Mr. Fox is Chairman of the Fox Companies, one of the major building, development and real estate management companies in eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. He is also Chairman of Planalytics, Inc.. a planning and forecasting company that links strategic marketing and sales management through unique data analysis and client solution teams.

He is chairman of the Board of Governors of Temple University and has been a leader in the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Jewish Committee. Mr. Fox is a long-time Republican activist. In 1985 he was one of the founders of the RJC and served as its first chairman. In 1980 Fox was the Pennsylvania State Chairman of the Reagan/Bush campaign. In 1988 he served as national finance chairman of Jack Kemp’s presidential campaign Temple Board of Trustees Richard Fox http://www.temple.edu/secretary/fox.htm Richard J. Fox thinks before he acts. In 1967, when trustees chairman Judge Charles Klein asked the entrepreneurial builder to bring his construction know-how to a board trying to manage numerous building projects, Fox spent days wandering the campus, talking to students.
“I was trying to learn what Temple was all about,” Fox recalled. “I discovered that Temple was a place where young people from all backgrounds could find a path for success. I felt that I could make a contribution and receive satisfaction from serving, so I said yes.”
Did he realize that one “yes” would turn into 37 — and counting — years on Temple’s board, including 16 as its chairman? “I had no idea,” he said with a laugh.
Some describe Fox’s devotion to Temple as second only to Russell Conwell’s. His service and philanthropy are reflected in The Fox School of Business and Management, the Fox Center for Biomedical Physics, the Fox-Gittis Room of the Liacouras Center, and his founding of Temple’s Myer and Rosaline Feinstein Center for American Jewish History.

Before beginning his love affair with Temple, Fox took his diploma from Philadelphia’s Central High School and enlisted in the Navy, which sent him to Georgia Tech and to service in World War II and the Korean War. He returned to Philadelphia and eventually started the Fox Companies, now a major construction and real estate management firm that developed the Wachovia Center, studios for the Comcast Sports Network, and Chesterbrook, widely considered the most comprehensively planned residential community in the state.
Fox’s tenure as chairman virtually coincided with the presidency of Peter J. Liacouras.

Concerned about enhancing Temple’s reputation, the two set out to convert Temple from being “the best-kept secret in the region” to being recognized for “its educational excellence and the bargain that it was.”
In one of the most ambitious and successful periods in University history, Temple strengthened its academic programs, added campuses regionally and globally, and built the Liacouras Center and new student housing. Just as important, perhaps, were decisions to hang banners around the campus, to provide lighting so powerful that one could “read a book outdoors at night” and to reach new audiences by adding classical music to Temple’s public radio station, WRTI.
“We undertook a 100-degree turn during those years in what Temple was and what it meant to people,” Fox said. “Sometimes, people used to react: ‘Temple, who?’ Now, it’s ‘Temple, WOW!’”
His years on Temple’s board have been “an amazing ride,” said Fox, currently chairman of the development committee. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, and I am still enjoying it. It is wonderful to be able to get up every day and say we’re going to move the ball a little bit and make something happen.”
Founder of Republican Jewish Coalition Max Fisher http://www.rjchq.org/news.asp?FormMode=Detail&id=812 New York Sun Max M. Fisher, 96, Strong Republican Voice For Israel Friday, March 4, 2005 By: Stephen Miller
Max M. Fisher, a wealthy Detroit industrialist whose philanthropic and diplomatic efforts made him among the most politically influential Jews in America, died yesterday at his home in Franklin, Mich. He was 96. A force in Republican politics since the 1950s, when he backed the first gubernatorial campaign of George Romney, Fisher was an intimate of each Republican president since Eisenhower and was particularly close to President Nixon, who made Fisher his liaison to the Jewish community. In addition to undertaking sensitive diplomatic missions at several crisis points in Israeli-American relations, Fisher raised hundreds of millions of dollars for a variety of Jewish causes. He served at various times as leader of the United Jewish Appeal, the Jewish Agency for Israel, and the Council of Jewish Federations. "In the world of Jewish volunteer leaders, Max Fisher was a giant," the United Jewish Community's president and CEO, Howard Rieger, said."He was known to all, whether heads of state in Israel or the United States, or the leadership of the Jewish and general communities in the United States, as a prime mover - as someone who made things happen." "Max Fisher was a genuinely great man whose commitment and dedication to what he believed were without comparison," the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Ken Mehlman, said. "His influence and advocacy for peace in the Middle East will be valued forever." Fisher was also among the most important public benefactors in Detroit. The $60 million Max M. Fisher Music Center, which opened in 2003, serves as home to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and includes a public high school devoted to the performing arts. It is called simply The Max. Fisher was born in 1908 in Pittsburgh to Russian-immigrant parents named Velvil and Malka Fisch, later anglicized to William and Molly. William Fisher was a peddler before he became a shop owner in Salem, Ohio. He eventually moved to Detroit, where he went into the oil business, reprocessing used crankcase oil in the Motor City. Max Fisher grew up in Salem and attended Ohio State University on a football scholarship - he played center. After he was injured, Fisher worked his way through by delivering ice, and graduated in 1930 with a degree in business administration. After joining his father's reclamation business as a $15-a-week salesman, Fisher convinced his father to expand, and rounded up investors. By World War II, Aurora Gasoline was one of the largest refiners in the Midwest. Fisher began investing in real estate. By the 1950s, Fisher was wealthy and he began cultivating interests in politics and Israel. He often told the story of a turning point in his life when he first visited Israel, in 1954. Seeing poverty all around, he suggested to the Israeli finance minister, Levi Eshkol, that the nation stem the flow of immigration for a few years. "Every Jew in Israel remembers how 6 million fellow Jews died under Hitler because they had no place to go," Eshkol told him. "We will never close the gates ... Israel exists so Jews may exist." It was, Fisher told his biographer Peter Golden, "the greatest lesson I would ever learn about Zionism." Fisher became an outstanding fundraiser for Jewish causes both in the Detroit area and abroad, and even became close friends with Henry Ford II. In addition to his involvement with Romney, Fisher grew close to Nixon, beginning in the late 1950s when Nixon was vice-president. According to some sources, Eisenhower once told Fisher that he would never have pressured Israel to evacuate the Sinai during the Suez crisis if he had had a close Jewish adviser. Already chairman of UJA, Fisher's fund-raising attained legendary status when he raised $100 million in a single month to support Israel in the wake of the Six-Day War, in 1967. Nixon brought Fisher into his 1968 presidential campaign as liaison to Jewish organizations. According to a former Nixon staffer, Leonard Garment, Fisher convinced Nixon not to support a Republican filibuster against the appointment of Abe Fortas to the Supreme Court. During the Nixon administration, Fisher acted as a private diplomatic messenger to Israel. He lobbied unsuccessfully to have the administration speak out more publicly on behalf of Soviet Jews who wanted to immigrate to Israel. During the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Fisher lobbied the president and Henry Kissinger nonstop to resupply Israel promptly, according to Mr. Garment. In a private memo to the Reagan White House commending Fisher's services, Nixon wrote, "By far, the best man we worked with and one who was invaluable when Kissinger was working out the disengagement plans on the Egyptian and Syrian fronts was Max Fisher. He ... could always carry the message to Garcia, even if it was unpleasant when we asked him to." In later interviews, Fisher downplayed Nixon's alleged anti-Semitism as disclosed on secret tapes. "Have you ever said things in private that you didn't want anybody to hear?" Fisher told the Detroit Free Press in 2003. "That's the same thing that happened. I'm sure that every president has some nasty words to say or used some profane language." Fisher had been friends with Gerald Ford since Mr. Ford's first run for Congress, in 1948, and played an important role in preventing an American tilt away from Israel when Mr. Ford became president. During the new president's "state-of-the-world" speech, Fisher sat with the Ford family in the gallery of the House of Representatives. As a confirmed Republican, Fisher was largely shut out of the White House during the Carter administration. According to Mr. Golden's "Quiet Diplomat," when the Camp David Accords were signed in 1979, Fisher was invited to the reception but was given a seat on the periphery. Israel's prime minister, Menachem Begin, beckoned him up to the dais, and said to Mr. Carter, "Mr. president, I want you to meet the most important member of your country's Jewish community." As they shook hands, the president replied, "Yes, I've heard of him." Fisher continued to be an important adviser during the Reagan years but disagreed with the administration over the sale of Awacs early-warning planes to Saudi Arabia. Fisher's relations with in the Jewish community became somewhat contentious during these years, and he was sometimes accused of being a "court Jew," willing to trade access and influence within Republican circles in exchange for betraying Israel's interests. Fisher was an influential figure through the administration of George H.W. Bush, and naturally lost influence under President Clinton. During those years, he stepped up dramatically his philanthropy in Detroit. He founded the National Jewish Coalition, devoted to supporting Jewish Republican causes. In 1995, Fisher was one of the top donors to the Foundation for Florida's Future, an organization founded by Florida's governor, Jeb Bush. During the 1992 election, Fisher's daughter, Mary, addressed the Republican Convention, informing delegates that she was HIV-positive, causing a tremendous public stir. Fisher remained alert and devoted to his famous little black book of phone numbers nearly to the end of his life. He spoke occasionally to President Bush. In 2003, he spoke proudly of his Detroit philanthropy, devoted to rebuilding the city's downtown area. "Look, Detroit will never be the same city as it was before," Fisher said. "But it will be a new city with new ideas and new dreams." After the United Jewish Appeal, the Jewish Agency for Israel, and the Council of Jewish Federations merged in 1999 to form the United Jewish Community, the UJC named its New York headquarters for Fisher.

