THE PHONEY SLICHOT OF THE YESHA COUNCIL
by Barry Chamish

Nothing is sacred to the Yesha Council, not even Yom Kippur. On this holiest of days, Jews offer their slichot, begging for forgiveness, to those they have harmed. So since the Yesha Council harmed the whole country, it sent 50,000 copies of its own slichot to every remaining home in Judea, Samaria
and...that's it. No Gaza.
Written by Yesha Council head Benzi Lieberman on behalf of all Council members, the "apology" is a masterpiece of nothing. Let's look at some of the gems within:

It was a difficult year, very difficult. We never invested so much energy, sweat, prayers and tears into one public battle. We never felt so betrayed and abandoned by the Israeli government.

So far, so good, right?

We tried everything, fought on all fronts, and though filled with righteousness, on Tisha B'Av, disaster befell us. In his eyes, G-d did what was best for us.

Okay, it was G-d's fault.

We present an important accounting of our activities, to clear the air. The expulsion could not have happened without the hushup by the country's elites, the cooperation of the police and the lack of criticism by the media. Despite these impossible obstacles, we managed to succeed on a number of fronts. For example, we forced the Likud to hold a party referendum. But we admit failures. Many who demonstrated at Kfar Maimon came home worn out and disappointed.

So far, we seem to be getting a sincere accounting. But this is mere trickery. Look what comes next:

We roundly criticize the followers of the far right, who blocked roads and spread oil and nails on them.

So many lies in one sentence. The road-blockers were NOT organized by the far right. This was a grassroots rebellion of mostly mainstream concerned youth. And not a one of them was EVER arrested for spreading oil and nails on the roads. The public consensus, and the correct conclusion, is these acts were the products of the sick minds of the Jewish Department of the Shabak.

It was proven in polls, beyond dispute, that road-blocking damaged our battle and our goals.

In actuality, it was proven beyond dispute that the Yesha Council's condemnation of civil disobedience destroyed everybody's battles and goals.

We did not support the movement to convince soldiers to disobey orders to expel Jews. However, we didn't actively oppose such persuasion so long as it didn't endanger soldiers' lives, such as the spreading of oil and nails on the roads.

Now what has the oil and nails business got to do with refusals to obey immoral military orders?
Why is the council returning to a blatant government provocation to argue their innocence in another, unrelated matter? Could it be that this "accounting" was actually dictated by the government?

The only specific order we issued was not to cut the security fence around Gaza in order to enter Gush Katif, and then, only after receiving a dispensation from Rabbi Avraham Shapira.

So the Council prevented the masses from entering Gush Katif and thus, most likely saving the place, because it was guided by the rabbi most revered for his devotion to the Gush Katif cause. I want to hear that from the rabbi himself! In other words...it was his fault that we didn't push our allies into the real battle front. Some apology.
Now that the Council has begged forgiveness for nothing, what will be its next steps to prevent further expulsions?

Today, the left is clutching its hands, waiting for us to announce our disengagement from the state. But we are going to continue to fight for peace, to serve in the military and continue to build for the blossoming of our salvation. We will energetically and lovingly participate in all the goals of the nation - settlement, army, education and developing cities.

That'll show them for uprooting out homes and making refugees of our people. We'll teach them for destroying our lives. We're just going to do whatever they tell us, and make them try and stop us!
This Yom Kippur, let the Jews be certain of one thing: Our G-d will never forgive the Yesha Council for its sins and this cynical deception. Never!

SLICHOT FOR RABIN

Last month, Natan Gefen submitted an appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court to re-open the Rabin murder inquiry based on new medical documents he had uncovered. In a letter to Makor Rishon, he expressed huge disappointment that the political "hero" of Gush Katif, Arie Eldad refused to support his petition to try and bring down the government that was wrecking the place. Well, here is what Gefen obviously didn't know. Eldad is a big fan of Dr. Yehuda Hiss, the state pathologist who covered up the medical truth of Rabin's murder:

http://www.bambili.com/bambili_news_en/katava_main.asp?news_id=1188&sivug_id=5
This week MK Dr. Aryeh Eldad (National Union),
formerly chief medical officer of the IDF,
wrote that "the cult of the dead, parts of the
dead and pieces of tissue is common here, and
the bereaved families sometimes become the high
priests of this cult. Anyone who does not know
or does not want to know what happens to a body
in the grave would do best not to make his
ignorance known. From dust man comes and to
dust he shall return, and along the way there
are decay, worms and disintegration. Hundreds
of burn victims and wounded people in Israel,"
he added, "owe their lives to skin tissues
taken at the institute and to the training of
doctors to learn
life-saving procedures. They owe their lives to
Prof. Hiss.

I warned you, that if something isn't done, the tenth anniversary of Rabin's murder will turn into an awful celebration by the enemies of Israel. Now look what the Rabin Center is planning to commemorate the 10th anniversary. Leaving the terrible spelling intact, note who will be eulogizing Rabin: all of those responsible for the dismemberment of the country. Only one Jew will be participating, the CFR's James Wolfensohn, personally responsible for selling Gusk Katif to the PLO:

ABU MAZEN AND ABU ALA WILL BE AMONG THE DIGNITORIES WHO WILL ADDRESS THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AT THE NETANYA ACADEMIC COLLEGE MARKING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ASSASSINATION

OF YITZHAK RABIN

The Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Mr. Abu Mazen and Prime Minister Abu Ala are expected to

address the International Conference which will be held at the Strategic Dialogue Center,

Netanya Academic College to mark the 10th anniversary of the assassination of the late Yitzhak Rabin.

The International Conference will be held at the Netanya Academic College on November 15-16, 2005 in

cooperation with the Yitzhak Rabin Center.

The Chairman of the Strategic Dialogue Center, Netanya Academic College, M.K. Gen. (res.) Danny Yatom

personally invited Abu Mazen and Abu Ala to attend the conference. Both accepted the invitation and

would be pleased to address the conference.

The address by Abu Mazen to the Netanya conference marking the 10th anniversary of the Rabin assassination will be the first ever by a Chairman of the Palestinian Authority to an Israeli forum.

Among the other dignitaries attending the International Conference in Netanya are the following:

The Prime Minister of Jordan during the signing of the Peace Treaty with Jordan, Dr. Abdul Salam Al-Majali;

President of of Andalusia, Manuel Chevas; Miguel Moratinos, Spanish Foreign minister;

Javier Solana, European Union High Representative for the Common Foreign & Security Policy; former President of

Indonesia, Abdurrahman Wahid; Senior Adviser to the President of Egypt, Dr. Osama El Baz;

James Wolfenson, Special representative of the ‘Quartet’ of International mediators and former President of the World Bank. The United States and Great Britain has announced that a very senior representative

will participate in the conference at the Netanya College. France is expected to send a senior representative.

Other dignitaries are waiting for confirmation of their participation.

The International Conference at the Netanya Academic College to mark the 10th anniversary of the

assassination of the late Yitzhak Rabin is under the theme “Peace – Dream or Vision”.

Among the topics to be discussed at the conference are topics connected with Yitzhak Rabin including:

“Rabin and Egypt”; “Rabin and King Hussein”, “Rabin and the Palestinian problem”;

Rabin – Syria and Lebanon” and “Rabin and the US”. There will also be a discussion of regional water problems.

A special commemorative pin has been designed to mark the International Conference being held in

November in Netanya and it will be given to all the participants. The pin was designed by

Architect Claude Grundman-Brightman using 16 types of basalt stone that make up the Yitzhak Rabin

memorial in the Rabin Square in Tel Aviv – the memorial itself was also designed by the same architect.

The theme of the conference – Peace – Dream or Vision – is embossed on the pin.

Linda Rivkind – Foreign Press Liaision – 052-2636588

There is one last way to get out of this awful mess. This year is the tenth anniversary of the Rabin assassination and the eyes of the nation will soon be on his memory. If we can make the nation understand that the same forces who brought the disaster of last year upon the nation murdered Rabin, we might be able to stop them. If the truth comes out, Peres, the Shabak and the "peacemakers" will fall like kingpins. Sharon will face the consequences of covering up the crime. We can rid ourselves of the crooks.
I have asked the leaders of the country's last remaining opposition to gather their people and show up at Rabin's two memorial services on Nov. 5 in Tel Aviv and Nov. 14 at Rabin's grave in Jerusalem.
This coming year is our last chance to make the truth emerge.
In order to make the idea work, a strong publicity campaign is needed immediately. But no one will contribute a dime. The Jews will give to the Gush Katif refugees and support their hopeless misery wallowing, they will contribute to yeshivas and ambulances, but no one will spend a dime to save the country with an idea that can actually work.
So the few of us who do care will do our best with the little we have. Yaacov Verker, Chairman of The Committee To Reinvestigate The Rabin Assassination, will provide a meeting place for anyone interested in participating. Call him at 050 5205591. Or contact me personally.

