Two others, >also half a world apart and dating back several years, serve to confirm it. > >In Israel, a brave investigative journalist, Barry Chamish, who exposed >what he believed was a conspiracy to murder Yitzhak Rabin, threw in the >towel after receiving warnings and death threats. His main beef - not >enough other brave "Davids" willing to join him (see his "I quit" letter >below). > >"There is no one in a position of authority to turn to," he writes. "I am >saddened by the fact that not one person with inside influence has the >courage to expose the coverup. My leaders have abandoned all pretense of >integrity and I am alone." > >In Australia, a brave member of Parliament, Pauline Hanson, a former >Queensland businesswoman who became a champion of patriotic Australians >last year, was gored by the globalist establishment media - also after >receiving numerous death threats. Not the quitting kind, however, this >modern-day Joan of Arc took on the Speaker in the Australian Parliament >last week - and won. The Speaker had tried to make her withdraw some of >her feisty remarks critical of the establishment politicians. Ever since, >the Australian media have been trying to bury her as a political force to >be reckoned with. > >In Russia, the world first heard the name Vladimir Zhirinovsky in the fall >of 1993, when this Russian patriot stunned the NWO Goliath by outpolling >his "reformist" politicians in the vote for the Duma (the Russian >Parliament). Immediately, the NWO "Agitprop" (Agitation and Propaganda >department) machine went into overdrive, trying to paint Zhirinovsky as a >dangerous "ultra-nationalist" (as if being a nationalist, i.e., a patriot, >was something inherently bad?). > >In the U.S., the same fate befell Pat Buchanan who suddenly became a >dangerous populist after taking the lead in the polls in February 1996 >during the Republican Primaries. Dangerous to the NWO Goliath, that is, >certainly not to the majority of Americans for whose rights and interests >Buchanan fought. > >------ > >Meanwhile, back in Australia, it all started on Nov. 25 with a video which >Hanson had taped in case she were assassinated. "Fellow Australians, if >you are seeing me now, it means that I have been murdered," she said in the >12-minute video. "For the sake of our children and our children's >children, you must fight on. Do not let my passing distract you for one >moment. We must go forward together as Australians. Our country is at >stake." > >These dramatic words have evidently driven a large stake into the hearts of >the bland, colorless globalist aliens to whom any idea of earthly >patriotism is anathema. They seized the chance to ridicule Hanson, and >suggest that she is already dead (politically speaking). According to the >Australian establishment media, the popularity of her party - One Nation - >founded earlier this year, has dropped from a high of 9% in May, to about >half that, THE AUSTRALIAN reported on Nov. 25. > >Seeing Hanson's face on the front pages of the local establishment press, >listening to attacks on her by both the Liberal and Labor members of >parliament (i.e., supposedly the Right and Left in Australia, yet both the >NWO Goliaths lapdogs, just as the Democrats and the Republicans are in the >U.S), one cannot help but recall how a similar pack of NWO hyenas - from >the Wall Street Journal (supposedly the Right) to the New York Times >(supposedly the Left) united to gore Buchanan almost two years ago. > >How can "coincidences" like that occur in four independent and sovereign >countries (Israel, Australia, Russia, America) each of which bearing the >unmistakable imprints of the same NWO Goliath? Only one logical >explanation comes to mind: These are no longer independent and sovereign >countries, all trappings and appearances to the contrary notwithstanding. > >Bob Dj. > >---------- > >Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 14:32:14 +0200 (IST) > >I ACCUSE THE ISRAELI MEDIA OF BEING WILLING ACCOMPLICES >IN A MURDER COVERUP > >By Barry Chamish > >The mainstream Israeli media are deliberately aiding and abetting the >murderers of Yitzhak Rabin. They are knowingly withholding evidence from >the public and are criminally liable as accomplices to murder. > >While second tier media such as Hatsofe, Kol Hashavuah, Arutz Sheva and >Makor Rishon have finally released vital documentation proving that the >government's version of the Rabin assassination is an obvious >misrepresentation of reality, the major influences on Israeli opinion >including Haaretz, Maariv, Yediot Ahronot, television channels One and Two >and all state-run radio stations are willfully engaged in an expensive and >time-consuming con job to keep the truth from the Israeli people. > >For a week and a half, between Nov. 4 and 12, the Gregorian and Hebrew >dates of the