SHARON, GINOSAR, PERES AND THE LATE WAYNE OWENS
by Barry Chamish
Of my previous bulletin, a reader notes:
"Nothing new in what you wrote: it is public knowledge that Duby
Weisglass was Rashid's lawyer - so all you need to do is put 2 and 2 together."
My reaction: if it is public knowledge that Sharon's Office Manager
Dov Weinglass is attorney for Muhamed Rashid, who ran the $300 million plus
bank account opened by Yossi Ginosar to hide money Yasir Arafat stole from
his people's Treasury, then why hasn't the public put two and two together?
That little Sharon connection to the Ginosar scandal has remained buried
deep. So let's exhume it for our masochistic pleasure.
We begin with the great idea of opening a casino in Jericho to
launder Arafat's pilfered treasure. The best plot of land in town was
already owned, so Yasir decided to expropriate it by force:
10 May 2000
The Scotsman
Mr Hamdouni had bought 40 acres of land in the desert outside Jericho. He
had built a petrol station and planned a housing development.
Then the reality of Yasser Arafat's rule hit Mr Hamdouni. Accused of the
capital crime of treason 18 months ago, he was freed from jail only after
he signed over his land to the Palestinian Authority.
Within months, a front company for Mr Arafat had taken a secret 28 per cent
sta ke in a casino built on what had been Mr Hamdouni's land. The casino
now makes $9 million in monthly profits, but Mr Hamdouni sits at home,
chain-smoking and lamenting the destruction of all the hopes he had for his
people once the long Israeli occupation had ended.
"Who can help me when my land is taken by the 40 thieves? I mean, Arafat is
Al i Baba," says Mr Hamdouni, who lost #3 million on the petrol station and
land. "We are under Palestinian economic occupation."
The dream of a Palestinian state, which sustained the people here through
occupation and intifada, has become a nightmare. The state which Mr Arafat
promises to declare in September has all the trappings of independence,
from uniformed police to postage stamps, but it is run as a fiefdom by a
mafia of corrupt officials.
** The dream of Jewish/Arab cooperation in money-laundering for Arafat
was almost derailed by attorney-general Rubinstein and Weisglass was
hopping mad. **
Israelis may be barred from casino in Jericho
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
JERUSALEM - The recently opened gambling casino in
Jericho could face a major shortage of customers if
Israel's attorney general has his way. Elyakim
Rubinstein determined this week that Israelis, the
casino's prime source of customers, should be barred
from gambling there.
In his decision, he cited a regulation that authorizes
local courts to try Israeli citizens for offenses
committed in the Palestinian self-rule areas. Gambling
is illegal in Israel.
Dov Weisglass, the lawyer representing the Austrian
state-run firm that built and operates the casino,
said Israelis already gamble in Turkey, the Red Sea
resort of Taba as well as at illegal gambling houses
within Israel. Weisglass said he hoped the attorney
general would reverse his decision in light of what he
called the oasis of "peace and friendship" operating
in the West Bank town.
"The attorney general has the authority not to enforce
the letter of the law" when it is considered in the
public interest to do so, Weisglass told Israel Radio.
"I hope he will use his judgment to let this (remain)
a place of peace, cooperation and friendliness."
** Criminal cooperation with Arafat or not, the master terrorist just
murdered so many Jews that Jericho was blockaded. Shimon Peres didn't like
that one bit and he got the blockade lifted after a good talk with Muhamed
Rashid, the gangster Arafat chose to safeguard the Ginosar account in
Switzerland. **
25 April 2001
The Jerusalem Post
Peres said lifting the Jericho blockade is part of a policy to let
Palestinians lead normal lives despite the violence.
"In the Jericho area, $700 million was invested in different industries...
this plus the tourism... Everything has been paralyzed," Peres told Israel
Radio. "Our position is to allow for a normal lifestyle unconditionally and
without receiving anything in return... We don't want to harm innocent
people."
Palestinian officials welcomed Peres's statements. One source said the
reopening of the casino and easing the closure on Jericho, which is a
tourist resort, was discussed between Peres and Arafat's financial adviser,
Mohammad Rashid, last Thursday, and not as reported in the Israeli press
between Peres and Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat.
** However, all the ill-gained profits just couldn't stop Yasir from
practising his art of mass murder. So the casino got itself shut down. At
this point Ariel Sharon involves himself personally with Yossi Ginosar.
Sharon meets with Weisglass, his son Omri and Ginosar, all of whom have
personal financial stakes in the casino. The subject of the tete-a-tete had
to have been how to reopen their gold mine, terrorism or not. To Sharon's
credit, his position was opposed to reopening the gambling joint until
Arafat's murders stopped. **
http://www.israelinsider.com/channels/diplomacy/articles/dip_0026.htm
Attention was also directed to an alleged connection
between the Prime Minister's son Omri Sharon and the
idea to reopen the casino. Omri Sharon reportedly
discussed the reopening of the casino at a meeting
with Palestinian officials before the elections.
