offices, and killing and maiming people in the
United States of America. None of you even knew about it.
The ADL, of course, had plenty of other aces up their sleeves, and not
all of them were Jewish infiltrators.
And remember, the ADL, the JDL and B'nai B'rith are not the Jews. It is a branch--the Jewish branch--of the ages-old
Illuminati, controlled by the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. And out of
all the Jews in this country, only a handful belong.
One of the most shocking instances of racist violence during the civil
rights battles in the south of the United States during the 1960s was
the execution-style murders of three civil rights workers in
Philadelphia, Mississippi in 1964. And now, you're going to hear what
really happened.
The murders of Andrew Goodman, Robert Chaney, and Mitchell Schwerner
sent shock waves across America and the world, as many people
began to realize for the first time that the Confederacy, far from being
dead, was very much alive and very much committed to rolling back the
tide of equal rights for all races, at least in the deep south.
True to its historical roots in the Southern Jurisdiction of the
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, and in the original Confederate
secessionist plot, the Anti-Defamation League, contrary to its own
published propaganda--and that's exactly what it is, propaganda--lined
up squarely with the Klan, the Ku Klux Klan, where it counted the most:
with its checkbook.
One particularly sordid instance of collusion between the
Anti-Defamation League and the Ku Klux Klan came to light in a hail of
bullets on the night of June 30th, 1968 in Meridian, Mississippi,
outside the home of ADL official, Myer Davidson .
When the smoke cleared, a local school teacher named Kathy Ainsworth
lay dead, and a second man, Thomas A. Terrence III lay dying
after being hit with 70 bullets--70 bullets, ladies and gentlemen--fired
by 22 local police and FBI agents.
Shades of Waco!
Miraculously, Terrence survived the attack. Terrence and Ainsworth,
both local Ku Klux Klan members, had been set up. They went to
Davidson's home, that night to plant a bomb on his
door step, not knowing that the leader of their own Ku Klux Klan chapter
had betrayed them, and that a small army of police and FBI
sharp-shooters was waiting in the bushes to ambush them.
The entire affair, had been staged by the
Anti-Defamation League. That's right. The entire affair had been
staged by the Anti-Defamation League.
The agent provocateur inside the local Ku Klux Klan Chapter who set up
Terrence and Ainsworth was one of the killers of Goodman, Chaney, and
Schwerner.
Alton Wayne Roberts was out on bail awaiting his trial, along with
six other members of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, for the
Philadelphia, Mississippi murders, when in the early spring of 1968 he
cut a deal with the Anti-Defamation League's Regional Director, Adolf Botnick .
The New Orleans-based Botnick had been a long-standing friend of the
late Guy Banister. Guy Bannister--Kennedy assassination--the former FBI
Special Agent implicated by District Attorney Jim Garrison in the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Botnick, with the blessings of Meridian-based FBI Special Agent Frank
Watts and Meridian Police Detective Luke Scarborough , agreed to
pay Alton Wayne Roberts and his brother, Raymond Roberts, $69,000 to
become the League's paid agents provocateur. Twenty-five thousand
dollars in unmarked twenty-dollar bills was hand-delivered from New
Orleans to the Roberts brothers just days before the Ainsworth/Terrence
ambush.
At the time the deal was struck, the White Knights, led by the two
Roberts brothers, had been on a nine-month bombing spree--nine-month
bombing spree. The brothers were prime suspects in ten separate acts of
racist violence. In addition to the Philadelphia murders, three of
these attacks were directed against synagogues and Jewish leaders in
Mississippi.
Do you understand, folks, it's not the Jews! The Jews are being lied to.
They're being manipulated just like all of you. Are you
beginning to understand how it works?
Three of these attacks were directed against synagogues and Jewish
leaders in Mississippi. And they huddled in their little self-made
ghettos, and pointed their fingers at the community--had nothing to do
with it--and yelled, "Anti-semitism! The Nazis are coming to get us!"
And you're so proud of your level of education. You should be ashamed
of yourselves, all of you.
The Roberts brothers, as per their deal with Botnick, ordered two of
their Klan underlings to deliver the bomb to Davidson's home. They then
tipped off the FBI and the local police about the exact time the attack
would occur.
In return for their continuing services to the ADL after the Davidson
incident, the brothers were given slap-on-the-wrist sentences and placed
in the FBI's Witness Protection Program.
And for his part in the Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner murders, Alton
Wayne Roberts spent less than three years in jail, and is again very
active with you-know-who.
The Meridian incident was classic Anti-Defamation League; classic
Hegelian Conflict Method of Political Resolution. The League used the
racist attack against Meyer Davidson as a scare tactic fund-raising
ploy, and the Jews filled their coffers--emptied their pockets--and
asked the same people who had attacked them to protect them, using their
own money.
The money they raised more than covered the costs of buying up the two
KKK-ers as their permanent agents provocateur inside the Klan.
The League parlayed their financing of the Roberts brothers into an
ever-closer relationship with the FBI, which was delighted to have the
ADL finance and deploy two of the Klan's most violent terrorists.
When you begin, to study the Waco massacre, you will find
that David Koresh spent time in Israel, that he and some of his
followers were trained by the JDL in infantry tactics, that he attended
classes on the Talmud, that he was surrounded by Mossad and ADL agents
and JDL personnel.
You will find that original reports from the foreign source quoted in
the first press report, that they were going to commit mass suicide,
came from prominent ADL members in Australia.
You people better wake up, and you'd better do it fast.
"Koresh", in the Hebrew language, means "Cyrus". "David", of course...
the House of David, the famous king of Israel. Cyrus was the one who
freed the Jews from Babylonian captivity. David Koresh flew the star of
David on the flag pole above what was called Mount Carmel. He claimed
that he held the keys to the seven seals in the Book of Revelation.
Poor, brainwashed, mind-controlled, manipulated David Koresh.
On the day in November 1985 that Israel spy, Jonathan J. Pollard
was arrested, things went haywire at the Anti-Defamation League's
headquarters near United Nations Plaza in New York City.
National Chairman Kenneth Bailken immediately flew off to Israel to
assess the damage and to make arrangements for the appropriate American
attorneys to be brought in to represent, not only the jailed spy, but
the other more senior players in the nominally-Israeli spy ring.
Were you aware that the headquarters of B'nai B'rith and the ADL is in
the same building occupied by the Trilateral Commission?
Among the most important of those senior players was Col. Aviam Sella
, an Israeli Air Force war hero, who had been Pollard's recruiter
on behalf of the secret Israeli techno-spy unit--L'Akim .
Sella's cover for his spy recruiting was that he was in the United
States taking graduate courses at New York University. And Sella's
wife, Ruth, a practicing attorney, reportedly was working on the staff
of the ADL's Legal Department while the couple lived in New York.
Any published links between the ADL and the Pollard spy apparatus could
naturally prove very, very damaging, especially in light of the cozy
relationship the League was enjoying with the Reagan White House at the
time.
You see, while still in Israel, Bailken telephoned fellow ADL man
Leonard Garment of the politically powerful law firm of Dickstein Shapiro .
Garment was then the personal lawyer for United States
Attorney General Edwin Meese. He agreed, at Bailken's urging, to
represent Sella in the Pollard matter, despite the obvious severe
conflict of interest.
What an understatement!
At the ADL's Washington office, Myra Lansky-Bolland--Myra
Lansky-Bolland--was also undoubtedly worried that her own links to
Pollard might surface.
Lanksy-Bolland had been a classmate and pal of Pollard at the graduate
school program and national security affairs at the Fletcher School of
Diplomacy of Tufts University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Upon graduation in 1978, both Lansky and Pollard had been immediately
placed into sensitive posts in the United States intelligence
community. Pollard had gone into Naval Intelligence --my old alma
mater--and had almost immediately begun funneling secrets to Israel.
Lansky-Bolland had gone to work for the Central Intelligence Agency, and
after a two-year stint with the CIA, she had transferred to the Pentagon
where she worked under Dr. Andrew Marshall at the Office of Net
Assessments--a little-known but very, very powerful unit that prepared
technical assessments of Soviet military capabilities.
In 1982, Lansky had left the government to work full-time for the ADL in
Washington.
Now, don't even believe that she ever left anything.
Shortly after her arrival at the ADL from the Pentagon, she was assigned
as the case officer on the League's multi-million dollar campaign to
smear and jail Lyndon LaRouche and scores of his associates for naming
the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, B'nai B'rith, and the ADL in the
attempts to destroy the United States of America.
Now, don't get me wrong, folks. I am not for Lyndon LaRouche. He is a
screaming socialist himself, masquerading as a conservative. But
nevertheless, he has brought out a lot of truth about a lot of things,
and he was framed and wrongfully imprisoned--all brought about by the
ADL.
Following the Pollard arrest, Andrew Marshall would be identified,
as a suspected senior member of the Pollard spy ring, although no charges were ever brought against him, and he remains
to this day in his post at the Defense Department.
To this day, Pentagon officials have never succeeded in pinning down the
identity of the Mr. X who gave Pollard the code numbers of the
classified documents that the Naval Intelligence analyst then stole and
passed on to L'Akim.
Both Pollard and Lansky had gotten their government spy jobs courtesy of
Fletcher School Professor Yuri Ra'anahn . Ra'anahn, an Oxford
University-trained Middle East expert, had himself been an Israeli
government intelligence operative of the Mossad, posted in New York City
and Washington during the 1950s and '60s, and also an operative of
British intelligence. He was playing all ends against the middle.
While serving as a press attache at the Israeli embassy in Washington in
the mid-1960s, Ra'anahn had helped set up a unit that would recruit
Israeli spies from the ranks of American businessmen traveling
frequently to the Soviet Union and eastern Europe. That spy unit, which
was unearthed in a series of civil suits beginning in 1967--all on
record, was housed at the headquarters of the B'nai B'rith
International.
Ra'anahn's contact point inside the B'nai B'rith was Phillip Klutznick
, an Honorary National Chairman of the ADL who would later serve as
President Jimmy Carter's Secretary of Commerce.
Among the damage-control efforts launched by the ADL in the wake of the
Pollard arrest was the planting of a string of news accounts and
editorials portraying Pollard as a loyal American who was also committed
to the security of the State of Israel.
No such thing, folks. A loyal American is devoted to the United States
of America. Citizens of the State of Israel are devoted to the State of
Israel, and stupid fools who are allowed to be manipulated, thinking
that they owe allegiance to both.
I have nothing against Israel. But Israel needs to take off its diaper
and stand on its own two feet.
"Harmless, friendly espionage" was the term coined by the League and its
small army of paid-agents inside the news media.
Bullshit!
Unfortunately, Pollard's spying was anything but harmless or friendly.
The L'Akim unit, headed by the former Chief of European Operations for
the Mossad, Raphael "Dirty Raffi" Itan , was passing on the most
sensitive of the American national security secrets heisted by Pollard
to the Soviet KGB. In return, Moscow was opening up the pipeline of
Soviet Jews to Israel.
It was treachery of the highest order.
And then Secretary of Defense Casper Weinburger was fully aware of the magnitude of Pollard's crimes when he asked the judge to sentence Pollard to life in prison after the spy agreed to plead guilty.
He should have been executed.
In a 46-page affidavit submitted to the judge in the Pollard case,
Weinburger showed that much of the Pollard material wound up in Soviet
hands, and that it would cost the United States billions of dollars to
repair the national security damage done by the Pollard spy ring.
The ADL is not a friend of the United States of America.
The JDL is not a friend of the United States of America.
B'nai B'rith is not a friend of the United States of America.
The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is not a friend of the United States of
America.
Israel is not a friend of the United States of America.
In fact, the millions of pages of classified
documents funneled by Pollard to the KGB, a majority were of no critical
interest to Israel at all.
Did Kenneth Bailken, or Myra Lansky-Bolland, or any of the other ADL
officials who abetted Pollard in his spy work know that the pilfered
material was going to the KGB?
The answer to that question has never been made public to this day.
Only the players in the espionage operation know for sure. But I
believe that they knew 100% what was happening and where it was going
every single moment, that they were a part of it.
And remember, folks, they organized it. They put it together, and they
controlled it.
It is unquestionably the case that, at the same time the ADL was
knee-deep in the Pollard stew, top ADL officials were working
hand-in-glove with the Soviet bloc intelligence services on several
other projects that would have devastating consequences for the United
States of America.
You see, the ADL are traitors, murderers, terrorists, and scum. It has
nothing to do with Jews. They use Jews. And they use you because
you're so afraid of being called anti-semitic if you tell the truth
about these conspirators. You quiver just thinking about somebody calling
you anti-semitic.
One such ADL friend of Moscow was whisky baron Edgar Bronfman. Edgar
Bronfman. Remember, we discussed him on an earlier episode of the ADL
expose. The third-generation Bronfmans had successfully transformed
their father's Prohibition Era bootlegging business into a legitimate
whisky empire called Seagrams.
And every time you take a drink of Seagrams, no matter what it is, you
are furthering the goals of B'nai B'rith, the Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry, and the ADL; and you're helping to destroy this country.
Don't drink anything that Seagrams bottles ever.
This transformation, had been aided early on by
the United States Treasury Department, which cut a deal with Sam and Abe
Bronfman in the close of Prohibition, enabling them to pay several
million dollars in back taxes in return for a white-washing of their
decade of big-time crimes.
See, they used it as blackmail, just as they caused Elizabeth Claire
Prophet in the Church Universal Triumphant to get down on their
knees and beg for mercy and give up their guns. All their guns.
Personal guns. Guns of all the members had to be given away. They sold
out. They sold America down the tubes. They sold out the Second
Amendment.
And the Treasury Department cut a deal and made sure the Sam and Abe
Bronfman didn't go to jail if they paid several million dollars in back
taxes and made them legitimate crooks. The Bronfman family came out of
the deal as multi-millionaires, with all their ties to the Lansky
syndicate still intact, and their criminal record behind them, because
they made a deal with the same people that were bowing down to the fire
in Waco, Texas.
