BUSH'S ISRAELI LOBBY ADVISORS
!
The reality of the situation is that no one in Washington, whether
in the Pentagon (top military brass, joint chiefs, etc) or in
Congress, wants this Israeli proxy war against Iraq. Only those
connected to the Israeli lobby want this war.
It is very important to know the identity of these pro-Israeli
officials
within the administration in order to understand who is behind
this
war-mongering and realizing that is serving Israeli interests,
not American interests.
It is unfortunate that Bush has picked these people to these top
posts. The sad fact for him is that in the instant that he decides
not to go to war against Iraq, the Israeli lobby will bring him
down, like they did to his father, a decade earlier.
Note: The Washington Institute for Near East Policy is one of
the Israeli lobby's "think tank." Many of the Israeli
lobby's "experts" come from this front group, like Martin
Indyk.
1). Richard Perle----One of Bush's foreign policy advisors, he
is the
chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. A very likely
Israeli government agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry
Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency
(NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security)
documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli
weapons firm, Soltam. Perle is one of the leading pro-Israeli
fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within the administration
and now in the media.
2). Paul Wolfowitz----Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of
Perle's Defense Policy Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a
close associate of Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the
Israeli military. His sister lives in Israel. Wolfowitz is the
number two leader within the administration behind this Iraq war
mongering.
3). Douglas Feith----Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor
at the Pentagon. He is a close associate of Perle and served as
his Special Counsel. Like Perle and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel
extremist, who has advocated anti-Arab policies in the past. He
is closely associated with the extremist group, the Zionist Organization
of America, which even attacks Jews that don't agree with its
extremist views. Feith frequently speaks at ZOA conferences. Feith
runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which only has one
International office, in Israel. The majority of their legal work
is
representing Israeli interests. His firm's own website stated,
prior to his appointment, that Feith "represents Israeli
Armaments Manufacturer." Feith basically represents the Israeli
War Machine. Feith, like Perle and Wolfowitz, are campaigning
hard for this Israeli proxy war against Iraq.
4). Edward Luttwak----Member of the National Security Study Group
of the Department of Defence at the Pentagon. Luttwak is reportedly
an Israeli citizen and has taught in Israel. He frequently writes
for Israeli and pro-Israeli newspapers and journals. Luttwak is
an Israeli extremist whose main theme in many of his articles
is the necessity of the U.S. waging war against Iraq.
5). Henry Kissinger-----One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger
sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle. For detailed
information about Kissinger's evil past, read Seymour Hersch's
book (Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House). Kissinger
had a part in the Watergate crimes,
Southeast Asia mass murders, Chile dictatorship, and more recently
served as Serbian Dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Advisor. He consistently
advocates going to war against Iraq. Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon
of the U.S.
6). Dov Zakheim----Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller, and
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for the Department of Defense. He
is an ordained rabbi and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship.
Zakheim attended attended Jew's College in London and became an
ordained Orthodox Jewish Rabbi in 1973. He was adjunct professor
at New York's Jewish Yeshiva University. Zakheim is close to the
Israeli lobby.
7). Kenneth Adelman-----One of many Pentagon Advisors, Adelman
also sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle,
and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supports going
to war against Iraq. Adelman frequently is a guest on Fox News,
and often expresses extremist and often ridiculus anti-Arab and
anti-Muslim views. Through his hatred or stupidity, he actually
called Arabs "anti-Semitic" on Fox News (11/28/2001),
when he
could have looked it up in the dictionary to find out that Arabs
by
definition are Semites.
8). I. Lewis Libby -----Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of
Staff. The chief pro-Israel Jewish advisor to Cheney, it helps
explains why Cheney is so gun-ho to invade Iraq. Libby is longtime
associate of Wolfowitz. Libby was also a lawyer for convicted
felon and Israeli spy Mark Rich, whom Clinton pardoned, in his
last days as president.
9). Robert Satloff----U.S. National Security Council Advisor,
Satloff was the executive director of the Israeli lobby's "think
tank," Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Many of
the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this front group,
like Martin Indyk.
10). Elliott Abrams-----National Security Council Advisor. He
previously worked at Washington-based "Think Tank" Ethics
and Public Policy Center. During the Reagan Adminstration, Abrams
was the Assistant Secretary of State,handling, for the most part,
Latin American affairs. He played an important role in the Iran-Contra
Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran
to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting
to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. He also actively
deceived three congressional committees about his involvement
and thereby
faced felony charges based on his testimony. Abrams pled guilty
in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year's probation
and 100 hours of community service. A year later, former President
Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one of the
more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State
Department.
11). Marc Grossman-----Under Secretary of State for Political
Affairs. He was Director General of the Foreign Service and Director
of Human Resources at the Department of State. Grossman is one
of many of the pro-Israel Jewish officials from the Clinton Administration
that Bush has promoted to higher posts.