Purple Gang's Bloody Legacy
http://info.detnews.com/history/story/index.cfm?id=8&category=life Stephen L. Friedman and Menachem Atzmon: partners in Likud money-laundering, with implications in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

A Philadelphia lawyer, Friedman was the general counsel in the United States for the Likud party of Israel from 1984 (or, officially, 1988) to 1999. Friedman is a close friend of the Netanyahu family; he grew up in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, around the corner from Benjamin and his father Benzion Netanyahu, the senior aide to avowed fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky.

Israeli plutocrat Menachem Atzmon was co-treasurer of the Likud, along with Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert, during and after the 1988 Israeli elections. In August 1988, Atzmon worked with Olmert and two other men to collect illegal contributions for the Likud from corporations, against Israel's party funding law, by providing fictitious advertising services to the contributors. Atzmon was later convicted in that campaign finance fraud, while Olmert was acquitted.

Up until his 1996 conviction, Atzmon was president of the Israel Development Fund (IDF), a U.S. tax-exempt foundation funneling money illegally to the Likud. IDF is one entity in a cluster of such false-front Likud money spigots, all run by Philadelphia attorney Steven L. Friedman, a partner in the Dilworth, Paxson firm.

Friedman has overseen the Likud's U.S. fundraising since 1984, when he began arranging Netanyahu's broadcasts and meetings with American leaders. Netanyahu first met Mervyn Adelson at that time, and brought him into his inner circle along with Friedman and Ron Lauder. Friedman is a key leader of the Republican Jewish Coalition, founded and run by Detroit Purple Gang mobster Max Fisher, a longtime chairman of dope-running United Fruit. The Coalition finances and corrupts the U.S. Republican Party.

Friedman created a network of tax-exempt U.S. organizations tied to Likud. The first entity, Israel Development Fund (IDF), began in 1989. According to Internal Revenue Service tax records, IDF gave money directly to the Likud, directly countering the purpose of the U.S. tex exemption laws.

In The Jewish Week for Feb. 19, 1999, reporter Lawrence Cohler-Esses wrote: "Several former Netanyahu cronies say the Israel Development Fund, which over six years raised about $1.5 million, was of indirect help to Netanyahu. Another source claims that the fund helped finance Netanyahu's jaunts to the U.S. The fund did allocate several grants to youth programs, as it was originally set up to do; but only about half of its expenditures were for such programs. According to the fund's tax reports, it granted $16,000 to 'Lichud'—evidently a distortion of Likud. Other donations include $9,000 to "Shood Harabanim"—apparently a mutation of the name "Ichud Harabanim," a group of West Bank rabbis who have called on Israeli soldiers to refuse to obey orders if the Israel Defense Forces redeploy in the West Bank; $13,000 to the settlers' journal Nekuda; another $13,000 to 'Gagner Aliyah,' a contortion of "Gesher Aliyah"—a charitable organization supervised by Avigdor Lieberman, former director-general of the Prime Minister's bureau, a body later subjected to criminal investigation.