Abner Longee Zwilmann was not the only Prohibition Era gangster
who profited from the old saw: "from rags to rackets to riches to respectability". By the 1950s, the Bronfman's image had been so cleaned
up that Edgar could marry into the "Our Crowd" Loeb family, and his
sister Phyllis could marry Gene Lambert of the Belgian branch of the Rothschild clan.
The Lambert family was the European connection in Drexel Burnham
Lambert.
Ever hear of that?
Drexel Burnham Lambert?
However, image polishing is one thing; reality is another. You see, as
late as 1972, the Montreal Canada Crime Commission had issued a report
naming Mitchell Bronfman as a crime partner of one of the city's biggest
gangsters, Willie Obrunt . The pair were implicated in dope
smuggling. Willie and Mitchell owned a night spot in the middle of
Meyer Lansky's turf in North Miami called The Pagoda North, which was a
favorite hangout for Vido Genovese and other big-time hoodlums.
Edgar Bronfman, for his part, sought out some very peculiar clientele
for his family's whisky business.
In 1986, as the Pollard affair was
playing out, one of Edgar Bronfman's assistants at the World Jewish
Congress--Bronfman had taken over the World Jewish Congress and turned
it into an international arm of the ADL--that's the ADL, on whose
National Commission he sits--and established ties to the brutal Communist regime in East Germany. Bronfman Seagram was made the
exclusive distributor of booze to East Germany's ruling SED Communist
Party.
In 1988, Edgar Bronfman himself traveled to East Berlin where he was the
guest of honor of SED boss Erich Honecker and top party official Herman Axen .
It makes me sick. I don't know about you.
On that trip, Bronfman vowed that he would personally arrange for the
East German leader to make a state visit to Washington, D.C. to meet
with President Ronald Reagan.
Even one year later, with the Berlin Wall and East German Communism
about to collapse, Edgar Bronfman was back in East Germany again--this
time promising to marshall the resources of the World Jewish Congress
and the ADL to block the reunification of Germany which he dubbed a
sell-out of socialism.
And that is the truth of the ADL, the B'nai B'rith, and the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Communism. And that's where this country is going on a roller coaster, unless you stupid sheeple stand up on your hind
feet, take the wool off from in front of your eyes, and become real people.
In return for those efforts, Bronfman was given the highest civilian
award offered by East Germany: the People's Friendship Medal in Gold to this traitor.
Edgar's brother and business partner, Charles, was also a true friend of
the Honecker dictatorship as the head of the Canadian-East German
Friendship Society. He was able to control all passports and visas between the two countries.
But there was much more to the Bronfman East Germany liaison than a
lucrative whisky contract and a few medals, and we'll talk about that
tomorrow night.

The Biggest Secret - Chapter 18
Canada is still a Commonwealth country and it acts as a massive centre for Windsor-Black Nobility operations. This is why so many Canadians, including Strong, Conrad Black, the Bronfman gangster family, and prime ministers like Pierre Trudeau and Brian Mulroney, are involved in the game. Strong is also part of the Rockefeller organization, leading representatives of the Windsor-Black Nobility in the United States.
Strong served with the Rockefeller Foundation which shares a common leadership with all the other ‘independent’ foundations in the United States like Ford and Carnegie. His main role in the past 20 years, however, has been to front the manipulation of the environmental movement. Who was the first head of the United Nations Environment Agency? Maurice Strong. Who was the head of the 1992 Earth Summit in Brazil? Maurice Strong. Who compiled the highly influential environmental report called Our Common Future, better known as the Bruntland Report?
Maurice Strong’s Canadian associate, Jim MacNeil, an ‘advisor’ to the Rio Summit. Who compiled the document called Global 2000, Report To The President, during the Carter administration in America? Cyrus Vance (CFR, TC, Bil) and other Brotherhood personnel. Strong is a member of the infamous Aspen Institute in Colorado formed by the BilderbergerRobert O. Anderson of Atlantic Richfield Oil (ARCO).
His company has a pyramid with a missing capstone as its logo. Anderson was a funder of the environmental group, Friends of the Earth, which, at the highest level, interlocks with others like,

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
All the Queen’s forces and all the Queen’s men
In so many ways, the House of Windsor encapsulates almost every element of this story. They are of a Black Nobility bloodline who are knowingly working to the Brotherhood Agendaand when you look behind the facade what you find is very dark indeed. The Windsors are the highest profile reptilian family on the planet and they operate at the heart of the global manipulation.
They are still ‘gofers’ of a kind and not at the very top of the pyramid, but they are close to those who are.
The very coronation of the British monarch reveals the true background to the Windsors and their predecessors. When the Queen was crowned Elizabeth II on June 2nd 1953, all the regalia of the ceremony, the crowns, sceptres, gowns, orb and bracelets, were taken from the Tower of London and kept overnight in the Jerusalem Chamber at Westminster Abbey.
This chamber is where the scholars met to translate the King James ‘authorised version’ of the Bible under the overall supervision of Sir Francis Bacon and Robert Fludd, the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion.1 The British Royal family still hold the copyright for this! The Jerusalem Chamber is panelled with cedar wood brought from the Lebanon because that was the wood said to be used to build Solomon’s Temple. The tapestry in the chamber depicts the Judgment of Solomon. Westminster Abbey, the ‘Christian cathedral’, is in fact a Pagan temple. Even the floor is made of black and white squares like a Freemasonic temple.
At the start of the ceremony in 1953, the Queen sat on the Coronation Chair and under her bum was the Stone of Destiny which Edward I had stolen from Scone (pronounced ‘scoon’) Abbey in Scotland in 1246. The Stone was supposed to have been brought to Ireland from Israel via Egypt and is also known as Jacob’s Pillar or Pillow. I think the basic theme of that is correct, but there is a great deal more to know about the detail and its true significance. The Archbishop of Canterbury turned to the north, south, east, and west (the four points of the Pagan cross) and the congregation shouted “God save the Queen”. This was symbolic of the story in the Old Testament describing the crowning of ‘Saul’ as King of Israel when people shouted “God save the King”.2
This cry can be found eight times in the Old Testament when the Kings of Israel are crowned. The Queen sat in the Coronation Chair holding the Egyptian symbols, a sceptreand a rod. On the top of the sceptre is the Maltese Cross and on the rod is a dove. She also later holds an orb with a Maltese Cross on the top, the same as those used by the Dutch wing of the Black Nobility.
Babylon is now London and Queen Elizabeth is seen by the Brotherhood as a symbolic successor to the legendary founder of Babylon, Queen Semiramis, who was symbolized as a ‘dove’. The Queen was also anointed with oil at her Coronation, the ancient Aryan and reptile-Aryan tradition which goes back thousands of years. The word ‘Christ’ means the ‘anointed one’. The oil at the Queen’s coronation was the same mixture as that used in the ancient Middle East. It was carried in a gold vessel called the Ampulla made in the form of... a dove.3
This is symbolic of the messeh fat used in Egypt by the Royal Court of the Dragon. The anointing at the Coronation is supposed to elevate the monarch to the rank of High Priest, in this case, appropriately, High Priestess of the Church of England as well as head of state.
While this was happening, the Archbishop of Canterbury said:
“As kings, priests, and prophets were anointed: and as Solomon was anointed by Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet, so be thou anointed, blessed and consecrated Queen over the peoples, whom the Lord thy God hath given thee to rule and govern...
This is pure Brotherhood symbolism. The ‘Lord thy God’ means the ‘gods’ of the ancient world, the reptilian ‘gods’.The crown used in the ceremony goes back to the time of Edward the Confessor. He was the King of England who built the original Westminster Abbey in 1065 and later the present one was begun by the Templar controlled, Henry III. Edward died in 1066, the very year that William the Conqueror and his St Clair supporters invaded England and won the Battle of Hastings under instructions from the Black Nobility of Venice.
The Coronation Crown is set with 12 jewels along with two depictions of the Maltese Cross which was one of the most prominent symbols of the Nazis. In the Levite-authored Exodus we hear of the Breastplate of Aaron which is set with 12 stones.5 The same stones, in the same order, appear in the British crown.6 The Archbishop placed his hands between the Queen’s to pay homage to the new head of his Church and he kissed her right hand. Then he said:
“The Lord Almighty... establish your throne in righteousness, that it may stand for evermore, like as the sun before him, and as a faithful witness in Heaven.”7
This is almost a repeat of the words used in God’s covenant with David in the Old Testament.8 The ‘Lord Almighty’ was formerly El Shaddai or Ishkur, the son of Marduk, who is claimed to have been the son of the Anunnaki scientist, Enki, the guy who, according to the Sumerian Texts as translated by Zecharia Sitchin, was the one who created the human-Anunnaki hybrids with Ninkharsag. The Windsors are of a Brotherhood-Black Nobility bloodline and the Queen was crowned in a Brotherhood ceremony inside a Brotherhood temple.
This will make sense of what you are about to read.
The Windsor bloodElizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, or Queen Elizabeth II, is, like all the royal families of Europe, is the bloodline of that pivotal figure in the takeover of Britain, William III, Prince of Orange, the man who signed into existence the Bank of England. She is also blood related to earlier Black Nobility invaders of the British Isles, like William the Conqueror. She is an ancestor of Robert the Bruce, Kenneth MacAlpin, and the Kings of Scotland, and is related to the Irish Kings going back to the ancient coronation ceremonies at Tara. The Queen Mother, formerly Lady Elizabeth (El-lizard-birth) Bowes-Lyon, comes from a seriously Brotherhood-reptilian bloodline, a Scottish aristocratic family which connects with the Bruces, Stuarts, MacAlpin, and down through the Kings of Ireland.
Her father was Claude George Bowes-Lyon, the 14th Earl of Strathmore, and her mother was Nina Celia Cavendish-Bentinck. The wealth and power of many of these lines owes much, sometimes all, to William of Orange and those who controlled him. It was William who made a Bentinck the first Earl of Portland in recognition of services rendered and the second Bentinck/Duke of Portland married into the Cavendish fortune to become the Cavendish-Bentinks, the line of the Queen Mother’s mother. This makes the Windsors blood relatives of the Cavendish family, the Dukes of Devonshire of Chatsworth House. The title Earl of Strathmore was given originally to the Queen Mother’s ancestor, Patrick Lyon, in recognition of his support for William of Orange.9
In short, the ancestors of the Windsors were fundamental in putting the Black Nobility’s William of Orange on the British throne after which the Bank of England and the power of the City of London was firmly established. Queen Elizabeth (El-lizard-birth), through her Hanoverian ancestors, and others, carries the bloodline of the Black Nobility in Germany and all these strands, be they Irish, Scottish, German, Danish, Swedish, whatever, go back via the Black Nobility Venetians through to the Phoenicians, the Egyptians, to Sumer, and the reptilians.
The bloodlines are incredible and Prince Charles can trace three thousand lines of decent alone from Edward III (1312-1377),10 the monarch who formed the Brotherhood grouping theOrder of the Garter. Nineteen presidents of the United States have also been related to Edward III11 and therefore the line of Prince Charles. The Windsors even have a blood connection to that Brotherhood stooge, Mohammed, the official founder of Islam.12
William of Orange, William III, died in 1702. He and his wife, Mary, left no heirs and so Mary’s sister, Anne, became queen. Anne was the last of the Stuart monarchs because although she had 17 children by her husband, George of Denmark, she survived them all.
In 1714 the scene was set for the takeover of the British Crown by the German Black Nobility family, the Hanovers. They were closely connected with the House of Hesse which would become the launch pad for the House of Rothschild. The first Hanoverian king was George I. He couldn’t even speak English and refused to learn. He began life as minor German nobility, a great grandson of the infamous James I, and ended it as King of Great Britain.
This guy kept his wife, Sophia, in jail for 32 years for her alleged adultery with the Swede, Philip von Konigsmark, who was never seen again and was rumoured to be under the floorboards of George’s Hanover Palace. George II became king in 1727 and died in 1760 while sitting on the toilet suffering from acute constipation. Yes he died of the shits - or rather the lack of them - and there can’t be many monarchs you can say have literally died on the throne. His grandson became George III, whose reign spanned the American War of Independence and a massive expansion of British power. George IV and William IV followed before we come to Queen Victoria, who reigned as Queen of Britain and Queen-Empress of the Empire from 1837 to 1901.
By this time the British (reptilian) Empire controlled 40 per cent of the Earth’s land mass and more than a fifth of the population. It was the biggest empire the world had ever seen. Victoria married Prince Albert of the German Black Nobility House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and had nine children who married into the other royal families (family) of Europe. Victoria has an image of being very straight-laced, but like the Rothschilds, Winston Churchill, and other apparent pillars of the establishment, she was a frequent user of cocaine and heroin.’3
Drug parties were held at the royal summer residence at Balmoral in Scotland.14 The first son of Victoria and Albert became Edward VII, a Grand Master of English Freemasonry, who reigned until 1910. It was now, during the First World War, that the name of the royal house was changed from the German Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the House of Windsor. The German name, Battenberg, was also changed at the same time, 1917, to the anglicised, Mountbatten. The only reason for this sudden switch was public relations. The Germans and the British were slaughtering each other in the trenches of northern France at the time.
In 1936 came Edward VIII who abdicated to marry an American divorcee, Wallis Simpson, and he was replaced by George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth, and husband to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the present Queen Mother. George died in 1952 and his eldest daughter was crowned Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey in 1953. By then she had married a fellow member of the Black Nobility, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, Baron Greenwich, Earl of Merioneth, Duke of Edinburgh.
