Politics and Bedfellows An Age Old Story Told Once Again

 

We do not know what to make of the gossip being circulated about

likely 2008

Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton these days.

It seems

strange that material which appears to be damaging about her would

surface over

two years before the 2008 Presidential Election. Yet such material

is surfacing

all over the place these days. Perhaps it is relevant to her current

campaign

for re-election to the US Senate in New York State where up until

recently she

had been viewed as an odds on favorite to win re-election by a wide

margin.

 

That, however, was before the arab terrorist threats against The

Pope began.

 

" Mujahideen's Army threatens Pope with suicide attack

George Conger and JPost staff, THE JERUSALEM POST Sep. 16, 2006

As security was beefed up around Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday

night, the Mujahideen's Army movement in Iraq threatened to carry

out a suicide attack against the Pope in revenge for his comments

about Islam and jihad....Churches attacked in Gaza,(and in Judea and

Samaria)...On a website used by rebel movements in Iraq, a message

posted by the

Mujahideen's Army said members of the organization would " smash the

crosses in

the house of the dog from Rome. " European religious and political

leaders have

backed the Pope in the wake of the Muslim protests over his academic

lecture at

Regensburg University Tuesday... "

 

New York State is heavily Roman Catholic, as are many key states in

Presidential

Electoral Politics, and in the 2006 race, where key US Senate races

in New York

State, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,Connecticut and Rhode Island, and

elsewhere,

might easily be swayed by a shift in Roman Catholic voters away from

Democrats,

who are widely viewed to be appeasers of arab terrorists, if not

allies of arab

terrorists, towards Republicans, who are widely viewed as protectors

of America

and the rest of the civilized world from the threat of arab

terrorism.

 

 

Though the name Arthur Turco is known to few Americans today, if the

allegations

about his romantic and political relationship with Hillary Rodham

Clinton in

1969 when Hillary was at Yale turn out to be true Arthur Turco's

name might

become as much a household word as Monica Lewinsky's name was in the

late 1990s.

 

Unlike Monica Lewinsky however, Arthur Turco in 1969 was no starry

eyed 20

something intern being sexually used and abused by the most charming

President

of the United States ever to hold that office.

 

Gerald Lefcourt, David Brothers, Abbie Hofmann, Dave Dellinger,

William

Kunstler, Jerry Rubin, and Arthur Turco can be seen at a Black

Panther Rally at

Federal Court, in a photo taken on March 22nd, 1969. Arthur Turco is

the clean

shaven white man in the dark glasses,wearing a tie with his hand in

the pocket

of his rain coat, standing behind bearded Jerry Rubin.

 

You can see the photo in which Turco appears at

KnowTheEnemy/

in the Birds of A Feather photo album at

http://ph.KnowTheEnemy/photos

 

Arthur Turco was the New York City based leader of a weird white

group called

THE PATRIOTS in 1969. THE PATRIOTS were allied with THE BLACK

PANTHERS and a

Puerto Rican group called THE YOUNG LORDS in something called THE

RAINBOW

COALITION. This was a different group from the Jesse Jackson related

Rainbow

Coalition group.

 

THE PATRIOTS operated relatively openly from an office in far uptown

Manhattan

but reputedly also used one or more covert " Safe House " style

apartments in the

CHELSEA section of Manhattan. Some of those " Safe House " style

apartments were

allegedly fortress like places,allegedly filled with heavy weapons

including

explosives, as well as handguns, and automatic weapons.

 

Some alleged background on Black Panther Party attorney and ally,

Arthur Turco

may be found at

 

http://www.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=11450

 

which describes Arthur Turco as the " Panthers' New York

lawyer,Arthur Turco. "

The article states that : " Caplan says he believes that the

Panthers' New York

lawyer, Arthur Turco, was the ringleader in the commission of this

crime. " He

was apparently in the house when the torture and the murder took

place and was

part of the conspiracy to kill and remove the body, "

 

Below is an example of a post which dates back to the Bill Clinton

era we found

describing some of the story.

 

" Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black

named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was a fellow Panther

suspected of

disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safely

immobilized

his'friends'tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring

boiling water

on him. When they

got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member Warren Kimbo

took Mr.Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body

was later

found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Conn.

 

Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these

Black Panthers. In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of

the killers

was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a

scholarship to

Harvard. He later became an assistant dean at Eastern Connecticut

State College.

Isn't that something? As a `60s radical you can pump a bullet into

someone's

head,and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an

assistant college dean! Only in America! Erica Huggins was the lady

who served

the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr.

Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a

California School Board.

 

 

How in the world do you think these killers got off so

easy? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who

came to the

defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to

shut down

Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black

Panthers

during their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill Lan

Lee. Mr.

Lee, or

Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a

member of a California School Board. He is now head of the U.S.

Justice

Department's Civil Rights Division.

 

O.K., so who was the other Panther defender?

 

Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is

this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean? No,

Neither! The

other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale

University

at the time. She is now known as The " smartest woman in the world. "

She is none

other

than...Hillary Rodham Clinton. "

 

We checked Hillary's official White House bio and found that:

 

" In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she served on the

Board of Editors of Yale Law Review and Social Action... "

source:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/hc42.html

We also dug up the 1997 piece below on Bill Lan Lee

 

" G.O.P Leader Says Nominee Will Be Halted November 10, 1997, Monday

By STEVEN A. HOLMES (New York Times) National Desk

Late Edition - Final, Section A, Page 22, Column 1,

Senator Orrin G Hatch, chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee, says

nomination

of Bill Lan Lee, President Clinton's choice for Assistant Attorney

General for

Civil Rights, is dead; nomination has run into opposition among

Republicans, who

accuse him of supporting racial quotas and affirmative action... "

 

Want to know something really scary? We do not know if there is any

truth to them at all, but allegations are beginning to resurface

concerning the

alleged connections, which may have begun in 1969, between Hillary

Rodham,while

she and her husband to be Bill Clinton were Yale students, and

something callled

THE RAINBOW COALITION, not the one associated with Jesse Jackson,

but another

one, which was composed of 3 allied groups: THE BLACK PANTHERS, a

Puerto Rican

group called THE YOUNG LORDS, and a bizarre Maoist " white " group

called THE

PATRIOTS.

 

 

The so-called RAINBOW COALITION was an alliance between ARTHUR

TURCO'S white

terrorist group THE PATRIOTS, and the original BLACK PANTHERS,(not

to be

confused with a group using that name today), and a Puerto Rican

group called

THE YOUNG LORDS in 1969 when Hillary and Bill Clinton were Yale

students.

 

 

A relatively covert alliance also existed between THE PATRIOTS and

heavily armed

international arab terrorists,including those controlled by

arafat,operating

even then in the United States,and elsewhere. In particular the

allegations

center around the alleged connections between Hillary Rodham and

Arthur Turco,

and others. Turco was the leader of THE PATRIOTS. THE PATRIOTS

members wore

dungaree " uniforms " including dungaree pants and dungaree jackets

and held

Maoist style " self-criticism sessions " .

 

 

THE PATRIOTS were allegedly heavily involved in drug use, which

included

" snorting " horse tranquilizer drugs, among other things, and

allegedly were

regular visitors to YALE.

 

They also allegedly regularly read responsively from Lin Piao's

radical book.

( " Encyclopedia of World Biography on Lin Piao

(1907-1971) was a Chinese Communist military commander and political

leader. His distinguished military career and loyalty to the

principles of Mao

Tse-tung were the basis for his rise to second position in the

Chinese Communist

leadership. He was involved in an unsuccessful coup d'etat in 1971. " )

 

 

We would like to know what, if anything, you have found about this

story? Is there any truth to it at all? We do not know.

 

Then there is the matter of the Balkan Wars of the 1990s. Famed

Jewish columnist

A.M.Rosenthal of THE NEW YORK TIMES called Bill Clinton, who he had

backed in

the 1992 Presidential race against then President George Herbert

Walker Bush,

BOMBER BILL because of Clinton's prosecution of the Balkan Wars of

the 1990s.

In those wars some 5,000 Serbian civilians were slaughtered in

Guernica like air

raids. Many of the same targets in Serbia that were bombed by the

Luftwaffe in

World War Two were bombed by the Luftwaffe in 1999.

 

Bill Clinton turned the US Airforce into AIR BIN LADEN, flying

missions against

Serbians who were fighting against Osama bin Laden's forces in the

Balkans.

 

Why would Bill Clinton, the former anti-war activist of the

1960s,who had

demonstrated against the Vietnam War,wage war against Serbia as

President of the

United States in the 1990s?

 

The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution limits Presidential terms

of office to

2 terms. Bill Clinton was elected to those 2 terms and served them.

His last

full year in office was 2000, the year his wife, Hillary Rodham

Clinton was

elected to the US Senate from New York State. He left office on

January 20th,

2001.

 

Many observers viewed the 2000 US Senate race in which she was

elected from New

York State as a stepping stone to the White House for Hillary Rodham

Clinton.

 

In New York State winning state wide Republican candidates need the

nomination

of the New York State Republican Party to be augmented by the

nominaton of the

New York State Conservative Party.

 

Winning statewide without BOTH nominations is not an easy thing for

any

Republican candidate in New York State.

 

The website of the New York State Conservative Party proudly

proclaims : " The

1994 elections were a breakthrough for the Conservative Party as we

provided the

margin of victory for Governor George E. Pataki with the 326,605

votes cast on

our line. "

source:

http://www.cpnys.org/history/history.html

 

In New York State the votes of candidates on for example the

Republican Party

line may be combined with votes for the same candidates received on

for example

the New York State Conservative Party line.

 

Thus winning the nomination of the New York State Conservative Party

is vital to

making a successful statewide run for office in New York State.

 

Things were not shaping up at all well for Rudy Guiliani, who was

the odds on

favorite for the Republican nomination for the US Senate race in

2000 against

Hillary Rodham Clinton.

 

 

" Giuliani at Fund-Raiser, but Not Conservative Party's

November 17, 1999, Wednesday

By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN (New York Times)Metropolitan Desk

Late Edition - Final, Section B, Page 5, Column 1

Mayor Rudolph W Giuliani attends Broadway fund-raiser for his

presumptive United

States Senate campaign, but he is left out of State Conservative

Party's annual

fall cocktail party—which may have even more important implications

for his

political future; Conservative Party chairman Michael R Long says

Giuliani was

not invited because he has not yet expressed interest in winning

party's

endorsement… "

 

To his credit then Governor George W. Bush did what he could to

pitch in to help

Rudy Guiliani.

 

" Bush Offers Giuliani Help On the Right

November 30, 1999, Tuesday

By ELISABETH BUMILLER (New York Times)Metropolitan Desk

Late Edition - Final, Section B, Page 1, Column 5,

New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, on his first political trip

since Hillary

Rodham Clinton announced her intention to run for United States

Senate, basks in

praise of political benefactor, Texas Governor George W. Bush.

Bush, at rally

in Austin, Texas, volunteers to help Giuliani win endorsement from

New York

State Conservative Party in his likely race against Hillary Clinton;

endorsement

has been held up over Giuliani's position on abortion rights; at

issue is

Giuliani's opposition to ban on what critics call `partial-birth'

abortions… "

 

The alleged Clinton master plan to win Hillary Rodham Clinton a seat

in the US

Senate from New York State as a vital stepping stone to the White

House was

built on a very simple proposition:

DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

 

Winning that seat in the Senate for Hillary in 2000 could

theoretically be

accomplished by assuring that the 2000 US Senate nominaton of the

New York

State Conservative Party did not go to the 2000 US Senate nominee of

the New

York State Republican Party.

 

But how could such a thing be accomplished? Who could be persuaded

to split the

right so that Hillary Rodham Clinton could be elected to the US

Senate from New

York State in 2000?

 

Ominously it was on May Day of 2000 that the following happened:

 

" Giuliani Gets A New Rival On the Right

May 1st, 2000, Monday

Former United States Congressman from Westchester County Joseph J

DioGuardi, in

move that could complicate Mayor Rudolph W Giuliani's campaign for

United States

Senate, says that he will seek support of Conservative, Right-to-

Life and

Independence Parties in campaign for Senate; repeatedly assails

Giuliani as

being out of step with Conservative-minded Republicans… "

 

Who was Former United States Congressman from Westchester County

Joseph J

DioGuardi, and how did he fit in to the alleged Clinton master plan

to win

Hillary Rodham Clinton a seat in the US Senate from New York State

as vital

stepping stone to the White House?

 

 

DioGuardi has been described by New York City's Village Voice

newspaper as :

" NEW YORK'S KOSOVO KINGPIN "

http://www.villagevoice.com/features/9915/vest.shtml

 

 

In 2000 DioGuardi was poised to give not-so-hilarious Hillary Rodham

Clinton a seat in the US Senate from New York by virtue of his own

campaign for that seat that would have split right-wing opposition to

Hillary, thus ensuring her election.

 

We opposed Ms.Clinton then,and we oppose her now.

Unlike Ms.Clinton who favors a so-called

" palestinian " state we are opposed to such an entity coming into

existence. We were also opposed to Clinton's anti-Serbian policy in

the Balkans.

There is more data

available on the so-called " palestinian " state issue:

DioGuardi hopes to run on the Conservative Party, Right-to-Life

Party was the name for the Reform Party in New York State which then

appeared likely to have Patrick J. Buchanan as its Presidential

standard bearer in the fall 2000 elections.

