18781942 Moses "Moe" Louis Annenberg
No fortune
in America was built on a sturdier foundation of coöperation with
organized crime than that of Moses
"Moe" Louis Annenberg.
A newspaper circulation man and
gambler, Moe Annenberg rose
from poverty in the slums
of South Side Chicago to
accumulate the largest estimated individual income of any person in the nation
at the time.
"Buy this
yellow rag or else!"
Considered a "circulation genius" by William
Randolph Hearst, Moe started out in the circulation department of the Chicago Tribune.
1904 to 1906 Moe serves as circulation manager
for new Hearst publications the American and the Examiner.
Moe succeeds during the early Chicago newspaper circulation wars,
selling newspapers with an army of sluggers, overturning the competition
delivery trucks, burning their papers and roughing up newspaper vendors.
Moe's "genius" is muscle - roster of sluggers included Frank McErlane.
Chicago journalist George Murray described the Annenberg-McErlane
relationship:
"McErlane went on to become the most vicious killer of
his time.
Moe Annenberg, the father of the ambassador to the Court of
St. James."
Under Hearst, Annenberg was the highest paid circulation
man in the nation.
Hearst
so valued him that he tolerated Moe's myriad private business dealings.
More than Hearst himself,
Annenberg realized the money to be made in the racing information field, both
legally and illegally.
ManyJews who consider themselves blocked from
respectable professions use crime as a means to "make good"
economically.
Few of these men are religiously observant.
1922 Moe buys the Daily Racing Form.
The roots
of Jewish gangsterism lies in the ethnic neighborhoods of the Lower East Side;
Brownsville, Brooklyn; Maxwell Street in Chicago; and Boyle Heights in Los
Angeles.
The market for vice flourishes during Prohibition.
Jews, along with others, exploit the artificial market created by the
legal bans on alcohol, gambling, paid sex and narcotics.
1926 Moe's various private businesses become so big he leaves
Hearst.
In a few years Moe
took over the New York Morning Telegraph, Radio Guide, Screen
Guide and, most important, formed the Nation-Wide News Service in
association with the East Coast's biggest gambler, Frank Erickson, a close
associate of Lucky
Luciano, Meyer
Lansky and Frank Costello.
1929 Al Capone
brings Annenberg into the underworld's famous Atlantic City Conference, the
gathering at which the groundwork was laid for a
national crime
syndicate that would become international.
Capone and Annenberg
iron out the details of a syndicated racing wire in discussions on the
boardwalk.
Nation-Wide brings in a flood of money.
The
service receives its information from telegraph and telephone wires hooked into
29 race tracks and from those tracks into 223 cities in 30 states, where
thousands of poolrooms and bookie joints operated in violation of local laws.
Annenberg becomes the fifth largest customer of American Telephone
and Telegraph, making transmissions only slightly behind RCA and the three press
associations.
With Annenberg's coöperation that
Meyer Lansky sews up for
himself his preeminent gambling position in Miami and Florida's lush East
Coast.
1930s Annenberg
takes over the century-old Philadelphia Inquirer and through it becomes
a power in Republican Party - a "respectable" citizen.
New York State
Judge Nathan Perlman personally contracts Meyer Lansky to disrupt Bund
rallies.
Meyer Lansky breakes up a Brown Shirt rally in the Yorkville
section of Manhattan:
"The stage was decorated with a swastika and a
picture of Hitler. The speakers started ranting. There were only fifteen of us,
the Nazis panicked and ran out. We chased them and beat them up. We wanted to
show them that Jews would not always sit back and accept insults."
In
Minneapolis, William Dudley Pelley organized a Silver Shirt Legion.
Minneapolis gambling czar David Berman confronted Pelley's Silver
Shirts on behalf of the Minneapolis Jewish community.
Berman and his
associates burst in the rally at the Elks' Lodge and started cracking
heads.
Berman took the microphone and announced:
"This is a
warning. Anybody who says anything against Jews gets the same treatment. Only
next time it will be worse."
After Berman broke up two more rallies,
there were no more public Silver Shirt meetings in Minneapolis.
1939 Moe and his only son, Walter,
are indicted for income tax evasion.
For the year 1932 the government found Annenberg owed $313,000 and paid
only a paltry $308.
For 1936 alone Annenberg owed an estimated
$1,692,000 and paid $470,000, still not the epitome of civic-mindedness.
All told, along with interest and penalties, Moe's unpaid taxes came to
$9.5 million.
Annenberg claimed that, because much of his activities
came during a period of national Democratic dominance, his legal troubles were
politically inspired.
More accurate was the evaluation of the New York
Times, reporting that the money gush became so large "it apparently did
not seem worth while to give the government its share."
Walter pleaded
not guilty and finally Moe, in what some observers to the conversation regarded
as the epitome of paternal devotion, declared: "It's the best gamble. I'll take
the rap."
Moe was in his 60s and his lawyers advised that a guilty plea
by him could well lead to the dropping of charges against his son.
The gamble paid off.
Moe got a three-year prison term and the government got $9.5
million.
1945 Jewish gangsters help establish
Israel.
Reuven Dafne, a Haganah emissary, seeking funds and guns to
help liberate Palestine
from British rule went to Bugsy Siegel.
"You mean to tell me Jews are
fighting?" Siegel asked. "You mean fighting as in killing?"
After Dafne
answered in the affirmative Siegel replied, "I'm with you."
For weeks,
Dafne received suitcases filled with $5 and $10 bills -- $50,000 in all -- from
Siegel. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