Why do I think that this idea too will fail? Let us take the example of Gush Katif:

Friday afternoon: Just when it appeared that the problem was solved, the
Disengagement Authority apparently did not reach an agreement with the
hotel after all, as a result of which, according to Israel Radio on the PM
news, it has cut off electricity, and will not be providing food for the
residents of Gush Katif on Shabbat. At the time of this writing, close to
Shabbat, an in-house Bdoloch spokesperson could not be reached. Aaron
Farjun, who moved from the hotel to a caravan in Nitzan a few days ago,
said, "Now everyone will see who the Disengagement Authority is. This
country is governed by criminals." Only a hotel secretary was available to
talk, and she said, "They've closed the hotel because they didn't extend the contract. I don't know what the
people will do." It is half an hour before Shabbat.

Just as I warned. The government is now slowly torturing the Gush Katif refugees. I told you all, they have to fight back now and I proposed a practical way of doing it. I warned you that the very worst approach was to support the refugees through charity. It will tide them over during the time when they should be waging a war for justice. And in 6 or 8 months when the charity runs out, where will they be?
But I was called heartless and ignored.
I won't be asking forgiveness of anyone this Yom Kippur. Let others ask it of me.

Rabin's Memorial -
The Tenth Anniversary
Rabin Memorial Postponed So Clinton Can Attend
By Barry Chamish
10-26-5

By Associated Press Published
October 6, 2005

A gathering marking the 10th anniversary of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin will be postponed a week to allow former U.S. President Bill Clinton to attend, organizers said Thursday.

At Clinton's request, the event, originally set for Nov. 5, will take place on Nov. 12, a day after Clinton arrives in Israel, said Moshe Debby, spokesman for the Rabin study center in Tel Aviv.

Rabin was gunned down after a peace rally in Tel Aviv on Nov. 4, 1995. Clinton is expected to address a memorial at the site of the assassination after speaking at the a conference kickoff dinner sponsored by the Saban Center for Middle East Policy, both on Nov. 12.

http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Briefs/6774.htm

Rabin's memorial rally was delayed to accommodate Clinton. That pretty well sums up how badly Rabin's memory has been corrupted. But on the bright side, it gives us more time to prepare to be there with the truth.

Rabin can save this nation from its enemies if anyone cares to have it saved anymore. The world media will be out in force to cover the tenth anniversary. And if we have any sense, we'll be joining them with signs reading:

Who Really Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?
Reinvestigate Now!
Arrest Peres

And so on...

Even if the Rabin issue isn't your priority, you've got Clinton on the podium. Yes, Mr. CFR Bill Clinton, the monster who gave us the Oslo accords, is coming to town. And everybody injured by his diplomacy should be on hand to give him a welcome he'll never forget.

Of course, the former residents of Gush Katif should unite in force to let Clinton know how much he means to them and how much they appreciate what his "peace" has brought them. But they'll be too busy sulking and taking charity to make the effort. And of course, all those protest leaders who have succeeded at nothing will keep their minions at home. Why show up for a demonstration that may actually change the course of Israel's downfall?

That leaves us to do the job by ourselves. I will not recommend any group to help out. Last week, one group advertised that I would be sponsoring a meeting with a Shabak-connected lawyer. That's an example of what happens when I trust people too much.

On the other hand, I've received numerous letters and calls from trusted readers promising to join me at the two Rabin services, on Nov. 12 in Tel Aviv and Nov. 14 at Rabin's grave on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.

And that's how it will be for me. On Saturday night, Nov. 12, 8 PM, I'd be honored if we met at Rabin Square, at the corner where the Rabin murder was staged. Come bearing signs. For the religious, there are only two hours between the end of Shabbat and the meeting, so plan accordingly. Please write me if you'd like to help me and the nation out.

Other readers are taking matters into their own hands. Three such committed correspondents want to pitch in for other events. On October 27, New York will be holding its official Rabin memorial service:

Now, back to Israel. On Nov. 15-16, look who is coming to Netanya to commemorate Rabin. Just look at the list of "people" who have the nerve to set foot on our land. There is Javier Solana, who worked with Peres and Beilin, to sell our heritage for Europe's bounty. There is the CFR's James Wolfensohn, who sold Gush Katif to the World Bank out of his own pocket. And how can we ever properly welcome Abu Mazen and Abu Alla to our humble domicile?

Read the Israel Government's announcement. I'm keeping their childish spelling mistakes intact for effect:

A wonderful lady from Netanya called me to volunteer to make this conference an event for the ages. If you want to join her in ruining the party, write her at: [email protected]

The volunteers have asked what they can hand out at such short notice. Under separate cover I've sent you a picture that says it all. You will see an ambulance beside Rabin's limousine, the ambulance Rabin wasn't put in. At the front of the vehicle you will see Shimon Peres coordinating the next move with Rabin's driver, Menachem Damti.

As for a flyer, print lots of the following:

WE ACCUSE THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT OF LYING ABOUT THE RABIN ASSASSINATION

* We charge Rabin's bodyguard Yoram Rubin with perjury in his testimonies to the Shamgar Commission and at Yigal Amir's trial. He testified that Amir's bullet entered and penetrated his arm at the elbow, exiting at the shoulder.

* We charge the pathologist Dr. Yehuda Hiss with medical malpractice and evidence tampering. While all other doctors including Gutman, Sneh and Barabash reported that Rabin's spine was shattered causing death, Hiss removed the wound from Rabin's autopsy.

* We charge Avishai Raviv with perjury at his recent trial. Raviv testified that Amir never informed him of his murderous intent.

* We charge Shimon Peres with gross misconduct and dereliction of public service. As prime minister, Peres approved the Shamgar Commission's conclusions that Rabin was shot twice in the back.

* We charge former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Meir Shamgar with gross judicial misconduct for changing the time of Rabin's murder from 9:30 PM to 9:50.

* We charge Eitan Haber of evidence destruction based on his own testimony to the Shamgar Commission that he absconded with Rabin's possessions at Ichilov Hospital, while later admitting to Kol Ha'ir that on the same night he cleaned out Rabin's filing cabinets at the Prime Minister's office.

* We charge Rabin's driver, Menachem Damti with perjury for testifying to the Shamgar Commission and at Amir's trial, that he drove to Ichilov Hospital in less than two minutes. The ride actually took 22 minutes.

* We charge Yoram Rubin with perjury for testifying to the Shamgar Commission that Rabin was shot at 9:50. Yigal Amir was arrested at 9:30.

* We charge Rubin, Damti and Shamgar with conspiracy to alter evidence, by coordinating a new, later time of murder.

* We charge Rubin and Damti of being accessories to the murder of Yitzhak Rabin by deliberately denying him medical treatment. Note the ambulance beside Rabin's limousine. Why wasn't Rabin offered the services of trained medical professional waiting ten feet away from him.

* We charge Yoram Rubin with perjury for testifying to the Shamgar Commission and Amir's judges that Rabin helped him get up after he was shot and then jumped head-first into the limousine. No such thing happened.

* We charge Menachem Damti with perjury for testifying to the Shamgar Commission that he was opening the door for Leah Rabin when he heard the first shot, and that he reacted by immediately jumping into the driver's seat, as he was trained to do. Leah Rabin was standing on the steps nowhere near her husband when Amir shot the blanks and Damti stayed outside after the shot.

* We charge the chief judge at Yigal Amir's trial, Edmund Levy, with gross judicial misconduct for dismissing the testimony of police forensics expert, Inspector Baruch Gladstein, who proved scientifically that Rabin was shot at 0 range, about half a meter closer than Amir ever got to Rabin. We charge that Levy acted with full knowledge and intent in this dismissal of evidence. All previous evidence including Inspector Gladstein's testimony is found at www.barrychamish.com, as is the defence summation of attorney Jonathan Goldberg. Within the latter is more than enough proof that Judge Levy deliberately ignored and dismissed relevant evidence throughout the trial.

Please, someone, translate the relevant passages of this message into Hebrew and spread the invitation to the memorial services far and wide.

As a reminder of the kind of ghastly felon who will be eulogizing Rabin and soiling our land, I leave you with the following.

The Clinton Legacy

The Progressive Review
Our Clinton Scandal Index

RECORDS SET

* The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance

* Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*

* Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation

* Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify

* Most number of witnesses to die suddenly

* First president sued for sexual harassment.

* First president accused of rape.

* First first lady to come under criminal investigation

* Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case

* First president to establish a legal defense fund.

* First president to be held in contempt of court

* Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions

* Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad

* According to our best information, 40 government officials were indicted or convicted in the wake of Watergate. A reader computes that there was a total of 31 Reagan era convictions, including 14 because of Iran-Contra and 16 in the Department of Housing & Urban Development scandal. 47 individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine were convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes with 33 of these occurring during the Clinton administration itself. There were in addition 61 indictments or misdemeanor charges. 14 persons were imprisoned. A key difference between the Clinton story and earlier ones was the number of criminals with whom he was associated before entering the White House.

Using a far looser standard that included resignations, David R. Simon and D. Stanley Eitzen in Elite Deviance, say that 138 appointees of the Reagan administration either resigned under an ethical cloud or were criminally indicted. Curiously Haynes Johnson uses the same figure but with a different standard in "Sleep-Walking Through History: America in the Reagan Years: "By the end of his term, 138 administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations. In terms of number of officials involved, the record of his administration was the worst ever."