" Buchanan has consistently portrayed war criminals as

patriotic Americans, innocent victims of " revenge-obsessed Nazi

hunters " in Washington. Virtually everything the accused and their

defenders have said he accepts as truth, and, in the words of one

critic, he wages " journalistic guerilla warfare " on their behalf.

Says

Neal Sher, former director of the U.S. Justice Department's Office of

Special Investigations: " Buchanan went to bat for every Nazi war

criminal in America. " Liberty Lobby, the leading anti-Semitic and

racist organization in America, overwhelmingly endorsed Pat Buchanan

during the 1996 presidential primaries. An editorial in its

publication, The Spotlight, pointed out that " the 112 issues or

legislative positions that Liberty Lobby has taken over the past 40

years...shows that Pat Buchanan stands with us. " The predominant

issue

they share is Holocaust revisionism, the spearhead of the

international anti-Semitic movement. Buchanan used his syndicated

column and his office as communications director in the Reagan White

House from 1981-1987 to assist pro-Nazi Eastern European

organizations

in trying to block the denaturalization and deportation of Karl

Linnas, John Demjanjuk, and at least seventeen others who had been

charged by the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Special

Investigations or had been convicted in federal courts of concealing

war crimes in order to gain illegal entry into the U.S. The Karl

Linnas Case In 1981 the Federal District Court in Westbury, NY

stripped 67-year-old Karl Linnas of his citizenship for having lied

to

immigration officials thirty years earlier about his Nazi past.

Linnas's crimes, the judge said, " were such as to offend the decency

of any civilized society. " From 1941-43 Linnas had commanded a Nazi

concentration camp at Tartu, Estonia, where he directed and

personally

took part in the murder of thousands of men, women, and children who

were shot into anti-tank ditches. A 1986 federal appeals court upheld

his deportation order, ruling that the evidence against the defendant

was " overwhelming and largely uncontroverted. " Summarily rejecting

the

court's findings because evidence had been obtained from the Soviet

Union, Buchanan orchestrated a national media effort to exonerate

Linnas, demanding that his citizenship be reinstated. He championed

the Linnas cause in his syndicated newspaper column and TV program

" Crossfire, " and arranged for then U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese

III to meet with him and members of Eastern European organizations

who

hailed Linnas as a hero. On March 31, l987, Menachem Rosensaft,

founder of the International Network of Children of Holocaust

Survivors, wrote a New York Times Op-Ed piece calling for a

congressional investigation to determine whether any American

official

or functionary had intervened on Mr. Linnas's behalf. Buchanan

responded by saying it was the Office of Special Investigations that

needed to be investigated. " Let us get it all out in the open, " he

wrote, " nothing un-American can live in the sunlight. " Attorney

General Meese delayed the deportation of Linnas as long as possible,

all the while searching for a haven. After sixteen countries had

refused, Panama agreed to accept Linnas " on humanitarian grounds. "

News of the decision prompted Rosensaft and others to intercede with

Panamanian officials in Washington, who told them that their

government had not been informed of Linnas's wartime atrocities.

Panama withdrew its offer and issued a statement saying that " our

country and our Government reject and condemn the crimes committed by

fascists. " On April 20, 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear

a final appeal. At that point Meese was legally bound to comply with

the deportation order. Linnas was flown to the Soviet Union and three

months later died in a prison hospital while awaiting trial. "

The obvious question came to mind. Was the potential third party

DioGuardi 2000 Senate candidacy, which could have guaranteed Hillary

the US Senate seat from New York a " big payoff " for the Clintons for

the 1999 pro-Albanian Balkan war against Serbia which saw Kosovo

stolen from Serbia?

 

 

http://aacl.com/indexmain.html

is the url of a group which describes itself at that website as

" the Albanian American Civic League. The Civic League was founded

by former Congressman Joseph DioGuardi and a

board of Albanian Americans in 1989 as the only registered

lobby in Washington, DC, representing the concerns and

interests of the Albanian people.

 

Pay close attention to the phrase " living side by side in " found in

the quote below, and note how it has since been used by advocates of

a so-called Two State Solution, which envisages a so-

called " palestinian " state " living side by side in " so-

called " peace " with Israel.

 

 

In reality the so-called Two State

Solution is more like Hitler's infamous FINAL SOLUTION, as it is

really a Two Step or Two Stage plan, with the first step being get

Israel to hand over everything it will without total war, and then

wage total war against Israel from the land Israel hands over to

destroy the rest of Israel.

 

The self-described

 

" purpose of the Civic League is to further the human rights and the

national cause of the divided nation of more than seven million

Albanians living side by side in the Balkans in Albania, Kosova,

western Macedonia, southeastern Montenegro, Presheve, Medvegje,

Bujanovc (southern Serbia), and Chameria (northern Greece). By

bringing the political perspectives of 400,000 Albanian Americans to

the US Government, the civic League works to end the repression

and oppression of Albanians living under hostile Slavic Communist

regimes in the Balkans and to preserve the culture, identity and

human rights of Albanians throughout the world. "

 

 

While you are digesting that quote, which sounds to me to be more

than a bit like the propaganda sprouted by the nazis about the

so-called " Sudetenland "

and other places inhabited by Germans and others which used the

German population as a pretext for annexation and in some cases war

by Germany.

 

Saddam did the same thing when he move arabs into Kurdish sections

of so-called Iraq.

 

Syria has moved a million so-called " civilian " FIFTH COLUMNISTS into

Lebanon, a nation which numbers under four million people, not

counting those million Syrian FIFTH COLUMNISTS.

 

 

NATO bombed Belgrade TV repeatedly, after Belgrade TV

started to show the comedic film " Wag the Dog " which is about a US

President who starts an Albanian War while he is in the midst of a

sex scandal.

 

 

Ken Starr, where are you now that we really do need you? (Ken Starr

was the anti-Clinton prosecutor who got nowhere in his attempts to

oust Bill Clinton from the Presidency.)

 

 

Some more thoughts from a different source are quoted below:

VOICE OF THE GRUNT

SPECIAL REPORT

FROM BEN WORKS BUYING AN INTERVENTION:

KOSOVO AND ALBANIAN PAC MONEY IN CONGRESS By Benjamin Works,,

The Strategic Issues Research Institute Hack and I, along with a

select group of others, have been at war with the KLA over its heroin

and terrorist connections. We also knew something about how political

money bought this war policy. Here's the story. Back in 1995, late in

the Bosnian war, I got a reference to a 1986 Senate Resolution

proposed by Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, decrying Yugoslavian official

oppression of the Albanian population of Kosovo-that's 1986, when the

Albanian Autonomous government was still fully operational. Joseph

DioGuardi, a New York Republican, sponsored the companion House

Resolution, both of which never emerged from committee. I got a copy

of that Senate Resolution Nr. 150 from the Congressional Register of

June 19, 1986 and then let it sit in my file for a long time, while

the NATO occupation of Bosnia appeared to keep things calm.

Meanwhile, Bob Dole managed to lose the 1996 Presidential Election,

then vigorously supported Mr. Clinton's year-by-year extensions for

keeping some 6900 US soldiers in Bosnia.

 

 

As the KLA insurrection in

Kosovo reached civil war levels, I began to think about that

resolution and how it misrepresented history. I had done considerable

reading on the origins of the Yugoslav conflicts, pulling Washington

Post, New York Times and other reports from the 1980s, bearing on

Kosovo and the collapse of the Federative Republic's communist

government under the pressure of ethnic-nationalism.

 

Well, pieces fit together showing that all along it has been the

ethnic

nationalist fascist losers of World War II in Croatia, Bosnia and

Kosovo who

have been exploiting the political process in Germany and the United

States.

Their goal has been to effect the division of Yugoslavia and the

cleansing of

Serbian populations from their territories, while purporting

that " Greater

Serbia " was the menace to European security and not the post-

fascist " Greater

Croatia " and " Greater Albania. "

 

 

Survivors of the Croat Ustashe movement in southern Germany began

their work in the 1960s, but Joseph DioGuardi must be given credit

for a sustained campaign to influence Congress beginning in the

mid-1970s. DioGuardi, an Albanian American whose ancestors came from

an Albanian transplant community in the heel of Italy, sat in

Congress for several years in the mid-1980s as a Conservative

Republican from New York's Westchester County, but creating a

Greater Albania was his agenda as a map on his website shows

(www.aapac.com).

 

 

" His Political Action

Committee (PAC) activities are easy to follow from 1988 on. What

makes the PAC and individual contributions to campaigns more

interesting is the demonstrated connection between the Kosovo Heroin

Mafia, its " pizza connection " distribution ( " inherited " from the

Gambino crime family) and money-laundering networks, and the number

of pizzaria owner-contributors listed in DioGuardi's filings. The

Croats and Albanians came up with big pots of laundered money, then

spread it around selectively, with American politicians helping to

persuade other members in Congress.

 

 

I have indications of a political alliance between DioGuardi and Bob

Dole going as far back as the early 1970s, but have not yet got all

the evidence in hand. What I do have is sufficient to reach

tentative conclusions about how foreign policy, in a democracy, can

be " bought " -that is precisely what happened in the case of the

Kosovo Air War. In early 1987, kicking off his 1988 bid to wrest the

GOP nomination from then-vice president George Bush, Dole received

$1.2 million from Albanian American supporters in New York City,

while DioGuardi received $50,000 at the same dinner.

 

 

I expect the funding trail goes back further, at least to Dole's 1976

campaign.It certainly continued from 1987 through to the present.

 

As the collapse of Yugoslavia loomed, the Croatian and Albanian

lobbies continued their campaign:

 

Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy, Mar 31, 1993 issue,

reported as much as $50 million was larded around Capitol Hill in a

two-year period which saw the defeat of George Bush and led to Bob

Dole's control of the Republican party: The United States Congress,

still reeling from a series of financial scandals involving

representatives and senators, is now bracing for a new problem: the

massive financial " contributions " which have been made to election

funds of politicians by Croatian sources over the past two to three

years.

 

 

One Congressional investigator told Defense & Foreign Affairs

Strategic Policy that the donations and expenditures on Washington

lobbying by the Croatians over the past two years " could well exceed

$50-million. "

 

 

" Much of this came directly from Croatian lobbyists,

and some from Croatian American businessmen " Many of the campaign

contributions have been recorded legally, " the investigator said,

" but many are questionable. But what is more important is that there

has been a pervasive attempt to push the United States along a line

defined by foreign powers-Croatia and Germany-and it has not been

subtle. Elected officials are being told to either support the

Croatian line or face either a removal of funding or are told that

funding will be given to their opponents. Or they are literally

bribed into supporting the Croatian line.

 

 

 

This was going on long before Croatia even made its open bid for

recognition as an independent state. " Now, as to individual

contributions, there are campaign contribution limits on

individuals, then there are Political Action Committees

(PACs), " Soft Money " contributed to the parties and fed back to

candidates, and there is the time-honored

custom of passing bundles of hundred dollar bills in brown paper

bags to favored candidates. Federal Election Commission (FEC)

records are on-line (http://www.tray.com/fecinfo/)

and I have been able retrieve records for Joseph DioGuardi's PACs

going back to the 1988 election cycle, and have also tested Bob

Dole's 1996 Campaign and Liddy Dole's Campaign-2000.

 

 

It is all there in the lists of candidates and contributors. In

particular, most of the Congressmen speaking loudest against Serbia

and Serbs are those receiving money from DioGuardi's PAC. Some have

simply been beguiled,others may be more disingenuous.

 

 

Recipients come from both sides of the aisle but are mostly members

of the House or Senate foreign relations

committees...These records do not reveal monster sums of money, but

demonstrate the tip of the iceberg, where " soft money, " individual

declared contributions and bags full of $100 bills also find their

way to select candidates.

 

It is clear that Bob Dole and Joe DioGuardi, in league with Croat

and Bosnian fascist emigrees, worked very effectively to set up US

foreign policy to dismantle Yugoslavia and ruin the Serb people.

They have succeeded admirably because they were organized and

persistent, while their opponents were disorganized and, ultimately,

outnumbered by the overwhelming flood of media propaganda.

 

 

Now, the US taxpayer is on the hook for Billions of Dollars, while

our service

personnel will be tied down for years in Bosnia and Kosovo,again

attempting the

kind of nation building that failed so

spectacularly in Somalia and Haiti. For those wishing to inspect the

details of these fundraising, I have loaded the summary lists

compiled thus far at my website along with a companion reading file

" Congressman's Corruption Trial Opens with Bickering

Tuesday February 5th, 2002 By Jay Miller

CLEVELAND (Reuters) - The bribery and corruption trial of Ohio Rep.

James Traficant opened on Tuesday amid bickering and a warning from

the judge to the nine-term congressman to behave himself. "

 

" Ohio Congressman James Trafficant has been a vigorous Demjanjuk

supporter since the start of the trial in Israel. After Demjanjuk was

convicted of crimes against humanity. "

 

" July 17th, 2000 Jim Traficant is perhaps the most colorful Member

of Congress

of our time. He dresses in outrageous outfits and jokes that he is

the " fashion

leader of the House. " His hair always looks as if he just got out of

bed. During

his eight terms in Congress he has become famous for his one-minute

speeches on

the House floor, where he questions the wisdom and honesty of

government

policies. He nearly always ends up saying " beam me up, " a reference

to the old

Star Trek television series. "

 

" Traficant guilty of bribery, racketeering

April 12, 2002 Traficant spoke to reporters outside the courthouse.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (CNN) -- A jury found flamboyant U.S. Rep. James

Traficant

guilty of bribery and all other charges against him Thursday after a

two-month

federal racketeering and corruption trial.