Cohler-Esses obtained a list of IDF donors from 1989 through 1992, which included "[Irving] Moskowitz; New York businessman Joseph Mermelstein; Reuben Mattus, the late founder of Haagen Dazs ice cream, and his widow, Rose; and Manfred Lehmann, the late philanthropist and right-wing activist who defended Dr. Baruch Goldstein's murder of 29 Palestinians in Hebron in 1994.... In 1995 [tax reports] ... Moskowitz's foundation [was reported as giving] 5,000 to IDF and 5,000 to the Likud party through Friedman. When questioned about this, Friedman, in the only brief interview he agreed to, said the listing of the political donation to Likud was 'a mistake.' Soon after the interview, Friedman filed an amendment to his Justice Department filing stating that the 1995 Moskowitz donation to Likud was, in fact, to the charity IDF."

Menachem Atzmon resigned as president of Friedman's IDF following his 1996 conviction for Israeli election campaign finance fraud. But his later U.S. activities would prove to be much more disturbing. http://www.duanemorris.com/attorneys/attorney6047.html

A Bigger Scandal:
Illegal U.S. Funding of Sharon's Likud

by Anton Chaitkin EIR's recent series of exposés tracing the dirty money behind Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the Likud party, have helped fuel the roaring political scandal threatening to wreck what was once thought to be a certain Sharon win in the upcoming Jan. 28 election. Since the series began, Israeli and American journalists and researchers have provided revealing information concerning the Likud's most important foreign funders, which, upon investigation, has proven to be accurate. Israeli law has, since 1994, prohibited foreign donations to Israeli election campaigns. Yet tens of millions of dollars have continued to pour in from abroad, financing the radical-right Likud political apparatus which is driving the mideast and the world into religious-ethnic warfare. One prominent Israeli jurist told EIR, "Talking about illegal foreign money flows into Israeli elections is like talking about illegal booze in Chicago during Prohibition. Everybody does it, or you just don't survive." But in the case of the money propping up the Sharon regime, its legal prohibition is made more sinister by its sources, primarily in the United States. They include heirs of the Meyer Lansky/ Moe Dalitz mafia syndicate; Michael Milken's junk-bond "monsters," corporate predators, and looters; and the sponsors of terrorists such as Meyer Kahane and the Armageddon-theme racial and religious provocateurs. According to knowledgeable Israeli sources, the following names are at or near the top of the list of perpetrators, whose covert funding of the Likud has brought the Mideast to the brink of disaster.The Lansky-Dalitz Legacy The most important Likud sources are associates of Michael Milken's multi-billion dollar scams of the 1980s and early 1990s, and of mob bosses Meyer Lansky's and Moe Dalitz's Las Vegas:

• Jay Zises: (pronounced "zee-sees"), a Likud funder with his wife Nancy. As of 2000, Jay was President of "Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces in the United States."
  
  Jay Zises and his brother Selig founded Integrated Resources, a hyper-leveraged tax shelter. The Zises debt pyramid blew out in 1989, defaulting on $955 million. The scheme was financed by Drexel Burnham Lambert's junk-bond kingpin Michael Milken and his family, and by those backing Milken, including Zises' former boss Saul Steinberg, and executives of Carl Lindner's dope-running United Fruit/Chiquita Banana. A Federal judge ruling on a lawsuit against Integrated said, "This case arises from the ashes of what is regarded by some as the most spectacular scam of the 1980s."
• Milken and others were jailed, but the Zises brothers escaped with a fortune, bought out by Milken's cousin Stanley Zax shortly before Milken was indicted and Integrated collapsed.
  
  Jay Zises created the Roundtable Political Action Committee, a U.S. election campaign-financing arm of the Milken clique, operating from Integrated's New York office. His brother Seymour Zises was president of the coordinating "National PAC," which operated from Washington. Run in tandem with AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee), these are the PACs which established, in America, the pattern of dirty-money election financing which rules Israel today.
• Contributors to Jay Zises' Roundtable included members of the Meshulam Riklis family. Riklis, a mobster go-between for dope-runner Robert Vesco, Vesco's lawyer Kenneth Bialkin, and the Milken group, was Ariel Sharon's personal financial angel. Riklis donated the ranch where Sharon lives today, and where Sharon, Henry Kissinger, Riklis, Bialkin and others planned the West Bank settlement land-scam and rightist offensive.
  
  Other Roundtable contributors included convicted Wall Street swindler Ivan Boesky; Saul Steinberg's family; the Milstein family, partners in United Fruit; and the family of Laurence Tisch (of Loews Corp. and Lindner's United Fruit apparatus).
• Marc Belzberg: Canadian funder of the Likud/West Bank settlers covert nexus. Marc's father and partner, the notorious predator Sam Belzberg, was part of the inner core of the Drexel/Michael Milken junk bond operation, and a sponsor of corporate raider T. Boone Pickens. The Belzbergs bought up large blocks of stocks, and took "greenmail" from companies wanting to avoid their hostile takeovers. Marc Belzberg and his family holding company First City Financial were sued by the SEC in 1986 and forced to disgorge $2.7 million in profits, for "stock parking" with banker Bear Stearns in a takeover-scam against Ashland Oil.
  
  The Belzbergs were partners in Zises' Integrated Resources, and arbitrage partners of Roundtable PAC co-founder James Tisch, son of Lawrence Tisch.
  
  Marc Belzberg is a director of the Jerusalem Post, the right-wing daily controlled by the Anglo-Canadian rightist Hollinger Corp. of Canadian-born British Lord Conrad Black.
  
  Belzberg is a major backer of Ateret Cohanim, the Sharon-linked Jerusalem yeshiva which is purporting to train the first "priesthood" for the Third Temple, which they plan to build on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, the site of two of the holiest sites in Islam. Belzberg was personally involved in the scheme to open up tunnels under the Temple Mount, with the aim of causing religious warfare over the intended destruction of the Al Aqsa mosque on the Mount.
• Ira Rennert: a heavy donor to Likud political campaigns. A partner in the giant Milken/Zises Integrated Resources scam, Rennert parlayed his loot into his current Renco Group conglomerate in Rockefeller Center, New York; his net worth is about $500 million. Since the collapse of Integrated, Rennert has siphoned off funds from numerous businesses.
  
