Pollard

Quite by accident, in April 1984, Pollard reported to the Israelis that he had discovered a pattern of illegal arm shipments smuggled through Greece. Acting on Pollard's tip, the Israelis passed word to the Greek government which staged a raid in May 1984, seizing an entire freighter full of arms. A minor incident, which Pollard forgot about, but which is the crux of the campaign to shut him up for life. Pollard had not stopped a PLO shipment out of Greece, he had blown the whistle on Vice President George Bush's first attempt to trade arms for hostages. The May 1984 Greek shipment had been arranged, at Bush's request, by a Syrian contract agent working for the White House. The secret agent behind the White House's 1984 shipments was Monzer Al-Kassar, a well-known Syrian fixer and middle-man. Monzer is identified in North's recently declassified diaries as " M-the mediator " for the release of hostages in Iran. North's Swiss bank records also confirm that the White House paid Monzer millions of dollars to purchase arms for the Contras. There is no doubt about his identity. Unfortunately, North never did a background check before putting Monzer on the White House payroll. North did not discover, until too late, that the CIA, DEA, and INTERPOL, have all red-flagged Monzer as an international terrorist and drug dealer. One Congressional report describes Monzer's Syrian syndicate as responsible for 20% of the heroin reaching the United States. Reader's Digest even ran an article describing Monzer's criminal connections. North's incompetence had created the threat of a major political scandal. When the Pollard case erupted in 1985, the White House was frantic to find out how much the Israelis had learned about Monzer's 1984 arms deals. North noted in his diary that the Israelis had "positively ID'd" several of the 1984 shipments. Luckily for North, neither Pollard nor the Mossad had suspected that Monzer was working for the White House. This left the way open to hide North's embarrassing Syrian connection, by shifting the blame for future arms deals to the unwitting Israelis.To this day, Congress still believes that Israelis initiated the arms to Iran shipments in 1985. The evidence is indisputable that Bush's first shipments through the Syrians began in 1984, more than a year before the Israelis were dragged in as scapegoats. Pollard's " routine " data on 1984 Greek shipping patterns could have exposed the fraudulent chronology given to Congress during the Iran-Contra Hearings.

The Artzi group of Kibbuts

In 1984 were 28 kibbutses (united in the Artzi group) searching for alternative financing , passing by this way the conservative israeli banks and they came out with the dutch fund Phoenix. The kibbutses had to deposit 24 million guilders to take over Phoenix in 1984. Officially this wasn't allowed because an israeli law prohibited israelies to have a larger share then 5% in a foreign stockexchange fund. So every one of the 28 kibbutses took its own share in Phoenix and this way they fooled this law. Also it wasn't allowed to get such an amount of money out of Israel but that was also done. After this they laundered their funds into foreign bankaccounts so they didn't have money anymore to pay the banks who gave the loans. This way the Israeli shareholders got their private fund abroad and the banks could kiss their money goodbye. This way were several israeli banks were swindled for tens of millions of dollars and they also broke the israeli laws this way. Shortly after phoenix was bought it stood for nearly 230 million guilders red with banks and deliverers. But the fund had also 200 million guilders loaned out to the Arzti group. In the bookingyear 1984 1985 there was a profit mae of nearly 9 million guilders. In Israel are between the 200 and 300 kibbutses who have togather a debt of nearly 8,2 bilion guilders to the banks, their debts are now brought back too 3,2 billion guilders about which is still negotiated. In those beginningyears was also Michael Wyler a while director of Phoenix (one of the 3 brothers Wyler who are the owners of the famous Rotterdam based tradinghouse Granaria. Justice in Tel Aviv aimed its wrath mainly at Micha Rinat (former director of Artzi and from Phoenix) and his legal advisor Carmit doron. Phoenix was in the end closed by The Administration of the Kibbutzim Agreement (the organisation who had to sanitate the debt of the kibbutses). The kibbutses paid to the dutch fund via israeli bankaccounts and in 1993 the administration of the Kibbutzim Agreement confiscated the bankaccounts and Phoenix was with that dry from income and went down within a few months. Henk keilman was from 1990 till 1994 director and spokesman for Phoenix.
