Discord, Deceit And Disinformation
By Barry Chamish
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
2-17-02
It seems like the wrong time to expose how the Council On Foreign
Relations uses discord and deceit to push through its murderous
Israeli agenda. After all, this week it's Europe's turn to get
Israel. The EU's foreign ministers, led by the German cutthroat
Joschka Fischer will meet in Brussels and reward the PLO for its
unrelenting slaughter with a state.
I had prepared an article called The Astonishing Secrets Of Europe's
Plot Against Israel as a prelude to the meeting. Included within was
Fischer's order to PM Sharon not to retaliate after the Dolphinarium
blast, which murdered twenty young people down the block from his Tel
Aviv hotel last summer. But we'll get to Fischer and Europe in the
next installment, once my readers absorb the reality of the upcoming
European plans for Israel.
Instead, circumstances call for an expose of the CFR's use of
disinformation, because I'm a victim of it and I'm getting quite
tired of it all.
In my case, the 3800 member Manhattan think tank is using its pawns
to denigrate me in the American right wing Jewish community, as
illustrated by an attack which was just published in the magazine
outlet of Americans For A Safe Israel. The attack is pathetic and
utilizes the same stupid arguments the attackers have used for the
past two years. Conspiracy theories against Jews and Israel are all
wrong, therefore there could not have been a conspiracy to murder
Yitzhak Rabin. I have written about weird subjects therefore I have
no credibility. And my expose of Rabin's murder has no evidence to
back it up. False claims all of them and, as always, not many readers
will be fooled.
Here is how such a campaign of discordant falsehood is organized. You
start with one CFR member Richard Pipes, who is not just any old CIA
employee but past head of the CIA's Soviet research department. The
apple falls right by the tree as his son, CFR member Daniel Pipes
receives slightly indirect CFR funding to run a "think" tank in
Philadelphia, serving CFR interests. In the recent past, D. Pipes has
been called upon to neutralize "conspiracy" theories and he wrote
inferior articles resulting in an inferior book on the subject.
Today, his role is to spread hatred against Islam, while his CFR
superiors publicly profess no objection to the religion as they blow
Afghanistan to smithereens and draw up battle plans to capture the
Middle East.
Pipes has attacked my work in his institute's barely-read journal but
the real work has been passed to a buddy of his, an unknown economics
teacher based in Haifa. Numerous readers have sent me background on
this creep, and he's just as tied up with the ruling establishment as
his mentor. He was trained, groomed and financed by the American
Federal Reserve, and apparently sent to Israel in the 80s to instill
that peculiar globalist economic theory that insists local economies
must be "reformed" through "liberalization," or in short, local
industries must be wrecked in order to make way for American
corporations.
But as a former colleague of his explained, "He got nowhere. People
in his field saw him as a screwball whose ideas were off the wall. He
was dismissed as irrelevant ten years ago." Trying to be known for
something, he is a willing partner in the smear campaign against me.
Yes, he is an infiltrator sowing discord among right wing American
Jews. And he's not the only one. Others have made the same claim
against one Murray Kahl, whose role seems to be the venting of Jewish
anger towards harmless issues. So let us counterattack against
infiltration with a simply amazing piece of evidence given to me last
week by the director of the Root And Branch Society, Aryeh Gallin.
Up until now, the best proof of the CFR's nefarious Israeli agenda
was their Middle East Task Force Report of July, 1997, which, in
barely couched terms, called for Israel's withdrawal to its 1948
borders and the division of Jerusalem. That task force was headed by
one Henry Seigman, who receives $200,000 a year from the EU to spread
anti-Israel disinformation in the world media. That fact was intended
for my Astonishing EU Secrets article but let's let one cat out of
the bag early.
Now, we have in hand an even more detailed proof of CFR chicanery
against Israel in the form of a whole study called A Changing Israel
by Peter Grose - A Council On Foreign Relations Book. This book was
published by Vintage Books in 1984. It is a CFR policy book and
thereafter became the official diplomacy of such CFR members as James
Baker, George Shultz, Warren Christopher, Bill Clinton and Madeleine
Albright. Like all CFR publications, it tries hard to appear to be
balanced but upon, even the most cursory reading, comes up a
transparent piece of deception. The author's method is to relay his
views and those of his CFR bosses, through the quotes of others,
almost always anonymously.
Look at the claims of the preface: "The author of this book, director
of the Council's Middle East program, visited Israel twice during the
study to confirm facts and impressions... A generous grant from the
Ford Foundation underwrote the costs of bringing Israeli discussion
leaders to this country...The groups were deliberately diverse..."