  Besides right-wing Israeli policies, Rennert's loot has paid for a Long Island home with 29 bathrooms and a 100-car garage. Benjamin Netanyahu is often a guest at Rennert's house in Jerusalem.
  
  Ira Rennert and his wife Ingeborg finance the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. As Prime Minister, Netanyahu gave this New York-based group of fanatics physical control over the tunnel entrance to the complexes underneath the Temple Mount, putting Rennert's foundation in charge of screening and admitting visitors.
• Marvin Josephson: Likud sponsor and longtime owner of the Hollywood and literary agency ICM (International Creative Management). Josephson has been chairman of "Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces." He was chairman of the National PAC, under its founding president Seymour Zises.
  
  Josephson is a cousin to Murray Wilson, a Lansky Syndicate money-launderer and soldier for the Genovese crime family, who linked up the Russian Mafia with the Marc Rich apparatus in New York.
  
  Marvin Josephson has a few personal clients, including Henry Kissinger. He was the agent for Kissinger's recent book, Does America Need A Foreign Policy?
• Henry Kravis: sponsor of the right wing in Israel and U.S. Republican Party. Kravis's ties to the Bush family, apprenticeship at Bear Stearns (Caribbean banker for Meyer Lansky, and the casinos), and multi-billion schemes with Milken, have ballooned into Kohlberg Kravis Roberts' total investment assets of over $85 billion.
  
  KKR used leveraged buyouts, forcing debt on the takeover target, selling worthless bonds to state pension funds, insurance companies, banks and $20 billion to Milken's Drexel Burnham. It was the very model for the bankrupting of the U.S. economy over the past quarter century. Kravis's $25 billion takeover of RJR Nabisco (R.J. Reynolds Tobacco) was the subject of the bestselling book and movie, Barbarians at the Gate. The echoes of that gangsterism are still heard: In December 2002, the European Union charged RJR Nabisco with money laundering in a suit filed in U.S. Federal Court. The E.U. complaint says the firm has "engaged in and facilitated organized crime by laundering the proceeds of narcotics trafficking and other crimes.... Defendants have laundered the illegal proceeds of members of Italian, Russian, and Colombian organized crime through financial institutions in New York City, including The Bank of New York, Citibank, N.A., and Chase Manhattan Bank."
• Steven Wynn: tough-guy casino owner and Likud backer. Steve Wynn started in Las Vegas in 1967, with a small interest in the Frontier Hotel casino, then controlled by the Detroit mob. He later took control of the Golden Nugget. In 1980, with financial backing from Drexel Burnham Lambert, Wynn built the Golden Nugget casino in Atlantic City, where Meyer Lansky's Resorts International had opened the first casino in 1978. Wynn sold the Atlantic City casino and took more from Milken's Drexel to build the massive Mirage in Las Vegas, which opened in 1989. Drexel also funded other casinos, pumping billions of hot dollars into Vegas as part of Dope, Inc.'s transformation of its money laundering center from a city run by the old-style Mob, into a resort center with the organized crime activities hidden behind slick corporate fronts. Wynn is a personal friend of Milken, his neighbor in Lake Tahoe.
  
  The mid-1990s book, Running Scared: The Life and Treacherous Times of Las Vegas Casino King Steve Wynn, by the famous Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter John L. Smith, alleged that Wynn was a front for the New York Genovese organized crime family. Wynn sued the publisher for libel and won. Wynn is deeply feared in Las Vegas.
  
  A biography of Steve Wynn on the Milken Institute website says "Wynn is widely credited with transforming Las Vegas into a world-renowned resort destination"; and he is on the the Advisory Board (chaired by Paul Volcker) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, and a member of the board of the George Bush Presidential Library.
• Mervyn Adelson: of Hollywood, Vegas and Tel Aviv, an investment partner of Dalitz and top donor and friend to Netanyahu. The former husband of TV journalist Barbara Walters and former chairman of Lorimar-Telepictures, Adelson is an investment manager in Los Angeles.
  
  Cleveland mobster Moe Dalitz, who opened up Las Vegas with Lansky, teamed up with Mervyn Adelson to create the Rancho La Costa resort in California. Adelson and Dalitz spent a decade suing Penthouse magazine over an article claiming that this Adelson investment had become the favored hangout for American gangsters, where murders were planned in luxury and confidence. Jimmy "The Weasel" Frattiano testified that he met there to plan the murder of Desi Arnaz. The suit was dropped after Penthouse apologized to Adelson, but not to Dalitz.
  
  Merv Adelson's former attorney, Yaakov Ne'eman, became Israel's Finance Minister under Prime Minister Netanyahu, and is one of Netanyahu's closest advisors on law, donations and investment subjects. As the scandal over Likud gangsterism has broken wide open, the governor of the Bank of Israel (central bank) has criticized Sharon's policies; Sharon has responded by threatening to make Adelson's man, Ne'eman, the Bank's governor instead.
• Sheldon Adelson: casino mogul, one of four foreigners named by the Jerusalem Post as contributing over $100,000 to the Likud's 1996 election campaign (the other three were Ronald Lauder, Joseph Gutnick, and Irving Moscowitz). Sheldon and Mervyn Adelson are not related.
  
  Sheldon Adelson bought out the Las Vegas Sands Hotel, pioneered by Lansky, Moe Dalitz and Bugsy Siegel. Adelson developed the massive Venetian Hotel/casino, its themes carefully modeled on the historical center of oligarchy, tyranny and corruption, Venice. He has fought a long, bitter battle against the workers and labor unions in Las Vegas, and is a central player in the casino domination of politics—ownership of politicians—in Nevada.
  
  Sheldon Adelson has poured huge sums into Israeli politics. He has sought approval to build casinos in Israel itself—as did Meyer Lanksy—but has so far not succeeded. Adelson finances the Lubavitcher cult, which operates a right-wing political and dirty-money empire from Russia to New York's diamond district, to Israel. The Lubvitchers, who agitated against the Oslo peace accords, are emerging as the dominant force in the Jewish community in Las Vegas—despite mainstream Jewish revulsion at their tactics and politics.
  
  Last year Adelson was granted one of three gambling licenses (Steve Wynn also got one) in Macao, China, the former Portuguese colony near Hong Kong. Adelson says what Macao needs is a Vegas-style Strip, which he envisions building.

