New biography outs Israeli producer Arnon Milchan as man who purchased components for Israel's nuclear arsenal

Ynet

Could one of Hollywood's greatest Israeli producers have been a Mossad agent? In a new biography called Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon Arnon Milchan," authors Meir Doron and Joseph Gelman claim that the producer took part in secret Mossad operations.

According to the book, Milchan supervised accounts and financed "the essential needs of Israel intelligence operations outside the country." Those "essential needs" include purchasing components for Israel's nuclear arsenal.

Gelman recalls a phone call with Milchan during which Gelman asked the producer: "Should I be worried?" The New York Times had written that Gelman told Melchan that there were fears that appearance-wise, people would think Melchan received major perks from Israel for his cooperation. Gelman claims that Melchan's response was: "I did it for my country, the money didn't go into my pockets".

Melchan, 66, is considered one of Hollywood's greatest producers. His cinematic productions include Israeli movie "Dizengoff 99", "Pretty Woman" and "The Devil's Advocate" and his fortune is worth an estimated $4 billion.

I think what some people don't want to admit is the fact the giant elephant you see here in the middle of the room is exactly what Michael Collins Piper exposes in his book 'Final Judgment'. If you trace the origins of this assisted foreign infiltration it goes directly back to the Kennedy assassination.

Suspicions N.Z. quake victim was Israeli spy: report

AFP
Wed Jul 20 2011

New Zealand: New Zealand intelligence services were investigating whether an Israeli victim of the Christchurch earthquake was a Mossad spy after five passports were found on his body, reports said Wednesday.

The Southland Times said the country's Security Intelligence Service (SIS) also suspected that Israeli rescuers who travelled to New Zealand to help emergency crews after the disaster attempted to hack into a police database.

The newspaper, part of the Fairfax media group, said Ofer Mizrahi, one of three Israelis who died in the February 22 earthquake that killed 181 people, was suspected of being a spy.

It said suspicions were aroused when five passports of different nationalities were found on the 23-year-old's body after he was crushed to death by a falling concrete pillar in the 6.3-magnitude quake.

The newspaper said the SIS also conducted an urgent audit of the police force's national computer system because of fears Israeli forensic specialists who were helping identify victims' bodies had hacked into the database.

"If it had been done, it would eventually have given the Israelis access to all our intelligence," it quoted an unnamed SIS officer as saying.

Prime Minister John Key, who is on a state visit to the United States, refused to discuss the allegations in detail but said the police database had not been compromised.
"I've had no advice or reason to believe that the police intelligence systems have been intercepted or there's been any untoward behaviour with regards to the police systems," he told reporters.

Asked if there was any evidence of Mossad operating in Christchurch at the time of the earthquake, he replied: "I'm not in a position to comment and I'm not going to because I don't believe it's in the national interest to do so."

Mossad's operations remain a sensitive issue in New Zealand after a 2004 incident in which suspected Israeli agents attempted to obtain a passport in the name of a New Zealander who suffered from cerebral palsy.

Two Israelis were jailed for six months over the incident and Wellington suspended diplomatic relations with Israel for more than a year.

Reports in New Zealand said the country's passports were attractive to Mossad for international travel because, unlike Israeli passports, they did not trigger in-depth background checks at border checkpoints.

A list of Milchan's producing credits can be seen here.

I note producer credits for great movies such as Terry Gilliam's Brazil and Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America.

In fact, Milchan appears on screen in Once Upon a Time in America as the chauffeur of the car in which Noodles rapes Deborah.

Milchan was also an executive producer of Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers and JFK.