The jury of 10 women and two men convicted the congressman on all

counts against

him, covering charges of taking bribes, filing false tax returns,

racketeering,

and forcing his aides to perform chores at his farm in Ohio and on

his houseboat

in Washington.

The verdict followed four days of deliberations. The nine-term

maverick Democrat

represented himself in court throughout the trial, even though he is

not an

attorney....

House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Missouri, issued a statement

saying a

member of Congress who breaks the law and commits bribery " strikes

at the heart

of representative government. " He advised Traficant to step down

from office.

" In light of the gravity of the charges outlined in the guilty

verdict against

Mr. Traficant, I think the prudent course of action would be an

immediate

resignation, " Gephardt said. …

In 1983, while a county sheriff, Traficant was brought up on federal

bribery

charges. During that trial, he also represented himself. That time,

however, he

was acquitted.

The trial was marked by periodic outbursts by Traficant, who railed

against

prosecutors and Wells.

Prosecutors accused him of accepting gifts and favors from several

businessmen

in his district, including a convicted felon, in return for

interceding on their

behalf with federal and state agencies.

He also was accused of using employees from his office to perform

work on his

farm and boat and requiring them to return a portion of their

salaries to him

each month. The government alleged that staffers baled hay,

maintained horse

stalls and performed other chores at Traficant's farm.

Other charges accused him of underreporting income on his tax

returns and asking

employees to destroy evidence and provide false testimony after he

became aware

he was being investigated. "

 

" Traficant Expelled – Sentenced

Rep. Traficant of Ohio expelled from House for ethics violations

Update:

07/30/02

Traficant Sentenced to 8 Years

Less than week after being expelled from the U.S. House of

Representatives,

former Congressman James Traficant of Ohio was sentenced today to

eight years in

federal prison for his April 11 conviction on charges of bribery,

corruption and

tax evasion.

At his sentencing hearing, Traficant argued that his expulsion from

Congress had

been punishment enough. Judge Lesley Wells of the U.S. District

Court in

Cleveland, disagreed, calling Traficant's expulsion a separate

political matter.

Judge Wells refused to set bail for Traficant, ordering that service

of his term

should begin immediately. Denial of bail also sets aside all pending

appeals to

Traficant's conviction. "

Bill Clinton turned the U.S. Air Force into

Air bin Laden, to support Osama bin Laden's terrorists on the

ground, who were allied with Al Queda type multinational terrorists

linked

historically to Iraq in the Balkan War of the 1990s.

Clinton waged against Serbian Christians, Jews.

Like the Mafia boss of all bosses he fancied himself to

be, as he watched videos of his favorite movie, " The Godfather " , and

its

sequels, Saddam used " cut-outs " to separate himself from his

international terrorism, so that he could maintain " plausible

deniability " . During the evil war against Serbia of the 1990s the

back-stabbing Saddam pretended to embrace the Serbian

cause, but secretly engaged in anti-Serbian terrorism in the Balkans.

" during the night of July 18th -19th ,1998 a group of several hundred

heavily armed foreign mercenaries

(mostly " mujahideens, " Islamic " holy

warriors " ) frontally attacked from Albania the Yugoslav Army border

guards near the Djeravici mountain. The attack was repulsed by the

Serbian troops, and the foreign assailants suffered heavy casualties.

Among the dead were six mercenaries from Yemen, five from Saudi

Arabia, four from Macedonia. A short while later, Yugoslav

authorities

arrested Nuri Salip Muhamed, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Iraqi Army

as

he was trying to enter Yugoslavia illegally from Bulgaria. This Iraqi

officer, who reportedly spoke perfect Serbian, was supposed to have

commanded the July 18th-19th, 1998 terrorist attack from Albania. But

lucky for him, he had not arrived there in time. "

Some 3,800 members are confined to Camp Ashraf, the MEK's main

compound near

of the

tanks,

armored vehicles, and heavy artillery….

External Aid

Before Operation Iraqi Freedom, the group received all of its

military

assistance, and most of its financial support, from the former Iraqi

" There were groups that were pretty scary, but if someone had

the money, he'd find a way to help them, " a former aide says. As both

congressman and senator, Torricelli has championed the cause of a

revolutionary Iranian group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), identified

by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization. Many

Iranian-born MEK sympathizers have given Torricelli money ($136,000,

according to one estimate), including $1,000 from Canada's chief MEK

organizer, who wrote her check to Torricelli from her new home in

Washington a week after an Ottawa court upheld her deportation,

according to The American Spectator. Torricelli, in turn, sponsored

several resolutions and letters supporting the group as a " democratic

alternative " to the Muslim fundamentalist regime and protesting U.S.

sanctions against it-the Mujahedin advocacy group in America, the

National Council of Resistance, was labeled an " alias for the MEK " by

the State Department and barred from receiving any funds to operate

on

U.S. soil. The State Department is on solid ground. Although it

portrays itself as a democratic grass-roots opposition, the MEK

killed

U.S. military attachés in the 1970s and called for restrictions on

Jewish businesses; its military wing is based in armed camps in Iraq,

backed by Saddam Hussein. In the past two years, it has openly

claimed

credit for the killing of three high-ranking members of the Iranian

government, according to congressional testimony by then-Assistant

Secretary of State Martin Indyk. Fears about Iranian terrorist-linked

donors even led Torricelli's staff to joke among themselves about who

would go outside to " start the car to see if it blows up, " a source

recalls.- Torricelli has also managed to appeal to organizations with

virulent anti-Semitic positions. In 1993, for instance, he was the

keynote speaker at a banquet co-sponsored by the United Association

for Studies and Research (UASR), an organization identified by

anti-terrorism experts and Israeli intelligence officials as the

political front for the Hamas terrorist group. Torricelli sat on the

dais next to Ahmed Bin Yousef, the head of UASR, who champions the

Hamas cause. When attacked for his appearance at the banquet during

his Senate campaign, Torricelli claimed in a news conference that he

didn't know that the UASR was a sponsor or that it was tied to Hamas.

Apparently he missed the front-page story in The New York Times

several months earlier that exposed its alleged terrorist

connections.

Torricelli is endlessly creative in trolling for support from ethnic

communities. He founded a congressional Pakistani caucus and told a

dinner hosted by a Pakistani-American PAC in 1996 exactly what they

wanted to hear: " Pakistan cannot be intimidated into accepting

nuclear

nonproliferation as was attempted by the U.S. Congress. "

 

 

Clinton raises money for Sen. Torricelli, ignores Lewinsky interview

March 4, 1999

Web posted at: 12:20 p.m. EST (1720 GMT)

NEWARK, New Jersey (AllPolitics, March 4) -- President Bill Clinton

attended a

fund-raiser Wednesday night for Sen. Robert Torricelli that raised

$2.15 million

for the New Jersey Democrat, officials said.

A spokesman said the $2.15 million that the $1,000-a-plate dinner

brought in was

the most ever raised in a single night for a member of Congress. The

fund-raiser

far exceeded earlier expectations of $1.2 million.

Torricelli proved to be a staunch supporter of the president

throughout his

Senate impeachment trial. In his speech, Clinton praised the

senator: " He has

been my friend in good times and bad and I will never forget it. "

The fund-raiser took place just before Monica Lewinsky's two-hour

interview on

ABC with Barbara Walters aired nationally.

Shirley A. Cloyes married Joseph DioGuardi in June 1998 according to

the

material about her excerpted from below in which she is described

as " Balkan

Affairs Adviser " to the Albanian American Civic League,whose

President is Joseph

DioGuardi, which states that : " In 1983, she coauthored a book

entitled To Work

and To Love with German political theologian Dorothee Soelle and

joined the

staff of The Seabury Press as an editor. Following the closure of

the house in

1984, she became marketing director and editorial consultant in

Black and

women's studies at Orbis Books.

 

In 1986, she joined the staff of Lawrence Hill & Company, an

offshoot of the

breakup of Hill & Wang, as associate publisher. The press

specialized in African

American and African studies, the Middle East, women's studies, and

controversial domestic and international political issues. When

Larry Hill died

in 1988, she took over the house and was its publisher until the end

of 1995.

Some of the noteworthy titles that she published are The Politics of

Heroin: CIA

Complicity in the Global Drug Trade by Alfred W. McCoy, Assata: An

Autobiography

by Assata Shakur, Ghosts in Our Blood: With Malcolm X in Africa,

England, and

the Caribbean by Jan Carew, My Friend, the Enemy by Uri Avnery, and

M.I.A. or

Mythmaking in America by H. Bruce Franklin.

 

In 1995, she published Yugoslavia's Ethnic Nightmare, the first book

on the

causes and far-reaching consequences of the Balkan conflict written

from the

perspective of Bosnian Muslim, Croatian, Serbian, and Macedonian

journalists who

opposed the war inside the former Yugoslavia. That year she became

the Balkan

Affairs Adviser to the Albanian American Civic League. She has since

written and

lectured widely about the Albanian dimension of the Balkan conflict

and made

eight trips to the region.

 

Cloyes proposed the first Congressional hearing on the Albanian

dimension of the

Balkan conflict. Following the hearing in February 1995, which

included

representatives from

all the Albanian lands in the former Yugoslavia, she and Civic

League President

Joseph DioGuardi traveled with Yugoslav dissident Mihaljo Mihaljov

to Macedonia

at the invitation of Albanian leaders there to monitor the reopening

of the

Albanian-language University of Tetova. The Macedonian government

attacked the

university on the morning of their departure, killing a student,

wounding

hundreds, and jailing the professors. In September of that year, she

traveled to

Tirana with DioGuardi and Congressman Benjamin Gilman, chair of the

House

Committee on International

Relations, to meet with then President Sali Berisha and to Istanbul

to make the

case for the

the independence of Kosova at the National Press center and at the

University of

Marmara.

 

Cloyes has testified before Congress at two historic turning points

in the life

of the Albanian nation. In July 1996, she testified on behalf of the

State of

Albania before the House Committee on International Relations and

exposed the

role of Nicholas Gage of the Panepirotic Federation and the Albanian

Communists

in attempting to overthrow the democratically elected government of

Sali

Berisha. In 1998, she testified in support of U.S. troop deployment

in Kosova,

following Bob Dole, Jean Kirkpatrick, and Henry Kissinger.

 

In February 1998, after the Serbian army attacked Drenice, Cloyes

worked with

CNN to gain more complete coverage of the crisis in Kosova. In

March, she and

DioGuardi shifted the focus of a Congressional hearing with U.S.

Balkan envoy

Robert Gelbard from Bosnia to Kosova, and positioned the questions

that forced

Gelbard to retract his earlier depiction of the KLA as a " terrorist "

organization. In August of that year, she published two major

articles on U.S.

foreign policy in the Balkans: " The Agony of Kosova " and " Presiding

over

Genocide: The Shame of the West. " Cloyes is the author of the Civic

League's

October 1999 public declaration, entitled " Resolving the Albanian

National

Question, " which examines the internal and external factors that

stand in the

way of creating a free and independent Kosova and bringing a just

and lasting

peace to the Balkans.

 

With the start of the NATO bombing campaign against Serbia in March

1999, Cloyes

and DioGuardi appeared separately and together on more than 50 radio

and TV

broadcasts. Since the war ended in June 1999, they have made three

trips to

Kosova to report back to Congress on postwar conditions.

 

Cloyes and DioGuardi were married in June 1998. "

They stopped

JoAnne Chesimard, was a member of the Black Liberation Army. She

suddenly pulled

out a semi-automatic pistol and opened fire. Trooper Foerster was

wasn't going

to let the law stop her. On November 2, 1979, Chesimard escaped from

prison with

the help of a domestic terrorist group. In the early 1980's, she

resurfaced in

Cuba under the protection of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro.

 

The Fight For Justice Continues

the

" 30 Years in the Making—Justice at Last for Slain Officer

 

In the early hours of 3 November 1971, a young Atlanta police

officer by the

name of Jimmy Greene was ambushed and killed as he sat in his patrol

wagon

eating his late-night supper. On 13 October 2003—some 32 years later—

the man

responsible was found guilty of his murder in Fulton County Superior

Court.

 

 

Freddie Hilton (51) was convicted of murder in the long-ago death of

Jimmy

Greene in a case prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Al Dixon,

Senior

Assistant District Attorney Michele McCutcheon, and Senior Assistant

District

Attorney Peggy Katz. Atlanta Police Detective Jimmy Rose and Senior

Investigator

M.C. Cox of the District Attorney's Office investigated the case.

Judge

Stephanie Manis will sentence Hilton on 10 November, and he faces a

possible

double life sentence in prison.

 

 

At the time of the murder, Hilton was a member of an organization

known as the

" Black Liberation Army, " a militant group infamous for attacks on law

enforcement officers in New York City and across the country. A

handful of the

group's members had come to Atlanta after breaking away from the

Black Panther

Party in the early 1970s. Hilton was among these.

