SPOTLIGHT ON CONGRESS WITH
MICHAEL COLLINS PIPER
Two of the
huge names bankrolling Eric Cantor. |
Big
Money from Donors
Puts Cantor In Hip Pocket
of Powerful Interests
By Michael Collins
Piper
 |
. Rep.
Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is one of the very few members
of Congress who has some of the richest and most
powerful people in the world bankrolling his political
endeavors. That — along with Cantor’s
peculiar fund-raising prowess — is another
reason why many now perceive the soon-to-be House
Republican majority leader as the real “big
man” in the House GOP caucus, eclipsing
even Speaker-to-be John Boehner.
 Wags
say that Cantor will be “the Cantor of the
House” —which is a play on Cantor’s
Jewish family name. A “cantor” is
the individual in a synagogue who leads the chants
and prayers along with the rabbi — a major
religious role.
So
the fact that billionaires in the global financial
plutocracy — all intimately tied to the
London-based Rothschild family — are underwriting
Cantor’s career is a point that cannot be
taken lightly. Here’s the exclusive story
from AMERICAN FREE
PRESS.
The
up-and-coming young congressman — a deeply
religious Orthodox Jew devoted to the Talmud,
the controversial rabbinic teachings foundational
to the Jewish faith — is unique among House
members: While most members rely on campaign contributions
mainly from their own congressional districts,
Cantor has an unusually expansive array of contributions
pouring in from across the country.
One
of Cantor’s federal election filings, recorded
at campaignmoney.com, shows he received 146 contributions
from New York donors. Contrast that to only 36
donations from New York that went to Cantor’s
ostensible senior partner in the Republican takeover
of the House, Boehner, who has been a top-ranking
GOP congressional figure for more than a few years.
Yet, even Boehner cannot rival Cantor in the number
of out-of- state cash contributions.
A
brief sampling of Cantor’s contributors
from New York State alone demonstrate the real
clout — and the big names — who are
bankrolling him:
•
Kenneth Bialkin, a mob legal mouthpiece, former
national chairman of the Anti-Defamation League
of B’nai B’rith, former chairman of
the Conference of Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations, and now chairman of the
America-Israel Friendship League, is a Council
on Foreign Relations (CFR) member. The CFR is
the New York-based offshoot of the London-based
Royal Institute for International Affairs, the
Rothschild empire’s foreign policy arm;
•
Gary Cohn, president and chief operating officer
of Goldman Sachs, the infamous Wall Street investment
bank whose financial schemes are well known to
many Americans who’ve seen their pensions
plundered;
•
Steven Drucker of Charmer Sunbelt, a massive liquor
conglomerate that has grabbed control of various
facets of the U.S. spirits industry;
•
Lewis M. Eisenberg who, as a former Goldman Sachs
partner, is perhaps best known for serving as
chairman from 1995 to the pivotal year of 2001
of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
— at which time the authority turned World
Trade Center (WTC) ownership over to international
wheeler-dealer, Larry Silverstein, who had the
WTC twin towers well insured and suspiciously
made billions from the 9-11 attacks.
•
Henry Kravis, a member of the CFR and Bilderberg
group who was one of the famous “junk bond
kings” of the 1980s through his Kohlberg-Kravis-Roberts
partnership;
•
Ronald Perelman, billionaire head of the Revlon
cosmetics empire. He also heads a far-reaching
network of radio and television stations. At one
point he was said to have been the richest man
in America;
•
James Tisch, another CFR member and a scion of
the billionaire Tisch family who bought control
of CBS in the 1980s. These are just a few of the
powerful New Yorkers who’ve been channeling
funds to Cantor’s political enterprises.
Three of Cantor’s other notable national
contributors are:
•
Jeffrey Epstein of California, chief financial
officer and executive vice president of the Oracle
Corporation, the fiefdom of Larry Ellison, who
rose to fame in the 1970s working on a database
for the CIA (named “Oracle”).After
9-11, Ellison offered to donate software to the
U.S. government to help set up a national identification
database, from which national ID cards for American
citizens would be issued;
•
Neil Livingstone of Washington, D.C., a shadowy
figure from the world of intelligence known for
close ties to Israel’s Mossad;
•
Sheldon Adelson of Las Vegas, who, in many respects,
is the modern-day incarnation of the late Meyer
Lansky, longtime chief of the Jewish crime syndicate
which cemented its influence with the rise of
legalized gambling in Vegas.

Cantor Meets With Israeli,
Pledges Alliance Against Obama
It
is no wonder, considering his heavy financial support
from billionaire patrons of Israel, that — on
the weekend of Nov. 6 — when Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu came to New York City, Rep. Eric
Cantor met with the Israeli chief for more than an
hour, at which time he pledged that the Republican
Party would stand firmly with Israel against President
Obama — who is perceived in Israel as being
hostile to Israel’s concerns.
On
Nov. 11, the mainstream Politico magazine
reported that “Israeli sources characterized
a one-on-one meeting between an Israeli prime minister
and a lone American lawmaker as unusual, if not unheard
of.” Politico also noted that Ron Kampeas,
a veteran observer of U.S.-Israel relations, described
Cantor’s pledge to Israel as “an eyebrow
raiser.”
Politico
noted that Kampeas wrote, on the blog of the Jewish
Telegraph Agency:
I
can’t remember an opposition leader telling
a foreign leader, in a personal meeting, that he
would side, as a policy, with that leader against
the president. Certainly, in statements on one specific
issue or another . . . lawmakers have taken the
sides of other nations. But to have a face-to-face
and say, in general, we will take your side against
the White House — that sounds to me extraordinary.
Even
the website of the independent Washington Monthly
featured a commentary by Steve Benen, reflecting on
Cantor’s antics:
This
week, Eric Cantor met privately with a foreign head
of state to promise to undermine the foreign policy
of the United States. Remember when American officials
were supposed to think foreign policy issues stopped
at [the] water’s edge?
This
is a legitimate scandal worthy of far more attention.
. . . I fully expect members of Congress from both
parties to demand accountability of the White House.
People
can and should speak out when they disagree with
the administration’s approach to Israel, Iran,
Russia or any other country.
But
Cantor’s move is something altogether different.
Just a few years after he suggested it was literally
criminal for an American official to talk to a foreign
leader and work against the sitting president. Now,
Cantor has done just that.
Where’s
the outrage?
