Jewish and Christian Zionist Control of our Media and Government

 

This information was posted on the WWW by a physician/philosopher who has since removed the page for fear that it may jeopardize his future in his new job. For this reason I am not disclosing his name. I just so happened to have saved the article as a MS Word doc and changed it to an html file for posting on the Internet for your information.

 

 

  Zionism is the doctrine that Jews should create a racist Jewish state in Palestine, and have the right to kill, displace, and dispossess the non-Jewish inhabitants.  Zionism is the ideology that has sanctioned the killing of more than a 100,000 non-Jews and the ethnic cleansing of 1.5 million from Palestine, and the ongoing occupation and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza.

 

I’m reproducing here information that I’ve garnered from the Internet.  I cannot vouch for its accuracy—but I’ve found no errors in it yet.  My point is not to promote hatred for the Jewish and Christian Zionists who control our banks, our government, and our media.  My point is to show the American people that their government and their media cannot be morally objective in this conflict.  Americans must expect to receive pro-Israeli propaganda.  The Jews and Christians who control most of our media must be expected to be sympathetic to Israel and the USA’s involvement in war against Israel’s enemies until proven otherwise.  Indeed, the Israeli military occupation of, and continuing ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza are universally suppressed and ignored.  Daily Israeli house demolitions, land grabs, killings, beatings, torture, and all sorts of terror and aggression against the Palestinian people are completely ignored whereas any Palestinian attacks are loudly decried.  The effect is to make ignorant Americans see all violent Palestinian responses to Israeli terror as unjustified “terrorism”.  In fact, I know of no person of Jewish origins who owns, operates, or appears in our media who is an anti-Zionist; this in spite of the fact that the Internet is full of anti-Zionist Jews and Christians clamoring to be heard.   Bottom line:  The only real news you’re going to get is from the Internet.  Forget the commercial media.

Jewish presence in the US Government under President Bush

 

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

 

Note: The Washington Institute for Near East Policy is the Israeli lobby's "think tank."

Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.

 

Ari Fleischer –Former Official White House Spokesman for the Bush (Jr) Administration.

Prominent in the Jewish community, he reportedly holds Israeli citizenship.

 

Richard Perle --Former Bush Foreign Policy Advisor and chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board.  He had worked as Bush's Jewish national security campaign advisor.  A very likely Israeli agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy.  He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam.

 

Paul Wolfowitz  --Deputy Defense Secretary, Bush's Jewish foreign policy campaign advisor,  close associate of Israeli agent Richard Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military.

 

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

 

Elliott Abrams—Now in charge of the Bush Administration’s Middle East Policy.  A racist Jew, he opposes mixed Jewish-gentile marriages.  During the Reagan Administration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State, handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs.  He played an important role in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government.  He also actively deceived three congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony.  Abrams pled guilty  in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. A year later, Bush Sr. granted Abrams a full pardon.  He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State Department.

 

Dov Zekheim -- Under Secretary of Defense.  He was Bush's Jewish foreign policy advisor and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship. 

 

Richard Haas --Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Ambassador at large.  He is also Director of National Security Programs and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).  He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the first Bush (Sr) Administration who sat on the National Security Council, and who consistently advocates bombing Iraq.

 

Henry Kissinger--  One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board.

For detailed information about Kissinger's evil past, read Seymour Hersch's book. Kissinger had a part in the Watergate crimes, Southeast Asia mass murders, Chile dictatorship and reaped investment profits in Yugoslavia.  He consistently advocates bombing Iraq.  Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon of the U.S.

 

James Schlesinger -- One of many Pentagon Advisors, Schlesinger also sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor. He consistently advocates bombing Iraq.

 

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

 

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

 

Robert Satloff -- U.S. National Security Council Advisor,

Satloff was the executive director of the Israeli lobby's "think tank," Washington Institute for Near East Policy.  Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Daniel Saul Goldin -- Head of NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration.  A leftover from the Clinton Administration, Golding is frequently praised by the Israeli media as a friend of Israel.

 

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

 

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

 

Christopher Gersten --Former Executive Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, husband of Labor Secretary, Linda Chavez, and reportedly very pro-Israel. Their children are being raised in the Jewish faith.

 

Mark Weinberger -- Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

 

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

 

Bonnie Cohen -- Under Secretary of State for Management.

 

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

 

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

Bush has hired these Israeli lobbyists to the highest positions in the land, he has escalated the bombing of Iraq, and already sided with Israel in killing Palestinian civilians.

