Editorial Viewpoint for 2006<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> remains committed to<br />

bringing the truth to the <strong>American</strong> people. We believe<br />

that in a free society, it is the job of the press to be<br />

the watchman of the government. It then falls upon<br />

the people, being fully informed, to decide what<br />

actions they must take to preserve and defend their<br />

liberty.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> is unabashedly, pro-<br />

<strong>American</strong>. Too many of our ancestors fought and<br />

died to protect our Constitution, the oldest in the<br />

world, to insure that we would retain those liberties<br />

spelled out in our Bill of Rights.<br />

Based on the knowledge we have compiled over<br />

the last nine years of publication, we believe there<br />

is a verifiable, well documented plan to force<br />

<strong>American</strong>s into a Global Government, complete with<br />

one world banking, a global ID system, an<br />

international police force, and a disarmed populous.<br />

This is unacceptable to us personally and<br />

incompatible with our Constitution and Bill of<br />

Rights.<br />

Those who advocate such a global system and<br />

the dismantling of our Bill of Rights, are either<br />

misguided, uninformed or, if totally knowledgable,<br />

traitors to this country. We will expose them.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> is not affiliated with any<br />

political party, religious sect, secret society, cult,<br />

club or movement.<br />

We do not advocate violence but we stress the<br />

right of self-defense and the individual’s right to<br />

bear arms, to be free of intrusive government, to<br />

privacy and the pursuit of life, liberty and<br />

happiness.<br />

Publisher’s Corner for April.<br />

2007<br />

CLAYTON R. DOUGLAS<br />

& Caleigh Rose Douglas<br />

<strong>The</strong>re comes a time in our lives when things just do not work<br />

and we have to make changes. This is one of those times in my<br />

life and I am reaching out to you to help me determine what changes<br />

to make and how to do that. I would like to put you to work using<br />

the tools I have crafted. This magazine.<br />

My ex-wife, who I once loved with all my heart, criticizes me<br />

for putting my personal life in here and on my website, but she<br />

also finds fault when I talk about Jews in power behind the scenes.<br />

"You know you would be so much better off if you stopped talking<br />

about the Jews!"<br />

"Sure. I will do that if you can get the Jews to stop talking<br />

about the Arabs!" This statement is flippant but if the main stream<br />

targets White Supremacists and militant Muslims, and adherents<br />

to Christian Identity, why should Jewish Zionists Goals for world<br />

domination not be discussed<br />

If you agree with her and don't want to hear the truth, leave<br />

now and join her in the safety of your illusions. And it is those<br />

illusions that I intend to address in this issue. <strong>The</strong> cover provides<br />

the theme, Scammers.<br />

Most of you have been with me for years. You have read my<br />

columns, listened to my broadcasts and watched my films. You<br />

bikers out there have looked at my photos of beautiful women,<br />

gorgeous motorcycles and shared my stories of my encounters<br />

with famous bikers in Thunder Riders. You know who I am and<br />

what I think, but trying to put together a coherent and viable organization<br />

in opposition to the status quo is a little more difficult<br />

now than it has ever been. I may not be able to do it from Bingham<br />

like I once did, so Bingham might be up for sale and I will be<br />

considering relocating to another city or state where I can find the<br />

help I need to do all of the things that need to be done.<br />

Thunder Riders was a fun magazine to do and totally nonpolitical.<br />

I used it to get funds to run the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> because<br />

the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> goes in directions that are impossible for most<br />

mind-controlled <strong>American</strong>s to fathom. That worked until the "accident"<br />

took away the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> magazine, my radio show<br />

and the support of my family. My sons kept Thunder Riders going<br />

while I was kept unconscious but a year after they left (Or I ran<br />

them off, depending on your point of view.).<br />

I made a deal and sold Thunder Riders to get the money to<br />

republish the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> but I was unintentionally outted after<br />

the publicly traded company in the motorcycle industry announced<br />

their purchase of Thunder Riders and related items in a<br />

press release on Wall Street, stating that Clay Douglas would remain<br />

on as publisher.<br />

Obviously this announcement sent up a red flag on the ADL<br />

desk and every stockholder in that company was contacted and<br />

told what a right wing, radical, racist, Anti-Semite Clay Douglas<br />

was. <strong>The</strong> CEO of that company backed out because of the pressure<br />

from his stockholders. I let him because I did not want to be<br />

in business with or beholden to a spineless jackal.<br />

<strong>The</strong> people who buy the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> and listen to my broadcasts<br />

are special people and well educated by means other than<br />

the television. <strong>The</strong> advertisers in Thunder Riders are not that knowledgeable<br />

or worldly. <strong>The</strong> advertisers who had reaped the benefits<br />

of my writing and pictures in Thunder Riders were contacted and<br />

threatened with the loss of their Jewish clientele for supporting a<br />

right wing, racist, Anti-Semite like Clay Douglas. After that, my<br />

attempts to sell advertising fell flat there.<br />

I have a new name for the people behind this kind of action.<br />

Scammers. Name calling and demonization has always been the<br />

tool of tyrants and Zionists. Kind of like the situation this week in<br />

the Seattle airport where travelers were stripped of their enjoyment<br />

of Christmas by a Rabbi who threatened to sue the airport if<br />

it did not display the Menorah also. <strong>The</strong> airport took down all of<br />

the Christmas trees this year.<br />

You have tried to help when John Trochmann and I and others<br />

formed the Militias after Waco. Until the OKC blast and Timothy<br />

McVeigh, an employee of the US Army, was used to tarnish the<br />

Militia Movement. More Scammers.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n 9-11 happened and our stable world began to crumble.<br />

Well, at least mine did.<br />

Up to this point in time, the only Terrorists I could see were<br />

working for our government, like the BATF with back up from<br />

the FBI, as demonstrated by the actions against the Branch<br />

Davidians in Waco. Suddenly the Muslims were the new enemy<br />

overshadowing the evil Constitutionalists and their Militias.<br />

My perceptions, after 9-11, was that this was an engineered<br />

event not done by Arabs in a cave in Afghanistan anymore than<br />

OKC had been done by the Militias. I saw Osama Bin Laden in<br />

the same light of Tim McVeigh and Lee Harvey Oswald. More<br />

Scammers. Include Jewish mobster Jack Ruby in that list<br />

I referred to the trade towers as an exaggerated case of "Jewish<br />

Lightning" (Larry Silverstein bought the towers for $500 million,<br />

insured the complex for 700 billion and collected a few short<br />

months later. I featured a picture of Building Number 7 on the<br />

cover of the last <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> in 2004 along with Silverstein's<br />

statement that he had "pulled" #7. That and my film, "<strong>The</strong> True<br />

Face of FEMA, which exposed the Zionist created "Homeland<br />

Security" agenda against <strong>American</strong>s, is what, I believe led to my<br />

"accident" and three hospitals keeping me unconscious unnecessarily<br />

for three months, so my cracked ribs and collarbone could<br />

heal!<br />

Finally, my wife of 24 years, Janet, decided she didn't want to<br />

April 2007


deal with a badly injured, irritated, angry<br />

husband once he was out of the hospital<br />

and wanted to work again. Alone for the<br />

first time in 24 years and out of the dating<br />

scene, I got on something called Yahoo<br />

Personals in an attempt to meet someone<br />

to fill the void in my life. I started out talking<br />

to women in Phoenix without a lot of<br />

success. <strong>The</strong> few that I found attractive<br />

never wrote back and fewer still had the<br />

interest or the courage to even pick up a<br />

phone and call me after seeing my website.<br />

A few months back, I moved back to<br />

New Mexico to clean up my property and<br />

attempted to borrow money on the equity I<br />

had built up over the last ten years. But every<br />

company that assured me that my credit<br />

was not a problem because the plan allowed<br />

me to pay off every past due bill that had<br />

piled up while I was hospitalized, backed<br />

out at the last minute.<br />

One broker from Western Thrift and<br />

Loan, Mike Ferry, hung in and that is the<br />

reason you are able to read this account.<br />

But he met with so many problems that he<br />

was stunned. Is this the reason a mortgage<br />

application is run through Homeland Security<br />

now After the last lender continued<br />

to find a problem with everything from<br />

my signature on one page of eight to the<br />

paperwork of a ten year old trust, my broker<br />

told me he had found, the "nigger in<br />

the woodpile!"; One man in charge of disbursing<br />

the funds at Accredited Home<br />

Lenders in Orange, CA by the name of<br />

Steve Schwartz! Evidently the ADL has<br />

long arms. <strong>The</strong> broker told me it is called<br />

"Redlining", discrimination against a race,<br />

religion, economic group or Clay Douglas!<br />

It is a violation of Federal Law." Good luck<br />

proving it or getting the FBI to investigate.<br />

After much hair pulling and name calling,<br />

the money finally came through.<br />

Trying to juggle all of the business details<br />

and trying to find honest help did not<br />

leave time for many dates. One of my Thunder<br />

Riders salesmen tried to convert all of<br />

my advertisers to another biker magazine<br />

and another ran a hot check he passed off<br />

as an investment through my account.<br />

Scammer! <strong>The</strong>n suddenly, I began to get<br />

response on Yahoo from some really beautiful<br />

women. <strong>The</strong>y were not only beautiful;<br />

they were sensitive, loving and sensual.<br />

Unfortunately, they were no more real than<br />

the hot checks their "clients" sent me and<br />

most of them were an ocean away.<br />

Once I closed down Thunder Riders<br />

and made the decision to start <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong><br />

again and moved back to New Mexico<br />

I had less help and more to do than I had<br />

time on my hands. I was doing my show<br />

“Where the press is free and<br />

every man able to read, all is<br />

safe.” Thomas Jefferson, (letter to<br />

Charles Yancey, 6 January 1816)<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

on the Internet and figured I might be able<br />

to find some investors or help, using the<br />

Internet, since I was so far away from any<br />

major town.<br />

It wasn't until the response started flowing<br />

in that I noticed the posters appearing<br />

in the banks from the FBI warning <strong>American</strong>s<br />

about the Nigerian scams. A light<br />

dawned but it was a little late. I was so sharp<br />

and streetwise that I wasn't worried about<br />

being scammed; I sent no money to anyone<br />

except a few instances to aid in my investigations.<br />

I got help. Over a million dollars in investments<br />

and checks came in from those<br />

who wanted to help..... All in hot checks<br />

and forged money orders!<br />

Because of my website and shortwave<br />

broadcasts and now my presence on the<br />

Internet, I was so well known I got a lot of<br />

contacts. But the volume and nature of these<br />

attacks and scams has made me suspicious.<br />

Being the paranoid and conspiracy oriented<br />

person that I am, it seems that perhaps there<br />

was an intelligence of sorts directing these<br />

operations. <strong>The</strong>y could be using the lack<br />

of an extradition treaty with Nigeria to not<br />

only scam <strong>American</strong>s out of millions, but<br />

to use the beautiful women, who might be<br />

part of the Israeli white slavery/prostitution<br />

rings, to target prominent and unpopular<br />

enemies without fear of retribution or interference<br />

by the FBI. See the story in this<br />

issue.<br />

According to the FBI, the Nigerian and<br />

Ghanaian scammers operate with the blessings<br />

of the local governments because they<br />

constitute the largest industry in these African<br />

Countries.<br />

This book, while containing personal<br />

information about me and detailed photos,<br />

some graphic, should serve as a warning to<br />

all <strong>American</strong>s of the insidious nature of<br />

these scammers. If an investigative reporter<br />

and a streetwise biker can be led into this<br />

convoluted world where nothing is real,<br />

imagine what could happen to the average<br />

man or woman, looking for love, sucked<br />

into this, offered big bucks and beautiful<br />

companions for so little money. But multiply<br />

that by a few million lonely men and<br />

vulnerable women and you have an industry<br />

as big as drugs. This story is only a sampling<br />

of the information I have gathered. It<br />

will soon be a book. One of many I am<br />

sending out to other publishers in my attempt<br />

to restructure my life in some semblance<br />

of sanity.<br />

This issue has been delayed by forces<br />

or circumstances beyond my control: <strong>The</strong><br />

theft of my computer and every weapon<br />

with which I might have been able to defend<br />

myself with, including my bows and<br />

arrows, and the destruction of my other<br />

computers by means unknown (not viruses)<br />

were factors. Your subscriptions will be<br />

extended appropriately. For the last 2 weeks<br />

I have been going through all of my order<br />

books and trying to make sure your subs<br />

are updated since the updated list was in<br />

the stolen computer. If you have ordered a<br />

sub please call us and make sure we have<br />

you in the restored files toll-free at 888-<br />

678-1444<br />

But this theft and the unexplainable, recurring<br />

delays in my attempt to get my property<br />

refinanced to keep this magazine going<br />

are only the latest of ten years of escalating<br />

attacks and mishaps of which I have<br />

kept you apprised. <strong>The</strong>se incidents are simply<br />

outside the realm of statistically possible<br />

accidents. <strong>The</strong>se problems are not attributable<br />

to errors of judgment, mistakes<br />

in marketing or my combative, aggressive<br />

personality. Within the last month my<br />

website was taken down after a large company<br />

bought out the company who has<br />

hosted my site for the last ten years. After a<br />

few months of hassles that had never been<br />

there before, the new company shut down<br />

my site and everyone else’s, stopped answering<br />

their phones, and we could not<br />

come up with the codes to trnasfer my domain<br />

to another provider. Finally the phone<br />

rang and it was the former owner who asked<br />

if I would like to get my site back up. Hell<br />

yes was my answer. Seems the people who<br />

bought the company, never bothered to pay<br />

for it and split leaving everyone hanging.<br />

Kind of like blowing up a plane to get one<br />

man.<br />

No sooner did my site get back up and<br />

operating on a limited basis, but another<br />

problem surfaced.<br />

Someone sent a check made out to in<br />

my banker’s name. <strong>The</strong> check was mailed<br />

directly to the bank with one of my account<br />

numbers on the back. <strong>The</strong> banker called.<br />

She told me someone had sent me a check<br />

for $3750.00 but they had put her name<br />

on iit. I asked her to check and see if the<br />

check was good. If it was, I asked her if<br />

she could just deposit it. My mistake. <strong>The</strong><br />

check turned out to be bad like so many<br />

others that i never let get to the bank. Usually,<br />

the manager and I found out they were<br />

bad, I took a copy of the check and envelope<br />

to the Sheriif’s office and went on with<br />

my business. This time the asst. Manager<br />

turned me in for trying to deposit a fraudulent<br />

check. I went by the next day to learn<br />

where it had come from, but she would not<br />

let me see it, would not give me a cop[y to<br />

take to the sheriff, and by the time I got<br />

back itno town from Albqueque, my account<br />

had been closed and my money frozen.<br />

No way for my credit cards to go into<br />

the account, no way to use my debit cards<br />

to get gas, so by the next morning my account<br />

on the computer showed that I was<br />

888,888.00 overdrawn and since teh cars I<br />

had run for $132.00 could not go in, I was<br />

overdraw by $20. But a meeting with a lawyer<br />

and some good advice and we will be<br />

back up and operating as usual shortly.<br />

Yes. It is discouraging. But people enjoy<br />

my articles, films and books and the<br />

articles I select have been accurate and<br />

years ahead of main stream news. What we<br />

talked about years ago in the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong><br />

are today’s headlines. And as you will<br />

see in this issue, I am not the first to be<br />

attacked, harassed, demonized and made a<br />

target. You can call me unlucky and laugh<br />

at my problems and blame it on my outspokenness,<br />

but I am the canary in the coal<br />

mine, and when you become aware of the<br />

hidden war and unseen enemies, you and<br />

your family might have a chance to stand<br />

up for right, not might. I have been attacked,<br />

subjected to demonization but you are holding<br />

in your hands the best defense to tyranny.<br />

Become and be proud to be a <strong>Free</strong><br />

<strong>American</strong>!<br />

We need people to work the phones and<br />

computers here or anywhere in the US or<br />

overseas if you have a computer, Yahoo<br />

Messenger and a telephone. We are putting<br />

and expanding the offices and adding<br />

We are looking for people experienced<br />

have a distributorship on Cavco Cabins.<br />

Ads for Clay's novels, films, books and<br />

those of Eustace Mullins will be appearing<br />

in Radio Television Interview Report which<br />

is distributed to over 4000 Television and<br />

Radio Stations. We have National Distribution<br />

are looking for, are men and women with<br />

computers and a phone to handle sales from<br />

computer and Yahoo Messenger in every<br />

state. Exclusive territories for advertising<br />

sales and subscriptions and you would be<br />

place at this time in your life, please consider<br />

investing in the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> to help<br />

us grow and find the people we need to do<br />

the work required to produce this magazine<br />

and support it as we triy to find answers<br />

to the problems that even CNN and<br />

MSNBC are beginning to address. And<br />

remember, America has many Liberty Villages.<br />

Small towns across America have<br />

been drained of their youths and their vitality<br />

by the demands of industry and the<br />

lure of the cities. But the cities have become<br />

prison camps and ghettos of the New<br />

World Order Police State.<br />

You can be a part of the answer. Consider<br />

joining the Constitution Party as the<br />

one uncompromised party out there. I can<br />

recommend it because I helped write their<br />

charter and I have pleadged the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong><br />

to back it and promote it. If they want<br />

me, I will run for any office in the state<br />

they would like me to, and I will be happy<br />

to debate any Rebublican or Democrat out<br />

there. I may be too controbersial to win but<br />

then again, maybe the <strong>American</strong> people are<br />

ready for the truth. And there is another<br />

factor out there that I may be able to appeal<br />

to. We have over 30% of <strong>American</strong>s<br />

either behind bards or on probation or parole.<br />

It may be time to organzie the Guglag<br />

Refugees to reclaim <strong>American</strong> from the<br />

growing police state.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rest of the stories in this issue follow<br />

traditional lines but all will show you<br />

that we are all in the grips of the greatest<br />

scammers of all, the ones who control the<br />

TV that controls your minds and pulls the<br />

strings of your government.<br />

We are being set up for a total police<br />

state that will make the former Soviet Union<br />

and Red China look like desirable countries<br />

to live in. <strong>The</strong> targeting of Clay Douglas<br />

follows the pattern of attacks against<br />

a long line of notable people, people like<br />

the intellectuals in Red China, Russia, Germany,<br />

Joe McCarthy, Ernst Zundel, Eustace<br />

Mullins and Ezra Pound here. When a coup<br />

occurs, it is important to take out all who<br />

have the intellectual ability to discern who<br />

and what is responsible for the atrocities<br />

that will follow.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new laws allow for the suspension<br />

of Habeas Corpus and the imprisonment<br />

of people like me with no explanation, no<br />

notification of our families, and no access<br />

to an attorney. What is happening to me<br />

alone here in Bingham is happening to millions<br />

of <strong>American</strong>s in our towns and cities.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Internet is a double edged sword. It<br />

gives us access to information previously<br />

hidden, but it opens us up to scammers,<br />

tracking, monitoring and isolates us at the<br />

same time. We should approach it with caution.<br />

It does not provide us with the safety,<br />

security and familiarity of the community.<br />

In some strange way, Hillary Clinton was<br />

right about it takes a village. We do need a<br />

village. This was the concept that I envisioned<br />

with Liberty Villages, smaller<br />

homes, smaller, tighter, self-sufficient communities.<br />

And they are out there, Liberty<br />

Villages by the thousands. <strong>The</strong> basis of the<br />

America we once had. Many abandoned<br />

and dying like Bingham. Just waiting for<br />

the right people to abandon the New World<br />

Order concentration camps, factories and<br />

prisons we call cities and come back home.<br />

I believe that we can stand up against<br />

the New World Order just as Jesus, Washington<br />

and Jefferson did in their day. I, for<br />

one, refuse to be silent and submit to slavery,<br />

in whatever format they seek to conceal<br />

it. I will continue publishing this magazine<br />

if I get the advertisers and support any<br />

magazine needs to exist. It may not be in<br />

the slick format needed to get on the bookstore<br />

shelves right away but I will continue<br />

to write, create and speak out against all<br />

forms of tyranny and attempts to enslave<br />

or divide mankind.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y may kill me, they may even eat<br />

me, but they will never enslave me.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Internet as<br />

