ROOT & BRANCH INFORMATION SERVICES: "THE GANG'S ALL HERE"
by Barry Chamish
BET SHEMESH, ISRAEL, March 29, 1998, Root & Branch: The Gang's all here,
but without a Hail, Hail, for Israel. In the past ten days Israel has had
the dubious honor of hosting an insulting European Union Foreign Minister -
Robin Cook, a patronizing United Nations Secretary-General - Kofi Anaan,
and the longtime Council On Foreign Relations squeeze artist, Dennis Ross.
Leaks from Hillary Rodham Clinton, of all people, which floated across the
net this week (I received my notice from Murray Kahl's list), more than
merely implied that Clinton and Blair coordinated their strongarm tactics
against Israel, in no small
part, to get the public's mind off the President's personal problems.
Folks, it's New World Order endtime for Israel and the globalist gang-rape
has begun in earnest. It's Israel against the Council on Foreign Relations,
European Union and United Nations. There is another player in the game who
hardly anyone notices, the Vatican. In this same ten day period when the
globalist powerbrokers descended on Israel to weaken and ultimately
dismember the State, the Holy See began its final
act to pick up the scraps of Jerusalem.
First, the Vatican issued a weak proclamation almost apologizing for the
Catholic Church's role in the Nazi mass murder of the Jews during World War
II. This was followed a few days later by a meeting in Jerusalem between
the Nablus-born Catholic Patriarch of the city and Israel's two chief
rabbis. Not many details of the meeting were released but Rabbis Lau and
Bakshi-Doron, who seldom get along on any issue, agreed with the Holy See's
position that Jerusalem is a special case and should not be
subjected to the same security restrictions as the rest of the Administered
Territories. In other words, in the event of a Palestinian bombing
campaign, traffic in worshipers to Jerusalem should carry on unimpeded.
Now, why would the chief rabbis of Israel agree to something as risky as
that? Because, the Pope's pressure on Israel is no less profound than that of
Cook, Anaan or Ross...but it's a lot more covert. The Vatican wants its
piece of Israel's violated honor.
What follows are a few central events in the secret Vatican-Israeli
diplomacy since the start of the Council on Foreign Relation's "peace"
process:
The Peres-Beilin Sell-Out
The ink was barely dry on the Declaration of Principles between Israel and
the PLO in September, 1993, when intense negotiations by the Israeli Deputy
Foreign Minister Yossi Beilin and the Holy See began.
The timing was not coincidental. On September 10, 1993, the Italian
newspaper "La Stampa" revealed that one of the unwritten clauses of the
Declaration of Principles was PLO assent to a deal brokered between Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres and the Pontiff. To cut to the meat, Peres promised
the Vatican hegemony over the Old City of Jerusalem by the end of the year
2000.
This story was later confirmed with highly convincing evidence and
testimony by the Israeli newspapers Shishi and Haaretz and the radio
station, Arutz Sheva. (For details I suggest reading my book "Traitors and
Carpetbaggers In The Promised Land").
Beilin's secrets were no less profound. By December, 1993, he had
completed one agreement with the Vatican for public consumption and another
for privileged eyes only. Nonethless, some of his staff at the Foreign
Ministry were so alarmed by the secret passages that they initiated leaks;
or, in the case of Esther Samilag, public statements. She was transferred
to the Israeli Consolate in Katmandu, Nepal in retaliation. For that Ms.
Samilag can consider herself lucky.
Deputy Jerusalem mayor Shmuel Meir got hold of some of the damning evidence
and publicly stated, "I have received information that properties promised
to the Vatican in Jerusalem would be granted extraterritorial status."
Beilin did not deny the accusation, rather he admitted, "Included in the
Vatican agreement is the issue of papal properties in Israel which will be
resolved by a panel of experts that has already been formed." If it had
been formed, its activities have been totally secret until today.
Out of fear of a foreign takeover, Meir became an active member of Ateret
Hacohenim, an organization which buys properties in the Old City from their
Arab owners. He travelled abroad often to raise funds for this noble cause.
Not long after Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated, Shmuel Meir died when a
Palestinian truck driver, driving a UN vehicle, crushed him in his car.
The Israeli police barely questioned the driver, conducted only a
perfunctory investigation and quickly released the driver. As a result,
Meir's demise was viewed as still another peace process murder by many
among the Oslo Accords opposition camp.
Just a few days before Robin Cook's unfortunate arrival, the weekly
newsmagazine Yerushalayim reignited the suspicions. Speaking to reporter
Avi Segal, Deputy Mayor Nissim Zeev said, "Meir was murdered and I'm not
just talking out of the side of my mouth. Meir himself told me he was a
marked man and I know he was targeted by the Palestinian secret services.
There are a lot of ways to murder someone but the easiest is a fake car
accident."
The Netanyahu-Levy Sell-Out
On November 10, 1997, Foreign Minister David Levy, in one of his last major
acts of diplomacy before resigning, signed an agreement with Papal Nuncio
Archbishop Andrea di Montezemolo which was "part of the Fundamental
Agreement signed in December, 1993 between Israel and the Holy See."
Levy explained that the agreement stipulates that "the Catholic Church and
its institutions in Israel are to have a legal status similar to that of
voluntary organizations." What the public was told was that the Catholic
properties in Israel would be granted "autonomy to handle their own
internal affairs."
Back in March, 1994, when Pere's promise to the Pope was publicized in
Israel, all rabbis banned him from their Passover meals. An embargo on
Peres was fast spreading among the haredi (ultra-observant) religious
community. Peres chose to nip it in the bud in his usual fashion: by lying.
He explained that a cable sent from Israel's embassy in Rome to the Foreign
Ministry in Jerusalem, outlining the Old City giveaway that was published
on the front page of Haaretz and broadcast by Arutz Sheva, was genuine but
someone had whited out the word "not." In other words, Israel would, not,
hand over the Old City to the Pope. Incredibly, the rabbis bought Peres'
lie and lifted their embargo.
The lesson was learned. If the Jerusalem deal was ever to go down, the
haredim (ultra-observant) would have to be neutralized.
Enter Yossi Beilin. On January 2, 1998, the magazine Yerushalyaim, clearly
the only news outlet left in Israel with an inkling of the secret diplomacy
taking place, revealed that Beilin had chaired a secret meeting of Likud
and Labor Knesset Members at the suspiciously non-descript Israel Institute
For Democracy, chaired by Aryeh Carmon.
The goal of the get-together was to create "a bi-partisan forum to find a
solution to religious political blackmail." Beilin's partner in the effort
was/is none other than Likud "hawk" Michael Eitan. Besides the expected
doves at the meeting - ie. MKs Ofir Pines, Yonah Yahav, Meir Sheetrit and
Zeev Boim - was another "hawk": Tzomet's Motti Zandberg.
The Jewish People is about to lose its Temple for the third time. Cook's
defiant appearance on Har Homa (Mount of the Wall [of Protection]) was the
first signal, Anaan's demand that Israel obey the UN's will was the next,
and Ross's 13% pullout formula was still another turn of the rack.
While New World Order powerbrokers openly declare their ambitions for
Jerusalem, the Vatican is preparing for the day in the near future when the
Catholic Church will finally secure its second Holy City on the ruins of
what was meant to be the eternal capital of the State of Israel, which is
the homeland of the Jewish People.
