PERES PROTECTION TAKES A TURN FOR THE WEIRD
by Barry Chamish
Since the very public accusations of two weeks ago, published
in
Yediot Ahronot, that Shimon Peres organized the Rabin assassination
and that Rabin's bodyguard Yoram Rubin did the shooting, a very
determined campaign has taken place to neutralize the charges. I
documented this campaign in my previous posting called Protecting
Peres.
Just three days since that posting, the campaign has turned
desperate and downright bizarre. Look at the article published in
Maariv yesterday (Jan. 5, 2002).
Headline: According To A Book Published By The Cabinet Minister Eli
Yishai's Brother In Law: Amir Is Not The Murderer
"In a book published by Shas Party Chairman Eli Yishai's brother,
Yigal
Amir is portrayed as a patsy. In the book, The Whole Truth, written by
Rabbi Yosef Shashua, a seance is recalled with the late prime
minister, Yitzhak Rabin, during which he identifies his Shabak
bodyguard Yoram Rubin as his murderer. The book was exposed during
last night's Channel Two Program, Tonight With Gabi Gazit.
"Rabbi Shashua, who is married to Shas Chairman and Interior
Minister
Eli Yishai's sister, receives a monthly government stipend of 3000
shekels. The book's forward was written by Shas spiritual leader
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who notes: ' In the name of providing our people
with strength in their hearts, Rabbi Shashua's book, The Whole Truth
proves that we are far from being told the truth and are being led
astray from the holy Torah.'
"In one chapter of the book, a seance with Rabin is conducted at
the
request of David Ben Gurion's daughter Geula Ben Eliezer, who received
messages from Ben Gurion's spirit to conduct it. In the seance Ben
Gurion says, 'I prepared Rabin to be a victim...I warned him about the
conniver (Peres)...There's no Oslo...Rubin murdered Rabin.
"Then Rabin asked the assembled to read his book (Pincas Sherut)
Service Record, because Shimon Peres betrayed him and was a partner in
his murder. During the seance Rabin said, 'Rubin shot the bodyguard
who shouted, 'They're blanks.' He's part of the bigger conspiracy.
Yigal Amir was a victim."
"Shas spokesman Yitzhak Sudri explained that, "The Minister is not
responsible for the activities of his family.'"
Now what's going on here? The seance was conducted five years ago
and
the book has been out for almost half that time. Why is this news now?
Here's how it worked out that way. On Saturday Night, Channel Two
broadcast promos for the Gazit show promising a seance that would
expose Rabin's bodyguard Yoram Rubin. Israel's leading
parapsychologist Hanan Avraham was scheduled to conduct the seance but
he was cancelled at the last moment. Instead, Gazit just talked about
the Shashua book.
Instant scandal. The next day the radio talk shows were abuzz
with
callers reacting to the show. One caller on Radio Two summed up the
overall attitude: "The book's author is an idiot and if Peres doesn't
sue him, he's a bigger idiot." Then came Maariv's report with the
screaming headline that Amir isn't the murderer.
I reported this seance in 1997, and I was the only one to so
bother.
I add, I caught living heck from a lot of readers who thought I was
cheapening my both-feet-on-the-ground research by reporting nonsense.
I replied that I felt there was a legitimate sociological angle to the
event. Here's what I reported:
"I was faxed this confirmation from the magazine Tzahov, popular in
the New Age crowd. Now admittedly, their research is hardly conclusive
but Tsahov reports that Rabin was killed by his bodyguard Yoram Rubin.
How did they reach this left wing extremist conclusion? In typical New
Age fashion; their reporters attended a seance conducted by the
country's leading parapsychologist, Hanan Avraham, in which Rabin was
called back from the land of the dead to attend. Tzahov's editor
Shimon Ashor admits that he was one of those who 'threw away his kippa
after the murder believing that the stupidity and racism of the
religious caused Rabin's death.' Thus he was 'flabbergasted' by
Rabin's comments from the world beyond. Hanan Avraham's method is to
place a cup in the middle of a board surrounded by Hebrew letters.
When Rabin answered, the cup moved from letter to letter. The
reporters saw no physical means for moving the cup and Ashor admits
that 'most thought the cup was moved by the spiritual power of Hanan
Avraham.' Now that the validity of the method was established in New
Age terms, the seance was recorded: Rabin: Yitzhak here. Hanan: Excuse
us, we are all very excited to hear from you. Are you the departed
Prime Minister? Rabin: No need to apologise. Yes, I am. Hanan: Do you
have a message for the people? Rabin: I tried my best to slow things
down and was made to pay for it. My service was terminated. Remember
what I said at Givat Hatakhmoshet in '94? There is no abandoning
Jerusalem. Hanan: What do you mean by `my service was terminated?'
Rabin: Peres. Hanan: What about him? Rabin: He betrayed me... (Hanan
tries to get Rabin to elaborate but his message is confused. So he
tries a new conversation opener." Hanan: Does your friend Ben Gurion
have a message for us? Rabin: Yes. Hanan: Did you give the warning at
Givat Hatakhmoshet that it is forbidden to abandon Jerusalem? Rabin:
Yes. Hanan: Is Ben Gurion beside you? Rabin: Yes. Hanan: Please, our
intentions are good. Ben Gurion: I prepared Yitzhak for sacrifice. I
warned him about intrigue. There is no Oslo. Rubin shot Yitzhak.