Diverse? A list of some fifty discussion leaders follows. I saw one
name that I recognized as a right wing leader, Eliahu Ben Elissar,
who was assassinated in Paris a few years ago. All the rest were of
the likes of Meron Benvenesti, recipient of Ford Foundation money
during this period to head a West Bank anti-settlement watchdog
group: Arthur Hertzberg, a rabbi and partner of CFR member Charles
Bronfman, best known in certain circles for their work with the UN to
spread a one world religion; Samuel Lewis, the former American
ambassador to Israel and recent signer of a petition less than
indirectly supporting Arafat's regime of terror; Itamar Rabinovich,
the Israeli diplomat who negotiated away the Golan Heights to Syria;
and a man who needs no introduction in war-torn former Yugoslavia or
anywhere, Cyrus Vance.
Of the Vance connection, let's look at the author's short
biography: "Peter Grose is managing editor of Foreign Affairs and a
Senior Fellow of the Council On Foreign Relations. A longtime
correspondent for the New York Times; he was bureau chief in Moscow,
Israel and at the United Nations and later served on the Policy
Planning Staff of the State Department under Cyrus Vance."
Now let us look at this study and get a rare glimpse at the CFR's
Israeli agenda.
THE CFR'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS ISRAELIS
If you are a member of any political group from Labor to its left,
you are described as "thoughtful" or at the worst, "dovish." Take a
gander at the adjectives if you are not:
"Those espousing the more militant ideologies of the Likud...allowed
adventurist leaders to pursue a ruinous, inflationary economic
policy..." pp 4
"They told me their dismay over the hard-line policies of the Likud
government...and the danger for the future survival of Israel." pp 6-7
"...the fanatic rabbi Meir Kahane, considered an abomination by
moderate Israelis." pp 9
"As Begin's rhetoric unfolded, his dogmatic assertions about Jewish
rights and Arab perfidy sounded clear and satisfying (to Sephardi
Jews)." pp 28 But the good news is that, "Sephardi soldiers returned
from the 1982 invasion of Lebanon expressing the same disgust as
their Ashkenazi partners." pp 40
"Gaining strength along with this generalized rediscovery of Jewish
roots was its extremist expression..." pp 44
"Secular Israelis are troubled by the appeal of the narrow,
traditionally religious Jewish radicals, particularly to the young."
pp 127
There you have it. Israelis to the right of Labor are all extremists
and endanger Israel's future. Of course, Grose could not have known
that the people who would eventually endanger Israel's future are
the "moderates" of Labor-left who brought us the dubious gifts of the
CFR's Oslo "peace" process eight years later. After all, Grose, was
merely a tool, preparing the ground for later public acceptance of
Oslo. Or maybe, he actually knew what he was doing, which means he is
personally responsible for thousands of Jewish and Arab casualties.
SHARON AND THE CFR
Sharon's CFR ties have previously been examined in depth. They began
in 1974 with a meeting between him and Henry Kissinger. His role was
to infiltrate and destroy the Herut movement and he succeeded nearly
completely. However, according to this study, Sharon rebelled against
the CFR in 1982 with his Lebanon policies. I would take the following
passages with a grain of salt and consider the likelihood that Sharon
was actually pursuing the war the way his masters desired.
Nonetheless, examine the CFR's attitude to the current prime minister
in light of his impotence to protect his people.
"Dissent reached a critical level over the military campaign in
Lebanon, a war undertaken at Israel's initiative, under dubious
political controls and for aims far broader than merely to counter
any immediate threats to the life of the population." pp 90. So while
Grose conveniently forgets that a constant barrage of Katyushas
threatening lives, along with a series of terror attacks from
Lebanon, taking lives, was the prime reason for the Lebanese
invasion, it offers him the opportunity to go for Sharon's
jugular. "The political leadership, supposedly operating under a
system of collective responsibility, was manipulated during the weeks
of combat by one member, Defense Minister Ariel Sharon. Begin and his
colleagues were kept substantially in the dark about crucial military
decisions until it was too late to alter them." pp 92. On this point
we agree, the difference is my claim that one of Sharon's goals was
to destroy Begin and his Herut movement through his conduct of the
war; a pre-agreed CFR policy. This is the belief, minus the CFR, of
Begin's son, Binyamin. Still, Grose's wrath knows no bounds when it
comes to Sharon's doctrine of defense.
"Sharon's bold strategic doctrine rested on four premises:
- The concept of strategic defense aimed at altering the political
status quo on Israel's borders, was to replace the longstanding
posture which had been intended to maintain the status quo.
- Military operations were to be initiated whenever targets of
opportunity presented themselves; national survival required the
dulling of enemy capabilities.