He was born in Corfu, the son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg, the great granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Philip, a Battenberg, took the anglicized version of Mountbatten and, after his marriage to Elizabeth, the British Royal house became the House of Windsor-Mountbatten. Or rather it was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Battenberg. This arranged marriage was orchestrated by Lord Louis ‘Dickie’ Mountbatten, Prince Philip’s uncle.
Philip is extremely well represented by Black Nobility (reptilian) genes, one reason why he has found it so irritating to have to walk behind his wife according to royal protocol. The Queen is the great granddaughter of Queen Victoria and Philip is also related to Victoria through his mother. One thing to remember is that the royal ‘families’ of Europe are not families at all, they are ONE family, offshoots of the same bloodline operating to the same Agenda.
Some will do this more enthusiastically than others, of course, but basically that’s how it works. An example of this is the way Prince Philip’s clan became the royal family of Greece. After British Intelligence had organized a coup against the ‘Greek’ King, Otto I (a German!), and removed him from the Greek throne in 1862, they selected Prince William, the nephew of the Danish king, to become King of Greece.
I know all this sounds ludicrous, but to the Black Nobilitythis is like a multinational company filling its executive vacancies. Prince William of the Danes became King George I of Greece. (No, you didn’t misread that.) William, sorry George, er, er, yes George, married a granddaughter of the Russian Tsar Nicholas I and Prince Philip is related to seven Tsars. He has massive bloodline connections into Germany and also Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and to most of the royal lines of Europe.
One of his ancestors is Christian, Count of Oldenberg, who died in 1167, and, as I mentioned earlier, one of the two people who founded the European dynasties of the Black Nobility. Philip was in line for the Greek throne when, while he was still a child, another coup removed the Greek monarchy and the family headed for France where he began his education at a private school in Paris. In the years 1931 and 1932 Philip’s four older sisters married into the German-Austrian aristocracy.
Margarita married a grandson of Queen Victoria, the Czech-Austrian prince, Gottfried von Hohenlohe-Langenburg
Cecilia married a great grandson of Queen Victoria, Georg Donatus, Grand Duke of Hess-by-Rhine
Sophie’s partner was Prince Christoph of Hesse
Theodora married Berthold, the Margrave of Baden
Berthold’s father was Max von Baden, the German Chancellor during World War I. Max von Baden founded a school near Lake Constantine in Germany via his personal secretary, Kurt Hahn, who was trained at Oxford, the Brotherhood’s premier training ground for new recruits. Hahn was head of the intelligence desk at the Berlin Foreign Ministry during the war and was Max von Baden’s advisor at the Rothschild-controlled Versailles Peace Conference. It was to their fascist school in Schloss Salem that Prince Philip was sent to be ‘educated’.
At the time it was under the control of the Nazi Party and Hitler Youth, with Nazi race science’ on the curriculum. It had quite an impact on Philip as we shall see. Kurt Hahn had left before Philip arrived, but he was not finished with the ‘education’ business. Hahn, a fascist to his core, went to Scotland and started the Gordonstoun Academy, the school where Prince Charles was sent to be indoctrinated.
Hahn the fascist also became an advisor to the British Foreign Office. After four years at Hahn’s German Nazi school, Philip was sent to Gordonstoun on November 16th 1937 as the approach to the Second World War gathered pace.15 The British public school system, and its equivalent in the United States and elsewhere, is a vital part of the Brotherhood network. It is the recruiting and training ground designed to turn out either psychopaths or mentally and emotionally broken people who have learned to do exactly as they are told. You have only got to talk with some of those who have experienced it to know what a mind control operation it is.
There are support groups to counsel people who have been mentally and emotionally scarred for life by what happened to them. It is legalized child abuse. In Britain, the children of the aristocracy and wealthy families (and others who know no better) are taken from home at the age of six and dumped at their first boarding or ‘prep’ school. ‘Prep’ means preparation to be indoctrinated. Already they are feeling unloved and frightened as their parents drive away, leaving them in a strange place among strange people. I repeat these kids are just six. Can you imagine the effect of that on a little child?
From the formal, loveless life of prep school they go on to a public school. Eton and Harrow are the most famous and Prince William, the heir to the throne behind his father, Prince Charles, was sent to Eton. At these prep and public schools, the children either conform to the rules, regulations and thought control or they incur the wrath of the black gowns, the men in black. The ‘fagging’ system in which younger boys become slaves to the older ones has encouraged the desire to dominate and control others and introduced youngsters to the ‘joys’ of inflicting pain and torture on others.
A friend of mine who was determined not to be broken by the endless beatings he received from both teachers and older boys, was forced to lie in ice-cold baths in an attempt to break his spirit. It is from these schools, and the Oxford and Cambridge Universities, that the often deeply imbalanced people emerge who enter the positions of financial, political, military and royal power.
The psychopaths among them give the orders and those of broken spirit do as they are told without question, just as they have been trained to do. The lack of female company encourages homosexual activity and many of these people find it very difficult to relate to women. I’m not condemning homosexuality, by the way, everyone to their own as long as they don’t force it on anyone else. I’m just explaining what happens, that’s all. There are some strange goings on at such schools which are designed to affect the minds of the children involved. Sexual abuse is definitely part of that.
Tony Blair, the Brotherhood chosen one who became British Prime Minister on May 1st 1997, attended the public school called Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland, where one of his close friends was the school chaplain, the Very Reverend Ronald Selby Wright, a senior figure in the Church of Scotland. Selby Wright was later revealed to be a persistent paedophile abusing boys at Fettes and elsewhere.16
Blair, who is close to the Windsors, went on to Oxford University and became a barrister at the ancient Inns of Court at Temple Bar in London. The public school system is horrific and schools such as Gordonstoun and Schloss Salem, which Philip attended, are at the extreme end even of that.
Prince Philip’s family were supporters of the Nazi Party and by 1935 Prince Christoph, the husband of his sister Sophie, was a colonel in the SS on Himmler’s personal staff and head of the Forschungsamt, an Elite intelligence operation controlled by Hermann Goering. The Forschungsamt gathered intelligence on Jews and others the Nazis wished to destroy, worked with the Gestapo, and also spied on members of the Nazi Party itself. It was they who carried out the famous Night of the Long Knives when Hitler removed his key opponents. Christoph and Sophie named their eldest child, Karl Adolf, after Adolf Hitler and Prince Philip would be involved in his education.
Christoph’s brother, Philip of Hesse, was related to the King of Italy and he was the official liaison between the fascists of Italy and Germany. At the same time, the British King, Edward VIII, was also a Nazi supporter and Philip maintained communications with him after his forced abdication in 1936. The official reason for this was Edward’s relationship with the American divorcee, Wallis Simpson.
After just 325 days Edward went into exile to the Rothschild mansion in Austria and later settled in Paris. Edward’s Paris home was bought by Mohamed Al Fayed in the 1990s andDiana and Dodi Fayed visited the house on the day they died. One of Edward’s biggest supporters was the fascist paedophile and Satanist Lord Louis Mountbatten, uncle of Prince Philip and Philip’s route into the British Royal Family. Mountbatten was a great grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and was born at Windsor Castle in 1900.
While Mountbatten (Battenberg) was apparently fighting on the British side during the war, he was maintaining communications with his, and the Windsors’, German clan via his sister Louise, the Crown Princess of Sweden and wife of King Gustav. Louise was Prince Philip’s aunt. At the end of the war, in June 1945, the British king, George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth and husband of the Queen Mother, sent the former MIS officer, Anthony Blunt, to the Kronberg Castle of Philip’s sister Sophie, and her Nazi husband Prince Christoph of Hesse, to recover correspondence between the British Royal family and their Nazi relatives.17
Blunt was the ‘Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures’ and a world expert in the paintings of Poussin, the initiate who painted pictures called The Shepherds Of Arcadia which very much related to the mysteries of Rennes-le-Chateau. Blunt was exposed as a member of a ‘KGB’ unit inside British Intelligence along with Burgess, Maclean and Philby. The fifth man, who was never named, was Lord Victor Rothschild (see And The Truth Shall Set You Free). In fact it was a Brotherhood unit and not, ultimately, answerable to the KGB. When Blunt was finally collared in the 1980s, Queen Elizabeth apparently demanded that he was not questioned on his clandestine mission to Kronberg Castle.18
Lord Mountbatten, this arch manipulator for the Black Nobility, held key positions at vital moments in history. He was Supreme Commander in south east Asia during the Second World War (where Prince Philip also served); he was the last Viceroy of India and the Governor-general during the British withdrawal; and he was First Sea Lord, the pinnacle of the British Navy, at the time of the British invasion of Suez in 1958.
Mountbatten was killed by an IRA bomb in Ireland in 1979, but as these terrorist groups subcontract ‘hits’ between each other the true origin of the assassination cannot be stated with certainty.
The Windsor wealth
The Windsors are wealthy beyond description. The Queen’s title of the ‘richest woman in the world’ hardly tells the story and no wonder Prince Philip calls the Windsors ‘the family firm’. They have inherited the accumulated wealth of the Queen’s Black Nobility ancestors in land, homes, art treasures and jewels. Some of them the Queen owns and others are officially owned by the ‘state’, which, as a result, she can pass on untaxed to each generation of her family. Ownership by the state means ownership by the Black Nobility which controls the state.
This is just some of the Windsor booty:
The Queen has more than 300 residences, including castles or palaces like Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace (where Diana lived), St James Palace, (the London base of Prince Charles), Holyrood House in Edinburgh, Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham in Norfolk where Diana first met Prince Charles. She owns the Duchy of Lancaster with around 40,000 acres of land, mostly agricultural, but including prime development sites of enormous value.
Parliament passed a bill in 1988 to allow her to develop and sell some of this land around the Strand in London. Like much of her wealth, the contents of the Duchy of Lancaster was stolen, in this case from Simon de Montfort junior by the son of Henry III after de Montfort’s efforts to establish a strong parliament were defeated in 1265. If you look at the records you will probably find that the de Montforts stole it from someone else. The Windsors own another Duchy, that of Cornwall, administered by Prince Charles.
This is another 44,000 acres which also includes plots in the most expensive parts of London. The Queen has inherited or purchased the world’s biggest private collection of jewels. The Koh-i-noor Diamond, then the world’s largest, was presented to Queen Victoria after the East India Company had defeated the Maharajah of the Punjab in 1851. The Cullinen Diamond was a peace offering to British royalty after the Boer War in South Africa which was engineered by Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner, the Rothschilds and the Round Table.
Other gifts have come from Arab oil sheikhs and various heads of state. More than 7,000 paintings and 20,000 drawings by old masters are owned by the Royal Collection Trust which the Queen controls. She privately owns a vast collection of other works and all this will be passed down the Windsor line when she dies, unless the nation wakes up and brings an end to the monarchy.
No-one knows what the Windsors really own because it is forbidden for Parliament even to discuss the fact that the Queen keeps her private wealth a secret.19 Such secrecy is vital to prevent outrage by her ‘subjects’ and to allow her to use her privilege for insider trading, a practice which is illegal. Insider trading is to be in a position to hear privileged information which could be used to make a financial killing and then to use that knowledge to do just that.
The Queen, with her colossal portfolio of global investments, is in the perfect position to make unlimited profits. She is constantly kept informed, via meetings with prime ministers, ministers, officials, British Intelligence and other sources, of the secret happenings in the world. She knows through these channels and others, where the best and worst investments are going to be and through her secret network she can ensure that the most effective financial use is made of that information. It was exposed in 1977 that the Bank of England, the creation of the Black Nobility, had established a company called the Bank of England Nominees Ltd (BOEN), to hide the Queen’s investments.20
The Windsor line has had a particularly profitable relationship with the City of London since the reign of Edward VII, the son of Queen Victoria. Edward’s leading financial advisor was Ernest Cassel, the Black Nobility banker. Cassel’s daughter and heiress, Edwina, would marry Lord Louis Mountbatten, the foremost influence on both Prince Philip and Prince Charles. Edward VII, a leading Freemason, was also close to the Rothschilds, the Sassoons (an offshoot of the Rothschild bloodline), and the American Payseur-Rothschild clones, Morgan and Harriman. Other financial names with long royal associations are Barings and Morgan Grenfell.
The private financial advisor to George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth, was Sir Edward Peacock of Barings Bank and the Bank of England. The King awarded Peacock a Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, so the advice was obviously very profitable. George VI also made Lord Cromer his Lord Chamberlain, the highest rank in the Royal Household. Cromer was at one time managing director of Barings.
Researchers like Philip Beresford, the author of The Book Of The British Rich, say that Queen Elizabeth invests in the major corporations like Rio Tinto (formerly Rio Tinto Zinc or RTZ), Royal Dutch Shell, ICI and General Electric. This makes sense because these are all pillars of the Black Nobility. The Queen appears to have substantial investments in Rio Tinto, the biggest mining company in the world.
It was established in 1873 by Hugh Matheson of the global drug running operation called Jardine Matheson. Rio Tinto was in at the start of North Sea oil and, along with Texaco, was using the refineries of BP in which the Queen is also believed to have major investments. The Queen would have made enormous profits at each point in the operation and she would have had insider knowledge of the North Sea potential.
Perhaps the most blatant conflict of interest to be identified was Rio Tinto’s involvement in a cartel formed in 1971 to fix the price of uranium. A federal grand jury and the 1976 US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Frank Church, exposed the sting. It also included a company called Mary Kathleen Uranium of Australia. This company had been secretly encouraging the Aborigines to occupy uranium lands in Australia to take them out of production and so raise the price on the world market.21
The manufactured shortage of uranium had a serious effect on the American Westinghouse company who sought to take legal action against Rio Tinto for price rigging. An American court ordered that Rio Tinto officials answer questions, but this was quashed by the British Law Lords (Black Nobility and their clones). The Australian government passed legislation to the same effect. This was after the Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, had been dismissed from office by the Queen’s Governor General of Australia, Sir John Kerr. Whitlam was pursuing a policy of buying out the mining and raw material cartels, like Rio Tinto and Anglo-American, to stop them raping Australia’s resource base, while giving nothing in return.