Psychological Warfare<br />

Clayton R. Douglas<br />

This article is hard to write, because it<br />

feels like an admission of failure. I have<br />

tried to revive the <strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong>. I have<br />

tried to establish Liberty Villages. By<br />

chance or design, everything that has happened<br />

has played a part in preventing me<br />

from rebuilding the magazine to what it<br />

should be..<br />

My accident, that was no accident, was<br />

the beginning. When the woman failed to<br />

kill me, three hospitals kept me sedated<br />

with mind altering drugs for three months.<br />

This led to the loss of my wife and my<br />

sons went back to Colorado. This loss sent<br />

me to the Internet to find a way to replace<br />

them and after I moved back to Bingham,<br />

and could find no one local to help, I went<br />

to the Net to find employees and backers<br />

and investors. This was a signal of my<br />

weakness. I was sending up a red flag that<br />

opened the door to hundreds of offers,<br />

hundreds of inquiries and almost to my<br />

ultimate destruction. But I soon learned<br />

that I was not the only one that was undergoing<br />

this kind of attacks. It was happening<br />

to ordinary <strong>American</strong>s who were<br />

not politically active or whose views were<br />

not controversial. <strong>The</strong> FBI told me that<br />

they think the governments of Ghana and<br />

Nigeria were iinvolved and they put up<br />

signs in banks to warn <strong>American</strong>s. After<br />

everything that has happened, the only<br />

disagreement I have with them, is that I<br />

think there are more than the governments<br />

of Ghana and Nigeria involved.<br />

<strong>The</strong> offers I began to receive were so<br />

intricate and varied that I began to keep a<br />

detailed record of what I knew to be scams,<br />

what I thought could be scams, and a few<br />

that seemed to be just lost souls not much<br />

different from me, looking for someone<br />

to love. But I thought I was dealing with<br />

people who were honest. <strong>The</strong> lawyers and<br />

the law enforcement I thought I was helping<br />

to stop the scammers, were in fact the<br />

real scammers. A lawsuit fought a half a<br />

world away, was resolved and suddenly I<br />

had won a large amount of money . . .<br />

money that could help immensely in the<br />

fight for freedom here. But there is no way<br />

to check on anything or anyone that is on<br />

Yahoo.<br />

It was backed up by documentation<br />

from Barclay’s Bank and the High Court<br />

of Ghana. All I had to do was send the<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

filing fees to my attorney. <strong>The</strong> programming<br />

I got here through my childhood and<br />

through TV led me to believe in the justice<br />

system here. And the international<br />

aspect of Barclays Bank got me. But no<br />

matter what I sent, there was always something<br />

else that needed to be done. None<br />

of the money I supposedly won ever materialized.<br />

I tried to hire help from there to bring<br />

here. <strong>The</strong>y ripped me off. I sent money to<br />

bring the help I needed. No one came. And<br />

while I looked for help locally, but no one<br />

even applied for an interview.<br />

I refinanced my property to get working<br />

capitol and to clear up my damaged<br />

credit. I paid off my ex-wife, got clear title,<br />

paid off every debt I owed, but there was<br />

delay after delay and the mortgage company<br />

shaved off point after point until,<br />

when it was all said and done, months<br />

longer that expected, I got some money, a<br />

much higher interest rate and no help here.<br />

And my credit rating went down not up.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n the death threats began when the<br />

banks there, afraid of the fact that I had<br />

sued one successfully, did not want me to<br />

reveal who they were and how they operated.<br />

I was even told that <strong>American</strong> operatives<br />

of Al Qaeda would be used<br />

against me.<br />

I understand that poor people will do<br />

anything they can to try to scrape out a<br />

living in that AIDS racked continent. I understand<br />

crooked lawyers and politicians,<br />

here and there. But over the internet you<br />

cannot tell who is honest, who is truthful<br />

or even if who you are talking to is a man,<br />

woman, white or black. But this human<br />

elements sets the stage for a form of psychological<br />

warfare unlike any known before.<br />

I am in the process of cataloging all of<br />

the conversations and all of the means by<br />

which they con <strong>American</strong>s out of money<br />

and prey on the lonely and alone. It will<br />

be a book entitled, “SCAMMERS. A<br />

DESCENT INTO MADNESS”<br />

<strong>The</strong> distractions and the lies took a<br />

chunk of money from me, but the lack of<br />

help here in New Mexico and America did<br />

far more damage. I spent all of my time<br />

trying to fill orders, pay bills, keep my<br />

health while I tried to revive the <strong>Free</strong><br />

<strong>American</strong>. What hurt me more than the<br />

Scammers was the complete lack of help,<br />

support, or advertising from the Patriot<br />

community that I had devoted my life to<br />

here in America.<br />

Outside of a small percentage of my<br />

former subscribers who have signed up<br />

and ordered some products, I have not had<br />

the time necessary to get advertisers, sales<br />

people or ever radio time. RBN John<br />

Stadtmiller cut me off after two shows for<br />

no real reason.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n last month, my website went<br />

down. <strong>The</strong> company that had been hosting<br />

it for ten years sold out to a larger company<br />

last year. <strong>The</strong>n suddenly all of the<br />

webcites are down. My e-mail wasn’t<br />

working, No one answered the phones<br />

anymore at CyberConnectics. <strong>The</strong><br />

Cybcon.com website is down, and I could<br />

not get access to the codes needed to<br />

change providers. A large company had<br />

bought a successful business and did not<br />

pay the owner or provide the service for<br />

their customers. I know because Les<br />

Fenison, the former owner of<br />

CyberConnectics, called me and told me<br />

he had all the codes needed to get my cite<br />

back up and running. He also let me know<br />

that I was not the only one who had to<br />

deal with SCAMMERS and that they were<br />

from America too.<br />

But without the support in America for<br />

what we are trying to do, I am in worse<br />

shape that Ernst Zundel, recently sentenced<br />

to five years for doing and saying<br />

less than I have about the Zionists. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

attacks could come from the computers of<br />

Israel as easily as they could come from<br />

Ghana or Nigeria. It is a sophisticated form<br />

of warfare that is beyond the scope of a<br />

few Nigerians. I sit here and work on<br />

the next issue and the phone does not ring.<br />

People like Texe Marrs will not return my<br />

calls. Why<br />

It is this lack of support that opens the<br />

door for the kind of psychological warfare<br />

that it being turned on me now. It is<br />

the reason John Trockmann of the Militia<br />

of Montana, turned his back on the <strong>American</strong><br />

people, saying, “To Hell with them<br />

Clay, We tried to tell them what was coming<br />

and they did nothing to help us or support<br />

us. <strong>The</strong>y deserve the government they<br />

get!” Clayton R. Douglas<br />

“Democracy is two wolves and a<br />

lamb voting on what to have for<br />

lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb<br />

contesting the vote!”<br />

"Whoever would overthrow the liberty<br />

of a nation must begin by subduing<br />

the freeness of speech."<br />

WARNING:<br />

THE END OF AMERICA<br />

AS WE KNOW IT IS AT<br />

HAND<br />

By Greg Evensen<br />

© 2007 Greg Evensen - All Rights Reserved<br />

<strong>The</strong> Patriot’s Preamble<br />

“Let it be known far and wide that <strong>American</strong> Patriots will<br />

come together in the year 2007, to unite the citizens and<br />

statesmen of the Republic of the United States of America.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y will gather with the purpose of maintaining our nation’s<br />

sovereignty, to reinstate our Constitutional and Natural<br />

Rights, and to free the <strong>American</strong> people from institutional<br />

servitude. <strong>The</strong>y will come to pursue this course with Honor,<br />

Dignity, and Courage, while acknowledging that unless God<br />

keeps our nation and guides her steps, we will have labored in<br />

vain.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> United States of America and its citizenry has been assessed,<br />

warned, plotted against, and sold out by internationalists<br />

in government, business, and the banking industry. Its<br />

workforce has been decimated, its standard of living shredded<br />

and its working people made financial slaves through unjust taxation,<br />

socialist government practices, rules and regulations at all<br />

levels in society that would make any communist dictator grin<br />

with envy.<br />

Our role as partners in governmental affairs has been reduced<br />

to a whisper that is not heard by any elected official anywhere—<br />

with very, very few exceptions. Our representative government<br />

has become 535 regional dictators who live a life of luxury, selfimportance<br />

and as arrogant master over the populace. <strong>The</strong> congress<br />

of the United States has carefully exempted itself from<br />

virtually all repressive laws they choose not to adhere to and<br />

have given themselves retirement pensions, health care and other<br />

perks, the rest of us can only dream of. <strong>The</strong>y have become the<br />

Duma (Soviet Parliament) types who exemplify nothing other<br />

than crass selfishness at the expense of every <strong>American</strong> working<br />

citizen.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bush Administration has been pursuing a blending of<br />

Canada, America and Mexico into the “North <strong>American</strong> Union.”<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have done it under the cover of governmental darkness.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have been running a race as to how fast they can manipulate<br />

our great nation into a “no going back” strategic position<br />

with these other two nations. <strong>The</strong> president and his cabal of sellout<br />

White House/Congressional turncoats have intentionally kept<br />

the <strong>American</strong> people in a state of confusion (war on terror, etc.)<br />

so that organized resistance to this national sovereignty killing<br />

plan can not be formulated. Business and banking interests are<br />

salivating at the thought of trillions of dollars in “free trade”<br />

being exchanged throughout North America.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cultures of Canada and Mexico are not that of the United<br />

States and its citizens. A disaster of Biblical proportions is on its<br />

way WHEN this plan is forced upon our nation. It is only one of<br />

several scenarios that are nearing completion and will spell the<br />

absolute end of the United States as we know it. Some will argue<br />

that the USA needs drastic overhauling and that this is the<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

natural result of “planned obsolescence” in <strong>American</strong> culture.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are huge problems that must be addressed<br />

(www.heartlandusaparty.org) now by the <strong>American</strong> public, or<br />

the last opportunity to do so under “open and free” conditions<br />

will be lost. <strong>The</strong>re is no more time to talk this sorry state of<br />

affairs to death. Decisive and uncompromising action must be<br />

taken. Here is what I suggest to my fellow victims:<br />

TAKE THIS BULL BY THE HORNS<br />

AND PUT IT ON ITS BACKSIDE<br />

Unless you accept that this country is in its LAST days, you<br />

will continue to shake your heads and laugh at all who have written<br />

week after week to help you realize just how much will SOON<br />

be lost to our nation forever. You will be counted among those<br />

who were as responsible as the complicit socialist Washington<br />

government for our national demise precisely because you were<br />

intentionally ignorant. <strong>The</strong> power through information written by<br />

authors of brilliant and inciteful backgrounds has given a massive<br />

amount of data that could have and should have made a difference<br />

in your lives, your interest in government actions, and a marvelous<br />

treasure chest of debate justifications when you discuss<br />

these issues with others.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is NO TIME LEFT for you to take the luxury of noninvolvement.<br />

You will face a time when you will give an account<br />

to your family as to why you couldn’t or wouldn’t take the time to<br />

educate yourself about your nation’s sacred history. You will stand<br />

alone as the verdict comes in that you were negligent in NOT<br />

preparing to protect and care for your family and friends during<br />

military government (Martial Law) because of a “terrorist” attack,<br />

financial/stock market collapse or any other number of possibilities<br />

real or contrived that gives the government the justification<br />

for arrest and indefinite incarceration in detention camps already<br />

built for you and your loved ones. THEY ALREADY EX-<br />

IST!! <strong>The</strong>se detention/ re-education camps are for those who aren’t<br />

willing to submit to the new global order that is about to be established.<br />

Precisely because you are uninformed and intentionally ignorant,<br />

you will blindly board the truck that takes you to your likely<br />

last destination. You will trust the government to help you one last<br />

time. Some of you will stumble around the camp looking for your<br />

welfare check, prescription drugs or how you can contact the nearest<br />

legal defense or ACLU attorney so that you can take the camp<br />

commander to court for mistreatment. You, who I have just described,<br />

deserve a detention camp. “…..may your chains rest lightly<br />

upon your wrists.”<br />

All of us MUST take responsibility for what is coming. Many<br />

of us have adamantly fought against the rising tide of a police<br />

state government.Try to understand you do not always get chance<br />

We are losing badly. NOT because we don’t care, NOT because<br />

we haven’t tried, and certainly NOT because we haven’t committed<br />

to resisting this complete sell-out of the Founders dream for<br />

this nation and its people. We are failing because YOU have not<br />

protested at the school board meetings, the city council chambers,<br />

the county commission boards and the state and federal legislatures<br />

while you still have freedom of speech. Because, out of indifference<br />

or fear, you have not stood up to this criminal neglect<br />

and criminal actions against our constitution, these elected sellouts<br />

have sensed your negligence and have had the boldness to<br />

give America away to the highest bidder.<br />

You have allowed the Federal Reserve to “regulate” our cur-<br />

April 2007


ency into a mountain of debt and steer the dollar into oblivion.<br />

You have allowed Congress to abandon gold and silver and encouraged<br />

the mighty international consortium of bankers to call<br />

every political policy in Washington. You have allowed presidents<br />

and representatives to subvert our constitution to the point of irrelevance<br />

because many of you who were constitutional experts<br />

would not challenge these republic killing “laws” at their source<br />

or in the courts. Above all, you have allowed yourself to be compromised<br />

when serving on the jury, a good example is how a brainwashed<br />

jury convicted 2 innocent border agents for shooting an<br />

illegal drug smuggler.<br />

Many of you in the medical field have believed your own myth<br />

building lifestyle that suggests you are some type of god that sells<br />

pharmaceuticals like snake oil to unsuspecting people who can<br />

neither understand nor challenge your control of their lives, let<br />

alone afford the drugs that they “needed.” You have refused to<br />

endorse less expensive, natural remedies that could have made<br />

the critical difference for some or avoided the pain and expense<br />

of chemo “cures” for cancer in others that in most cases only<br />

prolonged the agony of those buying in to your version of medicine.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a movement to ban natural vitamins and you are<br />

silent there, as well.<br />

You business owners who scammed the public or charged obscene<br />

prices for your products, and then squeezed the worker and<br />

his family into poverty, take a short second place in shame to<br />

America’s bankers. <strong>The</strong> oldest professions in the world are not<br />

prostitution or politicians, but bankers. You alone shoulder the<br />

responsibility along with the Federal Reserve for bankrupting<br />

America’s families and our nation’s financial system. Jail for individuals<br />

mentioned here is kind compared to a hangman’s noose<br />

in my view.<br />

Regardless of the cause or the effect, America is on her knees.<br />

She is a haggard old woman unable to understand who she used<br />

to be. No longer are the strong arms of brave young men and<br />

women able to help her to her feet. <strong>The</strong>re is no one left who knows<br />

this original America or cares.<br />

I appeal to my friends in the law enforcement community.<br />

Whether you are serving now, retired, or were in short of full<br />

retirement, the burden has fallen to you. <strong>The</strong>re is no time left to<br />

muddle this about. <strong>The</strong> nation needs you now and will in the near<br />

future. When I left law enforcement, I never had to sign a statement<br />

giving up my oath. I did not give up that oath to defend<br />

America from all enemies—foreign and domestic—when I left<br />

the military. I have no intention of abandoning America now, in<br />

her time of ultimate peril. I have stood in that great gap. I have<br />

been shot at. I have fought for my life along a lonely stretch of<br />

highway against tall odds to bring in two or three wanted fugitives.<br />

I have tracked the killers through dark fields and deserted<br />

farmhouses. I have held the dying and comforted them to the end.<br />

I am no hero, just someone dedicated to seeing to it that as many<br />

as possible do not have to face a horrible police state America,<br />

where those older, traditional police officer—peace officers—big<br />

men with big hearts were the ideal of our communities, no longer<br />

exist.<br />

All people from all walks of life are invited, encouraged, and<br />

desperately needed to attend our two day summit in KC this summer.<br />

I believe it to be one of the last best chances to make a real,<br />

long lasting difference in our nation. We may fail, but we will<br />

surely at least give our very best. I am asking our newly formed<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

“Centurions for America” organization to stand with me and other<br />

gallant police officers from all levels of service to come to Kansas<br />

City. I am asking these great men and women to absolutely promise<br />

that they will not submit their badge and their oath to a criminal<br />

element masquerading as government officials. I ask that all<br />

of you help these men and women assume their last great roll call<br />

assignment as defenders of their communities against crime and<br />

criminal activity from WHATEVER source. If those of you who<br />

were trained to serve and protect, fail in this coming confrontation<br />

with world-wide forces of evil whose only goal is the destruction<br />

of America and her people, then indeed, the fight has<br />

been lost.<br />

Winston Churchill said it best when he declared in a speech to<br />

the British Parliament in 1943, “you may have to fight knowing<br />

that there is absolutely no chance for success and you will surely<br />

not survive, but to live on as a slave is a far worse fate.” Where<br />

will you stand my law enforcement friends When the government<br />

moves against its people to institute martial law or implement<br />

a “North <strong>American</strong> Union,” or sign on to the United Nations<br />

World Government, will you let our communities and beloved<br />

homes be sold to international elites My heart says NOT EVER!<br />

Let’s agree to stand together as necessary and in the manner in<br />

which our nation requires us to stand. Not government politics<br />

nor embedded traitors dictates, but the needs of our constitution,<br />

our Declaration of Independence with its new relevance for our<br />

time, and for the dedication of hundreds of thousands of soldiers,<br />

sailors, airmen, marines, coast guardsmen, merchant marines and<br />

police officers at all levels who have answered the call and given<br />

their all so that you and I, our children and grandchildren could be<br />

free. It is to them that I humbly say, “yes, sir, I am reporting as<br />

needed.” Fellow <strong>American</strong>s, you are needed NOW. Get involved,<br />

NOW. Call these arrogant self-serving, liberal bureaucrats and<br />

DEMAND change NOW. Show up at the city and county meetings<br />

where your community is being fenced in around an Agenda<br />

21 model that will kill private property usage and ownership. Don’t<br />

be fooled into accepting an unelected, unaccountable county manager<br />

who doesn’t represent you, but rather serves the good-ol-boy<br />

system. Keep your county commissioners, who are elected and<br />

accountable to we, the people.<br />

Don’t count on your church leadership to expose evil and save<br />

America. <strong>The</strong>y have compromised their principles for money and<br />

relationship building and can no longer discern evil. Jesus said<br />

when salt loses its savor it is to be trodden underfoot. Pastors<br />

have lost their savor, and in the process, have lost their backbone<br />

and the love for their fellow man. <strong>The</strong>y fear IRS more than God.<br />

Finally, ask Almighty God to bless your efforts, protect you<br />

and your family from the evil, and as Churchill also said in<br />

England’s darkest hour, “NEVER, NEVER, EVER GIVE UP.”<br />

America is worth every effort we make fellow lawmen, even unto<br />

death. Let’s stand together now and win the battle by the force of<br />

truth, conviction of a righteous cause, and with the help of our<br />

friends and fellow citizens, in a powerful and persuasive show of<br />

solidarity in defense of a free and honorable America.<br />

What do cockroaches and evil in people have in common When<br />

exposed they both run for cover. Political Correctness is the cloak<br />

that protects evil. And remember that Truth is hate to those who<br />

hate the Truth.<br />

A Visit in Prison<br />

with Ernst Zuendel<br />

Daniel McGowan, Professor Emeritus<br />

Hobart and William Smith Colleges<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

During the recent conference in Iran (Review<br />

of the Holocaust: Global Vision) I was<br />

in prison in Mannheim, Germany interviewing<br />

Ernst Zuendel. Labeled a “Holocaust denier,”<br />

Ernst has been in jail for almost four<br />

years without being charged with a violent<br />

crime or without even being convicted of a<br />

non-violent one. He is 67 year old.<br />

As a six-year old Ernst witnessed the Allied<br />

firebombing of Pforzheim in which ten<br />

to twenty thousand German civilians were<br />

killed. As a teenager he became a pacifist; at<br />

age 19 he moved to Canada to avoid serving<br />

in the post-war German army. In Canada he<br />

worked as a graphic artist and publisher specializing<br />

in 20th century German history.<br />

Many of the books he republished questioned<br />

the Holocaust, such as the underground booklet<br />

Did Six Million Really Die by Richard<br />

Harwood. Others he merely distributed, like<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rudolf Report by Germar Rudolf, An<br />

Eye for an Eye: <strong>The</strong> Untold Story of Jewish<br />

Revenge Against Germans in 1945 by John<br />

Sack, and Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening<br />

to the Jewish Question by David Duke.<br />

He also sold books on UFOs and alternative<br />

medicines.<br />

Ernst’s interest in history and revisionism<br />

led him to dispute and challenge specific<br />

“facts” about the Holocaust. He claimed<br />

1. that Hitler’s “Final Solution” was intended<br />

to be ethnic cleansing, not extermination<br />

2. that there were no homicidal gas chambers<br />

used by the Third Reich. (He did not<br />

deny that there were gas chambers used for<br />

disinfection.<br />

3. there were fewer than 6 million Jews<br />

killed of the alleged 55 million who died in<br />

WWII<br />

Over the years such firmly held beliefs<br />

expressed in writing and later on his wife’s<br />

Internet site (www.zundelsite.org ) caused him to be<br />

charged with incitement. He was tried twice<br />

in Canada. In the middle of the second trial<br />

in 1988, Ernst sent the first forensic team to<br />

Auschwitz. It was this “Leuchter Expedition”<br />

and the subsequent Leuchter Report that he<br />

believed revolutionized Holocaust revisionism,<br />

taking it beyond the “he said, she said...”<br />

testimonies and into the realm of solid forensic<br />

science.<br />

Such endeavors made him the target of<br />

those who protect the standard Holocaust<br />

narrative. He survived three assassination<br />

attempts, including by arson and pipe bomb,<br />

and although he lived in Canada for 42 years,<br />

he was never able to gain Canadian citizenship<br />

even though immigration officials had<br />

described his application as “flawless.”<br />

While some consider his views to border<br />

on heresy, freedom of speech in both the<br />

United States and Canada protected his right<br />

to publish and distribute the truth as he sees<br />

it. But neither our Bill of Rights nor the pleadings<br />

of his lawyers could prevent his being<br />

rendered by the United States, forced back to<br />

Canada, and then on to Germany where denying<br />

or revising certain aspects of the Holocaust<br />

is a crime.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Latest Incarceration<br />

On February 5, 2003, Ernst was arrested<br />

at his home in the mountain region of eastern<br />

Tennessee. He was seized on the pretext that<br />

he had violated immigration regulations, or<br />

had missed an interview date with US immigration<br />

authorities, even though he had entered<br />

the US legally, was married to an <strong>American</strong><br />

citizen, had been checked out by the FBI,<br />

had been given a health check, a work permit,<br />

and a social security number, had no<br />

criminal record, and was trying to secure status<br />

as a permanent legal resident.<br />

After being held for two weeks, he was<br />

deported to Canada. For the next two years<br />

— from mid-February 2003 to March 1, 2005<br />

— he was held in solitary confinement in the<br />

Toronto West Detention Centre, on the charge<br />

that he was a threat to national security. Like<br />

others who suffer rendition, there was no bail,<br />

no public trial, and no appeal. His mail was<br />

censored and the lights in his cell were kept<br />

on day and night.<br />

On March 1, 2005 Ernst was put in handcuffs<br />

and leg irons on a private jet and deported<br />

from Canada to Germany where he<br />

has been held as an a prisoner under investigation.<br />

As in Canada, bail was again denied.<br />

On June 29, 2005, the state’s prosecutor, Mr.<br />

Grossman, formally charged him with inciting<br />

“hatred” by having written or distributed<br />

texts that “approve, deny or play down” genocidal<br />

actions carried out by Germany’s wartime<br />

regime, and which “denigrate the<br />

memory of the [Jewish] dead.” <strong>The</strong> trial began<br />

on November 8, 2005, eight months after<br />

he arrived in Germany.<br />

Ernst is confined to his cell 22 ¾ hours<br />

per day. He has no access to phone or Internet<br />

and he may not communicate anything about<br />

the trial. He is able to receive two 30-minute<br />

visits per month, but all conversations must<br />

be in German or must be conducted through<br />

a prison-approved translator.<br />

Still Ernst remains upbeat and convinced<br />

that he has made a contribution to the truth<br />

surrounding WWII and the Holocaust. He<br />

does not deny that millions of people suffered<br />

at the hands of the Nazis, including millions<br />

of Jews, who were worked to death and suffered<br />

from disease (especially typhus) and<br />

who were often deliberately murdered both<br />

inside and outside of concentration camps.<br />

Zündel in court in Toronto at<br />

center rear is Paul Fromm, free<br />

speech campaigner in Canada.<br />

But he does not regard Jewish suffering as<br />

unique. He considers his efforts to tell the<br />

truth about the Holocaust as ground breaking<br />

and is satisfied to let others continue the<br />

research.<br />

Ernst believes that Zionists treat the Holocaust<br />

as a sword and a shield to deflect criticism<br />

of their racist quest to build a Jewish<br />

state in Palestine, a state in which over half<br />

the people today are not Jewish, “the state”<br />

being defined as all the land currently controlled<br />

by Israel, including West Bank, Gaza,<br />

and the Golan Heights. He regards himself<br />

as a political prisoner of Zionists who try to<br />

erase his contributions and punish him with<br />

defamation and imprisonment.<br />

A Day in Court<br />

An admirer once described Ernst Zuendel<br />

as “an outgoing, good-humored man who is<br />

blessed with a rare combination of unflagging<br />

optimism and practical ability. He maintains<br />

this infectious spirit even under very trying<br />

conditions. He is an unusually alert and<br />

sensitive individual with a keen understanding<br />

of human nature. He inspires confidence,<br />

loyalty and affection.” On December 7, 2006<br />

I witnessed his trial in Mannheim and found<br />

this description to be uncannily accurate.<br />

On that particular day those in the courtroom<br />

included Ernst, three judges, three jurors,<br />

a court reporter, three defense attorneys,<br />

four armed guards, twenty-four spectators,<br />

and one prosecutor, Mr. Grossman. Ernst<br />

wore an old blue suit with a red tie; he was<br />

attentive; he often smiled approvingly when<br />

something was said with which he agreed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> guards were friendly but disinterested.<br />

