“While the Zionists try to make the rest of the World believe that the
national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation
of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. It
doesn't even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine
for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organisation
for their international world swindler, endowed with its own sovereign
rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for
convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks"--Adolf Hitler
When Israel throws accusations of others belligerence as a pretext for their own violent behavior I like to recap and review Israel's history to keep it all in perspective...
FBI investigates MILCO nuclear trigger smuggling to Israel
California-based
MILCO International Inc. shipped 15 orders totaling 800 krytrons to the
Israeli Ministry of Defense between 1979 and 1983. Israeli
movie producer Arnon Milchan's Heli Trading Company brokered the
transactions. A krytron is a gas-filled tube used as a high speed switch.
Export from the US requires a US State Department munitions license
because krytrons can be used as triggers for nuclear weapons. The
US rejected several requests for krytron export licenses to Israel.
MILCO obtained the krytrons from EG&G Inc.
A US Attorney
tried to get MILCO President Richard Kelly Smyth to implicate Milchan in
the illegal krytron export during plea bargaining. The negotiation
failed, and in May, 1984, Smyth was indicted on 30 counts of smuggling
and making false statements.
Smyth and his wife fled the US and remained at large
until captured in Malaga, Spain in July of 2001 after he applied for
Social Security benefits. Smyth pled guilty to violating the US
Arms Export Control Act. In November, Smyth was sentenced to 40
years in prison and a $20,000 fine, though he was free within four
years. In 1985 a Federal Grand Jury was convened in Los Angeles to
investigate potential Atomic Energy Act and Arms Export Control Act
violations, but no charges were ever filed against Milchan or those who
helped Smyth flee the US and covered his expenses abroad.
A 2011 biography
called "Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon
Arnon Milchan" claims
Milchan was recruited into Israel's LAKAM economic espionage unit in
his 20's and became a key operative for Benjamin Blumberg (head of
LAKAM), and Rafi Eitan (who ran Jonathan Pollard and infiltrated NUMEC).
Milchan is the confidant of Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the book, Blumberg taught Milchan how to establish front
companies and secret bank accounts to launder millions in commissions
obtained during LAKAM and Mossad transactions.
Milchan encouraged
Smyth in 1972 to incorporate MILCO to share profits on export sales with
his Tel Aviv-based Milchan Brothers company. Milchan Brothers
received purchase orders from Blumberg and sent them via secure telex to
Smyth. MILCO did 80 percent of its business with Milchan,
including transfers of other US technologies useful to Israel's clandestine nuclear
weapons programs. (Gyroscopes, neutron generators, high-speed
oscilloscopes, computerized flight control systems.) According to
the book, after Smyth was ordered to appear before a federal prosecutor
in Los Angeles, Milchan claimed "I felt bad, but I was ordered to cut
all contact with Smyth." Milchan officially denies any knowledge of
MILCO or Milchan Brothers roles in krytron smuggling
The following FBI files reveal the
FBI's interest in Milchan after a confidential informant revealed his
ties to Smyth in 1992. The declassified but heavily redacted
"secret" communications detail the bureau's fascination with Milchan,
from his entry in "Who's Who" to star-studded associates
such as Robert Di Niro and an
Iran-Contra operative. The final page of the
FBI file is a clipping of Thomas Friedman's May, 1985 New York Times
interview with Milchan who had quickly left the US for Jerusalem.
Milchan told Friedman "that a krytron was a small little gizmo which
anyone can go buy freely in the United States. You can use them or
all kinds of things, including, incidentally, making cholent."
Friedman clarified that "Cholent is a stew of beans, carrots, potatoes
and beef that is a traditional Jewish dish prepared on Friday night for
eating on the Sabbath. Mr. Milchan said that with a krytron timer a
stove could be set to turn on automatically to heat up cholent on the
Sabbath without anyone working to light the fire."