- Tsahal's central mission was to keep hostile forces off balance by
initiating anti-terrorist operations, rather than maintaining a
defensive stance to counter basic threats to the Jewish state.
- The government was to maintain the capability to make strategic
decisions quickly, based on the judgments of the responsible military
and security officers, without necessarily seeking national
consensus...
"For all the traumas of Lebanon, the Sharon doctrine is not
universally discredited, particularly among the hard-line extremists
who registered such a strong showing in the 1984 election. Sharon is
not spent as a political force...Israelis pride themselves on greater
sensitivity to casualties than Arabs, but the offensive operations
called for under Sharon would inevitably produce higher casualties."
pp 99-100
"Military cooperation would grow less defensible in Washington, of
course, were Israel to continue the adventurist, military policies of
the Sharon doctrine." pp 116
Imagine the nerve of this Sharon! He actually favored taking out
Israel's enemies before they murder Israelis. Well, the CFR had to
put a stop to this. And they did. Sharon has a thousand more reasons
to invade the PLO Authority than he ever did to enter Lebanon but he
is incapable of acting. His CFR masters clearly wouldn't like it if
he did and one can only imagine what is making him obey them.
Meanwhile, the CFR restraint option is producing the desired effect;
Israeli casualties are far higher than would have been if the so-
called intifada had been forcefully nipped in the bud the minute the
Israeli public gave Sharon the mandate to do so. The Grose book
states without hesitation or shame that the CFR would never allow
Sharon again to change the status quo through pre-emptive strikes.
>From now on, Sharon could only react and retaliate, and moderately at
that, thus turning Israelis into the sitting ducks of the CFR.
THE GRAND DECEIT
Of all the self-serving chutzpah seen in various CFR publications,
none is more outstanding than Grose's total denial that international
forces are coordinating the Middle East violence. Forget that after
Word War 1, the CFR and their British buddies created the new Middle
East. Forget that Labor Zionism was their creation, as was the never
before heard of Palestinian Arab nation. Why recall that their oil
companies run Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States and placed the Hussein
clan in power in Jordan and Iraq?
Absolutely incredibly, Grose denies that the current conflict is
being manipulated by the very forces he works for and this lie may
have been a primary motive for his book. However, this claim is so
shabby and shallow that he contradicts it more often than he supports
it. Watch the argument break down before your eyes.
"For generations the people on both sides have deceived themselves
into supposing that the conflict was external to themselves, the
clash of foreign forces...A quite different prospect could emerge if
the two sides recognized how mutually destructive that portrayal has
been through the twentieth century. Forces external to Palestine have
clearly manipulated the rivalry of the two claimants to the land, but
can it honestly be said that the rivalry originates with outsiders?
Israelis and Palestinians might well consider the hypothesis that
they only have themselves to reckon with." pp 79
"Looking upon the Arab-Israeli reality in this new light, as an
internal conflict, the concerned outsider can be excused for feeling
like a latter-day Dr. Zhivago, watching a revolution that passed him
by. Ideologues on all sides continue to bewail the malignant
influence of external forces on Arab-Israeli relations...Problems
could always be blamed on external forces intent on stirring up
trouble." pp 87,88
Now watch Grose cut his own ridiculous thesis into pieces before your
unbelieving eyes.
"The policy of the British Mandate administration starting in the
1920s, underscored the two communities' habits of separate
development. The Mandate was committed to 'putting into effect the
Balfour Declaration and to establishing a Jewish Agency' which would
represent 'all the Jews' the world over. Externalization was thus
enshrined in international law." pp 80
"The only outlet for national expression was within the new diaspora
of Palestinian refugees, with its strange mixture of internationally
supported charities and its obsessive military structure."
Nosiree. Those British and those international charities aren't
initiating trouble in the Middle East. Nobody outside the region
would want to do that. After all, what's there to gain by constant
conflict except control of the region and all its resources?
THE CFR'S ISRAELI AGENDA EXPOSED AND IT'S ABOUT TIME IT WAS UNDERSTOOD
The importance of the Grose book is that it exposes the CFR's plans
from the 1980s. Look how they all came to fruition in the 1990s and
then realize that they and the State Department they control are
directly and deliberately responsible for the slow bleeding death of
Israel at the start of the new century.
