Pro Israeli Jews in the Bush:  ie, warmonger Paul Wolfowitz

I think that people who think that the Jews run the country are overstating the Jewish influence.  There are all kinds of web pages on the internet maintained by people who I would classify as Jew phobics.

That being said, there can be little doubt that pro-Israeli Jews in the Bush administration are having an influence on promoting the war in Iraq which I oppose.

I think that the support of Israel has a strong foundation in the American population as whole because the majority of Americans are Christians and Christians are supportive of Israel because Jerusalem is where Jesus is expected to reign someday.  Consequently, it is hard for most Americans to extract their religious beliefs from their political beliefs when it comes to Israel.

I think it is important in all major political policy decisions to know and understand the motives of the people who are promoting one form of action over another.  In the case of Iraq, there can be little doubt that the pro Israeli Jews in the Bush administration have a bias toward promoting war.

Members of Paul Wolfowitz's father's family were killed in the holocaust.  This is undeniably a significant influence in his world view.

The key to seeing the level of the Israeli lobby's influence on the George Walker Bush (Bush Jr) Administration is watching the appointments of the following Israelis and pro-Israel Jewish advisors to posts in the White House or other Executive Branch Positions.

Note: The Washington Institute for Near East Policy is one of the Israeli lobby's "think tank." Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.

1). Richard Perle----One of Bush's foreign policy advisors, he is the chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy.  He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. 

2). Paul Wolfowitz----Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle's  Defense Policy Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military. His sister lives in Israel. Wolfowitz is the number two leader within the administration behind this Iraq war mongering.

3). Douglas Feith----Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon. He is a close associate of Perle and served as his Special Counsel. Like Perle and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel extremist, who has advocated anti-Arab policies in the past. He is closely associated with the extremist group, the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks Jews that don't agree with its extremist views. Feith frequently speaks at ZOA conferences. Feith runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which only has one International office, in Israel. The majority of their legal work is representing Israeli interests. His firm's own website stated, prior to his appointment, that Feith "represents Israeli Armaments Manufacturer."  Feith basically represents the Israeli War Machine. Feith, like Perle and Wolfowitz, are campaigning hard for this Israeli proxy war against Iraq.

4). Edward Luttwak----Member of the National Security Study Group of the Department of Defence at the Pentagon. Luttwak is reportedly an Israeli citizen and has taught in Israel. He frequently writes for Israeli and pro-Israeli newspapers and journals. Luttwak is an Israeli extremist whose main theme in many of his articles is the necessity of the U.S. waging war against Iraq.

5). Henry Kissinger-----One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle. For detailed information about Kissinger's evil past, read Seymour Hersch's book (Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House). Kissinger had a part in the Watergate crimes, Southeast Asia mass murders, Chile dictatorship, and more recently served as Serbian Dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Advisor. He consistently advocates going to war against Iraq. Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon of the U.S.

6). Dov Zakheim----Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for the Department of Defense. He is an ordained rabbi and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship. Zakheim attended Jew's College in London and became an ordained Orthodox Jewish Rabbi in 1973. He was adjunct professor at New York's Jewish Yeshiva University. Zakheim is close to the Israeli lobby.

7). Kenneth Adelman-----One of many Pentagon Advisors, Adelman also sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle, and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supports going to war against Iraq. Adelman frequently is a guest on Fox News, and often expresses extremist and often ridiculus anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. Through his hatred or stupidity, he actually called Arabs "anti-Semitic" on Fox News (11/28/2001), when he could have looked it up in the dictionary to find out that Arabs bydefinition are Semites.

8). I. Lewis Libby -----Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff. The chief pro-Israel Jewish advisor to Cheney, it helps explains why Cheney is so gun-ho to invade Iraq. Libby is longtime associate of Wolfowitz. Libby was also a lawyer for convicted felon and Israeli spy Mark Rich, whom Clinton pardoned, in his last days as president.

9). Robert Satloff----U.S. National Security Council Advisor, Satloff was the executive director of the Israeli lobby's "think tank," Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.

10). Elliott Abrams-----National Security Council Advisor. He previously worked at Washington-based "Think Tank" Ethics and Public Policy Center. During the Reagan Adminstration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State, handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an important role in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. He also actively deceived three congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony. Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. A year later, former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State Department.