The Queen, with enormous investments in both companies, removed Whitlam by using some of her wide range of ‘Prerogative Powers’ which she can instigate when necessary. The Queen has no power these days? Sure. Part of the scam is to encourage people to believe that she has no power while giving her amazing powers should the need arise for emergency action by the Brotherhood.
Sir John Kerr, a former high level operative for British Intelligence, an arm of the Black Nobility, was made a member of the Privy Council and the Royal Victorian Order for his loyal and most profitable service to the Queen’s portfolio. He was later murdered, however, when there was a danger of the truth coming out about the removal of Gough Whitlam.22
The Queen has massive investments in America and many of these relate to the founding of the Virginia Company under James I and Sir Francis Bacon which carved up those lands from the very start. The British Crown still owns America (possibly on behalf of the Vatican) and, with the London-based Brotherhood, the Queen enjoys an amazing income from the raw materials and other profits generated by the United States (the Virginia Company).
In 1966 two US congressmen described in the congressional record how the Queen owned one of the world’s largest plantations in Scott, Mississippi, close to the Arkansas border, called the Delta and Pine Land Company. It was worth even at that time some $44.5 million and yet it paid its hundreds of black labourers a pittance. Note the name, too. Delta (the triangle or pyramid) is a major symbol which is why the Elite US Military unit is called Delta Force.
The pornography collection in the Library of Congress is known as the Delta Collection and the Delta, or Triad, is featured in the logos of hundreds of American businesses, including Delta Airlines. Not by coincidence Delta is also the symbol of Royal Arch Freemasonry. This is where the name of the Chinese organized crime operation, the Triads (triangle), comes from and the Elite grouping called the Trilateral Commission. When Adnan Khashoggi, the notorious global arms dealer, opened an American branch of his operation he called it Triad America. Khashoggi, a relative of the Fayeds, is an associate of George Bush, who is a close friend of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
From 1968 the Queen’s Delta and Pine company attracted US government subsidies of $1.5 million. Senator McIntyre said in Congress on April 16th 1970 that the government had “Paid the Queen $120,000 for not planting cotton on farmland she owns in Mississippi” 23 The New Yorker Magazine also reported that the Queen is the biggest owner of slum property in New York City and her holdings include the theatre district, 42nd Street.24
It is reckoned that between 3,000 and 5,000 families own and control the world economy, but the number of people at the core of that control is far, far fewer: a relative handful. The Windsors are definitely among or very close to that inner circle Elite. This Brotherhood cartel controls every aspect of the global economic network, the banks, insurance companies, raw materials, transportation, factories, finished products, major retail groups (and by market rigging all the rest), the stock and material markets, governments, media, intelligence agencies and so on.
This is coordinated through the secret societies and one of their most important vehicles is the City of London-House of Windsor operation called the Club of the Isles. It was named after King Edward VII, Queen Victoria’s son, who was the first to carry the title Prince of the Isles. The title is held today by Prince Charles. Edward was heavily involved with Black Nobility barons of the Square Mile London financial district and helped them to engineer the Crimean War, the Russia-Japan War, the preparations for the First World War and the Opium Wars with China.
Through the central organization of the Club of the Isles comes the fantastic web of interlocking directorships which hold apparently independent’ companies in a network of common control and common agenda. Some of this web include:
The Bank of England
Anglo-American Corp of South Africa
Rio Tinto
Minorco Minerals and Resources Corp
De Beers Consolidated Mines and De Beers Centenary AG
N.M. Rothchild Bank
Barclays Bank
Lloyds Bank

Reuters Holdings
Glaxo Wellcome
SmithKline BeechamUnilever and Unilever NV
Vickers plc
And that is just a few of them! Each of these corporations have staggering lists of subsidiaries going on for page after page. Lonrho alone at the time of writing has 640 subsidiaries.
These London-based operations connect with those in other developed and developing countries giving the Black Nobility-Windsor cartels control over world banking and mineral, energy and food production. One of the Black Nobility companies in the United States is Archer Daniels Midland, headed by the Bilderberger, Dwayne Andreas, one of the main financial backers of the deeply corrupt US politician, Bob Dole, who so meekly ‘opposed’ the Brotherhood choice, Bill Clinton, in the 1996 presidential election.
The Black Nobility has made the City of London the world financial centre since its arrival en masse with William of Orange. Today this centre is home to over a quarter of the world’s foreign exchange turnover and the London Stock Exchange lists more foreign companies than any other. Ninety per cent of cross-exchange trading in Europe is handled by the City and it is the world’s biggest issuer of Eurobonds.
The leading commodity futures markets in Europe are based here, as are the London Metal Exchange, the International Financial Petroleum Exchange and the London Commodity Exchange. I understand from contacts in America that it is through organizations like the London Metal Exchange that profits from the Virginia Company (United States of America) are channelled back to London. The City is the centre for international marine, aviation, and commercial insurance and reinsurance.
The City dominates world fund management for foreign institutions and governments and all these City operations have Freemasons in prominent positions.25 More than 500 foreign banks have offices in the City and in 1993 UK-based banks accounted for 16% of lending worldwide, an astonishing figure for these small islands. The interlocking directorships between these banks and businesses are simply breathtaking. I can only give you a selection of them here, but they will give you a feel for what is going on:

Imagine the power you have to control events when you control all these companies and the governments making decisions affecting those companies. Add to that the control of the media via organizations like the BBC, the Reuters news agency, Hollinger Inc., Thomson, News Corporation, Pearson, Reed Elsevier, The Washington Post, New York Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc, etc... and
The Windsor power
The British Royal family have always been close to Freemasonry and their own orders like the Knights of the Garter, the Order of the Thistle, and the Royal Victorian Order interlock with the Freemasonic networks. So, of course, does the Order of St John of Jerusalem (Knights of Malta). The expansion of Freemasonry in England in the 18th century coincided with the arrival of the German Hanoverian dynasty. The current Grand Master of the English Grand Lodge in Great Queen(Semiramis/Isis) Street in London is the Queen’s cousin, the Duke of Kent. Prince Philip was initiated into the Navy Lodge number 2612 on December 5th 1952.27
His father in law, George VI, the Queen’s father and husband of the Queen Mother, was an ardent Mason,28 as was Edward VII and most other monarchs since the emergence of Freemasonry. The Queen is ‘Grand Patroness’ of Freemasonry. She is served by the 390 members of the so-called Privy Council which connects with its equivalent in other Commonwealth countries. It is legally above Parliament because of its prerogative powers. Its members, who are appointed for life, include Prince Philip, Prince Charles, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Prime Minister.
Nine official meetings are held each year and the government ministers stand to attention while the Queen is told of the government measures they are asking the Queen to approve. This Privy Council of inner-circle politicians, courtiers and public servants have to bow to the Queen and shake her hand before standing in line and they are sworn to conduct their business in the utmost secrecy.29
Another of the Windsor-Black Nobility vehicles for global manipulation is the Crown Agents. This organization was formed in 1833 as ‘Crown Agents for the Colonies’ to run the day-to-day administration in the Empire and serve as private bankers to government officials, colonial authorities and heads of state. It also supplied a vast range of goods, including arms. Given the methods and background of the British Empire, it would certainly have been involved in the drugs market. The Crown Agents has a long history of involvement with organized crime and operates covert arms shipments into Africa which are used to cause the genocidal wars.30
This was, and is, a Crown Agency working for the monarch and yet had its entire debt guaranteed by the British government. In the 1970s it was bailed out by a Bank of England rescue costing hundreds of millions of pounds. For many years it managed the personal wealth of the Sultan of Brunei, the friend of the Queen and a funder of many private projects for Prince Philip, Prince Charles and George Bush. The Sultan is also a financial backer of unofficial British and American Intelligence operations31 and a man who has funded the operation of Mohamed Al Fayed, father of Dodi.
The Crown Agents were ‘privatised’ in 1996 with the name Crown Agents for Overseas Government and Administrations Ltd. ‘Privatisation’ is Brotherhood-speak for the transfer of power from Black Nobility via government agency to Black Nobility via direct ownership. The new Crown Agents acts as a holding company for a long list of companies and ventures and it continues as before as a vital cog in the network throughout the world. It’s chairman, David H. Probert, is the former director of the British weapons manufacturer, Birmingham Small Arms Ltd, and a director is F. Cassell (that name again), a Companion of the Bath (a Queen-awarded title), and former executive director of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank for Great Britain.
The Crown Agents Foundation, which holds the share capital in trust, is headed by Sir David Rowe-Ham, Knight Grand Cross of the British Empire. This trust includes Barclays Bank, Standard and Chartered Bank, Unilever, Tate and Lyle, Securicor (a global operator of ‘security services’), British Telecom, the Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum (headed by Prince Charles), and the Aga Khan Foundation. The same old crowd.
The Crown Agents manages the customs services for Mozambique and, through a company called Europe SA, is in charge of all economic construction procurement for Bosnia... yes, Bosnia. It is also involved in a joint venture with a Monaco-based company, ES-KO, to provide all the food for United Nations peacekeeping forces in Angola and Bosnia.32 So the more wars and conflict, the more money the Crown Agents has the potential to make.
An important part of the Windsor-Black Nobility-City of London web are the so-called ‘City Livery Companies’. These allege to represent the various groups of merchants like the gun makers, stationers and newspaper makers, the goldsmiths, and
such like. In fact they are secret societies fundamental to the control of the City institutions and much further afield. In the 1350s, in the wake of the plague known as the Black Death, government of the City was passed from the ward councils to the City Livery Companies.The Templars were still very active behind the scenes and the power appeared to be concentrated in the Masons Guild. This network interlocks with its offshoots around the world. In 1979, the year that Margaret Thatcher became British Prime Minister, the Honourable Company of Freemen of the City of London of North America began to hold meetings in New York and Toronto, and on October 21st 1991 the Association of Liverymen of the City of London in Hong Kong was founded and all their members appeared to be architects (Freemasons)33
The late author, Peter Jones, researched some of the Livery Companies in the 1990s for his book, The Obedience Of Australia, which exposed the manipulation which led to the removal by the Queen of Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam. These are some of the names he found within these ‘Companies’:
Engineers: Duke of Edinburgh.
Airline Pilots and Navigators: Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Andrew.
Butchers: Queen Mother, Lord Vestey (of the meat family and the Lord Prior of the Order of St John of Jerusalem).
Merchant Taylors: Queen Mother, Lord Whitelaw (alleged Satanist and former deputy prime minister to Margaret Thatcher), Lord Hailsham.
Glovers: Margaret Thatcher, Sir John Fieldhouse (the Admiral of the Fleet), both at the forefront of the 1982 Falklands War.
Poulterers: Margaret Thatcher, Duchess of Devonshire (Chatsworth House).
Fishmongers: Duke of Devonshire, Duchess of Devonshire, C. E. A. Hambro (Hambros Bank, Taylor Woodrow, P & 0), Lord Inchcape (Inchcape plc, P & 0, Her Majesty’s Lieutenant of London).
Goldsmiths: J. H. Hambro.
Grocers: Edward Heath (Satanist and former British Prime Minister, Bilderberg Group and architect of Britain’s entry into the European Community).
Salters: Duke of Kent (Grand Master of English Freemasonry), Lord Armstrong (the man with the long list of government and business appointments I mentioned earlier).
Clothworkers: Sir Peter Gadsden (a Grand Master at the United Grand Lodge), Lord Carrington (Bilderberg Group chairman, President of the Royal Institute of International Affairs and major Brotherhood operative).
Another name that appears in many of these Livery Companies is McAlpine, the construction family, with the Satanist tendencies. These groups link into the Freemason networks. There are more Freemasons per square foot in the Square Mile of the City of London financial centre than anywhere else on Planet Earth. The Bank of England has its own Freemasonry Lodge (Lodge No 263), 50 do other banks like Lloyds (Black Horse of Lombard Street Lodge, No 4155), and there is the elite Guildhall Lodge, based at the Mansion House since 1905.
The Mansion House is the official residence of the Lord (Freemason) Mayor of London and more than 60 Mayors have been Masters of the Lodge.34 Look at that Lloyd’s symbol, the Black Horse (Black Sun) of Lombard Street Lodge. Lombardy was a financial fiefdom of the Black Nobility Venetian/Phoenicians.
The Windors are part of this reptilian network of financial and political manipulators, Satanists and ritual child killers. Knowingly so. The network has among its number, via its countless secret societies, the leading judges, policemen, politicians, business people, top civil servants, media owners and editors. Under these kings and generals of the network come the corporals and the foot soldiers who have no idea of the scale of the Agenda they are involved in.
If the Brotherhood want someone framed, prosecuted, or murdered, it happens.
If they want one of their people protected from prosecution, it happens.
If they want a controversial proposal like a new road, a building or law change to be approved, they make sure one of their guys is appointed to head the official ‘inquiry’ to make the decision they want.