More here:

Milchan was born in Rehovot, British Mandate of Palestine, to a father who owned a fertilizer company,[1] which Milchan turned into a successful chemical business.[citation needed] He also earned a degree from the London School of Economics. Milchan worked for years in Israeli intelligence (both for the LAKAM under spymaster Benjamain Blumberg and the Mossad under Rafi Eitan) as a weapons procurer, and for the procurement of sensitive technologies for Israel's nuclear program. He was heavily involved in business activities in pre-revolution Iran, and with the South African Government in the 1970's, both in weapons procurement and in efforts to influence international-media attitudes towards the Apartheid regime at the time, in partnership with South African Information Minister Eschel Rhoodie and Interior Minister Connie Mulder. Mr. Milchan was a primary financial facilitator of what became known as the great South African Information Scandal, or Muldergate.

In the 1980s, Milchan was involved in the Richard Kelly Smyth spy case involving the smuggling of Krytrons (nuclear triggers) to a company owned by Mr. Milchan in Israel. Smyth escaped to Malaga, Spain in 1985 to avoid trial in Los Angeles. He was arrested sixteen years later and extradited back to the United States in 2001. He was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison on a single count of smuggling.

Milchan then began investing in movies for various directors.[citation needed] Most notable among those directors was Martin Scorsese. Milchan started his own production company in 1991 called New Regency Productions. Through his company and other business ventures Milchan has attained a net worth estimated at about $3.6 billion and is listed in the middle of the Forbes 400 list of the richest men in the world. He owns an art collection worth over $600,000,000.

Arnon Milchan is listed as a producer by IMDB for many classics films such as Brazil (1985), Once Upon a Time in America (1984), Pretty Woman (1990), Under Siege (1992), Natural Born Killers (1994), Boys on the Side (1995), L.A. Confidential (1997), Unfaithful (2002), "Knight and Day" (2010), and many others.[2] He also appears as the chauffeur in Once Upon a Time in America. Arnon Milchan eveloved into one of the most prolific independent producers in Hollywood history.

Milchan is also noted for being a strong supporter of Israel.[citation needed] He is a personal friend of Shimon Peres and underwrites the Israeli Network which transmits Israeli television programming to the United States and Canada via cable and satellite TV.[citation needed]

Mossad or IRA, where are these producers today? Why can't Tony Summers, David Talbot, Jeff Morley, Bill Turner, Dick Russell or James Douglas get their books made into documentary or feature films?

Piper does what the Mafia did it guys do, and that's only present the evidence that supports their wrong theories of what happened. The truth encompasses all the information that's known, and not just part of it.

I remain agnostic, though quite curious, about the question. I keep seeing inferences, suggestions, allegations, and more. I keep seeing names of the "mafia" (whatever nationality or ethnicity they may be). [Even the word is a kind of disinformation.] I am quite able at this time to see this entire enchilada as just another stripe of massive pre-thought-out mis/disinformation, part of the game.

Even I am a suspect in the assassination and cover-up until I have been ruled out definitively and substantively.

But I think the answer is found on a different plane (dimension, or even facet) of deep politics than the one most people are used to thinking on. That's not a reference of anything Jungian, cosmic, occult, ethereal, or having to do with quantum physics.

Perhaps the Drago-Evica model of sponsors, facilitators and mechanics needs some sharpening at the point.

"Sponsors. No sub-divisions. Those with the ultimate authority and resources to give the order, expect it to be carried out, and support the operation through multiple layers of buffers"

Mossad or IRA, where are these producers today? Why can't Tony Summers, David Talbot, Jeff Morley, Bill Turner, Dick Russell or James Douglas get their books made into documentary or feature films?

The quick answer is because Hollywood is controlled by the powers that benefited from Kennedy's killing. Specifically the Mockingbird-type self-regulated censorship that serves the powers that be. If it threatens "national security" it's out.

Piper does what the Mafia did it guys do, and that's only present the evidence that supports their wrong theories of what happened. The truth encompasses all the information that's known, and not just part of it.

I'm not sure Piper is entirely "wrong". He is taking serious risk with his suggestion that Ben Gurion ordered Kennedy's assassination after failing to reach a favorable outcome in his attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. Even if this is true, the way America works is internal security would never allow an external power to order the death of a US president -unless- there was already a more than ongoing movement within those internal power structures to do that anyway.