STARR-RAY INVESTIGATION

* Number of Starr-Ray investigation convictions or guilty pleas to date (including one governor, one associate attorney general and two Clinton business partners): 14

* Number of Clinton Cabinet members who came under criminal investigation: 5

* Number of Reagan cabinet members who came under criminal investigation: 4

* Number of top officials jailed in the Teapot Dome Scandal: 3

CRIME STATS

* Number of individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 47

* Number of these convictions during Clinton's presidency: 33

* Number of indictments/misdemeanor charges: 61

* Number of congressional witnesses who have pleaded the Fifth Amendment, fled the country to avoid testifying, or (in the case of foreign witnesses) refused to be interviewed: 122

SMALTZ INVESTIGATION

* Guilty pleas and convictions obtained by Donald Smaltz in cases involving charges of bribery and fraud against former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy and associated individuals and businesses: 15

* Acquitted or overturned cases (including Espy): 6

* Fines and penalties assessed: $11.5 million

* Amount Tyson Food paid in fines and court costs: $6 million

THE CLINTON LEGACY - LONELY HONOR

Here are some of the all too rare public officials, reporters, and others who spoke truth to the dismally corrupt power of Bill and Hill Clinton's political machine -- some at risk to their careers, others at risk to their lives. A few points to note:

* Those corporatist media reporters who attempted to report the story often found themselves muzzled; some even lost their jobs. The only major dailies that consistently handled the story well were the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Times.

* Nobody on this list has gotten rich and many you may not have even heard of. Taking on the Clintons typically has not been a happy or rewarding experience. At least ten reporters have been fired, transferred off their beats, resigned, or otherwise gotten into trouble because of their work on the scandals. Whistleblowing is even less appreciated within the government. One study of whistleblowers found that 232 out of 233 them reported suffering retaliation; another study found reprisals in about 95% of cases.

* Contrary to the popular impression, the politics of those listed ranges from the left to the right, and from the ideological to the independent.

* We have not included victims of the Clinton machine, some of whom have acted with considerable danger and at considerable risk to themselves. They will be included on a later list.

PUBLIC OFFICIALS

MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ - A prosecutor on the staff of Kenneth Starr. His attempts to uncover the truth in the Vincent Foster death case were repeatedly foiled and he was the subject of planted stories undermining his credibility and implying that he was unstable. Rodriguez eventually resigned.

JEAN DUFFEY - Head of a joint federal-county drug task force in Arkansas. Her first instructions from her boss: "Jean, you are not to use the drug task force to investigate any public official." Duffey's work, however, led deep into the heart of the Dixie Mafia, including members of the Clinton machine and the investigation of the so-called "train deaths." Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reports that when she produced a star witness who could testify to Clinton's involvement with cocaine, the local prosecuting attorney, Dan Harmon issued a subpoena for all the task force records, including "the incriminating files on his own activities. If Duffey had complied it would have exposed 30 witnesses and her confidential informants to violent retributions. She refused." Harmon issued a warrant for her arrest and friendly cops told her that there was a $50,000 price on her head. She eventually fled to Texas. The once-untouchable Harmon was later convicted of racketeering, extortion and drug dealing.

BILL DUNCAN - An IRS investigator in Arkansas who drafted some 30 federal indictments of Arkansas figures on money laundering and other charges. Clinton biographer Roger Morris quotes a source who reviewed the evidence: "Those indictments were a real slam dunk if there ever was one." The cases were suppressed, many in the name of "national security." Duncan was never called to testify. Other IRS agents and state police disavowed Duncan and turned on him. Said one source, "Somebody outside ordered it shut down and the walls went up."

RUSSELL WELCH - An Arkansas state police detective working with Duncan. Welch developed a 35-volume, 3,000 page archive on drug and money laundering operations at Mena. His investigation was so compromised that a high state police official even let one of the targets of the probe look through the file. At one point, Welch was sprayed in the face with poison, later identified by the Center for Disease Control as anthrax. He would write in his diary, "I feel like I live in Russia, waiting for the secret police to pounce down. A government has gotten out of control. Men find themselves in positions of power and suddenly crimes become legal." Welch is no longer with the state police.

DAN SMALTZ - Smaltz did an outstanding job investigating and prosecuting charges involving illegal payoffs to Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy, yet was treated with disparaging and highly inaccurate reporting by the likes of the David Broder and the NY Times. Espy was acquitted under a law that made it necessary to not only prove that he accepted gratuities but that he did something specific in return. On the other hand, Tyson Foods copped a plea in the same case, paying $6 million in fines and serving four years' probation. The charge: that Tyson had illegally offered Espy $12,000 in airplane rides, football tickets and other payoffs. In the Espy investigation, Smaltz obtained 15 convictions and collected over $11 million in fines and civil penalties. Offenses for which convictions were obtained included false statements, concealing money from prohibited sources, illegal gratuities, illegal contributions, falsifying records, interstate transportation of stolen property, money laundering, and illegal receipt of USDA subsidies. Incidentally, Janet Reno blocked Smaltz from pursuing leads aimed at allegations of major drug trafficking in Arkansas and payoffs to the then governor of the state, WJ Clinton. Espy had become Ag secretary only after being flown to Arkansas to get the approval of chicken king Don Tyson.

DAVID SCHIPPERS - House impeachment counsel and a Chicago Democrat. He did a highly creditable job but since he didn't fit the right-wing conspiracy theory, the Clintonista media downplayed his work. Thus most Americans don't know that he told NewsMax, "Let me tell you, if we had a chance to put on a case, I would have put live witnesses before the committee. But the House leadership, and I'm not talking about Henry Hyde, they just killed us as far as time was concerned. I begged them to let me take it into this year. Then I screamed for witnesses before the Senate. But there was nothing anybody could do to get those Senators to show any courage. They told us essentially, you're not going to get 67 votes so why are you wasting our time." Schippers also said that while a number of representatives looked at additional evidence kept under seal in a nearby House building, not a single senator did.

JOHN CLARKE - When Patrick Knowlton stopped to relieve himself in Ft. Marcy Park 70 minutes before the discovery of Vince Foster's body, he saw things that got him into deep trouble. His interview statements were falsified and prior to testifying he claims he was overtly harassed by more than a score of men in a classic witness intimidation technique. In some cases there were witnesses. John Clarke has been his dogged lawyer in the witness intimidation case that has been largely ignored by the media, even when the three-judge panel overseeing the Starr investigation permitted Knowlton to append a 20 page addendum to the Starr Report.
OTHER

THE ARKANSAS COMMITTEE - What would later be known as the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy actually began on the left - as a group of progressive students at the University of Arkansas formed the Arkansas Committee to look into Mena, drugs, money laundering, and Arkansas politics. This committee was the source of some of the important early Clinton stories.

CLINTON ADMINISTRATION SCANDALS E-LIST - Moderated by Ray Heizer, this list has been subject to all the idiosyncrasies of Internet bulletin boards, but it has nonetheless proved invaluable to researchers and journalists.
JOURNALISTS

JERRY SEPER of the Washington Times was far and away the best beat reporter of the story, handling it week after week in the best tradition of investigative journalism. If other reporters had followed Seper's lead, the history of the Clintons machine might have been quite different.

AMBROSE EVANS-PRITCHARD of the London Telegraph did a remarkable job of digging into some of the seamiest tales from Arkansas and the Clinton past. Other early arrivals on the scene were Alexander Cockburn and Jeff Gerth.

CHRISTOPHER RUDDY, among other fine reports on the Clinton scandals, did the best job laying out the facts in the Vince Foster death case.

ROGER MORRIS AND SALLY DENTON wrote a major expose of events at Mena, but at the last moment the Washington Post's brass ordered the story killed. It was published by Penthouse and later included in Morris' "Partners in Power," the best biography of the Clintons.

OTHERS who helped get parts of the story out included reporters Philip Weiss, Carl Limbacher, Wes Phelan, David Bresnahan, William Sammon, Liza Myers, Mara Leveritt, Matt Drudge, Jim Ridgeway, Nat Hentoff, Michael Isikoff, Christopher Hitchens, and Michael Kelly. Also independent investigator Hugh Sprunt and former White House FBI agent Gary Aldrich.

Sam Smith of the Progressive Review wrote the first book (Shadows of Hope, University of Indiana Press, 1994) deconstructing the Clinton myth and the Review developed a major database on the topic.

The Clintons, to adapt a line from Dr. Johnson, were not only corrupt, they were the cause of corruption in others. Seldom in America have so many come to excuse so much mendacity and malfeasance as during the Clinton years. These rare exceptions cited above, and others unmentioned, deserve our deep thanks.

We Win

One week before Nov. 4, the tenth anniversary of the Rabin murder, the country's largest circulation newspaper, Yediot Achronot publishes a poll:

Do you believe in the conspiracy theory about Rabin's murder?

Yes 25%
Not sure 9%

It was the lowest result of five polls taken in the past four years but it shocked the nation. As Yediot wrote; "Unbelievable, but one in four Israelis believe Rabin was shot by the Shabak." In fact, the figure was more. Yediot's poll included 20% Arab respondents, who are utterly unaware of the issue. Factor them in with the not sures and over 40% of the nation's Jews no longer believe the government.