Attending recent negotiations with Sharon was former
GSS agent Yossi Ginossar, who allegedly has a
financial interest in the casino. Sharon was also
accompanied by Israeli lawyer Dov Weisglass, who also
serves as attorney for one of the casino owners.
** The pressure on Sharon was too much to bear. **
Casinos Austria "knew nothing" - Foreign ministry not informed.

Israel has not had an ambassador here since February 4 last year when he was
withdrawn in protest at the right-wing Freedom Party (FP) joining the Austrian
government. Casinos Austria meanwhile denied it had been involved at all.
Spokeswoman Bettina Stroblich said she knew nothing of the meeting. The
Austrian foreign ministry also said it had not been informed. Earlier, Israeli
reports said Sharon had sent three envoys to Vienna for private contacts with a
top Palestinian official and an Austrian-based businessman. Sharon's three
envoys were his son and election campaign manager Omri, lawyer Dov Weisglas,
and ex-foreign ministry general secretary Eytan Bentzur. According to the
Israeli radio and TV reports, the envoys were to meet Arafat's economic
advisor, and also millionaire businessman Martin Schlaff, who has a share of
the "Oasis" casino.
In Israel, Sharon's press spokesman Rannan Gissin said the aim of the mission
was to take up contact with an influential personality close to Arafat, and
thus to show Sharon was willing for a dialogue with the Palestinians. Until
recently, the "Oasis" casino in Jericho was one of the main sources of income
for the Palestinian Autonomy Authority, and also a lucrative source of profit
for Schlaff. It was closed last October when fighting broke out between
Israelis and Palestinians. Weisglas represents Schlaff's business interests in
the region. He is reported to be sueing the State of Israel for the forced
closure of the casino, and for damage to the building caused by gunbattles.
** Not at all to his credit, Sharon mixes diplomacy with Ginosar and sends his
son and Weisglass to Austria to conduct "peace" talks. This is reality in
Osloland, where the lives of Israelis and Arabs are determined by the flow of
illicit funds from their region to Europe. That being so, here is why Sharon
set up Naomi Blumenthal to be dismissed: **
JTA Dec 11.
BEHIND THE HEADLINES
New financial scandal could hurt
both Arafat and Israel's Labor Party
....
"Shortly after the story [about the Ginossar scandal-
DM] was published in Ma'ariv, Sharon instructed the
Mossad to check whether the Swiss accounts were used
to finance terrorism.
Naomi Blumenthal, deputy minister of infrastructure
from Sharon's Likud Party, demanded the establishment
of a state inquiry commission that would examine not
just the Ginossar affair but "all those who took part
in the negotiations with the Palestinians."
** Blumenthal knew all about Sharon, his son Omri, Weisglass and their ugly
ties to Ginosar and just how deeply they are involved in formulating policy. She
can count herself lucky she didn't suffer the fate of Wayne Owens. Look at the
list of people who decide how much money Arafat is to get from Israel. **
Oct. 15, 2002 - Jerusalem Post

On the eve of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's visit to
Washington Tuesday, Israel and the US reached an
understanding to enable the transfer of some NIS 2
billion in frozen tax revenue to the Palestinian
Authority, a senior source said.
The US has recently applied heavy pressure to release
the remainder of the funds as a way of easing
Palestinian hardships.
Israel's position has been that it would only release
the funds when it is convinced a supervision mechanism
is in place that would assure the money does not fund
terror organizations.
A senior source in the Prime Minister's Office said
that the mechanism was set up at a meeting Monday of
Palestinian Finance Minister Salaam Fayad, Prime
Minister's Bureau chief Dov Weisglass, Foreign
Ministry Director-General Avi Gil, Finance Ministry
Director-General Ohad Marani, US Ambassador Dan
Kurtzer, and Maj.-Gen. Amos Gilad, coordinator of
government activities in the territories.
The source denied the agreement was an attempt to
"give" the US something prior to Sharon's visit
Tuesday.
The new mechanism will reportedly require the
Palestinian Authority to deliver a list of who is on
its payroll to American and European officials, who
will monitor finances from inside the Palestinian
Finance Ministry.
* Ozrad Lev, Ginosar's partner who spilled the beans to Maariv, served in IDF
intelligence, served as aide to Amos Gilad, the office director of the
commander of military intelligence, who was Ehud Barak at that time.