This network selects the prime ministers through their manipulation of all political parties and appoints the leading government officials. The
Conrad Black: agent for British Intelligence and head of the Hollinger media empire which was originally formed by his father, George, a British Intelligence operative. Black is a member of the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group
Prince Johannes von Thurn und Taxis(deceased): one of the most prominent Venetian families of the Black Nobility and the Holy Roman Empire. Close associate of the Rothschilds. His father, Max, founded Hitler’s Allgemeine SS which had its headquarters at the family’s Regensburg Castle in Bavaria, home of the Bavarian Illuminati
Tibor Rosenbaum (deceased): Mossad logistics operative and head of the Geneva-based Banque du Credit International (BCI), the forerunner to the notorious BCCI which was dubbed the Bank of Crooks and Criminals. Life magazine exposed Rosenbaum’s bank as a money launderer for the Meyer Lansky US-based organized crime network and Rosenbaum was also a backer of Permindex, the assassination unit of British Intelligence which was at the centre of the assassination of John E Kennedy (see .. And the Truth Shall Set You Free)
Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield (deceased): British Intelligence agent who fronted the Permindex operation
Robert Vesco: sponsored by the Swiss branch of the Rothschilds and part of the American connection to the Medellin drug cartel in Colombia. Last heard of on the run, possibly in Cuba
Henry Keswick, chairman of Jardine Matheson, one of the biggest drug running operations on the planet. His brother, John Keswick, a backer of the WWF, is chairman of Hambros Bank and a director of the Bank of England
Sir Francis de Guingand, former head of British Military Intelligence, now living in South Africa
Sir Kenneth Kleinwort: a member of the banking family behind Kleinwort Benson
King Juan Carlos of Spain: Black Nobility and founder and president of honour of WWF-Spain
Prince Henrik: President of WWF-Denmark
Dr Luc Hoffman: vice-president of WWF International and director of the Swiss pharmaceutical company Hoffman-LaRoche

Yes, sounds like a bunch of conservationists, doesn’t it? Martin Palmer, an advisor to Philip on environmental matters, said the
First the invasion and overt control of the continent by the Black Nobility branches of Europe, the British, Dutch, Belgians, Germans, Portuguese and French.
Then came the transition from colonial rule by physical occupation to rule by financial occupation via corrupt presidents and prime ministers imposed by the Brotherhood. Anyone seeking power who will not play the game is removed by assassination, scandal or coup. The faces change, but the masters stay the same.
Rhodesia became Zimbabwe under the manipulation of Britain’s Margaret Thatcher (Bil) and Lord Carrington (RIIA, TC, Bil, Comm 300), but all that happened was that the white dictatorship of Ian Smith was replaced by the dictatorship of Robert Mugabe. The lives of the people of Africa have not changed because the same people are still in control. Only now its more difficult to spot them because they work behind the scenes.
The third phase of this African operation is to turn the continent into a bloodbath which will destroy all coherent society and justify the imposition of rule by NATO and United Nations ‘peacekeepers’. The environment is being used as an excuse to steal more and more land and the debt crisis is being ‘solved’ by the banks of the Brotherhood offering to forgive ‘debt’ in return for the rights to the mineral resources - forever.
The mass murder in places like Algeria, Rwanda and Burundi is not spontaneous, it has been organized in great detail, just as the conflict and genocide in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka, etc, have been.
In .. And The Truth Shall Set You Free, I reveal the background to many of these conflicts.
The International Red Cross (red cross, the Templar/Phoenician symbol) have been caught supplying arms to the Tamil Rebels in Sri Lanka and the Zapatista rebels in Mexico.55 The Red Cross, as I document in .. And The Truth, is a front for the Brotherhood, although its genuine employees and volunteers have no knowledge of this. You don’t need an intelligence test to know why Elizabeth Dole, the wife of Bob Dole, is head of the Red Cross in America.
Other apparently genuine organizations like Oxfam and Amnesty International are also used for Brotherhood manipulation. Afghan Aid UK was a vehicle through which the Mujahideen terrorists were organized and deployed to trigger the war in Afghanistan.56 It was headed by Viscount Cranborne (Robert Cecil).
The Cecil family are one of the oldest Black Nobility bloodlines in Britain and were most active in the time of Cecil Rhodes. Robert Cecil’s great-great-grandfather was the Third Marquess of Salisbury, the prime minister who helped to manipulate the outbreak of the First World War. Another intelligence operative involved in the creation of the Afghanistan war was Lord Bethell, the Lord in Waiting to the Queen, who ran Radio Free Kabul.57
The Windsor-Black Nobility covert operations create the ‘terrorist’ groups and ‘freedom fighters’ then light the fuse and watch hundreds of thousands of people, sometimes millions, be slaughtered. They can rely on their media barons like Black, Murdoch, Turner and Packer to sell the public a smokescreen story through ‘journalists’ who mostly haven’t got a clue what is happening.
Game reserves and national parks already account for more than eight per cent of the land in sub-Saharan Africa and in Tanzania it is 40%.58 Under some of these lands are fantastic reserves of mineral resources and in some cases untapped reserves of uranium. The ‘parks’ are often in strategic areas across borders and those who administrate them can keep out anyone they choose. Who administrates them?
Agencies like Prince Philip’s WWF and other Brotherhood organizations such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and the UN Development Programme. They employ military and intelligence personnel to do this and as such they are subverting the sovereignty of the African nations. Two horrifying examples are Operation Strongholdand Operation Lock.
Stronghold was supposed to be supporting the Zimbabwe Department of National Parks and Wildlife Management to save 700 black rhinos in the Zambezi Valley, but it emerged that the Chief Game Ranger Glen Tatham and his staff were simply killing ‘poachers’ without warning.
Official figures show that between July 1984 and September 1991, 145 ‘poachers’ were killed, most of them from a helicopter funded by Prince Philip’s WWF and manned by WWF contract employees.59 But when you look at the figures more closely, you find that the overwhelming majority of those killed were unarmed! Why no prosecutions then? Because when the story first came to light a bill was rushed through the Zimbabwe Parliament called the Protection of Wildlife (Indemnity) Act
which gave the game wardens immunity from prosecution.60The WWF was now able to kill whoever it liked whenever it liked in the reserves. In Operation Lock, the WWF deployed an elite squad of SAS men to ‘neutralise’ the cartels smuggling wildlife and wildlife ‘products’. It turned out that these SAS guys had started to deal themselves in the illegal sale of ivory and rhino horn.61 People on the ground in Africa have long known that the main killers of wildlife in the parks are those, often employed by the WWF, who are supposed to be protecting them.
The Operation Lock scandal erupted in late 1989 and early 1990 and it should also be noted that, as with Operation Stronghold, the arrival of the SAS coincided with a rapid rise in the number of dead ‘poachers’. This is not surprising given that the training of ‘elite’ squads such as the SAS, the Parachute Regiment, the Green Berets, the Delta Force, and such like, is designed to turn out fully qualified psychopaths.
The organization of the WWF’s Operation Lock was headed by Colonel David Stirling, the founder of the SAS during World War Two. He formed a company for the operation which he named KAS Enterprises, a name inspired by his membership of the Capricorn Africa Society (CAS), which in the words of the governor of Kenya Sir Philip Kerr, was created to ‘preserve apartheid in a sugar coating’ 62
The treasurer of Capricorn Africa Society, Mervyn Cowne, was the man behind the Kenyan park system along with Elspeth Huxley. She married into the family of Julian Huxley, the inspiration behind the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the architects of ‘biodiversity’, and an organisation with a constitution written by the British Foreign Office. The interconnecting web is incredible.
The Queen and Prince Philip knew exactly what Stirling’s SAS assault team were going to do in Operation Lock. Stirling is extremely close to the Windsors and played a significant role in the Queen’s Coronation ceremony under the title of the ‘Golden Stick’.63
As a Scottish aristocrat, Stirling was particularly close to the Queen Mother, another Black Nobility Scottish bloodline who is certainly not the person she appears to be in her public charade as the nation’s ‘grandma’. Stirling, along with all members of the SAS, MIS, M16 and so on, swears his oath of loyalty to the monarch, not the state. You can’t even take your seat as a British MP unless you make the same pledge even though you have been elected by the people. Stirling admitted he had been in close contact with the British Defence and Foreign Ministries, two other links in the Windsor-Brotherhood chain.
Stirling’s operational officer in KAS and Operation Lock was Lt Colonel Ian Crooke, one of the hooded men on the balcony when his SAS team stormed the Iranian Embassy in London in May 1980, while millions watched on live television.64 People like this were employed by Prince Philip and his WWF to protect wildlife in Africa? No, no, they were there as part of the Windsor-Black Nobility operation to turn Africa into a devastated blood bath.
The wildlife parks are used as safe havens for the Brotherhood-Windsor-sponsored terrorists responsible for so much genocide in Africa. Nearly 20 per cent of Rwanda is covered by these reserves. The 1990 invasion of Rwanda by the ‘Rwanda Patriotic Front’ (RPF) came via the Gorilla Park and Akagera Park in Uganda on the Rwanda-Zaire border, and the Volcans Park in Rwanda.
The RPF (a British-controlled terrorist force) were also based in parts of the Virunga Park in Zaire.65 A few months before these events, a ‘gorilla protection programme’ had begun in the Virunga, Gorilla and Volcan Parks. This programme was administered by... the WWF. In 1994 the ‘Rwanda Patriotic Front’ invaded Rwanda via the Akagera Park to trigger a conflict which has so far killed well in excess of a million people.
I understand the violence began shortly after a ‘diplomatic mission’ to Rwanda by Henry Kissinger and Lord Carrington and it followed the sale of weapons to Rwanda by the Israeli government, then headed by Yitzhak Rabin. In truth this invasion was not by the ‘Rwanda Patriotic Front’ (RPF) at all. Almost every member of that group was a soldier in the ‘National Resistance Army’ (NRA) of Uganda’s President Museveni.
The leaders of both the RFP and the NRA are the same! The Rwanda Patriotic Front’s David Tinyefuza was the Ugandan Minister for Defence, whilst Paul Kagame the Rwanda Defence Minister under the RPF was head of Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence in the Ugandan army, and the RPF’s Chris Bunyenyezi is the former commander of the Ugandan army’s murderous 306th Brigade.66 The same crowd under Museveni were involved in the attempted coup in Burundi in 1993 in which President Melchior Ndadaye was murdered and an estimated 100,000 people lost their lives.67
Another aspect of this policy in Africa, and Central and South America, is to reduce the population of what Henry Kissinger calls the “useless eaters”. The genocide in Africa is being coordinated to a large extent out of Uganda which has long been controlled by the Windsor-Black Nobility cartels of banking, business and intelligence agencies.
The British Minister of Overseas Development at the time was Margaret Thatcher’s favourite, Lynda Chalker, who had a number of meetings with Museveni and his officials. South Africa with the end of Nelson Mandela’s presidency is going to be a major target for those who are working to turn black against black to justify the intervention of the white peace keepers. We have seen only the start of the problems in the African continent: it is time for the people there to open their eyes.
Exactly the same operation is being played out in the Americas and Australia where the same names and techniques are there to see. In South and Central America, Brotherhood-controlled governments are ‘privatising’ their mineral and mining companies and handing them to the Black Nobility-Windsor cartels, particularly Rio Tinto, Anglo-American, Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining. Barrick Gold, based in Toronto, was formed in 1981 by Adnan Khashoggi, the Saudi financier and global arms trader and the uncle of Dodi Fayed.
Peter Munk, formerly with the British royal household, became chairman of Barrick which appeared from nowhere to be the second biggest gold producer in the world.68 One reason for this was the active involvement of the George Bush-Harriman networks. Khashoggi was a backer of President Bush’s Iran-Contra drug-for-arms operation (see .. And The Truth Shall Set You Free). Newmont Mining is based in Denver, Colorado, a highly significant, and growing, Brotherhood centre. It appears to be an American company, but is once again controlled from London. It has been owned by the Hanson group who sold it to James Goldsmith.
He sold 14% to George Soros, one of the Brotherhood’s most active and identifiable financial manipulators, especially on behalf of the Rothschilds. Other shareholders in Newmont areLord Jacob Rothschild, the Fidelity Mutual Fund, and Boston-based drug syndicates.69 Alongside the assault on South America by the mineral corporations has come the takeover of the continent’s banking system by the City of London cartel, led by HSBS (Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank which owns Midland Bank) and their interlocking American and Canadian counterparts like Citibank, the Bank of Montreal, and the Bank of Nova Scotia or Scotiabank.70
The Queen is Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces in the United Kingdom and the countries of the Commonwealth. The British army is deployed in many strategic parts of the world either directly or via the NATOand UN peacekeeping operations. British military ‘advisors’ are at work in some 30 countries. Every week the Queen is briefed by the Joint Intelligence Committee on all secret operations. (I wonder if she briefs them on hers?)
The Windsor-Black Nobility has its own private armies, too. Among these are the Corps of Commissionaires and Defence Systems Ltd. The Corps of Commissionaires was formed, like Crown Agents, under royal sponsorship in 1859 when the British Empire was at the peak of its powers. The idea, so they said, was to find employment for soldiers coming home from the Crimean War and a number were deployed as armed and uninformed security guards at the Black Nobility buildings in the City of London. Branches followed in Australia, South and East Africa, New Zealand and Canada.
Another network had been created to post British military personnel and their families to strategic centers. After the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, the Corps of Comissionaires was reorganized and a new division was established to provide ‘specialist security functions’. More members of the military and paramilitary elite were employed and the Queen, the Patron of the Corps of Commissionaires, hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace in 1986 to celebrate the expansion. The Corp’s Board of Governors in every country were full of the loyal friends of the Queen and Prince Philip.
These included Major General David Alexander, Companion of the Bath and former Equerry and Treasurer to Philip, and Air Marshall Sir Thomas Kennedy, Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, Commander of the British Empire, the former Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Airforce in Germany. He was Aide-de-camp to the Queen between 1983 and 86. The Corps of Commissionaires is a Windsor operation through and through. It won’t be a shock to learn, therefore, that the Corps is an umbrella organization for hired killers. Some of the companies in its network are Sandline Ltd, Executive Outcomes and Defence Systems Ltd. Like the Corps of Commissionaires these are London-based and employ from the Special Air Services (SAS) and the military and police forces in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
The Corps have a permanent office in Papua New Guinea and the government there was voted from office in 1994 for negotiating a contract with Sandline International to use its mercenaries to put down a local insurgency. Sandline, in turn, subcontracted to Defense Systems Ltd (DSL), which has private and government contracts in more than 40 countries.
