Samsung leukemia deaths - In 2016 Samsung issued an apology to the families of those who dies of leukemia from working at their semi conductor factories, paying out an $11M compensation, with each family getting around around $100k.

Podesta Emails - Pizzagate sparked in 2016 when Wikileaks published over 20,000 emails from the inbox of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman during her presidential run. It's important to note here that while the interpretations of the coded language within the emails is unsubstantiated, the Podesta emails were reviewed and confirmed to be authentic by multiple US intelligence agencies, including the CIA, FBI, and the NSA, which is the National Security Agency. One of the first emails that really caught people's attention was sent by Susan Sandler, a philanthropist and political donor who did donate to Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign run to John Podesta. The email reads: "Hi, John. The realer found a handkerchief. I think it has a map that seems pizza related. Is it yourus? They can send it if you want. I know you're busy, so feel free not to respond if it's not yours or you don't want it. 

I just came from checking the fieldhouse and I have a square cloth handkerchief, white with black, that was left on the kitchen island. Happy to send it via mail if you let me know where I should send it.'' 

The handkerchief code is a color-coded system that people use to communicate their interests and pleasures non-verbbally. Different colors relate to different acts or things that people are into. 

Another email that caught people's attention was sent to John Podesta by Herbert Sandler, who was at the time a co-CEO of Golden West Financial Corporation, a major political donor to the Clinton campaign: ''Mary and John, I think you should give notice when changing strategies which have been long in place. I immediately realized something was different by the shape of the box, and I contemplated who would be sending me something in the square shaped box. Lo and behold, instead of pasta and wonderful sauces, it was a lovely, tempting assortment of cheeses. Yummy. I'm awaiting the return of my children and grandchildren from their holiday travels so that we can demolish them. Thank you so much. I hope you and your gang are well. I miss you both. Best wishes, fro a happy New Year, Herb. P.S. Do you think I'll do better playing dominoes on cheese than pasta?''

Hot dog stand - Wikileaks email from Todd Stern, Democratic donor tied with the Clintons to John Podesta: ''Man, I miss you. The next 3 months are going to be rougher internally than in Beijing between 7th and 1600. No fun. Hope you're doing okay. I'm dreaming about your hot dog stand in Hawaii...'' (Cheesybay connection)

Email sent from Tony Podesta, John Podesta's brother: ''Would love to get a pizza for an hour.''

''Bonnie will be Uber service to transport Ruby Emerson and Mave Lazado (11, 9 and almost 7). So you'll have some farther entertainment and they will be in that pool for sure.''

Reportedly, Lozado ran a website known as Eevee's Crib, which was kind of like a blog. It's hard to confirm because as soon as people started talking about this, it was removed almost immediately. But if this blog is real, it looks really bad. The website apparently featured many pictures of Lazado around young children, including her step granddaughter, Eevee. The header of the website reads, "Evelyn is growing up. Soon she will be the queen of the entire US of A. Right now for a limited time only you can spend some time with her online raw and uncut. Take advantage of this now as in the future she will have the power of life and death over you.'' 

Posts were labeled under categories such as psychopath, evil white bitch filth, malpractice, discomfort, manipulation, and ambient. Ambient, for those who don't know, is a prescription drug that is classified as a hypnotic and is used to treat insomnia short term. One of the side effects of ambient is that it wipes your memory. Many people have no recollection of anything else that occurred or what they did after dosing. Another picture on this blog shows a baby after bath time. And while not inherently sinister, it's definitely a little bit weird even though you can't see anything. But the caption here is what really stands out. It ends with: ''unrated version of this photo available only to premium subscribers.''