 

 

JEWS AND THE MEDIA: SHAPING WAYS OF SEEING

By Kevin McDonald, California State University   http://www.csulb.edu/~kmacd/

 

By all accounts, ethnic Jews have a powerful influence in the American media far larger than any other identifiable group. The extent of Jewish ownership and influence on the popular media in the United States is remarkable given the relatively small proportion of the population that is Jewish.28 In a survey performed in the 1980s, 60 percent of are presentative sample of the movie elite were of Jewish background(Powers et al. 1996, 79n13). Michael Medved (1996, 37) notes that it makes no sense at all to try to deny the reality of Jewish power and prominence in popular culture. Any list of the most influential production executives at each of the major movie studios will produce a heavy majority of recognizably Jewish names. This prominent Jewish role is obvious to anyone who follows news reports from Tinsel Town or even bothers to read the credits on major movies or television shows.
 Media ownership is always in flux, but the following is a reasonably accurate portrait of current media ownership in the United States by ethnic Jews:

 The largest media company in the world was recently formed by the merger of America On Line and Time Warner. Gerald M. Levin, formerly the head of Time Warner, is the Chief Executive Officer of the new corporation. AOL-Time Warner has holdings in television (e.g., Home Box Office, CNN, Turner Broadcasting), music (Warner Music), movies (Warner Brothers Studio, Castle Rock Entertainment, and New Line Cinema), and publishing (Time, Sports Illustrated, People, Fortune).

 The second largest media company is the Walt Disney Company, headed by Michael Eisner. Disney has holdings in movies (Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, under Walt Disney Studios, includes Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, Caravan Pictures, Miramax Films); television (Capital Cities/ABC [owner of the ABC television network], Walt Disney Television, Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television, ESPN, Lifetime, A&E Television networks) and cable networks with more than 100 million subscribers; radio (ABC Radio Network with over 3,400 affiliates and ownership of 26 stations in major cities); publishing (seven daily newspapers, Fairchild Publications[Women’s Wear Daily], and the Diversified Publishing Group).

 The third largest media company is Viacom, Inc., headed by Sumner Redstone, who is also Jewish. Viacom has holdings in movies (Paramount Pictures); broadcasting (the CBS TV network; MTV [a particular focus of criticism by cultural conservatives], VH-1, Nickelodeon, Showtime, the National Network, Black Entertainment Television, 13 television stations; programming for the three television networks); publishing (Simon & Schuster, Scribner, The Free Press, and Pocket Books), video rentals (Blockbuster); it is also involved in satellite broadcasting, theme parks, and video games.

 Another major media player is Edgar Bronfman, Jr., the son of Edgar Bronfman, Sr., president of the World Jewish Congress and heir to the Seagram distillery fortune. Until its merger with Vivendi, a French Company, in December 2000, Bronfman headed Universal Studios, a major movie production company, and the Universal Music Group, the world’s largest music company (including Polygram, Interscope Records, Island/Def Jam, Motown, Geffen/DGC Records). After the merger, Bronfman became the Executive Vice-Chairman of the new company, Vivendi Universal, and the Bronfman family and related entities became the largest shareholders in the company.29 Edgar Bronfman, Sr. is on the Board of Directors of the new company.

 Other major television companies owned by Jews include New World Entertainment (owned by Ronald Perlman who also owns Revlon cosmetics),and DreamWorks SKG (owned by film director Steven Spielberg, former Disney Pictures chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, and recording industry mogul David Geffen). DreamWorks SKG produces movies, animated films, television programs, and recorded music. Spielberg is also a Jewish ethnic activist. After making Schindler’s List, Spielberg established Survivors of the Shoah Foundation with the aid of a grant from the U.S. Congress. He also helped fund Professor Deborah Lipstadt’s defense against a libel suit brought by British military historian and Holocaust revisionist David Irving.

 In the world of print media, the Newhouse media empire owns 26 daily newspapers, including several large and important ones, such as the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Newark Star-Ledger, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune; Newhouse Broadcasting, consisting of 12 television broadcasting stations and 87 cable-TV systems, including some of the country’s largest cable networks; the Sunday supplement Parade, with a circulation of more than 22 million copies per week; some two dozen major magazines, including the New Yorker, Vogue, Mademoiselle, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Bride’s, Gentlemen’s Quarterly, Self, House & Garden, and all the other magazines of the wholly owned Conde Nast group.