 

 

Officer Greene, engaged to be married and the father of one infant

daughter, was

sitting in his vehicle at a gas station at the intersection of

Memorial Drive

and Boulevard when he was approached by Hilton and his now-dead co-

conspirator

Twyman Meyers. Hilton shot Officer Greene three times at close

range, stole his

revolver and badge, and fled the scene. A witness saw Greene slumped

over in the

front seat and soon realized he had been shot. Greene died two hours

later.

 

 

Several other former BLA members testified at the trial that Hilton

and Meyers

returned to the group's residence where the pair bragged of the

killing.

 

 

Shortly after the incident, Atlanta police found a witness who said

he heard

Hilton confess to the killing, but then-District Attorney Lewis

Slaton felt

there was not enough evidence to bring formal charges. So the story

ended

there…or so it seemed.

 

 

In early 2001, Detective Rose received a call from New York City

Police

Detective Chris Karolkowski who had come across Hilton as a suspect

in a child

molestation case and soon discovered that he had been the prime

suspect in

Greene's murder. Rose soon re-opened the case, and, with the help of

Investigator Cox, a Grand Jury indicted Hilton for the murder in

July of last

year. (Incidentally, Rose and Cox received the National Association

of Police

Organizations' highest honor last year for their work on the case.)

Hilton, who

had changed his name to Kamau Sadiki and was now working in

telecommunications

in New York, was brought back to Atlanta to face trial.

 

 

Aside from justice for Officer Greene, perhaps the most positive

aspect of this

painful incident was the re-uniting of Greene's long-estranged

daughter Melody

Adams (now 34) of North Carolina with aunts and uncles she had never

known.

Hearing about the trial in the news, Adams traveled to Atlanta to

sit in on the

trial and soon revealed her identity to other family members in

attendance. A

family long-separated by a brutal crime was now re-united. "

The Albanian Connection; As Italians Move Up, a New Group Does the

Pizza and Pasta source: THE NEW YORK TIMES

More information. April 3, 2001, Tuesday

By DEXTER FILKINS (NYT); Metropolitan Desk

Late Edition - Final, Section B, Page 1, Column 2,

DISPLAYING ABSTRACT - Americans becoming owners of Italian-American

restaurants and pizza parlors in New York City and surrounding area;

various reasons cited "

 

Hillary Clinton has long masqueraded as a champion of women's

rights, yet the

Balkan Wars perpetrated by her husband Bill Clinton , far from

helping the

rights of women, actually harmed women.

" Sex Slaves: Trafficking in human beings from Moldova to Italy

…the West has helped to create the demand, by stationing tens of

thousands of

troops in the Balkans. Not all of these sex slaves' clients are

soldiers and

international workers, but their presence has greatly fuelled the

demand for

brothels in the Balkans. Certainly, the volume of trafficking,

which picked up

in the spring of 1999 as soon as Nato troops arrived in Macedonia in

anticipation of military strikes against Yugoslavia [1], has greatly

increased

since the Kosovo war. Finally, the West has helped to create the

link between

the supply and the demand by supporting, in the Kosovo war, the very

Albanian

Mafia which now controls this market. The fact that there is so

much reporting

now on the matter of sex slaves may be an indication that the powers

that be in

the West are beginning to ditch those whom they portrayed during the

spring of

1999 as passive and innocent victims….

 

It is clear that the Albanian Mafia controls prostitution in Italy,

and that a

very large number of prostitutes there are effectively slaves.

Although not all

the girls in Italy are from Moldova – many come from Nigeria and

Albania – it

has been affirmed by one of the leading authorities on prostitution

that they

are kept in captivity. " All the women currently on the streets (of

Italy) are

slaves. The proof is that the Nigerians, the Albanians, the

Romanians and the

women from Eastern European countries all have their passports taken

away by

their pimps. There is not one metre of street in which prostitution

is not

controlled by criminals, " according to Don Oreste Benzi, a priest in

Verona who

has founded a charity which works with prostitutes. Benzi goes

on, " The

Albanians operate in family clans, in `joint ventures' with the

Mafia in Eastern

Europe and Italy. No new pimp can start operating in Italy without

paying a

percentage to the person who already controls the territory. Any

mistakes are

punished by death. For the Albanians, vendetta is second nature:

the concept

of forgiveness does not exist. " [7] According to Benzi's charity, the

Association of the Community of Pope John XXIII, 48% of the

prostitutes in Italy

are from Eastern Europe; 35%-40% are minors (from 12 to 18 years

old); and 26%

have been kidnapped and taken from their countries of origin by

force.[8]

Hillary Clinton has also masqueraded as someone concerned about

Children's

Rights. Once again, the Balkan Wars perpetrated by her husband Bill

Clinton

actually harmed children too.

" Sexual exploitation of children

An especially appalling aspect of the trade in human beings is the

sexual

exploitation of children. BHHRG representatives interviewed Mariana

Petersel,

the Director of Save the Children in Moldova, whose organisation has

started to

house and rehabilitate young women and girls who have been forced

into sex

slavery. The youngest victim with which they have dealt was nine

years old.

260 victims of sex slavery have been housed and helped by Save the

Children

during 2000. They had been in various Balkans countries: Kosovo,

Albania,

Italy's sexual slave trade

 

 

Many prostitutes in Italy come from Albania

In the first of two special reports, the BBC's Brian Barron

investigates Italy's

clandestine trade in sexual slaves and the Albanian criminals behind

the

business.

It is estimated that there could be more than 40,000 foreign

prostitutes on the

streets of Italy - and the numbers are increasing.

The streetwalkers venture out every night after 10, on the edge of

big cities

like Rome.

Each trip was awful but that was my choice. If I returned to

Albania I was

dead.

Prostitute

In the Eor district, they are Albanian or from other former

communist countries.

Most are controlled by Albanian mafia gangsters. A handful have

travelled to

Italy through their own efforts.

One streetwalker whose identity must be kept secret recalls her

particular

journey.

" I came by boat, " she says.

" I was smuggled in. I had tried four times. It was a horrible trip. "

" It was winter, cold and raining. It was a terrible risk. I saw dead

people with

my own eyes. "

" Each trip was awful but that was my choice. If I returned to

Albania I was

dead. "

" Dead or alive - this was my only choice. "

Tarantelli: Women are held in slavery

The former Italian MP, Carol Bebbe Tarantelli, says that the women

are slaves.

" They are brought here, " she says.

" Their passports are destroyed often, usually as a matter of fact

they are

tortured to break their wills. "

" They're moved around from place to place so they don't know where

they are.

They don't speak the language. "

" They're terrified and they can't escape. They're held in slavery. "

Poverty

 

For many of the girls, the journey began in their Albanian homeland.

In Durres, most people are out of work, surviving on remittances

from relatives

abroad, like the girls on the streets of Italy.

In its poverty and human desperation it is typical of countless

Albanian

communities.

Once Albania was an all-powerful communist police state. It is now a

country

beyond the rule of law.

The police chief of Durres, Colonel Albert Pilo, is having a

difficult time

stamping out the smuggling of young girls.

Durres: Lawlessness and poverty prevail

" We have had some success against traffickers in prostitutes, " he

says.

" We've arrested at least three. But a big problem is what to do with

the girls

caught up in the system, especially if they come from outside

Albania. "

" The fact is we do not have any organisation for helping them. "

" At times we've had to keep the girls in prison because there's

nowhere for them

to go. "

Dramatic pictures, taken two years ago, show one of the speedboats

of the

Albanian mafia being intercepted by Italian security forces.

An Albanian mafia speedboat with its human cargo heads for Italy

It was trying to land a batch of illegal immigrants on Italy's

Adriatic coast.

Boxes of drugs were thrown overboard as the gangsters, travelling at

60 miles an

hour, evaded the helicopters and ships trying to encircle them.

On the coast at Lecce, the Italian Justice Ministry, working with a

Catholic

charity, has launched another kind of assault on the Albanian mafia.

In one camp for illegal immigrants, Father Cesari helps run a

witness protection

programme for former prostitutes from Albania and Eastern Europe.

Hope for some of the women in the witness protection programme

" The choice of denouncing their pimps is an act of responsibility, "

he says.

" It's not an easy decision to make. So these girls must have the

courage to do

it.

" To cut all ties with the past. By pointing the finger at those who

abuse them

there is the chance that some of the guilty will be brought to

justice. "

Eighty girls have collaborated. They have been rewarded with the

right to remain

in Italy and, when necessary, new identities.

However, 500 declined because they were afraid of the godfathers.

The notorious Mafioso Johnny Dio is described here. Actor Frank

Pellegrino

played Johnny DioGuardi in Martin Scorcese's 1990 film GOODFELLAS.

Was Johnny

DioGuardi a relative of Joe DioGuardi? We would like to know. If you

know please

post your materials and sources for them.

 

Joseph J. DioGuardi was born in the Bronx, New York, on September

20th, 1940.

 

Johnny DioGuardi was born in East Harlem on April 28th, 1914.

 

Johnny Dio, a.k.a. Johnny DioGuardi was not Jewish by any stretch of

the

imagination. DioGuardi specialized, among other things, in

victimizing Jews.

DioGuardi victimized some Jews directly and victimized other Jews

less

directly, as they became unwitting customers. The article below

notes that " A

salesman for the company testified in 1969 that often the meat they

delivered to

retailers was " sometimes light green and sweaty and often was an

atrocity to

perpetrate on our customers. "

 

 

 

 

" On November 14th, 1964, two NYPD detectives sat in a basement in

Queens, New

York, listening to a tape recording of the conversations coming out

of a bug—a

tiny wireless microphone and radio transmitter hidden in the office

of Norman

LoKietz, president of the Merkel Meat Company. They were listening

to evidence

that illustrated with chilling clarity that the Mafia controlled an

industry

that robbed the public of more than just its money. It was also

stealing its

health and safety. In the taped conversations, the name " Johnny Dio "

kept

cropping up. The cops knew who he was.

 

 

 

Dio's photograph, with a cigarette dangling from one corner of a

viscous snarl

as he slugged a United Press photographer outside a Senate committee

hearing

room, appeared on front pages of newspapers all over the country,

because it so

perfectly matched the average person's preconception of what a Mafia

thug should

look like.

 

 

As the police developed their investigation into the Merkel Meat

Company and the

links with Dio, aka Johnny Dioguardi, it became increasingly obvious

that the

Lucchese crime family was earning big money from its involvement in

the movement

of substandard and, at times actually rotten meat, that was being

sold into the

retail marketplace.

 

 

Dioguardi was a master fixer and controller of locals and unions

and, through

this influence, was able to manipulate opportunities for himself and

the

Lucchese family in a wide range of areas.

 

 

The Nassau DA William Cahn illustrated Dioguardi's association with

one

particular company that showed his ability to corrupt and control.

 

In 1963, he joined Consumer Kosher Productions as a salesman on a

salary of $250

a week. By 1966, he was earning $5000 per week, and in addition had

taken over

control of the business. He used this company as a vehicle to gain

control of

the low price kosher meat business. Essentially his method was to

take over an

organization, buy in supplies and create an extended line of credit,

never pay

his debtors, and when the business went bust, move on to the next

one.A salesman

for the company testified in 1969 that often the meat they delivered

to

retailers was " sometimes light green and sweaty and often was an

atrocity to

perpetrate on our customers. " Consumer Kosher Productions eventually

went

bankrupt, and Dioguardi shifted what remaining assets there were to

another

company called Tel Aviv. That company also went belly-up in due

course and he

then set up a firm called First National Kosher Provisions. And so

it went on.

Eventually the law caught up with him and he was indicted, and in

1967 was

sentenced to five years in prison and fined $10,000. By this time,

Dioguardi had

been connected to the Lucchese family for over thirty years.

Johnny Dio under arrest(AP)

 

Johnny Dio was born in East Harlem on April 28th, 1914. He grew up

on Forsythe

Street in Little Italy where his father Dominick owned a bicycle

shop there. By

1930, he was already at age fifteen an apprentice young hood. After

a year and a

half at Stuyvesant High School, he left to begin work. Through the

influence of

his uncle, James " Jimmy Doyle " Plumeri, a prize fighter, racketeer

and upcoming

soldier in the Gagliano family, he became a leg-breaker and budding

extortionist

working the Garment Center. He was also, as legend has it, one of

the gangsters involved in the so called " Murder Inc. " group

that worked

out of Brownsville, East New York, in the 1930's carrying out

murders….Darkly handsome—so dark that he

was called

" Blackie " as a young street punk—wearing $250 silk suits and a

pleasant smile,

well dressed, well barbered and well manicured, he was always

careful to give

the appearance of an urbane and successful businessman.In 1935,

Thomas Dewey,

the crusading New York DA, listed Dioguardi as among the most

dangerous hoods in

the city. And all this before he was twenty-one years old! In 1937

he got a

three-to-five year sentence at Sing-Sing after being convicted with

his uncle

and several other mobsters for extortion and assault. They had been

extracting

$5000 from every trucker in the garment district, plus demanding a

premium on

every suit and coat made in the area.In 1944, he was indicted for

operating an

illegal still, but the charge was dismissed.In 1954, he was tried

and convicted

for failure to pay state income tax in connection with his continued

shakedown

of operators in the garment district. For that, he got sixty days.In

November

1957, he went on trial with some Teamster officials for shaking down

owners of

stationery stores. After a four week trial, he was convicted and

sentenced to

two years in jail.By the time he was forty, he was a " made man " in

the Gagliano

family which was now referred to as the Lucchese family, operating

as a capo, or

crew chief, and he was a multi-millionaire. He was highly regarded

in the family

as a " ferocious earner " the highest accolade that can be bestowed on

a member of

organized crime, generating in excess of $100,000 each week. He was

so rich, his

standard Christmas present to his wife was a shoe box stuffed with

$50,000 and a

sweet little note such as " buy yourself some nice clothes,

honey. " He lived in

great style, wining and dining at the best hotels and restaurants in

town, but

always reserved Sundays to meet with family and friends, and prepare

lunch or

dinner. Like so many mobsters of Italian-American extraction, he was

an

excellent cook, and loved to entertain at his beautiful and lavish

home in

Freeport Avenue, Point Lookout, Long Island, which he had purchased

for $75,000

in the early 1960's. His legitimate business fronts which

contributed to his

significant tax returns each year, included many highly profitable

clothing

factories, and also Jard Products at 260 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan,

which sold

promotional items to commercial establishments. One of their major

customers was

the retail chain Waldbaums.His skill as a union manipulator was

legendary in the

Mob, and on one occasion, Thomas Lucchese arranged for him to travel

to Los

Angeles to help out an old friend, Jack Dragna, the boss of the L.A.

