[412] Final Judgment 509
"After making a solid initial contact, Eisenberg would leave the
coordination of hidden deals and shipments to the Mossad, which acted in
its traditional role as Israel's secret alternative foreign ministry. " 1036
Eisenberg, who ran 20 companies doing business in more than 30
countries 1037 was clearly a figure of central and critical importance to the
survival of Israel and its positioning in the world arena.
The Washington Times described Eisenberg's ensconcement in Israel after
his years abroad: "Moving to Israel, Mr. Eisenberg became the most
powerful tycoon in its history. The 'Eisenberg Law' was passed in the
1970's to free him of the country's massive tax burden so he would
continue to operate from there . . . He controlled the giant Israel
Corporation holding company and held a 49 percent share in the national
shipping company, Zim, one of the largest shipping and transportation
companies in the world. He also dominated Israel Chemicals." 1038
Eisenberg's major role in Israel's chemical industry is interesting, of
course, inasmuch as we noted in Appendix Four, that in 1957, in partnership
with the Rosenbaum and Eisenberg-controlled Swiss-Israel Trade Bank,
Michigan industrialist Max Fisher—the political kingmaker behind Warren
Commission member Gerald Ford—bought a controlling interest in the
Israeli conglomerate that dominated the petrochemical industry in Israel. So
Eisenberg himself had a direct link with one of the so-called "mystery men
behind Gerald Ford" who told Ford "what to do and when to do it."
EISENBERG'S FRENCH CONNECTION
In reference to the Zim shipping company, it will be recalled, as we noted
in Chapter 9, that it was Zim, jointly owned by Eisenberg and the Israeli
government, that hired French General Maurice Challe, one of the leading
conspirators in the Permindex-backed OAS, after Challe was released
from prison for his involvement in plots against Charles DeGaulle.
So clearly, Eisenberg was most definitely a "man in the middle" in
many ways in relation to key players and events that have been linked to the
intimate circles of conspiracy that led to the JFK assassination.
However, despite all of Eisenberg's vast wealth, according to the
Washington Times, "What made [Eisenberg] most interesting were his links
to the Israeli secret service, the Mossad. Israeli intelligence sources say he
shared information with the Mossad for decades and employed many
former senior intelligence and army officers." 1039
The "official" story is that Eisenberg's dealings with China (at least in the
realm of arms transfers) began only in 1979. Uri Dan, writing in the New
York Post, reports that at that time, then-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem
Begin got U.S. approval for authorizing Eisenberg to undertake a $10 billion
10-year deal to modernize the Chinese armed forces thereby "strengthening
the counterbalance to Soviet military might." 1040 Dan describes this deal
as "one of the most important in Israeli history" 1041 and