 The newsmagazine, U.S. News & World Report, with a weekly circulation of 2.3 million, is owned and published by Mortimer B. Zuckerman. Zuckerman also owns New York’s tabloid newspaper, the Daily News, the sixth-largest paper in the country, and is the former owner of the Atlantic Monthly. Zuckerman is a Jewish ethnic activist. Recently he was named head of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, an umbrella organization for major Jewish organizations in the U.S.30 Zuckerman’s column in U.S. News and World Report regularly defends Israel and has helped to rejuvenate the America-Israeli Friendship League, of which he is president.31

 Another Jewish activist with a prominent position in the U.S. media is Martin Peretz, owner of The New Republic (TNR) since 1974. Throughout his career Peretz has been devoted to Jewish causes, particularly Israel. During the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, he told Henry Kissinger that his dovishness stopped at the delicatessen door, and many among his staff feared that all issues would be decided on the basis of what was good for the Jews (Alterman 1992, 185, 186). Indeed, one editor was instructed to obtain material from the Israeli embassy for use in TNR editorials. It is not enough to say that TNR’s owner is merely obsessed with Israel; he says so himself. But more importantly, Peretz is obsessed with Israel’s critics, Israel’s would-be critics, and people who never heard of Israel, but might one day know someone who might someday become a critic (Alterman 1992, 195).

 The Wall Street Journal is the largest-circulation daily newspaper in the U.S. It is owned by Dow Jones & Company, Inc., a New York corporation that also publishes 24 other daily newspapers and the weekly financial paper Barron’s. The chairman and CEO of Dow Jones is Peter R. Kann.  Kann also holds the posts of chairman and publisher of the Wall Street Journal.

 The Sulzberger family owns the New York Times Co., which owns 33 other newspapers, including the Boston Globe. It also owns twelve magazines (including McCall’s and Family Circle, each with a circulation of more than 5 million), seven radio and TV broadcasting stations; a cable-TV system; and three book publishing companies. The New York Times News Service transmits news stories, features, and photographs from the New York Times by wire to 506 other newspapers, news agencies, and magazines.

 Jewish ownership of the New York Times is particularly interesting because it has been the most influential newspaper in the U.S. since the start of the 20th century. As noted in a recent book on the Sulzberger family (Tifft & Jones 1999), even at that time, there were several Jewish-owned newspapers, including the New York World (controlled by Joseph Pulitzer), the Chicago Times-Herald and Evening Post (controlled by H. H. Kohlsaat), and the New York Post (controlled by the family of Jacob Schiff). In 1896 Adolph Ochs purchased the New York Times with the critical backing of several Jewish businessmen, including Isidor Straus (co-owner of Macy’s department stores) and Jacob Schiff (a successful investment banker who was also a Jewish ethnic activist). Schiff and other prominent Jews like . . . Straus had made it clear they wanted Adolph to succeed because they believed he could be of great service to the Jews generally’ (Tifft & Jones 1999, 37–38). Ochs’s father-in-law was the influential Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, president of the AJ Congress and the World Jewish Congress and the founder of Reform Judaism in the United States.

 There are some exceptions to this pattern of media ownership, but even in such cases ethnic Jews have a major managerial role.32 For example, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation owns Fox Television Network, 20thCentury Fox Films, Fox 2000, and the New York Post. However, Peter Chernin is president and CEO of Fox Group, which includes all of News Corporation’s film, television, and publishing operations in the United States. Murdoch is deeply philosemitic and deeply committed to Israel, at least partly from a close relationship he developed early in his career with Leonard Goldenson, who founded the American Broadcasting Company. (Goldenson was a major figure in New York’s Jewish establishment and an outspoken supporter of Israel.) Murdoch’s publications have taken a strongly pro-Israel line, including The Weekly Standard, the premier neo-conservative magazine, edited by William Kristol.

Murdoch as publisher and editor-in-chief of the New York Post, had a large Jewish constituency, as he did to a lesser degree with New York magazine and The Village Voice. Not only had the pre-Murdoch Post readership been heavily Jewish, so, too, were the present Post advertisers.  Most of Murdoch’s closest friends and business advisers were wealthy, influential New York Jews intensely active in pro-Israel causes. And he himself still retained a strong independent sympathy for Israel, a personal identification with the Jewish state that went back to his Oxford days. (Kiernan 1986, 261)

Murdoch also developed close relationships with several other prominent Jewish figures in the New York establishment, including attorney Howard Squadron, who was president of the AJ Congress and head of the Council of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, and investment banker Stanley Schuman.
Another exception is NBC which is owned by General Electric. However, the President of NBC is Andrew Lack and the President of NBC News is Neal Shapiro, both of whom are Jewish. In addition, the Bertelsmann publishing group is a Germany-based company that is the largest publisher of trade books in the world and also owns magazines, newspapers, and music. Most of Bertelsmann’s influence is outside the United States, although it recently purchased the Random House Publishing Company.

