You're welcome, Joe. I have always argued that the key to understanding zionism is that its relationship with Judaism, like its relationship with everything else, is parasitical and opportunistic. Without the smokescreen of the Jewish angle, zionism stands utterly naked as a purely criminal enterprise, with no conceivable redeeming quality.
But this Jewish angle has proven to be amazingly useful in obfuscating the truth, even in cases like the 'ringworm experiments', where shortly after the Nazi genocide, hundreds of thousands of Mizrahi (Arab Jewish) children were deliberately exposed to fatal levels of radiation. Or, much later, when Ariel Sharon was repeatedly, begged to stop importing neo-nazi Russians into the Jewish state, but chose to ignore these pleas.
It is useful to zionists to have armed Jewish settlers to populate the stolen land, and to have Jewish immigrants to fill the ranks of its army of occupation and invasion. It is useful to zionists to have sayanim scattered all over the world, ready to help the Mossad, no questions asked. It is useful to the zionists to have legions of hasbarachiks, ready to respond to any criticism or deviation from the zionist agenda on the internet, on tv, in the press, and among Western politicians. And it is useful to identify their own unbelievably savage, murderous, thieving enterprise with the victims of the Nazi holocaust.
The emergence of the Russian mafia needs to be examined in much more detail than it has. Robert I. Friedman was one of the pioneers in this field, but he had only scratched the surface before he died mysteriously of a 'tropical disease'. Since then, there have been bits of information published here, others there, but nobody has come forward to continue the work he began, of putting together the big picture.
Zionism has always used specially-designated 'rabid dogs' when it was politically expedient to have certain jobs done while maintaining plausible deniability. In the pre-state period, these took the form of the Irgun Tzvai Leumi headed by Menachem Begin, and Yitzhak Shamir's Stern Gang, both of which grew out of the fascist Betar Youth movement, which recruited Jewish militants from Europe and the United States. They were able to carry out bombings and massacres and rapes and looting against the Palestinian native population, and assassinations like those of Lord Moyne and Count Bernadotte, as well as bombing of British installations, all of which led directly to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the establishment of the zionist state, while the designated 'respectable' zionists represented by "Labour" Zionists expressed their shock, shock at what was happening. It was not long after the state was established, before these elements were seamlessly integrated into its political establishment, today being honored as the founding heroes of Israel. The bombing of the King David Hotel, which killed 91 people, is now officially celebrated every year on its anniversary. Not only Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, but Ariel Sharon, Tzippi Livni's father and many others who make up today's Israeli political elite, crawled out of this particular cesspool.
A similar function was served by the Jewish Defense League, led by Rabbi Meir Kahane, who carried out murderous terrorist attacks against Arab, anti-zionist, anti-Vietnam war and Soviet targets in the United States on behalf of, and at the direction of, the Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, while officially denounced by the Israelis. Not by coincidence, it was Robert Friedman's study of Kahane's movement that led directly to his investigative work on the Russian mafia. In 1998, Friedman wrote an important article for the Nation entitled The Kahane connection: how Shamir used J.D.L. terrorism; all I can get is the first few sentences, unless I pay for a monthly subscription to the article-finding service. If someone can get me the full article for free, they'll earn my undying gratitude:
If it were not for Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Tehiya Party leader Geula Cohen, Rabbi Meir Kahane might still be just another obscure Orthodox rabbi giving Hebrew lessons in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Despite their recent vehement denunciations of Kahane, the two were part of a covert cabal that helped make the militant leader of the Jewish Defense League an international figure and a force to be reckoned with in Israel. Shamir and Cohen were at the center of a group that masterminded the league's often violent campaign against Soviet targets during its heyday in the late 1960s and early 1970s, seriously threatening detente, according to former J.D.L. officials, ...
This historical context is crucial to understanding the role that the Russian mafia plays today, as an integral, but deniable component of the multi-tentacled zionist entity. Only by ignoring the history of zionism, that has consistently created and used such 'rogue' elements to carry out missions from which it was politic for 'Israel' to distance itself, can one pretend that the vital connections between the Russian mafia and zionist policy at every stage of its evolution from its conception, incubation and full-fledged emergence onto the world stage as a global criminal empire, are coincidental or irrelevant.