Mafia

family. The ILGWU was trying to drive out non-union, cheap Mexican

labour from

Dragna's factories, but Dioguardi's expertise secured waivers on

every important

stipulation set up and foiled the union's attempt.In the 1950's,

Senate

investigations named Dioguardi as one of the masterminds that

manipulated the

unions operating out of Idlewild, the vast 5,000 acre international

airport that

would one day be called Kennedy.When Jimmy Hoffa was making his play

to become

president of the giant Teamsters Union in 1957, he turned to an old

friend,

Johnny Dio for help. It wasn't clear whether or not the majority of

the New York

area locals supported Hoffa, and this was necessary to swing enough

voters to

support his control of the mid western region, secured through the

Chicago Mob's

help. The solution was to create more locals: enough to establish a

majority.

This was done by setting up " paper " locals—locals with few if any

members—that

could swing the balance in the New York voting.Dioguardi engineered

the creation

of seven new Teamster unions. The extra supply of delegates from

these

guaranteed Hoffa control of the New York delegation of the Teamsters

convention.

These seven locals were basically sham fronts, composed not of

working people,

but friends and relatives of Johnny Dio. Hoffa won the

nomination.With hindsight

it was probably the start of Hoffa's imbroglio with the Justice

Department,

resulting in his war with Robert Kennedy, his indictment, trial and

imprisonment

in 1967, release in 1971 and the events that led up to the fateful

rendezvous on

July 30th, 1975, at the Manchus Red Fox Restaurant in Detroit. He

went there to

meet up with three men. It was a rendezvous from which he never

returned,

vanishing off the face of the earth; murdered probably by Salvatore

Briguglio, a

man connected to the Genovese crime family. Hoffa became a ghostly

testator who

haunts the Teamsters trust to this day.John Dioguardi was

undoubtedly one of the

most powerful members of the Lucchese crime family. His influence

was felt in

many areas, particularly those relating to labor. He is remembered

however, more

than anything, for one especially terrible act.In the early hours of

Thursday

April 5th, 1956, a nationally known newspaper columnist and

commentator on labor

affairs called Victor Riesel made a radio broadcast in New York. The

41-year-old

Riesel was a crusading journalist, specializing in investigating

union

corruption and Mob-influenced officials. Writing for the Daily

Mirror, his

column was syndicated in 193 newspapers. This night, he interviewed

two workers

from Local 138 of the International Operating Engineers Union out of

Long

Island. Run by father and son both called William DeKoning, they and

their local

were involved in shaking down contractors and were under

investigation by

Manhattan US attorneys.After the broadcast, Reisel and his

secretary, Betty

Nevins, went to Lindy's restaurant at Broadway and 51st Street for a

late

supper. At 3 a.m. as they were walking to Nevins' car, a man

approached them and

threw sulphuric acid into Riesel's face. Rushed to St. Clare's

Hospital,

surgeons were unable to save his eyesight.

Victor Reisel

A federal investigation established the attacker was a twenty-two-

year-old hood

and longshoreman called Abraham Tevi. He had been hired by one Joe

Carlino and

paid $1,175 to do the job. The money had apparently been put up by

Dioguardi. As

publicity mounted, Tevi became convinced that he had been grossly

underpaid to

carry out a piece of work on such an important person and demanded

$50,000. What

he got instead was two bullets in the head, and his body was found

on July 28th,

lying on Mulberry Street, in Manhattan's Little Italy district.

Although some

people were tried and convicted of the attack on Reisel, the two

prime witnesses

against Dioguardi, Gondolfo Miranti and Domenico Bondo, backed off,

and all

charges against Johnny Dio were dropped in May, 1957.

The assault on Victor Reisel brought a lot of pressure down on

Johnny Dio. The

very action that was aimed at removing a source of irritation,

resulted in far

more damage to his activities that could possibly have occurred had

the assault

not taken place.Despite all the other criminal acts that he was

involved in or

convicted of, Dioguardi is still best known as " the man who blinded

Victor

Reisel. " That reputation more than anything else guaranteed that the

police, FBI

and the media would never stop hounding him, and as a result, he

would

eventually spend the rest of his prime years in prison for other

crimes he

committed.Dioguardi always on the lookout for new rackets,

discovered the boom

in fly-by-night stock promotions in the late 1960's. Stock would be

acquired

from a failing company for little or no money; the market would be

rigged in the

stock through a brokerage firm he operated called J.M. Kelsey & Co.

then the

shares would be sold at vastly inflated prices—leaving the investors

to hold the

bag when the fraud was eventually exposed. However fate and the law

finally

caught up with Johnny Dio and, in 1970, he, along with his immediate

boss in the

Lucchese crime family Carmine Tramunti, were indicted on fraud

charges

concerning stocks in two firms, Belmont Franchising Corp. and

At-Your-Service-Leasing Co.He was tried and convicted in December

1973, and

sentenced to a further prison sentence, concurrent to the one he was

already

serving at Danbury Prison in connection with one of his kosher meat

company

scams. Due for parole in August 1979, he died in a prison hospital

the same

year.

Johnny Dio going to prison one last time

Johnny Dioguardi was a good example of the consummate mafioso. He

started young

at fifteen and had a perfect introduction into the world of crime

through the

guidance and help of his uncle. He combined thuggery, cunning, guile

and polish

in an enviable mixture. He made the right kind of connections from

an early age.

Jimmy Hoffa for instance, was a boyhood friend, and Dioguardi used

these

contacts throughout his career as a means of levering his scams and

extortion's

into huge, money-spinning ventures for himself and his crime family.

Like many

criminals, he obviously had the brains and ability to have succeeded

in

legitimate business, had he been that way inclined. The highest

earners in the

Mob work longer hours than any Fortune Top 50 C.E.O.s. Even the

lowest soldiers

will routinely put in eighty hour weeks, seven days to keep on top

of their

scheming and scamming.

When he died in a Pennsylvania prison hospital, his passing

attracted no

newspaper attention. All his wealth and power and almost fifty years

of criminal

depravity seemed to count for nothing at all. It was as though he

had never

existed. "

" February 2001In The Money: Congressman James Traficant And His

Campaign

ContributorsBy James Ridgway de Szigethy

Convicted associates of the Pittsburgh Mafia Family, Mafia-

corrupted labor

Unions and Middle Eastern political operatives are among those who

have

contributed to the past two re-election campaigns of Congressman

James

Traficant, an analysis of Federal Election Commission records

reveals. These

records, which are required filings under Federal Election law,

reveal 219

donations by individuals and 212 donations by Unions and Political

Action

Committees. 47 of the personal contributions came from outside the

State of

Ohio, with 35 of those from the State of Virginia. 38 are from

individuals that

indicate a Middle Eastern background of the contributor. Among

the

contributors whose names would probably be recognized by most

Youngstown

residents are Ed Flask, Mark Colucci, David Sugar, Anthony Saadey,

Russell

Saadey, Jr., Sam Traficanti, and fireworks businessmen Bruce Zoldan

and Gerald

Bostocky. Among the contributors whose names would probably NOT

be

recognized by most Youngstown residents are Virginia residents Ali

Asghar

Abbaszadeh, Reza Bulochi, Massud Mirmohammaoi, Ramesh Sepehrrad, and

Javad

Vaziri, Samir Mohammad, Ammar Shafai, and Homayoun Nasser Sharif,

Georgia

resident Hossein Shamsai, Massachusetts residents Mahaz Nasseri and

Hessein

Sadeghpour, Kansas City's Sajadi Sacid, Maryland's Cyrus Samet and

Mahmoud

Tabassi, and San Diego's Mohammad Bigdeli. Russell Saadey Jr.,

a former

investigator for the District Attorney's office in Youngstown, was

indicted last

December on charges he bribed Judges to fix Court cases. Ed

Flask accepted

a plea bargain last year in which he pleaded guilty to felony

charges in regards

to his rip-off of nearly $2 million while running the public water

utility in

Youngstown. Flask first received notoriety during the 1983 Federal

bribery trial

of then-Sheriff James Traficant, when it was revealed that Cleveland

Mafia

associate Charlie " The Crab " Carabbia had secretly tape recorded

Traficant

bragging about how he laundered through Flask's law office part of

the $163,000

in bribe money he accepted from the Mafia. Those same tapes revealed

that

Carabbia was blackmailing Flask with " compromising photographs of

Flask which

would ensure his silence! " Just days later, Carabbia was abducted

and murdered.

B & T Express employee Sam Traficanti was present during some of the

secret tape

-recorded meetings between the Carabbia brothers and Sheriff-elect

Traficant,

but was not charged. Two of Traficanti's fellow employees at B & T

Express also

donated to Traficant's campaign records show. Traficanti is not

related to

Congressman Traficant. Last September, the Congressman's employee

Anthony

Traficanti was subpoenaed by the Federal Grand Jury in

Cleveland.

Congressman Traficant has also received campaign contributions from

Youngstown

resident Walter Terlecki. In recent months, Congressman Traficant

has entered

into the Congressional Record sworn affidavits by Michael " Beef "

Terlecky, a

former Mahoning County Deputy Sheriff who was convicted of taking

bribes from

the Mafia. Terlecky now claims that he was set up by some of the same

authorities that are now involved in the investigation of

Congressman Traficant,

including two public figures who attended an anti-Mafia summit

meeting recently

in Palermo, Sicily. The Congressman has denied a request by the

chairman of the

Mahoning County Board of Elections who is seeking information the

Congressman

claims to have regarding Mafia bribes to the campaigns of elected

officials in

Youngstown. Terlecky also claims that it was he who found the

infamous

Carabbia tapes months before the FBI during an illegal search and

seizure

regarding an investigation into the murder of yet another Youngstown

Mafia

figure, Joe DeRose. However, conversations on the Carabbia tapes

that include

remarks made by Sam Traficanti clearly indicate that the tapes were

recorded

months later than Terlecky's claims, when Traficant had just been

elected

Sheriff. Congressman Traficant is also now claiming that an FBI

agent in

Youngstown was taking bribes from the Mafia 38 years ago in

1962. During

the 1999 Federal bribery trial of Youngstown Sheriff Philip Chance

fireworks

distributor Bruce Zoldan testified that Chance shook him down

for `tribute

money' to Pittsburgh Mafia figure Lenny Strollo. Zoldan's first run-

in with

Chance was in 1983, when Sheriff Traficant and his Deputy Chance

raided Zoldan's

fireworks business two days before their busiest moneymaking period,

the Fourth

of July. Zoldan would also testify that the Gambino Family led by

John Gotti

extorted a huge sum of money from him in order to do business in New

York. The

murder of Mafia figure Joey Naples, who was among those who

contributed to the

$163,000 bribe to Traficant, is believed to be a result of the fight

for control

of the fireworks business. David Sugar pleaded guilty last year

to

Obstruction of Justice charges in regards to his attempts to conceal

evidence

from the Grand Jury in Cleveland investigating financial dealings

between Sugar,

his construction company, and Congressman Traficant. Sugar is

expected to

testify against Traficant at any future criminal proceedings, as is

Traficant's

former employee on his horse farm, Clarence Broad. In November of

last year,

Broad pleaded guilty to charges he tried to hire a hitman to murder

a woman who

was expected to give damaging testimony against Traficant before the

Grand Jury

in Cleveland. Criminal attorney Mark Colucci, who also is among

those who have

given money to Traficant's campaign, responded by alleging in

Federal Court that

Prosecutor Craig Morford had used coercion to force Broad to plead

guilty. Judge

Donald Nugent was not impressed with Colucci's unsubstantiated

claims and

threatened to cite Colucci for Contempt of Court. In 1998 and

2000

Traficant accepted donations from controversial activist James

Zogby, President

of the Arab American Institute. Zogby was recently in the news last

October,

when his appointment as an Advisor to the Al Gore campaign sparked

outrage

worldwide among supporters of Israel. The Jerusalem Post quoted

terrorism expert

Steven Emerson: " Zogby has not only made comments that are

incendiary but he has

also made comments that are anti-Semitic! " " (Zogby has) openly

supported the

Hizbullah! " Emerson is renown for his investigation of the terrorist

bombing of

Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland in

December, 1988,

killing 270 people, including 35 Syracuse University students.

