Лев Гунин - ГУЛаг Палестины
essay. The first paragraph of the story is:
During Nazi breakthrough at Bastogne last December the Germans managed to smuggle
some of their intelligence officers behind U.S. lines. Three of these spies were
captured, tried and shot. Last week the War Department released pictures on this and
the following pages, taken by LIFE Photographer Johnny Florea, which show their
speedy execution. (p. 47)
One Simon Wiesenthal drawing, 1946
Enclosed you will also find a photocopy of one of your drawings, signed "SWiesenthal," from p. 64 of your 1946 book of
drawings KZ Mauthausen showing three individuals in striped uniforms, tied to stakes, and apparently either
unconscious or executed. As your book is dedicated to depicting the suffering of Jews at the hands of the Nazis at
the Mauthausen concentration camp, and as your caption indicates that the drawing depicts victims of Nazi torture, the
reader is encouraged to the conclusion that the drawing represents a scene witnessed by yourself of Jews tortured to
the point of unconsciousness or executed by Nazis at Mauthausen.
However, the similarity between the three individuals shown in the 1945 LIFE magazine photographs and in your 1946 KZ
Mauthausen drawing is striking and unmistakable, and suggests the alternative conclusion that you copied the LIFE
magazine photographs, added striped uniforms to the victims, and then misattributed the result.
Questions
I would appreciate your answering the following three questions:
(1) How do you explain the similarity between the LIFE magazine photographs and your drawing?
(2) Do you not feel it appropriate at this time to issue a retraction of the misattribution of your KZ Mauthausen
drawing?
(3) Might it not be even more appropriate to issue a similar retraction of your more extreme, more recent, and more
damaging reversal of victim and victimizer in the case of the pre-German Lviv massacre of 1941?
Yours truly,
Lubomyr Prytulak
2. Israel-Jewish Diaspora World-Wide criminal activity
(Jewish extremists lobbism is behind the cover up of the Israel-related criminal activity world wide and money laundering)
Hassidic Jews in New York yeshivas are among the top money launderers in the world. They use the cloak of religion to hide their work and they use Israel's
exclusively Jewish immigration policy (the "law of return") to escape U.S. justice by relocating to Israel. One of these Hassidic Jews candidly admitted that as
long as it benefitted "their community" it didn't matter whether money was laundered.
The article is interesting in that demonstrates another example of the age-old problem of Jewish loyalty being to "Jews first" rather than their country of
residence. It also shows how can Jews benefit from and get away with crimes due to Israel's exclusive immigration policy which allows Jewish criminals to
escape U.S. prosecution by fleeing to Israel (and in most cases, with &&&&=the money). The U.S. government -- ever beholden to Jewish influence and Jewish
interest as always -- dare not extradite them.
It is amazing how these Jewish criminals can exploit America and then escape its laws by recourse to an immigration policy which Jews claim is "racist" for
every other country but Israel (!)
New York's 47th Street : Maariv, September 2, 1994 By Ben Kaspit, the New York correspondent
Rabbi Yosef Crozet fell because of his big mouth. "I launder money, a lot of money," he once told an acquaintance. "Every day I take $300,000 from 47th
Street in Manhattan, bring it to the synagogue, give a receipt and then take a commission." The man who heard that story from Crozer was, how sad, an
undercover Jewish agent of the US agency for fighting drugs, DEA.
A month later, in February 1990, Crozer was arrested by agents on his way from 47th Street to Brooklyn. They found on him prayer books, five passports
and also $280,000 in cash in the trunk of his car. He traveled that route every day. He would arrive at the gold trading office on 47th Street in the afternoon,
and leave a little later, carrying suitcases and bags loaded with cash. From there he drove to the Hessed Ve'Tzadaka ["Mercy and Charity"] synagogue in
Brooklyn which had been turned into a laundry for millions of dollars, the revenue from drug sales in the New York area.
That was how Crozer made his living. Assuming that the commission for laundering money ranged in the area of 2% to 6%, Rabbi Crozet can be presumed
not to have suffered from hunger. The investigators who questioned him faced a simple task.