* Daniel Kurtzer is the CFR's American Ambassador to Israel and the first
foreign backer of Amram Mitzna for PM.
* Dov Weisglass has deeply implicated Sharon in the Ginosar affair.
* Avi Gil was Shimon Peres' Foreign Ministry director and the last man to see
Wayne Owens alive.
WHAT THE GINOSAR REVELATIONS COST WAYNE OWENS BESIDES HIS LIFE
The Jericho casino wasn't where the real big money was going. The biggest
scam of all was the "peaceful" use of water. Wayne Owens was the head of "Middle
East Energy and Water Resource Institute."
Read http://www.meweri.org/Documents/2000%20Report.doc
And his company won the tender to build Israel's first major
desalinization plant. This was no tiny operation:
"A decision by the Israeli Ministries of Finance and
National Infrastructure to issue an International
Tender for private development of a 50 million cubic
meter per year sea water desalination facility
expandable to 100 million m3/yr (November 5, 2000)."
Arafat was persuaded not to sabotage the plant:
" A formal decision by President Arafat to separate
West Bank water right claims from the need to proceed
immediately with large-scale sea water desalination in
Gaza (April 2000). Efforts started in 1995 by the
founders of the Institute and added to significantly
by the Institute helped bring about this decision
(April 26, 2000). "
And why was Arafat so kind to this enterprise?
"(He) influenced a policy decision by USAID to commit full
funding ($75million) for full and fast-track
development of a Gaza Water Carrier, arguing that this
commitment would in turn stimulate the needed private
investment interest a large-scale desalination
facilities for Gaza (July 2000)."
Now look who gets to supply special projects for the plant?:
"To magnify opportunities, credibility and
effectiveness during its first 16 months, the
Institute, partnered with its two parent organizations
the Center for Middle East Peace (the Center) and the
International Arid Lands Consortium (the IALC) on most
of its projects. Together with the Center and the
IALC, the Institute also formed strategic partnerships
for specific projects with NGO's Green Cross
International (whose President is Mikhail Gorbechev) and
the Peres Center for Peace (the NGO team)."
Yes, you read it properly. The Shimon Peres Center For Peace had its
grimy paws in the honeypot. To remind us all, members of the board of the Peres
Peace Center included Wayne Owens, Yossi Ginosar and Owens' own business
partners Daniel Abraham and Stephen Cohen. But let us look at the board
structure of the water corporation:

STRATEGIC PARTNERS:
* "Economic Cooperation Foundation" - Yossi
Beilin.
* Mikhail Gorbachev
Just look who got to skim off the cream from this watery gold mine!
Owens organized the scam and his partners included Peres; Jean Frydman, who
financed the Rabin murder for Peres; Sabih Masri, relative of Hani Masri of the
Peres and Owens' peace centers boards, who headed a scam which bilked the
American government of $60 million intended to boost the PA's economy; Daniel
Abraham, of the board of Peres Peace Center and business organizer of Owens'
peace center; and his assistant, Sarah Ehrman, head of Peace Now - America.
Somehow Yossi Beilin and Mikhail Gorbachev also received baby-sized bites of
the pie.
Look what Owens stood to lose by the Ginosar affair! No wonder he was
unconsolable. No wonder he had to be hushed up.
The Oslo Peace process was nothing but a huge embezzlement scam exploiting
Arafat and Peres' unquenchable criminality and the naivete of government
do-gooders in Europe and America. Sharon had a cut of the crime through his son
Omri and his Office Director Dov Weisglass. They had nothing to do with the
desalinization plant where the real money lay, nor did they murder Wayne Owens.
But they stood to profit from the Oslo crimes and Sharon has chosen to protect
them by covering up the Ginosar scandal any way he can.
Even if it costs him the election.
And Israel, its soul.

(Just so my readers know, this awful research is starting to have its effects
on me. No matter where I drive, Israel looks bleak. I've upped my cigarette
consumption to ridiculous levels. I cannot give a speech anymore without having
two stiff shots at the end to calm me down. Without, this degree of crime and
the effect it is having on my audiences keeps me wired until the morning. When I
began my Rabin research seven years ago, I was certain I could nail the
murderers and morality would return to the land. I never dreamed that "peace"
meant crime and "peacemakers," all of them, meant criminals.
I am not voting. Anyone who does so is guaranteeing that the crimes will
never end, no matter who they vote for. The system we live under assures our
political leaders immunity from prosecution for any felony, from murder on down.
Nothing will change so long as people support the system by voting.)
The Plug:
And finally, I undertook a bigger print run of my new book, Save Israel! I
can reduce the price to $25, including postage for at least another month.
So order while the price is as low as I can arrange. Just e-mail me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and a book is on the way to you.