It is employed by almost all the City of London cartels, the Club of the Isles, and has branches in Washington, Jacksonville, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bogotá, Lima, Maputo, Kinshasa, Luanda, Port Moresby, Moscow, Kazakhstan, Jersey and Sarajevo.71
Sandline was behind the coup in Sierra Leone which removed a legitimately elected government shortly after they cancelled a $20 million a year contract with the company.72 This also triggered the inquiry into illegal arms sales to Sierra Leone by British suppliers through the Sandline network. A debt of some $16 million owed to Sandline by Sierra Leone before the coup, was paid by turning over diamond concessions to Executive Outcomes’ London underwriters Branch Energy.73 This firm is owned by Tony Buckingham of Sandline International and yet another former member of the SAS.74
He had pulled the same diamonds-for-mercenaries ‘arrangement’ on Angola and he floated these concessions on the Vancouver stock-market as a company called Diamond Works.75 Another business partner of Tony Buckingham is David Steel, the former leader of the British Liberal Party and Anti-Apartheid Movement, and a member of the Queen’s Privy Council.76 Steel’s Heritage Oil and Gas shares London offices with Branch Energy.77
In Sarajevo and the former Yugoslavia it has been working in conjunction with the Queen’s agency, the Crown Agents. Defense Systems Ltd has substantial contracts with the United Nations, the World Bank, BP Royal Dutch Shell, S. G. Warburg, Credit Suisse, Robert Fleming, Kleinwort Benson, British Airways, Cadbury Schweppes, Jardine Matheson, Rothmans, the Rothschilds, Exxon, Mobil, Amoco, Texaco, Chevron, Brown and Root, General Motors, Coca Cola, and Bechell.78
A directory of the Black Nobility if ever I saw one. Defense Systems Ltd was established in 1981, again the early years of the Thatcher regime, and its rise was meteoric thanks to its supporters and patrons. At one point in 1980 it was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hambros Bank.79 The first managing director of DSL was Alestair Morrison, Order of the British Empire, the former number two in the 22nd regiment of the SAS. The first chairman was Major General Viscount Gilbert Monckton of Brenchley, Companion of the Bath, Order of the British Empire, and former chief of staff of the British Army of the Rhine.
His father was in Winston Churchill’s cabinet and chairman of Midland Bank, and his son was editor of The Daily Telegraph (Hollinger) Sunday Magazine and advisor to Margaret Thatcher. Philip Warner of the shipping company P & 0 was another founding director of Defence Systems and a later chief executive was Richard N. Bethell, another former SAS officer.
His father, Lord Nicholas Bethell, was an agent with British Intelligence (M16) and Lord-in-Waiting to the Queen. He was involved in the manipulation of the war in Afghanistan through the 1980s and the terrorist organizations which have come from that. Defence Systems interlocks with a similar company, Control Risks, a very important part of the network founded in 1974 to serve Lloyds of London.80
The managing director of Control Risks is Major Arish Turle, former SAS, and among its directors is General Sir John Stanier, former Commander in Chief of UK land forces and Aide-de-Camp-General to the Queen. Lord Soames, the senior Tory politician and son-in-law to Winston Churchill, is another Control Risks director. Soames was ‘advisor’ to Prince Charles at the time that Princess Diana gave her outspoken interview with the BBC programme Panorama. Soames, (nicknamed ‘fatty’), questioned her mental state.
I’ve got a feeling she was rather more mentally stable than Soames, somehow. In that Panorama interview Diana spoke in a way that no insider ever has about the Windsors. According to Stephen Dorrill in his book, The Secret Conspiracy, Inside The Secret Service In The 90s, Control Risks is the most important of the private secret services operated by the Queen’s Privy Council.81
Defense Systems was bought by the American company Armor Holdings for $26 million. Armor is a front company for the George Bush circle and the idea was to give Defense Systems an ‘American’ owner to allow expansion into the United States security market. Body Armor and Equipment Inc. was a small family-owned company until it went bankrupt in 1992 and was reorganized as Armor Holdings by the introduction of Wall Street investors and Windsor associates.
One director, Richard C. Bartlett, is chairman and trustee of the Nature Conservancy of Texas which was founded by the British Privy Council in 1946. One of the companies usingDefense Systems in South America is British Petroleum who employ Control Risks. BP is one of the most unpleasant business operations on the planet and a front for the British Foreign Office, British Intelligence and The Crown.
British Petroleum is a jewel of the Brotherhood and the Windsor cartels and so it is only understandable that they would use the Brotherhood-Windsor ‘security’ network. The BP chairman, Sir David Simon, was invited to join the government of golden boy Tony Blair after he became Prime Minister on May 1st 1997. Simon is also director of the Bank of England, Grand Metropolitan, Rio Tinto, Alliance AG, and a member of the International Advisory Council of the Deutche Bank.82
His role in the government is for ‘European affairs’ and this is Blair-speak for ensuring that Britain becomes a member of the European single currency and central bank and therefore loses all power to govern itself. Simon was replaced as head of BP by Peter D. Sutherland (Bil), a notorious Brotherhood front man. Another company I should mention with regard to the manipulation of Africa and the Americas is Transparency International which is a member of the Crown Agents Foundation and has the managing director of the Crown Agents on its own board.
Transparency International is used to destabilize governments under the guise of exposing corruption.83
These interconnecting ‘security’ companies operating world-wide are the private army of the Windsors and the Black Nobility based in the City of London. Want some trouble in Africa to advance your Agenda. No problem. Where do you fancy, Rwanda? Algeria? The Congo? How about South America? Where do you fancy? Bolivia? Peru? These are part of the network being developed for a planned global coup some time in the not too distant future.
Confirmation that the Royal Family are close to the intelligence agencies and operate outside the ‘democratic’ process came in an interview given by Colonel David Stirling, the founder of the SAS, who worked for Prince Philip’s World Wide Fund for Nature in African covert operations. Before he died, he told the authors of the book who Killed Diana?,84 that in late 1974 or early 1975 he attended a dinner at a royal palace hosted by a senior member of the monarchy. Prince Philip I would guess. Prince Charles’ uncle, Lord Mountbatten, was also there along with ten representatives of British Intelligence including the heads of MI5 and MI6.
They were there in an unofficial capacity and Stirling pointed out that all military officers swore allegiance to the Queen and regarded her as the ultimate authority, more important than elected governments. The meeting was called to discuss the state of the country and the need for intervention in political affairs. The use of force was on the agenda, he said. Stirling told the meeting of his involvement in an operation to create a coup d’etat in Libya and at the time he was the leader of an organization called GB75 which was designed to take over public services in times of crisis.
John Mitchell, the chairman of the shipping company Cunard, also confirmed that he had been approached to take part in a coup because they wanted his ships. One of the orchestrators was Sir Basil Smallpiece, financial advisor to the Queen. Mitchell said:
“They asked me to take part in a coup. They said it would involve the army. They implied it had the highest backing... I went out of there in a state of shock. “85
Yet people still believe that the idea of secret groups manipulating from the shadows is the nonsensical invention of the paranoid. In fact the evidence for this, and the Windsors’ involvement, is overwhelming.
Do we really believe that this Windsor-Intelligence agency network which was planning an armed coup in Britain, would not conspire to kill Diana, Princess of Wales, when she threatened their power? Come on. What I have outlined in this chapter is a mere fraction of what there is to tell about the Windsors, the Black Nobility, fascist, reptilian family which operate from Buckingham Palace, London, on behalf of the global network of the reptilian-Brotherhood.
The Windsors have been responsible, through their global networks, for the deaths of untold millions. As the Brotherhood-controlled police won’t be knocking on the door of Buckingham Palace, it is the people who, in my view, need to impose so much pressure on the Windsors and the establishment that they have to abdicate. Then we can begin to dismantle their source of power, the enormous structure headquartered in the City of London.
The Windsors in their present mode must know the game is up and they may be planning to abdicate and move to the United States. It may even be part of the Brotherhood Agenda for them to abdicate soon, who knows? To the reptilians, the Agenda is far more important than any individual or family line, even theirs.

Uncovering the Hidden
Bronfman and the Mafia
Sells Out the United States to Russia
7/2/1996 -- Bitterly, former Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion referred to Mussolini admirer Vladimir Jabotinsky, as "Vladimir Hitler". In the process leading to the establishment of the state of Israel, the faction of the Irgun ("The Organization"), linked to Mussolini-admirer Jabotinsky, was something which most Jews, worldwide, denounced in fearful whispers. The hard-core of the Irgun were fascitsts by profession, politically allied with Mussolini, strongly objecting to Adolf Hitler's anti-Semitism, but not Hitler's other fascists crimes. At the core, they were also gangsters, partly recruited from the circles of organized crime, and notorious for gangsters' methods of settling political differences with Irgun critics. The Jewish ring reaches high into the ranks of the Executive Branch of the U.S. government, into the Congress, and extends its wicked influence into the federal court. This is not merely an Israeli spy-ring, it is a spy-ring operating under the Israeli flag, but controlled by a network of Soviet agents, centered around the notorious Armand Hammer and the Bronfman family interests. Behind the ring, is the second generation of the Irgun apparatus of the late 1940s.
The extensive history of Israeli spying against the United States is reported in return for the Russia's release of Soviet Jews, the Israeli have passed on material to the Russians as a quid pro quo. The Russians very much want to get back into the Israeli picture. They want a presence there, and the Russians are now pushing this relationship as far as they can. Highly placed sources in Israel, date former defence Minister Ariel Sharon's negotiations with Moscow to approximately 1978. The best corroborated evidence currently, is that Sharon became a Soviet asset about 1981. When discussing this problem, most intelligence experts point to Sharon's surreptitious trips into the Soviet bloc.
A brief background
Shortly after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky worked with a group of Polish Bolshevisks, to set up a now-famous Russian foreign-intelligence capability known as "The Trust". The Trust was a network of financial interests closely associated with the Communist International's apparatus outside Russia. There is one important feature of The Trust, which must be emphasized to understand the mechanics of this particular Israeli spy-ring. Most of the literature on the subject of the Trust, mistakenly, proposes that the Trust was created after the 1917 Russian Revolution. It is true, that the Trust as such was organized by Polish Bolsheviks, such as Felix Dzerzinskii, working closely with Leon Trotsky, and with the assistance of British spy Sidney Reilly and of the patron of today's Jon Speller, Commander Sergius Riis. Up to that point, such reports are factually true, but profoundly misleading.
Trust had been a pre-revolutionary associate of the vast, immensely funded operation of Alexander Helphand's (Parvus's). The point to be grasped, is that all modern radicalism in Europe and the Americas, has been established under the sponsorship of wealthy financier family- interests. The Jacobins under Robespierre, Danton, and Marat, were created and backed by powerful Swiss banking families from Geneva and Lausanne, with support from the British East India Company's Shelbourne, Pitt, and Bentham, in London. The French utopian socialists of the early 19th century, were funded and steered by the same banking circles.
The Jewish component of the funding of the Russian Mensheviks and Bolsheviks, is only an aspect of the operations centered in Parvus's networks. There are two areas of the pre-1917 map of Eastern Europe, on which to concentrate attention, to understand the Jewish-financier component of the Soviet Trust organization. The most important is the city of Odessa and nearby Bessarabia. The second is the old Livonian city of Vilna, dominated by Jewish light-industry manufacturers; it was the Vilna-based apparatus which had been the network smuggling funds to Plekhanov's circles in Switzerland, and smuggled Russian Marxist literature into Russia.
Both Sidney Reilly and Parvus originated from Odessa, and Trotsky's earliest political career was centered there. Many of the Jewish gangster-families of Canada and the United States, were immigrants from this region of Russia and Romania. Once Russia had both fission and fusion arsenals, and, by 1956, had established unchallenged control over the new colonies in Eastern Europe, Russia was prepared to restore the partnership with the Western factions of the Trust, and Western-based elements of the old Communist International apparatus.
In the English-speaking world, it is the British, Canadian, and U.S.A. variety of wealthy Soviet fellow-travellers, such as Averell and Pamela Harriman, McGeorge Bundy, Henry A. Kissinger, David Rockefeller, and so forth, which are most noticeable. The innermost thinking of the Western Trust partners can be found on Venice's island of St. George Major, the site of the Cini Foundation. The Jewish component of the Trust is run from the Venice of Parvus's sponsor, Count Volpi di Misurata, as it has been since the 13th century. The center of everything dirty penetrating Jewish circles, since the 13th century, to the present day, is the Luzzatto family of Venice: the Luzzattos, Recanati, and the Syrian Jewish families of Aleppo: the Jewish families adjunct to the phanariots of the old Byzantine and the Ottoman empires.
Russia's main satrapal power in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The power of that new Venice would flow from its dominance in international gun-smuggling, drug-running, money-laundering, and other organized criminal activities. A key included feature of Israel's "Greater" destiny is the permanent annexation and settlement of the West Bank, with 1.3 million Jews, by not later than the year 2010, according to the Sharon Plan. However, the one thing required besides land to realize the West Bank policy, is warm bodies to occupy that land. This was the primacy topic of well-publicized discussions between Trust agents Armand Hammer and Edgar Bronfman's brother Charles, and Soviet party leader Mikhail Gorbachov. This is also the crucial feature of Ariel Sharon's "Project Independence", which has brought together top Jewish financiers cum organized-crime figures, such as Hammer, Bronfman, Max Fisher, and Kenneth Bialkin, to discuss "financial investments" in Israel.
If the Israelis carry out their end of the bargain, the Russians will allow up to 500,000 Russian Jews to emigrate to Israel, if and only if, they agree to settle on the West Bank. Elaborated arrangements were afoot to bypass the traditional emigration route through Austria - and thereby prevent the majority of emigres from typically changing course for America. Edgar Bronfman admitted that as the result of his negotiations with the Soviets on behalf of the Israeli government, the Soviets are prepared to release 400,000 Soviet Jews, if the Israelis will aid them in getting technology from the United States.