A respectable and pious jew who never imagined that he would be interrogated, a son of a highly respected rabbi who headed a large yeshiva in city of New
Square, Crozer broke down and cooperated. But then his lawyer, Stanley Lupkin, argued that his client, a pious Jew, had no idea that he was laundering
drug money. Crozer, according to his lawyer, believed that he was laundering money for a Jewish diamond trader .'who trades in cash" and not for Gentile
drug traders and was using the situation to make some extra money, for his synagogue.
It seems that this argument had some effect since Crozer was sentenced to one year and one days imprisonment. In exchange for a lenient science, he
supplied his interrogators with valuable information which helped them to capture a person whom they had been seeking for a long time: Avraham Sharir,
another pious Jew, the owner of a gold trading office on 47th Street, who was really one of the biggest sharks for laundering drug money in New York City.
Sharir, an Israeli Jew aged about 45, to whom we will later return, subsequently confessed to having laundered $200 million for the Colombian drug cartel of
Kali.
The drug trade is considered to be the most profitable branch of crime in the world. The profit margin ranges in the area of 200% for cocaine and 1,200% for
heroin. The amounts of money laundered in the trading office are larger than the budgets of many small states. The temptation is great. The main problem of
the Colombian drug barons who control a significant part of world drug trade is how to get rid of the money. It is a problem of the rich but a nagging one.
Two major Colombian drug cartels operate in the US - the Kali cartel and the Medellin cartel.
The killing of the head of the Medellin cartel, Pablo Escovar, by the Colombian authorities in December 1993 greatly weakened this cartel which had
controlled the drug trade in the New York area. The Kali people, in contrast, hold a monopoly over the Los Angeles and Miami area markets. At present,
the Kali people distribute about 80 per cent of the world's cocaine and a third of the heroin- The Kali drug cartel makes $25 billion each year within the US
alone. The money must somehow be shipped out of the US without arousing the attention of the American authorities. Besides, the cash must be given a seal
of approval and, one way or another, become legitimized.
Around this complex issue a mega-business has sprung up - laundering and smuggling drug money. American customs investigators have found millions of
dollars in containers supposed to have contained dried peas, in double-sided gas tanks, in steel boxes attached to freight ships. In 1990 they found $14
million in cash in a shipment of cables, supposed to have been sent from a Long Island warehouse to Colombia.
According to records found on the site, that was shipment No. 234 (multiplied by 14 million, calculate it yourselves). The same year, at Kennedy Airport, in a
warehouse, 26 large containers were found which were supposed to have contained bull sperm. The latter was not there but there were $6.5 million. In May
of this year American investigators raided a bowling ball plant in Long Island. They picked up the balls, cut them in half and found within them $210,000 in
used $100 bills.
Despite their active imaginations, the drug barons find it hard to keep up. $25 billion is a lot of money and it must fill a lot of space since most of the money
gained in drug deals comes in bills of $10 to $20. And that is how the match was made between the drug cartels and 47th Street in Manhattan.
This street is the world center for trading diamonds, gold, jewels and precious stones. Hundreds of businesses are crowded in there, between Fifth and Sixth
Avenues. Shops, businesses, display halls. In the back rooms and on the top floors, far from public access, the action takes place. That is where the major
traders sit, and that is where the deals are made. Diamonds, gold and jewels pass from hand to hand with a handshake. The frantic activity there offers an
ideal cover for illegal transfers of money. "In fact, even legitimate business appears, on 47th Street, to be dark and mysterious," said a customs official.
"Merchandise arrives constantly, boxes, suitcases and packages are constantly opened, everything arrives in armored cars, under heavy security and a shield
of secrecy. Now, go find the black money."
"The match between the drug barons and 47th Street," an American customs investigator told [email protected], "is ideal. The gold and diamonds industry circulates
large amounts of cash. The diamond traders are accustomed to transporting large amounts of money in cash, from one state to another, efficiently and without
leaving a trace, Large amounts of money pass from hand to hand on 47th Street, without arousing suspicion.
"A diamond trader might launder $5 million every day without arousing special attention. it is difficult to monitor the deals, to locate the sources of the money
and it is very difficult to infiltrate that closed field, which is based on personal acquaintance and trust."
