Even though I was Mrs. Levy for 20 years, people still feel free to accuse me of antisemitism when I point out the obvious. One area in America where no one is allowed to talk about Jewish influence and power is the media and publishing. The New Yorker is edited, of course, by Mr. Remnick who is, of course, Jewish. In every issue there is at least two to three stories about for for Jewish readers. This week's issue had a Jewish art maestro in Soho and Mr. Zell, a real estate billionaire who is buying a big hunk of the US newspaper business. Time to read this interesting and revealing story.

Where will Sam Zell take the struggling Tribune Company?
by Connie Bruck
In April, 2005, Sam Zell travelle to Abu Dhabi to meet Crow Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan. Zell is best known as a real-estate magnate whose reputation has been enhance by the sale, last February, for thirty-nine billion dollars, of Equity Office Properties Trust, the largest collection of office buildings in the country. Zell, who is sixty-six delights in claiming that at the time the sale—to Blackstone, the private-equity firm—was “the largest single transaction that has ever been done. But for decades his appetite for economic opportunity has lured him beyond real estate into investment in oil and gas, barges, insurance wineries, cruise ships, department stores, waste-to-energy power projects, and radio stations. In April, he signed an $8.2-billion deal that would effectively give him control of Tribune Company, the giant media conglomerate, whos assets include the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. For about a dozen years, he has also invested aggressively abroad, most recently in the Middle East.
Many a newspaper organization has been taken over by Jewish guys in real estate. The need to control the news is important to them which is why 90% of the stories about real estate matters have been so full of lies, evasions and a steadfast refusal to tell the truth. Now that even the most dim readers have figured out the real estate industry is in full destruct-mode, the media is telling us a tiny bit of the truth. It should occur to people that the media exists not to inform but to train people to see reality in a fashion that keeps other people rich and happy. In other words, the media is a propaganda machine designed to not only control minds but politics.
For example, when the owner of Bloomberg news who is Jewish, was running for mayor, the Jewish New York Times fully supported him and even had the termerity to write an article about how the Hispanic/Catholic rival on the Democratic side couldn't get in the news at all. The other major papers are also owned by Jewish plutocrats so they were all operating on the same wave length in that race.
It is very forbidden to mention the high level of Jewish involvement and ownership of the media, of course. These organs will hammer anyone who mentions any of this. But the curious article written in a Jewish-edited major magazine about yet another Jew taking over a huge hunk of the newspaper business: this is OK since at no point does the reporter/writer mention who owns the New Yorker or who edits it nor does the reporter mention if they, themselves, are also Jewish. Indeed, this article reveals a great deal about Jewish thinking about money, the media and power.
Without examination. For example, the writer wonders why a Jewish real estate king would want a newspaper. This is too silly. Since many of them have wanted and still hold papers that lose money on the surface, one can easily dig lower and find out the true motivation for this mania.
The New Yorker:
When some of Zell’s friends heard about the deal, they were surprised that he wanted to enter the newspaper business—and at a moment when it is struggling to survive. One friend told me that he thought Zell may have been motivated, at least in part, by his love of Chicago,
So, he is buying the LA Times because he loves Chicago? Even on its face, this is pure lunacy. If I had billions of dollars and wanted to get the American people to do things for me, I would spend it on buying politicians and buying media. Then I would control the means and the message. And why is Mr. Zell so very interested in controlling us? Out of love? Or does he have a different agenda, one that is not so loving at all, nay, one that might destroy us?
From the New Yorker:
Zell, who was raised in an Orthodox household and is a supporter of Israel, says that his religion has never been an issue in Abu Dhabi or in other Arab countries. “In no way, shape, or form do I hide the fact that I believe in Israel—open kimono!” he declared, using one of his favorite expressions to somewhat bizarre effect. But, he continued, “from the beginning of civilization Muslim rulers had Jewish advisers. I think it is actually a plus.”
Of course, as I have pointed out in the past, the survival of the Jewish people under the despotic rule of the Christians in the West was to cleave to the Princes and be of service to them. Supporting despotic rule that crushes the masses has been high on the agenda for self-survival for many Jews over the centuries. This is due to the evil conditions under which they struggled to survive. Both the rulers and the Jewish advisors feared and hated the mass of peasants.
A cruel irony of history is, whenever the Princes were under seige or in trouble, they would grab the nearest Jewish advisor and the entire Jewish community and toss them to the raging mobs at the gates in the hopes this will tame the wild beast. Mr. Zell is doing business with the upper levels of the ruling elites in the oil kingdoms. Right now, the only thing that keeps these despotic Princes in power is them sharing the oil benefits with the masses. But right below the surface is this river of fury and hate and disgust. The entire bin Laden revolution is about cleansing Islam of these very leaders who are using Jewish advisors. If times are good, the masses will be inert. But the minute the economy changes for one reason or another, the mobs will storm these palaces. As it is, the signs of revolution are everywhere and are suppressed by the mighty US empire.