anniversary of the murder, the Israeli public was subjected to >a virtual flood of disinformation. For two of the days, nearly all other >television programming was cancelled, replaced with uninterrupted images of >Rabin in the mythical pose chosen to obfuscate the real events of his demise. > >A case in point of many: the memorial service held in Rabin's honor at the >square now named after him in Tel Aviv. The crowd of 100,000 was described >as "the largest gathering in Israeli history" throughout the media when it >barely qualified. The largest crowds of 250,000 and 200,000 gathered in the >wake of the Sabra and Shatilla massacre in 1982 and in Jerusalem to protest >Rabin's policies barely a month before his murder. > >Lie number one, but not the big lie. That was uttered by Peres and Barak >who declared that Rabin was not "murdered by blank bullets" as "Hatsofe >will have us believe." > >The week before, Hatsofe had published six pages outlining the physical and >circumstantial evidence which far more than indicated that Yigal Amir could >not have shot the fatal bullets and that the Shabak was deeply implicated >in the murder. The least consequential article was an overview of a >fictional work called Srak by Uri Barkan, which concluded that Peres was >involved in the assassination. Hatsofe called the book, "outrageous." > >So with Hatsofe finally publishing the same damning police and hospital >reports which I have been presenting to audiences for about a year, the >media went into full-scale damage control. The strategy was diversion: the >whole issue was turned into Hatsofe's "blood libel against Peres." Nothing >else was to be even whispered. The media succeeeded in drowning out the >proof...And I claim they knew what they were doing. They conspired >todestroy evidence by ignoring it, dismissing it or in the rare moments >when worse came to worse, by mocking it. > >A case in point. I was invited to appear on Channel One's prime time talk >show, Popolitika on October 30. I was called by a researcher ten days >before and supplied her with my documentation. Within a week, the show had >expanded to include two other journalists who had concluded that a >conspiracy had to have been at work in the Rabin assassination. We were all >cancelled the day before the show was to air. > >I have strong testimony from friends of Politika staff that the following >took place: I was originally invited to be humiliated and thus put the >conspiracy theory to rest once and for all. But as soon as the researchers >understood the issue, as one insider informed me, "They realized you had >serious evidence. Even the most radical left wingers concluded that you >were right." And that was a point of view that Moti Kirschenbaum, appointed >by Rabin as Channel One's general manager ordered withdrawn from the air. > >A week later I was invited to appear on Tik Tikshoret, hosted by an >irresponsible Army Radio broadcaster, Razi Barkai, who had led some of the >most vicious slanders against me. This time I would not be fooled. I wanted >to know what the subject of the show was. It was incitement. I got it: I'd >be presented as an inciter. I said my condition for appearing would be a >fair showing of my documentation. The phone line was cut off. > >Fair is not a word the Israeli media uses when busy at work deceiving the >public about how Rabin died or who was involved in the death. I know of one >instance of a reporter at Maariv who wanted to publish some of the >contradictions between the Amir court protocols and the Shamgar Comission >findings. His editor informed them that Maariv would never publish the >story and that his job was at stake if he pursued the issue. I know other >reporters who interviewed me, seemed to be convinced that I had a case, and >never had their articles published. I know that the legal department of >Yediot Ahronot intervened to stop publication of an article about my >findings in one of their subsidiary newspapers. > >Last April 30, a riot was organized outside my lecture at Hebrew >University. The media followed up with front page character assassination >labelling me a radical right winger, fascist, Holocaust denier, member of >organized crime and outside agitator who doesn't live in Israel. All lies. >I live a rather conventional lifestyle, expose the corruption of the >Israeli political Right in my writing along with the Left, have no criminal >record, have lived in Israel for 23 years and mourn the loss of a third of >my family in the Holocaust. > >Not one word about me in the mainstream media was the truth. A campaign of >character assassination was mounted back then to neutralize my work. But it >didn't work. Today 31% of Israelis dispute or doubt the official version of >the Rabin assassination and that same figure was confirmed in polls >conducted for Makor Rishon and