On June 29,

1993, Senator John McCain entered into the Congressional Record a

public

challenge to the FBI and the Justice Department to share information

on the

People's Mujahidin Organization of Iran, a suspected terrorist

organization that

was involved in a clandestine effort to influence public policy

through an

organized campaign of directing contributions to the campaigns of

selected

members of Congress. Said the Senator: " Given the charges made in a

previous FBI

report that the PMOI has a history of terrorism, an anti-Western

ideology, and

ties to the regime of Saddam Hussein, this should be a matter of

concern to all

Members. " In 1997 The Iran Report, a publication of the Middle

East Data

Project, identified four members of Congress as recipients of

campaign donations

from alleged associates of the PMOI. Those four were Robert

Torricelli of New

Jersey, Gary Ackerman of New York, Dan Burton of Indiana and James

Traficant of

Ohio. To date, none of these individuals have been charged with

making illegal

campaign contributions. However, Senator Torricelli is currently in

the news

defending himself against a Chinese fundraiser named David Chang,

who has

pleaded guilty to illegally contributing $53,000 to Torricelli's

1996 campaign.

Numerous recent Media reports show that the Feds are now nearing the

conclusion

of an investigation that began with reports of impropriety regarding

contributions to Torricelli's 1996 campaign. Congressman

Traficant has

developed a huge following in the Arab and Muslim countries in the

Middle East

because of his passionate public support for accused terrorists

Abdel Basset Ali

Mohmed Al-Megrahi and Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah, indicted for the

bombing of Pan Am

Flight 103, and former auto worker John Demjanjuk, who was placed on

trial in

Israel on charges he was " Ivan the Terrible, " a Nazi concentration

camp guard

responsible for the murders of thousands of Jews during World War

II. Demjanjuk

was convicted and sentenced to death, although the Israeli Supreme

Court later

reversed his conviction. Congressman Traficant then flew to Israel

to personally

escort the accused murderer back to the United States. In the

case of the

terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, Traficant first went public

in this

matter at a press conference in 1989, at which he claimed that the

bombing was

the result of a joint Syrian/CIA operation. ABC News London

correspondent Pierre

Salinger then picked up the story, utilizing Traficant, government

informant

Lester Coleman, and private investigator Juval Aviv as his sources.

Coleman

later pleaded guilty to Perjury charges and admitted his Pan Am/CIA

story was a

hoax. Juval Aviv was placed on trial in 1996 in Manhattan on Federal

fraud

charges unrelated to the Pan Am case. He was acquitted. Upon

Aviv's

indictment Congressman Traficant found a replacement in Boris de

Korczak as his

lead researcher in his quest to prove his Pan Am 103 theory. Boris

is best known

for the lawsuit he filed in 1996 against the CIA in which he claimed

he had been

recruited by the CIA as a double agent against the KGB, that

his `cover' had

been blown by a drunken U. S. official which resulted in a shoot-out

with the

KGB during a car chase through the streets of Copenhagen, and that

his CIA case

Officer extorted from him a bribe of Russian Medieval icons worth

$300,000 in

exchange for the promise of help in obtaining the pension he claimed

was owed

him. Boris claims he turned over the bribe, only to be shot in the

kidney 4

months later by an unknown assailant armed with a pellet gun. The

CIA denied

Boris' claims he was owed monetary compensation and also denied any

of its

employees shot Boris with a pellet gun. Boris' lawsuit was dismissed

and the

decision was upheld on Appeal. Despite the efforts of Traficant

and his

associates to prove their conspiracy theory, Abdel Basset Ali Mohmed

Al-Megrahi

was recently convicted as the terrorist who planted the bomb that

destroyed Pan

Am Flight 103. Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah was acquitted. In

addition to

receiving campaign money from convicted Mafia figures and Middle

Eastern

political operatives, FEC documents also detail contributions made to

Traficant's campaign from Unions that have been involved in

corruption scandals

in recent years. Those Unions include the American Federation of

State, County,

& Municipal Employees, the Communications Workers of America, the

Transport

Workers Union, and the UFCW. Traficant has also received

donations from the

Italian-American Democratic Leadership Council, the Al Gore for

President

campaign, and the National Education Association Fund for Children

and Public

Education. Ironic is the $12,000 donated to Traficant by the

Association of

Trial Lawyers, as Traficant is one of the few people without a law

degree to

have ever beaten a Federal racketeering trial by acting as his own

attorney.

When Sheriff Traficant was arrested by the FBI in 1982, he signed a

confession

after agents played for him excerpts from the Carabbia tapes.

Traficant then

hired one of the best attorneys in the business, Carmen Policy, Ed

Flask's

partner, who is today the President of the Cleveland Browns

professional

football team. However, after Traficant went public with charges

that just about

every public official in Youngstown was involved with the Mafia,

Policy dumped

Traficant as his client. Traficant then made a bold – and some would

say insane

– decision to renounce his confession and stand trial, acting as his

own

attorney. Traficant explained to the jury that he only accepted the

Mafia bribe

money so he would know whom to arrest for corruption once elected

Sheriff. After

four days of deliberations, the jury returned a verdict that stunned

the

Prosecutors and journalists that covered the trial; Not Guilty.

Traficant then

turned the publicity over his acquittal to his advantage and was

elected to

Congress in 1984. However, three years later he was again in Court,

facing civil

charges that he owed taxes on the $163,000 in Mafia bribes.

Representing him was

attorney George Alexander, who has since been convicted of

racketeering with the

Mafia. As in the O. J. Simpson case, Traficant was convicted in his

civil trial

and ordered to pay back taxes, fines, and interest. For many

months now,

Traficant has been predicting during public appearances that he

expects to be

indicted - again - by the Federal authorities in Cleveland who have

to date

convicted over 70 public officials, many of whom are associates of

the

Pittsburgh Mafia Family. James Ridgway de Szigethy can be reached at

Why is Joe DioGuardi so happy?

by Jared Israel

[27 February 2000]

Here's John McCain at a campaign rally with Joseph DioGuardi, a

former

Congressman and head of the Albanian political action committee

which raised

huge amounts for American politicians (for instance, Bob Dole) who

in turn have

supported the on-going attacks on Serbia.

 

Notice the scarf DioGuardi is wearing. That double-headed eagle was

the insignia

of the World War II Nazi Skanderbeg SS division. (See document on

left; click to

enlarge.) Among other achievements, this Nazi outfit massacred

Kosovo's Jews in

the streets of Pristina and shipped the survivors to the Bergen-

Belsen and

Treblinka death camps.

 

Why is McCain holding Presidential campaign rallies with this man

who proudly

sports a Nazi emblem? And why is DioGuardi so happy?

" MONEY FROM THE AMERICAN MUSLIM ALLIANCE

it is no wonder that the American Muslim Alliance chapter in

Massachusetts held

what it called a " successful fundraiser " for First Lady Hillary

Clinton at the

Park Plaza Hotel in Boston on June 13, 2000. AMA Massachusetts Chair

Tahir Ali

said afterwards, " We are attempting to send an important message to

all AMA

chapters: we must support all who have [Muslim] interests at heart,

regardless

of what part of the country they are running in. "

 

EMERSON'S TESTIMONY

According to Steve Emerson, a well-known investigative journalist

specializing

in militant Islamic organizations, the AMA's leaders " have

sanctioned terrorism,

published anti-Semitic statements, and repeatedly hosted conferences

that were

forums for denunciations of Jews and exhortations to wage jihad. "

Faced with

pressure on the matter, Mrs. Clinton announced on Oct. 25th that she

was

returning the $50,000 in campaign contributions raised for her by

the AMA. She

failed to give a credible explanation as to why it took her more

than four

months from June 13th until October 25th until she saw it

necessary to

return the money.

 

Mr. Emerson, in a recent Wall Street Journal article, noted: " As

first lady,

Mrs. Clinton began in 1996 an outreach program to Muslim leaders in

the U.S.

With America's Muslim population at some six million and growing, an

effort to

include the community's leaders in the mainstream of American

politics is

unquestionably a worthy undertaking. But curiously, nearly all of

the leaders

with whom Mrs. Clinton elected to meet came from Islamic

fundamentalist

organizations. A review of the statements, publications and

conferences of the

groups Mrs. Clinton embraced shows unambiguously that they have long

advocated

or justified violence. By meeting with these groups, the first lady

lent them

legitimacy as " mainstream " and " moderate " . "

 

But this should not be unexpected, considering Mrs. Clinton's past

radical

affiliations. During the 1980's, ultra-liberal lawyer Hillary Rodham-

Clinton

served on the board of the New World Foundation, which funneled

money to the

Palestine Liberation Organization, at a time when the PLO was

officially

recognized by the United States as a terrorist organization.

 

Similarly, in February 1996, Hillary hosted a reception at the White

House for

leaders of Hamas-supporting groups such as the American Muslim

Council and the

Council on American-Islamic Relations. And in January, 1998, Hillary

hosted

another White House reception honoring Muslim leaders and the Muslim

Public

Affairs Council who defended militant Islamic fundamentalism and

also supported

radical Islamic groups.

 

THE REAL HILLARY

This, then, is the real Hillary Rodham-Clinton. An ambitious woman

willing to

utter any banal cliche on behalf of " Israel's security " to placate

unaware New

York Jewish voters, but one whose pre-Senate race record on Israel

is appalling.

It's a record of supporting the terrorist PLO, even before the 1993

signing of

the first Oslo Agreement on the White House lawn, of ignoring

blatant calumny

heaped on Israel by Suha Arafat, of supporting the creation of a

Palestinian PLO

State, of hosting and legitimizing extremist Islamic groups in the

United

States. Most recently, it included taking campaign contributions

from these very

same evil, anti-Semitic organizations - until being caught with her

hand in the

extremist Islamic cookie jar. This is the very same Hillary Rodham-

Clinton who

now claims to be Israel's friend. "

The children and grandchildren of the Albanian Moslem SS Division

became the so-called " KLA " .

The item below gives some more background:

Dear Messrs. Hogan & Sacre et al, at the Australian `Sixty Minutes'

program:

 

 

Sir, I am an expatriate Jewish American currently residing in Perth,

WA,

Australia. I just viewed your tribute to the late Mr. Richard

Carleton last

night. For your information, my mother lost virtually her ENTIRE

family to the

Nazis in World War 2. It is very sad and depressing for me

personally that Mr.

Carleton has passed away without being able to rectify his extremely

biased and

misinformed portrayal & demonization of the Israelis & Serbs vis-a-

vis the

conflicts in the Middle East & Balkans while he was still alive.

 

Sir, why do you never mention the fact that the people who the Serbs

and Israeli

Jews are fighting to this very day are unrepentent mass murdering

Nazis &

Islamist terrorists who were publicly committed to Genocide of the

Serbs & Jews

BEFORE the " official " outbreak of war in their respective countries ?

 

Why is their no mention of the heinous crimes of the Bosnian

Islamist Nazi

warlord, Mr. Naser Oric, from April 1992 to August 1995 in and

around villages

adjoining Srebrenica & Gorazde? Mr. Oric received his specific

instructions for

these slaughters from Alija Izetbegovic - according to testimony

under oath, by

French UN general, Phillipe Morillon, at the ICTY Hague " war crimes

tribunal " .

Mr. Oric's barbaric murders of Serbian women & children were

rigorously

documented in several UN reports and even PHOTGRAPHED & VIDEOTAPED

by himself

and shown to US & Canadian reporters while he LAUGHED as he watched

his videos!!

(see below links ). This monster cold bloodedly murdered - using the

most

hideously brutal methods over 3,870 innocent elderly Serbian men,

women and even

babies and children under 5 years of age, mostly by cutting throats

and

beheading, often preceded by the most horrific tortures including

cutting off of

limbs, lips, noses, ears, breasts, genitalia, burning of skin and

gang rape. Yet

you and your colleagues at Sixty Minutes have consistently FAILED to

mention any

of it in over 14 years of reporting. Why?

 

Similar crimes were perpetrated by the Croatian Ustasha Nazis

against Serbs in

Croatia from late 1990 onwards - soon after Mr. Franjo Tudjman came

to power -

and in the Serbian Krajina province which was cleansed of 275,000 to

350,000

Serbs by Messrs Franjo Tudjman, Ante Gotovina & Agim Ceku from

August to

November 1995 in the Clinton administration-backed massive ethnic

cleansing

operation known as " Operation Storm " : the total number of Serbs

cleansed from

Croatia & the Krajina province being close to 600,000 from late 1990

to November

1995 with total Serbian CIVILIANS murdered estimated at 14,000 to

20,000 by

independent Western observers (see the links below). Why is this

never mentioned

in any of your reports over the last 11 years?

 

Sir, were you aware that both Mr. Franjo Tudjman and Mr.Alija

Izetbegovic are on

record as saying & writing words to the effect that there can be NO

peace or

co-existence with the Serbs and Jews and that the Serbs should get

the hell out

of Bosnia, Croatia/Krajina or else be killed? Did you know similar

statements

were publicly made by Messrs. Agim Ceku, Ramush Haradinaj and Hashim

Thaci

concerning the Serbs and Jews in Kosovo: that they should leave or

else be

slaughtered?