Facing the court, all the participants sat on<br />

the left hand side, except the state prosecutor<br />

who sat all by himself at a table on the right<br />

side. <strong>The</strong> jurors and the court reporter sat in<br />

line with the judges on an elevated platform<br />

along the front and the spectators sat in rows<br />

along the back wall. No media were present.<br />

<strong>The</strong> spectators were clearly there for<br />

Ernst. Most were German men in their late<br />

60s or 70s; there were also a couple of<br />

younger women. Several men commented<br />

that they were proud of having been to every<br />

court session with Ernst over the past 21<br />

months. Although they had not met him personally,<br />

they were following his trial closely<br />

and were supportive of him. <strong>The</strong>y were helpful<br />

to my <strong>American</strong> Jewish colleague and me<br />

and guided us through the security outside<br />

the courtroom and made sure we got front<br />

row seats so that we could fully appreciate<br />

the courtroom experience. Many spoke English<br />

and had sons and daughters in America.<br />

Most were retired but one younger man had<br />

taken time off from work to witness this day<br />

of the trial.<br />

Ernst and his attorneys have not been allowed<br />

to discuss or challenge the veracity of<br />

the facts about the Holocaust, including facts<br />

that Ernst disputes and about which he would<br />

like to submit scientific evidence and expertwitness<br />

testimony.<br />

Offenkundigkeit, the German version of<br />

judicial notice, precludes it. <strong>The</strong> court is only<br />

allowed to consider if Ernst denied these particular<br />

facts and if so, when and where and<br />

how. During our visit, one of Ernst’s attorneys,<br />

84-year old Dr. Herbert Schaller[1],<br />

read a lengthy and impassioned statement<br />

saying that he believed in the same facts of<br />

the Holocaust as does Ernst and by so stating<br />

this he too is guilty. He ended by saying<br />

that in over 53 years of practicing law he had<br />

until now never been guilty of the same crime<br />

as the man he was charged to defend. <strong>The</strong><br />

head judge, Ulrich Meinerzhagen, appeared<br />

tired, agitated, and ready to explode.<br />

Visiting Ernst in prison<br />

It is not easy to visit Ernst Zuendel. He is<br />

allowed only two 30-minute visits per month,<br />

one hour if the visitor travels more than 100<br />

km. Though I wrote and faxed the prison a<br />

dozen times beginning in February 2006, the<br />

answer was always the same, no answer. But<br />

through his wife, Ingrid, Ernst knew that a<br />

colleague and I wished to visit him and he<br />

asked the judge to grant us permission to do<br />

so. Finally on September 23rd Judge<br />

Meinerzhagen told Ernst to tell his wife to<br />

tell me to fax him and formally request a visit.<br />

We were to each include a copy of our<br />

résumés and a copy of our passports.<br />

Another month passed before we received<br />

the visitation permission. Once we had that<br />

document, stamped and signed by the judge,<br />

we were able to make an appointment at the<br />

prison in Mannheim. On arrival the guards<br />

filled out a long form on each of us. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

took our passports and had us put everything<br />

else in a locker. <strong>The</strong>n we were searched,<br />

warned against speaking English, and told to<br />

cross the courtyard to the visitation rooms.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re we sat on one side of a table with a<br />

plastic shield in the middle; they brought Ernst<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

from the other side and allowed him to sit<br />

across from us while a guard sat at the end to<br />

monitor both parties. We asked if it was permissible<br />

to shake hands and the guard smiled<br />

and said that would be all right.<br />

Ernst began by asking us to contact his<br />

wife and tell her that he looked well and that<br />

he missed her. He had not been in contact<br />

with her for several weeks and he was worried<br />

that she would be worried about him.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n he asked if my colleague’s family had<br />

discouraged him from making this trip. My<br />

friend understood what Ernst was a king, but<br />

he was unable to answer in German, so I had<br />

to tell Ernst that indeed pressure had been<br />

put on us both not to have anything to do with<br />

a Holocaust “denier.”<br />

We asked Ernst about life in prison and<br />

his relationship with guards and other prisoners.<br />

He described a typical day and told us<br />

that he had only limited contact with other<br />

prisoners, but that they were friendly towards<br />

him. So too were the guards, especially because<br />

he followed the rules and was a threat<br />

to no one. He often asked the man monitoring<br />

our visit to corroborate what he was saying,<br />

almost as if to include him in the conversation.<br />

He talked about history and philosophy<br />

and about recent books he had read. He<br />

praised the prison library, which he said,” was<br />

markedly better than the one in the US jail in<br />

Tennessee, which had “only Tom Clancy novels<br />

and one old book on the US Presidents.”<br />

I had been forced to leave my notes outside<br />

and though I had many questions, I was<br />

not allowed to ask him anything about the<br />

trial, not even the names of his attorneys. <strong>The</strong><br />

hour passed quickly and the guard soon told<br />

us we would have to go. When we stood we<br />

looked questioningly at the guard and he nodded<br />

to us. We shook hands with Ernst, slowly,<br />

he taking each of our hands in both of his.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were big, soft, and warm; although Ernst<br />

is only six years older than I, he reminded me<br />

of my father saying goodbye when we last<br />

parted.<br />

Holocaust Denial<br />

Contrary to the warning given to people<br />

who currently tour Auschwitz, “Holocaust<br />

denial” is not infectious. In many ways the<br />

term is used as an epithet to discredit and<br />

demean those who question facts surrounding<br />

the Holocaust. Nor is Holocaust denial<br />

anti-Semitic; there are many Jews who question<br />

facts about the Holocaust and many more<br />

who object to its being used to elevate Jewish<br />

suffering above that of others.[2] Treating<br />

those who question the Holocaust as heretics<br />

reveals the degree to which the Holocaust<br />

itself has become a religion, a faith to<br />

be accepted and worshiped with spectacular<br />

memorials, best-selling books, and mandatory<br />

curricula for school children.<br />

Ernst believes that Jewish groups have<br />

wanted him jailed for promoting views that<br />

the Jewish-Zionist lobby considers harmful<br />

to its interests. He claims that the only sustained<br />

and institutionalized efforts to imprison<br />

him have come from this lobby, which<br />

includes the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the<br />

Canadian Jewish Congress, the Canadian Holocaust<br />

Remembrance Association, and the<br />

League for Human Rights of B’nai B’rith<br />

(with the Anti-Defamation League, its counterpart<br />

in the US). It is noteworthy that even<br />

the ACLU refused to defend his right of free<br />

speech.[3]<br />

Ernst Zuendel is neither a monster nor a<br />

heretic. He is a man with strong convictions<br />

and the courage to express them. He views<br />

himself not as a Holocaust “denier,” but rather<br />

as a Holocaust revisionist. For that he has been<br />

rendered by the United States, which otherwise<br />

professes to protect the right of free<br />

speech and the writ of habeas corpus, and by<br />

Canada, both countries in which he broke no<br />

law. To force him back to his birth country to<br />

be tried for a “crime” which he never committed<br />

in Germany is unjust. Those who<br />

would incarcerate revisionists like Ernst<br />

Zuendel and hold them, without bail, for years<br />

on end to drain them of their resources and to<br />

silence them as “Prisoners of Zion” could well<br />

be labeled as “justice deniers.” END<br />

Scientists Threatened for<br />

'Climate Denial'<br />

Scientists who questioned mankind's impact<br />

on climate change have received death<br />

threats and claim to have been shunned by<br />

the scientific community.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y say the debate on global warming<br />

has been "hijacked" by a powerful alliance<br />

of politicians, scientists and environmentalists<br />

who have stifled all questioning about<br />

the true environmental impact of carbon dioxide<br />

emissions.<br />

Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor<br />

at the University of Winnipeg in<br />

Canada, has received five deaths threats by<br />

email since raising concerns about the degree<br />

to which man was affecting climate<br />

change. One warned that, if he continued to<br />

speak out, he would not live to see further<br />

global warming.<br />

"Western governments have pumped<br />

billions of dollars into careers and institutes<br />

and they feel threatened," said the professor.<br />

"I can tolerate being called a sceptic because<br />

all scientists should be sceptics, but<br />

then they started calling us deniers, with all<br />

the connotations of the Holocaust. That is<br />

an obscenity. It has got really nasty.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Destruction of Joe McCarthy:<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are profound lessons for today's<br />

White <strong>American</strong>s in the saga of this misled hero.<br />

by Scott Speidel, Florida State University<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

"Average <strong>American</strong>s can do very little insofar as digging<br />

Communist espionage agents out of our government is concerned.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y must depend upon those of us whom they<br />

send down here to man the watch-towers of the nation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> thing that I think we must remember is that this is a<br />

war, which a brutalitarian force has won to a greater<br />

extent than any brutalitarian force has won a war in the<br />

history of the world before.<br />

"You can talk about Communism as though it's something<br />

ten thousand miles away. Let me say it's right here<br />

with us now. Unless we make sure that there is no infiltration<br />

of our government, then just as certain as you sit there,<br />

in the period of our lives you will see a Red world.<br />

"Anyone who has followed the Communist conspiracy,<br />

even remotely, and can add two and two, will tell you that<br />

there is no remote possibility of this war which we are in<br />

today--and it's a war, a war which we've been losing--no<br />

remote possibility of this ending except by victory or by<br />

death for this civilization."<br />

THOSE WORDS were spoken 40 years ago by U.S.<br />

Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy, Republican of<br />

Wisconsin, a man who since has been demonized unjustly.<br />

Since McCarthy's time the subversion of our<br />

nation has proceeded steadily, and his warning to us<br />

resonates more and more clearly as truth, now that<br />

death for this civilization is in view.<br />

Joseph McCarthy's fame as an anti-Communist began with a<br />

speech he delivered on February 9, 1950, to the Republican<br />

Women's Club in Wheeling, West Virginia, in which he said that<br />

there were at least 57 known Communists in the U.S. State De-<br />

partment, and that the State Department knew they were there.<br />

McCarthy's charge was credible, because President Harry<br />

Truman's Secretary of State at the time, Dean Acheson (pictured,<br />

on the Time cover below), was well known as a man sympathetic<br />

to Communism and Communists.<br />

As far back as the 1930s Acheson had worked as a lawyer on<br />

behalf of Stalin's regime, prior to the diplomatic recognition of<br />

the Soviet Union by the<br />

United States, and recently<br />

he had ignored<br />

reports about the Communist<br />

Party connections<br />

of his protege at<br />

the State Department,<br />

Alger Hiss. Acheson<br />

also had been the chief<br />

U.S. advisor at the Yalta<br />

Conference, in February<br />

1945, which consigned<br />

eastern Europe<br />

to Communist rule, and<br />

he presided over the<br />

drafting of the United<br />

Nations Charter. In the<br />

State Department<br />

Acheson fostered the<br />

careers of Communists<br />

and stifled the careers of anti-Communists.<br />

Furthermore, as Ohio's Republican Senator<br />

Robert Taft<br />

said at the time, "Pro-Communist policies of the State Department<br />

fully justify<br />

Joe<br />

McCarthy in his<br />

demand for an<br />

investigation."<br />

Communist infiltration<br />

of the<br />

U.S. government<br />

had occurred<br />

on a<br />

grand scale during<br />

the reign of<br />

Franklin<br />

Roosevelt (pictured).<br />

azine<br />

and pro-Communists on the government payroll, but FDR refused<br />

to take action, saying:<br />

“I do not believe in Communism any more than you do, but<br />

there is nothing wrong with the Communists in this country. Several<br />

of the best friends I have are Communists. . . . I do not<br />

regard the Communists as any present or future threat to our<br />

country; in fact, I look upon Russia as our strongest ally in the<br />

years to come. As I told you when you began your investigation,<br />

you should confine yourself to Nazis and Fascists.<br />

While I do not believe in Communism, Russia is far better<br />

off and the world is safer under Communism than under the<br />

Czars.”<br />

Under the circumstances, McCarthy's charge that there were<br />

57 known Communists in the State Department seems very modest.<br />

McCarthy had been a maverick from the beginning. In 1949<br />

he had dared champion the cause of German prisoners of war<br />

held in connection with the alleged "Malmédy massacre." In<br />

truth, what had happened near the Belgian town of Malmédy in<br />

December 1944 was unclear at the time, part of what U.S. General<br />

Thomas T. Handy, who in 1949 was the commander in chief<br />

of U.S. forces in Europe, called "a confused, mobile, and desperate<br />

combat action." It is known now that a number of <strong>American</strong><br />

soldiers who had surrendered there to the Germans were<br />

shortly thereafter killed in cross fire when their captors, who<br />

were marching them to a rear area, were engaged by other U.S.<br />

units. When their bodies were found by U.S. forces afterward<br />

with their hands tied behind their backs, however, it appeared<br />

that they might have been deliberately killed.<br />

After the war, Germans who had taken part in the fighting<br />

at Malmédy were turned over to U.S. Army Colonel A.H.<br />

Rosenfeld and his Jewish underlings for "interrogation." <strong>The</strong><br />

prisoners were arbitrarily reduced to civilian status so that they<br />

would not be protected by the Geneva Convention, and brutal<br />

torture was used to extract confessions. When 18-year-old prisoner<br />

Arvid Freimuth hanged himself after repeated beatings<br />

rather than sign a "confession," the prosecutors were permitted<br />

to use as "evidence" the unsigned statement which they themselves<br />

had contrived.<br />

McCarthy dared to speak against this officially sanctioned<br />

lynching, when almost no one else had the courage to do so. By<br />

fearlessly championing the underdogs, the defeated and vilified<br />

Germans, and speaking out against the actual atrocities committed<br />

by self-righteous aliens in <strong>American</strong> uniform, the Senator<br />

demonstrated the rare moral courage that later propelled him<br />

into the forefront of the struggle against Communism.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Senator<br />

Raymond Baldwin, Republican of Connecticut, was assigned to<br />

investigate the charges of torture, but whitewashed them instead.<br />

On July 26, 1949, Senator McCarthy withdrew in disgust from<br />

the hearings and announced in a speech on the Senate floor that<br />

two members of the Committee, Senator Baldwin and Senator<br />

Estes Kefauver, Democrat of Tennessee, had law partners among<br />

the Army interrogators they were supposedly investigating. This<br />

was in several ways a preview of things to come.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Jews showed instant hostility toward anyone who<br />

interfered with their campaign of vengeance against the conquered<br />

Germans, and so they began turning their big guns in the<br />

media against McCarthy: a December 1949 poll of news correspondents<br />

covering the United States Senate already had reporters<br />

branding McCarthy "the worst Senator" -- a high honor indeed.<br />

When McCarthy had arrived in Washington as a freshman<br />

Senator in 1946, he had been invited to lunch by Secretary of<br />

the Navy James Forrestal (pictured, below). McCarthy writes:,<br />

“Before meeting Jim Forrestal I thought we were losing to<br />

international Communism because of incompetence and stupidity<br />

on the part of our planners. I mentioned that to Forrestal. I<br />

shall forever remember his answer. He said, "McCarthy, consistency<br />

has never been a mark of stupidity. If they were merely<br />

stupid they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor."<br />

This phrase struck me so forcefully that I have often used it<br />

since.” (Which may explain why Forrestal was thrown from the<br />

upper floors of the hospital in Washington)<br />

Considering the destructive policies that thrived in Washington,<br />

McCarthy concluded that to fight Communism effectively<br />

it was not enough to denounce Communism in general;<br />

anyone -- even a Communist -- could claim to oppose Communism.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Senator decided that it was necessary to identify those<br />

responsible for treasonous policies and then accuse them on the<br />

basis of what they actually had done, not on the basis of the<br />

ideas to which they paid lip service.<br />

A special investigating subcommittee chaired by Senator<br />

Millard Tydings, Democrat of Maryland, was set up purportedly<br />

to investigate McCarthy's claim that Communists and pro-Communists<br />

were being harbored in the State Department. In reality,<br />

as Tydings himself admitted, the purpose was to silence<br />

McCarthy. Tydings boasted, "Let me have McCarthy for three<br />

days in public hearings, and he will never show his face in the<br />

Senate again." Tydings' effort to discredit the upstart patriot<br />

would be heavily aided by the major media.<br />

One of the reporters present at the hearings was Elmer Davis,<br />

a prominent radio commentator who had been head of the Office<br />

of War Information (OWI). McCarthy noted: Many of<br />

the [principals in the] cases I was about to present had once<br />

been employees in the OWI under Davis and then had moved<br />

into the State Department. As I glanced at Davis, I recalled that<br />

Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, one of the anti-Communist leaders of<br />

Poland, had warned the State Department, while Davis was head,<br />

how Pearson would cover the story. . . .<br />

As I waited for the chairman to open the hearing I, of course,<br />

knew the left-wing elements of the press would twist and distort<br />

the story to protect every Communist whom I exposed, but<br />

frankly I had no conception of how far the dishonest news coverage<br />

would go.<br />

In the case of Owen Lattimore, the testimony of McCarthy's<br />

chief witness, ex-Communist Louis Budenz, was widely misrepresented.<br />

Lattimore was a scholar on Far Eastern affairs employed<br />

by the State Department as a consultant; he had advised<br />

the State Department that Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-<br />

Tung was merely "a liberal agrarian reformer" at a time when<br />

Washington was still unsure how to react to Mao's efforts to<br />

overthrow the Chinese government. In McCarthy's words:<br />

[Budenz] . . . testified that . . . [Lattimore], who had been employed<br />

by the government, consulted for years by State Department<br />

officials on Far Eastern policy, and looked to by newspapermen<br />

and magazine editors for news on Far Eastern trends,<br />

had been a member of the Communist Party. Many newspapers<br />

and wire services so twisted Budenz's testimony about Lattimore,<br />

however, that it was not clear to most <strong>American</strong>s that Lattimore<br />

had indeed been identified positively as a Communist.<br />

One honest reporter, Dave McConnell of the New York Heald<br />

Tribune, wrote in the May 16, 1950, edition of his now defunct<br />

paper that "you have to use a sieve to strain out the bias in the<br />

McCarthy stories published in many papers."<br />

“Tail-gunner Joe," as McCarthy was nicknamed by the<br />

press, was seen by many as a national hero. A Gallup poll taken<br />

May 21, 1950, showed that among the general public he had<br />

four supporters for every three detractors. In a later Gallup poll,<br />

taken in January 1954, 50 per cent of the public viewed him<br />

favorably, and 29 per cent viewed him unfavorably. McCarthy<br />

(pictured, right) was the one man in Washington, D.C., who<br />

bucked the bipartisan pressure to be polite to America's enemies<br />

and to "get man who took anti-Communism seriously is willing<br />

to do something about it.<br />

At the time conservative writer Harold Lord Varney wrote<br />

in the <strong>American</strong> Mercury:<br />

“McCarthy is where he is today because he satisfies the deep<br />

national hunger for an affirmative man. In a Washington of vacillating,<br />

irresolute,<br />

pressuregroup-cowed<br />

politicians, he<br />

He sometimes gets too far out in front of public opinion, but<br />

so far public opinion has always followed him. . . . Because<br />

McCarthy has been willing to act as the shock absorber of the<br />

main stream of pro-Communist abuse, the careers of all [other]<br />

anti-Communists have been made easier. . . .<br />

One far-reaching consequence of [McCarthy's fight] has been<br />

its impact upon the <strong>American</strong> world of ideas. <strong>The</strong> climate of<br />

<strong>American</strong> public discussion has been amazingly cleared<br />

since McCarthy began to fight. . . . <strong>The</strong> long grip on the nation's<br />

communications media exercised by the literary Reds and Pinkos<br />

has been broken. .”<br />

This is all very different, of course, from today's popular conception,<br />

which was molded by the controlled media. Little is<br />

said of McCarthy's popularity, which even Eisenhower dared<br />

not challenge directly. Instead, we are led to believe that<br />

McCarthy was a brutal tyrant who somehow managed to run<br />

roughshod over everyone's civil liberties and give the entire country<br />

a very bad case of claustrophobia for several years, all of this<br />

as chairman of a Senate subcommittee.<br />

Make no mistake about it, McCarthy did cause considerable<br />

discomfort to some people: to the alien subversives and traitors<br />

whose ultimate goal was and still is the New World Order. It<br />

was these people who, in their effort to silence McCarthy, ironically<br />

characterized him as an enemy of free speech. <strong>The</strong> <strong>First</strong><br />

Amendment, of course, had been drafted precisely to protect<br />

men like McCarthy, who dared to identify treason in high places.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were undoubtedly, however, some sincere, patriotic<br />

<strong>American</strong>s who agreed with McCarthy's aim of removing Communists<br />

from government, but who found his method, with all<br />

of its sensationalism and public-relations gimmickry, distasteful.<br />

McCarthy's method was, as he himself explained, a last resort:<br />

“I have followed the method of publicly exposing the truth<br />

about men who, because of incompetence or treason, were betraying<br />

this nation. Another method would be to take the evidence<br />

to the President and ask him to discharge those who were<br />

serving the Communist cause. A third method would be to give<br />

the facts to the proper Senate committee which had the power to<br />

hire investigators and subpoena witnesses and records. <strong>The</strong> second<br />

and third methods . . . were tried without success. . . . <strong>The</strong><br />

only method left to me was to present the truth to the <strong>American</strong><br />

people. This I did.”<br />

People who criticized McCarthy's public accusations merely<br />

as being in poor taste clearly did not appreciate the gravity of<br />

the situation and the necessity for taking action. Also it should<br />

be noted that McCarthy had not wanted to read his original list<br />

of 57 subversives publicly, but the Tydings Committee required<br />

it of him. According to the Congressional Record of Feb 20,<br />

1950, p. 2049, McCarthy protested on the Senate floor:<br />

“I think . . . it would be improper to make the names public<br />

until the appropriate Senate Committee can meet in executive<br />

session and get them. . .It might leave a wrong impression.”<br />

Unfortunately, "the wrong impression" was exactly what the<br />

Tydings Committee wished to promote. In other words, contrary<br />

to the reputation for "recklessness" that was applied to him,<br />

McCarthy exercised his <strong>First</strong> Amendment right with great care.<br />