Which is sinking fast due to financial problems caused by clever speculators and their various schemes and games. These people have toiled hard and have been supported heavily by the media owned by various people who are often Jewish, to set the US on the road to ruin with the 'free trade' and 'monetarism' theology. Right now, the US can hunt down and kill many revoutionaries as well as arming and guarding the corrupt kings and princes in the Middle East.
Things have certainly changed there since the days my father and mother ran around that region. Back then, they could not mention me because my name was Mrs. Levy. All signs of Jewishness were ruthlessly eliminated by order of the Umma. Today, it is quite different. The rulers know that any Jews they bring in to do the 'dirty work'...ie: make money off of Muslims...have no power. If the Jews give them any trouble, they can easily toss them over the wall to the masses to be ripped apart. They can, if the economy goes bad, blame their Jewish advisors, in classic style like the Christians have been wont to do.
More Mr. Zell:
Murdoch’s bid of sixty dollars a share represented a sixty-seven-per-cent premium on Dow Jones’s stock price, but Zell chose to overlook the fact that his transaction, unlike Murdoch’s, was highly leveraged; when the deal is done, Tribune will have thirteen billion dollars of debt—the most encumbered balance sheet in the newspaper industry. If profits increase and the company is able to pay down the debt, Zell’s return on the deal would be extraordinary.
Geeze, maybe I should buy something via total debt! $13 billion? Isn't that a lot of loot in a world where bad deals are already sinking our economic ship? As I keep saying, there is this army of pirates and speculators who are dumping an amazing amount of debt on top of everything and anything. Mr. Zell isn't buying something with money he has saved, he is running up huge debts that his buddies in the banking sector are going to give him! This is very much part of this flood of red ink that has engulfed this planet. He needs this red ink to buy a bunch of papers so he can run propaganda that benefits him and his activities in the Middle East.
For example, he and his Prince buddies in the Middle East hate the Shi'ites. So we can expect a lot of anti-shi'a propaganda and demands the US kill them for the Princes in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The Jews hate the Shi'ites because of the ones in Lebanon. So this is two birds killing with one stone: the US military. And to do this, they need to hypnotize Americans who gain absolutely nothing from all this. Also, if Zell had control of major media, he can control the President and on down, in the US. Note how Bush, very unpopular due to high gasoline prices, high inflation and crashing economy as well as a very unpopular war in Iraq and Afghanistan, is not being hounded at all by the media, considering how unpopular he is.
Unlike with Jimmy Carter, the media is still quite kind to Bush and on top of this, our Congress is not responding to antiwar sentiment at all. And the fury this is causing isn't appearing in our media, not nearly to the degree it is in reality.
More Zell:
In order to make his acquisition of Tribune financially viable, Zell devised a structure, never before implemented in a deal this large, that would enable the company to pay essentially no taxes.
And the US is deep in the red. We passed $9 trillion in national debt this week. This debt was only $1 billion when Reagan stepped into office. Were there any headlines this week about this? HAHAHA. And my cat is green and the dog played the fiddle while the moon jumped over the cow. These things are seldom mentioned. Indeed, all the questions asked in this 'election' skate over this information as well as a lot of other important information. And this is deliberate. The people who own our government and our media don't care if this country falls apart.
The New Yorker:
This is critical, given the level of debt that the buyout is imposing on the company. Zell’s initial investment of two hundred and fifty million dollars—for which he received a two-hundred-million-dollar promissory note and fifty million dollars in stock—will be redeemed when the deal closes. At that point, Zell will make a new investment of three hundred and fifteen million dollars, in the form of a two-hundred-and-twenty-five-million-dollar, eleven-year loan, plus ninety million dollars for the right to buy forty per cent of the company for between five hundred and six hundred million dollars in the next fifteen years. In the meantime, he will become Tribune’s chairman, with effective control over its daily operations. Zell’s final contribution thus represents less than four per cent of the total value of the deal. Moreover, Zell’s outlay, as debt, would have some protection in the event of bankruptcy; the employees’ shares, as equity, would not.
A classic pirate deal. The guy gets these big loans...and where did the money come from? Tokyo, eh? And using this carry trade, the guys funding him can put down this deal as a money-maker and if it fails, these bankers and this rich Jewish real estate dealer will walk away, free and clear and stick it to the employees and anyone else who trusts them. Cute. This is pretty much the way our entire system is set right now and this is what is collapsing all over the place. With the flow of easy money being disturbed by world financial events in Asia and high oil prices, the schemes to get a slice of the pie in the oil pumping nations or Asia is causing these pirates to make all sorts of queer deals. This deal for the media is, I believe, purely temporary.