Marina Abromavich - The last email we'll cover for right now is sent by Maria Abramovich to Tony Podesta and later forwarded to his brother John Podesta. Google describes Abramovich as a conceptual performance artist who has pushed the boundaries of performance art as a visual art form since the 1970s. Personally, I would just say that she's a freak, but anything is art, right?: ''Dear Tony, I am so looking forward to the spirit cooking dinner at my place. Do you think you will be able to let me know if your brother is joining? All my love'', It seems innocent enough at first glance. Spirit cooking is an art form oracle ritual invented by Abramovich, inspired by the idea that ghosts feed off of intangible things like light, sound, and emotion. For this reason, her recipes involve things like evocative instructions for actions and thoughts and bodily fluids. A few excerpts from her cookbook are as follows: ''With a sharp knife, cut deeply into your middle finger of your left hand. Eat the pain. Look in the mirror for as long as it is necessary for your face to disappear. Don't eat the light.'' In an AMA on Reddit, Marina says herself that the context is what makes something art or not: "Everything depends on which context you are doing what you are doing. If you are doing the occult magic in the context of art or in a gallery, then it is art. If you are doing it in a different context, in spiritual circles or private house or on TV shows, it is not art. The intention, the context for what it is made and where it is made defines what art is or not.'' 

A video shows Abramovich writing phrases from her cookbook on a wall in pig's blood and then doussing the statue of a small child in it. 

Coincidentally, in photographs from around that time, John Podesta can be seen with a band-aid on his left hand's middle finger. And people online have also mentioned that his hands and particularly his fingers are awfully scarred as if they've been deeply wounded repeatedly. 

Comet Ping Pong - This is where James Alefantis and his world famous pizza come in. And it only gets weirder. So who is James Alefantis? Well, he's an entrepreneur who owns Comet Pingpong, a pizza restaurant located in Washington DC and also a location that was frequently mentioned in the Podesta emails. He's also one of the most powerful and influential people in the nation that you've never heard of. Despite being nothing more than a restaurant owner, GQ listed him as one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington in an article published in 2012. GQ writes: "Liberal 20somes in khakis, drink beer, and eat pizza at Alefantis owned Comet Pingpong. More established progressives whine and dine next door at Alefantis owned Bucks Fishing Camping. Aphontis is also the board president of Transformer, the contemporary art gallery that shamed the Smithsonian for removing an installation offensive to right-wingers. When it comes to DC radical chic, Alefantis is unsurpassed. If you don't know him, you aren't wearing your scarf right.'' If this guy is one of the 50 most powerful people in our nation's capital, he must make some pretty good pizza or have connections somewhere else? James Alefantis is a gay man who was involved in a relationship with David Brock, who was chief of Media Matters, a major media organization tied to the Democratic Party until he left in 2022. David Brock also founded Correct the Record, a super PAC created in 2016 to support the Clinton campaign. At a surface level, this doesn't seem that weird, and it does help explain some of the political power and influence that James Alefantis has. 

Jimmy Comet - But then people found his Instagram account @ Jimmy Comet. And as you can probably guess, it only gets weirder. We'll start with this picture that he had up on his Instagram showing a young child being held in a man's arms. Nothing wrong with that, but the caption of this picture is #chickenlovers. Chicken lover is well-known coded language that was used in the 1994 documentary film Chicken Hawk that focuses on homosexual relationships with a large age gap. An age gap. so large that it makes the relationship itself criminal. There's also this image that appears to be of a walk-in cooler being referred to as the kill room in the comments. Alefantis captioned this picture, "Oh yeah, this looks fun." And then he went into the comments under his own post and wrote # murder. 

There's this picture of a young child with euros in his mouth. And Jimmy Comet writes, "# Caris James loves spending euros." 

There's this picture of a baby doll holding a sign that says, "German baby, $1,200. Please do not touch." Jimmy Comet writes, "Way overpriced." 

There's this picture of a young child with their hands taped to a pingpong table. And in the comments again, someone else writes, "#Harris James."

People realized that Jimmy Comet's profile picture on Instagram wasn't a picture of him. It was actually a picture of a statue. Nothing weird about that except that this specific statue was the statue of Antinuous, a Greek pubescent who got involved in a relationship with Roman Emperor Hadrien who was in his late 40s and he is specifically known as the Greek boy lover.