Added to it is the fact that in the course of the past five years, the diamond industry on 47th Street has been in a deep slump, which put many traders into
bankruptcy. "A trader like that," said an investigator, "faces the choice of bankruptcy or making easy, quick and relatively safe money. Not everyone is strong
enough to withstand the temptation."
All of that would not have been of interest to us if not for the massive Israeli and Jewish presence on 47th Street. "At least 50% of the diamond traders there
are Israelis," so an Israeli diamond merchant, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Maariv. "Not a few Israelis also operate in the field of jewels, precious
stones and gold. All of them came to New York to make fast money, conquer the market, get their big break. Not all of them have succeeded, especially not
recently." But the Jewish presence on 47th Street is much greater than that.
Experts in the field estimate that 75% to 80% of the active traders on the street are Jews. A large number of them are very pious Orthodox Jews, mainly
Hassids. There is also a respectable representation of Jews from Iran and Syria, usually also very pious. One can get along fine in Hebrew on 47th Street.
There are many more kosher restaurants in the area than in all of Tel Aviv. The place is also the biggest laundry for drug money in the US.
The expansion of the phenomenon of laundering drug money in the US in general, and on 47th Street in particular, led to the establishment of a special
American task force to combat the phenomenon. The unit is called Eldorado, after the mythical South American city of gold. It is staffed with 200 agents,
officials of the US customs and internal revenue agencies. Eldorado, established in April 1990, investigates the money- laundering in general. Fifty of its
agents dedicate their time just to 47th Street.
"It is work that demands tremendous manpower," said Robert Van Attan, an Eldorado officer, "since the money has to be monitored along the length and
breadth of the continent, sometimes also abroad." The target of the Eldorado agents is money, and money alone. They are not interested in drug imports, drug
deals or drug dealers. "We want to put our hands on the money. To hit their pockets," say members of the unit.
The task is difficult. In America there is no law that prohibits possessing money. On the other hand, when a large amount of cash is found in the possession of
a launderer, the agents confiscate the money. If the person can prove that the source of the money was legitimate, he gets it back. That does not happen.
The launderers are experienced. When one of them is caught and several million dollars are found in his possession, he willingly hands over the money, but
asks for a receipt. "The money is not mine. I want you to confirm that you took it," is the common request. Incidentally, their lives depend on that receipt. It is
not a simple matter to trail them. The eyes of a typical launderer are glued to his rear-view mirror. He makes sudden stops, moves from one lane to another,
chooses long and twisted routes from one place to another. Eldorado has an answer.
The investigators follow their targets with eight, ten, sometimes twelve vehicles. If necessary they use one or two helicopters. There is also sophisticated
equipment, the wonders of American technology in the fields of tapping, surveillance and code-breaking. In the first two years of its operations, Eldorado
captured $60 million and arrested 120 launderers. Compared to the scope of overall laundering, that is peanuts. "That is not the point," say the Eldorado
agents. "Obviously, it is impossible, with the existing legal restrictions, to put an end to the phenomenon. Our warfare is psychological."
Incidentally, Eldorado is not the only agency combating money-laundering. The DEA, the American Drug Enforcement Agency, and the FBI, also conduct
lively activity in that field. Not always is this activity coordinated.
In recent months the Eldorado agents discovered a new center of operations. It is called The Cocaine Triangle. Its sides are Colombian drug barons,
Israeli-Jewisli money launderers and Jewish-Russian mafiosi. The Colombians funnel the money, the Israelis launder it, the Russian mafiosi (who have recently
overrun New York in droves) provide the security and the muscle. A New York journalist recently told Maariv: "The Israeli Jews are ataining notoriety in the
money- laundering market. You need only look at the list of arrests and the indictments of the past 3-4 years, in order to grasp the enormous scope of Israeli
involvement in this field."
One reason for the growing power of the Jews in the business of laundering drug money is the Law of Return with its easy possibility of escape to Israel. In
May 1993, five members of the Jewish international laundering ring which had worked with the Kali cartel were arrested. The ring was exposed following an
FBI "sting" operation, as part of which it established a dummy corporation called Prism, which served the gang for laundering money.