 Even granting the exceptions, it is clear that Jews enjoy a very powerful position in U.S. media, a position that is far more powerful than any other racial/ethnic group. The phenomenal concentration of media power in Jewish hands becomes all the more extraordinary when one notes that Jews constitute approximately 2.5% of the U.S. population.  If the Jewish percentage of the American media elite is estimated at 59% (Lichter et al. 1983, 55)—probably an underestimate at the present time, the degree of disproportionate representation may be calculated as greater than 2000%. The likelihood that such an extraordinary disparity could arise by chance is virtually nil.

The election of Ariel Sharon as Prime Minister of Israel provides another study in contrast. There was a huge difference in the media reaction to Sharon and the response to the situation in Austria when Jörg Haider’s Freedom Party won enough seats in parliament to have a role in the Austrian government. Several countries, including Israel, recalled their ambassadors in response to the election of Haider. Politicians around the world condemned Austria and announced that they would not tolerate Haider’s participation in any Austrian government.  Trade embargoes against Austria were threatened.  The cause of these actions was that Haider had said that there had been many decent people fighting on the German side during World War II, including some in the SS.  He had also said that some of Hitler’s economic policies in the1930s had made good sense. And he had called for a cutoff of immigration into Austria.  Haider apologized for these statements, but the electoral success of his party resulted in the ostracism of Austria and a continuous barrage of alarmist media attacks against him personally.

Contrast this with the treatment of Ariel Sharon’s election as prime minister of Israel in 2001. Sharon was Israel’s Minister of Defense in September 1982 during the slaughter of 700–2000 Palestinians, including women and children in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps just outside Beirut, Lebanon. New York Times journalist Thomas Friedman saw groups of young men in their twenties and thirties who had been lined up against walls, tied by their hands and feet, and then mowed down gangland style.36 Radio communications among Israeli military commanders were monitored in which they talked about carrying out purging operations in the refugee camps. While the actual killing was done by Lebanese Christians supported by Israel, the Israeli army kept the camps sealed for two days while the slaughter went on. The Kahan Commission, an Israeli commission formed to investigate the incident, concluded that Sharon was indirectly responsible for the massacre, and it went on to say that Sharon bears personal responsibility.37

The reaction to the election of Sharon in the U.S. media has been subdued to say the least. No trade embargoes were threatened, no ambassadors were recalled. The Los Angeles Times dutifully printed a column in which Sharon was portrayed as having learned from his mistakes. 38 In June, 2001, Sharon was indicted as a war criminal in Belgium on the basis of affidavits provided by survivors of the slaughter.

 

 

 

 

From “Intractable foes, warring narratives” by Eric Alterman MSNBC

 

A TALE OF TWO STORIES       In most of the world, it is the Palestinian narrative of a dispossessed people that dominates. In the United States, however, the narrative that dominates is Israel's: a democracy under constant siege. Europeans and other Palestinian partisans point to the fact that the Israel lobby in America is one of the strongest anywhere, and Jewish individuals and organizations give millions of dollars to political candidates in order to reward pro-Israel policies and punish those who support the Palestinians. Another reason, however, is the near-complete domination by pro-Israel partisans of the punditocracy discourse.  Some Jewish groups in America like to harass news organizations like The Washington Post or National Public Radio for what they believe to be coverage insufficiently sympathetic to Israel's plight. But even Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu would not be able to complain about the level of support their actions typically receive from the members of the punditocracy.

 

For reasons of religion, politics, history and genuine conviction the punditocracy debate of the Middle East in America is dominated by people who cannot imagine criticizing Israel. The value of this legion to the Jewish state is, for better or worse, literally incalculable, particularly when push - as it inevitably does in the Middle East - comes to shove.  Here's a list I made in trying to measure the immeasurable.

HOW FRIENDS CAN BEST HELP       As can be seen from this list of lists, the entire anti-Israel contingent of the punditocracy does not add up to a single George Will or William Safire, much less a Wall Street Journal or US News.  It remains to be seen whether unqualified support for all of Israel's actions is really in that tortured nation's best interest in the long run.  Sometimes the bravest and most valuable advice a trusted friend can give is: "STOP."

 

Someone is going to have to stop first if this unending catastrophe is ever to end.
