JEWISH INFLUENCE IN POPULAR CULTURE (PT. 1)
JR: “Israel gave the CIA a copy of your father’s famous speech denouncing
Stalin, delivered behind closed doors at the 20th Party Congress
in 1956. How did the [Israeli] Mossad get a hold of it?”
Sergei K. : “The daughter of a Polish party leader had a Jewish boyfriend,
and that boy worked for the Mossad. The boyfriend found a copy
of the speech on the Polish leader’s desk and ‘borrowed’ it for a while.”
[JERUSALEM REPORT, 9-13-99]
One such sayan, New York-based Jewish American Howard Schack, even
wrote a book about his adventures as a volunteer for Mossad, entitled A Spy in
Canaan. My Secret Life as a Jewish-American Businessman Spying for Israel in
Arab Lands. “What did I,” he wondered one day, “
“a middle-aged Jewish-American businessman, have to offer [Israel]?
The next day as I sat at my desk in my construction company I realized
that before me lay something that might prove useful to Israel. Heaped
on my desk were plans and specifications for an offshore naval expansion
program in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf that had been put out for
bids by Saudi Arabia. These plans had come to me quite routinely. My
firm had exactly the experience needed to carry out portions of the
project. Reviewing the plans, I wondered if the government of Israel was
aware of them … I had dealings with foreign governments that took me
all over the globe, bringing me in contact with hundreds of executives
who did business worldwide, especially in the Middle East.” [SCHACK,
H. 1993, p. 7]
Schack – member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Shriners and Kiwanis
clubs, and other community organizations [SCHACK, H., 1993, p. 17] – contacted
the Israeli consulate in Washington DC, offering his espionage services
for Israel. “I conduct business in the Middle East,” he explained to a consular
official, “I have access to projects such as public buildings and massive capital
development projects from Kuwait to Libya. My credentials permit me to work
intimately with Western firms that have construction contracts in those countries.”
[SCHACK, H., 1993, p. 8] Schack was soon assigned to a Mossad “handler”
and was even provided a spy camera.
From the very formation of the modern state of Israel, American Jewish
sayanim have aided the Jewish state at high administrative levels. A good example
was a Jewish American ‘mole’ in the United States veteran’s bureaucracy.
Thousands of American Jews served in the Israeli military during the founding
of the Israeli state in 1947-48, despite a United States State Department decree
noting that those who enter foreign armies “cease to be entitled recognition as
[U.S.] citizens during the period of such service,” and that they would lose their
American passports. [GREEN, p. 52] Nonetheless, in 1948 a Unites States Security
Group of Army Intelligence report noted that
“There presently exists among [branches of Israel’s armed forces] a
plan to recruit former [U.S., almost all Jewish] army officers … It was
reported that someone in the Pentagon who had access to [classified]
officers’ AGO (Adjutant General’s Office) files and who is making avail-
