VP Candidate Joseph Lieberman is a member of the Council On Foreign
Relation (CFR), as are Dick Cheney, and Al Gore. The only candidate not on
the members list is G.W. Bush Jr. who is a member by proxy. His
grandfather Prescott was a CFR pioneer, while dad, George Sr. was an
executive of the accursed cult whose aim is a one world government. With
only 3000 members, it is clear that only CFR members and loyalists may
become President. Last time around the figures were the same, Gore, Dole
and Clinton were CFR members. The story has been similar for the past two
generations.
Rabbi Marvin Antleman has been fighting the CFR for three decades.
In 1972, he submitted a proposal to the Rabbinical Council of America to
condemn the CFR and prevent its members from infiltrating Jewish
institutions. In 1974, his book To Eliminate The Opiate was published.
Long considered a classic in many circles, the book exposed the CFR's
program to wipe out Judaism by planting its members throughout Jewish
media, charitable and educational institutes.
He called last night to tell me that, "I just went through the CFR
roster. Lieberman's name is on the membership list. We're being sold a
bill of goods again."
The CFR's Middle East Task Force Report of July 1996 spells out the
organization's position in no uncertain terms; Israel must return to its
undefendable 1948 borders and Jerusalem is to be divided into two national
capitals. Rabbi Antleman thus doubts the authenticity of Lieberman's
commitment to Orthodox Jewry. "How can you be Orthodox and belong to an
organization which promotes the division of Jerusalem and which, in the
past, has financially backed such irreligious movements as communism and
nazism?" he asks. "The CFR's purpose is to promote and arm violent and
disruptive national movements in order to upset the world's status quo and
replace it with their alternative world order. There is no place within
for a religious Jew unless he is dangerous window dressing."
What that will mean for Israel is more suicidal concessions with
American Jews unable to accuse the administration of being anti-Israel.
The same trick was used in 1972 when CFR executive Henry Kissinger was
named Secretary of State. Equally proud of Kissinger as they are of
Lieberman today, the Jewish community could not accuse the administration
of deliberately trying to eliminate Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973,
nor could they find sinister motives for the isolation of Israel in the
peace process which followed it.
This time around, not only does the current "peace" process get a
boost, so does the Hillary Clinton campaign for a New York senatorial
seat. And the Jews, so excited by Lieberman's nomination, as usual, do not
suspect how cynically they are being set up.
The signs are there for anyone to see. Last year Lieberman welcomed
Arafat to America and even prayed for the success of his mission. And he
initiated a publicized letter to President Clinton nixing any chance of
CFR victim Jonathan Pollard's release from prison. As the Jerusalem Post
noted, Pollard's website has long accused Lieberman of being "a willing
tool of the CIA."
Sooner of later Lieberman's possible dual allegiance to America
and
Israel will become a debating point. Observes Antleman, "And that will
miss the real issue, which is Lieberman's allegiance to the CFR. It will
prove stronger than all his sentimental ties to America, Israel and to
Judaism itself."
Briefs:
A reader writes to correct me on a vital point. I have assumed that Shabak
officer "Yud" or "Y," who the Shamgar Commission of inquiry called the
"security chief" of Rabin's last rally, was Yoram Rubin. Shamgar condemned
his performance and recommended his suspension from the service. Rubin was
head of Rabin's immediate security detail but says the correspondent, Yud
was someone else named Yuval. The writer's friend served in Golani at the
same time as Yigal Amir and Yuval was their commander during an intensive
training course, another vital tie to setting up Amir as the patsy for the
assassination which I will attempt to nail down in time.
Another correspondent notes that the government has lost all restraint and
is exacting revenge on all who stand in its way. Hence the suspension of
seven David Levy appointees and the police investigation of Moshe Katsav's
brother. He warns that vengeance is now policy.