11). Marc Grossman-----Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs.  He was Director General of the Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources at the Department of State. Grossman is one of many of the pro-Israel Jewish officials from the Clinton Administration that Bush has promoted to higher posts.

12). Richard Haass-----Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Ambassador at large. He is also Director of National Security Programs and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the first Bush (Sr) Administration who sat on the National Security Council, and who consistently advocates going to war against Iraq. Haass is also a member of the Defense Department's National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.

13). Robert Zoellick-----U.S. Trade Representative, a cabinet-level position. He is also one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Bush (Jr) Administration who advocated invading Iraq and occupying a portion of the country in order to set up setting up a Vichy-style puppet government. He consistently advocates going to war against Iraq.

14). Ari Fleischer----Official White House Spokesman for the Bush (Jr) Administration. Prominent in the Jewish community, some reports state that he holds Israeli citizenship. Fleischer is closely connected to the extremist Jewish group called the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidics, who follow the Kabala, and hold very extremist and insulting views of non-Jews. Fleischer was the co-president of Chabad's Capitol Jewish Forum. He received the Young Leadership Award from the American Friends of Lubavitch in October, 2001.

15). James Schlesinger-----One of many Pentagon Advisors, Schlesinger also sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supports going to war against Iraq. Schlesinger is also a commissioner of the Defense Department's National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.

16). Mel Sembler-----President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States. A Prominent Jewish Republican and Former National Finance Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The Export-Import Bank facilitates trade relationships between U.S. businesses and foreign countries, specifically those with financial problems.

17). Michael Chertoff ----Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, at the Justice Department.

18). Joshua Bolten----Bush's Chief Policy Director, banker and former legislative aide. Prominent in the Jewish community.

19). Steve Goldsmith----Senior Advisor to the President, and Bush's Jewish domestic policy advisor. He also serves as liaison in the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (White House OFBCI) within the Executive Office of the President. He was the former mayor of Indianapolis.  He is also friends with Israeli Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert and often visits Israel to coach mayors on privatization initiatives.

20). Adam Goldman-----White House's Special Liaison to the Jewish Community.

21). Joseph Gildenhorn-----Bush Campaign's Special Liaison to the Jewish Community. He was the DC finance chairman for the Bush campaign, as well as campaign coordinator, and former ambassador to Switzerland.

22). Christopher Gersten-----Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Administration for Children and Families at HHS. Gersten was the former Executive Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Husband of Labor Secretary, Linda Chavez, and reportedly very pro-Israel. Their children are being raised Jewish.

23). Mark Weinberger-----Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Policy.

24). Samuel Bodman-----Deputy Secretary of Commerce. He was the Chairman and CEO of Cabot Corporation in Boston, Massachusetts.

25). Bonnie Cohen-----Under Secretary of State for Management.

26). Ruth Davis-----Director of Foreign Service Institute, who reports to the Office of Under Secretary for Management. This Office is responsible for training all Department of State staff (including ambassadors).

27). Lincoln Bloomfield-----Assistant Secretary of State for Political Military Affairs.

28). Jay Lefkowitz-----General Counsel of the Office of Budget and Management.

29). David Frum-----White House speechwriter.

30). Ken Melman-----White House Political Director.

32). Colin Powell-----Secretary of State, ex-chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, of Jamaican origin, he has one Jewish ancestor on his father's side.  He grew up in a heavily Jewish-populated neighborhood in New York, and speaks Yiddish. The first day of being picked (12/16/2000) he said he wanted to toughen sanctions on Iraq, and will work to "re-energize the sanctions regime," even though he knows the embargo has killed 2 million Iraqi civilians.

As Bush seeks diverse cabinet, Jews left out of mix

MATTHEW E. BERGER

Jewish Telegraphic Agency

WASHINGTON -- As President-elect George W. Bush unveiled his cabinet over the last few weeks, the buzzword has been diversity.

A Republican Party with a reputation for appointing mostly white males welcomed several members of ethnic minorities to the administration's highest offices.

Jews, however, were left out of the mix.

The omission has left several Jewish leaders concerned about their relationship with the new White House, but most dismiss the notion that Jews must have a representative in the cabinet.