Now, this wasn't seen as anything bad in the ancient world societal norms. But of course, we look at that a lot differently today. And this easily could have just been a coincidence, but in the bigger picture and everything else being considered, it's not hard to see why it would raise some questions. And that's really what this entire theory is based off of. How many coincidences are you willing to overlook in order to believe the official narrative that there's nothing else going on here? Even if you think this is just a bunch of conspiracy nonsense, it's not hard to see why so many people buy into it. Because in order to believe there's nothing else going on, you have to chalk so many things up to coincidence and just overlook them. The cryptic emails, the occult rituals being mentioned in the emails, the profile picture, the pictures posted on the Instagram. And there's also the elephant in the room of why is this man who is attracted to other men, so he has no kids of his own spending so much time around so many different young children? Putting aside the weird context and captions of these pictures, who even are these children? And clearly, I'm not the only one wondering that because even Snopes notes how strange his Instagram was and how James Alefantis does not have any children and neither do his closest associates. And they also note how it was privated only 2 days after it was found. So clearly he knew how bad this all looked.

James Alefantis has this picture of Marina Abraovich posted to his Instagram. So, at the very least, he's a fan of her work, which I would say isn't exactly normal. I don't think I've ever personally met a Marina Abramovich fan, and I think most people don't even know who the hell that is. 

James Alefantis also has connections to Tony Podesta, John Podesta's brother. Here they are pictured together in what seems to be some sort of campaign or fundraiser taking place at Comet. doesn't really matter. But there they are. Okay, but that could just be a campaign. It doesn't really prove that they know each other, right? Well, here's another picture from the event that is much more candid and it was posted to Jimmy Comet.

Tony Podesta Art Collection - Tony Podesta's art collection. And that's a whole another can of worms that I'm not going to open here. All I'll say is that if you look at this guy's art collection, it feels illegal. It feels like I'm doing something wrong seeing it on my computer and it's all over this guy's walls. When I started researching this, I went in hoping to find answers to some of this, but it doesn't seem like there are any. Everyone's very quick to tell you that this is all conspiracy and it's made up nonsense. And that very well might be the case, but nobody actually shows you where it's been disproven. Now, let's talk about some of the symbolism that people have noticed because I know I've said it a few times at this point, but it really does just get weirder and weirder. 

Spiral - In 2007, an FBI document leaked showing specific symbols that predators use to identify each other. While looking at this document, people noticed that these symbols appear quite frequently in businesses logos and imagery of not only Comet Pizza, but surrounding businesses as well. For starters, Comet Pizza had this play, eat, and drink or peed logo on their website, which many people believe resembles one of these symbols. 

The Comet Ping Pong website was hacked in 2016, and the hacker shared an apparent membersonly section. This members only area was password protected, but when a password was entered, it brought you to a downloads page. On this page, you're able to download various large zip files, but each one requires a specific download key. Keep in mind, this is a pizza place. What could possibly be the reason to have a membersonly section on the website with downloadable files available? And what is in these folders that is so exclusive that each one requires a unique password in order to be able to download it? And this wasn't some staff only area of the website, which even that wouldn't really make any sense, but there were apparently 110 people in this exclusive pizza club. And again, once this came out, the entire section of the website disappeared, which really does make you wonder why. It's already bizarre that it was there to begin with, but why was it removed once the public found out about it? Again, assuming this is all real, because I don't have a way to verify it myself at this point. It was apparently deleted 10 years ago. But why did they try to bury it? Why did they try to cover it up? What's there that they don't want you to see? While looking into Comet Pizza, some people noticed something peculiar about the logo of Besta Pizza, another pizza place in Washington DC, located only two blocks down from Comet. Besta Pizza's logo is literally the boy lover symbol from the FBI document. Of course, this could be a coincidence, but again, as soon as people started talking about this online and pointing it out, Best of Pizza immediately changed their logo and removed the symbol. Could they have just genuinely not known this? And then as soon as people start talking about it online, they realize and change it. Yeah, sure. And to be honest, Best of Pizza was kind of put in a lose-lose situation because if they ignore what's going on and don't do anything, people are going to point to the symbolism and say they're involved. But if they do do something like change their logo, people are going to say, "Oh, well, obviously they did know about this symbolism and now they're trying to cover it up." Some people online have made the claim that Best of Pizza, which is now closed, was owned by Andrew Klene, who worked with the human trafficking prosecution unit under Obama's Department of Justice. And if that was the case, it would be a glaring red flag and would make the symbolism in the logo being a coincidence, seemingly impossible. However, doing my own research, that doesn't seem to be the case. And I would say that there's a very small probability that there's any truth behind that claim at all. The DC Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs listed Besta Pizza under the corporate entity Uptown Pizza Inc. And Andrew Klein is listed as a non-commercial registered agent, which means that he was a third party associated with Best of Pizza, most likely a lawyer, but definitely not the owner. I say most likely a lawyer because Veritus Law Firm in Washington DC has an Andrew J. Klein listed as their co-founder who's been representing business and real estate clients for over 30 years. And from his picture, he's visibly a different person than the one associated with the Obama administration. If you ask me to point to one part of this whole theory that I think is most likely to be just a coincidence, it would be this part. And I really do think that these two men are just both named Andrew J. Klein. But who knows? Maybe the lawyer isn't a real person and he's actually a honeypot designed by the deep state in order to make the whole conspiracy more easy to delegitimize. I don't think that's likely, but crazier things have happened. 

