Speaking of the ADL

Came across this interdasting article re ADL and Stasi yesterday, while looking up connections between Antifa and Stasi

Thirty years of collusion between the ADL and Stasi

by Jeffrey Steinberg

On June 28, a short article in a leading German newspaper, the Franlifurter Allgemeine Zeitung, shed new light on one of the nastiest mysteries of the Cold War epoch: the collusion between Soviet Bloc secret police services and the nominally Jewish American "civil rights" group, the Anti-Defamation Leagueof B 'nai B'rith (ADL). The article, by German Jew­ish historian Michael Wolffsohn, revealed that in 1985, the East German regime, through its State Security Service, the Staatsicherheitsdienst ("Stasi"), launched a "friendship of­fensive" toward American Jewish organizations. The dread­ed Stasi, which had a special role in carrying put highly sophisticated and dangerous overseas secret police opera­tions within the Soviet intelligence machine, found its most willing western partners at the ADL and at the World Jewish Congress (WJC), an international Zionist organization taken over by ADL Honorary Vice Chairman Edgar Bronfman in the early 1980s. The revelation is especially shocking because it is notori­ous that the "German Democratic Republic," as the Soviet­occupied east zone of Germany was called, harbored the unrepentant Nazis-in case they should come in useful again. The collaboration continued even after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. According to Wolffsohn's account, one of the final acts of ADL-Stasi collusion involved an effort to free an important KGB agent from jail in Israel. Curiously, the Soviet agent, Shabtai Kalmanowitch, had not only penetrated the inner circles of Israeli politics; during the 1980s, before his arrest, Kalmanowitch had been working closely with Lt. Col. Oliver North and the "Project Democracy" apparatus inside the Reagan-Bush administration.In an earlier interview with the Washington Post, Wolff-

sohn had presented evidence, g�ered from the archives of the East German Foreign Ministjry and the Stasi, confirming that the ADL-East German coll�boration continued follow­ing the reunification of Germanx and the formal dismantling of the hated East German sectet police agency. Ex-Stasi officers, operating through infoQ:nal "clubs," and bankrolled by millions of dollars in pilfered East German funds, contin­ue to steer the activities of neo-Nazi gangs all across Germa­ny, Wolffsohn charged; and gf(�UpS like the ADL and WJC continue to provide crucial SC$ propaganda equating the reunified Germany with a mena¢ing "Fourth Reich." Furthermore, ADL-linked financier networks involving people such as Marc Rich, Edmond Safra, and George Soros, had abetted the Stasi, the KGBi, and other East bloc secret services in large-scale smuggl�g of hard currency, gold, diamonds, and other assets acrqss the Iron Curtain into safe havens in Switzerland, Israel, Hbngkong, and the Caribbean for later use. Today, nearly five years s�nce Stasi headquarters was ransacked by angry East Germaps in the revolution of 1989, ongoing dirty tricks deployed against strategically sensitive targets make it evident that thfl old capabilities, or at least some of them, are in place. Ampng the telltale signs are: the attempt at violent"antifa" (anli-fascist) demonstrations in Germany against U.S. Presidept Bill Clinton and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl in Juo/, when Clinton announced the end of the U . S . -British special relationship and the begin­ning of a new special partnershp with unified Germany; and the spate of terrorist attacks against Jewish communities worldwide, aimed at derailing �e Middle East peace process. Both the German-U.S. partner�hip and the Middle East ac­cords threaten the British geopolitical interests that the ADL-

Stasi apparatus has always defended, because both have the potential to radically shift the axioms which have controlled international policy for the postwar era and especially the last 30 years.

A complicated web

The players and events at the center of this story will be unfamiliar to most readers; and the idea that Soviet bloc secret police agencies successfully won the support of the best-known Jewish "civil rights" groups in America clearly contradicts almost everything reported in the major western press. Almost. In January 1993, a curious item in the San Francisco Chronicle revealed that local police and the FBI had discov­ered that a long-time ADL official was spying on behalf of the South African and Israeli secret services. A year-long probe ensued, which revealed that the ADL had illegally obtained confidential police files on tens of thousands of American citizens and had been carrying out a campaign of espionage and disruption against nearly 1,000 domestic political, religious, and civil rights organizations. Among the targets of the ADL dirty tricks were such civil rights leaders as the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The ADL domestic spying, it was revealed, traced back as far as World War II. But even these revelations about domestic spying and collaboration with "friendly" foreign intelligence services did little to prepare most people for the truth thatthe ADLhad been "sleeping with the enemy" throughout much of the Cold War,inflicting grievous damages, including undoubt­edly the loss of lives, on U.S. national security. East-West underground economy For the past 16 years, EIR's counterintelligence staff has kept the ADL's courtship of East Berlin and Moscow on a wide range of strategic issues under scrutiny. Our investiga­tion began in 1978 when Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., the founding editor of EIR and a presidential candidate, request­ed a study which led to the publication of the book Dope, Inc., the bestseller which uncovered the highest political and financial levels behind international narcotics trafficking. Beyond the politics, there has always been a strong "busi­ness" side to the ADL-Stasi-KGB friendship, LaRouche's associates found. The ADL, as the traditional public relations shield of the National Crime Syndicate founded by Meyer Lansky during the 1920s, has always had a major stake in the illegal arms and narcotics underground economy stretching across the East-West divide. This now has a turnover of an estimated $1 trillion a year. In the course of our investigation, we discovered one of the least-publicized aspects of the Iran-Contra scandal: the collusion between the "secret, parallel government" led by then-Vice President George Bush and Marine Lt. Col. OllieNorth, and the Soviet bloc intelligen�e services, in the illegal arms and dope trade