I take these answers as a reinforcement of Piper because anyone who has read his book, as I have, would see he details enough critical information to overcome any accusations of being "wrong". Even if his theory that Ben Gurion ordered it is totally false, the book is still extremely valuable in its exposing of an Israeli underground directly connected to the assassination conspirators. However politically unpopular I believe Piper exposed some very real underground connections that were not spoken of by other researchers for whatever reason. So whether Piper inserts an unreal context to this network or not, he still exposes some very valuable players and their influence on the conspirators. In my mind Piper succeeds in showing that these players were so deeply networked into the conspiracy that it would be impossible for them to have no influence. Since Israel was a deeply-connected military industrial complex 'cause', and embodied some of the most active and popular freedom fronts of the era, it is well within CIA's profile to use Israel's needs as an excuse and justification. It is CIA's modus operandi to divide and conquer in order to exploit and manipulate political differences to its own advantage. As Piper shows in his book, the facts are all out there and lay in perfect conformity to this pattern. In my mind, the best example of the truly "unspeakable" is that which is so unspeakable that it isn't even spoken...

Piper's references are dense, and, frankly, he is their best defender. I sent him an e-mail asking him to come in and defend his thesis. I got no reply. He can only blame himself if he refuses to defend it.

Arnon Milchan as facilitator for JFK the film, the catalyst for The JFK Records Act, arguably a greater attack on the root than all the government Aunt Polly's Fence committees.

In my early examination of the five volumes of Douglas Horne's Inside the ARRB I note Custer's Last X-Ray:


Douglas Horne, Inside the Assassinations Record Review Board, Volume II, Chapter Five: The Autopsy X-Rays, pages 530-2:


Custer Examines the X-Rays of the Body


The noteworthy highlights of Custer's review of the x-rays of the body was Jeremy's attempt to see whether Custer could identify metal fragments near any of the cervical vertebrae, which Custer had mentioned earlier in the deposition.


Jeremy showed Custer x-ray no. 9, a view of the chest prior to removal of the lungs, and the exchange went as follows:


Gunn: Previously, you referred to there being metal fragments in the cervical area. Are you able to identify any metal fragments in this x-ray?


Custer: Not in this film.


Gunn: Does this film include a view or an exposure that would have included such metal fragments?


Custer: No sir.


Gunn: Where would the metal fragments be located?


Custer: Further up in there. This region.


Gunn: Can youand you're pointing to?


Custer: Up into the, I'd say, C3/C4 region.


Jeremy asked Custer to review x-rays no. 8 and 10, of the right shoulder and chest, and left shoulder and chest, respectivelyboth are images following the removal of the heart and lungs. Custer could not identify metal fragments in either x-ray.


Later, Jeremy asked Custer the following questions:


Gunn: Now, you had raised, previously in the deposition. . .the possibility of some metal fragments in the C3/C4 range.


Custer: I noticed I didn't see that.


Gunn: You didn't see any x-rays that would be inthat would include the C3/C4 area?


Custer: No sir.


Gunn: Are you certain that you took x-rays that included theincluded C3 and C4?


Custer: Yes, sir. Absolutely.


Gunn: How many x-rays did you take that would have included that?


Custer: Just one. And that was all that was necessary, because it showedright there.


Gunn: And what, as best you recall, did it show?


Custer: A fragmentation of a shell in and around that circular exitthat area. Let me rephrase that. I don't want to say "exit," because I don't know whether it was exit or entrance. But all I can say, there was bullet fragmentations [sic] around that areathat opening.


Gunn: Around C3/C4?


Custer: Right.


Gunn" And do you recall how many fragments there were?


Custer: Not really. There was enough. It was very prevalent.


Gunn: Did anyone make any observations about metal fragments in the C3/C4 area?


Custer: I did. And I was told to mind my own business. That's where I was shut down again.