Maariv. So the campaign was stepped up to >smother the facts. > >The next strategy was obfuscation and redirection. As of early November, >the whole conspiracy became the Shabak provocateur Avishai Raviv. When the >word conspiracy was used by the establishment media, it did not mean a >combination of medical, police, court records and contradicting eye-witness >testimony leading to the conclusion that Rabin could not possibly or >physically have been shot fatally by Yigal Amir. Instead,conspiracy meant >the real role of the "renegade Shabak informer," Raviv. > >Three days ago I spoke the attorney representing Hagai Amir in his suit >against Raviv. He informed me that Attorney General Amnon Rubinstein's plan >was to prevent suits or charges against Raviv from reaching court. A few >selected files would be kept open, he would receive a few months in prison >for them and the public would be appeased. The next day Hatsofe reported >that Rubinstein was planning to close all but two files against Raviv. > >Still, my pesky interference had to be stopped and this time the extremist >politico Yossi Sarid was called into action. The day after Rabin was >memorialized for the second time by the media, Sarid appeared on the >morning radio show of Shelley Yachomovich (wrong spelling and I don't care). > >Minutes later I received a phone call from a well-known programming >director at the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) who informed me I was >being slandered on the air. It seems someone had informed Sarid that one of >my articles on the conspiracy was carried by the web site of Likud America. >He then claimed I wasn't a journalist, I didn't even live in Israel and I >was paid by the Likud. > >Eighteen months previously I had written the article for Likud USA, which >is unaffiliated with the Israeli Likud party. I was grateful back then that >anyone would publish my early research into the assassination. Had Sarid >wished to, he could have asked anyone in the Likud if this was a party >outlet. Perhaps he did but the answer didn't suit him. It was far better >that I was turned into a non-jornalist, a secret paid hack for the Likud >who was spreading falsehoods on behalf of the Israeli Right. > >And that is exactly how I was portrayed in Haaretz, Maariv, the Jerusalem >Post, Novesti etc. Not one of these papers contacted me for my side of >events. Shelley. Yach... refused to give me equal air time to answer >Sarid's lies. And that would have been easy because he was wrong about >everything. I earn an acceptable living writing for a variety of important >magazines (which I don't name because they have nothing to do with >conspiracies) and I most certainly live in Israel. My mortgage tells me so. >Within a few days I was characterized on the Internet as "a paid agent of >the Right." Disinformation works, especially when one has the power of the >Israeli media backing it. > >So what was Sarid's motive in slandering me? Easy, he was a high ranking >member of the Knesset Shabak Supervisory Comittee during the time of Raviv. >He knew as much about Raviv's illegal activities as anyone and approved >them. When the conspiracy is finally revealed, he might have to do time for >his "supervisory" role in the assassination. That's a mighty good motive >for slandering me. And that would explain his subsequent statements in the >Knesset that he is trying to put a "gag order" on me. > >Shortly after Sarid's miserable performance on the Shelley show ended, the >IBA program director called me. She whispered, "You won't like this. I >received a memo from the top. We're not allowed to mention your name or >anything to do with your work...I gotta go. My boss is coming." > >When the true story of Rabin's assassination is finally exposed, many >members of the Israeli media will have to explain their role in >perpetuating the coverup on behalf, directly or indirectly of the >murderers. And if there is a modicum of justice in Israel, they will have >to face the law. It may be a wise idea for them to stop helping the people >who assassinated YItzhak Rabin. > >----------------------------------------------------- >Written by Barry Chamish - an Israeli journalist. >E-Mail: chamish@netmedia.net.il >----------------------------------------------------- > >Date: Mon, 1 Dec 1997 16:24:46 +0200 (IST) > > I QUIT > By Barry Chamish > >I have done my duty for the Israeli people.

Outside the demonstrators, all thirty of them, conspired with the >media people, a good twenty of them, to slander me before the Israeli >public. Two days before, Yediot Ahronot devoted over half a page to >personal slurs against this meeting, introducing the article by calling me, >as usual, a right wing extremist. > >Last night, it mattered not to the media that an intelligent, informed >audience crowded a hall to hear me speak.