Sunday, five days before Nov. 4, Yigal Amir's prosecutor Pnina Guy admits the second shot to Rabin was from point blank range, a fact I exposed almost a decade before. Still, it is redemption for me. Since Amir never shot point blank, he announced that he wanted a new trial:
Yigal Amir, who never denied assassinating Prime
Minister Yitzchak Rabin, is now strongly considering
requesting a new trial - now that the case prosecutor
has raised some major questions herself.
Atty. Penina Guy, the prosecutor in Amir's trial in
early 1996, said Sunday morning that some aspects of
the murder are still not clear to her: "It's still a
mystery to me how he managed to shoot three bullets
and at the same time even approach Rabin, and,
according to the ballistic evidence, actually touch
Rabin's jacket for the third bullet."

However, Amir himself was surprised by the end of
Prosecutor Guy's statement. According to his wife,
Larissa Trimbobler, Yigal was surprised to hear that
the murderer came as near as Rabin's jacket. "Yigal
has always said that this is not true," she told
Arutz-7 today. "He did not approach Rabin; rather,
Rabin got further and further away from him. Yigal
also says that he certainly never touched Rabin or his
jacket."

http://rotter.net/news/newsdata.php?prm=http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/639822.html

However, it was not a day before Amir's webmaster and handler Mike Guzovsky changed this stance to one of ugly incitement. Now, according to Amir's Shabak-run website, anyone who was in favor of disengagement, also deserved to be slaughtered.The Amir issue was ended, but not before Shimon Peres used it for maximum advantage:

Yigal Amirís mother said: ëThose who were in favor of the
disengagement should be hung in the streets. What rubbish! Who is she?
And who are the hilltop youth? And rabbis give orders to the army? Who
appointed them? On this issue, we must be the most blunt, determined,
united and serious as we can be. There will be no concessions here and no
looking the other way. This is vital not only for the IDF but for the
existence of the state.

My webmaster David Rutstein no longer consults with me. He added two provocative images of Peres to the site, one behind bars, the other with his hands dripping in blood. I wasn't in favor but he promised results, and they did come in. Major media from Channel 10 -TV to both Maariv and Yediot's websites condemned the images and the state attorney general presented them to the Knesset cabinet to decide whether to prosecute or not:

http://www.nfc.co.il/archive/003-D-12436-00.html?tag=22-25-11

Tuesday, Nov 1, I became legitimate. I was invited to appear on a highly respected and staid tv program, Law And Judgement. This is a prime time show on the government's second channel. The situation is three prominent attorneys interviewing guests with relevant legal issues to share. The guest before me was the new state attorney general.

He was interviewed alone and I assumed I was to be. But no. Fifteen minutes before the start of the program I was informed I would be sharing the show with prosecutor Pnina Guy and former head of the Mossad Danny Yatom.

It was now five against one. I had been set up.

But, as numerous viewers told me after, I won.

Guy had backtracked from her doubts of two days before as she was obviously scripted to do. Yatom was all prepared to smear every rabbi, religious Jew and anyone from the Right.

But I brought evidence and had it filmed before I began my shpiel. I was not given a lot of time, and under great pressure I showed Israel the ambulance beside Rabin's car, the watch showing how Shamgar lied about the murder time, the infamous songsheet. I defended myself with the facts and my co-guests did not even try to answer them.

After sitting quietly for nearly ten minutes while Yatom spewed ugly venom against the supposed inciters of the Rabin murder, I became brazen. I told the host,"Do you know he just slandered half the country and you let him?"

After the show, neither Yatom nor Guy would accept my book as a present. But I knew a little about Yatom, so here I am telling the former head of the Mossad, "Are you aware that the London Observor wrote that Netanyahu gave you the Mossad job in return for silence about Rabin?" Yatom turned red and replied, "I already had the job from him."

That night, somebody decided I was serious enough to sit on the same panel as the country's most famous prosecutor and the former head of the Mossad. Even odder, they agreed to sit with me.

And the next night was just as significant. I was invited as a guest on Channel Ten's prime time talk show, London And Kirschenbaum. The guest before me was Ami Ayalon, former head of the Shabak. My, what company I was suddenly keeping.

Yaron London is the nation's most influential literary critic and Moti Kirschenbaum was chairman of the Israel Broadcasting Authority at the time of Rabin's murder. In my book, I lambast him for authorizing two staged reports about Yigal Amir and Avishai Raviv's phoney organization, Eyal.

And he was hopping mad about that. He had his say and I didn't think I'd get mine. But I reminded him that other guests were permitted to speak freely and I was off and running. I presented an overview of Israel television's role in creating Eyal and Amir and he agreed that mistakes were made. Most important of all, he admitted the reports on Eyal were staged.

London interrupted and told me, "I'm really mad at you."

I smirked broadly and answered, "Why aren't I surprised?"

He continued, "Why wasn't I in your book for something?"

I replied, "Send a director to stage tv reports for the government and next time you will be."

London, the preferred literary critic of the country, then lifted my Rabin book to the camera and recommended it as an alternative to his way of thinking.

I won.

And I kept winning. The major web sites suddenly wrote very positive things about my work and most of the reactions were highly positive.

9:30, Thursday, November 3, the conspiracy finally goes public for good. Channel two broadcast a one hour documentary proving Rabin was shot a third time and from the front. This is only my core claim for the past nine years. Rabin's clothing had been sitting untouched in the prime minister's archive for the past decade. The filmmakers retrieved them and found a frontal bullet hole in the shirt and undershirt. It wasn't where I said they'd be but now my central claims that Rabin had been shot point blank was verified by Pnina Guy, and from the front, by Channel Two. I couldn't watch the show properly so many people called to congratulate me. One complaint: the film used so much of my discoveries ie. the change in the time of the murder, Prof. Hiss reporting the hole in the front of Rabin's shirt, Health Minister Sneh reporting three bullets etc. and gave me no credit.

But it didn't matter. The viewers knew I had won, we had won.

The film was followed by an hour panel discussion where Hiss' lies finally caught up with him and Sneh tried to obfuscate his statement on the night of the murder by attacking the right wing inciters. This time, everyone agreed he sounded hollow.

Most important of all, the Left, for once showed integrity. Ronen Bergman of Haaretz eloquently demanded a reinvestigation of the Rabin murder, "to dispel once and for all the conspiracy theories threatening our democracy." Of course if that third bullet hole is for real, Amir didn't cause it, so he'll get his conspiracy whether he likes it or not. And the next day, Tom Segev of Haaretz demanded that every point of the conspiracy theories be re-examined.

Haaretz became our ally? I never thought I'd live to see the day.

Friday, Nov. 4 was the best anniversary Yitzhak Rabin could have ever wished for. His personal bodyguard, Dror Yitzhaki appeared on Channel Two with his own deep suspicions of the Shabak's involvement in the murder. He joined the media chorus to reinvestigate the Rabin murder.

And what a chorus it was this year. The Friday papers presented excellent long analyses of the conspiracy. The chorus included Makor Rishon, Yated Neeman, and Hashavuah. As expected the Jerusalem Post barely mentioned the number one issue of the nation this Nov. 4. But best of all was Maariv's 4 page investigation of the conspiracy claims. Reporter Navah Tsuriel did a fair and excellent overview of the conspiracy claims and found that many were not wanting. And congratulations to her for finally solving the riddle of the death of Yoav Kuriel. Yes, he was a Rabin bodyguard and yes, he was murdered. She got eye-witnesses at the burial society to speak out after ten years.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when not just Haaretz, but Channel Two and Maariv stopped protecting the establishment and started acting like journalists. I never thought I'd ever see the day when Channels 33 and 10 invited me to prime time programs to debate the establishment.

I never thought I'd see the day when the Israeli public would wake up and admit Rabin was murdered in a political coup.

I never thought I would live to see myself vindicated.

I never thought we would actually win.

I never thought I'd be so glad I was wrong.

Into The Lion's Den
By Barry Chamish

11-14-5

Saturday Evening, November 12, 2005, Tel Aviv - 100,000 gather at the annual Rabin official memorial ceremony for Yitzhak Rabin. Included were me and twelve of the bravest and best Jews Israel has to offer. Here's how we got there:

In late September, I vowed to gather people to come to the ceremony with signs demanding the Rabin truth. The call to gather was made more urgent by the promised appearance of the disgraced ex-president Bill Clinton. By mid-October the Committee To Reinvestigate The Rabin Assassination was on board and two meetings were held to plan the rally. It was decided that preceding the rally, they would hold a press conference, with all members and me speaking for five minutes and then all taking questions.

I prepared myself for the fiasco.

As I expected, you couldn't get any of the speakers off the platform with a hook for forty minutes each. When my turn finally came, I announced the rally and got off the mike in five minutes. Then I got out of the place, or at least I planned to until who walked in but Yigal Amir's sister Hadas, phoney wife Larissa and their Shabak tagalong named Nachum.