"The Jewish community has graduated beyond the point where, at every election, we have to hold a stopwatch and count how many people cross the finish line," said Jason Isaacson, director of government and international affairs at the American Jewish Committee.

Jews make up 10 percent of the Senate, and there are 27 Jews in the 435-member House of Representatives. Two Jews sit on the Supreme Court.

With a few notable exceptions, almost all the Jewish political officials are Democrats. That's not surprising, as American Jews are predominantly Democratic and voted overwhelmingly for Vice President Al Gore in November.

Bush, on the other hand, made unprecedented overtures to Arab-American voters, especially in states like Michigan where they are an important constituency.

Nonetheless, some Jewish leaders expected a seat at Bush's cabinet table.

Five Jews served in President Clinton's cabinet. And while no Jews served in the cabinets of Reagan or Bush per se, there were four in President Carter's cabinet and several in the Ford, Nixon, Johnson and Kennedy administrations.

Ira Forman, executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Council, said the absence of a Jew in the cabinet does not bode well for the community's influence with the Bush White House.

"Either their circle of friends doesn't include Jews or the Jews just didn't get picked," Forman said. "I think it is the former."

Marshall Breger, who served as President Reagan's liaison to the Jewish community, said the Republican Party does not believe ethnic or other minority groups hold entitlements to a cabinet seat.

"That is not the rhetoric in the Republican world," Breger said. "You don't have interest groups demanding cabinet offices like trophies."

But the absence of Jews is made more striking by the evident pains Bush took to diversify his cabinet. Among his selections were two African-Americans, Gen. Colin Powell and Rod Paige; an Arab-American, outgoing Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-Mich.); and several women.

The only Jew to receive serious consideration was Paul Wolfowitz, considered for defense secretary before Bush selected Donald Rumsfeld. Wolfowitz had served as undersecretary of defense in the administration of the elder Bush and was foreign policy adviser for the Republican campaign last year.

Linda Chavez, Bush's selection for labor secretary, is married to Christopher Gersten, a former executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, and their children have been raised Jewish.

Ari Fleischer, who was named White House press secretary last week, said Wednesday that any criticism of the Bush White House's composition is premature because several important positions remain vacant.

Fleischer will be one of several prominent Jewish faces in the White House, even if they will not hold cabinet rank. Former Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith, who served as Bush's domestic policy adviser during the campaign, is expected to receive a White House job.

In addition, Joshua Bolten will be Bush's deputy chief of staff for policy.

Several Jewish leaders cited Fleischer's appointment as a significant one, as he will be the administration's mouthpiece and will have the president's ear.

"There are enough people in the administration and in the office of the president to ensure that Jewish concerns are going to be closely articulated," said Breger, a professor of law at Catholic University.

He said it is too early to claim that Jews have been left out of the loop because sub-cabinet positions, such as undersecretaries and assistant secretaries, have not been filled. Breger also said organizations like the RJC have access to all levels of the incoming administration.

"People are looking for a chance to claim that they have been dissed," he said. "We haven't seen any signs of it."

While acknowledging disappointment among the Jewish community, Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said the issue is not that important.

"We, as a community, once we broke that initial ceiling, have never been in favor of quotas," Foxman said.

But while it may not be a make-or-break issue for the community's relationship with the Bush camp, several Jewish leaders said they were saddened to see no Jew named to the cabinet. Ironically, this comes just after Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.), Gore's running mate, became the first Jew chosen as a major party's vice presidential candidate, seemingly heralding a new level of acceptance for Jews in American political life.

Phil Baum, executive director of the American Jewish Congress, said it was a little "distressing" that Bush "sought to diversify the cabinet and people on the extremes of American life, and no Jew was chosen." But Baum said he is more concerned with the policy positions the cabinet nominees take than with their religious affiliation.

Other Jewish leaders echoed those remarks, saying they question the policies being initiated by the new White House and the domestic policy agenda of several nominees, especially the attorney general-designate, former Sen. John Ashcroft (R-Mo.).

On the other hand, Jewish leaders have been impressed by the pro-Israel positions of several of the cabinet selections.

"The irony of it all is, this is a guy who set up a cabinet that is closer to what America is, and he isn't getting credit for it," Foxman said. "The only ones who are asking 'Where are we?' are the Jews."

