-
- A member of one of the Labor Zionist crime families who
brought us the "peace" process may yet save the day with his
crimes. He is Prime Minister Barak's cabinet secretary Yitzhak
Herzog.
-
- For a change, today's headlines (Dec.7) are all about
high
crime in the camp of Ehud Barak. The high criminal written about was
Herzog, who was interrogated by Israel Police for two hours but refused
to sing a note. Instead, while keeping his trap hermetically shut, he
handed
over a written proclamation of innocence. He explained after,
that until
the State Attorney General, Elyakim Rubinstein ruled on the
legal issues,
he was under no obligation to cooperate with the
cops.
-
- What
he meant was, he would wait until Rubinstein once
again came to the
rescue with his usual corrupt judicial ruling to bail
out the ruling
elite. But the AG is in a tough spot this time around. He
has spent so
many years bailing out the country's leaders over their coverup
of the
Rabin assassination and the Shabak incitements which preceded them,
that he has lost too much public goodwill. So far, he hasn't found a good
enough formula to fool the people as successfully as before.
-
- So, if Rabin won't
bring down Barak, this time Herzog
just might.
-
- The sad tale begins in the
months prior to the last elections.
Pres. Clinton sent a team of
electioneering bunco artists led by James
Carville to assure Barak's
victory. A far-reaching scam was hatched to
raise massive funds by
defrauding North American Jews, and Barak's brother-in-law,
as well as
Herzog organized the grim details.
-
- Using Barak's political
influence, the usual network
of well-placed and financed overseas Jews
were to be offered opportunities
to contribute to a variety of
charitable funds, supporting worthy causes
like defeating unemployment,
educating children about democracy, building
sports facilities in the
slums, and the like. Only these charities were
non-existent; in fact
they were fronts for Barak's election campaign. Well-intentioned
Jews
forked over their cash to help Israel's forlorn and under-educated,
and
their money, tens of millions of dollars of it, went straight into
Barak's back pocket.
-
- The scammers went campaigning all over the American
continent
but hardest hit, reportedly, was Canada, where another Herzog
named Shiri,
led the fraud operation. She insists she knew nothing
about the illegalities
involved. But Yitzhak Herzog most certainly did
since he was raised in
an atmosphere of crime.
-
- Big Daddy
Chaim
-
- His father Chaim Herzog appeared to the world the picture
of
propriety. Oxford-educated, his father was chief rabbi of Ireland.
Previous
to his appointment as President, he was founder of one of the
nation's
biggest law firms; Herzog Fox Neeman and later took in his son
Yitzhak
as a partner. Surely, he was above corruption.
-
- So the nation thought
until he showed his cards just
prior to leaving the Presidency in early
1993. On December 31st, 1992,
he was shuttled to China and Kazakhstan
on the private plane of the country's
richest businessman Shaul
Eisenberg. Prime Minister Rabin was warned by
compatriots like
then-Religious Affairs Minister Uzi Baram that a flight
on a private
jet was unthinkably unethical and asked him to foot the bill
for a
government-sanctioned plane journey. If not, he warned Rabin, a full-scale
scandal would erupt if the trip was discovered.
-
- Rabin chose to take his chances
and soon after, prevailed
on the Treasury to increase its fund for
insuring exports to the Kazakhstan
region from $50 million to $400
million. Thereafter, the President of the
Kazakhstani Republic, one
Nursultan Nazarbayev visited Israel and the scandal
broke.
-
- It seems the US
government had quietly released $400
million in credits for joint
Israeli-American projects in Kazakhstan. Neither
Eisenberg nor Herzog
would talk about what the credits were to be used
for, nor why Rabin
agreed to insure them to the tune, also of $400 million,
but a flimsy
press leak suggested the money was to be used for a cotton
farm.
-
- Now,
since oil-rich Kazakhstan, which borders radical
Iran, has not turned
into the textile capital of Central Asia, we can be
sure Eisenberg and
Herzog were not aiming to be Cotton Kings. We can be
equally sure that
Herzog received a huge payoff for duties done as President
though we
can't pinpoint the favors. However one act alone gives a hint
of the
scope of Herzog's lack of scruples. He pardoned the General Security
Services (Shabak) officers who lied about killing two terrorists in what
is known as the Bus 300 scandal. By doing so, he created the monster
Shabak
which used murder without conscience, including that of Yitzhak
Rabin,
to promote the Oslo "peace" process.