Like some resurrected Paul Revere or latter-day Cicero, it was<br />

he who sounded the alarm, who let the <strong>American</strong> people know<br />

that their government had been subverted by alien interests; and<br />

it was the shadow government of "globalists" who wished to<br />

silence him, so that their power and their pernicious influence<br />

would remain hidden from the <strong>American</strong> people. International<br />

Communism and international finance -- the twin thrusts of Jewish<br />

power -- were both ill-served by the attention McCarthy drew<br />

to the issues of loyalty and subversion. In the 1952 elections the<br />

Republicans captured both houses of Congress and the Presidency,<br />

largely due to McCarthy's influence. McCarthy became<br />

chairman of the Senate's Government Operations Committee and<br />

its Subcommittee on Investigations. <strong>The</strong> new President, however,<br />

was a pet of the New World Order clique, and he would<br />

succeed where Truman had failed in discrediting McCarthy.<br />

In the discrediting of McCarthy, there is no doubt that there<br />

was a conspiracy at work. We know this because men who were<br />

privy to the conspiracy later wrote books about it. <strong>The</strong> activities<br />

of the conspirators were, of course, necessarily subtle;<br />

Eisenhower (pictured, left) himself studiously avoided even mentioning<br />

McCarthy's name in public, and the media coverage was<br />

almost unbelievably biased. Thus, for the general public, the<br />

arrangements which brought down McCarthy were a mystery,<br />

though in essence they were very simple: McCarthy was maneuvered<br />

into an awkward position, the major media portrayed<br />

him as unfavorably as possible, and his colleagues deserted him.<br />

McCarthy's reputation was destroyed chiefly by the feud that<br />

two staffers on his Subcommittee on Investigations, Roy Cohn<br />

and G. David Schine, conducted against the United States Army,<br />

contrary to McCarthy's wishes.<br />

Under pressure from influential Jewish columnist George<br />

Sokolsky and the Jewish president of the Hearst Corporation,<br />

Richard Berlin, both purported anti-Communists, McCarthy announced<br />

on January 2, 1953, that 26-year-old Roy Cohn (pictured<br />

below and to right)<br />

would be the chief counsel of the Investigations Subcommittee.<br />

Cohn, the son of New York Supreme Court Judge Albert Cohn,<br />

had been well served by his Jewish connections in the past, having<br />

been hired as an assistant U.S. attorney immediately after<br />

passing the New York bar Examination. Cohn himself later admitted<br />

that he was hired by McCarthy primarily because he was<br />

a Jew:<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

<strong>The</strong>re was a growing slander abroad in the land . that<br />

McCarthy was a Jew-hater . . . and he wanted to deflect it. I was<br />

the obvious answer, and the alternative -- [Robert Kennedy,] the<br />

son of the well-known, well-documented anti-Semite Joseph P.<br />

Kennedy, the former pro-Hitler ambassador to the Court of St.<br />

James -- was the last person McCarthy needed to head his committee.<br />

It probably need not be stressed that the Jews themselves<br />

were the source of this "slander" that McCarthy felt obliged to<br />

counter. Thus, McCarthy was stuck with Cohn; privately he expressed<br />

the fear that if Cohn resigned for any reason the charge<br />

of "anti-Semitism" immediately would be raised against him<br />

again.<br />

Furthermore, with most of the news media already solidly<br />

against him, McCarthy was desperate for some favorable press<br />

coverage. Illinois Republican Senator Everett Dirksen commented,<br />

"Cohn was put on the Committee by the Hearst press,<br />

and Joe doesn't dare lose that support."<br />

Cohn, who died<br />

of AIDS in 1986,<br />

was a homosexual,<br />

and rumor<br />

of the perversion<br />

became widespread<br />

after Cohn<br />

had brought another<br />

young Jew,<br />

G. David Schine,<br />

onto McCarthy's<br />

staff. According<br />

to Cohn himself<br />

in his autobiography,<br />

Cohn and<br />

Schine were then<br />

rumored to be<br />

"Jack and Jill."<br />

This rumor was<br />

undoubtedly a<br />

great embarrassment<br />

to<br />

McCarthy, since<br />

the controlled media<br />

had not yet<br />

succeeded in<br />

making homosexuality<br />

fashionable,<br />

and homosexuals<br />

were<br />

among the security<br />

risks to be investigated.<br />

At Cohn's insistence,<br />

Schine<br />

was accepted as<br />

an unpaid "chief<br />

consultant" on<br />

Communism.<br />

Schine's credentials<br />

for this position<br />

were that he<br />

azine<br />

had authored a pamphlet, Definition of Communism, which his<br />

wealthy parents had allowed him to distribute in their hotel chain.<br />

This pamphlet gave incorrect dates for the Russian Revolution<br />

and the founding of the Communist Party, confused Marx with<br />

Lenin, Stalin with Trotsky, and Kerensky with Prince Lvov, and<br />

got Lenin's name wrong. <strong>The</strong> Jewish millionaire-playboy was<br />

thus highly qualified, in Cohn's view, to be a consultant.<br />

McCarthy hoped that he could save himself from accusations<br />

of "anti-Semitism" with Roy Cohn, and if necessary, with<br />

Dave Schine. But the day McCarthy accepted these two Jews as<br />

his assistants was the day his downfall really began.<br />

As the son of a Jewish multi-millionaire, Schine had avoided<br />

the draft for the Korean War by getting himself classified 4-F.<br />

As soon as he became a staff member of McCarthy's committee,<br />

however, at the instigation of left-wing journalist Drew Pearson<br />

(pictured, below left) the Army reclassified Schine 1-A and<br />

drafted him. Thus, the stage was set for Roy Cohn to involve<br />

McCarthy in a dispute with the United States Army.<br />

It is clear that McCarthy was dragged into this dispute against<br />

his will. Army lawyer John Adams relates: “Senator McCarthy<br />

spoke out quite freely about his irritation over Schine. He told<br />

me that the individual is of absolutely no help to the committee,<br />

was interested in nothing but the photographers and getting his<br />

picture in the papers, and that things had reached the point where<br />

he was a complete pest. McCarthy stated to me quite emphatically<br />

that he was anxious to see this individual drafted, and . . .<br />

he hoped . . . we would send him as far away as possible "to<br />

get him out of [his] hair." . . . "Send him wherever you can, as<br />

far away as possible. Korea is too close."<br />

Cohn raised hell with the Army, first threatening revenge for<br />

the drafting of Schine, then agitating for special treatment for<br />

his putative boyfriend. John Adams stated in a January 21, 1954,<br />

meeting in Attorney General Herbert Brownell's office that demands<br />

for the names of Army loyalty-board members usually<br />

were preceded by flare-ups over the reassignment of Schine.<br />

McCarthy was not happy about this behavior, and he privately<br />

complained that Cohn was indeed carrying out a vendetta against<br />

the Army on account of Schine.<br />

McCarthy had instructed Adams on December 17, 1953,<br />

that, having learned the extent of the interference Cohn and<br />

Schine were causing for the commanding general of Fort ix, he<br />

wished the Army to discontinue all special treatment for Schine.<br />

Subsequently, the alleged anti-Communist Jew, columnist George<br />

Sokolsky, contacted Adams repeatedly, continuing to urge special<br />

treatment for Schine. On February 12, 1954, Sokolsky went<br />

so far as to tell Adams that he, Sokolsky, would "get them to<br />

drop all this stuff they are planning for the Army [i.e., McCarthy's<br />

investigation of Communist subversion in the Army]," if a special<br />

assignment were arranged for Schine. It seemed that<br />

Sokolsky was more concerned about the comfort and onvenience<br />

of one fellow Jew than about the national security of the United<br />

States -- or he was deliberately exacerbating the animosity between<br />

the Army and McCarthy.<br />

Meanwhile, in late January 1954 a story in the New York<br />

Post featured Fort Dix recruits complaining that Schine lived<br />

among them like a visiting dignitary -- and Joseph McCarthy<br />

was taking the blame.<br />

Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens said that he was wary<br />

about "discriminating against" Schine, because Schine was a Jew.<br />

Likewise, McCarthy said that he was afraid to fire Cohn, "because<br />

[I] might be accused of being anti-Semitic." Here we have<br />

the Secretary of the Army and the chairman of a Senate committee,<br />

both paralyzed by fear of being called "anti-Semitic," allowing<br />

26-year-old Roy Cohn and the utterly inconsequential G.<br />

David Schine to walk all over them.<br />

It was not only the fact that McCarthy had felt the wrath of<br />

the Jews when he had spoken out against the barbarous treatment<br />

of German prisoners five years earlier that made him wary<br />

of offending them again. His investigations into Communist subversion<br />

were turning up a vastly disproportionate number of Jewish<br />

Communists, and he was afraid that the Jews would believe<br />

he was hunting Jews rather than Communists.<br />

By using the threat of investigation as a weapon to coerce<br />

the Army into giving special treatment to his friend Schine, Cohn<br />

had tainted the legitimacy of McCarthy's patriotic work. Cohn<br />

was creating exactly the impression of reckless disregard for<br />

fairness and propriety that McCarthy had wished to avoid.<br />

McCarthy had apparently hoped that the alleged anti-Communist<br />

Jews with whom he dealt were what they claimed to be.<br />

With their involvement, however, all his efforts met with grief.<br />

If the Senator had taken account of Jewish traits -- especially<br />

their bent for deception, which goes far beyond anything encountered<br />

in the Gentile world -- then perhaps he would have<br />

braved the charges of "anti-Semitism" rather than tolerate Jews<br />

on his staff.<br />

<strong>The</strong> anti-Communist credentials of Jewish columnist George<br />

Sokolsky, for example, who had recommended Roy Cohn, were<br />

invented rather late in life. In 1917, at the age of 24, Sokolsky<br />

had gone to Russia with a large number of other Jews, filled<br />

with ardor for the prospect of world Communism and hoping to<br />

lend a hand to the Bolsheviks in fastening the Communist yoke<br />

on the Russians. For a while he edited the English-language<br />

Communist newspaper Daily News in Petrograd; then he left for<br />

China to practice his journalistic skills on behalf of the revolutionary<br />

leader Sun Yat-sen, who was working to set up a Communist<br />

government in China and was receiving aid from the<br />

Soviets. In 1931, claiming disillusionment with the methods of<br />

Bolshevism, he returned to the United States, where he used<br />

different methods.<br />

As a right-wing columnist for the Hearst newspapers,<br />

Sokolsky was well-placed to accomplish much for the Jewish<br />

obsession with the New World Order by misdirecting the anti-<br />

Communist movement into blind alleys, false hopes, and confusion<br />

-- and away from the truth. Considering these facts, are we<br />

justified in believing his claim that he had completely changed<br />

his ideals and in the 1950s was fervently against what he had<br />

been fervently for earlier in Russia and china A clue may be<br />

provided by Sokolsky's 1935 book, We Jews, in which he lamented<br />

the fact that Jews are not even more cohesive than they<br />

are. Certainly, no race-conscious Jew could have genuinely supported<br />

McCarthy's efforts to root Communists out of positions<br />

of influence in <strong>American</strong> life, since he would have understood<br />

that exposing Communism meant exposing Jews.<br />

Similarly, Roy Cohn, who called Sokolsky his "rabbi," was<br />

another member of the far left who claimed a miraculous conversion:<br />

as late as 1949 he was openly calling anti-Communism<br />

a "witch-hunt" and said that Alger Hiss was a victim of a<br />

"right-wing conspiracy." Given the legendary cohesiveness of<br />

the Jewish people and the Jewishness of Communism, one is<br />

justified in viewing these overnight conversions with suspicion.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is more than Roy Cohn's youthful attachment to leftist<br />

causes to make us suspicious of his motives: his father Albert<br />

Cohn had been the first judge appointed by Franklin Roosevelt<br />

after the latter became governor of New York. Thus, the Cohns<br />

were firmly attached to the very clique that had fostered what<br />

McCarthy called "twenty years of treason."<br />

It looks very much as if McCarthy, who wished so much to<br />

avoid crossing the Jews, allowed himself to be swindled in the<br />

age-old game of Good Jew/Bad Jew.<br />

<strong>The</strong> man whom Eisenhower had appointed Secretary of the<br />

Army, Robert Stevens, head of the J.P. Stevens textiles business,<br />

was staunchly anti-Communist, having witnessed the pernicious<br />

influence of Communists in exacerbating labor disputes.<br />

Stevens was even distrustful of New Deal supporters. He was<br />

thus appointed not as a member of the New World Order clique<br />

around Ike, but merely as a valuable (if misguided) Republican<br />

booster. Stevens had apparently taken Eisenhower's anti-Communist<br />

campaign rhetoric at face value.<br />

Upon assuming office in February 1953, Stevens requested<br />

a briefing on the Army's Loyalty and Security Program: "<strong>The</strong><br />

presentation should set forth what steps are to be taken to prevent<br />

disloyal and subversive persons from infiltrating the Army,<br />

and what steps have been taken to discover and remove such<br />

persons who may have found their way into the Army Establishment."<br />

So concerned was Stevens about combatting subversion<br />

that he asked advice from J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal<br />

Bureau of Investigation. Finally, when Stevens heard that<br />

McCarthy was concerned about security risks in the Army, he<br />

rushed a telegram to him, offering his assistance in the investigation.<br />

McCarthy's staff announced on September 10, 1953, that<br />

there was very serious evidence of espionage at Fort Monmouth.<br />

<strong>The</strong> evidence was an extract of a report from J. Edgar Hoover to<br />

the head of Army Intelligence. <strong>The</strong> document mentioned 35<br />

Fort Monmouth employees as security risks, most of them Jews<br />

of Russian origin who had been in contact with the atom-bomb<br />

spies, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Stevens instructed the commanding<br />

general at Fort Monmouth: "Cooperate! See to it that<br />

they interview anyone they wish to."<br />

During the investigation at Fort Monmouth, however, attention<br />

was diverted to nearby Camp Kilmer. This was the case of<br />

the Jewish Communist Irving Peress. Peress, an Army dentist<br />

who was proved to be not only a member but an organizer of<br />

Communist groups, had sworn a false oath upon receiving his<br />

officer's commission. Worse, when the matter was exposed Peress<br />

was promoted and later given an honorable discharge, thus escaping<br />

the jeopardy of a court-martial. <strong>The</strong> Peress case was a<br />

tremendous embarrassment to the Army, because it showed that<br />

security in the Army was a mere formality which was easily circumvented.<br />

McCarthy's confidential informant on the Peress case was<br />

General Ralph Zwicker. A hearing in New York City was arranged,<br />

and General Zwicker was called to testify as to the identity<br />

of the Pentagon official who had ordered Peress' honorable<br />

discharge. On the very morning of the hearing, however, Zwicker<br />

received an order from John Adams not to reveal the official's<br />

name. McCarthy did all he could to persuade Zwicker to talk in<br />

spite of the order, but he failed.<br />

<strong>The</strong>reafter the press made a great fuss over McCarthy's rough<br />

treatment of Zwicker and the "insult to the uniform." It was<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

alleged that McCarthy had without cause accused Zwicker of<br />

shielding subversives. Secretary Stevens decided not to allow<br />

General Zwicker or other Army officers to testify further. Says<br />

William Ewald, a Department of Defense official at the time: "A<br />

cheer went up: from anti-McCarthyites within the Administration<br />

itself, from editorial writers far and wide, from liberals<br />

coast to coast." Especially noteworthy was a telephone call to<br />

Stevens from Marshall Plan administrator Paul Hoffman in California<br />

-- at whose residence Eisenhower was then vacationing.<br />

This congratulation was inferred to represent the attitude of that<br />

champion McCarthy-hater, President Ike.<br />

Eisenhower's friend Hoffman was married to Anna<br />

Rosenberg, who had been Truman's Jewish Assistant Secretary<br />

of Defense in 1950 and had been diligent in promoting liberal<br />

rograms in the Army and the other armed services. She, more<br />

than anyone else, had forced full racial integration on the services.<br />

Unlike Ike, however, Secretary Stevens was not an implacable<br />

foe of McCarthy and anti-Communism. Although he<br />

thought Roy Cohn was awful, he said he saw McCarthy as a<br />

"reasonable" man. In a conference with the majority members<br />

of McCarthy's subcommittee, an agreement was reached and<br />

Stevens signed a document that stated this accord. <strong>The</strong> anti-<br />

McCarthy interpretation of this event has been that Secretary<br />

Stevens did not understand what he was doing. More likely,<br />

Stevens did not understand what Eisenhower was doing. Nor<br />

did the <strong>American</strong> people understand!<br />

Stevens said of the media's explosively hostile reaction to<br />

his reconciliation with McCarthy, "I think I have been absolutely<br />

crucified. . . ." Furthermore, he showed naiveté by saying that<br />

he thought the press had "misunderstood" the agreement.<br />

Eisenhower decided to have Secretary Stevens "admit an administrative<br />

error" and renege on the agreement. A repudiation<br />

of Stevens' agreement with McCarthy was composed, and<br />

Stevens was made to read it publicly. Meanwhile, President<br />

Eisenhower's staff, without Stevens' knowledge, had instructed<br />

Stevens' subordinate John Adams to compile a written record of<br />

Cohn's and Schine's behavior. Adams, a holdover from the<br />

Truman administration, apparently was considered more politically<br />

reliable than the conservative Stevens. On March 8, 1954,<br />

when Secretary Stevens was asked about the record of improper<br />

pressure by Cohn and Schine (which John Adams had leaked to<br />

the press a few days earlier) he said, "I personally think that<br />

anything in that line would prove to be very much exaggerated.<br />

. . . I am the Secretary, and I have had some talks with the committee<br />

and the chairman . . . and by and large as far as the treatment<br />

of me is concerned, I have no personal complaints . . . ."<br />

On March 10, although Stevens had not even been aware<br />

of the Schine chronology two days earlier, he was pressured<br />

into approving a version heavily "revised" by Defense Department<br />

attorney Struve Hensel. It was called the "Stevens-Adams<br />

chronology," although Stevens had only just learned of it. Under<br />

pressure, the Secretary of the Army was now lending his<br />

name to a document that he had said would be "very much exaggerated."<br />

In late April 1954 the Army-McCarthy hearings began. <strong>The</strong><br />

Army had accused McCarthy and Roy Cohn of using improper<br />

pressure, evidence of this being the so-called "Stevens-Adams<br />

chronology." McCarthy counter-charged that the Army was trying<br />

to discredit his committee and stop its investigation of the<br />

Army.<br />

During the hearings Stevens was the Army's "star witness."<br />

He "stonewalled" the subcommittee, giving vague, unresponsive,<br />

and often self-contradictory testimony. It became clear to<br />

McCarthy that Stevens was acting under orders from<br />

Eisenhower's staff. <strong>The</strong> Army's case, however, already had been<br />

blown sky-high, and McCarthy essentially vindicated, when<br />

Senator Everett Dirksen, a member of the McCarthy Subcommittee,<br />

testified that the Army's counsel John Adams and<br />

Eisenhower's administrative assistant Gerald Morgan had approached<br />

him on January 22, 1954, seeking to stifle part of<br />

McCarthy's investigation of the Army. Dirksen testified that<br />

Adams had mentioned the Army's file on Cohn and Schine, dropping<br />

a "hint" That these files might be very damaging if they<br />

were "issued and ventilated on the front pages" of newspapers.<br />

At this point, John Adams, not wishing to be the lone scapegoat<br />

for Eisenhower, and, furthermore, living under the possibility<br />

of a prosecution for perjury, revealed that he had been told<br />

to compile the chronology on Cohn and Schine by members of<br />

Eisenhower's staff in a secret meeting in the Attorney General's<br />

office the day before approaching Dirksen.<br />

<strong>The</strong> White House was now clearly implicated in a conspiracy<br />

to shield subversion in the government. On May 17 Eisenhower,<br />

in an obvious attempt to prevent his own role from being investigated<br />

further, issued what became known as the "iron curtain"<br />

order. Eisenhower claimed that it was a Constitutional principle<br />

that the President could forbid his subordinates from revealing<br />

any information to the Congress. On May 27, after several<br />

more days of vague, unresponsive, and sometimes conflicting<br />

testimony from Stevens, McCarthy responded in exasperation<br />

to Eisenhower's gag order: "<strong>The</strong> oath which every person in this<br />

government takes, to protect and defend the country against all<br />

enemies, foreign and domestic, that oath towers far above any<br />

presidential security directive." He urged federal employees to<br />

come forward with any information they might have about corruption<br />

and subversion in government.<br />

<strong>The</strong> next day Eisenhower had his press secretary convey to<br />

the media a statement that likened McCarthy to Hitler: a comparison<br />

that was not meant to flatter McCarthy. Edward R.<br />

Murrow and other media figures took their cue and began echoing<br />

that line.<br />

McCarthy, however, was expressing essentially the same idea<br />

which <strong>The</strong>odore Roosevelt had expressed half a century earlier,<br />

when the latter said: “It is patriotic to support [the President]<br />

insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not<br />

to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise<br />

he fails in his duty to stand by the country. . In any event,<br />

it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth--whether about the President<br />

or anyone else.<br />

And of course, the truth was exactly what Ike feared.<br />

Was this not the Eisenhower who had carried out Operation<br />

Keelhaul after the Second World War, in which Anti-Communist<br />

Russians, Hungarians, and others were forcibly repatriated<br />

to a certain death under Communism Was this not the<br />

Eisenhower who deliberately starved to death over a million<br />

German prisoners of war And was this not the same Eisenhower<br />

who later sent paratroopers into Little Rock to enforce racial<br />

integration with bayonets<br />

Regardless of the legal result, biased media coverage made<br />

the Army-McCarthy hearings a propaganda victory for the pro-<br />

Communists. Army counsel Joseph Welch (pictured, right),<br />

through hyperbole and histrionics, managed to convince a large<br />

portion of the public that a few peripheral issues he raised during<br />

the hearings were serious embarrassments to McCarthy.<br />

For example, Welch insisted for the television cameras that<br />

part of an FBI report listing subversives at Fort Monmouth was<br />

"a carbon copy of precisely nothing" and "a perfect phoney,"<br />

even though FBI Director Hoover said that he had written it.<br />

Similarly, Welch dramatically accused McCarthy of introducing<br />

a "doctored" photograph into evidence: it was a quite genuine<br />

photograph, which merely had been cropped and enlarged for<br />

the sake of clarity. <strong>The</strong> media played up Welch's accusations<br />

and ignored McCarthy's explanations.<br />

Welch was much more an actor than a lawyer: later, in 1959,<br />

he starred in a major Hollywood production, Anatomy of a<br />

Murder, alongside Jimmy Stewart and Lee Remick. In any event,<br />

during the Army-McCarthy hearings the Senate hearing room<br />

was his stage, and he played his role to the hilt. When McCarthy<br />

pointed out that a member of Welch's own law firm, Fred Fischer,<br />

had been a member of the National Lawyers' Guild, an organization<br />

cited as a Communist front by the Attorney General, Welch<br />

waxed maudlin and sobbed the famous line, "Have you no<br />

sense of decency at long last" Later, outside the hearing room,<br />

Welch wept again for the benefit of the news photographers.*<br />

As reported by the media, Welch was a man of great humanity<br />

who was shocked that McCarthy would be so ignoble as to<br />

attempt to ruin Fischer's career with his accusation, while<br />

McCarthy was a heel for even raising the matter. <strong>The</strong> fact that<br />

