Israel’s Murder,
Inc.
This article is
adapted from the concluding chapter of The Assassination
of James Forrestal.
Occupied
Country
Like the Germans
we now know how it feels
To be by foreigners bossed.
It’s like we’d fought a big war with Israel,
And we had, unfortunately, lost.
Who
is strong enough to remove the gun ever-pointed at the White House by the
combined hands of supine politicians, the controlled media and the Zionist
lobby? - Alfred Lilienthal
From
its inception, political Zionism has made great use of terrorism. The following observation is from the biography of General
Patrick J. Hurley, who was President Roosevelt’s special envoy to the Middle
East in 1943:
While throughout
the world Zionism was represented as a religious movement "based on
humanitarian concern for a persecuted people," within Palestine it was a
terrorist organization using tribute, coercion and assassination as its
weapons. Foreign businesses, including American, operating in Palestine
were forced to contribute monthly payments to the Zionist organization's treasury
for permission to remain in business unmolested and un-boycotted. And
when Hurley refused to publicly endorse the Zionist movement during his stay in
Jerusalem, the personal representative of the United States was
threatened with kidnapping and assassination. [David] Ben-Gurion, nominal
head of the Zionist movement in Palestine, admitted that he was not sure of his
ability to control the terrorist Zionist groups. (p. 193. Emphasis added)
The reader should be reminded that these
observations were made and events took place before the assassinations of Lord Moyne and Count Folke
Bernadotte,
the attempted assassinations of Ernest Bevin and Harry Truman, the
bombing of the King David Hotel, and
the slaughter of the residents of the village of Deir Yassin and numerous
other smaller atrocities around that time, and Qibya in 1953. Contrary to the apparent belief of Albert
Einstein and the other signers of that 1948 letter to The New York Times, Menahem Begin’s terrorist Irgun was hardly a minority extremist
element within political Zionism.
Canadian author Greg Felton writes persuasively of how
the Israeli government under former terrorist and assassin Yitzhak Shamir
plotted to assassinate President George H.W. Bush at the Madrid Conference in
1991 because of the pressure that Bush was putting on them to make concessions
to the Palestinians, only to have the plot thwarted by the dissident Mossad
agent, Victor Ostrovsky. (The Host and the Parasite, pp. 124-128) Books by Michael Collins
Piper
and Salvador Astucia complement one another on the involvement of Israel
in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Bringing
the subject of Israeli assassinations up to date, National Public
Radio
began a program on January 31, 2018, this way:
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Our
guest, Israeli investigative reporter Ronen Bergman, says that Israel has
developed the most robust streamlined assassination machine in history. His new book, based on a
thousand interviews, chronicles decades of shootings, poisonings, bombings and
drone strikes. The targets were perceived enemies of the Jewish state, ranging
from British colonial officials in the 1940s to leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah and
the PLO to Iranian nuclear scientists. Bergman describes the planning and
approval process for targeted killings, which typically involved young military
and intelligence operatives making the case for a strike to the country's prime
minister.
Ronen Bergman is a prominent Israeli journalist and
author of Rise and Kill First: The Secret
History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations. Many of the assassinations
that he describes were secret ones, with the deaths made to appear as the
result of something other than murder.
The Israelis would like to boast that they originated these techniques,
but most are right out of the CIA assassination manual.
The names of
the victims on the Wikipedia “List of Israeli assassinations” page actually stretches for pages and pages. As of this writing, the site has 268
endnotes. The murderous reach is
global. Here are a couple of examples:
Heinz Krug,
West German rocket scientist assisting Egypt with its missile program. On September 11, 1962, he was abducted from
his company offices on Munich's Schillerstrasse. His body was never found. Swiss police later arrested two Mossad agents
for threatening the daughter of another scientist and found that they were
responsible for the killing.
Syrian
General Muhammad Suleiman, National Security Advisor and Presidential Advisor
for Arms Procurement and Strategic Weapons.
He was, “killed by sniper fire to the head and neck. Israel denied
responsibility for the killing but was widely suspected of involvement. According to an NSA intercept published by
Wikileaks, the NSA defined it as the ‘first known instance of Israel targeting
a legitimate government official.’"
Most of the
assassination victims have been Palestinians, of course, many of them important
leaders, and the list stretches on at truly sickening length.
FRESH AIR’s Dave Davies manages to
shine a light on the mentality behind the Israeli policy of assassinations with
the following exchange:
DAVIES: And to
what extent do you think the Israeli willingness to embrace targeted
assassinations is rooted in the horrors of the Holocaust and a determination to
avoid that ever happening again?
BERGMAN: Profoundly. David Ben-Gurion, the
most important Jew in the last 1,000 years at least, objected the use of
targeted killing [sic]. He said this is not the weapon that the Jewish people
should embrace, but that changed after the Holocaust, even before Israel was
established as a state. I think that the new Israelis – those who build [sic]
the nation, those who built Israel, those who established Israeli Defense
Forces and intelligence community – and for that sake, all Israelis – I myself,
I’m the son of both Holocaust survivors, both my parents are Holocaust
survivors – the new Israelis came from the Holocaust with three main lessons.
The first is that there will always be a
gentile, a goy, who is after us to kill us. The
second is that the – all the other gentiles, the goyim, are not going to help
us. They’re going to stand aside, if not helping the first one. And the third
is that we should do everything to have a safe haven, to have a homeland, to
have Israel and defend it with whatever price.