12). Richard Haass-----Director of Policy Planning at the State
Department and Ambassador at large. He is also Director of National
Security Programs and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR). He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews
in the first Bush (Sr) Administration who sat on the National
Security Council, and who consistently advocates going
to war against Iraq. Haass is also a member of the Defense Department's
National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.
13). Robert Zoellick-----U.S. Trade Representative, a cabinet-level
position.He is also one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in
the Bush (Jr) Administration who advocated invading Iraq and occupying
a portion of the country in order to set up setting up a Vichy-style
puppet government. He consistently advocates going to war against
Iraq.
14). Ari Fleischer----Official White House Spokesman for the
Bush (Jr) Administration. Prominent in the Jewish community, some
reports state that he holds Israeli citizenship. Fleischer is
closely connected to the extremist Jewish group called the Chabad
Lubavitch Hasidics, who follow the Qabala, and hold very extremist
and insulting views of non-Jews. Fleischer was the co-president
of Chabad's Capitol Jewish Forum. He received the Young
Leadership Award from the American Friends of Lubavitch in October,
2001.
15). James Schlesinger-----One of many Pentagon Advisors, Schlesinger
also sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle and
is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supports going to
war against Iraq. Schlesinger is also a commissioner of the Defense
Department's National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.
16). Mel Sembler-----President of the Export-Import Bank of the
United States. A Prominent Jewish Republican and Former National
Finance Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The Export-Import
Bank facilitates trade relationships between U.S. businesses and
foreign countries, specifically those with financial problems.
17). Michael Chertoff ----Assistant Attorney General for the
Criminal Division, at the Justice Department.
18). Joshua Bolten----Bush's Chief Policy Director, banker and
former legislative aide. Prominent in the Jewish community.

Israeli Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert and often visits Israel to
coach mayors on privatization initiatives.
20). Adam Goldman-----White House's Special Liaison to the Jewish
Community.
21). Joseph Gildenhorn-----Bush Campaign's Special Liaison to
the Jewish Community. He was the DC finance chairman for the Bush
campaign, as well as campaign coordinator, and former ambassador
to Switzerland.
22). Christopher Gersten-----Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary,
Administration for Children and Families at HHS. Gersten was the
former Executive Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition,
Husband of Labor Secretary, Linda Chavez, and reportedly very
pro-Israel. Their children are being raised Jewish.
23). Mark Weinberger-----Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
for Tax Policy.
24). Samuel Bodman-----Deputy Secretary of Commerce. He was the
Chairman and CEO of Cabot Corporation in Boston, Massachusetts.
25). Bonnie Cohen-----Under Secretary of State for Management.
26). Ruth Davis-----Director of Foreign Service Institute, who
reports to the Office of Under Secretary for Management. This
Office is responsible for training all Department of State staff
(including ambassadors).
27). Lincoln Bloomfield-----Assistant Secretary of State for
Political
Military Affairs.
28). Jay Lefkowitz-----General Counsel of the Office of Budget
and
Management.
29). David Frum-----White House speechwriter.
30). Ken Melman-----White House Political Director.
31). Brad Blakeman------White House Director of Scheduling.
32). Colin Powell-----Secretary of State, ex-chairman of Joint
Chiefs of Staff, of Jamaican origin, he has one Jewish ancestor
on his father's side. He grew up in a heavily Jewish-populated
neighborhood in New York, and speaks Yiddish. The first day of
being picked (12/16/2000) he said he wanted to toughen sanctions
on Iraq, and will work to "re-energize the sanctions regime,"
even though he knows the embargo has killed 2 million Iraqi civilians.
Now that Bush has hired these pro-Israel Jewish lobbyists to
the highest positions in the land, they have escalated the fanatical
war-mongering against Iraq, all the while they support the Israeli
war-criminal Sharon in his terrorism and mass-killings of Palestinian
civilians. It seems that the price of the acheiving the White
House involves selling out to the Israeli lobby, much like Clinton,
before him.
There are some hopeful signs coming out of the adminstration,
however. Despite this strong pro-Israeli presence within the administration,
it seems that Bush has not yet jumped on their band-wagon, and
instead is listening to the sensible leaders and advisors, like
the Pentagon's military brass, the U.S. intelligence community,
other groups within the federal government, as well as from America's
friends and allies around the world. No one wants this
war except Israel, its agents, and its lobbies around the world.
The question that remains unanswered is, will the Israeli lobby
use (or
create) some scandal to blackmail Bush into attacking Iraq, like
they used Monica Lewinsky against Clinton to force him to launch
"Operation Desert Fox," in December 1998? Watch how
many of the media outlets and some politicians are blaming Bush
for the all the corporate scandals and the huge recession the
U.S. is going through.
What Bush needs to do is use some common sense, and have some
courage to stand up to these pro-Israel bullies, and act in the
best interests of America, and not Israel. The first act for Bush
should be to replace these pro-Israeli fanatics with patriotic
Americans.
