Phoenix Journal 208 - Four Winds 10

In spite of all the alleged efforts put into the production of the Eizenstat report, somehow the undersecretary
managed to overlook the overriding fact that the great bulk of Jewish funds deposited in Swiss banks prior
to 1945 had been sent by the Swiss to the United States for safekeeping, just after the outbreak of WWII
in Europe. There are many documents in the U.S. archives that also prove beyond a doubt that in 1941,
the U.S. government, acting on specific orders of President Franklin Roosevelt, froze these identified
Jewish assets, which amounted to more than $250 million, and of which the United States reluctantly
returned only $500,000 after the end of the war.
A logical person might well wonder how the Swiss can return assets which were not looted by the Germans
or themselves, but by FDR, fighter for freedom and beau ideal of the ultra-left in the United States
and the Soviet Union.

WHO KNEW WHAT, WHEN?
The bosses of the American mainstream media are fully aware of this wholesale theft because the documents
covering it are readily available in U.S. archives and have been repeatedly consulted over the past
several years by members of the same media that is now screeching for the evil Swiss to please send
billions in gold to Bronfman’s private club. As usual, the media enjoys hoisting its flabby bulk up onto a
creaking hobby-horse called “Moral Issues” and chanting whatever message their publishers and ideological
friends hand to them.
Though the facts at issue might be at direct variance to the moralistic squealings now seen in print and
watched on television, the U.S. media cares not one whit. At one time, the American press—and later
television—were the only means by which the public were informed about the world and national affairs.
The media could be easily controlled and directed by the governmental bureaucracy and their supporters
and the only messages that the public received were such views as were acceptable to those who directed
the messages. With the fortunate advent of an alternative media, this monopoly of news has begun to
atrophy but members of the mainstream media are so arrogant and so ignorant of reality that they go on
their way lecturing their readers and viewers as if they were actually believed and respected.
They pontificate at every opportunity on their favorite foods, media and sports heroes and their owner’s
political views. Possessed of a purulent itch to be noticed and a misguided sense of self-importance, these
intellectually empty drums have made a good deal of unwelcome noise in decades past. Their self-esteem
blinds them to the fact that their noise and arrogance is now generally ignored and their advice rejected.
In this case, the shrill, ideological and arrogant mouthing have had a decidedly negative impact on those
very persons upon whom the moral avatars of U.S. political—and economic—life desire to control, the