That is to say, the Zionist experiment must be
defended at the price of the sacrifice of the most basic standards of decency
and morality because, as the arch-Zionist Forrestal biographer Arnold Rogow put it, “Jew-baiters
and anti-Semites of one variety or the other—Greek, Roman, and Christian—have
largely dominated the Gentile world, and as a result that world has been one in
which the Jew has always had to move cautiously and, more often than not, live
dangerously.” Putting it another way,
it’s us against the world, so anything goes.
It’s truly chilling that there are people who harbor such atavistic,
tribal attitudes, especially when one considers the power that they now wield
in the most powerful country in the world.
Perhaps the
most important power, mentioned in Chapter 12 of The Assassination of James Forrestal, is thoroughgoing control of the NOMA, the national opinion
molding apparatus. Controlling the GAME,
the government, academia, the media, and the entertainment, enables control of
the NOMA. The media, it should be
pointed out, also includes book publishers.
Thus, the national eyes remained shut and the national mouth closed when
the government kept its feeble official inquiry into James Forrestal’s death
secret for 55 years. One need only ask
in whose interests was that secrecy. It
was certainly not that of the American people.
One might as well ask in what one country in the world did the majority
of the population favor America’s invasion of Iraq. It was certainly not the United States or Iraq
or any of those countries that were fashioned “the coalition of the willing.”
Interestingly,
the part of the GAME that gave way with the Forrestal death secrecy was the
government when the Navy JAG office released the Willcutts
Report to this writer in 2004. Then the
ranks closed and with the very tiniest of exceptions, they have all dummied up
about it. In this instance, the media
include virtually all of what has come to be called the “alternative media” as
well, a fact that should really give one pause.
How really
important was this assassination and
how completely is our information
controlled?
James V.
Forrestal was a very prominent and popular man in his day. As Under Secretary of the Navy he had
overseen the massive procurement effort that furnished the war’s vital weaponry,
particularly in the Pacific Theater. But
his image went quickly south as shaped by the NOMA when he took his stand
against the Zionists.
Also, as noted near the end of “James
Forrestal, the Great Patriot,”
Forrestal is hardly the only person upon whom the Zionist-controlled NOMA has
exercised its power in a very negative fashion.
Consider this opening sentence from Wikipedia concerning one of the people on the list of those who have
been smeared:
Dorothy Celene Thompson (July 9, 1893 –
January 30, 1961) was an American journalist and radio broadcaster, who in 1939
was recognized by Time magazine as the second most influential woman in
America next to Eleanor Roosevelt. She is notable as the first American
journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany in 1934 and as one of the few women
news commentators on radio during the 1930s. She is regarded by some as the "First
Lady of American Journalism."
Dorothy Who? Scroll down to the “Fame and controversy”
section on Wikipedia and you’ll see what happened:
In 1941, Thompson wrote "Who Goes Nazi?" for Harper’s
Magazine. She was a keynote speaker at the Biltmore Conference, and by
war's end was regarded as one of the most effective spokespersons for Zionism.
Thompson switched her views round radically after a trip to Palestine in 1945,
and ran into difficulties, including accusations of anti-Semitism, which she
strongly rebuffed, after being warned that hostility toward Israel was, in the
American press world, “almost a definition of professional suicide.” She
eventually concluded that Zionism was a recipe for perpetual war.
And as we have
seen, she was right, and so were the people who warned her what she, like
Forrestal, was in for if she were to stand up for the truth:
Before long, her
column and radio programs, her speaking engagements, and her fame were all
gone. Today, she has largely been erased
from history.
In the coming
decades, other Americans were similarly written out of history, forced out of
office, their lives and careers destroyed, history was distorted, re-written,
erased, bigotry promoted, supremacy disguised, facts replaced by fraud.
Very few people
know this history. The excellent books
that document it are largely out of print, their facts and very existence
virtually unknown to the vast majority of Americans, even those who focus on
the Middle East. Instead, false theories
have been promulgated, mendacious analyses promoted, chosen authors celebrated,
others assigned to oblivion. (Quote from Alison Weir, Against Our Better Judgment: The
Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used to Create Israel, p.93)
To their great credit, with their widely acclaimed
1992 Forrestal biography, Townsend Hoopes and Douglas Brinkley went a long way
toward restoring Forrestal’s reputation, which had been so badly damaged by the
journalists Drew Pearson and Walter Winchell and the rest of the pack, and
later by the first biographer, Arnold Rogow, and the others that we have mentioned. Their chosen title truly sums up their
accurate characterization of one of the greatest public servants this country
has ever had, Driven Patriot.
Hoopes and Brinkley also give credit to Forrestal for
his farsightedness in urging a more lenient policy toward Japan toward the end
of the Pacific War as a means of ending the bloodshed and blocking Soviet
penetration into the Far East. They
credit him, as well, for coming up with the war-ending clever response to the
Japanese offer to surrender that allowed them to keep the Emperor while placating
the American public by fashioning the surrender terms as “unconditional.” (For
more on this see my article, “Oliver Stone on the Japanese Surrender.”)
But to the people who took his life and to those who
covered up his assassination, the great statesman and the great patriot James
Forrestal was just another person who stood in the way of their ambitions.