The Dirty Millions for Armaggedon

• Irving I. Moscowitz: casino owner, Likud funder and warmonger. Time magazine's Sept. 29, 1997 issue profiled Moscowitz as a major danger to the Middle East peace process, in the article entitled "The Power of Money: American Millionaire Irving Who?? Sets Off Seismic Jolts in Israel": "It was his [Moscowitz's] bingo-parlor proceeds that financed the Jewish zealots who set up house in an Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem, nearly provoking violent confrontation with the Palestinians and casting a blight over the peace process.... His money helped prompt the opening of a new exit to an archeological tunnel in East Jerusalem a year ago that sparked a bloody three-day gun battle between Israeli and Palestinian security forces in which 76 people died. Trust between Israeli and Palestinian leaders has never recovered."
  
  Moscowitz made money selling hospitals to conglomerates, and in 1968 set up the Irving I. Moscowitz Foundation, which funds groups dedicated to expanding Jewish settlements in the territories occupied by Israel after the 1967 war. This dollar stream increased markedly after 1968, when officials in Hawaiian Gardens, California, asked his Foundation to take over a failing bingo hall that was a crucial source of local tax revenue. Within three years the take on the parlor grew to $33 million a year. While Moscowitz paid some to the impoverished company town, most of the money went to the Jewish settlers. He launched a movement called the Third Way, which subsequently became a political party in the Likud's ruling coalition 1996-1999. The head of the Third Way, Public Security Minister Avigdor Kahalani, was the man through whom Moscowitz negotiated the opening of the tunnel in which 76 died. In an Israeli newspaper interview in August, 1997, Moscowitz said he had helped Netanyahu financially, stating: "Yes, not much, and in the framework of the law, from my private funds." He added: "Every time Netanyahu asked for advice, I helped. We are friends."
  
  The current Intifada started after Sharon made a visit to al-Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount) and other holy sites in East Jerusalem, where Moscowitz had funded the building of a 132-unit apartment building for Jewish settlers in Ras al-Amud. Sharon fully backs this project, and he had himself, in October 1987, rented a flat in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City. Sharon draped an Israeli flag on the building, sparking a riot as he entertained 700 prominent Israelis. And when tension was further increased through a Panamanian front company purchasing St. John's Hospice in the Old City's Christian quarter so that 150 settlers could take possession of it, Sharon paid them a visit.
  
  Behind both these incidents was Ateret Cohanim, which is training the priesthood for the apocalyptic Third Temple with major funding from Moscowitz. In 2000 alone, the Irving I. Moscowitz Foundation gave $85,000 to Ateret Cohanim; $90,000 to Old City Charities, for settlers in the Muslim Quarter of East Jerusalem; $105,000 for the Hebron Fund (a hotbed of Kach Party terrorism, as in the case of mass-murderer Baruch Goldstein); and similar large sums to U.S.-based political groups (such as the American Enterprise Institute, and the Zionist Organization of America) promoting war with Muslims.
• Joseph Gutnick: the Australian mining magnate and corporate predator, reputedly the richest man in the ultra-orthodox Jewish world. Following the Nov. 4, 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Gutnick poured over $1 million of his personal funds into the Likud election campaign of Benjamin Netanyahu. Gutnick also financed a 5,000-person "get out the vote" effort by the Lubavitcher Chabad cult. Netanyahu had a razor-thin margin of victory over Labor Party leader Shimon Peres. Since then, Gutnick has poured additional millions into building Jewish settlements in occupied Palestine, and has constantly agitated for conflict with the Palestinians.
  
  Writing in the Australian daily, The Age, on Feb. 3, 2001, reporter David Bernstein played down Gutnick's financial contribution to Ariel Sharon's 2001 election campaign: "Gutnick—mining magnate, the Lubavitcher Rebbe's Special Emissary for the Integrity of the Land of Israel and the president of the Melbourne Football Club —is in the Holy City [Jerusalem] and on the campaign trail.... Gutnick is doing everything he can to ensure a Sharon victory, even though, given Sharon's huge lead in the polls, Gutnick has not needed to bankroll an advertising blitz, as he did in 1996 to help elect Netanyahu.
  
  "Four years before his death in 1994, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, head of the Lubavitcher sect of Orthodox Jewry, entrusted Gutnick with ensuring that Israel is always ruled by a right-wing government committed to the territorial integrity of the Biblical Land of Israel. To achieve that, Gutnick uses his wide-ranging political contacts and considerable influence with Israel's large ultra-Orthodox community, to which he has donated many millions over the years.
  
  "Gutnick's campaign in 1996—widely seen to have been decisive in Netanyahu's election—came under close scrutiny from Israeli authorities, with claims of improper funding. An investigation later cleared him of any wrongdoing in both the 1996 and 1999 elections.
  
  "'It'll be wonderful to have a right-wing government back in power,' Gutnick said by phone this week...."
  
  Former Prime Minister Netanyahu visited Australia in August, 2001, as Gutnick's guest, promoting Australian backing for Likud's war policy, and officially opening the $3 million replica of the New York headquarters of the Lubavitcher movement, that Gutnick built in a Melbourne suburb.
  
  Joseph Gutnick amassed a half billion dollars by the late 1990s, speculating in and manipulating stocks of mining companies, with backing from the British Privy Council's raw materials apparatus, such as Anglo American/DeBeers and Rio Tinto Zinc, and in partnership with the megaspeculator George Soros. Gutnick's fortunes were later somewhat deflated—while many stockholders in his companies have been wiped out from the collapse of Gutnick's Centaur Mining Company.
  
  The Asian Journal of Mining for July/August 1997, reported that Gutnick's organization was buying up the Wafangdian diamond mine in Lianing province and the Mengyin diamond mine in Shandong province. With these acquisitions, the cult leader Gutnick would control approximately one half of the national diamond output of China.
  
  Gutnick is now suing Dow Jones, publisher of the Wall Street Journal and Barron's, claiming a Barron's article defamed him implicating him in an Australian money laundering scandal. Gutnick claims that Barron's implied he had laundered large amounts through the now-jailed Melbourne money launderer Nachum Goldberg, and then "bought Nachum Goldberg's silence so as to conceal his identity as one of Goldberg's customers." Gutnick also alleged the article implied he was "masquerading as a reputable citizen when he was, in fact, a tax evader who had laundered large amounts of money through Nachum Goldberg." Nachum Goldberg was jailed in June after pleading guilty to laundering at least $42 million in black cash through Israel, for unidentified tax evaders, using an account at the ANZ Bank. Goldberg is described as an "influential" member of the ultra-orthodox Addas Israel community.
  