McCarthy's charge was perfectly accurate seemed to make no<br />

difference at all to the media.<br />

And so it was with other episodes in the hearings. One contemporary<br />

observer, Harold Varney, noted in the <strong>American</strong> Mercury:<br />

“Unfortunately, the anti-McCarthy press was not honest<br />

enough to admit publicly that the Senator had been vindicated.<br />

<strong>The</strong> smearers continued to parrot the smears, just as if the disproof<br />

were not before the country.<br />

<strong>The</strong> masters of the controlled media were determined to "get"<br />

McCarthy, and they did. <strong>The</strong>y had not directed as much hatred<br />

on any public figure since Adolf Hitler.<br />

By September many of his supporters in the Congress, ever<br />

sensitive to the direction of the political wind, had thrown in<br />

the towel. McCarthy's Senate colleagues stripped him of his<br />

committee chair in<br />

November. On December<br />

2, 1954, the<br />

Senate voted 67-22 to<br />

condemn him for<br />

"conduct contrary to<br />

Senatorial traditions."<br />

<strong>The</strong> condemnation<br />

permanently ended his<br />

effectiveness as a legislator.<br />

up McCarthy through<br />

his breaking of a prehearing<br />

homosexuals. According to writer Brian Burns:, <strong>The</strong> quote,<br />

"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last Have you left<br />

no sense of decency" was asked of the notorious Senator Joe<br />

McCarthy by Attorney Joseph Welch at the climactic moment<br />

of the Army-McCarthy Hearings, a 55-day spectacle that riveted<br />

the attention of the nation in the spring of 1954. A grandfatherly,<br />

bespectacled man with a fondness for neckties, Walpole's<br />

Welch was the lead counsel for the Army during the hearings,<br />

which aired live on the ABC and DuMont networks.<br />

Welch's memorable excoriation of McCarthy came as the bullet<br />

point of a tearful and impassioned speech in which he blasted<br />

McCarthy for his "cruelty and recklessness." It was a moment<br />

that would forever alter the lives of both men... Welch, an<br />

attorney at the Boston law firm of Hale and Dorr, was hired to<br />

represent the Army.... <strong>The</strong> penultimate confrontation with the<br />

Wisconsin senator came on June 9, while Welch was needling<br />

Cohn in cross examination about the contention that there were<br />

130 known Communists working in Army labs throughout the<br />

country.<br />

After stewing for a while in the background, McCarthy<br />

finally interjects after Welch playfully asks Cohn why he doesn't<br />

just have the FBI get all of the Communists out of the Army by<br />

sundown. McCarthy tells Welch that one of his co-workers at<br />

Hale and Dorr, "a young man named Fischer," had belonged for<br />

three or four years to the National Lawyers Guild, an organization<br />

that was named "years and years" ago as the legal bulwark<br />

of the Communist party.<br />

Since Welch was so interested in ferreting out Communists,<br />

he should be made aware of the fact that Fischer was a<br />

member of his own firm, McCarthy said. Welch's response was<br />

brutally effective. Welch: 'Until this moment, Senator, I think I<br />

never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Fred<br />

Fischer is a young man who went to the Harvard Law School<br />

and came into my firm and is starting what looks to be a brilliant<br />

career with us. When I decided to work for this committee, I<br />

asked Jim St. Clair, who sits on my right, to be my first assistant.<br />

I said to Jim, "Pick somebody in the firm to work under you that<br />

you would like." He chose Fred Fischer, and they came down on<br />

an afternoon plane.<br />

That night, when we had taken a little stab at trying to see<br />

what the case was about, Fred Fisher and Jim St. Clair and<br />

I went to dinner together. I then said to these two young men,<br />

"Boys, I don't know anything about you, except I've always<br />

liked you, but if there's anything funny in the life of either one<br />

of you that would hurt anybody in this case, you speak up quick."<br />

'And Fred Fisher said, "Mr. Welch, when I was in the<br />

law school, and for a period of months after, I belonged to the<br />

Lawyers Guild," as you have suggested, Senator. 'He went on to<br />

say, "I am Secretary of the Young Republican's League in Newton<br />

with the son of [the] Massachusetts governor, and I have<br />

the respect and admiration of my community, and I'm sure I have<br />

the respect and admiration of the twenty-five lawyers or so in<br />

Hale & Dorr."<br />

“And I said, "Fred I just don't think I'm going to ask<br />

you to work on the case. If I do, one of these days that will come<br />

out, and go over national television and it will just hurt like the<br />

dickens." And so, Senator, I asked him to go back to Boston.<br />

Little did I dream you could be so reckless and so cruel as to do<br />

an injury to that lad...It is, I regret to say, equally true that I fear<br />

he shall always bear a scar needlessly inflicted by you. If it<br />

were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty, I<br />

would do so.<br />

'I like to think I'm a gentle man, but your forgiveness<br />

will have to come from someone other than me.'<br />

McCarthy: 'Mr. Chairman, may I say that Mr. Welch talks<br />

about this being cruel and reckless. He was just baiting; he has<br />

been baiting Mr. Cohn here for hours, requesting that Mr. Cohn<br />

before sundown get out of any department of the government<br />

anyone who is serving the Communist cause. Now, I just give<br />

this man's record and I want to say, Mr. Welch, that it had been<br />

labeled long before he became a member, as early as 1944.'<br />

Welch: 'Senator, may we not drop this We know he belonged<br />

to the Lawyers Guild. And Mr. Cohn nods his head at<br />

me. I did you, I think, no personal injury, Mr. Cohn'<br />

Cohn: 'No, sir.'<br />

Welch: 'I meant to do you no personal injury, and if I<br />

did, I beg your pardon. Let us not assassinate this lad further,<br />

Senator. You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency,<br />

sir, at long last Have you left no sense of decency' Welch's<br />

stirring condemnation was the beginning of the end for<br />

McCarthy, who would be censured by the Senate later that year.<br />

Following his censure McCarthy returned home to Wisconsin,<br />

where he died of complications from alcoholism in 1957.<br />

He was only 48.<br />

Welch, on the other hand, found himself a national celebrity.<br />

His exposure of McCarthy's bluster earned him high<br />

praise from the media and various civic organizations and his<br />

stirring speech secured him a permanent place in the annals of<br />

history.<br />

While there is little question of the effectiveness of<br />

Welch's condemnation, recent evidence has suggested that it may<br />

not have been as spontaneous as it seemed to those who watched<br />

it unfold live on the air.<br />

A number of historians now believe that McCarthy may have<br />

blundered his way into a carefully planned trap.<br />

One of the strongest advocates of this theory is Nicholas<br />

von Hoffman, who describes the encounter from Cohn's perspective<br />

in Citizen Cohn (<strong>The</strong> Life and Times of Roy Cohn.<br />

Doubleday). Von Hoffman writes that despite the animosity between<br />

the two parties, Welch and McCarthy agreed before the<br />

trial that several areas would be off limits.<br />

Welch agreed that he would not mention Cohn's avoidance<br />

of the draft during World War II. In return, McCarthy's<br />

camp agreed that they would not bring up Fischer's membership<br />

in the Lawyer's Guild.<br />

Von Hoffman and several other sources suggest that<br />

the agreement also extended to Cohn's sexual orientation.<br />

Though he denied it to his dying day, Cohn was widely known<br />

as a homosexual, especially to the Washington insiders that<br />

packed the hearing room each day.<br />

According to several sources, it is possible that Welch<br />

had intentionally provoked McCarthy earlier in his cross examination<br />

by showing Cohn a picture that had been doctored by<br />

the McCarthy camp prior to being submitted as evidence. After<br />

Cohn offers no explanation for how the altered picture came to<br />

be, Welch playfully asks him if it might have been created by a<br />

pixie. McCarthy angrily jumps in. McCarthy: 'Will the counsel<br />

for my benefit define -- I think he might be an expert on that<br />

-- what a pixie is'<br />

Welch: 'Yes, I should say, Senator, that a pixie is a close<br />

THIS IS HOW A GROUP OF PRO-ISRAEL AMERICANS<br />

WANT THE USA TO DESTROY IRAN AFTER THE IRAQ<br />

WAR<br />

EXCELLENT BACKGROUND ON THE HISTORY OF<br />

A I P A C .<br />

REAL INSIDERS by JEFFREY GOLDBERG<br />

A pro-Israel lobby and an F.B.I. sting.<br />

Issue of 2005-07-04 From <strong>The</strong> New Yorker”http://<br />

www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/050704fa_fact<br />

Several years ago, I had dinner at Galileo, a Washington restaurant,<br />

with Steven Rosen, who was then the director of foreign-policy<br />

issues at the <strong>American</strong> Israel Public Affairs Committee.<br />

<strong>The</strong> group, which is better known by its acronym, AIPAC,<br />

lobbies for Israel’s financial and physical security. Likemany<br />

lobbyists, Rosen cultivated reporters, hoping to influence their<br />

writing while keeping his name out of print. He is a voluble<br />

man, and liked to demonstrate his erudition and dispense aphorisms.<br />

One that he often repeated could serve as the credo of K<br />

Street, the Rodeo Drive of Washington’s influence industry: “A<br />

lobby is like a night flower: it thrives in the dark and dies in the<br />

s u n . ”<br />

Lobbyists tend to believe that legislators are susceptible to<br />

relative of a fairy. Shall I proceed, sir Have I enlightened you'<br />

persuasion in ways that executive-branch bureaucrats are not,<br />

At this point, according to sources, the room erupted<br />

and before Rosen came to AIPAC, in 1982 (he had been at the<br />

in laughter. It was a dig at Cohn's expense, but it wasn't a direct<br />

Rand Corporation, the defense-oriented think tank), the group<br />

violation of the agreement, a subtle point that may have been<br />

focussed mainly on Congress. But Rosen arrived brandishing a<br />

lost on McCarthy.<br />

new idea: that the organization could influence the outcome of<br />

Von Hoffman quotes from Michael Straight, who wrote about<br />

policy disputes within the executive branch—in particular, the<br />

the moment in the New Republic. "As law the comment was<br />

Pentagon, the State Department, and the National Security Council.<br />

improper; as humor it was unjust; as drama it was beyond anything<br />

that the theatre could conceive or reproduce."<br />

Rosen began to court officials. He traded in gossip and speculation,<br />

and his reports to AIPAC’S leaders helped them track<br />

Was this dig, and Welch's subsequent needling about<br />

getting all the Communists out by sundown, designed to lure<br />

currents in Middle East policymaking before those currents coalesced<br />

into executive orders. Rosen also used his contacts to<br />

McCarthy into making a foolish attack on Fischer <strong>The</strong>re seems<br />

to be some legitimacy to this argument, especially when one<br />

carry AIPAC’S agenda to the White House. An early success<br />

considers the way that McCarthy later reacts.<br />

came in 1983, when he helped lobby for a strategic coöperation<br />

McCarthy: 'Mr. Chairman, may I say that Mr. Welch talks<br />

agreement between Israel and the United States, which was<br />

about this being cruel and reckless. He was just baiting; he has<br />

signed over the objections of Caspar Weinberger, the Secretary<br />

been baiting Mr. Cohn here for hours...'<br />

of Defense, and which led to a new level of intelligence sharing<br />

Cohn, a talented if unscrupulous lawyer in his own right, is<br />

and military sales.<br />

smart enough not to respond to Welch's thrust and later tries to<br />

AIPAC is a leviathan among lobbies, as influential in its<br />

dissuade McCarthy from pursuing his inquiry into Fischer,<br />

sphere as the National Rifle Association and the <strong>American</strong> Association<br />

of Retired Persons are in theirs, although it is, by com-<br />

though it is to no avail.<br />

Welch: 'Senator, may we not drop this We know he<br />

members, the N.R.A. more than four million.) President Bush,<br />

speaking at the annual AIPAC conference in May of 2004, said,<br />

Cohn: 'No, sir.'<br />

of terrorism and their networks. In a dangerous new cen-<br />

Without asking Welch himself, it's difficult to know how<br />

top tier of lobbies because its concerns are the economic health<br />

much of his speech was real and how much was part of a carefully<br />

designed plan. This anecdote recounted by von Hoffman<br />

and security of a foreign nation, and because its members are<br />

drawn almost entirely from a single ethnic group.<br />

seems to suggest that it was a bit of both.<br />

AIPAC’S professional staff—it employs about a hundred<br />

congressional voting records and shares the results with<br />

he passed a young reporter named John Newhouse who had been<br />

its members, who can then contribute money to candidates directly<br />

or to a network of proIsrael political-action committees.<br />

late and had to accept standing room by the door. As Welch went<br />

by, tears still coursing, he looked at Newhouse and winked.")<br />

<strong>The</strong> Center for Responsive Politics, a public-policy group, estimates<br />

that between 1990 and 2004 these pacs gave candidates<br />

and parties more than twenty million dollars.<br />

Robert H. Asher, a former AIPAC president, told me that the<br />

pacs are usually given euphemistic names. “I started a pac called<br />

Citizens Concerned for the National Interest,” he said. Asher,<br />

who is from Chicago, is a retired manufacturer of lamps and<br />

shades, and a member of the so-called Gang of Four—former<br />

presidents of AIPAC, who steered the group’s policies for more<br />

than two decades. (<strong>The</strong> three others are Larry Weinberg, a California<br />

real-estate developer and a former owner of the Portland<br />

Trail Blazers; Edward Levy, a construction-materials executive<br />

from Detroit; and Mayer “Bubba” Mitchell, a retired builder<br />

based in Mobile, Alabama.)<br />

AIPAC, Asher explained, is loyal to its friends and merciless<br />

to its enemies. In 1982, Asher led a campaign to defeat Paul<br />

Findley, a Republican congressman from Springfield, Illinois,<br />

who once referred to himself as “Yasir Arafat’s best friend in<br />

Congress,” and who later compared Arafat to Gandhi and Martin<br />

Luther King, Jr. ”<strong>The</strong>re was a real desire to help Findley out<br />

of Congress,” Asher said. He identified an obscure Democratic<br />

lawyer in Springfield, Richard Durbin, as someone who could<br />

defeat Findley. “We met at my apartment in Chicago, and I recruited<br />

him to run for Congress,” he recalled. “I probed his views<br />

and I explained things that I had learned mostly from AIPAC. I<br />

wanted to make sure we were supporting<br />

someone who was not only against Paul Findley but also a friend<br />

of Israel.”<br />

Asher went on, “He beat Findley with a lot of help from<br />

Jews, in- state and out-of-state. Now, how did the Jewish money<br />

find him I travelled around the country talking about how we<br />

had the opportunity to defeat someone unfriendly to Israel. And<br />

the gates opened.” Durbin, who went on to win a Senate seat, is<br />

now the Democratic whip. He is a fierce critic of Bush’s Iraq<br />

policy but, like AIPAC, generally supports the Administration’s<br />

approach to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. Durbin says that he<br />

considers Asher to be his “most loyal friend in the Jewish community.”<br />

Mayer Mitchell led a similar campaign, three years ago, to<br />

defeat Earl Hilliard, an Alabama congressman who was a critic<br />

of Israel. Mitchell helped direct support to a young Harvard Law<br />

School graduate named Artur Davis, who challenged Hilliard in<br />

the Democratic primary, and he solicited donations from AIPAC<br />

supporters across America.<br />

Davis won the primary, and the seat. “I asked Bubba how he<br />

felt after Davis won,” Asher said, “and he said, `Just like you<br />

did when Durbin got elected.’ “ Mitchell declined to comment.<br />

AIPAC’S leaders can be immoderately frank about the<br />

group’s influence. At dinner that night with Steven Rosen, I mentioned<br />

a controversy that had enveloped AIPAC in 1992. David<br />

Steiner, a New Jersey real-estate developer who was then serving<br />

as AIPAC’S president, was caught on tape boasting that he<br />

had “cut a deal” with the Administration of George H. W. Bush<br />

to provide more aid to Israel. Steiner also said that he was “negotiating”<br />

with the incoming Clinton Administration over the<br />

appointment of a pro-Israel Secretary of State. “We have a dozen<br />

people in his”—Clinton’s— ”headquarters . . . and they are all<br />

going to get big jobs,” Steiner said. Soon after the tape’s existence<br />

was disclosed, Steiner resigned his post. I asked Rosen if<br />

AIPAC suffered a loss of influence after the Steiner affair. A<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

half smile appeared on his face, and he pushed a napkin across<br />

the table. “You see this napkin” he said. “In twentyfour<br />

hours, we could have the signatures of seventy senators on<br />

this napkin.”<br />

Rosen was influential from the start. He was originally recruited<br />

for the job by Larry Weinberg, one of the Gang of Four,<br />

and he helped choose the group’s leaders, including the current<br />

executive director, Howard Kohr, a Republican who began his<br />

AIPAC career as Rosen’s deputy. Rosen, who can be argumentative<br />

and impolitic, was never a candidate for the top post. “He’s<br />

a bit of a kochleffl”—the Yiddish term for a pot-stirrer, or meddler—Martin<br />

Indyk, who also served as Rosen’s deputy, and<br />

who went on to become President Clinton’s Ambassador to Israel,<br />

says. Rosen has had an unusually eventful private life, marrying<br />

and divorcing six times (he is living again with his first<br />

wife), and he has a well-developed sense of paranoia. When we<br />

met, he would sometimes lower his voice, even when he was<br />

preparing to deliver an anodyne pronouncement. “Hostile ears<br />

are always listening,” he was fond of saying.<br />

Nevertheless, he is a keen analyst of Middle East politics,<br />

and a savvy bureaucratic infighter. His views on the Israeli-Palestinian<br />

conflict are not notably hawkish; he once called himself<br />

“too right for the left, and too left for the right.” He is a<br />

hard-liner on only one subject—Iran—and this preoccupation<br />

helped shape AIPAC’S position: that Iran poses a greater threat<br />

to Israel than any other nation. In this way, AIPAC is in agreement<br />

with a long line of Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister<br />

Ariel Sharon, who fears Iran’s nuclear intentions more than<br />

he ever feared Saddam Hussein’s. (AIPAC lobbied Congress in<br />

favor of the Iraq war, but Iraq has not been one of its chief concerns.)<br />

Rosen’s main role at AIPAC, he once told me, was to<br />

collect evidence of “Iranian perfidy” and share it with the United<br />

S t a t e s .<br />

Unlike <strong>American</strong> neoconservatives, who have openly supported<br />

the Likud Party over the more liberal Labor Party, AIPAC<br />

does not generally take sides in Israeli politics. But on Iran<br />

AIPAC’S views resemble those of the neoconservatives. In 1996,<br />

Rosen and other AIPAC staff members helped write, and engineer<br />

the passage of, the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act, which<br />

imposed sanctions on foreign oil companies doing business with<br />

those two countries; AIPAC is determined, above all, to deny<br />

Iran the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons. Iran was a main<br />

focus of this year’s AIPAC policy conference, which was held<br />

in May at the Washington Convention Center. Ariel Sharon and<br />

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, among others, addressed<br />

five thousand AIPAC members. One hall of the convention center<br />

was taken up by a Disney- style walk-through display of an<br />

Iranian nuclear facility. It was kitsch, but not ineffective, and<br />

Rosen undoubtedly would have appreciated it. Rosen, however,<br />

was not there. He was fired earlier this year by Howard Kohr,<br />

nine months after he became implicated in<br />

an F.B.I. espionage investigation. Rosen’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell,<br />

expects him to be indicted on charges of passing secret information<br />

about Iranian intelligence activities in Iraq to an official of<br />

the Israeli Embassy and to a Washington Post reporter. A junior<br />

colleague, Keith Weissman, who served as an Iran analyst for<br />

AIPAC until he, too, was fired, may face similar charges.<br />

<strong>The</strong> person who, in essence, ended Rosen’s career is a fiftyeight-<br />

year-old Pentagon analyst named Lawrence Anthony<br />

Franklin, who is even more preoccupied with Iran than Steven<br />

Rosen. Franklin, until recently the<br />

Pentagon’s Iran desk officer, was indicted<br />

last month on espionage charges. <strong>The</strong> Justice<br />

Department has accused him of giving<br />

“national-defense information” to<br />

Rosen and Weissman, and classified information<br />

to an Israeli official. Franklin<br />

has pleaded not guilty; a tentative trial date<br />

is set for September. If convicted, he will<br />

face at least ten years in prison.<br />

I first met Franklin in November of<br />

2002. Paul Wolfowitz, then the Deputy<br />

Secretary of Defense, was receiving the<br />

Henry M. (Scoop) Jackson award from the<br />

Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs,<br />

a conservative-leaning group that<br />

tries to build close relations between the<br />

<strong>American</strong> and Israeli militaries. In the ballroom<br />

of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at Pentagon<br />

City, a shopping mall, were a number<br />

of <strong>American</strong> generals and the Israeli Ambassador<br />

to the United States, Danny<br />

Ayalon.<br />

Franklin, a trim man with blond hair<br />

and a military bearing, is a colonel in the<br />

Air Force Reserve who spent several years<br />

as an analyst at the Defense Intelligence<br />

Agency. He has a doctorate in Asian studies<br />

and describes himself as a capable<br />

speaker of Farsi. In addition, he was a<br />

Catholic in a largely Jewish network of<br />

Pentagon Iran hawks.<br />

Franklin was particularly close to the<br />

neoconservative Harold Rhode, an official<br />

in the Office of Net Assessment, the<br />

Pentagon’s in-house think tank. Franklin<br />

was also close to Michael Ledeen, who,<br />

twenty years ago, played an important role<br />

in the Iran-Contra scandal by helping arrange<br />

meetings between the <strong>American</strong><br />

government and the Iranian arms dealer<br />

Manucher Ghorbanifar. Ledeen, now a<br />

resident scholar at the <strong>American</strong> Enterprise<br />

Institute, is one of the most outspoken<br />

advocates in Washington of confrontation<br />

with the Tehran regime.<br />

<strong>The</strong> conversation at the banquet, and<br />

just about everywhere else in official<br />

Washington at that time, centered on the<br />

coming war in Iraq. “We may well hope<br />

that with the demise of a truly evil and<br />

despotic regime in Iraq, we will see the<br />

liberation of one of the most talented<br />

peoples in the Arab world,” Wolfowitz<br />

said in his speech. Franklin did not seem<br />

especially concerned with the topic at<br />

hand. As we stood outside the banquet<br />

hall, he said that Iran, not Iraq, would turn<br />

out to be the most difficult challenge in<br />

the war on terror.<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

<strong>The</strong>n, as now, the Administration was<br />

divided on the question of Iran. Many of<br />

the political appointees at the Defense<br />

Department hoped that America would<br />

support dissidents in an attempt to overthrow<br />

Iran’s ruling clerics, while the State<br />

Department argued for containment. Even<br />

within the Defense Department, many officials<br />

believed that it would be imprudent<br />

to make regime change in Tehran a top priority.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re are neocons who thought Iran<br />