 

Were you aware that both Messrs Franjo Tudjman and Alija Izetbegovic

in the

early 1990's BEFORE the outbreak of war in ex-Yugoslavia PUBLICLY

admitted to

their admiration of World War 2 Nazi leaders Adolph Hitler, Ante

Pavelic and Haj

Amin Al-Husseini and their Nazi genocidal policies with regards to

the Serbs &

Jews? Were you aware that the late Alija Izetbegovic was an

auxiliary in the

Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS " Handzar " [ " Dagger " or " Scimitar " ] division,

and a member

of the " Young Muslims " organization in Bosnia in early 1943 - said

organization

serving as a recruiting tool for this 20,000 strong Muslim Nazi SS

division?

Were you aware that there is absolutely no public record in the

Western media of

the late Franjo Tudjman's war time activities prior to his joining

Tito's

partisans in 1944?

 

Sir, were you aware that the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat was a

close associate

of the WW2 Islamist Arabic Nazi leader, and friend of Adolf Hitler,

the Grand

Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini? Were you aware that the

leaders of the

KLA, Messrs Agim Ceku,Ramush Haradinaj & Hashim Thaci, derive their

ideology &

guiding principles from the racist Nazi " Greater Albania " proponents

of the WW2

Albanian " Skanderbeg " Nazi SS division and the " Greater Albania "

adherents of

the exceedingly brutal and repressive Stalinist-Maoist totalitarian

dictatorship

of the late Enver Hoxha in Albania?

 

Were you aware that the alleged Jenin " massacre " of Arab civilians

in 2002 by

Israeli IDF forces was a deliberate HOAX disseminated by Western NATO

governments & the corporate media ? (See

http://www.hirhome.com/yugo/ranta.htm )

Were you aware that the so-called " Deir Yassin massacre of Arab

civilians " in

1948 is also a brazen LIE by pro-PLO supporters? (See

http://www.hirhome.com/israel/deir-yassin.htm)

 

It is utterly INCONCEIVABLE that you and your team at Sixty Minutes

were not

aware of all the above, so the obvious question is: why you have so

far failed

to mention -in the last 16 years of your program's telecasts any of

the above -

and why you have failed to report on the barbaric & heinous crimes

of the

Nazi/Islamo-Fascist al Qaeda- linked mass murdering Balkan war

criminals :

Messrs. Naser Oric (see photos & videos of his crimes below), Hashim

Thaci,

Ramush Haradinaj, Agim Ceku, Tomislav Mercep,Dobrosav Paraga, the

late Croatian

Nazi Holocaust denier, Adolf Hitler & Ante Pavelic admirer:

Mr.Franjo Tudjman,

as well as the Iranian-backed Islamist fundamentalist terrorist, the

late Mr.

Alija Izetbegovic? Could it be because all of the above were

supported by

Arabic/Islamic countries with large reserves of oil and thus backed

by the

United States administration of Bill Clinton & NATO/EU governments?

 

See the Western government & media suppressed official United

Nations documents:

A/48/177, S/25835 and A/47/813, S/24991 describing the

hideous murders and rapes of Serbian civilians in and around

Srebrenica and

other Bosnian towns - available at:

 

http://emperors-clothes.com/sreb/mem.htm

http://www.srebrenica-report.com/docs/UN-1993-1.pdf

 

The UN document A/47/813, S/24991 on rape by Bosnian Muslim & Croat

forces in

Bosnia in 1992 can be read at:

http://www.srpska-mreza.com/Bosnia/rapes/raped-serbs.html.

 

Isn't it just a little strange that the above reports have NEVER

been mentioned

- even once - in the Western corporate media or by Western

governments for the

last 13 years?

 

Sir, I also wish to ask why you never point out that the Palestinian

Arabs are

led by people whose ideology comes from the Hassan Al-Banna led

Islamist-Nazi

" Muslim Brotherhood " organization whose ultimate goal is GENOCIDE of

the Jewish

people? Why the PLO's Fatah organization ideology comes from the

same source and

was really led and mentored by Adolf Hitler's close friend, the

Grand Mufti of

Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini, up until his death in 1974?

Tetovo and Greater Albania : Tetovo During World War II, 1941-1944

 

by Carl Savich

 

Tetovo during World War II, 1941-1944: Introduction

 

The practical implementation of the Greater Albania ideology was

achieved during

World War II when Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini established a

German/Italian

sponsored Albanian state which incorporated Western Macedonia,

Illirida,

Kosovo-Metohija, Kosova, and southern Montenegro . Hitler and

Mussolini set the

historical and political precedent for the creation of Greater

Albania which

existed from 1941 to 1944. The Orthodox Slavic populations, the Roma

and Jewish

populations were to be exterminated and deported. Albanian was made

the official

language in Kosovo, Western Macedonia, and southern Montenegro . The

Albanian

Lek was introduced as the official currency. The Albanian national

flag, a

double-headed black eagle on a red background, was raised in the

occupied areas.

Hitler and Mussolini had achieved a Greater or Ethnic Albania . The

UCK, the

so-called Albanian Liberation Army, known also by the acronyms the

NLA/KLA/ANA/KPC/LAPMB, seeks to re-establish and to re-create the

Greater

Albania first created by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The

agenda, the

goals, and the objectives of the UCK are identical to those of the

ideologues of

Greater Albania during World War II who created a Greater Albania in

Western

Macedonia, Kosovo-Metohija, and southern Montenegro . Western

Macedonia and the

city of Tetovo are integral and inseparable components or parts of

the Greater

Albania ideology. Greater Albania would be incomplete without

Western Macedonia

.. What is being witnessed in Kosovo and in Macedonia today is a

repeat or replay

of what occurred during World War II, when Hitler and Mussolini

established

Greater Albania.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Albanian Nazi's were specially brutal to the Serb Orthodox clergy.

Here an

Albanian is murdering an Orthodox priest in Devic in World War 2.

 

Tetovo during World War II: Italian Occupation, 1941-1943 Adolf

Hitler and

Benito Mussolini established Greater Albania in 1941 following the

occupation

and dismemberment of Yugoslavia . On April 6, 1941, Germany and

allies Italy ,

Albania , Hungary , and Bulgaria invaded Yugoslavia in Operation

Punishment.

Yugoslavia was subsequently occupied and dismembered. Hitler and

Mussolini then

sponsored a Greater Albanian state which included territory from

Western

Macedonia, Kosovo-Metohija, and southern Montenegro .

 

Tetovo became a part of Albania . The borders of Albania were

enlarged to

include not only Tetovo or Tetova in Albanian, but all of Western

Macedonia

(Illirida), Kosovo-Metohija, and regions of Montenegro . Present-day

Macedonia

(FYROM) was divided between Albania and Bulgaria . Tetovo was in the

Italian

zone of occupation until September 3,1943, when Italy surrendered

and Germany

re-occupied Macedonia . Ethnic Albanians in Macedonia formed the

National

Albanian Committee to advance the Greater Albania movement and

agenda. The Balli

Kombetar (BK, National Union) was formed by Midhat Frasheri and Ali

Klissura to

advance the Greater Albania ideology or cause. The Slavic Orthodox

populations

were targeted for deportation or murder. The Jews and Roma were

similarly to be

deported or killed.

 

Hitler and Mussolini had given the ethnic Albanians Greater Albania.

In August,

1941, the Italian occupation forces in Tetovo established a prison

for prisoners

of war. The Italian occupation authorities gave the civil authority

and

administration to the Albanian population. All Albanian-inhabited

territories,

Western Macedonia, Illirida, Kosovo-Metohija, Kosova, and southern

Montenegro ,

were integrated completely into Albania proper. Albanian language

schools, an

Albanian press, an Albanian radio network were established and an

Albanian

governmental and political administration was created. Vulnetara, an

Albanian

paramilitary formation, was organized. Albanian police units were

established by

the Italian occupation force. Albanian became the official language

as Western

Macedonia or Illirida became a part of Albania . The Albanian

national flag, the

double-headed black eagle on a red background, was raised in Tetovo

and other

cities and towns in Western Macedonia . The Albanian Lek was

introduced as the

official currency. Tetovo, Gostivar, Struga, Debar, and Kichevo were

the key

municipalities and districts in Western Macedonia incorporated into

Albania , a

Greater Albania. Eastern Macedonia was occupied by Bulgarian

military forces.

 

Macedonia was divided between Albania and Bulgaria . Hitler and

Mussolini sought

to delineate the borders between Greater Albania and Greater

Bulgaria. The

Albanians and their Italian sponsors wanted to enlarge the borders

of Albania

eastward encroaching on Bulgarian occupied territory. The Bulgarians

sought to

expand westward. On April 20 and 21, 1941, the German foreign

minister, Joachim

Ribbentrop, and the Italian foreign minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano,

met in

Vienna to discuss the Bulgarian occupation zone and the enlargement

of the

borders of Greater Albania eastward. Ribbentrop emphasized the

importance of the

mines in Kosovo-Metohija and Macedonia that were vital to the

strategic

interests of Germany . The German and Italian supreme commands

reached an

agreement on the final demarcation line in Macedonia . Hitler

approved the

agreement on April 25. The agreement was tentative, however, and was

not a

final, complete agreement on demarcation lines. The agreement was

abandoned

later as Italy and Bulgaria could not agree on a border between

their two

occupation zones in Macedonia and Kosovo-Metohija. Later in 1941,

the two sides

were able to reach an understanding on where the border should be.

 

The Italian occupation forces appointed Albanian Dzaferi Sulejmani

the president

of the Tetovo district. The vice-president was Albanian Munir

Tevshana who had

come from Albania . Later, Zejnel Starova and Shaib Kamberi replaced

him.

Kamberi worked for the Italian intelligence service. Selim Shaipi

was the

representative for Tetovo and was the leader of the Albanian youth

movement.

Shaipi was also a representative of the Second League of Prizren and

was the

president of the Third Balli Kombetar Committee. Shaipi fled with

the German

Army when Tetovo was evacuated in 1944. Husein Derala was made the

commander of

the gendarmes units in Tetovo by the Italian occupation forces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Albanian troops in the 21st Waffen Gebirgs Division der

SS " Skanderbeg " , 1944.

 

The Albanian administration targeted the Orthodox, Slavic

populations for

elimination, disenfranchisement, de-recognition, and expulsion.

Feyzi Alizoti

called for the extermination and deportation of non-Muslims. The

Greater Albania

ideology was anti-Orthodox, anti-Slavic in nature, and atrocities,

deportations,

and murders were committed against the Slavic, Orthodox populations.

Josip

Kovac, a Slovenian who was placed in charge of the Tetovo hospital

by the Axis

forces, described the anti-Orthodox, anti-Christian, anti-Slavic

activity of

Alizoti as follows:

 

" There were exceptionally hard times in the annexed areas of Western

Macedonia

and Kosovo-Metohija when Fejzi Alizoti, the High Commissioner,

visited. He gave

a speech in Tetovo that demanded the annihilation of the non-Muslim

communities.

Publicly and openly he stated that there will be no peace until the

last

foreigner---Orthodox Christians---leaves his territory and settles

across the

border and only ethnic Albanians are left behind. Following his

visit, the

situation deteriorated and became unbearable for all non-Muslims. "

 

The Italian military intelligence service, OVRA, formed an

independent battalion

in occupied Tetovo. The battalion was named ìLjubotenî, a special

unit made up

of ethnic Albanians in the Tetovo region. This Italian-created

Albanian Axis

unit was to uncover, question, and annihilate any resistance to the

occupation.

After the surrender of Italy in 1943, the German forces retained

this Albanian

formation allowing the unit to keep their Italian-issued uniforms

and weapons.

Members of the Balli Kombetar later joined the Ljuboten battalion.

At the end of

1943, the Ljuboten unit was engaged in the attack on Kichevo in

Macedonia .

 

The Italian occupation of Western Macedonia allowed the Albanian

population to

create an ethnic Albanian-ruled region. Albanian police and

paramilitary units

were formed as a proxy army by the Italian forces. The civil

administration was

entrusted by the Italians to Albanian leaders. Albanian became the

official

language;the civil and police administration was taken over by

ethnic Albanians;

Albanian schools, newspapers, and radio stations were established.

Tetovo became

Tetova, an Albanian Muslim city in the newly-expanded Albanian state.

 

Early History

 

From the 14th century, Tetovo has been an Orthodox Slavic settlement

founded

around the Orthodox Church of Sveta Bogorodica (Saint Mother of God)

near the

mountain source of the Pena river in the Polog valley. Sveta

Bogorodica was

built in the 13th century when Tetovo began to be regarded as a

major Orthodox

Church center. Tetovo was the first center of the Orthodox

episcopate. The

oldest settlement in Tetovo is the region around the Sveta

Bogorodica Orthodox

Church. The modern city of Tetovo grew from this small medieval

Orthodox Slavic

settlement of Htetovo with the building and construction of houses

around the

Orthodox Church. The Ottoman Turkish Muslim Empire invaded and

occupied

present-day Macedonia beginning in the 14th century. The Muslim

Turks began

settling and colonizing Macedonia with Turkish settlers. The Ottoman

Turks began

the Turkification and Islamicization of Macedonia. The Ottoman Turks

altered the

Orthodox Slavic nature of Tetovo, which in Turkish was renamed

Kalkandele. The

Ottoman Turks began settling the level lowlands of Tetovo. The

Colored or

Painted Mosque (Aladzha or Sharena Dzamija), also known as the Pasha

Mosque, was

built in 1459 by the Ottoman Turks. The earlier Slavic Orthodox

population

concentration in Tetovo was on the high ground and on the foothills

of the Shar

Planina or Mountain range.