So, I spent a little time watching and talking to the official Amir gang. What was clear was they had no intention of ever freeing Yigal Amir. There was no family desperation to liberate an innocent brother or husband. So I told them off for their ingratitude and got out of the ugly atmosphere pronto.

Once I had left, the tagalong took the mike to explain what a dangerous Shabak agent I was. Then the "wife" announced that she would have nothing to do with anyone who considered Shimon Peres a suspect in the murder.

I was told that sealed their fate for almost everyone in the room. The Amir family is doing the Shabak's bidding. Like I didn't know that anyway.

This was a press conference with almost no press and it had nothing to do with organizing a presence at the memorial rally. And in fact, only one member of this committee even showed up at the rally and he left after half an hour, once the dirty work began. The real planning of the rally belonged to me and Tova Rubin. I wrote and she printed 6,000 flyers asking relevant questions about the murder in Hebrew and English. I brought a five foot long sign asking Who Really Murdered Yitzhak Rabin in both languages and wore my tee-shirt with the same message.

Now add the twelve best Jews in Israel and we really rocked the place.

Stage one - We handed out the flyers to the tens of thousands of rally goers coming at us up Ibn Gvirol Street. Most took mine and read them. Three threw them back in my face. And one called the police to stop us. Fortunately for us, Attorney Dov Eben-Or had arranged a city permit to be there and he was nearby to scare the cops away. We were free.

Stage two - When the traffic thinned out and the proceedings began we began parading. We proudly walked with my sign, two of the men brought their own signs and I was wearing my shirt. It was too crowded to get to the front of the gathering but we found our perfect spot, under the screen where the ceremony was being projected. Facing several thousand rally-goers we stood firm and proud.

Then Peres began his speech and I took out a horn to blast his words away. I was politely warned that this went too far and desisted. Another in our group but a hundred yards away, David Rutstein, apparently didn't take the warnings and was manhandled to the ground by the police and briefly arrested.

When the despicable Clinton began his speech, I booed long and loud. This led to a ruckus. We were surrounded by a pretty angry crowd and lots of cameras. The star of this moment was a tiny Haredi lady named Reena, who stood her ground like a tiger.

After that, we were followed by the cameras wherever we went. When the rally ended, we stood on the raised traffic island as the proudest group in Tel Aviv and let 50,000 passers-by see our message.

We brought the truth to the lion's den and the negative cost was low. Twice the sign was ripped from our hands, and twice we fought to get it back. But now, consider the plusses:

The next day, the IDF radio station broadcast our activities and then interviewed Rabin's daughter Dahlia. She admitted that she also was dissatisfied with the official version of her father's death and wanted answers.

Then the popular Tel Aviv station FM103 reported our work and interviewed a political scientist who concluded that because Rabin's murder was political, we had every right to be at the memorial service doing what we felt was right. The station was then barraged with faxes and e-mails commenting on his controversial conclusion.

We didn't make world news as we had hoped and as we would have if only another hundred people had joined us. But we accomplished something undefinable and after the ceremony was over, six of us sat together at a Tel Aviv pub to figure out what happened that night. Here are some of the notes I quickly took:

- Far, far more people read our flyers and politely ask to know more than resisted them. When I spoke to the young people who wanted to know what I meant by Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin, I saw the same faces as the settler youths who had asked the same question at their rallies. The difference between these kids is really minimal.

* The only people who violently opposed us were old men. And there weren't many of them. If there were 100,000 people at the rally, easily half were wearing uniforms of the Scouts or political youth movements. If these groups hadn't been organized to come en masse, there would have been almost no one in that square mourning Rabin.

* And I was a hero to dozens of those kids, Peace Now included, who saw me recently on television and had read my books. And these kids, yes Peace Now as well, helped us all night long by explaining our cause to those who didn't understand it. And by the way, the press photographers took rolls of film of this magical encounter without being able to explain it to themselves.

* But as for the leaders of these kids...Here's Noar Avoda at work. To stop us from distributing the flyers, two Labor Youth leaders volunteered to distribute them. After wasting a few hundred we figured out they were ending up in the bins. So the next generation of Labour is already being prepared for lying and deceit. Anything for the right cause.

* And who should pass by me but Rabin's Health Minister, Ephraim Sneh. "Hey Sneh," I shouted to him. "Was it two bullets or three?" He knew what I meant. Bet he didn't expect me there to ask. He thought he was in hallowed territory, protected from Israel.

* And, just like any other rally, I met people who admired my work and passed on information. One young man proudly showed me where I mentioned him in my Rabin book. Amir knew him from school and ran to the other entrance of the sterile zone when he saw him. He noted that he had a tiny role in history. Another Laborite in his fifties told me, "You don't know what you did in the last two weeks. Peres was thrown out of leadership because of the suspicions that he murdered Rabin. I know people who switched to Peretz just to get rid of the murderer."

The lion's den was filled with my people and most were good. All they needed were a few facts leading to an awakening. And the twelve of us provided it to tens of thousands of our people. Of the twelve, two were over sixty, and three were middle-aged women.

Now, let us ask where everyone else was.

Where was the Committee To Reinvestigate The Rabin Assassination? Weren't they taking credit for planning this counter-event? And where were the other Rabin investigators and writers? It turns out it's much easier to be brave behind a computer screen. And where were the fine people of Kedumim who I spoke to just a week earlier and told them this was a way to save your homes. I guess they really want to be uprooted without a fight.

And where were the Gush Katif activists? They had a chance to arrive en masse and show the world what was done to them. But they were far too busy having their winter coats stolen from them by the Shabak and gathering in Jerusalem to talk to themselves in an auditorium to take real action. And that goes for all the right/religious protest leaders. It struck us all at that Tel Aviv pub, that they are all too cowardly to face the Israeli left. They are actually afraid of confronting scary groups of teenage leftists and a few angry old men.

And that is why they are losing.

Monday, Nov. 14, 2:30 PM, at Mount Herzl, is Rabin's religious memorial ceremony. You might want to show up to make restitution.

On November 15-16, Israel's worst enemies; James Wolfensohn, Javier Solana, Abu Mazen et all will be gathering in Netanya to praise Rabin and plan our demise. Don't let them soil our land. To join the Netanya protest call Tova 09 8847542.

BEN GVIR SUES ME by Barry Chamish
www.barrychamish.com

On Dec. 6, I received a phone call from the newspaper Kol Ha'ir asking my reaction to Itamar Ben Gvir's suit against me for 140,000 shekels. It was the first I had heard of it, so I stumbled through my reaction. I was better prepared for the next reporter who called, from Yerushalayim Magazine.
I have claimed that Ben Gvir's actions serve the purposes of the state and its security apparatus far better than that of legitimate anti-government protesters. In fact, Ben Gvir and his ilk have destroyed legitimate protest in a number of ways, including:
- Through their atrocious actions, the public associates any anti-government protest with irrational radicalism.
- In fact, to the broad public, one who protests on behalf of any anti-government cause is an advocate of murder and the transfer of Arabs elsewhere.
- By leading unknowing protesters in harmless directions, Ben Gvir and his ilk defuse political debate and send innocent citizens to prison.

When news of the suit reached the public, I was contacted and told, "Yediot Ahronot had an article, I believe by Nahum Barnea, about Ben Gvir's suits. He sues everyone and suspiciously, always wins."
I claimed that Ben Gvir's actions did more to stop the defense of Gush Katif than anything else, excepting the cooperation of the Yesha Council with the authorities. I was not the only one to make the claim and he sued them as well.
First he sued the newspaper Hatsofe. I will include its comment in Hebrew, which many will see in gibberish.

http://www.hazofe.co.il/web/katava6.asp?Modul=24&id=34880&Word=&gilayon=2430&mador=

4. איתמר בן-גביר תובע את "הצופה" משום שלטענתו נכתב או נרמז ב"הצופה" שהוא סוכן שב"כ. התביעה כבר התפרסמה בכמה כלי תקשורת, ורק הנבתעים עדיין לא קיבלו אותה. יכול להיות שהעומס על עורכי הדין של השב"כ כל כך גדול?

The comment in Hebrew reads: "Itamar Ben Gvir has sued Hatsofe for implying that he is a Shabak agent. The suit has been widely reported by the media but we have yet to receive the suit. It must be that the Shabak lawyers have a long list of suits before ours."

Then, Ben Gvir sued a Knesset member, Arie Eldad:

21:30 Jun-29-05 / 22 Sivan 5765

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/print.php3?what=news&id=84874
MK Eldad: Itamar Ben-Gvir is a Gov't Agent Wednesday, June 29, 2005 / 22 Sivan 5765
(IsraelNN.com) Knesset Member Aryeh Eldad (National Union) said this evening that right-wing activist Itamar Ben-Gvir, known for his affiliations with Kahanist organizations, is actually an agent of the General Security Services (GSS). Eldad claims that Ben-Gvir was sent by the GSS to the Maoz HaYam hotel area in order to stir up the emotions and cause provocations.
MK Eldad made the charges on Channel Two's Mishal Cham interview program.
Ben-Gvir has been involved in many right-wing demonstrations and activist operations.