should come sooner and neocons who<br />

thought it should come later,” Reuel Marc<br />

Gerecht, of the <strong>American</strong> Enterprise Institute,<br />

told me. As for Franklin, Gerecht,<br />

a former Iran specialist in the C.I.A.’s Directorate<br />

of Operations, said, “It’s fair to<br />

say that Larry was impatient with Bush<br />

Administration policy on Iran.” In the<br />

Pentagon’s policy office, I learned later,<br />

it was sometimes said that Franklin inhabited<br />

a place called Planet Franklin. Gerecht<br />

referred to him as “sweet, bumbling<br />

Larry.”<br />

A year later, on a reporting assignment<br />

in Israel, I ran into Franklin at the Herzliya<br />

Conference, which is the Davos of the Israeli<br />

security establishment. He said that<br />

he was there on Defense Department business.<br />

We talked briefly about Iraq—it was<br />

eight months after the invasion—and, as<br />

we spoke, General Moshe Ya’alon, then<br />

the Israeli Army chief of staff, swept into<br />

the room surrounded by bodyguards and<br />

uniformed aides. “Wow,” Franklin said.<br />

We stepped outside, and he talked only<br />

about Iran’s threat to America. “Our intelligence<br />

is blind,” he said. “It’s the most<br />

dangerous country in the world to the U.S.,<br />

and we have nothing on the ground. We<br />

don’t understand anything that goes on. I<br />

mean, the C.I.A. doesn’t have anything.<br />

This goes way deeper than Tenet”—<br />

George Tenet, who was the director of central<br />

intelligence at the time. He continued,<br />

“Do you know how dangerous Iran is to<br />

our forces in the Gulf We have great<br />

force-concentration issues now”—the<br />

presence of <strong>American</strong> troops in Iraq—<br />

”and the Iranians are very interested in<br />

making life difficult for <strong>American</strong> forces.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have the capability. You watch what<br />

they’re doing in Iraq. <strong>The</strong>ir infiltration is<br />

everywhere.”<br />

Franklin seemed more frustrated with<br />

<strong>American</strong> policy in Iran than he had the<br />

year before. “We don’t understand that it’s<br />

doable—regime change is doable,” he<br />

said. “<strong>The</strong> people are so desperate to become<br />

free, and the mullahs are so unpopular.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re so pro-<strong>American</strong>, the<br />

people.” Referring to the Bush Administration,<br />

he said, “That’s what they<br />

don’t understand,” and he added, “And<br />

they also don’t understand how anti-<br />

<strong>American</strong> the mullahs are.” Franklin<br />

was convinced that the Iranians would<br />

commit acts of terrorism against <strong>American</strong>s,<br />

on <strong>American</strong> soil. “<strong>The</strong>se guys are<br />

a threat to us in Iraq and even at home,”<br />

he said.<br />

Franklin was not a high-ranking<br />

Pentagon official; he was five steps<br />

removed in the hierarchy from Douglas<br />

Feith, the Under-Secretary for Policy.<br />

For two years, though, he had been trying<br />

to change <strong>American</strong> policy. His efforts<br />

took many forms, including calls<br />

to reporters, meetings with Rosen and<br />

Weissman and with the political counsellor<br />

at the Israeli Embassy, Naor<br />

Gilon. According to Tracy O’Grady-<br />

Walsh, a Pentagon spokeswoman, he<br />

was not acting on behalf of his superiors:<br />

“If Larry Franklin was formally or<br />

informally lobbying, he was doing it on<br />

his own.”<br />

Franklin also sought information<br />

from Iranian dissidents who might aid<br />

his cause. In December of 2001, he and<br />

Rhode met in Rome with Michael<br />

Ledeen and a group of Iranians, including<br />

Manucher Ghorbanifar. Ledeen,<br />

who helped arrange the meeting, told<br />

me that the dissidents gave Franklin<br />

and Rhode information about Iranian<br />

threats against <strong>American</strong> soldiers in Afghanistan.<br />

(Rhode did not return calls<br />

seeking comment.) Franklin was initially<br />

skeptical about the meeting,<br />

Ledeen said, but emerged believing that<br />

America could do business with these<br />

dissidents.<br />

Franklin’s meetings with Gilon and<br />

with the two AIPAC men make up the<br />

heart of the indictment against him. <strong>The</strong><br />

indictment alleges that Rosen—”CC-<br />

1,” or “Co-Conspirator 1”—called the<br />

Pentagon in early August of 2002, looking<br />

for the name of an Iran specialist.<br />

He made contact with Franklin a short<br />

time later, but, according to the indictment,<br />

they did not meet until February<br />

of 2003. In their meetings, according<br />

to several people with knowledge of the<br />

conversations, Franklin told the lobbyists<br />

that Secretary of State Colin Powell<br />

was resisting attempts by the Pentagon<br />

to formulate a tougher Iran policy. He<br />

apparently hoped to use AIPAC to<br />

lobby the Administration.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Franklin indictment suggests that<br />

the F.B.I. had been watching Rosen as<br />

well; for instance, it alleges that, in February<br />

of 2003, Rosen, on his way to a<br />

meeting with Franklin, told someone on<br />

the phone that he “was excited to meet<br />

with a `Pentagon guy’ because this person<br />

was a `real insider.’ “ Franklin, Rosen,<br />

and Weissman met openly four times in<br />

2003. At one point, the indictment reads,<br />

somewhat mysteriously, “On or about<br />

March 10, 2003, Franklin, CC-1 and CC-<br />

2”— Rosen and Weissman—”met at<br />

Union Station early in the morning. In the<br />

course of the meeting, the three men<br />

moved from one restaurant to another restaurant<br />

and then finished the meeting in<br />

an empty restaurant.”<br />

On June 26, 2003, at a lunch at the<br />

Tivoli Restaurant, near the Pentagon,<br />

Franklin reportedly told Rosen and<br />

Weissman about a draft of a National Security<br />

Presidential Directive that outlined<br />

a series of tougher steps that the U.S. could<br />

take against the Iranian leadership. <strong>The</strong><br />

draft was written by a young Pentagon aide<br />

named Michael Rubin (who is now affiliated<br />

with the <strong>American</strong> Enterprise Institute).<br />

Franklin did not hand over a copy<br />

of the draft, but he described its contents,<br />

and, according to the indictment, talked<br />

about the “state of internal United States<br />

government deliberations.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> indictment also alleges that<br />

Franklin gave the two men “highly classified”<br />

information about potential attacks<br />

on <strong>American</strong> forces in Iraq.<br />

In mid-August of 2002, according to<br />

the indictment, Franklin met with Gilon—<br />

identified simply as “FO,” or “foreign official”—at<br />

a restaurant, and Gilon explained<br />

to Franklin that he was the<br />

“policy” person at the Embassy. <strong>The</strong> two<br />

met regularly, the indictment alleges, often<br />

at the Pentagon Officers’ Athletic<br />

Club, to discuss “foreign policy issues,”<br />

particularly regarding a “Middle Eastern<br />

country”— Iran, by all accounts—and “its<br />

nuclear program.” <strong>The</strong> indictment suggests<br />

that Franklin was receiving information<br />

and policy advice from Gilon; after<br />

one meeting, Franklin drafted an “Action<br />

Memo” to his supervisors incorporating<br />

Gilon’s suggestions. Gilon is an expert on<br />

weapons proliferation, according to<br />

Danny Ayalon, the Israeli Ambassador,<br />

and has briefed reporters about Israel’s<br />

position on Iran. According to Lawrence<br />

Di Rita, a Pentagon spokesman, it is part<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

of the “job description” of Defense Department<br />

desk officers to meet with their<br />

foreign counterparts. “Desk officers meet<br />

with foreign officials all the time, not with<br />

ministers, but interactions with people at<br />

their level,” he said. <strong>The</strong> indictment contends,<br />

however, that on two occasions<br />

Franklin gave Gilon classified information.<br />

<strong>The</strong> issue of Israel’s activities in Washington<br />

is unusually sensitive. Twenty years<br />

ago, a civilian Naval Intelligence analyst<br />

named Jonathan Pollard was caught stealing<br />

<strong>American</strong> secrets on behalf of an Israeli<br />

intelligence cell—a “rogue” cell, the<br />

Israelis later claimed. Pollard said that he<br />

was driven to treason because, as a Jew,<br />

he could not abide what he saw as<br />

America’s unwillingness to share crucial<br />

intelligence with Israel. Pollard’s actions<br />

were an embarrassment for <strong>American</strong><br />

Jews, who fear the accusation of “dual<br />

loyalty”—the idea that they split their allegiance<br />

between the United States and<br />

Israel. For Israel, the case was a moral and<br />

political disaster. And there are some in<br />

the <strong>American</strong> intelligence community who<br />

suspect that Israel has never stopped spying<br />

on the United States.<br />

Earlier this month, Ayalon told me that<br />

Israel does not “collect any intelligence<br />

on the United States, period, full stop. We<br />

won’t do anything to risk this most important<br />

relationship.” In any case, he said,<br />

there was no need to spy, “because<br />

coöperation is so intimate and effective<br />

between Israel and the U.S.” Ayalon also<br />

said that Gilon, who is returning to Jerusalem<br />

later this summer, remains an important<br />

member of his staff; in recent months,<br />

Gilon has attended meetings at the State<br />

Department, the Pentagon, and the White<br />

House.<br />

In June of 2004, F.B.I. agents searched<br />

Franklin’s Pentagon office and his home<br />

in West Virginia, and allegedly found<br />

eighty-three classified documents. Some<br />

had to do with the Iran debate, but some<br />

pertained to Al Qaeda and Iraq. (A separate<br />

federal indictment, citing the documents,<br />

has been handed down in West Virginia.)<br />

According to a person with knowledge<br />

of Franklin’s case, the agents told<br />

Franklin that Rosen and Weissman were<br />

working against America’s interests.<br />

Franklin faced ruin—the documents found<br />

in his house could cost him his job, the<br />

agents said. Franklin, who did not have a<br />

lawyer, agreed to coöperate in the investigation<br />

of Rosen and Weissman, although<br />

apparently he was not given in return a<br />

specific promise of leniency. Soon, he was<br />

wired, and was asked to contact the two<br />

AIPAC employees. On July 21st, Franklin<br />

called Weissman and said that he had to<br />

speak to him immediately—that it was a<br />

matter of life and death. <strong>The</strong>y arranged to<br />

meet outside the Nordstrom’s department<br />

store at Pentagon City.<br />

A month before that meeting, <strong>The</strong> New<br />

Yorker had published an article by<br />

Seymour Hersh about the activities of Israeli<br />

intelligence agents in northern Iraq.<br />

Franklin, who held a top-secret security<br />

clearance, allegedly told Weissman that he<br />

had new, classified information indicating<br />

that Iranian agents were planning to kidnap<br />

and kill the Israelis referred to by<br />

Hersh. <strong>American</strong> intelligence knew about<br />

the threat, Franklin said, but Israel might<br />

not. He also said that the Iranians had infiltrated<br />

southern Iraq, and were planning<br />

attacks on <strong>American</strong> soldiers. Rosen and<br />

Weissman, Franklin hoped, could insure<br />

that senior Administration officials received<br />

this news. It is unclear whether<br />

what Franklin relayed was true or whether<br />

it had been manufactured by the F.B.I. <strong>The</strong><br />

Bureau has refused to comment on the<br />

c a s e .<br />

Weissman hurried back to AIPAC’S<br />

headquarters and briefed Rosen and<br />

Howard Kohr, AIPAC’S executive director.<br />

According to AIPAC sources, Rosen<br />

and Weissman asked Kohr to give the information<br />

to Elliott Abrams, the senior<br />

Middle East official on the National Security<br />

Council. Kohr didn’t get in touch<br />

with Abrams, but Rosen and Weissman<br />

made two calls. <strong>The</strong>y called Gilon and told<br />

him about the threat to Israeli agents in<br />

Iraq, and then they called Glenn Kessler,<br />

a diplomatic correspondent at the Washington<br />

Post, and told him about the threat<br />

to <strong>American</strong>s.<br />

A month later, on the morning of August<br />

27, 2004, F.B.I. agents visited Rosen<br />

at his home, in Silver Spring, Maryland,<br />

seeking to question him. Rosen quickly<br />

called AIPAC’S lawyers. That night, CBS<br />

News reported that an unnamed Israeli<br />

“mole” had been discovered in the Pentagon,<br />

and that the mole had been passing<br />

documents to two officials of AIPAC, who<br />

were passing the documents on to Israeli<br />

officials.<br />

Within days, the names of Franklin,<br />

Rosen, and Weissman were made public.<br />

<strong>The</strong> F.B.I. informed Franklin that he was<br />

going to be charged with illegal posses-<br />

sion of classified documents. Franklin was<br />

said by friends to be frightened, and surprised.<br />

He said that he could not afford to<br />

hire a lawyer. <strong>The</strong> F.B.I. arranged for a<br />

court-appointed attorney to represent him.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lawyer, a former federal prosecutor,<br />

advised him to plead guilty to espionage<br />

charges, and receive a prison sentence of<br />

six to eight years.<br />

At about this time, Franklin received<br />

a call from Michael Ledeen, his ally in<br />

matters of Iran policy. “I called him and<br />

said, `Larry, what’s going on’ “ Ledeen<br />

recalled. “He said, `Don’t worry.<br />

Sharansky’ “—Natan Sharansky, the<br />

former Soviet dissident—” `survived years<br />

in the Gulag, and I’ll survive prison, too.’<br />

I said, `What are you talking about’ He<br />

told me what was going on. I asked him if<br />

he had a good lawyer.” Ledeen called the<br />

criminal-defense attorney Plato Cacheris.<br />

“I knew him from when he served as<br />

Fawn’s attorney,” Ledeen said, referring<br />

to Fawn Hall, who was Colonel Oliver<br />

North’s secretary at the time of the Iran-<br />

Contra affair. Cacheris has also represented<br />

Monica Lewinsky and the F.B.I.<br />

agent Robert Hanssen, who spied for<br />

Moscow. Cacheris offered to represent<br />

Franklin pro bono, and Franklin accepted<br />

the offer.<br />

AIPAC launched a special appeal for<br />

donations—for the organization, not for<br />

Rosen and Weissman. “Your generosity at<br />

this time will help ensure that false allegations<br />

do not hamper our ability or yours<br />

to work for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship<br />

and a safe and secure Israel,”<br />

AIPAC’S leaders wrote in the letter accompanying<br />

the appeal.<br />

But in December four AIPAC officials,<br />

including Kohr, were subpoenaed to testify<br />

before a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia.<br />

In March, AIPAC’S principal lawyer,<br />

Nathan Lewin, met with the U.S. Attorney<br />

for the Eastern District of Virginia,<br />

Paul McNulty, who agreed to let Lewin<br />

see some of the evidence of the Pentagon<br />

City sting. According to an AIPAC source,<br />

an eleven-second portion of the telephone<br />

conversation between Rosen, Weissman,<br />

and the Post’s Glenn Kessler, which the<br />

F.B.I. had recorded, was played for Lewin.<br />

In that conversation, Rosen is alleged<br />

to have told Kessler about Iranian agents<br />

in southern Iraq—information that<br />

Weissman had received from Franklin. In<br />

the part of the conversation that Lewin<br />

heard, Rosen jokes about “not getting in<br />

trouble” over the information. He also<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