Gunn: You have, during the course of this deposition, identified three x-rays that you are quite certain that you took, but don't appear in this collection. Are there any others that you can identify as not being included?


Custer: That's the only three that come to my mind right now; the two tangential views, and the A-P cervical spine.


Gunn: Okay.


Custer: Can I add something to that?


Gunn: Sure.


Custer: In my own opinion, I do believe, basically, the reason why they are not here is because they showed massive amounts of bullet fragments.

I had a discussion almost ten years ago regarding Shaul Eisenberg, Beijing and Marc Rich with Barry Chamish with a glance to Denise's father of the name Eisenberg. Something about Chins in a Shanghai phone book.

Is this internet infatuation with Arnon Milchan a Jooz-Killed-JFK thing.

As in Sirhan-Killed-RFK--the kind of deflection practiced by E. Howard Hunt in re LBJ-Killed-JFK.

There's a separate discussion which could be had, more accurately does Israel have a right to nuclear arms? Iran? India? Pakistan? U.S.?

A Mossad which both killed JFK and brought on the JFK Act is one more schizophrenic than our own lobotomites at Langley.

Well, he is entirely wrong for blaming people like he does, linking people to the assassination rather than following the evidence to where it leads, he does it backwards, and like those who do the same thing with the Mafia, they are all wrong.

I too have read Piper's books and talked with him on the phone about it and hung out with his American Free Press pals at the Italian/Tai joint on Capitol Hill in DC, and while I like talking with them, they wear blinders, just like our new friend Mr. Phelps, and apparently everyone who reads and believes Piper's book on the assassination.

"... Even though the authors claim to have written an unofficial biography, Milchan agreed to meet with them, answer their questions and correct their mistakes. One of the major sources for the book was Israeli President Shimon Peres, a close friend of Milchan.

"I am the one who recruited him," Peres is quoted as saying.

This occurred in the 1960′s, when Peres was Deputy Minister of Defense. The relationship continued in the 1970′s, when Peres became Minister of Defense. He recruited Milchan as an agent for Lakam, an acronym for Science Liaison Bureau.' Lakam is the name of a secret unit in the defense ministry that was tasked with purchasing equipment, namely technological parts and materials for Israel's alleged nuclear program.

Since its founding in the mid-1950′s, the agency was headed by Benjamin Blumberg. Blumberg was fired in 1978 by Defense Minister Ezer Weizman following the Likud's party rise to power. Weizman claimed that Lakam was involved in illegal money transfers to different bodies, including the Labor Party.

Blumberg was Milchan's friend, and used him (as well as other Israeli businessmen) to set up straw companies around the world, and to open secret bank accounts for financing the nuclear plant in Dimona and other Israeli security industries.

The basis for Milchan's secret actions was the family firm Milchan Brothers, which represented foreign chemical companies in Israel since before independence.

Lakam was in effect an intelligence unit dealing with technological and scientific espionage, and served as a kind of "theft contractor" for the Israeli security industry. Besides using businessmen, Lakam also appointed scientific attaches in Israeli embassies around the world. After he was fired, Blumberg was replaced by Rafi Eytan, who continued to use his services.

For years, Milchan operated in secret, yet in the mid-1980′s U.S. customs uncovered an attempt to smuggle "switches" equipment that can be used both for medical purposes and for nuclear weapons manufacture by the California-based Milco company, owned by Milchan. The company's CEO, Richard Kelly Smyth, was arrested and released on bail. He fled the country soon after.

Smyth was declared a fugitive, and according to some reports found refuge in Israel. In 2001 he was captured in Spain and was brought back to the U.S., where he stood trial and was incarcerated. The FBI began an investigation into Milchan's affairs, yet he has never been charged.

According to the book, right after the "switches" fiasco Milchan called his friend Peres, then prime minister, and asked for his help in dealing with the Ronald Reagan administration. Milchan is quoted in the book as saying he never received money for his services, and that everything he did was for the state of Israel."