  Geoffrey Robertson, the Australian barrister representing Dow Jones in the case, told the Victorian Supreme Court on June 4, 2001, that he found it bizarre that "the article accuses the plaintiff of a series of offenses, stock manipulations, classic stock scams and frauds and connections with money-laundering," but that it was only the money-laundering connection that had become the subject of defamation proceedings. There are "seven reasons [given in the article] why [Gutnick] should be investigated by American regulators, the tax service ... and why investors should beware of him when he comes in the guise of religious philanthropist, because of his record of exploiting religious charities for these purposes."
• Stephen L. Friedman and Menachem Atzmon: partners in Likud money-laundering, with implications in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
  
  A Philadelphia lawyer, Friedman was the general counsel in the United States for the Likud party of Israel from 1984 (or, officially, 1988) to 1999. Friedman is a close friend of the Netanyahu family; he grew up in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, around the corner from Benjamin and his father Benzion Netanyahu, the senior aide to avowed fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky.
  
  Israeli plutocrat Menachem Atzmon was co-treasurer of the Likud, along with Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert, during and after the 1988 Israeli elections. In August 1988, Atzmon worked with Olmert and two other men to collect illegal contributions for the Likud from corporations, against Israel's party funding law, by providing fictitious advertising services to the contributors. Atzmon was later convicted in that campaign finance fraud, while Olmert was acquitted.
  
  Up until his 1996 conviction, Atzmon was president of the Israel Development Fund (IDF), a U.S. tax-exempt foundation funneling money illegally to the Likud. IDF is one entity in a cluster of such false-front Likud money spigots, all run by Philadelphia attorney Steven L. Friedman, a partner in the Dilworth, Paxson firm.
  
  Friedman has overseen the Likud's U.S. fundraising since 1984, when he began arranging Netanyahu's broadcasts and meetings with American leaders. Netanyahu first met Mervyn Adelson at that time, and brought him into his inner circle along with Friedman and Ron Lauder. Friedman is a key leader of the Republican Jewish Coalition, founded and run by Detroit Purple Gang mobster Max Fisher, a longtime chairman of dope-running United Fruit. The Coalition finances and corrupts the U.S. Republican Party.
  
  Friedman created a network of tax-exempt U.S. organizations tied to Likud. The first entity, Israel Development Fund (IDF), began in 1989. According to Internal Revenue Service tax records, IDF gave money directly to the Likud, directly countering the purpose of the U.S. tex exemption laws.
  
  In The Jewish Week for Feb. 19, 1999, reporter Lawrence Cohler-Esses wrote: "Several former Netanyahu cronies say the Israel Development Fund, which over six years raised about $1.5 million, was of indirect help to Netanyahu. Another source claims that the fund helped finance Netanyahu's jaunts to the U.S. The fund did allocate several grants to youth programs, as it was originally set up to do; but only about half of its expenditures were for such programs. According to the fund's tax reports, it granted $16,000 to 'Lichud'—evidently a distortion of Likud. Other donations include $9,000 to "Shood Harabanim"—apparently a mutation of the name "Ichud Harabanim," a group of West Bank rabbis who have called on Israeli soldiers to refuse to obey orders if the Israel Defense Forces redeploy in the West Bank; $13,000 to the settlers' journal Nekuda; another $13,000 to 'Gagner Aliyah,' a contortion of "Gesher Aliyah"—a charitable organization supervised by Avigdor Lieberman, former director-general of the Prime Minister's bureau, a body later subjected to criminal investigation.
  
  Cohler-Esses obtained a list of IDF donors from 1989 through 1992, which included "[Irving] Moskowitz; New York businessman Joseph Mermelstein; Reuben Mattus, the late founder of Haagen Dazs ice cream, and his widow, Rose; and Manfred Lehmann, the late philanthropist and right-wing activist who defended Dr. Baruch Goldstein's murder of 29 Palestinians in Hebron in 1994.... In 1995 [tax reports] ... Moskowitz's foundation [was reported as giving] 5,000 to IDF and 5,000 to the Likud party through Friedman. When questioned about this, Friedman, in the only brief interview he agreed to, said the listing of the political donation to Likud was 'a mistake.' Soon after the interview, Friedman filed an amendment to his Justice Department filing stating that the 1995 Moskowitz donation to Likud was, in fact, to the charity IDF."
  
  Menachem Atzmon resigned as president of Friedman's IDF following his 1996 conviction for Israeli election campaign finance fraud. But his later U.S. activities would prove to be much more disturbing.
  
  Atzmon and his business partner Ezra Harel are the majority owners (57%) of ICTS—International Consultants on Targeted Security, run by "former [Israeli] military commanding officers and veterans of government intelligence and security agencies" according its Web site. In 1999, Atzmon's Netherlands-based firm took over management of security at Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, through ICTS' subsidiary Huntleigh USA.
  
  This convicted Likud criminal's firm was in charge of security at Logan Airport—inspecting the validity of passports and visas, searching cargo, screening passengers—when two airliners were hijacked from there on Sept. 11, 2001, and demolished the World Trade Center towers in New York.
  
  Is it possible that Steven L. Friedman's exalted position in U.S. and Israeli politics lent influence to help accomplish this seemingly difficult task?—vetting a man with Atzmon's past as the principal figure in security at Logan, and other American and European airports as well. (Atzmon's firm also advises the U.S. and other governments on airport security.)

Zionist Establishment Funds Likud

• Ronald Lauder: heir of his mother Estée Lauder's cosmetic billions, rightist ideologue, and leading Likud contributor and funding coordinator. Ronald Lauder is treasurer of the World Jewish Congress and a Trustee of the Special Reserve Fund of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith. His Ronald S. Lauder foundation, operating in the former East Bloc, paid for the ADL to open an office in Vienna, Austria, where Lauder was U.S. Ambassador in the 1980s. One of the WJC and ADL's top priorities in Central and Eastern Europe is the protection of hedge fund operator George Soros. The Lauder Foundation works in tandem with Soros's Open Society Institute, which advocates legalization of all narcotics and support for the Columbian FARC and other narco-terrorist agencies. After serving as U.S. Ambassador to Austria in the 1980s, Lauder personally became a major investor in "privatized" Eastern European properties.
  