Rabin: Dado (the scapegoat for the Yom Kippur War who died most
suspiciously) warned me and so did Skolnik. Both were betrayed also. I
miss my grandson Michael. Hanan: How did you prepare Yitzhak? Ben
Gurion: We knew about the conspiracy. We tried to warn him to prevent
a crisis. There is no Oslo. It is a mistaken Holocaust process. Rabin:
Leah is suffering. She cries for shelter. She too is in a trap from
the highest echelons of the Shabak. Hanan: Who is Skolnick? Skolnick:
I am Skolnick. I am Levi Eshkol (former Prime Minister). I tried to
warn him about the shigitz (Yiddish for cabinet minister). Hanan: Mr.
Rabin, do you have a message for your granddaughter Noa? Rabin: Yes.
She is frightened and confused. Rubin shot the bodyguard who shouted,
`They're blanks, (Yoav Kuriel perhaps). Persky (Peres's original name)
conspires with Satan. He'll do anything to be prime minister." Hanan:
What is your opinion of Yigal Amir (his alleged murderer)? Rabin: A
victim. Hanan: Of whom? Rabin: Of the Shabak and Avishai. (Avishai
Raviv, the Shabak agent provocateur). Hanan: Your friend Ben Gurion
said to stop the peace process. What is the alternative? Rabin: The
peace process is a delusion, the Old Man (Ben Gurion) reckons. Hanan:
Was Yigal Amir the one who shot you? Rabin: No. Hanan: Does Amir know?
Rabin: Yes. Hanan: Who shot you, then? Rabin: The bodyguard. Hanan:
Who gave him the order? Rabin: D. Hanan: Who told you? Rabin. Dado.
Hanan: Did you know the scenario ahead of time? Rabin. Yes. Hanan: So
why didn't you prevent it? Rabin: Because if I did there would be two
choices: military trials and suicides or a dictatorship followed by a
civil war over peace. Tell everyone. Goodbye." At this point the
stunned gathering breaks into tears, all their illusions shattered.
Allow me to say that I am not an advocate of this kind of research.
However, tens of thousands of Israeli New Agers are and the minutes of
this seance are very real to them. They are also citizens of Israel
who now believe that Rabin was murdered in much the same terms that my
worldly research suggests, if not proves. The authenticity of this
feeling is confirmed by Ashor who writes that despite the charges
levelled by Rabin from the other side, 'I am in favour of Peres
continuing the peace process.'"
This seance was conducted in 1996, barely a year after the
assassination. So here is what spooks me. The details are right. It
took me four years to discover that Rabin was murdered after he told
his foreign bosses that he wouldn't carry on with 'peace' process as
it was being conducted. It took me five years to get the goods on
Rubin and Peres. This seance beat us all to the truth by at least
three years.
Nonetheless, I decided to never, ever, ever discuss the seance
ever,
ever, ever again. And that meant sloughing hundreds of inquiries about
it at lectures and over the computer. That's just what I need, to be
associated with ouija boards and the occult, a surefire recipe for
destroying the credibility of my research.
And that's why this story is now going public. Peres' protectors
have
found a formula for diminishing the credibility of the Rabin
researchers, and members of The Public Committee For The
Reinvestigation Of The Rabin Assassination who have been most publicly
implicating Peres and Rubin in Rabin's murder.
Committee chairman Yaacov Verker was overjoyed by the Gazit show
and
the Maariv article.
"Look at the crazy twists the story is taking now. They think they
are
squelching the talk about Peres and Rubin but they're actually
spreading it."
"No," I answered, "They're ridiculing it."
"Then why was Hanan Avraham pulled off the Gazit show? Someone was
worried about what he'd say about Rabin. I know Hanan, he's very
serious. I'm going to follow this up."
"Don't do it. You're falling into the trap."
Needless to say, the determined Yaacov immediately had a long
conversation with Hanan Avraham. Here's what he was going to explain
on the Gazit show:
"Two days before the Rabin assassination, Geula Ben Eliezer
contacted
me. Her father, David Ben Gurion had spoken to her in dreams for the
past few nights. He wanted an urgent meeting. I complied and Ben
Gurion warned her that Peres was plotting against Rabin and his life
was in danger. After the session, she quickly called Rabin and told
him what her father said. He shrugged her off and answered, 'So, I'll
be the victim.'"
And that was just the prologue before he was to speak about the
post-assassination session.
Now you see why I want nothing to do with this latest twist in
the
protection of Peres? This is a highly sophisticated psychological
operation to get Peres off the hook. Who is going to believe any of
this?
Peres is desperate and desperate times call for desperate
measures I
certainly believe the seances took place. Early Labor Zionist leaders
were involved in all kinds of cultic adventures. Rabin was a 32nd
degree Mason and Ben Gurion delved deeply into Buddhism. That Ben
Gurion's daughter communicated to him through dubious spiritual
exercises is no real surprise.
But I'm staying away from the ambush and sticking to thisworldly
evidence.

* The power of modern communications! The little addendum to my last
sendout, about the American government persuading the wife of a Flight
93 victim to go public with a false heroics story got, I think, more
attention than the main article about protecting Peres from
prosecution. The facts sent reveal how the plot most likely took
place. The pregnant wife didn't get the cellphone call from her
husband; she was merely told what he said. The husband, so the tall
tale went, called 911 from the plane and passed the last message to
his wife via a 30ish black female operator. Unfortunately, she didn't
record the call, so had to tell the wife what she recalled. No, the
operator had never heard the husband's voice before, so couldn't be
positive it was him. The wife fell for the plot and agreed to spread
the tale of gallantry on Flight 93, not knowing that she was covering
up the fact that the plane didn't crash land in Pennsylvania; it was
shot down.
* For those who asked what Bush promised the Pakistani government in
exchange for using their country as a staging ground for attacking
Afghanistan: the answer is Kashmir.