Jews Hiding in the Bush

Over the past year, the NFP has unabashedly published the truth regarding the Jews in America. Yet, there are many out there who still believe the articles in the NFP are published with a "they" mentality. In other words, some may say that we place the woes of America on the Jews' backs without any justification.

Yet, the truth is stranger than fiction. The following people are some of the most influential people in America, but most Americans don't know (or don't want to know) that they are in fact practicing Talmudic Jews or have Jewish ancestors.

In terms of the economic situation in America, the most influential person is a Jew - specifically, Alan Greenspan. He controls the Federal Reserve, interest rates, and so on, and in so doing controls just about every policy and procedure of the American government - consider his constant presence at or communication with the White House.

If any American can only name one member of the Supreme Court, they would recognize Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the female Jew who now sits on the bench. The Supreme Court is of course the highest level of the Judicial Branch of the U.S. Government.

Another influential member of the government is Secretary of State Colin Powell - we hear his name as much as if not more than George Bush. Did you know that he has a Jewish ancestor on his father's side of the family? Another name we hear often is Ari Fleischer, White House spokesman. Not only is he an influential and famous Jew, but he also is reported to hold dual citizenship with the country of Israel. Wonder where his loyalties lie?

Media Jews are almost too numerous to name here. But, we will mention just a few of the most influential media persons. Of course, there is Steven Spielberg. Not only can this very famous Jew influence public sympathy with his movies (especially Schindler's List), but he uses the millions of dollars he makes to finance Jewish interests: The Shoah Foundation, Righteous Persons Foundation, and so forth. He also contributes big money to his favorite political charities - especially presidential campaign funds. Has anyone ever stopped to ask why a movie maker is invited to top-list White House dinners? We can't forget other influential, famous, Hollywood Jews, such as: Barbara Streisand, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Adolph Zucker (Paramount), Carl Laemmle (Universal), Louis B. Mayer (MGM), the Warner Brothers, William Fox, Henry Cohn (Columbia Pictures), Samuel Goldwyn. and so on. The Jews even made a movie called Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies and the American Dream, which aired on CBS first, then on A&E a few years ago. This clearly documents the creation of Hollywood by the Jews.

These same Jews and their fellow-travelers also control television, most notably the network ABC (now owned by Disney, which is run by the Jew Michael Eisner). So what?, some may ask. The Jews know very well that they can manipulate public opinion on everything, including how homosexuals, race-mixers, criminals, and so on are viewed, simply by producing a deceiving and diabolically clever television show. Even a 30-second television commercial is enough time to promote the miscegenation of society.

One Jew who has more recently become famous is Jon Stewart, the host of a mock news show on Comedy Central. In the words of one Jew, Stewart is famous for "pontificating on social satire through a Jewish lens." He also uses the show to refer to Christians as "you people." This is funny to the Jews, of course, who are trying to make laws against calling Jews "you people" - or "hate crime" laws. The list of other Jewish comedians who like to make fun of Christians is too long to go into here.

One lesser known but greatly influential Jew is Gerald Levin, second-in-command of AOL Time Warner Company. According to Jewsweek, he "controls what you watch on television, what books you read, how you surf the net, and how your news is delivered (just to name a few things that he can do)." Sounds like an establishment of Jewish tyranny. AOL Time Warner is a massive company with vast holdings. Magazines owned by AOL Time Warner include: Time, Fortune, Business 2.0, Life, Sports Illustrated, Inside Stuff, Money, People, Entertainment Weekly, Popular Science, Field & Stream, and dozens of others. They also control theme parks, music labels, retail companies, on-line publishing venues, Warner Bros. Studios, Castle Rock Entertainment, HBO, CNN, publishing companies, etc. I wonder if Time was influenced at all by the Jews when choosing Albert Einstein as Man of the Century?

Another Jew, Steve Ballmer, became CEO of Microsoft. He is also worth about $16.6 billion. Everyone knows of the money machine Microsoft. We can't forget Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the radio talk show host whose listening audience rivals that of Rush Limbaugh. She presents herself for family values, but strictly from a Jewish point-of-view. Another famous radio Jew is Howard Stern.