  Lauder was named (by Secretary of State Sir Lawrence Eagleburger, former President of Kissinger Associates), to head the Central European Development Corporation (CEDC) that was created under a Federal act to function as a kind of pig trough for those with influence around the diplomatic community. CEDC is a consortium that mingles U.S. Congress-appropriated monies with those from private businessmen. With offices in Berlin and Budapest, CEDC invests in "privatized" Eastern European businesses for a nickel on the dollar.
  
  A cover story in the Jan. 29, 1996 issue of New York's The Jewish Week reported that Lauder funded Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign for Prime Minister in that year. This created a scandal and crisis for Lauder, who was running for chairman of the "politically neutral" Council of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CPMAJO). Within the CPMAJO, 20-odd leaders who favored the Oslo Accords peace process decided to protest Lauder's nomination.
  
  The report, that had been put together by investigative reporters of Jewish Week and Ha'aretz, charged that there was the "possible existence of flows of cash and indirect support from Lauder to Netanyahu's political activities." The article was bolstered by the staff-swapping between Lauder and Netanyahu, including the Prime Minister's loaning of his 1996 American campaign strategist, Arthur Finkelstein, who then served as Lauder's consultant during Lauder's failed 1989 run for the New York Mayor's office.
  
  The 1996 article, and the 1999 Jewish Week article about the Philadelphia money laundering, both spotlighted Lauder's boss role with the rightist think-tank, von Hayek feudalist economics propaganda unit and Likud campaign nest, the Shalem Center in Jerusalem.
  
  Lauder was Shalem Center's chairman, founder and funder. Shalem's executive director and fund-raiser Steven Schneier, worked as an aide on Netanyahu's campaign, raising money for the Likud. But Schneier was previously the paid full-time director of Philadelphia lawyer Steven Friedman and Menachem Atzmon's tax-exempt charity, the "IDF." From 1990 to 1994, leading up to and immediately after Netanyahu's primary campaign, Schneier received a total of $220,000 from IDF.
  
  Then in 1994, Ron Lauder contributed $36,415 to Steven Friedman's other Philadelphia tax-exempt front, the "Israel Research Foundation." In 1995 and 1996, Friedman's Schneier went on the payroll of Lauder's Shalem Center—where he worked for the Likud election campaign.
  
  Both the "IDF" and the "IRF" tax-exempt charities were dissolved on the same day in 1997.
• Mortimer Zuckerman: real estate kingpin, media baron, promoter of Likud and war. Zuckerman owns U.S. News & World Report weekly magazine, and the New York Daily News. In his own U.S. News column, he agitates for war against Saudi Arabia and other targets of Sharon's rage. Zuckerman's Boston Properties firm owns nearly 150 expensive offices—including Citicorp Center, hotels, and industrial sites in Boston, Manhattan, San Francisco, and Washington.
  
  Zuckerman is a director of "Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces."
  
  A few years ago, the powerful media boss sought the honor of succeeding Ron Lauder as chairman of Council of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CPMAJO), to take over in 2001 when Lauder's term as chairman was to end. In Jewish organizational circles, this position is known familiarly as "King of the Jews." But Mort Zuckerman ran into trouble. It seems his marriage to a non-Jew, art curator Marla Prather, was deemed non-Kosher by the racists in the Council. This was disposed of: in Summer 2000, Zuckerman divorced Prather. He was advanced to the head of the line of candidates, and took over as CPMAJO chairman in July, 2001.
• Morton Klein: president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), a right-wing lobby and Likud promotion agency. ZOA campaigned actively against the peace policies of Israel's Rabin government, as part of the U.S.-based agitation which led to Rabin's assassination. Among Klein's financial backers are Moscowitz, and leading supporters of the Meyer Kahane and Kach Party terrorists.
  
  In July, 2001, U.S. intervention moved Israel to block a catastrophic religious provocation at Jerusalem's Temple Mount. The next day—July 30, 2001—Armageddonist "Evangelicals" and their right-wing Jewish Zionist allies converged on the White House. Klein and other participants in that secretive meeting later told EIR that the "end-timers" conveyed a chilling blackmail message to President Bush: approve an all-out war on Palestinians by the Israeli regime, or your Evangelical Christian political supporters will desert you. They said, according to the participants, that there are about 70 million Evangelical Christians. If only 10% of them are solidly behind the extremists settlers' agenda, that is an enormous force that could swing the balance of U.S. political power and destroy the Bush Presidency.
  
  Others at the White House that day, meeting Bush liaison Tim Goeglein, included representatives of Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, the "International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem"; end-of-the-world sects seeking to rebuild Solomon's Temple; and a Jewish ally of Klein's. The same day, before delivering their blackmail message, the group met at a luncheon with Sharon's Ambassador David Ivry, to discuss what they would tell the Bush Administration.
• Joe Marmelstein: New York watch importer and big Likud donor. Marmelstein is affiliated with the end-timesAteret Cohanim, and with JDL terrorist circles, according to sources.
  
  Why did Netanyahu provoke Muslim horror and anger by opening the tunnel at the Temple Mount? The Miami Herald reported, "Sources in Netanyahu's Likud and former Labor government officials cite a political payoff to several key American campaign contributors, including Irving Moscowitz, one of the top bankrollers of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, American watch importer Joe Marmelstein and Canadian Mark Belzberg [who] pressured Netanyahu to open the tunnel."
• Rose Mattus: ice cream empress and funder of thugs in America and Israel. She and her late husband made a fortune from owning the Scandinavian-sounding Haagen Dazs ice cream company. A heavy contributor to the Likud, Rose Mattus was an early sponsor of Rabbi Meyer Kahane, founder of the terrorist Jewish Defense league. She reportedly opposed Kahane's move to Israel, but is a leading sponsor of the memorialization of the genocide-promoting Kahane as a Jewish hero.
Aish HaTorah organization: Likud money conduit and propaganda agency. Posing as an Orthodox Jewish religious group, Aish HaTorah is a sophisticated psychological center garnering major contributions for the Likud/extreme right apparatus. Among important donors are actor Kirk Douglas and talk show host Larry King. Aish HaTorah's headquarters is in East Jerusalem, and it has offices in New York and Los Angeles. According to the Israeli Labor Party's current General Secretary, Knesset Member Ofir Pines-Paz, Aish HaTorah is suspected of acting as a secret channel illegally funding Netanyahu.