"The state of the Israeli economy is no longer a purely internal
matter left to Israeli politicians. It is increasingly the American
Treasury that underwrites the economic priorities defined in
Jerusalem. This is a situation calling for serious, quiet
professional dialogue among friends, and with Shimon Peres' visit to
Washington, the dialogue has begun." pp 70
"It is the attitudes in Washington that do the most to assure the
security and well-being of the people and land of Israel." pp 111
"Israelis have not found the costs of territorial expansion too high
a price to pay. This could change if the Arabs within Israeli
jurisdiction become restive or if the financial burden of developing
Jewish life in Judea and Samaria starts to divert too much of the
national treasure away from social needs." pp 88
"Israel must have the legal and territorial basis, it is argued, for
military action to assure the continued demilitarization of the West
Bank and Gaza. No Arab armor, artillery or missile batteries are to
be deployed in any surrendered territories. There is obviously little
room in this concept for an independent sovereign Palestinian state."
pp 97
"A way has to be found to differentiate convincingly between a stance
of firm support for Israel and a readiness to support whatever the
Israeli government of the day advocates...A proposal to move the
United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is an example of an
irresponsible and foolish litmus test. Its sole impact (would be) to
spread mischief and ill-feeling." pp 118-119
"The settlement budget, though small, is vulnerable in any drive to
cut overall government spending and will be wound down in the coming
years." pp 119
"The extended borders reached in 1967 may well hold firm for a long
time to come, in the absence of effective pressures from any source
to change them...Even the broader Palestinian question, for all its
emotional and humanitarian force, is important to US foreign policy
only because its potential for spreading a populist instability
throughout a strategic quarter of the world." pp 123-24
"Another war would certainly change the equation; a significant
increase in the level of violence along Israel's extended frontiers
would increase the costs of prolonged occupation. Opportunities for
diplomatic maneuver could arise...The United States, a would-be
mediator, must be ready to move fast in response to changing
circumstances, even if it is not called upon to initiate a diplomatic
process. pp 124-125
And there is the CFR plan in a nutshell. To force Israel's removal
from its defensive positions, a fully armed PLO state must start a
war. Once the violence reaches a critical point, the US and its CFR
Secretary Of State will negotiate an end to the conflict which will
include the removal of all Jews from the Golan Heights, Jordan
Valley, Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Give the CFR some credit, they are
good to their word. And if Israelis don't wake up mighty fast to
their plans, they are going to find out just what their word means. A
good starting point would be for Israelis to totally boycott all
members of the CFR, starting with such American Jewish leaders as
Bronfman, Lauder, Hoenlin, Zuckerman, and Seigman.
We are all suffering from their infiltration and it's time to
say, 'enough'. ___
Notice:
Last week, The Public Committee For The Reinvestigation Of The Rabin
Assassination met to discuss two issues: A slander suit against
Yediot Ahronot and the building of an extended web site.
The suit against Yediot, Israel's largest newspaper, is based on a
six page article they published last month accusing members of the
committee of "dancing on Rabin's blood" and calling them "double
murderers." A law suit forcing the newspaper to prove these claims
are true might well open the whole Rabin murder in a court of law.
The committee members agreed that the suit was their first priority.
Attorney Nitzana Darshan-Leitner explained the issues to us and
suggested that I be excluded from the list of plaintiffs because I'm
too easy a target. The plaintiffs in the suit will be Professors
Arieh Zaritsky and Hillel Weiss and Dr. David Chen, who is also a
Lieut. General in the IDF reserves.
The costs of the suit are not inconsiderable, legal fees alone will
be $2000 before court costs, and the committee agreed that members
with newsgroups; Arieh Zaritsky's Professors For A Strong Israel,
Arieh Gallin's Root and Branch Society and my unnamed readers list
will send out a request for donations.
All bank transfers will be handled by the respected accountant and
chairman of the committee Yaacov Verker. To donate, please transfer
funds to the account of Mr. Verker: Bank Discount, Tel Ganim, Branch
number 007, Account number 127566.
The talented web designer Iris Mersel volunteered to take a month
from her regular job just to design our site. That's how much she is
willing to sacrifice for the truth. The committee members agreed that
was too much to ask. Her plan was, initially, to produce an archive
of every piece of evidence in the Rabin murder case. In the end, a
more modest plan was adopted. The most important documents will be
presented along with explanations in English, Hebrew and Russian.
Daily news updates on the Israeli situation will be presented along
with the Rabin archive in order to increase traffic. If all goes as
planned, the web site will reach hundreds of thousands of Israelis
and turn the corner, finally, on the search for the truth behind the
murder. After that, we start on saving the nation.
The main costs are Iris Mersel's work, as well as that of the
translators and the site itself. One anonymous donor, a brave
patriot, has sent a check to Iris for $500 to begin the project. The
more that can be raised, the bigger the site that can be built.
Donators are invited to support the site by transferring funds to
Chamish, Bank Leumi, Modiin, Branch number 680, Account number
11782/71. All transactions will be recorded by Mr. Verker.
Unless you choose to be shy and anonymous, you are requested to
inform Mr. Verker of your very kind contribution by writing him at