The reporter from Yerushalayim informed me that Eldad had caved in and would be issuing an apology to Ben Gvir. It wasn't worth his time and money to spend thousands of dollars on lawyers and risk losing $40,000. Where Ben Gvir, supposedly a student, finds the money for his serial suits goes unanswered. But the method seems to be foolproof.
On the other hand, with a great deal less funding available, I intend to fight the suit and in doing so to expose, not just Ben Gvir, but the phenomenon of provocateurs wrecking any pretense of free speech and expression in the country.
And I may not be alone for once. In the wake of the publicity, I received a phone call. "Someone close to me faces ten years in prison over a riot Ben Gvir was responsible for. I'm trying to get him to testify for you."
May there be many more.
The reporter from Yerushalayim, Amir Shouan, told me that Ben Gvir claimed I invented the suspicion that he was a Shabak provocateur. I told him that was a lie and asked for two hours to prove it.
It was like shooting fish in a bowl.
Let us begin in Gush Katif. A genuinely courageous protest leader, Nadia Matar, saw the damage Ben Gvir was doing to her cause:

http://israelrules.blogspot.com/2005/07/propoganda-gone-bad.html
The Gush Katif hotel eviction. Did you know that Nadia Matar requested from the police to remove Itamar Ben Gvir and his hooligans from the hotel a week before the eviction? Guess what? The police IGNORED her. Why? They WANTED a big political story of the "crazies" in the hotel. I KNOW most of the people evicted from the hotel. They all said -- a group of Itamar Ben Gvir hooligans came out of nowhere, refused to leave, and caused the whole "uproar" of what happened. Please note: less than 24 hours before the raid and eviction, the police arrive and escort Ben-Gvir out of Gush Katif. Why? He works for them...to rile up his hooligans...and make people like you think (and a lot of the Israeli public) that the hotel was full of fanatical crazies.

Now, let us return to 1994:

http://www.unhchr.ch/Huridocda/Huridoca.nsf/0/85411686c80ca92a802566fe00396cb2?OpenDocument

On 1 August 1994, three Kach activists who had organized the paramilitary camp in Kiryat Arba a week earlier were summoned for questioning by the police. The group's spokesman, Itamar Ben-Gvir, one of the persons who were summoned, indicated from a public telephone that they were not going to cooperate with the police. (Ha'aretz, 29, 31 July 1994; Jerusalem Post, 31 July, 1 August 1994)

On Nov. 3 of this year, I appeared on the London and Kirschenbaum television program on Channel 10. In 1994, Kirschenbaum was Chairman of the Israel Broadcasting Authority. The paramilitary camp organized by Ben Gvir was nothing but a show for an IBA news reporter, Eitan Oren. Ben Gvir staged the camp for Oren, who the late Adir Zik proved was working for the Shabak. On the London and Kirschenbaum program, the latter admitted the report of the camp was staged for what could only be, the Shabak.
The tape should make interesting viewing in court. At a young age, Ben Gvir was already cooperating with a Shabak sting operation.
And I have another tape from December of the following year, as well as the police written records of it. After the Rabin murder, Yigal Amir was interrogated by the police:

Amir: I got to the demonstration and saw a friend from Likud youth on a bus. He told me that Itamar Ben Gvir wanted to kill Rabin tonight. He said Avishai Raviv gave him a gun with blanks in it. "You know about this, of course," he said. "I told the police about it." I laughed. In recollection I can't figure this one out. But there were a lot of strange things...

Previous to the Rabin murder, Ben Gvir engaged in some nasty acts. He and his gang jumped on the car of cabinet minister, Binyamin "Fuad" Ben Eliezer while he was in it. Though he threatened the life of a cabinet minister, Ben Gvir was not jailed.
And that gave him time to personally place a note on Rabin's car which read, "We got to his car,. next time we'll get to Rabin."
So, for threatening the murder of the prime minister, is Ben Gvir imprisoned like the rest of us would be? Of course not. That gives him the time to threaten to kill a singer, Sinead O'Conner:

Singer slams threats of right-winger
NAOMI SEGAL
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
JERUSALEM -- Israeli police plan to question an extreme right-wing activist on suspicion of threatening Irish pop star Sinead O'Connor.
O'Connor canceled her scheduled appearance at a concert Saturday night in Jerusalem's Sultan's Pool after receiving death threats. The concert, billed as being for "Two Capitals, Two States," was sponsored by Israeli and Palestinian women's groups.
No one claimed responsibility for the threats. However, ultra-nationalist Itamar Ben-Gvir said in an Israel Radio interview that he "understood" those who sent the threats.
While not claiming responsibility for the threats, Ben-Gvir said that he and his supporters had succeeded in getting the concert called off.

So how do you like that? Ben Gvir admits that he and his cohorts "succeeded" in getting the concert cancelled, which means he admitted to threatening the life of Sinead O'Connor. As far as anyone knows, murder threats are a serious felony in Israel, but not for Ben Gvir. One can only surmise that Ben Gvir made the threats for some organization powerful enough to keep him out of prison.
Ben Gvir's activities are so obvious, that even his most likely allies have issued the claim that he is a Shabak agent:

http://www.forum.hr/showthread.php?s=b64dbbc322f9703e92a3ee10aa62cbcf&threadid=64085&perpage=20&pagenumber=2
Article has a statement from Kahane Chai ("Kahane Lives"), and a quote from the activist Itamar Ben-Gavi.

First, it's Ben Gvir... And I thik it's clear to anyone who follows Israeli press that he is a Shabak agent provocateur or just plain idiot. Possibly both. He has broken the law so many times, has a new trial each month, and every time he is let out on a technicality... I know several Americans who moved in JDL and later Kach circles and they are all 100% sure that he is a Shabak provocateur.

3. איתמר, אני מפחד מאוד שאתה סוכן שב"כ ( 27/2/2005 19:47)
From the settler's site: Itamar Ben Gvir, I'm afraid you are a Shabak agent."

But these sites barely scratch the accusations as compared to other popular Israeli news sites:

http://www.bsh.co.il/forums/ShowMessage2.asp?id=58066&Fnumber=33&SunId=0
http://rotter.net/forum/politics/7609.shtml

These sites list the activities of and accusations against Ben Gvir, from the first such public accusation in Makor Rishon all the way back to 1993. Shahaf Pilovitch writes in Rotter.net:

The Jerusalem District Court acquitted Itamar Ben Gvir of Intimidation Of The Court and Insulting A Public Officer. Ben Gvir distributed posters throughout Jerusalem accusing Judge Tzvi Segal of being a 'threat to the Right and the settlers. If he doesn't alter his leftish views outside the court, he should not last long as a judge.'
And the court acquitted him? Sounds a lot like Avishai Raviv, no?

Pilovitch concludes:

Itamar Ben Gvir is a Shabak operative and it is up to the public to put a stop to him because the political system which employs him won't. Our politicians work hand in hand with him and none are going to expose the fact that other Avishai Ravivs continue his legacy of destroying the Right from within.

I e-mailed Amir Shouan what I proved within 2 hours:

Main points:

Ben Gvir was called a Shabak provocateur for his activities in Gush Katif by Arie Eldad and Nadia Matar. Matar asked the police to remove him from Gush Katif for his activities. He sued Arie Eldad for the accusation.

Ben Gvir was accused of being a Shabak provocator in both Makor Rishon and Hatsofe. He sued Hatsofe for the accusation.

Most telling: Ben Gvir was accused of being a Shabak provocateur in the Kahane Chai and Yesha
websites. And they should know. Other websites who have so accused him include rotter.net
and bsh.co.il

Ben Gvir organized a staged training camp for Eyal youths which included shooting at effigies of Arabs. This camp became a television report made for IBA Channel One by Eitan Oren, accused of being a Shabak Agent by the late Adir Zik in his radio broadcasts and reports for Hatsofe. On Nov. 3/05, I appeared on Channel Ten's London And Kirschenbaum program. There Kirschenbaum, who was the chairman of the IBA in 1994, admitted that the report organized by Ben Gvir was staged.

But I left out my favorite proof in case, somehow, it is a coincidence. I doubt it.

Seeking Solution, Shin Bet Offers Ben-G'vir Rent-Free Apartment
16:04 Aug 11, '05 / 6 Av 5765

(IsraelNN.com) Seeking to vacate the Kiryat Arba apartment of Miriam and Yaron Adler, the Shin Bet has offered former Kach activist Itamar Ben-G'vir and his wife a rent-free apartment.
One of the reasons the Adlers cannot or will not accept an administrative detention order to leave Sa-Nur is because they cannot move back into their Kiryat Arba home since the Ben-G'virs are renting the apartment.

How thoughtful of the Shabak to give Ben Gvir a rent free apartment. Funny, they did the very same thing for Avishai Raviv.

On Top Of Mount Zion,

Report: Israel To Hand Control Of Jerusalem To Vatican

Haaretz By Amiram Barkat
Haaretz
11-6-5

Israel is to give the Vatican control over one of the most sacred Christian sites in Jerusalem, several European newspapers have reported recently. According to the reports, Israel will give the Holy See possession of the Coenaculum, or the Room of the Last Supper (also known as the Upper Room or the Cenacle), on Mount Zion.