The Landsky Plan
During or about 1967, with the accession of the Trust's agent, Yuri Andropov, to the leadership of the Soviet KGB, the Russians began to move directly into major drug-running operations against the West. During the same period, leading figures in the Irgun apparatus took a decision to attempt to bring their leading Jewish organizes-crime collaborators in the West to Israel, as a means of turning Israel into a major center for all aspects of organized crime, including gun and dope running and money laundering. In 1968, Israeli Finance Minister Pinchas Sapir, the creator of Israel's "offshore" banking system, sponsored a "millionaires conference" in Jerusalem. All in attendence were in one way or another connected to the Israeli intelligence apparatus responsible for the weapons and money that helped create Israel in 1948. Among them were : Louis Boyar and Sam Rothberg - Henry Crown - Max Fisher - Ray Wolfe - Shaul Eisenberg - Raphael Recanati - Philip Klutznik.
Out of this conference, the Israel Corporation was created, an official government corporation. It was later exposed for illegal laundering of funds into the Banque du Credit International, set up by Tibor Rosenbaum and Pinchas Sapir. The first mobster to come to Israel was Joe Stacher, Lansky's life-long associate. Stacher, who faced five years in prison in the United States, was brought over at the instigation of Haim Bassoc, a leading member of the National Religious Party, and his close friend, Rabbi Menachem Porush, a leader of Agudat Israel. These organizations were leading factional allies of Menachem Begin's Herut party, and backers of the terrorist Gush Emunim settlement sect. Stacher and Landsky began heavily funding several Agudat Yeshivas, and became backers of West Bank settlements.
The public embrace of leading international mobsters by political and religious leaders in Israel was only that, a public display of a long-term relationship dating from the origins of the Israeli state itself. Israel's creation following World War II depended upon the help of British intelligence's Special Operations Executive (SOE) under Col. William Stephenson.
Stephenson incorporated these mobsters into the SOE's network, on the original pretext that they would be useful in anti-Nazi activities in the United States and Italy. Stephenson's top aide in the project was Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield, who, although a Canadian subject, became the principal recruiter for the FBI's Division 5 counterintelligence section. Bloomfield, of the elite Order of Malta (Hospitallers), until his death in 1984. It was precisely this network that was utilized for the post-war creation of Israel. Exemplary of the network was the Sonneborn Institute. The express purpose of the Institute was to provide the Haganah, and later, the Irgun, with weapons and money. The leading personnel of the Institute included :
Henry Morgenthau, Jr. Former Secretary of the Treasury. He was coordinating Sonneborn fundraising and illegal money-transfer. Teddy Kollek. Former Haganah chief in New York. Later, he became the mayor of Jerusalem. Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield. He supervised the organized crime networks, he also served for SOE's Division 5 of the FBI. Adolf Schwimmer. He functioned as on-the ground smuggling coordinator. Later, he founded Israeli Aircraft Industries, a major weapons conduit for Israel to this day. He was also a business partner of Shaul Eisenberg, the main coordinator of Israeli gun-running activity today.
The same networks and routes utilized for bootlegging, after prohibition, were used for drug trafficking. The drug supply was that previously established by Arnold Rothstein in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
The Landscam Scandal
The real story behing the landscam scandal broke in the Israeli press. Two Israeli land dealers, Edmund Levy and Ze'ev Golan, were accused of forging a document allowing them to sell the land of a Palestinian family. The plan directed "Gush Emunim" organization in setting up sattelite settlements on the edge of older ones, thus enabling them to portray these as merely extensions of existing settlements, not new ones. This is exactly what is happening now inspite the peace accord.
In 1979, an Israeli high court ruled that West Bank land could be bought privately by individual Israelis. In addition it delivered a ruling that would rapidly expand the amount of land in Israeli hands. That process enable Israel to retain today 64% of the land surface in the West Bank and 40% of the land surface in Gaza, even after the redeployment of January 1996. (The activity of land confiscations by the military occupation apparatus is also included in the figure).
Israel is seeking to completely redeem Jerusalem. The estimate of funds necessary has been cited as $ 100 million. Contributions to this plot are coming from : 1- Tefahot Mortgage Bank 2- North American Bank of Israel 3- United Mizrahi Bank 4- Cyril Stein 5- PEF (israel Endowment Funds) 6- Robert Jacobs 7- Abraham Dwek 8- Albert Kaplan 9- Dr. Irving Moscowitz 10- Terry Risenhoover 11- Douglas Krieger 12- Pastor James Deloach 13- Dr. Charles Monroe 14- Michael and Barbara Ledeen 15- Lambert Dolphin 16- Pat Robertson 17- Joseph Churba 18- Stanley Goldfoot 19- Yuval Ne'eman 20- Geula Cohen 21- Gershon Solomon 22- Eduardo Recanati 23- Dov Schilansky 24- Yisrael Medad 25- Asher Kaufman
Israel is unwilling to accept any kind of negotiations regarding the final status of Jerusalem in the current peace talks.
Whose ally is Israel ?
On Nov. 21, 1985, the American people were informed that a U.S. Naval Intelligence specialist named Jonathan Jay Pollard had been apprehended that day by the FBI, at the Israeli embassy in Washington. Pollard had been confronted by the FBI three days earlier, with solid proof that he was spying for Israel. Pollard was an Israeli agent. But he may or may not have known that he was actually a Soviet agent. The unit of the Israeli secret service for which Pollard worked, sought to obtain U.S. secrets for the purpose of passing them on to the Russians. Pollard was carrying the day of his arrest 60 classified documents relating to U.S. Intelligence-gathering operations of the anti-terrorist Alert Center.
Since 1976 the Israeli secret services assembled several of its top operatives in the U.S. congress and defence establishment to form a network inside USA. Three overlapping institutions currently used by the Israeli intelligence: 1- The Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs (JINSA). 2- Americans for a safe Israel (ASI). 3- Individual cells in the National Security Council, the U.S. State Department, and the U.S. Justice Department, and a network within the American press. Some of these figures are Elliot Abrams, Bernard Kalb, Peter Rodman, Judge Abraham Sofaer.
Anti-Defamation League ADL
The Anti-Defamation League ADL founded in 1908 by Canon Edward West, a public relations division of B'nai B'rith. The ADL is considered to be the most powerful organization in the USA. Las Vegas businessman Morris Barney Dalitz, one of the most important figures of the ADL is one of the most important figures in organized crime over a period of sixty years, and as a lifetime right-hand man to organized crime's 20th-century, Meyer Lansky, known as the godfather of organized crime.
Dalitz was well aware of the fact that the ADL was, from its founding, a powerful secret arm of the National Crime Syndicate. Without the ADL's undaunted "public relations" work on behalf of organized crime, the USA would have never been flooded with illegal drugs and gangsters.
On the Canadian side, the booze was manufactured by the Bronfman Gang, led by Sam and Abe Bronfman, second generation Romanian immigrants whose father had been brought over to Canada by the B'nai B'rith allied Baron de Hirsch Fund. Their pure drug company was established with the help of the Hudson's Bay Company to manufacture illegal Whiskey. By the beginning of the 1980's, drug money-narco-dollars- had already became the primary source of liquidity to fuel the stock market and real estate speculative bubbles facilitated by the Carter and Reagan administration's deregulation of the banking and brokerage industries. As the power of drug money grew, so too did the political and financial clout of the ADL.
Since December 1985, the FBI admitted that a "Jewish underground" had emerged as a serious terrorist threat to the United States of America.

Did `Mega' Bucks Help Sharon Steal Israeli Elections?
by Scott Thompson and Jeffrey Steinberg
A small group of American and Canadian mega-billionaires, tied to organized crime and right-wing Zionist causes, has joined in the effort to steal the Jan. 28 Israeli elections, on behalf of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who is committed to drowning any Israel-Palestine peace process in a sea of blood. The Mega Group, founded in 1991 by Charles and Edgar Bronfman, Michael Steinhardt, Max Fisher, and several dozen other multi-billionaires, meets secretly twice a year, and, since its founding, has sought to impose its top-down control over the "alphabet soup" of pro-Israel political action committees, self-styled civil rights organizations, and tax-exempt charities. Among the Mega Group's institutional power bases are the World Jewish Congress, the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish American Organizations, and the United Jewish Fund—a recent merger of the major American and Canadian Jewish charities, disbursing annual gross contributions of nearly $3 billion.
According to one Israeli source, the group has expanded in recent years, and now is made up of over 50 American and Canadian super-rich Zionist activists. The dominant figures in the group—the Bronfman brothers, Steinhardt, and Fisher—all have longstanding personal and family organized-crime pedigrees, tracing back to the Meyer Lansky National Crime Syndicate. The Canada-based Bronfman gang, headed by Edgar and Charles' father Sam, and by Max Fisher, got their start as bootleggers during Prohibition. Fisher was a leader of the Detroit-based Purple Gang, which, in collusion with Moe Dalitz's Cleveland-centered "Jewish Navy," smuggled Bronfman's illegal booze across the Great Lakes from Canada into the Midwest. The Bronfman family motto, which applies to most of the Mega Group, is: "From rags, to rackets, to riches, to respectability."
Michael Steinhardt, like Edgar and Charles Bronfman, is the son of a Meyer Lansky lieutenant, "Red" Steinhardt, who was the National Crime Syndicate's number-one jewel fence. "Red" Steinhardt was also a partner with Lansky in the Havana casinos prior to Castro's takeover, and was also affiliated with the Genovese organized-crime family. According to Michael Steinhardt's autobiography, it was his father's ill-gotten gains that put him through the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business; and it was syndicate loot that started him on a successful career as a Wall Street speculator and hedge-fund manager.
For the past 15 years, Steinhardt has been one of Presidential wanna-be Sen. Joseph Lieberman's (D-Conn.) biggest boosters, having founded the neo-conservative Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), and promoted Lieberman as the group's poster boy.
Steinhardt grabbed headlines in January 2001, when he played a pivotal role in conning President Bill Clinton into granting a Presidential pardon to Russian Mafiya "Godfather" Marc Rich, one of Steinhardt's longtime business partners. Rich was a fugitive from U.S. Justice Department indictments for tax evasion and trading with the enemy (Iran). As EIR reported on Jan. 10, Rich is another source of dirty money flows into the Sharon camp, through his secret Russian Mafiya partner, Grigori Loutchansky, among others.
Mafiya Damage Control
In a Jan. 15 interview with a Washington, D.C.-based journalist, Steinhardt boasted about his recent intervention to sabotage the electoral campaign of Israeli Labor Party Chairman Amram Mitzna, which was also intended to control the damage being done by the spreading scandal over the Likud party's ties to organized crime, into which Steinhardt and the whole Mega Group could be swept.
On Jan. 12, Steinhardt said, he had had a private dinner with Ariel Sharon. While claiming that he does not support either major party in Israel, Steinhardt did insist, that the Jan. 28 elections must produce another "national unity government," along the lines of the coalition that Sharon formed in 2001, in which Labor Party leaders Shimon Peres and Binyamin Ben-Eliezer held the Foreign and Defense portfolios. Their participation with serial war-criminal Sharon, gave him and and his right-wing thug allies, 20 months in which they could tear apart the entire Oslo peace process, brutally exterminate much of the Palestinian Authority, and achieve Sharon's ultimate goal: the "ethnic cleansing" to remove all Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza.
Mitzna has repeatedly stated that he will not join a national unity government with the mobbed-up murderers of Likud, and will press for Israeli authorities to get to the bottom of the Sharon-Likud-Mafiya election theft scandals. Whatever the outcome on Jan. 28, it is widely acknowledged inside Israel, that the scandals have denied Sharon the landslide victory he was hoping for. Mitzna, in rejecting the national unity scheme, is paving the way for a near-term political victory, uncontaminated by compromise with Sharon. The organized-crime/Likud scandal has become too big to bury, and any Sharon government—minus Labor—would likely be short-lived and paralyzed by scandals.
This is something that the Mega Group—in particular Steinhardt and Rich—cannot tolerate.
Steinhardt and Rich
Steinhardt also admitted to the Washington journalist, that while in Israel, he met with Marc Rich, where they joined in promoting the Mega Group's favorite "charity," Birthright Israel, to which, he acknowledged, Rich is a major donor. Birthright Israel, founded by Steinhardt, and co-chaired by Charles Bronfman, is a U.S.-based charity, with "501(c)3" tax-exempt status, which sends Jewish youths, between 16 and 26, to Israel for indoctrination, to convince them to "make aliya"—i.e., to take up permanent residence.
But a closer look by EIR investigators at Birthright Israel raises some important questions about what the "charity" is actually all about. Among the most disturbing pieces of the picture is its close links to an Israeli-based "charity," the Mikhail Chernoy Foundation, a tax-exempt front, set up by one of the most notorious of the Russian Mafiya figures residing in Israel. The website of the Chernoy Foundation boasts that it is involved in joint projects with Birthright Israel.
Mikhail Chernoy is a major figure in the Russian Mafiya, whose "business" activities have been associated with Benya Stilitz's attempted takeover of Alpha Bank in Russia, and earlier Mafiya moves to corner the Russian aluminum sector, in league with none other than Marc Rich.
Stilitz is particularly close with Russian Mafiya don Grigori Lerner (a.k.a. Zvi Ben-Ari), who is scrutinized in Jeffrey Robinson's The Merger: The Conglomeration of International Organized Crime (New York: The Overlook Press, 2000). According to Robinson, after Lerner spent 18 months in jail in Russia for fraud, following a most unusual extradition from Switzerland, Lerner, in 1995, was permitted by the Israelis to found the Israeli-Russian Finance Co., accused of having been involved in laundering foreign funds.
