  • Dope, Inc. Versus the White House: the Max Fisher Scandal
    Click here for Full Issue of EIR Volume 8, Number 47, December 8, 1981 �TIillSpecialReport , D,ope, Inc. versus the White House: the Max Fisher scandal by David Goldman, Economics Editor President Reagan's Oct. 29 victory over opposition to the sale of advanced radar aircraft to Saudi Arabia concluded one of the most extraordinary episodes in American politiCal history, in which a fairly routine action on behalf of an essential American ally and trading partner nearly foundered upon opposition in the American Congress. As the following materials document, United Brands' Max Fisher, ex-Purple Gang hood and associate of bootleggers and button men, was the center around which the opposition revolved. Recently under attack in the Israeli press for withholding funds raised by American Jewish charities from their destination in Israel, Fisher has been one of the most powerful, and most controversial, figures in the American Zionist movement. As EIR reported last week, the pressure on President Reagan has by no means let up following the AWACS vote. Max Fisher, the chairman of the Republican Party's Jewish Advisory Committee, met with Vice-President George Bush, and then on Nov. 19, the President met with 33 top financial contributors tCi his campaign who were reportedly seeking "reassurances" that Reagan would not pursue a comprehensive Middle East peace along the lines prescribed by Saudi Crown Prince Fahd, which proposes that Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization recognize each other's right to exist. These meetings were preparatory to a heavy deployment to the United States in late November by members of the Menachem Begin government of Israel, including Defense Minister Ariel Sharon and, in a last-minute addition, Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

  • The Op-Ed the New York Times Will Not Publish
    12.12.2017 The Op-Ed The New York Times Will Not Publish After a peaceful, snowy Shabbat, I opened my iPhone to catch up on the news as presented by The New York Times. I read two op-eds, the first by Max Fisher entitled “The Jerusalem Issue Explained,” and the second by David Halbfinger entitled “Daily Life in Jerusalem? Difficult and Intense for Arab and Jew.” One cannot read those op-eds without concluding that they represent fictional accounts intended to create a narrative which is critical of President Trump and United States policy to the extent it tilts ever so slightly in favor of the democracy Israel. Max Fisher may be the most culpable of all in falsely claiming that Jerusalem has been officially disputed since at least 1948, but before then the U.N. had declared it a Special International Zone. The remarkably disingenuous piece claims that in 1948, Israel seized the western half of the City and, in 1967, the eastern half. Fisher does not relate that the San Remo resolution of 1920, the Feisal-Weitzman Treaty of 1919, the Anglo-American Treaty of 1924, among others, designated the area that is now Israel, including Jerusalem, Judea/Samaria and present-day Jordan as its sacred trust for close Jewish settlement and reconstituting the Jewish homeland. It has been both history and reality that Jerusalem has been Jewish for well over 3,300 years, and only was not so during periods of genocide and persecution against the Jewish people. In 1948, Israel did not “seize” the western half but rather the Jewish majority in the Old City, the “eastern” half, were driven out by Jordanian troops equipped by their British allies and agents.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1965 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1965 Principal File was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office. It is divided into two subseries-a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of seventeen boxes of documents arranged under such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, articles, memoranda, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has thirty-seven boxes, is arranged alphabetically by name of the individuals or organizations corresponding with Eisenhower or his staff. The bulk of this subseries is correspondence, but there are also printed materials, speeches, articles, statements, memoranda, reports, transcripts, and lists. A substantial portion of the correspondence in this series deals with fairly routine and repetitive matters. In January 1965 Eisenhower attended Winston Churchill’s funeral in London and delivered a tribute to the former prime minister. There are hundreds of letters referring to this event and praising Eisenhower for his moving tribute. There are a large number of autograph requests in this series, and many of these were turned down because of the burden they placed on Eisenhower and his small staff. Invitations to speak at or visit countless events, meetings, or groups, letters and notes regarding gifts of flowers, fruit, etc., and get-well cards and letters in late 1965 are all part of this series. There are numerous letters to and from members of the West Point Class of 1915 regarding a reunion and a photo of the class.