We can't forget also that the millions of dollars made from television, movies, and so on are used to finance any number of activities, from promoting so-called AIDS activism to lining the pockets of corrupt politicians (who are in many cases Jews themselves).

At this juncture, we have covered aspects of the media such as television, movies, and the radio. What about newspapers and other magazines? In addition to the numerous Jewish editors, authors, photographers, cartoonists, and so on, the Jews also rely on their artillery of newspapers, magazines, and other venues of the written word. Mortimer Zuckerman, owner of U.S. News and World Report and New York Daily News, is also the chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and received support from Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Even one of the highest positions in Turner Broadcasting is held by a Jew, Brad Turell. In case you didn't know, Turner Broadcasting is owned by AOL Time Warner, and controls TBS Superstation, TNT, Turner Classic Movies, and even the Cartoon Network. Ever wonder why the cartoons today are no better than some "X" movies?

As has been stated before, the Vatican is also controlled by Jewish interests. The architect of the "2000 Church", the so-called "millennium church for the city of Rome" is a Jew (!) and was hand-picked by John Paul II for the important architectural job. Hmmm …

Even space is not immune to Jewish control. Daniel Goldin, a Jew, has been in control of NASA since 1992, a carry-over from Clinton's administration to Bush's. Goldin uses his influence to launch some satellites free of charge for Israel, while everyone else has to pay.

With all that having been said, let's discuss some of the Jews close to George Bush. We have already mentioned Colin Powell and Ari Fleischer. One of Bush's Foreign Policy Advisors, Richard Perle, is a known Jew with a history of sending classified government documents to the Israeli Embassy and also worked for Soltam, an Israeli company which builds weapons. Yet, he is allowed to continue working in our government. A close friend of Perle's, Paul Wolfowitz, also a Jew, is Bush's Deputy Defense Secretary. This list just goes on. The Jews Robert Satloff and Elliott Abrams are National Security Council Advisors. Dov Zekheim, Under Secretary of Defense and Comptroller, reportedly has dual citizenship with Israel.

Douglas Feith, Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon has even closer ties with Israel. He is closely associated with the Zionist Organization of America, has advocated anti-Arab policies, and runs a law firm which has only one office - located in Israel. This law firm, Feith and Zell, is known for representing Israeli Armaments Manufacturer.

Marc Grossman, a Jew, is Bush's Under Secretary of State of Political Affairs. Richard Haass, Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Ambassador at Large, is also Director of National Security Programs and Senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. He likes to promote bombing Iraq, as does Robert Zoellick, another Jew (U.S. Trade Representative). Other Jews include Henry Kissinger and James Schlesinger (both pentagon advisors who advocate bombing Iraq). Don't you feel secure knowing that National Security rests in the hands of Jews with close ties Israel?

Steve Goldsmith, Senior Advisor to the President, makes frequent trips to Israel. Other Jews on the list include:

Mel Sembler - President of the export-Import Bank of the United States;

Joshua Bolten - Chief Policy Director;

Adam Goldman - White House Special Liaison to the Jewish Community;

Joseph Gildenhorn - Bush Campaign's Special Liaison to the Jewish Community (also, former ambassador to Switzerland);

Christopher Gersten - Former Executive Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition. He is married to Linda Chavez, Labor Secretary;

Mark Weinberger - Assistant Secretary of the Treasury;

Samuel Bodman - Deputy Secretary of Commerce;

Bonnie Cohen - Under Secretary of State for Management;

Ruth Davis - Director of Foreign Service Institute;

Lincoln Bloomfield - Assistant Secretary of State for Political Military Affairs;

Jay Lefkowitz - General Counsel of the Office of Budget and Management;

David Frum - White House Speechwriter.

Not only are these Jews, but they are all pro-Israel lobbyists. To our knowledge, none have defended the Palestinians, who are being slaughtered by the state of Israel. Rather, they are ardent supporters of Israel. Just remember that it is a Jew writing those speeches you hear Bush giving and publishing photographs of the president with a big Jewish star behind him. Literally, the Jews are putting the words in Bush's mouth.

How can we manifest peace on earth if we do not include everyone (all races, all nations, all religions, both sexes) in our vision of Peace?