All doors for Americans to get news that isn't filtered by these Zionists planning to jump ship and leave us in the lurch, is most important. As things get worse and worse, the native fears of Jewish financial advisors and game players are now quivvering. They can sense the trouble that is coming and hope they can depart and leave this all behind and rush off to a safe place where they can continue to make money via other schemes and arts.
Some of Zell's past:
Burton Kanter, a prominent Chicago tax attorney and an expert on offshore investments, represented the Pritzker family for decades. In 1976, Zell, Kanter, Zell’s brother-in-law Roger Baskes, who was Kanter’s partner, and another lawyer, Alan Hammerman, were indicted in federal court for conspiring to avoid taxes on hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds from the sale of real-estate properties in Reno, Nevada, by rigging transactions through a Bahamas bank. The real-estate deal was Zell’s; the three other men had provided legal services. Zell and Hammerman agreed to testify, with the understanding that charges against them would be dropped. Kanter was acquitted, but Baskes was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison. Zell called him there frequently, and both men say they remain close. Baskes is now an investor.
Note that Baskes is an 'investor'. Once a pirate, what else can he do? And note that these guys are extraterritorial. They use the Queen's tax havens. They don't want to pay taxes. And the US is going into deep financial trouble due to rich guys refusing to pay taxes. And Zell and his gang want to control the media so they can get away with not paying taxes and to prevent us from raiding these tax havens, for example.
Mr. Zell's family fled Hitler:
After his mother, Rochelle, died, in 2000, Zell sent the manuscript to several friends. He has resisted making it public, though, saying that, as the chairman of public companies, he is willing to discuss his business but not his private life. Still, he acknowledged that his family’s history has had a great effect on him. “How could it not?” he told me. “I’m an immigrant’s kid. I have a very different perspective on the world than somebody who grew up in Chicago and led what I would call a normal life. I think that being Jewish means that you’re vulnerable forever. Was there a stronger Jewish community anywhere in the world—more intellectual, more successful—than Germany in the late twenties and early thirties, before Hitler? And seven years later they’re building concentration camps! So, do I expect something like that to happen in the United States? Of course not. Do I think it could? Absolutely.”That conviction is reflected in his foreign investments, many of which are in countries that he views as potential havens. “It means I’m diversifying my exposure,” he said. “A good thing to do, under almost any circumstances.”
There are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and other pirates, too. They all are preparing domiciles in places where they imagine they will be safe when the system they built and exploited crashes. In the past, various deposed royals and dumped leaders simply ran off to some safe haven. The entire excuse for Israel is, it can operate as a home base for Jews who can then flit in and out of countries, doing things and then leaving if their things fail. This way, there is no sense of patriotism or responsiblity. This is why Mr. Zell, who, at the beginning of this long article in the New Yorker, was said to be buying the paper for love of America. Yet it is clear that this is NOT why he is doing this at all. Far from it.
There are many people on earth who think they can move in and out of countries at will so long as they survive. I can understand this. But it is also a problem. For if they come into a country to milk it and then leave it in ruins, this gives cause for the host country to track them down and take back ill-gotten gains, for example.
In our present case, we see the money pouring into our utterly corrupt political system joining with a media that loses money but CREATES INFLUENCE AND POWER being used against the best interests of the American people as a whole. Many a prince, king or queen is using the US media to enhance their power even as we go about, wondering why our world is falling apart. On 9/11, the American people asked, 'Why are we being attacked?' and the political establishment, the media and our rules all yelled at us to GO SHOPPING and not ask any questons. And if we do, we get beaten, tasered or ignored. The news about Bush flying out the bin Ladens and Saudis the day after 9/11 while all Americans were grounded and held down including Bill Clinton who was out of the country was mainly ignored by our media, for example.
The infamous tape of Bush reading in the classroom was also ignored. We found it online by accident and the bloggers not only talked about it a lot, we yelled at the media to broadcast it. THEY REFUSED. When Michael Moore included it in his movie about 9/11, the media attacked him, not Bush. Throughout this whole nightmare, the media mainly sides with Bush. No matter what the topic. I remember when I was part of the team that exposed Bush's AWOL crimes. The New York Times said, 'That is old news and doesn't matter.' A pure lie since anyone opposing Bush will have their pasts examined under a microscope.
In return, Bush supports anything Israel does no matter how criminal. And Israel returns this favor just as Saudi Arabia does likewise. And Europe and Japan. All our problems are not due to Jewish influence, not by a long shot! The many 'allies' we have include a lot of people who are using the United States as a platform for other plans. This is why our empire gets away with murder, torture and fearmongering while we sink into a red ink sea that will destroy our nation. Instead of being naive and imagining we can sail away from these crimes and obligations, we will pay in full. And this is why I am filled with rage over the plans of people including the Bushes buying a lot of land in South America, there are many people setting up nests where they can flee to.
Instead of sticking around and making this nation great. Instead of fighting for our children's futures. Or saving democracy. Alas, this all may be destroyed just so 1% of our population can live like princes and kings!