 

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the city began to expand greatly.

The city was

divided into the Orthodox Slavic quarter and the Muslim Turkish

quarter. The

Orthodox Slavic quarter or section was on the left side, on the Pena

River ,

made up of the Potok, Dva Bresta, Koltuk, Sveti Nikola, Dol,

Pevchina, and Dolno

regions. The Turkish Muslim quarter or section included the

following regions:

The Colored Mosque (Sharena Dzamija) region, Banja, Gorna Charshija,

Gamgan, and

Saat. After World War II, the ethnic mosaic of the city changed with

the

displacement of the Serbian Orthodox and Turkish Muslim populations.

The city

then acquired its present ethnic configuration of Macedonian

Orthodox Slavs and

Muslim Albanians. Different city subdivisions emerged. New

settlements and

districts were formed such as Przhova Bavcha, Tabakaana, Gazaana,

the Teteks

textile plant district, and the Boulevard ìBoris Kidricî.

 

In the town of Leshok , which had been known as Legen Grad, in the

Tetovo

municipality, is located the Leshok Monastery which includes the

Orthodox Church

of the Holy Virgin built in 1326 and the Sveti Athanasius Orthodox

Church built

in 1924. The tomb of the Orthodox scholar Kiril Pejchinovic lies in

the Leshok

Monastery. The Church has three layers of frescoes: The lower layer

was built in

1326, the middle layer was built in the 17th century, and the top

layer was

built in 1879. The Leshok Monastery symbolizes the Orthodox and

Slavic presence

in the region. The UCK separatists deliberately mined and demolished

the

Monastery in August, 2001, to eradicate and cleanse the Orthodox

Slavic

influence. Cultural cleansing is followed by the ethnic cleansing of

the

Orthodox Slavic population. The UCK has ethnically cleansed or

driven out much

of the non-Albanian population from the Tetovo district. "

 

" HILLARY RUSHED TO SUPPORT PALESTINIAN STATE

And Hillary Rodham-Clinton? Well, in May 1998, she told a youth

conference on

Middle East peace in Villars, Switzerland, that she supports the

eventual

creation of an independent Palestinian state. Her spokesperson,

Marsha Berry

told reporters: " " These remarks are her own personal view. " Then, in

November

1999, while on a purported State visit to the Middle East, she

publicly appeared

with Yasser Arafat's wife Suha. With Hillary at her side, Suha

Arafat made the

deliberately false allegation that " Our [Palestinian] people have

been submitted

to the daily and intensive use of poisonous gas by the Israeli

forces, which has

led to an increase in cancer cases among women and children. " Mrs.

Arafat also

accused Israel of contaminating much of the water sources used by

Palestinians

with " chemical materials " and poisoning Palestinian women and

children with

toxic gases.

 

Instead of reacting with outrage, Hillary Clinton sat by silently -

and gave her

a hug and a kiss when she finished speaking. Later, many hours after

the event,

and only after a media furor put her on the spot for what many view

as a bit

more than a mere political " faux pas " , Mrs. Clinton called on " all

sides " to

refrain from " inflammatory rhetoric and baseless accusations " -

including

Israel, whose leaders made no such accusations. Glossing over this

remarkably

repugnant affair, Mrs. Clinton has yet to specifically contradict

and denounce

the monstrous lies uttered by Yasser Arafat's wife in her presence. "

More Than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed by

Arkansas

State Trooper

NewsMax.com

September 14, 1999

Washington - An Arkansas State Trooper who once guarded Bill Clinton

has

revealed startling new information about Bill and Hillary Rodham

Clinton.

Trooper Larry Patterson, a recently retired 32-year veteran of the

state police,

had been the most senior member of the elite Governor's Security

Detail during

the period Bill Clinton served as Governor. During that time,

Patterson became

privy to Bill and Hillary Clinton's most closely guarded secrets.

Patterson told

his story exclusively to NewsMax.com and Internet Vortex.

NewsMax.com has

published More than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton

Revealed — a

two-hour audio cassette tape of Christopher Ruddy's interview with

Trooper Larry

Patterson. In More than Sex Patterson makes bombshell revelations,

some of which

have never been disclosed before:

Organized Crime. The press has ignored reporting of this critical

issue, but

Patterson says Clinton had a close relationship with the head of the

Dixie

Mafia—Arkansas' homegrown organized crime family that has grown in

recent years

through drug trafficking. Patterson said Clinton regularly received

gifts from

the reputed mob boss.

Ethnic Slurs about Jews. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton frequently

used slurs

during heated arguments with each other, Patterson said. Among the

epithets they

frequently hurled at each other were anti-Semitic slurs such

as `mother f---in'

Jew' or `Jew bastard'. Patterson said such references were heard

frequently

during the years he served the Clintons. Patterson said Clinton

loved telling

ethnic jokes and frequently told jokes that were anti-Semitic.

The use of the " N " word. Patterson said Bill Clinton would use the

word " nigger "

— the " N " word — when he was angry with African-American opponents.

He recalls

the use of the word in describing a black, Arkansas activist who

was critical

of Clinton. Patterson said Clinton also used the " N " word during the

1992

campaign

Hitler and Mein Kampf. Bill Clinton, Patterson said, spoke

admiringly of Hitler

and was fascinated by his book Mein Kampf.

Jerusalem, November 10, 1999

Fooling the Jews

 

WOMEN IN GREEN, among whose members there are many voters from New

York who

have dual citizenship, will protest against the visit of Hillary

Clinton.

We will be outside the Tel Aviv Museum, Shaul HaMelech Boulevard and

Weizman Street in Tel Aviv, at 19:15 to voice our opposition to

this " new "

and dubious friend of Israel.

Hillary Clinton is one smart lady. She wants to be President.

Therefore,

she will say anything to any particular Group that will lend itself

to

obtaining that set objective. She strategically chose the upcoming

Senatorial race in New York as the first stepping stone towards

reaching

her presidential goal. However, New York has an important Jewish

vote and

that is a hurdle that she must leap over and " handle " .

The difficulty for Hillary is that she has never been a friend of

Israel.

She has publicly come out for a Palestinian State, which as a

sophisticated

and smart lady she knows would threaten Israel's very existence.

She very

well knows that hatred of Jews and Israel even now is an essential

part of

Arafat's educational system; moreover, Arafat's hate propaganda in

his

Media includes praise of the bomb makers who specialize in blowing up

Israel's buses. Yet she has never leveled one word of criticism

against

Arafat in that or any other regard, or for that matter against any

Arab.

Her Arab guest list at the White House has included American Arab

leaders

who are sympathetic to and support terrorist Hamas. She could find

nothing

about Israel to publicly admire throughout the many years that she

has been

in the White House.

But to garner the Jewish vote in New York she has to appear to tone

down

her bias in favor of the Arabs, and make some Jewish " gestures " .

She now

lets out of the family closet the inconsequential news that her

grandmother's second husband was a Jew. And of course for these New

York

voters, she is making the proscribed visit to Israel. After all

these years

she suddenly awakened to recognize the status of Jerusalem; she

recently

told the Jews that Jerusalem is Israel's eternal capital; however,

she is

not in favor of moving the U.S. Embassy to that capital. In that she

is

consistent with her husband who broke his previous campaign promise

to

move it. Her track record insures that she too will not keep

whatever

promises she makes to the Jews in order to get into the Senate. If

elected, she would be the most pro-Arab Senator New York has ever

had.

Unmasked, Hillary Clinton has proven herself again and again to have

little

sympathy and understanding for Israel and the Jewish People.

Don't be

fooled by the Jewish " appointees " of her husband. Albright, Berger

and the

like are Jews in name only, who lack loyalty to the Jewish People.

Nor

should you be " taken in " by her deceptive sweet talk. Hillary's

visit to

Israel is just part and parcel of her New York campaign.

note re the piece above from Ruth and Nadia Matar of Women in Green

http://www.womeningreen.org/

 

Madeline Albright actually APOLOGIZED to Bill Clinton for not

knowing that 3 out

of 4 of her grandparents were Jewish. Her family had converted to

Roman

Catholicism, the faith Albright was raised in. Another convert who

left Judaism

himself was Defense Secretary Cohen. Reportedly upset that he could

not go

through the Jewish Bar Mitzvah ceremony, which marks adulthood at

age 13, unless

he converted to Judaism, as Judaism is matrilineal, and Cohen's

mother was not

Jewish, Cohen decided to leave Judaism altogether. As Clinton's

defense

secretary he would provide arms to Egypt.

 

Billions In U.S. Arms To Egypt

 

CAIRO, Egypt March 3rd, 1999

 

QUOTE " We are, of course, eager to be of assistance. " Defense

Secretary William

Cohen

(CBS) The United States on Thursday proposed to sell Egypt $3.2

billion worth of

new American weapons, including 24 F-16 fighter jets, 200 M-1A1

tanks and 32

Patriot missiles.

 

U.S. Defence Secretary William Cohen announced the proposition,

which is likely

to be approved by Congress, after separate talks with President

Hosni Mubarak

and Defense Minister Mohamed Hussein Tantawi in Cairo.

 

It was the latest of several arms offers by Cohen to U.S. Arab

allies on a

nine-nation trip to the Gulf and Middle East.

 

The 24 F-16 fighters, made by Lockheed Martin, would cost $1.2

billion and would

increase a force of 196 F-16s already in Egypt's airforce.

 

The battery of Patriot-3 missiles, which would cost $1.3 billion,

consists of

eight firing units, each containing four missiles, made by Raytheon.

 

The 200 tanks, costing nearly $700 million, would be assembled in

Egypt and add

to 555 such tanks it already has.

 

Cohen told reporters traveling with him that Egypt would " feel

insulted " if its

request for the weapons were denied and might then turn to other

arms suppliers.

 

" If they were to make a request to the United States and we were to

say, `I'm

sorry, we are not going to provide you with any modernized

equipment,' I think

they would take that as an insult, " Cohen said.

 

" There are many potential (arms) suppliers—Russian, Chinese, French,

British and

others—that seek to fulfill their requests. I think that they would

look very

skeptically upon our friendship and very strong partnership if we

were to say

`I'm sorry, we have made a decision that is superior to your

decision. You don't

need this and you shouldn't have it'. "

 

Cohen said the United States believed that a strong military

relationship

supported a strong political and diplomatic relationship that builds

peace and

stability in the region.

 

Egypt, one of Washington's strongest allies in the Arab world, would

receive the

" Block 40 " model of the F-16, the most advanced version of the

world's most

popular attack jet.

 

Cohen said Egypt would pay for the arms from the $1.2 billion a year

it gets in

U.S. military aid. The Pentagon approved the sales in principle but

no deal has

been signed.

 

The United States has in the past sold Cairo a wide range of

weaponry, including

surplus naval destroyers.

 

Cohen, who flew later to Israel for talks on regional security

issues on the

final stop of a busy trip, earlier offered " AMRAAM " advanced medium-

range

air-to-air missiles to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

 

The United Arab Emirates is currently planning to buy 80 of the

earlier " Block

60 " F-16s for $6 billion and a package of AMRAAM and other air-to-

air missiles

for another $2 billion.

 

At an earlier news conference in Cairo, Cohen denied that the U.S.

was fuelling

an arms race in the Middle East, but said Washington remained ready

to help its

allies in the region in response to legitimate requests for military

modernization.

 

" We are, of course, eager to be of assistance, " he said.

 

Officials said after the announcement that the exact purchase prices

and the

timing of delivery are still being worked out.

BLACK LIBERATION ARMY

Aliases: Afro-American Liberation Army

Base of Operation: United States

Founding Philosophy: The Black Liberation Army was a militant

splinter group of

the Black Panther Party. Breaking away from the Black Panthers in

the late

1960s, the stated philosophy of the BLA was to " take up arms for the

liberation

and self-determination of black people in the United States. "

In the 1970s the BLA was responsible for numerous domestic criminal

acts,

including bank and armored car robberies. In one of their more

famous exploits,

members of the BLA freed fellow BLA member Joanne Chesimard from

prison where

she was serving a life sentence for the murder of a state trooper.

Chesimard

fled to Cuba, where she is still living, and the US government has

offered a

reward of $1 million dollars for her capture. Members of the BLA

were also

charged in various terrorist plots including a plan to firebomb

department

stores in New York. In 1981, four members of the BLA were convicted

for various

charges including murder and armed robbery in a failed heist of a

Brinks armored

car, which left one guard and two police officers dead. On March 25,

1984, a man

claiming to be " Lieutenant Spartacus " of the " Black Liberation

Army, " hijacked a

Piedmont airlines jet with 58 passengers on board. The plane flew to

Cuba where

" Lieutenant Spartacus " found asylum.

My subject is Hillary Clinton in her role as America's foremost