This morning I was waiting in line at the bank when the gentleman next >to me whispered, "I admire what you're doing but I've been told you now >have to watch yourself." Three times this week people called to warn me >that my life was in danger. One caller is an invaluable source working in a >government ministry. He informed me that at a closed meeting of Meretz >leaders, a plan was hatched to eliminate me, first through innuendo and if >that doesn't work, by worse tactics. > >2. It has now reached the point where I suspect every car which follows me >at night of sinister purposes, I'm more reluctant to travel alone and yes, >I admit that I'm frightened someone will take the decision to hush me up >permanently. > >3. I have a wife and two children to think about. Their neighbours read the >press and many believe I'm a dangerous inciter. That scares people and >deeply affects our social life. The new strategy of digging for skeletons >in my closet has already begun and like most human beings, I resent the >intrusion. If I was a bachelor I might ride out the storm to make my mark >on history. That is not the case and family comes first. > >4. I'm totally frustrated. There is no one in a position of authority to >turn to. I am saddened by the fact that not one person with inside >influence has the courage to expose the coverup. My leaders have abandoned >all pretense of integrity and I am alone. The propaganda has worked. I'm >viewed as a crazed radical by strangers though most of my journalistic work >is highly conventional. I must work with the public to survive. The smear >campaign, in short, is affecting my income. > >5. I am expecting to be arrested at any time for a variety of trumped up >charges of sedition, mutiny, treason, or incitement. I am not a criminal >and I don't deserve to live in fear of arrest. > >6. I don't want to become the stereotyped right wing fanatic the media is >portraying me as. But if the majority of organizations who invite me to >speak are right wing, then logic dictates I must be too, and thus I am >deliberately promoting one political agenda. The fact is my lifestyle in >many ways has much in common with the Israeli left. I don't hate them, we >have much to share, but they despise me and wish nothing but harm for me. I >want to talk with them but they won't listen. They have declared war >against me and the truth surrounding the Rabin assassination and no amount >of common sense will ever change their view. It's not pleasant to be hated. >It's not right that I have to endure constant disrespect in the national >media. My motives for exposing a crime are decent and good. I believe I am >defending Rabin's honour by trapping his murderers. I had hoped that my >evidence would lead to a more honest, healthier Israeli nation. However, >all my effort is just further dividing a torn society and my intentions are >being turned into evil. > >7. I don't want to be at risk anymore. Thousands of people understand my >evidence of a conspiracy to murder Rabin. I wish they would share the risk, >now, if they are ever going to. I am being lambasted cruelly in the media >and I am taking the following steps to put an end to the humiliation, fear >and danger: > >a. The Israeli Right and Religious communities know the facts. These >wonderful people have been my audience until now and I'm proud to have >addressed them. But I will do so no more. If I ever present my evidence in >an Israeli forum, it will be only to left wing, centrist or unaffiliated >audiences. I will, however, present my findings to any audience abroad, >where no one has yet been introduced to my work in person. However, within >Israel, the only group of people who can turn the tide in favour of justice >are the very people I cannot reach. > >b. I have asked two journalists from Shishi Magazine to arrange a meeting >between me and Rabin's son, Yuval. They have agreed to my request. If Yuval >Rabin turns down the offer, it will only reinforce my belief that there is >no hope of reconciling politics with the truth about this political crime. >If he agrees, it will be a victory for both of us. If he proves to me that >there was no conspiracy, I will publicly admit I was wrong all along...And >vice-versa. > >c. I will turn down offers of new evidence for the conspiracy case. I will >cease all investigation. More than enough evidence has been collected to >justify the opening of an impartial commission of inquiry to get to the >bottom of the assassination. If the desire isn't there, new evidence will >not make an iota of a difference. > >d. The conspirators thus have no reason to fear that I will reach the end >of the trail which leads to their door. I will not name them if I discover >their identities. The Israeli public is either mature enough to handle the >uglist of truths, that its leadership Left and Right betrayed them and act >on the knowledge, or it can continue living with a cancerous lie. If they >choose the latter, well... > >I tried. >-------------------------------------------- >Written by Barry Chamish - an Israeli journalist. >E-Mail : chamish@netmedia.net.il >-------------------------------------------- > >Bob Djurdjevic >TRUTH IN MEDIA >Phoenix, Arizona >e-mail: bobdj@djurdjevic.com > >---- >Bob Djurdjevic >TRUTH IN MEDIA >Phoenix, Arizona >e-mail: bobdj@djurdjevic.com > >LINKS: http://www.beograd.com/truth/ > (Truth in Media home page) > > http://www.forbes.com/tool/html/97/oct/1021/col.htm > (Djurdjevic's Oct 1997 FORBES column, "Bet on Asian Large Caps") > > http://204.134.221.30:8898/ows-bin/owa/im_pak.imdecode?link=294 > (Djurdjevic's Nov 1997 IM column, "Welcome to Asia/Pacific... > and Buckle Up" - IM is a WASHINGTON POST publication) > > http://www.djurdjevic.com > (Annex Research home page) > >