Aish HaTorah runs HonestReporting.com, a McCarthyite Internet police organization created to attack American critics of the Likud war policies. This operation mobilized hard and fast to kill the 2001 "Israeli art students" espionage scandal related to the Sept. 11 attacks, after that story was broken by EIR and by Fox News in December 2001.

One aspect of the Aish HaTorah money flow is the group's Jerusalem Fund, created in 1992 in conjunction with Jersualem Mayor Ehud Olmert. It is part of Olmert's complex of dirty-money Likud front organizations, including his own New Jerusalem Fund, which raises political cash from Armageddon-seeking Christians in America.

Critics often accused the company of exploitative neocolonialism and described it as the archetypal example of the influence of a multinational corporation on the internal politics of the so-called "banana republics." In 1954, the Guatemalan government of Colonel Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán was toppled by a group of Guatemalan army officers who invaded from Honduras with the covert assistance of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (see Operation PBSUCCESS). Before that, the directors of UFCO had lobbied to convince the Truman and Eisenhower administrations that Colonel Arbenz intended to align Guatemala with the Soviet bloc. Besides the disputed issue of Arbenz's allegiance to Communism, the directors of UFCO may have feared Arbenz's stated intention of purchasing uncultivated land from the company (at the value declared in tax returns) and redistributing it among Native American peasants. The American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was an avowed opponent of Communism whose law firm had represented United Fruit. His brother Allen Dulles was the director of the CIA. The brother of the Assistant Secretary of State for InterAmerican Affairs John Moors Cabot had once been president of United Fruit. The overthrow of Arbenz, however, failed to benefit the Company. Its stock market value declined along with its profit margin. The Eisenhower administration proceeded with antitrust action against the company, which forced it to divest in 1958. In 1972, the company sold off the last of their Guatemalan holdings after over a decade of decline. Company holdings in Cuba, which included sugar mills in the Oriente region of the island, were expropriated by the 1959 revolutionary government led by Fidel Castro. By April 1960 Castro was accusing the company of aiding Cuban exiles and supporters of former leader Fulgencio Batista in initiating a seaborn invasion of Cuba directed from the United States.[1] Castro warned the U.S. that "Cuba is not another Guatemala" in one of many combative diplomatic exchanges before the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961. Despite significant economic pressure on Cuba, the company was unable to recoup cost and compensation from the Cuban government.[1] Reputation ========== The United Fruit Company was frequently accused of bribing government officials in exchange for preferential treatment, exploiting its workers, contributing little by way of taxes to the countries in which it operated, and working ruthlessly to consolidate monopolies. Latin American journalists sometimes referred to the company as el pulpo ("the octopus"), and leftist parties in Central and South America encouraged the Company's workers to strike. Major Latin American writers such as Carlos Luis Fallas of Costa Rica, Miguel Ángel Asturias of Guatemala, Gabriel García Márquez of Colombia, and Pablo Neruda of Chile, denounced the Company in their literature. The business practices of United Fruit were also frequently criticized by journalists, politicians, and artists in the United States. Little Steven released a song called "Bitter Fruit" about the company's misdeeds. In 1950, Gore Vidal published a novel (Dark Green, Bright Red), in which a thinly fictionalized version of United Fruit supports a military coup in a thinly fictionalized Guatemala. This reputation for malfeasance, however, was somewhat offset among those who worked for it or in the regions it controlled by the Company's later efforts to provide its employees with reasonable salaries, adequate medical care, and free private schooling. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Company and its successor, United Brands, created an Associated Producers Program that sought to transfer some of its land holdings to private growers whose produce it commercialized. As the Company gradually lost its land and transportation monopolies, its status as a capitalist bête noire declined.

Remarks at a Fundraising Dinner for Senator Arlen Specter in Bowmansdale, Pennsylvania
June 9, 1992 Thank you, Arlen, for that wonderfully warm introduction and, I might say at the top of these remarks, for being such a great United States Senator. It is essential that Arlen Specter be returned to office. May I just say that Barbara and I treasure our friendship with Joan and Arlen. We've known each other a long, long time. This isn't just kind of the normal political endorsement; I really mean it. There is a handful of United States Senators that really make things happen, that stand for principles, and that fight for his constituents. If you don't believe me, you ought to try riding in from the Philadelphia Airport, for example, into Philadelphia with Arlen….. I know there are a lot of people to congratulate, but I congratulate Marilyn Ware Lewis and Alex Grass here who are the cochairmen of the dinner; salute my old friend and our State chairman, Elsie Hillman; another old friend who is with us tonight, a strong supporter of Arlen, the famous and wonderful Walter Annenberg who is here, right there. Barbara and I have been married 47 years, but every time she sees Walter, I worry a little bit about it. She re-falls in love with him. And I'm troubled by that. [Laughter] But we Bushes admire and respect him. To Bob Jubelirer who is with us and Michael Ryan, it's good to see so many elected members of the Pennsylvania Legislature with us here; to Anne Anstine and Herb Barness, our national committee people. Barbara Hafer is with us; Ernie Preate. And I want to thank Tonia Tecce for the national anthem; the pledge, done well by those kids. I asked them if they were nervous; not at all. They did it well, not one glitch in the Pledge of Allegiance. ….

Here Nixon’s entire Cabinet Was Hand Picked by Walter Annenberg including Henry Kissinger http://afgen.com/media_control.html Walter Annenberg, the TV Guide magnate, was a lofty Republican. On the campaign trail in April, 1988, George Bush flew into Los Angeles to woo Reagan's kitchen cabinet. "This is the topping on the cake," Bush's regional campaign director told the Los Angeles Times. The Bush team met at Annenberg's plush Rancho Mirage estate at Sunnylands, California. It was at the Annenberg mansion that Nixon's cabinet was chosen, and the state's social and contributor registers built over a quarter-century of state political dominance by Ronald Reagan, whose acting career was launched by Operation MOCKINGBIRD