In response to the news, I wrote an article which proved the handover of the Old City of Jerusalem was a done deal. In fact, it was one of the secret clauses of the first Oslo "peace" accord signed by the Israeli government.

A week after, I received a phone call from a rabbi of the Diaspora Yeshiva. He explained that the Tourism Minister was visiting their school the next day and he was trying to fill the study hall to prove to the government that their yeshiva was too valuable to be given away.

I replied that I would not partake in such a spectacle. I might come if the students forcibly barred the Minister or any government official from entering the property. Hadn't he learned anything from Gush Katif? The government of Israel couldn't care less about him and could care even less how many students he can pack into a room. Mount Zion was a litmus test of how much opposition the government and its corrupted army could expect when all of the Old City was turned over to the Vatican.

He said I must talk to the headmaster of the Yeshiva, Rabbi Goldstein.

An hour later, I was honored by a call from Rabbi Goldstein. Soon, however, I was in despair. As far as he knew, the Vatican wanted to turn his school into a money making tourist site and the Ministry of Tourism was being enticed by the prospects of millions of Catholic tourists visiting Israel to see the Last Supper room.

I did my best to wake the Rabbi. I told him that tourism was the facade, not the issue. I tried to explain the global forces using their muscle to get the Jews out of Jerusalem's holy sites. I noted that the government of Israel was the worst enemy of Judaism and that he must block the entrance of their representative with whatever force he could muster.

However, as with the Rabbis of Gush Katif, my words were wasted. Mount Zion will give up without a real fight. You watch.

Nonetheless, the truth marches on. A brilliant Jerusalem-based German-born historian, Dr. Asher Edar, also honored me with a conversation. Vive le difference:

BC - Why is the Vatican suddenly so interested in getting its hands on Mount Zion real estate?

AE - There's nothing sudden about it at all. In fact, the roots of the desire go back 1200 years to the time of Charlemagne. He was the Vatican's military tool for converting Europe to Roman Catholicism. He succeed magnificently and created what is known as the Holy Roman Empire but what was then called The Holy Roman Empire Of The German Nation. Charlemagne's capital was at Aachen and there he built his first cathedral.

BC - Excuse me but, so?

AE - Next to the yeshiva on Mount Zion is the Dormition Abbey, built by the Germans starting in 1906. It is an exact duplicate of Charlemagne's Aachen Cathedral.

BC - How did that happen?

AE - Kaiser Wilhelm II came to Jerusalem in 1898 to build two churches, a modest Lutheran Church of minor religious significance and a magnificent Catholic structure on Mount Zion. In 1898, the ruler of a nation didn't make such a difficult journey to a diplomatic backwater unless it was extremely important. The Vatican was worried that the British had an operating church in Jerusalem and its presence could solidify and spread. The Vatican provided much of the funds for the trip and the bribe to the Turkish Sultan, Khamid. Since Wilhelm had a Protestant population to appease, he put up a smaller Lutheran church as well, but the real prize was Mount Zion.

BC - Why all the money and trouble if the Vatican gets the real estate? What was in it for Germany?

AE - Germany has never given up its dream of reviving the Holy Roman Empire. At the height of that empire, their greatest king, Frederick the Great, marched into Jerusalem and became the city's king. Jerusalem was once part of the Holy Roman Empire and the dream is that it will be again. In this empire, the delineation of powers was strict. The pope was the spiritual leader, but the political leader was whoever ruled Germany. This dream led straight to World War I.

BC - Where do the Jews fit in all this?

AE - Nowhere. Herzl tried to get a role for the Jews and met with Wilhelm in Jerusalem. Wilhelm would have nothing to do with him. His goal was to save Jerusalem for a Christendom led politically by Germany and spiritually by Rome. Nothing has changed except now the pope is a determined German. The Vatican want the Jews out of the Old City and apparently our government is agreeing with them.

Now a history lesson with little comment:

http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0858236.html

Encyclopedia"Frederick II, Holy Roman emperor and German king King of Jerusalem

Having married (1225) Yolande, daughter of John of Brienne, he claimed the crown of Jerusalem, but again postponed his departure on crusade. He further offended the pope by reasserting at the Diet of Cremona (1226) the imperial claim to Lombardy. The Lombard League was immediately revived, but open conflict did not break out until 1236. On the insistent demand of the new pope, Gregory IX, Frederick embarked on a crusade (Sept., 1227), but fell ill, turned back, and was excommunicated.

In 1228, he finally embarked. His "crusade, actually a state visit, was a diplomatic victory. At Jaffa he made a treaty by which Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem were surrendered to the Christians, with the Mosque of Omar being left to the Muslims. In 1229 he crowned himself king at Jerusalem.

http://www.notfah.com/wiki/

Frederick_II,_Holy_Roman_Emperor

In 1226, by means of the Golden Bull of Rimini he confirmed the legitimacy of rule by the Teutonic Knights under their headmaster Hermann von Salza over the Prussian lands east of the Vistula, the Chelmno Land.

At the time he was crowned Emperor, Frederick had promised to go on crusade. In preparation for his crusade, Frederick had, in 1225, married Yolande of Jerusalem, heiress to the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and immediately taken steps to take control of the Kingdom from his new father-in-law, John of Brienne. However, he continued to take his time in setting off, and in 1227, Frederick was excommunicated by Pope Gregory IX for failing to honor his crusading pledge - perhaps unfairly, at this point, as his plans had been delayed by an epidemic. He eventually embarked on the crusade the following year (1228), which was seen on by the pope as a rude provocation, since the church could not take any part in the honor for the crusade, resulting in a second excommunication. Frederick did not attempt to take Jerusalem by force of arms. Instead, he negotiated restitution of Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem to the Kingdom with sultan Al-Kamil, the Ayyubid ruler of the region.

THE TEUTONIC ORDER OF HOLY MARY IN JERUSALEM

Some forty knights were received into the new Order at its foundation by the King of Jerusalem and Frederick of Swabia, who selected their first Master in the name of the Pope and Emperor. The knights of the new confraternity had to be of German birth (although this rule was occasionally relaxed), a unique requirement among the Crusader Orders founded in the Holy Land. They were drawn predominately from the noble or knightly class, although this latter obligation was not formally incorporated into the rule until much later. Their blue mantle, charged with a black cross, was worn over a white tunic, a uniform recognized by the Patriarch of Jerusalem and confirmed by the Pope in 1211.

The waves of German knights and pilgrims who followed the Third Crusade brought considerable wealth to the new German Hospital as well as recruits. This enabled the knights to acquire the Lordship of Joscelin and, soon thereafter they built the castle of Montfort (lost in 1271), the rival of the great hospitaller fortress of Krak des Chevaliers. Never as numerous in the Holy Land as either the Hospitaller or Templar Orders, the Teutonic knights were nonetheless a formidable power.

THE EQUESTRIAN ORDER OF THE HOLY SEPULCHER OF JERUSALEM © Guy Stair Sainty

The origins of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher have been disputed for centuries. In this examination of the history of what is today a major Catholic Order of Knighthood, under the direct protection of the Holy See, it has been my intention to separate fact from fantasy and outline the historical development of this great institution. It now has a world-wide mission to support the Holy Places, particularly in Jerusalem, and has approximately eighteen thousand members across the globe.

Two Christian sources who are certain the goal of the "peace" process is to establish a German/Vatican capital in Jerusalem are David Ben-Ariel, and the Philadelphia Trumpet:

Looking to Jerusalem

We have also said that the next pope would have his sights set on Jerusalem. Ratzinger was known for statements he made concerning a reconciliation of sorts with the Jews. That reconciliation being, "the moment in which Israel too will say yes to Christ. After all, the "star points to Jerusalem, Ratzinger said once. Watch for this new pope to have a more fervent interest in Israeli politics and affairs surrounding Jerusalem.

First let's understand Aachen Cathedral's history:

http://www.holycross.edu/departments/visarts/projects/kempe/text/gloss1.html

Aachen Aachen in north-western Germany (in French, called Aix-la-Chapelle), was the capital of Charlemagne's empire in the 9th century. It became the site of one of the great medieval pilgrimages because of the textile relics obtained by Charlemagne and Ortho III. The four "Great Relics include the cloak of the Blessed Virgin, the swaddling clothes of the infant Jesus, the cloth on which St. John the Baptist,s head lay after his beheading, and the loin cloth which Jesus wore on the Cross. These four relics were shown only once every seven years.

http://www.zenit.org/english/archive/0001/ZE000131.html

CATHOLIC COMMUNITIES HAVE UNIQUE LINK WITH ROME AND JERUSALEM

John Paul II's Letter for 1,200 Years of Aachen Cathedral

VATICAN CITY, JAN 31 (ZENIT).- John Paul II referred to the ties that unite the Catholic community spread over the world with the Church of Rome and the Holy City of Jerusalem, in a letter to commemorate 1,200 years since the construction of Aachen Cathedral, an event which was celebrated last Saturday and Sunday in this historic German locality.