notes, “At least we have no Official Secrets<br />

Act”—the British law that makes<br />

journalists liable to prosecution if they<br />

publish classified material.<br />

Prosecutors argued to Lewin that this<br />

statement proved that Rosen and<br />

Weissman were aware that the information<br />

Franklin had given them was classified,<br />

and that Rosen must therefore<br />

have known that he was passing classified<br />

information to Gilon, a foreign official.<br />

Lewin, who declined to comment<br />

on the case, recommended that AIPAC<br />

fire Rosen and Weissman. He also told<br />

the board that McNulty had promised<br />

that AIPAC itself would not be a target<br />

of the espionage investigation. An<br />

AIPAC spokesman, Patrick Dorton, said<br />

of the firing, “Rosen and Weissman were<br />

dismissed because they engaged in conduct<br />

that was not part of their jobs, and<br />

because this conduct did not comport<br />

with the standards that AIPAC expects<br />

and requires of its employees.”<br />

When I asked Abbe Lowell, Rosen’s<br />

lawyer, about the firings, he said, “Steve<br />

Rosen’s dealings with Larry Franklin<br />

were akin to his dealings with executivebranch<br />

officials for more than two decades<br />

and were well known, encouraged,<br />

and appreciated by AIPAC.”<br />

Last month, I met with Lowell and<br />

Rosen in Lowell’s office, which these<br />

days is a center of Washington scandal<br />

management. (He also represents the<br />

fallen lobbyist Jack Abramoff.) Lowell<br />

had instructed Rosen not to discuss specifics<br />

of the case, but Rosen expressed<br />

disbelief that his career had been ended<br />

by an F.B.I. investigation. “I’m being<br />

looked at for things I’ve done for twentythree<br />

years, which other foreign-policy<br />

groups, hundreds of foreign-policy<br />

groups, are doing,” Rosen said, and went<br />

on, “Our job at AIPAC was to understand<br />

what the government is doing, in order<br />

to help form better policies, in the interests<br />

of the U.S. I’ve never done anything<br />

illegal or harmful to the U.S. I never even<br />

dreamed of doing anything harmful to<br />

the U.S.”<br />

Later, he said, “We did not knowingly<br />

receive classified information from<br />

Larry Franklin.” Lowell added, “When<br />

the facts are known, this will be a case<br />

not about Rosen and Weissman’s actions<br />

but about the government’s actions.”<br />

Lowell said that he would not rehearse<br />

his arguments against any charges until<br />

there is an indictment.<br />

Rosen said that he was particularly<br />

upset by the allegation that, because he<br />

had informed Gilon that Israeli lives might<br />

be in danger, he was a spy for Israel. “If I<br />

had been given information that British or<br />

Australian soldiers were going to be kidnapped<br />

or killed in Iraq, I think I would<br />

have done the same thing,” he said. “I’d<br />

have tried to warn them by calling friends<br />

at those embassies.” He wants to believe<br />

that he could return to AIPAC if he is exonerated,<br />

but this does not seem likely.<br />

AIPAC leaders are downplaying Rosen’s<br />

importance to the organization. “AIPAC<br />

is focussed primarily on legislative lobbying,”<br />

Dorton told me. Rosen’s severance<br />

pay will end in September, although<br />

AIPAC, in accordance with its bylaws,<br />

w i l l<br />

continue to pay legal fees for Rosen and<br />

Weissman.<br />

Rosen’s defenders are critical of<br />

AIPAC for its handling of the controversy.<br />

Martin Indyk, who is now the director of<br />

the Saban Center for Middle East Policy,<br />

a think tank within the Brookings Institution,<br />

thinks that AIPAC made a tactical<br />

mistake by cutting off the two men. “It<br />

appears they’ve abandoned their own on<br />

the battlefield,” he says. “Because they cut<br />

Steve off, they leave him no choice.” Indyk<br />

wouldn’t elaborate, but the implication<br />

was clear: Rosen and Weissman will defend<br />

themselves by arguing that they were<br />

working in concert with the highest officials<br />

of the organization, including Kohr.<br />

Until there is an indictment, the<br />

government’s full case against Rosen and<br />

Weissman cannot be known; no one in the<br />

Justice Department will comment. <strong>The</strong><br />

laws concerning the dissemination of government<br />

secrets are sometimes ambiguous<br />

and often unenforced, and prosecutors in<br />

such cases face complex choices. According<br />

to Lee Strickland, a former chief privacy<br />

officer of the C.I.A., prosecutors<br />

pressing espionage charges against Rosen<br />

and Weissman would have to prove that<br />

the information the two men gave to Gilon<br />

not merely was classified but rose to the<br />

level of “national-defense information,”<br />

meaning that it could cause dire harm to<br />

the United States. Yet a reporter who<br />

called the Embassy to discuss the same information<br />

in the course of preparing a<br />

story—thus violating the same statute—<br />

would almost certainly not be prosecuted.<br />

Strickland continued, “Twice in the<br />

Clinton Administration we had proposals<br />

to broaden the statutes to include the re-<br />

24 http://freeamerican.com<br />

April 2007


cipients, not just the leakers, of classified<br />

information. <strong>The</strong> New York Times and the<br />

Washington Post went bat-shit about this<br />

legislation. <strong>The</strong>y saw it as an attempt to<br />

shut down leaks.” If <strong>American</strong> law did<br />

punish those who receive, and then pass<br />

on, or publish, privileged information,<br />

much of the Washington press corps<br />

would be in jail, according to Lee Levine,<br />

a <strong>First</strong> Amendment lawyer. So would a<br />

great many government officials, elected<br />

and appointed, for whom classified information<br />

is the currency of conversation<br />

with reporters and lobbyists.<br />

Strickland, who said that he had spent<br />

much of his career at the C.I.A. “shutting<br />

down” leaks, called the AIPAC affair “uncharted<br />

territory.” It is uncommon, he said,<br />

for an espionage case to be built on the<br />

oral transmission of national-defense information.<br />

He also said, “Intent is always<br />

an element. If I were a defense attorney, I<br />

would argue that this was a form of entrapment.<br />

<strong>The</strong> F.B.I. agents deliberately set<br />

my client up, put him in a moral quandary.”<br />

He added, however, that although a jury<br />

might recognize the quandary, the law does<br />

not. “Just because you have information<br />

that would help a foreign country doesn’t<br />

make it your job to pass that information.”<br />

Even some of AIPAC’S most vigorous<br />

critics do not see the Rosen affair as a traditional<br />

espionage case. James Bamford,<br />

who is the author of well-received books<br />

about the National Security Agency, and<br />

an often vocal critic of Israel and the pro-<br />

Israel lobby, sees the case as a cautionary<br />

tale about one lobbying group’s disproportionate<br />

influence: “What Pollard did was<br />

espionage. This is a much different and<br />

more unique animal—this is the selling of<br />

ideology, trying to sell a viewpoint.” He<br />

continued, “Larry Franklin is not going to<br />

knock on George Bush’s door, but he can<br />

get AIPAC, which is a pressure group, and<br />

the Israeli government, which is an enormous<br />

pressure group, to try to get the<br />

<strong>American</strong> government to change its policy<br />

to a more aggressive policy.” Bamford,<br />

who believes that Weissman and Rosen<br />

may indeed be guilty of soliciting information<br />

and passing it to a foreign government,<br />

sees the case as a kind of brushback<br />

pitch, a way of limiting AIPAC’S long—<br />

and, in Bamford’s view, dangerous—<br />

reach.<br />

Other AIPAC critics see the lobby’s behavior<br />

as business as usual in Washington.<br />

EZRA POUND by Eustace Mullins<br />

Foreword<br />

In 1949, while I was visiting Ezra Pound<br />

who was a political prisoner at St. Elizabeth's<br />

Hospital, Washington, D.C. (a Federal institution<br />

for the insane), Dr. Pound asked<br />

me if I had ever heard of the Federal Reserve<br />

System. I replied that I had not, as of<br />

the age of 25. He then showed me a ten dollar<br />

bill marked "Federal Reserve Note" and<br />

asked me if I would do some research at the<br />

Library of Congress on the Federal Reserve<br />

System which had issued this bill. Pound<br />

was unable to go to the Library himself, as<br />

he was being held without trial as a political<br />

prisoner by the United States government.<br />

After he was denied broadcasting time<br />

in the U.S., Dr. Pound broadcast from Italy<br />

in an effort to persuade people of the United<br />

States not to enter World War II. Franklin<br />

D. Roosevelt had personally ordered Pound's<br />

indictment, spurred by the demands of his<br />

three personal assistants, Harry Dexter<br />

White, Lauchlin Currie, and Alger Hiss, all<br />

of whom were subsequently identified as<br />

being connected with Communist espionage.<br />

I had no interest in money or banking as<br />

a subject, because I was working on a novel.<br />

Pound offered to supplement my income by<br />

ten dollars a week for a few weeks. My initial<br />

research revealed evidence of an international<br />

banking group, which had secretly<br />

planned the writing of the Federal Reserve<br />

Act and Congress' enactment of the plan into<br />

law. <strong>The</strong>se findings confirmed what Pound<br />

had long suspected. He said, "You must<br />

work on it as a detective story."<br />

I was fortunate in having my research at<br />

the Library of Congress directed by a prominent<br />

scholar, George Stimpson, founder of<br />

the National Press Club, who was described<br />

by <strong>The</strong> New York Times of September 28,<br />

1952: "Beloved by Washington newspapermen<br />

as `our walking Library of Congress',<br />

Mr. Stimpson was a highly regarded reference<br />

source in the Capitol. Government officials,<br />

Congressmen and reporters went to<br />

him for information on any subject."<br />

I did research four hours each day at<br />

the Library of Congress, and went to St.<br />

Elizabeth's Hospital in the afternoon. Pound<br />

and I went over the previous day's notes. I<br />

then had dinner with George Stimpson at<br />

Scholl's Cafeteria while he went over my<br />

material, and I then went back to my room<br />

to type up the corrected notes. Both<br />

Stimpson and Pound made many suggestions<br />

in guiding me in a field in which I had<br />

no previous experience.<br />

When Pound's resources ran low, I applied<br />

to the Guggenheim Foundation, Huntington<br />

Hartford Foundation, and other foundations<br />

to complete my research on the Federal Reserve.<br />

Even though my foundation applications<br />

were sponsored by the three leading<br />

poets of America, Ezra Pound, E.E.<br />

Cummings, and Elizabeth Bishop, all of the<br />

foundations refused to sponsor this research.<br />

I then wrote up my findings to date, and in<br />

1950 began efforts to market this manuscript<br />

in New York.<br />

Eighteen publishers<br />

turned it down without comment, but<br />

the nineteenth, Devin Garrity, president of<br />

Devin Adair Publishing Company, gave me<br />

some friendly advice in his office.<br />

"I like your book, but we can't print it,"<br />

he told me. "Neither can anybody else in<br />

New York. Why don't you bring in a prospectus<br />

for your novel, and I think we can<br />

give you an advance. You may as well forget<br />

about getting the Federal Reserve book<br />

published. I doubt if it could ever be printed."<br />

This was devastating news, coming after<br />

two years of intensive work. I reported<br />

back to Pound, and we tried to find a publisher<br />

in other parts of the country.<br />

After two years of fruitless submissions, the<br />

book was published in a small edition in<br />

April 2007 505-423-3250<br />

25


1952 by two of Pound's disciples, John<br />

Kasper and David Horton, using their private<br />

funds, under the title Mullins on the<br />

Federal Reserve. In 1954, a second edition,<br />

with unauthorized alterations, was published<br />

in New Jersey, as <strong>The</strong> Federal Reserve Conspiracy.<br />

In 1955, Guido Roeder brought out<br />

a German edition in Oberammergau, Germany.<br />

<strong>The</strong> book was seized and the entire<br />

edition of 10,000 copies burned by government<br />

agents led by Dr. Otto John.<br />

<strong>The</strong> burning of the book was upheld<br />

April 21, 1961 by judge Israel Katz of the<br />

Bavarian Supreme Court.<br />

<strong>The</strong> U.S. Government refused to intervene,<br />

because U.S. High Commissioner to<br />

Germany, James B. Conant (president of<br />

Harvard University 1933 to 1953), had approved<br />

the initial book burning order.<br />

This is the only book, which has been<br />

burned in Germany since World War II. In<br />

1968 a pirated edition of this book appeared<br />

in California.<br />

Both the FBI and the U.S. Postal inspectors<br />

refused to act, despite numerous complaints<br />

from me during the next decade. In<br />

1980 a new German edition appeared. Because<br />

the U.S. Government apparently no<br />

longer dictated the internal affairs of Germany,<br />

the identical book, which had been<br />

burned in 1955 now circulates in Germany<br />

without interference.<br />

I had collaborated on several books with<br />

Mr. H.L. Hunt and he suggested that I should<br />

continue my long-delayed research on the<br />

Federal Reserve and bring out a more definitive<br />

version of this book.<br />

I had just signed a contract to write the<br />

authorized biography of Ezra Pound, and the<br />

Federal Reserve book had to be postponed.<br />

Mr. Hunt passed away before I could get<br />

back to my research, and once again I faced<br />

the problem of financing research for the<br />

book.<br />

My original book had traced and named<br />

the shadowy figures in the United States who<br />

planned the Federal Reserve Act.<br />

I now discovered that the men whom I<br />

exposed in 1952 as the shadowy figures behind<br />

the operation of the Federal Reserve<br />

System were themselves shadows, the<br />

<strong>American</strong> fronts for the unknown figures<br />

who became known as the "London Connection."<br />

I found that notwithstanding our<br />

successes in the Wars of Independence of<br />

1812 against England, we remained an economic<br />

and financial colony of Great Britain.<br />

For the first time, we located the original<br />

stockholders of the Federal Reserve<br />

Banks and traced their parent companies to<br />

the London Connection.<br />

This research is substantiated by citations<br />

and documentation from hundreds of newspapers,<br />

periodicals and books and charts<br />

showing blood, marriage, and business relationships.<br />

More than a thousand issues of<br />

<strong>The</strong> New York Times on microfilm have<br />

been checked not only for original information,<br />

but verification of statements from other<br />

sources.<br />

It is a truism of the writing profession<br />

that a writer has only one book within him.<br />

This seems applicable in my case, because I<br />

am now in the fifth decade of continuous<br />

writing on a single subject, the inside story<br />

of the Federal Reserve System. This book<br />

was from its inception commissioned and<br />

guided by Ezra Pound. Four of his protégés<br />

have previously been awarded the Nobel<br />

Prize for Literature, William Butler Yeats for<br />

his later poetry, James Joyce for "Ulysses",<br />

Ernest Hemingway for "<strong>The</strong> Sun Also<br />

Rises", and T.S. Elliot for "<strong>The</strong> Waste Land".<br />

Pound played a major role in the inspiration<br />

and in the editing of these works--<br />

which leads us to believe that this present<br />

work, also inspired by Pound, represents an<br />

ongoing literary tradition.<br />

Although this book in its inception was<br />

expected to be a tortuous work on economic<br />

and monetary techniques, it soon developed<br />

into a story of such universal and dramatic<br />

appeal that from the outset, Ezra Pound<br />

urged me to write it as a detective story, a<br />

genre, which was invented by my fellow<br />

Virginian, Edgar Allan Poe. I believe that<br />

the continuous circulation of this book during<br />

the past forty years has not only exonerated<br />

Ezra Pound for his much condemned<br />

political and monetary statements, but also<br />

that it has been, and will continue to be, the<br />

ultimate weapon against the powerful conspirators<br />

who compelled him to serve thirteen<br />

and a half years without trial, as a political<br />

prisoner held in an insane asylum a la<br />

KGB.<br />

His earliest vindication came when the<br />

government agents who represented the conspirators<br />

refused to allow him to testify in<br />

his own defense; the second vindication<br />

came in 1958 when these same agents<br />

dropped all charges against him, and he<br />

walked out of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, a free<br />

man once more.<br />

His third and final vindication is this<br />

work, which documents every aspect of his<br />

exposure of the ruthless international financiers<br />

to whom Ezra Pound became but one<br />

more victim, doomed to serve years as the<br />

Man in the Iron Mask, because he had dared<br />

to alert his fellow-<strong>American</strong>s to their furtive<br />

acts of treason against all people of the<br />

United States.<br />

In my lectures throughout this nation,<br />

and in my appearances on many radio and<br />

television programs, I have sounded the<br />

toxin that the Federal Reserve System is not<br />

Federal; it has no reserves; and it is not a<br />

system at all, but rather, a criminal syndicate.<br />

From November 1910, when the conspirators<br />

met on Jekyll Island, Georgia, to<br />

the present time, the machinations of the<br />

Federal Reserve bankers have been<br />

shrouded in secrecy. Today, that secrecy has<br />

cost the <strong>American</strong> people a three trillion<br />

dollar debt, with annual interest payments<br />

to these bankers amounting to some three<br />

hundred billion dollars per year, sums which<br />

stagger the imagination, and which in themselves<br />

are ultimately unpayable.<br />

Officials of the Federal Reserve System routinely<br />

issue remonstrances to the public,<br />

much as the Hindu fakir pipes an insistent<br />

tune to the dazed cobra, which sways its<br />

head before him, not to resolve the situation,<br />

but to prevent it from striking him. Such<br />

was the soothing letter written by Donald J.<br />

Winn, Assistant to the Board of Governors<br />

in response to an inquiry by a Congressman,<br />

the Honorable Norman D. Shumway, on<br />

March 10, 1983. Mr. Winn states<br />

that "<strong>The</strong> Federal Reserve System was established<br />

by an act of Congress in 1913 and<br />

is not a `private corporation'." On the next<br />

page, Mr. Winn continues, "<strong>The</strong> stock of the<br />

Federal Reserve Banks is held entirely by<br />

commercial banks that are members of the<br />

Federal Reserve System."<br />

He offers no explanation as to why the<br />

government has never owned a single share<br />

of stock in any Federal Reserve Bank, or<br />

why the Federal Reserve System is not a<br />

"private corporation" when all of its stock<br />

is owned by "private corporations".<br />

<strong>American</strong> history in the twentieth century<br />

has recorded the amazing achievements<br />

of the Federal Reserve bankers.<br />

<strong>First</strong>, the outbreak of World War I, which<br />

was made possible by the funds available<br />

from the new central bank of the United<br />

States.<br />

Second, the Agricultural Depression of<br />

1920.<br />

Third, the Black Friday Crash on Wall<br />

Street of October, 1929 and the ensuing<br />

Great Depression.<br />

Fourth, World War II. Fifth, the conversion<br />

of the assets of the United States and<br />

its citizens from real property to paper assets<br />

from 1945 to the present, transforming<br />

a victorious America and foremost world<br />

power in 1945 to the world's largest debtor<br />

nation in 1990.<br />

ins, devastated and destitute, in much the<br />

same dire straits in which Germany and Japan<br />

found themselves in 1945.<br />

Will <strong>American</strong>s act to rebuild our nation,<br />

as Germany and Japan have done when they<br />

faced the identical conditions which we now<br />

face--or will we continue to be enslaved by<br />

the Babylonian debt money system which<br />

was set up by the Federal Reserve Act in<br />

1913 to complete our total destruction<br />

This is the only question, which we have<br />

to answer, and we do not have much time<br />

left to answer it.<br />

Because of the depth and the importance<br />

of the information, which I had developed<br />

at the Library of Congress under the tutelage<br />

of Ezra Pound, this work became the<br />

happy hunting ground for many other wouldbe<br />

historians, who were unable to research<br />

this material for themselves.<br />

Over the past four decades, I have become<br />

accustomed to seeing this material appear<br />

in many other books, invariably attributed<br />

to other writers, with my name never<br />

mentioned.<br />

To add insult to injury, not only my material,<br />

but even my title has been appropriated,<br />

in a massive, if obtuse, work called "Secrets<br />

of the Temple--the Federal Reserve".<br />

This heavily advertised book received reviews<br />

ranging from incredulous to hilarious.<br />

Forbes Magazine advised its readers to read<br />

their review and save their money, pointing<br />

out that "a reader will discover no secrets"<br />

and that "This is one of those books whose<br />

fanfares far exceed their merit."<br />

This was not accidental, as this overblown<br />

whitewash of the Federal Reserve<br />

bankers was published by the most famous<br />

nonbook publisher in the world.<br />

After my initial shock at discovering that<br />

the most influential literary personality of<br />

the twentieth century, Ezra Pound, was imprisoned<br />

in "the Hellhole" in Washington, I<br />

immediately wrote for assistance to a Wall<br />

Street financier at whose estate I had frequently<br />

been a guest. I reminded him that as<br />

a patron of the arts, he could not afford to<br />

allow Pound to remain in such inhuman captivity.<br />

His reply shocked me even more. He<br />

wrote back that "your friend can well stay<br />

where he is." It was some years before I was<br />

able to understand that, for this investment<br />

banker and his colleagues, Ezra Pound<br />

would always be "the enemy".<br />

Ezra Pound was born in Hailey, Idaho,<br />

in 1885. He completed two years of<br />

college at the University of Pennsylvania<br />

and earned a degree from Hamilton<br />

College in 1905. After teaching at<br />

Wabash College for two years, he<br />

travelled abroad to Spain, Italy and<br />

London, where, as the literary executor<br />

of the scholar Ernest Fenellosa, he<br />

became interested in Japanese and<br />

Chinese poetry. He married Dorothy<br />

Shakespear in 1914 and became London<br />

editor of the Little Review in 1917. In<br />

1924, he moved to Italy; during this<br />

period of voluntary exile, Pound<br />

became involved in Fascist politics, and<br />

did not return to the United States until<br />

1945, when he was arrested on charges<br />

of treason for broadcasting Fascist<br />

propaganda by radio to the United<br />

States during the Second World War. In<br />

1946, he was acquitted, but declared<br />

mentally ill and committed to St.<br />

Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C.<br />

During his confinement, the jury of the<br />

Bollingen-Library of Congress Award<br />

(which included a number of the most<br />

eminent writers of the time) decided to<br />

overlook Pound's political career in the<br />

interest of recognizing his poetic<br />

achievements, and awarded him the<br />

prize for the Pisan Cantos (1948). After<br />

continuous appeals<br />

from writers won<br />

his release from<br />

the hospital in<br />

1958, Pound<br />

returned to Italy<br />

Ha' we lost the goodliest fere o' all<br />

For the priests and the gallows tree<br />

O' ships and the open sea.<br />

When they came wi' a host to take<br />

Our Man. His smile was good to see,<br />

"<strong>First</strong> let these go!" quo' our Goodly Fere,<br />

"Or I'll see ye damned," says he.<br />

Aye he sent us out through the crossed<br />

high spears. And the scorn of his laugh<br />

rang free, "Why took ye not me when I<br />

walked about Alone in the town" says he.<br />

Oh we drank his "Hale" in the good red<br />

wine. When we last made company,<br />

No capon priest was the Goodly Fere<br />

But a man o' men was he.<br />

I ha' seen him drive a hundred men<br />

Wi' a bundle o' cords swung free,<br />

That they took the high and holy house<br />

For their pawn and treasury.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y'll no' get him a' in a book I think<br />

Though they write it cunningly;<br />

No mouse of the scrolls was the Goodly<br />

If they think they ha' snared our Goodly<br />

Fere, they are fools to the last degree.<br />

"Though I go to the gallows tree."<br />

"Ye ha' seen me heal the lame and blind,<br />

And wake the dead," says he, "Ye shall<br />

That bade us his brothers be.<br />

I ha' seen him cow a thousand men.<br />

I have seen him upon the tree.<br />

He cried no cry when they drave the nails<br />

And the blood gushed hot and free,<br />

tongue. But never a cry cried he.<br />

I ha' seen him cow a thousand men<br />

Like the sea that brooks no voyaging<br />

With the winds unleashed and free,<br />

Like the sea that he cowed at Genseret<br />

IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY TAKEN THE “RED PILL”<br />

DO NOT READ THIS.....<br />

Dov Zakheim—A Key 9/11 Conspirator<br />

By Ryan Rumpole<br />

Global News Network<br />

Most people familiar with the 9/11<br />

cover-up have a fair idea of some of the<br />

key players in the monumental 9/11 crime.<br />

Rabbi Dov Zakheim, one of the central figures<br />

in this vile operation, isn’t as well<br />

known because he’s one who has always<br />

lurked in the shadows. Zakheim is as powerful<br />

as he is inconspicuous, and a man of<br />

many talents:<br />

1.. Graduate of the prestigious London<br />

School of Economics (PhD), and the University<br />

of Oxford (National Science Foundation<br />

Graduate Fellow)<br />

2.. Former CEO of Systems Planning Corporation,<br />

a highly specialized defense<br />

technology company that manufactures a<br />

one-of-a-kind remote-piloting system for<br />

aircraft, including commercial airliners<br />

(see below)<br />

3.. Senior Fellow for Asian Studies of the<br />

Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)<br />

4.. Member of the Task Force on Defense<br />

Reform (appointed by Secretary of Defense<br />

Cohen)<br />

5.. Senior Advisor at the Center for International<br />

and Strategic Studies<br />

6.. Former Under Secretary of Defense<br />

(appointed by George W. Bush)<br />

7.. Comptroller of the Pentagon {see [1]<br />

below for performance report}<br />

8.. Pioneer and prime architect of Project<br />

for the New <strong>American</strong> Century (PNAC),<br />

neo-con cabal that authored Rearming<br />

America’s Defenses (RAD), the bible for<br />

<strong>American</strong> global domination [2]<br />

9.. Author of “Flight Of <strong>The</strong> Lavi: Inside<br />

A US-Israeli Crisis” (Brassey’s, 1996)<br />

10.. Long-time Bush associate, having<br />

served as a policy advisor to the governor<br />

during the 2000 campaign<br />

11.. Columnist for <strong>The</strong> Jerusalem Post<br />

12.. Editorial Board member of Israel Affairs<br />

13.. Ordained Rabbi<br />

14.. Citizen of the State of Israel<br />

How a citizen of Israel can serve as<br />

Comptroller of America’s central defense<br />

establishment is a question I shall leave<br />

to others for comment. While they ponder<br />

this disturbing oddity, perhaps they could<br />

also shed light on why every one of the<br />

following kingpins of the Bush administration<br />

are also Israeli citizens: Paul<br />

Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith,<br />

Michael Chertoff, George Tenet, Elliot<br />

Abrams, Donald Kagan, Richard Haas,<br />

Kenneth Adelman, Edward Luttwak, Robert<br />

Satloff, David Frum, David Wurmser,<br />

Steve Goldsmith, and Marc Grossman.]<br />

[1] “I know Dr. Zakheim has been trying<br />

to hire CPAs because the financial systems<br />

of the department are so snarled up<br />

that we can’t account for some $2.6 TRIL-<br />

LION in transactions that exist...” Secretary<br />

of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, during<br />

testimony before the House Appropriations<br />

Committee: Fiscal Year 2002 Defense<br />

Budget Request, as given by Secy.<br />

Rumsfeld, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs<br />

of Staff General Hugh Shelton, and Comptroller<br />

Dov Zakheim; on Monday, July 16,<br />

2001.<br />

NB: Dr. Zakheim resigned as Pentagon<br />

Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer<br />

at the beginning of March when it<br />

was revealed that the he is unable to account<br />

for the disappearance of $2.6 trillion<br />

(it’s unlikely this will receive much<br />

coverage in the mainstream media).<br />

Zakheim has since taken a lucrative position<br />

as a vice president of the megaconsultancy<br />

Booz, Allen, & Hamilton (one<br />

that also works closely with DARPA).<br />

Rabbi Zakheim is also Chief Executive<br />

Officer of SPC International Corporation<br />

(a subsidiary of the aforementioned<br />

remote-flight-control-technology firm), a<br />

company that specializes in “political,<br />

military, and economic consulting, and international<br />

sales and analysis”.<br />

In addition, Dr. Zakheim serves as<br />

Consultant to the Secretary of Defense and<br />

the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy.<br />

As the Rabbi’s record clearly shows,<br />

he has serious tenure in the US defense<br />

establishment: more than 30 years of holding<br />

assorted senior positions at the Pentagon.]<br />

[2] Dov Zakheim is the co-author of<br />

that singularly sinister—and chillingly<br />

ominous—statement contained in Rearming<br />

America’s Defenses (RAD) re the plan<br />

for <strong>American</strong> global domination [through<br />

galvanizing <strong>American</strong> emotional support<br />

for full-scale war against oil-rich Arab<br />

states]: “...the process of transformation,<br />

even if it brings revolutionary change, is<br />

likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic<br />

and catalyzing event—like a new<br />

Pearl Harbor”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> PNAC document also expressly<br />

recommends the US should seize Iraq<br />

even if Saddam Hussein were deposed<br />

through a military coup. [So much for<br />

bringing “freedom and democracy” to the<br />

people of that country.]<br />

<strong>The</strong> good Rabbi’s involvement with<br />

PNAC, his previous directorship of a corporation<br />

that manufactures remote control<br />

flight systems, and his inability to document<br />

how the Pentagon has spent TRIL-<br />

LIONS of <strong>American</strong> taxpayers’ dollars<br />

suggests that real investigations into the<br />

crimes of 9/11 and the US invasion of Afghanistan<br />

and Iraq would put Mr. Zakheim<br />

near the top of the witness list for interrogation<br />

and potential prosecution.<br />

SYSTEMS PLANNING CORPORATION<br />

Dr. Dov Zakheim was the former CEO<br />

of Systems Planning Corporation, a company<br />

that designs and manufactures extremely<br />

sophisticated control/guidance<br />

technology that enables an external operator<br />

to fly, and land, aircraft by remote control.<br />

One of the company’s principal prod-<br />

ucts is the Command Transmitter System<br />

(CTS), a fully redundant, self-contained,<br />

solid-state platform capable of providing<br />

totally programmable remote flight control<br />

capability, including high-precision<br />

electronic navigation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> company’s parallel product, the<br />