Robinson reports that Lerner set up a string of shell companies around the globe, including in Panama, the Caribbean, Mauritius, Luxembourg, and Cyprus. Lerner became a major money launderer with the permission of the Israeli government, where there are no laws against money laundering. Lerner is also known to have given the former Israeli Minister of Trade and Industry Natan Sharansky, $100,000; through Sharansky, Lerner made approaches with his largesse to the Likud and other parties.
Mikhail Chernoy's Foundation was created in June 1, 2001, and is seen by Israeli investigators as a public relations ruse. Chernoy claims that it was created after the terrorist bombing of the Dolphinarium Disco in Tel Aviv, to aid the 150 survivors and families of the 20 dead, mostly Russian immigrants. The foundation website boasts that American youths whom Birthright Israel brings to Israel, have met with these bombing victims. One item on the Chernoy Foundation website reported: "The emotional meeting [between the Birthright Israel youths and the Dolphinarium survivors] was moderated by representatives of the Mikhail Chernoy Foundation, which has been assisting Dolphinarium victims from the very first night of the attack. The Foundation financed a book and is producing a movie."
Mikhail Chernoy's brother Lev has been a prime target of the Swiss investigation into the Russian Mafiya since he attempted to take over the Russian aluminum industry—allegedly with the assistance of Marc Rich. Also, according to Robinson, Swiss investigators believe that Lev Chernoy has ties with the Mega-linked "Russian oligarch" Boris Berezovsky, who is accused of siphoning $200 million in hard currency out of Aeroflot accounts and into Switzerland. Both Chernoy and Berezovsky are suspected of involvement with the Bank of New York, which laundered billions of dollars in hard currency and state assets out of the Soviet Union during the early 1990s. According to Robinson, the person behind many of these murky deals was Likud campaign contributor Grigori Loutchansky. A recent international law enforcement probe of the Bank of New York operations has turned up evidence that Marc Rich was a silent partner of Loutchansky's in the Nordex operations, which started out as a KGB money-laundering front in the late 1980s.
According to the book by the late Robert I. Friedman, Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mob Has Invaded America (Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 2000), Natan Sharansky, the former Soviet refusenik, head of the Russian emigré party Yisrael B'Aliyah, and a Sharon Cabinet minister, took millions of dollars from Loutchansky. Sharansky then introduced Loutchansky to former Likud Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is now Sharon's Foreign Minister. The Israeli press reported at the time, that Netanyahu took $1.5-5 million from Loutchansky, and the contributions to the Likud are never known to have stopped.
In 1994, new Israeli election laws were passed, making it a crime to accept foreign campaign contributions.
Show Me the Money
With Steinhardt and Rich running around Israel, promoting a pre-election revolt against Labor Party Chairman and lead candidate Mitzna, over his refusal to entertain the idea of a unity government with Sharon—the only thing that would save the Likud thug from a near-term political fall—another question must be asked: Is Birthright Israel, like so many other U.S.-based tax-exempt charities, serving as an illegal siphon into Sharon's and Likud's coffers on the eve of the election?
This is a matter that urgently needs to be taken up by Israeli and American prosecutors. While there is no "smoking gun" document, proving that Birthright Israel is funneling cash into the right wing, a careful review of the fund's U.S. 990 Internal Revenue Service filings poses some disturbing questions. According to the most recent filing available, covering the year 2000, in that year alone, Birthright Israel, with U.S. status as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt charity, took in nearly $50 million in contributions, from an undisclosed number of donors. In the same year, its total expenses—including sending U.S. students to Israel—cost under $5 million, leaving an unaccounted-for balance of $45 million!
The 990 forms also revealed that Birthright Israel, more than any other "charitable" agency, is dominated by the Mega Group's known members. Of the 12 names listed in the IRS filing as board members of Birthright Israel, at least 8 are publicly identified members of the Mega Group (based on a lone published profile of the group, that appeared in the Wall Street Journal in 1998). There is no reason to believe that the other four directors are not members as well, but this has not been confirmed, and most members of the super-secret steering committee are chary about discussing their affiliation, or anything else about Mega.
Who's Who in the Birthright Israel Foundation
The two co-chairmen of Birthright Israel are Mega co-founder and booze baron Charles R. Bronfman and Michael Steinhardt.
Other board members include:
Leonard Abramson, the founder of the health maintenance organization, U.S. Healthcare, which he sold to Aetna Insurance, pocketing $990 million on the deal. One Mega project that Abramson formed—at the Ariel Sharon's suggestion after his 2001 election as Israeli Prime Minister—was a group euphemistically called "Emet" (Hebrew for "Truth"). In a March 13, 2001 dispatch, the Jewish Telegraph Agency reported that Sharon wanted to launch a propaganda campaign to overturn the peace process, and the result was Emet. This black propaganda outfit for a "Greater Israel" has dismayed the Israeli peace lobby, because of its support for hard-line policies, such as those backed by Morton Klein and his Zionist Organization of America. Emet has both sent students to be indoctrinated at Tel Aviv University, and has worked with Birthright Israel International students.
Edgar Bronfman, Sr.. The brother of Charles R. Bronfman is also a member of Mega. Their father, Sam Bronfman, was a leading figure in the "Jewish Navy," which brought high-ticket booze from Canada into the U.S. during Prohibition, before "going legit," by building a second fortune in distilling, among other activities. Edgar Bronfman took over the World Jewish Congress (WJC) following the death of Nahum Goldmann, and transformed the international organization into a political dirty tricks agency, which complemented his personal efforts to prop up the dying Communist regimes of Eastern Europe, especially East Germany. Bronfman's Seagrams Liquor had negotiated lucrative business deals with the Communist Party bosses of East Germany and the Soviet Union. Bronfman had also promoted what syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak labeled the "grain for Jews" deal between Moscow and Israel, which steered hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jewish emigrés into Israel (including a hefty percentage of Russian Mafiya criminals).
Ronald S. Lauder, heir to the Estée Lauder fortune. Lauder has used his millions to fund right-wing projects in the United States and Israel. According to a feature in the Jan. 29, 1996 issue of Jewish Week, based on a special investigation by reporters from Jewish Week and the Israeli daily Ha'aretz, Lauder had contributed both funds and other support to the Likud, when Netanyahu was running for Prime Minister (see "A Bigger Scandal: Illegal U.S. Funding of Sharon's Likud," EIR, Jan. 24). Among these illicit funding channels, was the Jerusalem-based Shalem Center, which Lauder has various founded, funded, and chaired; another Lauder conduit was the short-lived Israel Research Foundation. Lauder has been associated with Russian oligarch Berezovsky, who is one of the chief middlemen between "Godfather" Marc Rich and the Russian Mafiya dons. The Ronald S. Lauder Foundation, which dispurses some $10 million a year, has received sufficient contributions from the family cosmetics fortune to maintain a slush fund of around $20 million.
Marc Rich, remains in Zug, Switzerland, despite his pardon. Rich's ties to the Russian Mafiya pre-date his flight from U.S. law enforcement. It was Rich who sponsored the original Russian Mafiya immigration to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, shortly after the U.S. Congress passed the Jackson-Vanik Amendment in 1974, linking all U.S.-Soviet trade to Moscow's treatment of Soviet Jewry, including emigration.
Leslie Wexner, another co-founder of Mega with Charles Bronfman. Among his several businesses, the best known is Victoria's Secret lingerie. Wexner is a board member of Lord Conrad Black's Hollinger International, Inc. media empire, which turned Israel's main English-language daily, the Jerusalem Post, into a mouthpiece for Sharon. Through Hollinger, Wexner rubs elbows with former British Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher, Sir Henry Kissinger, and U.S. Defense Policy Board Chairman Richard Perle (a.k.a. "The Prince of Darkness"), who loudly advocates a "Clash of Civilizations."
Gary Winnick is the founder of the telecom firm, Global Crossing, whose Jan. 28, 2002 bankruptcy was the fourth largest in U.S. history, with $12 billion in debt. Before this crash, Winnick, who was described in Fortune magazine as having "spent like a Roman emperor," dumped his own holdings in the firm and ended up with an estimated $250-500 million. According to a Feb. 11, 2002 BBC News wire on Winnick: "Global Crossing's ... main Congress beneficiary, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) asked the Federal Communications Commission to encourage the development of undersea cables"—undersea fiber optic cables was Global Crossing's main asset.
Lew Wasserman is the former head of the Hollywood entertainment conglomerate Music Corporation of America (MCA), one of the Lansky National Crime Syndicate's first forays into the mass entertainment business. Wasserman was closely linked to Chicago-based crime syndicate lawyer Sidney Korshak, who was credited with consolidating the marriage between the mob and Hollywood.
Other Mega-linked Birthright Israel board members include: S. Daniel Abraham, Bonnie Lipton, Marlene Post, Arthur J. Samburg, and Lynn Schusterman.

The Anti-Defamation League's recent report has spotlighted anti-Jewish and anti-Israel biases in leading AI models, such as GPT (OpenAI) and Llama (Meta). With rigorous pre-deployment testing and improved training data as recommended solutions, this landmark study could shape the future of AI development.

Introduction to AI Bias
Artificial Intelligence (AI) bias is a critical issue that has garnered significant attention in recent years. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) recently released a comprehensive report on April 1, 2025, highlighting inherent biases against Jewish and Israeli groups in prominent AI models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama. According to the report, Llama displayed the most pronounced biases, while GPT and Claude also exhibited substantial bias, particularly relating to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The findings suggest a need for stringent examination of training data and rigorous pre-deployment testing to mitigate these biases. Such discoveries underscore the transformative nature of AI technologies and their susceptibility to societal prejudices [source].
Bias in AI models can manifest in various ways, often reflecting the prejudices present in the data on which they are trained. This can lead to outputs that systematically favor or prejudice against individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, or other characteristics. The ADL's report serves as a wake-up call to developers and policymakers about the potential ramifications of AI bias. Anti-Jewish and anti-Israel biases noted in major AI models could exacerbate societal divides and misinformation, potentially influencing public discourse and reinforcing stereotypes. The call for action emphasizes the necessity for developers to adopt more diverse and representative training datasets and enhance algorithmic transparency [source].
That AI tool of is a Instrument of pressure and terror for dissents and much worst than that it is fully complicit in a ongoing Genocide without no end in sight.
So you tell me that AI is for good?

Just days after Hamas attacked Israel, Trump, in a video posted from his Mar-a-Lago estate here, declared: “I kept Israel safe. Nobody else will. Nobody else can. And I know all of the players — they can’t do it.”
Trump did lay out a few markers in the three weeks that followed the Hamas attack. He said on Oct. 11 that a future Trump administration would “fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,” while telling the Republican Jewish Coalition later that month that Hamas fighters “will burn forever in the eternal pit of hell." That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.

In the concluding paragraph of the Treatise on Man, he says that the functions of animals follow from the disposition of their organs, like those of a “clock, or other automaton” (AT XI 202, CSM I 108). In the Meditations, the meditator wonders whether beneath the cloaks and gowns he sees outside his window there are humans or automata (AT VII 32, CSM II 21). Most memorably, in the Discourse Descartes explains how an automaton with a soul may be distinguished from one without (AT VI 55–56, CSM I 139–40).
Automaton and machine, though allied, are distinct concepts. A Cartesian machine is a collection of bodies whose operations can be explained on mechanical principles alone: its parts are just parts of extension, and their motions are entirely subordinated to the laws of nature. (Human machines are built to serve human ends, including the “banausic” end of entertainment, sometimes by imitation; the machines of the Treatise on Man are said to be designed by God to imitate our figure and motions as do the figures and motions of the statues in the gardens of Saint-Germain, noted by Descartes in the Treatise.)
An automaton, on the other hand, is a self-mover, the proximate cause of certain of its own changes. The classical automata of antiquity were self-movers but not in every case machines. Aristotelians hold that animals are automata: self-movement distinguishes living things among natural things. For Descartes, the issue is not whether animals are self-movers, but how to accommodate that fact in a mechanistic physiology. He can be seen to have divided the problem into two: (1) the self-movement of the animal during its lifetime, which includes nutrition and growth as well as locomotion; (2) the special self-movement at the beginning of an individual's life, which consists in the self-assembly of its parts. Descartes addressed the first problem in the Treatise on Man; the second he considered at greatest length in the Description of the Human Body.

State of Fear – Why Politicized Science is Dangerous
So if we look at the whole picture with the scripted codes and what they are telling us and put it into context to the overwhelmingly upcoming of religious phrases and nationalities like the gospel of doom or that Trump becomes the new Messiah to rebuild the third temple for the rebirth of the antichrist whats highly welcomes by christians for there endtimes game and the Rebirth of Jesus, than we see the rising
I’m so sick and tired of this show meanwhile it is so Obviously artificial that „only the one-eyed can be the king of the blinds“. The whole world transformed to a Realitysoap theatre with constant Selfmade „natural events of doom“ and new crusades pushed by oligarch’s and fanatics to sale us the new religious model - clearly Targeted with AI for the greater god.
The free world sheeps need a god because without a god our world transform to Sodom und Gomorrah. Really?! So all this extrem inhuman policies come from Bill Gates, WEF, the Rockefeller ect. and Trump is a big supporter of all of that The so called Philanthropists putting millions of dollars to reform our system to hell and than magically they come along with the all time favorite final one and only solution.
Now its humanity + aka Transhumance
But it’s not on us! Not we are the problem we are good and noble humankind’s. But They’re as well - they Weaponizing our food, weather, water, healthcare, sex and education, technologies and religion against us in the meantime they haven’t just a touch of divineness in themselves or any touch of spirit… its not about real religion its all about perception and power to have the skills to play god so you need a enemy in every direction and step… thats the reason for the whole black and white, heaven and hell game and because nothing is backed on Reality we the people can read between the lines.
If you really believe in the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, as god will? Than we have to stop this religious rape of faith!