-
- You see, when the
Labor establishment needed really huge
political favors, Eisenberg was
sent in to make the payoffs. Two examples
will suffice. During the
Persian Gulf War, Defence Minister Moshe Arens
did precisely nothing to
defend his country from Iraqi SCUD attacks. The
very day he left
office, he was appointed to an executive position in Eisenberg's
company. Remember Gonen Segev? He abandoned the right wing Tsomet Party
to support Rabin's peace process as the new Energy Minister. Once he
retired
from politics, he was munificently appointed to head an
Eisenberg-initiated
joint Jordanian-Israeli energy project.
-
- And this was far from
the only example of how Chaim Herzog
abused his presidential influence
to garner favors from the wealthy and
crooked. Previously, Herzog's law
firm bought Robert Maxwell's memoirs
and then the president and Maxwell
entered into a shady barter deal with
the Russians reportedly involving
supplying the then-USSR with Israeli
high tech aeronautics. The rumor
at the time had Herzog and Maxwell selling
the Ruskies the Israeli
fighter jet, the Lavi, which American pressure
had forced Israel to
shelve.
-
- Enter Brother Yoel
-
- Yitzhak Herzog's older brother
Yoel married very well.
His wife is the daughter of the Swiss
multi-millionaire Nissim Gaon. And
in 1978, Gaon helped fund a new
financial establishment in Israel, the
North American Bank. Naturally,
he appointed his son-in-law Yoel to the
board. The bank wasted no time
bribing politicians, including then-Health
Minister Ehud Olmert, who
was given a $50,000 "loan" at no interest,
which was never
returned; in fact, not an agora of the principle was ever
paid back,
nor was it intended to be. Then in 1984, two executives of the
bank,
one its Director General, simply emptied the vaults and absconded
to
Paris with $32 million, literally all the bank's liquid assets.
-
- Eventually they were
caught and they and four other executives
were imprisoned for their
role in the theft. The only executive whose name
was never mentioned in
what was then Israel's biggest theft ever, was Yoel
Herzog.
-
- But in 1996, his luck
ran out. It seems Yoel really wanted
to run a Casino in Cannes, France.
So he bribed the mayor of the city to
award him a casino license. For
this he was arrested and imprisoned. We
were reliably informed that
family influence shortened his sojourn in French
lockup.
-
- Yitzhak's
Wife Michal
-
- Yitzhak Herzog's wife Michal runs the Marc Rich
Foundation
in Israel. Her boss has been on the Interpol and FBI most
wanted list for
almost two decades. In 1979, the American government
embargoed Iran for
kidnapping its Teheran embassy staff and forbade
trade in its oil. Rich
saw that as an opportunity and acted as a
mediator on behalf of the Iranians
for its discounted petroleum. He was
arrested by the FBI for treason and
fraud and skipped bail, arriving
in Switzerland where his ill-begotten
millions awaited him in an
"offshore" account. The Swiss, ever
grateful for his bribes,
have prevented his extradition ever since.
-
- As has, an equally grateful
Israel. Rich has, over the
years, "contributed" to a variety
of Labor Party politicians,
most notably and graciously to Shimon Peres
and Ehud Barak. For that reason,
he has been welcomed to Israel with
open arms dozens of times over the
past two decades.
-
- And who distributes
his largesse, but Michal Herzog?
-
- Just to give a fine example of
how tainted money is used
to taint Israel's democracy...The Movement
For Quality Government is supposedly
a grassroots organization fighting
government corruption. Two weeks ago
the country's most widely
circulated newspaper Yediot Ahronot published
an expose. It turns out
that a major contributor to this Movement is Marc
Rich, which may well
explain why Barak, despite claims to the contrary,
seems immune from
its wrath and why it refuses to use its influence to
investigate the
truth of the Rabin murder.
-
- Yitzhak Again
-
- It has been a year
since the State Comptroller released
its report on election campaign
felonies. Next week, it will issue a new
report detailing the crimes of
the Likud and opposition parties. But not
a word about Labor will be
written because the Clinton administration is
not allowing Israel
Police to investigate in America and because Yoel Herzog
is protecting
Barak by keeping his mouth shut.
-
- Of course, if Israel's Justice
Ministry stepped in, it
could force Herzog to sing with a series of
stinging indictments. But the
country's Justice Minister, Yossi Beilin
is not only a founding father
of the Oslo "peace" process who
would share a cell with Herzog
if the full truth about his diplomacy
emerged, he is being kept under close
control by the widespread
knowledge of his office peccadillos with a male
employee.
-
- Meanwhile Israel is
ablaze and Yoel Herzog's boss Ehud
Barak is looking for new ways to
reopen the "peace" process his
equally crooked Labor
predecessors handed him.