Caught off-guard when the West Germans cleared Ru· dolph, in April 1985, Neal Sher leaked confidential Justice Department files to the WJC head Edgar Bronfman, who launched an all-out propaganda offensive against the West German authorities for "covering up" for Nazi war criminals

At a "World Gathering of Jewish Survivors of the Holocaust" sponsored by Bronfmanthe same month, Sher, still a U.S. official, wildly lied that NASAi had 600 Nazi scientists on the payroll and that the entire U. S. military scientific program was based on the work of "Nazi scientists." Four months earlier, at the WJC's annual board of governors' meeting in Vienna, Austria,Bronfman si$naled his personal detente with Moscow by calling upon !world Jewry to mobilize to stop President Reagan's SDI. Rankled over the bad turn in the Rudolph case, Sher and Bronfman turned to East Germ� mouthpiece Charles Allen. In April 1986, Allen released It book-length version of his Soviet-and East German-fed ptlopaganda, Nazi War Crimi­nals In America: Facts … A4tion: The Basic Handbook. In that book, he denounced Lyndon LaRouche for defending a "Nazi war criminal," Krafft Ehricke, another leading Peenemiinde scientist, who werlt on to playa pivotal role in America's space program. Appearing on a New York City radio interview with a Jewish befense League member on April 18, 1986, Allen lied that Uyndon LaRouche had issued death threats against him, Neal Sher, and Elizabeth Holtzman

Case study 3: the 'getLaRouche' task force

Allen's smear job against Lyndon LaRouche was neither the first nor the last occasion �hen the ADL and the Stasi would join forces to target the American political economist and statesman. In 1973, at the same time that Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman and Henry Kissinger were opening the Justice De­partment to Moscow and East Bierlin' s propagandists, anoth­er case of ADL-Stasi collusiori surfaced. This time,it was the FBI that played the role of behind-the-scenes partner. FBI documents partially decl�ified and released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal that the FBI's Counterintelligence Prograrn ("Cointelpro") targeted LaRouche for assassination in 11973. The FBI papers show that the FBI had encouraged BUreau "moles" inside the lead­ership of the Communist PartylUSA to undertake to "elimi­nate" LaRouche, in the belief that his death would destroy the National Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC), the phil­osophical association he had folmded in the mid-1960s. At the same time, the East! German Stasi ran a parallel operation inside West Germany, targeting an American LaRouche colleague whose employment required him to peri­odically travel into East Berlinl The American was drugged by the Stasi, apparently grilled for details about the LaRouche movement, and then dumped \lack in the western zone. The FBI and Stasi efforts Wew up in their faces on New Year's Day 1974, as LaRoucheiand his colleagues uncovered critical details of the East-Wese covert operations

this sounds familiar

When leaflets and newspapers published by the LaRouche movement began appearing on the streets of New York City and a score of other American cities accusing the FBI and Stasi of collaborating in an assassination scheme, the ADL and the New York Times stepped in to launch a slander-disinformation campaign against the relatively un­known Lyndon LaRouche to discredit his charges. In early January, the Times devoted nearly 3,000 words, starting on the front page of a Sunday edition, to lyingthat LaRouche and his group was a "right-wing cult." The article was widely distributed by the ADL, which, according to internal ADL correspondence, began immediately targeting individual as­sociates of the LaRouche movement for harassment, and, in several instances, for kidnapping. The January 1974 slander began a 20-year black propa­ganda collusion between the ADL and the Stasi against LaRouche and associates. Every slander published in the American or European media targeting LaRouche and poli­cies associated with him from 1973 onward would come from the poison pens of either the ADL, the Stasi, the KGB-or all three. '

Target: Schiller Institute The Stasi "neo-Nazi" operation& in West Germany al­lowed Hirsch and companyto tar legitimate German patriotic organizations,including LaRouche'� Schiller Institute, with the brush of "right-wing extremism.'� From the 1980 launch­ing of Blick nach Rechts, Hirsch, losen, and Engelmann repeatedly turned their Stasi propaganda sheet over to attacks against LaRouche. Between 1985 and the early-1994 arrest of Hirsch, over 30 slanders against LaRouche and his Ger­man associates were published. In one of the very first issues of Blick, Rev. Friedrich-Wilhelm Haack, a Protestant minis­ter who came to Bavaria from Easl Germany in the mid-1950s, penned an article labeling LaRouche and his associ­ates a "political cult." Haack was the West German represen­tative of a U.S.-based ADL front I group called the Cult Awareness Network, which has sinqe been identified as an international kidnap-for-hire gang, tlmploying hooligans to kidnap and "deprogram" childrenof wealthy families