Flight Termination System (FTS), enables<br />

system-equipped aircraft to be safely<br />

landed on any suitable runway in the<br />

world—regardless of the availability of<br />

ground-based navigational or landing aids<br />

(VOR, ILS, MLS, etc.).<br />

Such total independence in all flight<br />

regimes is achieved through a variety of<br />

ultra-sophisticated space-based technologies,<br />

including Mil-spec DGPS (Differential<br />

GPS, using extremely precise encrypted<br />

military “P” Code transmissions),<br />

and is accurate to within one foot of the<br />

runway centerline during landing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> CTS/FTS remote-control system<br />

is capable of controlling up to 8 airborne<br />

vehicles—including airliners—simultaneously<br />

from ground-based or airborne<br />

(AWACS) positions.<br />

[“Coincidence”: Operation Vigilant<br />

Guardian, one of five NORAD “war game<br />

exercises” underway on the morning of<br />

9/11 and orchestrated by Dick Cheney, involved<br />

the simulated hijacking of commercial<br />

airliners.<br />

At one point during the exercises,<br />

while the four “real” hijacked aircraft were<br />

airborne, as many as TWENTY-TWO<br />

independent radar blips representing “hijacked”<br />

aircraft were simultaneously displayed<br />

on FAA radar screens along the<br />

Eastern seaboard.<br />

This, obviously, created total pandemonium.<br />

Air traffic controllers who had<br />

been advised beforehand by NORAD of<br />

the “simulated hijackings”, began frantically<br />

calling NORAD to determine which<br />

of the twenty-two targets were “real” and<br />

which were “exercise.” All indications are<br />

that whatever it was that happened to the<br />

four real “hijacked” airliners occurred during<br />

this purposefully orchestrated melee<br />

while the order was given for the US Air<br />

Force to “stand down”.]<br />

<strong>The</strong> CTS/FTS system (subsequently<br />

improved, tested and implemented by<br />

Raytheon) allows specialist ground controllers<br />

to listen-in on cockpit conversations<br />

on the target aircraft, then take absolute<br />

control of its computerized flight<br />

control system by remote means and safely<br />

land the aircraft at any airport within<br />

range.<br />

In other words, this technology was designed<br />

to empower “law enforcement<br />

agencies” to hijack hijackers.<br />

[NB: <strong>The</strong> ground station technology<br />

for CTS/FTS was developed by Raytheon<br />

under an Air Force contract for the Joint<br />

Precision Approach and Landings System<br />

(JPALS) program. A government-industry<br />

team accomplished the first precision approach/auto-land<br />

by a civil aircraft using<br />

this system on August 25, 2001 at<br />

Holloman AFB, NM. A FedEx Express<br />

727-200 aircraft demonstrated hundred<br />

percent system proficiency by executing<br />

six full auto-lands using the JPALS ground<br />

station.]<br />

“HOME RUN”<br />

In partnership with Raytheon, System<br />

Planning Corporation also supplies CTS/<br />

FTS technology to commercial airplane<br />

manufacturers for installation in airliners<br />

(Boeing: confirmed; Airbus: undetermined,<br />

but highly probable given the<br />

consortium’s connection to BAE, a US<br />

military contractor.)<br />

It has been reported that DARPA’s<br />

codename for the CTS/FTS system was<br />

“Home Run”. Former German Secretary<br />

of Defense Andreas Von Buelow may have<br />

alluded to foreknowledge of Home Run<br />

technology in an interview he gave the<br />

German daily “Tagesspiegel” on January<br />

13th, 2002:<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is also the theory of one British<br />

flight engineer: according to this, the<br />

steering of the planes was perhaps taken<br />

out of the pilots’ hands, from outside. <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>American</strong>s had developed a method in the<br />

1970s, whereby they could rescue hijacked<br />

planes by intervening into the computer<br />

piloting [automatic pilot system].<br />

This theory says this technique was abused<br />

in this case [9/11]...”<br />

Upon deeper scrutiny this may not appear<br />

quite so much a “theory” as might<br />

first seem. It’s been reported that the German<br />

national carrier Lufthansa, seriously<br />

concerned that one of its own aircraft<br />

might be “rescued” by the <strong>American</strong>s without<br />

its authority, had every one of its Home<br />

Run-equipped Boeing aircraft stripped of<br />

the <strong>American</strong> flight control computers. It’s<br />

reasonable to presume that Herr Von<br />

Buelow—the Secretary of Defense and<br />

Minister of Science and Technology at the<br />

time—would have known all about this<br />

mammoth but secretive task (how very<br />

clever—and discreet—of Von Buelow to<br />

“drop” the information into the middle of<br />

an interview about the 9/11 attacks).<br />

Lufthansa aircraft (and possibly others)<br />

are now effectively impervious to Home<br />

Run take-overs, but that is more than can<br />

be said for the <strong>American</strong> aircraft fleet.<br />

In order to make Home Run truly effective,<br />

it had to be completely integrated<br />

with all onboard systems, and this could<br />

only be accomplished with a new aircraft<br />

design, several of which were on the drawing<br />

boards at that time. Under cover of extreme<br />

secrecy, the multinationals and<br />

DARPA went ahead on this basis and built<br />

“back doors” into the new computerized<br />

flight control systems.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were two very obvious hard requirements<br />

at this stage: 1) a primary control<br />

channel for use in taking over the<br />

flight control system and flying the aircraft<br />

back to an airfield of choice, and 2)<br />

a covert audio channel for monitoring<br />

flight deck conversations. Once the primary<br />

channel was activated, all aircraft<br />

functions came under direct ground (or<br />

AWACS) control, permanently removing<br />

the hijackers and pilots from the control<br />

loop.<br />

It needs mention that this was not a<br />

system designed to “undermine” the authority<br />

of the flight crews, but rather,<br />

implemented as a “doomsday” device in<br />

the event the hijackers began to shoot passengers<br />

or crew members, possibly including<br />

the pilots. Based on the reasonable<br />

assumption that hijackers only carry a limited<br />

number of rounds of ammunition, and<br />

many modern airliners carry in excess of<br />

300 passengers, Home Run was envisaged<br />

as a system that could be used to fly all<br />

the survivors to a friendly airport for a safe<br />

landing.<br />

System Activation<br />

Activating the primary Home Run<br />

channel is reportedly fairly straightforward.<br />

A transponder, as many readers<br />

know, is a combined radio transmitter and<br />

receiver which operates automatically—<br />

in the case of 9/11, relaying data between<br />

the four aircraft and air traffic controllers<br />

on the ground. <strong>The</strong> transmitted signals represent<br />

a unique “identity” for each aircraft,<br />

essential in crowded airspace to avoid<br />

midair collisions—and equally essential<br />

for Home Run controllers trying to lock<br />

onto the correct aircraft.<br />

Once the correct target aircraft is located<br />

by radar, the Home Run duplex data<br />

bus “piggy backs” the transponder channel<br />

and assumes direct control from the<br />

ground. This could explain why NONE<br />

of the four aircraft sent the special “I have<br />

been hijacked” transponder code (7500),<br />

despite multiple activation points for this<br />

distress transmission on all four aircraft—<br />

and despite being flown by combat-hardened<br />

ex-fighter pilots.<br />

Because the transponder frequency<br />

had already been piggy-backed by Home<br />

Run, transmission of the special hijack<br />

code was rendered impossible. This was<br />

the first hard proof that the target aircraft<br />

had been hijacked electronically from the<br />

ground, rather than by Arab patsies toting<br />

box-cutters.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Home Run listening device on the<br />

flight deck utilizes the cockpit microphones<br />

that normally feed the Cockpit<br />

Voice Recorder (CVR), one of two black<br />

boxes armored to withstand heavy impact<br />

and thereby later provide investigators significant<br />

clues to why the aircraft crashed.<br />

However, once plugged into Home Run,<br />

the CVRs are bypassed, and voice transmissions<br />

are no longer recorded on the 30<br />

minute continuous-loop recording tape.<br />

If Home Run is active for more than<br />

thirty minutes, there will therefore be no<br />

audible data on the Cockpit Voice Recorders.<br />

Crash investigators are said to have<br />

recovered the CVRs from the Pentagon<br />

and Pittsburg aircraft, and publicly confirmed<br />

that both are completely blank. <strong>The</strong><br />

only possible reason for this is data capture<br />

by Home Run, providing the final<br />

hard proof that the attack aircraft were<br />

hijacked electronically from the ground,<br />

rather than by “Arab terrorists”.<br />

Discussion<br />

It is not being suggested that remote<br />

circumvention and take-over of the four<br />

airliners’ controls is definitely what happened<br />

on 9/11. But if this scenario seems<br />

improbable, one must necessarily consider<br />

the probability of four airliners being taken<br />

over simultaneously, casually flown<br />

around a large swath of the country for<br />

almost two hours under the vigilant eye<br />

of NORAD, and then used as missiles—<br />

all without a single fighter being<br />

scrambled to intercept any of them.<br />

Since this is what actually happened,<br />

we have no choice but to consider other<br />

“implausible” scenarios. And since the<br />

official scenario is itself an unsubstantiated—and<br />

truly farfetched—”conspiracy<br />

theory,” other competing scenarios should<br />

also receive serious attention.<br />

<strong>The</strong> public’s reluctance to question<br />

official doctrine on this matter is a symptom<br />

of the societal role for which most of<br />

us have been bred and trained: to be everfaithful<br />

hounds, tails thumping the floor<br />

as we contentedly slurp the hand of class<br />

authority. Such credulity also becomes<br />

inevitable when the alternative is so unbearable:<br />

if someone in Bush’s position<br />

is capable of lying to us about something<br />

as huge, as gut-wrenchingly horrible as 9/<br />

11, then everything we believe about this<br />

country—about the nature of civilization<br />

itself—might just be childish nonsense.<br />

Most people simply don’t have the guts<br />

<strong>Free</strong> <strong>American</strong> Newsma<br />

wsmagazine<br />

azine<br />

to go there. Given a desperate enough need<br />

to sustain the childish belief in government-as-benevolent-father,<br />

a person will<br />

adapt that belief to any circumstance. <strong>The</strong><br />

behavioral end result can resemble courage;<br />

indeed, we are taught to regard it as<br />

the DEFINITION of courage. Actually,<br />

it’s one of cowardice’s darkest moments.<br />

Even a casual examination of Nazi Germany,<br />

where this phenomenon was rampant,<br />

will drive this point home.<br />

It’s almost funny, the way people<br />

readily see the threat of technological circumvention<br />

presented by Diebold’s electronic<br />

voting machines, yet when the subject<br />

switches to Systems Planning<br />

Corporation’s Flight Termination System,<br />

which is every bit as real, and to the exactly<br />

parallel possibilities it represents visa-vis<br />

9/11, they suddenly retreat into profound<br />

and combative denial. It’s as if a<br />

threshold has been crossed into a realm<br />

of possibilities too vile to entertain, so they<br />

simply don’t. Never mind that this<br />

country’s operatives have been traveling<br />

the world, perpetrating similar horrors, for<br />

all of the past century.<br />

Rather than acknowledge the possibility<br />

of a unifying pattern, Joe Sixpack<br />

would much rather ‘shoot the messenger.’<br />

Every so often,<br />

such people establish<br />

a new highwater<br />

mark for<br />

cowardice and<br />

facultative stupidity,<br />

and the present<br />

is definitely one of<br />

those times. After<br />

all, the official 9/<br />

11 scenario they<br />

cling to with such<br />

desperate faith<br />

comes from only<br />

one source: the<br />

Western “intelligence<br />

community”—the<br />

most<br />

brazen, systematic,<br />

resourceful,<br />

and interlocked<br />

association of habitual<br />

liars this<br />

world has ever<br />

seen.<br />

As should<br />

have been made<br />

clear by any number<br />

of intelligence<br />

scandals over the<br />

years, the credibility<br />

of this bunch<br />

goes past zero into the negative: pending<br />

airtight proof, anything they say should be<br />

reflexively deemed a lie. You may remember<br />

that the FBI also provided the identities<br />

of “the 19 hijackers” within hours—<br />

information that soon also became quite<br />

suspect, especially considering there was<br />

NOT ONE Arab name on any of the flight<br />

manifests (miraculously, they even found<br />

paper passports that had survived fireballs,<br />

Arabic flight manuals conveniently left in<br />

the trunks of cars, etc., etc.)<br />

At least seven of the hijackers are still<br />

alive in the Middle East—a pretty good<br />

alibi, wouldn’t you say Several of these<br />

ex-suspects had their passports or other<br />

IDs stolen from them over the years, and<br />

it’s entirely possible that all 19 hijackers<br />

had stolen identities, meaning they could<br />

have come from anywhere—or been absent<br />

altogether. Our media were pretty<br />

slack about acknowledging this at the time,<br />

and since then have dropped this ball entirely.<br />

What’s really amazing is that not<br />

one mainstream journalist has asked how<br />

these 19 alleged hijackers boarded their<br />

aircraft when their names were not on any<br />

of the passenger manifests.<br />

pretend to be Judahites, but are not, pretend to be Semites, but<br />

are not! TGI demonstrates that the rabbis of Judaism are the<br />

most sophisticated liars and charlatans of history. Be prepared<br />

to have your “Judeo-Christian” world view destroyed, for TGI<br />

reveals who the real Anti-Christ is and the awful nature of the<br />

Great Apostasy of Christendom!<br />

COMMAND TRANSMITTER<br />

SYSTEM (CTS)<br />

<strong>The</strong> CTS at the Sea Range provides<br />

safe, controlled testing of unmanned targets,<br />

platforms and missiles, including<br />

ballistic missiles and other long-range vehicles.<br />

<strong>The</strong> CTS is a tunable UHF FM transmitter<br />

designed for ground use in controlling<br />

guided missiles, pilotless aircraft and<br />

pilotless boats. It delivers a nominal 750<br />

watts of RF power to the antenna (rated at<br />

1 kW with a minimum of 500 watts). <strong>The</strong><br />

RF signal is frequency modulated by selected<br />

tones (IRIG 20 tone format) that<br />

correspond to particular control functions<br />

of the missile, aircraft or boat. Four of<br />

these systems are located at Laguna Peak<br />

and three are located on SNI. <strong>The</strong> fourth<br />

system at SNI is expected to be operational<br />

in fiscal year 1997.<br />

Control of target vehicles allows a<br />

specific test or threat geometry to be produced<br />

for weapons systems tests or Fleet<br />

training. <strong>The</strong> CTS may be controlled at the<br />

site or remotely from the OCRs at Point<br />

Mugu. This allows an operator to control<br />

a pilotless aircraft or drone throughout the<br />

Sea Range or control boats and ship targets<br />

within about 40 miles of the active<br />

transmitter site. Area of coverage is shown<br />

in Figure 7-5. <strong>The</strong> CTS is used for control<br />

of airborne targets such as VANDAL,<br />

AQM-37C and aerial tows, and seaborne<br />

targets such as the SEPTAR and Mobile<br />

Ship Target (MST). <strong>The</strong> BQM-74E is<br />

sometimes flown using the CTS when<br />

shortages of DKW-3 equipment occur.<br />

In addition to the fixed site capability,<br />

the Test Wing’s NP-3D aircraft can be<br />

configured to provide airborne CTS functions<br />

as an over-the-horizon repeater or<br />

“stand-alone” transmitter.” .<br />

Agents of Influence<br />

01/20/07 “<strong>The</strong> Nation” — — Did Ariel<br />

Sharon, the Prime Minister of Israel, run<br />

a covert program with operatives in highlevel<br />

US government positions to influence<br />

the Bush Administration’s decision<br />

to go to war in Iraq <strong>The</strong> FBI wants to<br />

know.<br />

That’s the story behind the latest Washington<br />

spy scandal, involving Israel, the<br />

<strong>American</strong> Israel Public Affairs Committee<br />

(AIPAC) and a mid-level civilian Pentagon<br />

employee allegedly caught redhanded<br />

trying to deliver US secrets to the<br />

Israelis.<br />

It’s not a routine spy case. According<br />

to sources familiar with the investigation,<br />

the FBI is looking at a group of<br />

neoconservatives who have occupied senior<br />

posts at the White House, the Pentagon<br />

and in Vice President Cheney’s office.<br />

It’s not that they are supporters of<br />

Israel—no crime there—but that some of<br />

them might be conspirators in a clandestine<br />

operation launched by Sharon’s Likud<br />

Party. <strong>The</strong>y make up the very network of<br />

ideologues—from civilians at the Defense<br />

Department to fellow travelers at rightwing<br />

think tanks—who have been accused<br />

of pushing George W. Bush into war. <strong>The</strong><br />

point of the probe, sources believe, is not<br />

to examine the push to war but rather to<br />

ascertain whether Sharon recruited or<br />

helped place in office people who knowingly,<br />

and secretly, worked with him to affect<br />

the direction of US policy in the<br />

Middle East. <strong>The</strong> most likely targets of the<br />

inquiry are Douglas Feith, Under Secretary<br />

of Defense for Policy, and Harold<br />

Rhode of the Pentagon’s Office of Net<br />

Assessment.<br />

It’s an explosive inquiry and one that<br />

raises the most sensitive hackles, since it<br />

involves the possibility that US officials<br />

(most, but not all, Jews) are working on<br />

Sharon’s behalf. <strong>The</strong>y include Feith and a<br />

handful of other officials, including those<br />

in the inner circle of his policy office who<br />

formed the core of the Office of Special<br />

Plans (OSP). <strong>The</strong> probe faces stiff political<br />

resistance. Yet it may have legs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> investigation burst into the news<br />

in late August when CBS News reported<br />

that the FBI had caught a Feith staffer,<br />

later identified as Larry Franklin, trying<br />

to deliver what turned out to be a classified<br />

draft of a presidential memo on Iran<br />

to AIPAC and an Israeli Embassy diplomat.<br />

Subsequent attention focused largely<br />

on whether Franklin was a spy for Israel,<br />

but in fact he is only a minor figure in a<br />

far more sweeping probe that began two<br />

years ago.<br />

What triggered the original investigation<br />

isn’t known, but it is known that it<br />

began at a critical moment, as Feith and<br />

Rhode began assembling a team, which<br />

included Franklin, to form the OSP. It’s<br />

been widely reported that the OSP manufactured<br />

exaggerated intelligence reports<br />

on the threat from Iraq, but less reported<br />

is the fact that the OSP also carried out<br />

unauthorized operations. Several OSP officials—including<br />

Rhode, Franklin and<br />

Michael Maloof, one of the two original<br />

staffers of the forerunner to OSP, joined<br />

by Michael Ledeen of the <strong>American</strong> Enterprise<br />

Institute (AEI)—took part in a<br />

rogue Pentagon initiative, beginning in<br />

2001 with unsavory wheeler-dealers in<br />

Rome and Paris, to discuss regime change<br />

beyond Iraq, in Iran and Syria. <strong>The</strong> CIA<br />

found out about the Rome meeting, and<br />

the agency may have asked the FBI to start<br />

watching Feith, Rhode, Ledeen, Franklin<br />

et al. Former CIA and Defense intelligence<br />

officials familiar with the case stress that<br />

the FBI is looking at an operation run by<br />

the Israeli prime minister, not by the<br />

Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, and<br />

that the investigation is based solely on<br />

concerns about foreign influence. “It’s<br />

about Sharon,” says a former senior CIA<br />

operations officer. “This has nothing to do<br />

with anti-Semitism.”<br />

Some familiar with the case suggest<br />

that the FBI’s investigation is looking back<br />

as far as 1996, when Feith, Richard Perle,<br />

Feith’s boss at the Pentagon in the 1980s<br />

and until recently chairman of the<br />

Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board, and<br />

David Wurmser, a co-founder of OSP who<br />

is now Cheney’s Middle East adviser,<br />

wrote a radical memo, called “A Clean<br />

Break,” to incoming Israeli Prime Minister<br />

Benjamin Netanyahu calling for confrontation<br />

with Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and<br />

the PLO.<br />

Since the investigation came to light,<br />

Sharon’s closest allies have led an effort<br />

to derail it. Screaming the loudest is Marc<br />

Zell, Feith’s former law partner, who is<br />

now an attorney in Israel tied to the<br />

Likud’s right wing and to the settler movement.<br />

“It’s a cheap shot by certain people<br />

inside the government to embarrass Doug<br />

and the Pentagon leadership,” Zell told the<br />

Philadelphia Inquirer. “Certain elements<br />

inside the military and intelligence communities<br />

are unhappy with the policy decisions<br />

of people in the upper echelon and<br />

attempt, sometimes in a very crude way,<br />

to embarrass them.” News of the investigation<br />

stunned AIPAC, the Jewish Institute<br />

for National Security Affairs, AEI and<br />

others in Likud’s Washington circuit. And,<br />

of course, AIPAC’s friends in Congress<br />

are hopping mad. Ha’aretz, the Israeli<br />

daily, said that news of the inquiry landed<br />

like the “diplomatic equivalent of an<br />

unexploded cluster bomb.”<br />

Perle is demanding that the White<br />

House clamp down on the investigators,<br />

according to the Boston Globe. “It’s pretty<br />

nasty, and unfortunately the Administration<br />

doesn’t seem to have it under control,”<br />

the Globe quotes Perle as saying. But<br />

according to the Financial Times, the<br />

White House is quietly doing just that: <strong>The</strong><br />

London daily reports that the White House<br />

is pressuring the FBI and the Justice Department<br />

not to issue indictments in the<br />

case.<br />

Other voices are also being heard.<br />

Democratic Representative John Conyers<br />

wrote to the chairman of the House Judiciary<br />

Committee demanding an investigation<br />

into “substantial and credible evidence<br />

that Pentagon officials...have engaged<br />

in unauthorized covert activities.”<br />

Conyers specifically cited Feith. And the<br />

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence<br />

is now deep into phase two of its own<br />

probe, which includes examining the work<br />

of the OSP; its report is expected after the<br />

November election.<br />

<strong>The</strong> FBI has an ace in the hole that may<br />

allow it to resist White House pressure.<br />

“By now,” says a retired intelligence official,<br />

“the FBI has gathered up so much<br />

material in grand jury records and things<br />

like that that they are in a position to push<br />

back against pressure from the Administration<br />

to back away from this. When they<br />

get pressure, they leak to somebody. And<br />

the potential of disclosure is a real threat<br />

to the Administration.” In addition, the<br />

counterintelligence probe could spin off<br />

investigations in several possibly related<br />

scandals, including the Ahmad Chalabi<br />

case and the Valerie Plame leak, not to<br />

mention the Franklin matter.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y have no case,” says AEI’s<br />

Michael Ledeen. We’ll see.<br />
