When Victims Rule (pdf)

JEWISH INFLUENCE IN THE MASS MEDIA (PT. 3)
“based [on the child’s] demeanor and her responses to my questions,
and my conversations with the caseworker in Connecticut, and my experiences
from interviewing hundreds of children who have been
abused, I concluded that abuse did occur and that there was a prima facie
cause to commence family-court proceedings against Woody Allen.
Then the barriers came down. There came a litany of reasons why we
should not go forward. My superior said that Woody Allen is ‘an influential
person,’ she talked about his films, and his ‘position.’ As more evidence
came through interviews, I insisted that the case should have
been filed. Managers at the Child Welfare Agency responded that ‘pressure
[to drop the case] is coming all the way from the mayor’s office
[Jewish mayor: Ed Koch].” [FARROW, p. 311]
The case was dropped. A child custody trial featured Allen represented by
six different law firms. [FARROW, p. 316] Later, the Connecticut state attorney,
Frank Maco, announced that “probable cause” for Allen’s arrest existed, but
that by then Farrow had decided a public trial would be extremely detrimental
to the abused child. [FARROW, p. 329]
In 1997 Peter Watson’s sensational expose of the systemic corruption within
the Sotheby art auction house (headed by Jewish real estate mogul Alfred Taubman)
“sparked scandalous headlines on both sides of the Atlantic when it was released
in Britain.” [NY POST, 2-2-98] “Now that [the book] has finally arrived [in
America],” noted the New York Post, “the press doesn’t seem to be showing much
interest. So far, only the weekly New York Observer has reviewed it – and even that
is going Sotheby’s way.” [NY POST, 2-2-98] The American publisher of the book,
Random House (owned by Jewish mogul Si Newhouse) backed its publication
up three times and revised part of the European version. The Post suggested that
“Sotheby is getting kid glove treatment thanks to Alfred Taubman getting a favor
from Random House owner Si Newhouse – an avid collector known to spend
millions at auctions.” [NEW YORK POST, 2-2-98, p. 12]
In 1999, independent journalist and art critic Hector Feliciano found himself
facing a $1.8 million lawsuit at the hands of the (Jewish) Wildenstein family
(Daniel, Alec, and Guy). Feliciano had dared to write about the family’s
clandestine art dealings with the Nazis during Hitler’s looting of Jewish-owned
art treasures. “They’re suing me,” said Feliciano, “so that other journalists will
think twice about writing about them.” [GOLDBERG, J. J., 6-18-99, p. 14]
Dissident (“self-hating”) Jews too are not immune from enforced censorship
about public criticism of their community. British reporters Christopher
Reed and Eleanor Mills note a well known case in Hollywood:
“An example of Tinseltown shyness about criticism of Jews is Budd
Schulberg’s book What Makes Sammy Run? Now 82, he wrote the classic
about a ruthlessly ambitious Hollywood type called Sammy Glick, in
1941. Five attempts to film it have failed. After reading the book, MGM
studio chief Louis Mayer said Schulberg should be deported. It was
pointed out that the author was not only born in America, he was the
son of the head of Paramount.” [He was also Jewish] [REED, p. 2]