The Pope's special envoy to the celebration was Cardinal Dar?o Castrill?n Hoyos, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy. The Holy Father addressed the letter to Bishop Heinrich Mussinghoff of Aachen. John Paul II pointed out that the Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin, was built at the request of Charlemagne. That same year, 800, the emporer was crowned in Rome by Pope Leo III in the Vatican Basilica. This historical event reflects the closeness that existed between that local Church and the diocese of Rome.

But Aachen Cathedral has yet "another link" that carries it "with heart and mind" to the Holy City. These are 4 precious relics that Jerusalem gave to Charlemagne and that recall "with profound reverence events in the history of salvation." The 4 relics are fragments of the newborn Jesus' diapers, the cloth Jesus wore around his waist on the cross, the dress Mary wore on Christmas Eve, and the cloth of John the Baptist's beheading.

Now, we have a look at Aachen Cathedral:

http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=31&id_site=3

Next, we look at the Dormition Abbey on Mount Zion:

http://www.atlastours.net/holyland/mount_zion_and_dormition_abbey.html

Surprise! It's an exact copy of the first church built by Charlemagne, founder of the Holy Roman Empire.

Conflicting Agendas!

Mount Zion and Dormition Abbey, JerusalemMount Zion lies to the south of today's city walls. Coming out of Zion Gate you are faced with the Benedictine Basilica of the Dormition. The Dormition Abbey is a massive structure that rises on Mount Zion, just outside the Zion Gate, and resembles a mighty fortress; it is topped by a high, domed belltower, a conical dome and corner towers. This Benedictine Basilica, built over the site where Virgin Mary is said to have fallen asleep for the last time (Dormitio - from here one of the apocryphal writings describing this event). It was completed by Kaiser Wilhelm II at the beginning of 20th century based on plans by Heinrich Renard who used as a model the Carolingian cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle.

http://www.christusrex.org/www1/jvc/TVCcenac.html

The Room of the Last Supper lies just outside the Dormition Abbey behind the Franciscan house on Sion. The whole area has been transformed by religious Jews into various Yeshivas (Schools of the Torah) especially due to the devotion for the Tomb of King David which is believed to be located beneath the Upper Room.

Germany Rejects The Jews Not For The Last Time

http://www.jafi.org.il/education/100/act/14zion.html

When Herzl met the Duke of Baden, the Kaiser's uncle, he tried to persuade him of the importance of a meeting with Kaiser Wilhelm for the Zionist cause. After more than one and a half years of fruitless contacts with influential German figures, Herzl was called to the German consul during a stay in Amsterdam and informed that the German Kaiser was prepared to meet him on his journey to Jerusalem.

Kaiser Wilhelm II's first stop on his journey to the land of Israel was at Kushta. In October 1898, Herzl traveled to Kushta, where he met with the Kaiser for the first time and received a promise of a subsequent meeting in Jerusalem.

Herzl and his companions went up to Jerusalem in an optimistic frame of mind to wait the second meeting, which took place on November 2. His frosty reception by the Kaiser and the lack of protocol led Herzl to realize that the German monarch had withdrawn his initial offer of support for Jewish settlement in the land of Israel.

For the rejection of Herzl and the race against Britain for Jerusalem real estate, Turkey and Germany paid a heavy price. In 1910, the Dormition Abbey was completed. Within a decade, Germany and Turkey were defeated in all out war, and Britain was in Jerusalem alongside Herzl's Jews.

Then came the Holocaust.

THE VATICAN AND MOUNT ZION

A Lecture By Barry Chamish

Anyone who did so and didn't receive their orders, write me immediately.

Bulletin:
So we will not be caught off guard as was the case in Yitzhak Rabin's murder, here is the background to Ariel Sharon's second stroke. Be prepared to think this time around:

The First Stroke

Dec. 19 Prime Minister Sharon shares drinks with Shimon Peres in the Knesset. Within half an hour, Sharon is driven to hospital unconscious. It took him a day before he could even spell his own name.
He was brought into the hospital by his bodyguard, Yoram Rubin. As a good chunk of Israel knows today, it was the Peres-Rubin team that murdered Yitzhak Rabin. When Rubin was shown on television news accompanying Sharon's stretcher, suspicions spread throughout the country.
For two days, Sharon remained in hospital where he underwent intensive tests. We may ask, how did they miss the blood clot that struck Sharon barely two weeks later?
The timing of Sharon's latest stroke is uncanny. It occurred one day after he was implicated in an enormous scandal. For those unaware of the background to the scandal, peruse the following:

http://www.barrychamish.com/html/wayne_owens.html

http://www.jewishsf.com/content/2-0-/module/displaystory/story_id/22764/edition_id/456/format/html/displaystory.html

Recently, police have revealed the possibility that Kern served as a front man for Martin Schlaff, a known friend of Sharon’s and an Austrian-Jewish businessman heavily invested in Israel, and that he was the man who stood behind the “loan” in order to receive favors from the prime minister in the form of reopening the casino he owns in Jericho.

From www.inn.com Jan. 4/05

POLICE : EVIDENCE Police Say There´s Evidence Linking Sharon to $3 Million Bribe

CHANNEL TEN REPORTING The police say they know of evidence linking PM Ariel Sharon to the receipt of a $3 million bribe. So reported Channel Ten tonight, causing a storm of reaction and calls for Sharon to resign.

CYRIL KERN & MARTIN SLEEP The investigation of the money trail to Sharon has been underway for over three years, and in fact was first publicized before the last national election, in 2003. The case is known as the Cyril Kern affair, named for the South African friend of Sharon who served as a conduit for the money. The source of the cash, however, has long been suspected to be Austrian millionaire and Jericho casino owner Martin Schlaf. The police say the money was used partially to help Sharon pay back campaign contributions that he had received illegally in 1999, and partly for the Sharon family's private use.

SCHLAF'S PARENTS LIVING IN ISRAEL Because of the suspicions hanging over him, Schlaf has refrained from visiting Israel of late. His brother James, however, came for a visit two weeks ago - and the police jumped at the opportunity. They raided his parents' home in Israel, and confiscated documents and two laptop computers. However, the police were not permitted to extricate the information on the computers without James' permission - which he refused to give.

SCHLAF'S BROTHER JAMES : SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOUR Schlaf's behavior aroused the suspicion of the police, which turned urgently to the courts and said that the computer files will show that the $3 million was in fact passed as a bribe to Ariel Sharon or his sons. The police therefore say that it is imperative for them to be allowed to enter the computers in order to extricate vital evidence in the Kern-Sharon affair.

James Schlaf, aware of the developments, has since given his permission for the police to peruse his computer files.

Schlaf's lawyer Atty. Navot Tel-Tzur said there was actually nothing new in the case "except for the fact that there is a laptop computer involved." He expressed anger at the leak.

END OF SHARON'S POLITICAL CAREER MK Roman Bronfman (Meretz): "If the police have evidence of Sharon's corruption, he must end his political career."

STROKE TWO

Dec. 21 - James Schlaff flies to Israel. He is immediately investigated by the police.
Jan. 3 - The police investigation is leaked to Channel 10 television reporter Baruch Kra.
Jan. 4 - Sharon is in the midst of a career-ending scandal until the late evening when
he is struck down by a life-threatening blood clot in his brain.

http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:BwxcHW5FpqsJ:maarivintl.com/index.cfm%3Ffuseaction%3Darticle%26articleID%3D8468+israelis+attend+schlaff+bat+mitzvah&hl=en&lr=&strip=1

Tonight, in Vienna, some of the heroes of this affair, and of the next one, will meet at the huge bat-mitzvah celebration of Martin Schlaff’s granddaughter. Dov Weisglass, Schlaff’s old friend and lawyer will be there. Haim Ramon, another close friend, will also attend. There will be many others. Some of them from amongst the political, social, and economic elite of Israel. Avigdor Lieberman, for example. No one is embarrassed by it. Some are even proud of it. In another time, another place, one could consider it collusion, coordinating testimonies. After all, Schlaff’s name has recently been tied in to that other affair: “the Cyril Kern affair”. Schlaff, in case you’ve forgotten, is one of the owners of the casino in Jericho.

A live Sharon will have to face prosecution for the Kern-Schlaff bribes, even in Israel's thoroughly corrupt legal system. A dead Sharon will not have to face prosecution. And that would be just fine for the creme de la creme of the country's political leadership.
The first impression is that Sharon survived the first attempt on his life. In reaction, James Schlaff immediately flew to Israel with evidence to bring the prime minister down in scandal. Somehow, the police were tipped off and immediately confiscated the evidence. Once the investigation was done, the results were leaked to the media. On the day of the second stroke, the scandal spread fast, threatening to engulf many of the country's political elite in deep corruption. By 11 PM, Sharon was bleeding heavily from the throat and his prognosis was a living or real death.

As my readers know, I spread my reports out by at least a week so you won't get sick of me. This was a special bulletin. More mail is coming. I am holding onto vital information which will have to wait for another, real report, this week.. And those wonderful people who ordered my new DVD: ZION FIRST - THE VATICAN'S NEW CRUSADE FOR JERUSALEM will be receiving an update. At least here, the news is very good. The DVD was filmed beautifully and preparation has begun on final production.