Just across the street from Comet Ping Pong and Besta Pizza is a French restaurant known as Terasol Gallery. And again, just like Best of Pizza, as soon as people started talking about this logo online, it vanished from their website. They were put into the same lose-lose situation. And again, people took this response in action as an admission of guilt. And again, if there weren't so many other coincidences, I don't think that people would have harped on this point so much, but there are so many other coincidences, and people can only lend you so much credence. Also on the Terasol website was a picture of Hillary Clinton there.

Now, stay with me because this is going to sound like a reach, and it did to me at first, too. But people pointed out that the comet logo features crescent moons similar to some depictions of Malo. For those of you who don't know, Malo is a deity from the Hebrew Bible strongly associated with child sacrifice. Some depictions of Molo, especially later depictions, show him with a star on his forehead and two crescent moons around either one of his hands. I know this seems like a massive reach, but guess what old world god's name appears in an Instagram post by Jimmy Comet. That's right. In this post on Jimmy Comet's Instagram showing off some Christmas presents he received, if you zoom in on the bottom left, you can see the word Malo. That is so strange. And it's not like it's in a book or anything either. It looks like it's printed out on a single sheet of paper. Personally, I've never received any sort of gift, especially not a Christmas gift, referencing Moloch or any other deity. Maybe this is normal and I'm just out of the loop or something, but to me, that seems really weird, especially when you keep in mind all the ties to the occult in Marina Abramovich. It's all just so strange. And when that's the best case scenario, when the best case scenario is that you do occult rituals and worship oldw world deities that are connected to human sacrifice, it doesn't exactly leave a positive impression on people. The pizza gate conspiracy all coalesed into one incident that took place at comet pingpong. And my good friend Mr. Pild is going to jump in and give you the rundown on the entire event. 

Edgar Welch attack - In 2016, a crazed lunatic driven mad by absurd conspiracy theories stormed into Comet's pizza armed with a rifle. Totally incoherent and insane, of course, he starts firing wildly at everyone and hurts no one and only destroys one very peculiar and convenient item. According to the official Department of Justice narrative, 29-year-old Edgar Welch did indeed walk into Comet's Pizza armed with a AR-15 and revolver. Customers and employees alike fled while Edgar himself remained inside of the restaurant for about 20 minutes. What was he doing in there? Well, he found a locked closet door and he tried to jimmy it open. But when he couldn't, he decided to fire rounds into the door. After that, he didn't try and continue to get inside. He didn't break down the door. He stashed away his rifle and his revolver, walks outside unarmed, and is then arrested and sentenced to 4 years in prison. Now, what was inside that closet randomly that happened to get hit and destroyed? It was a computer and everything on it was now gone. I don't know about you, but even before looking deeper into it, even the official narrative is very weird. It's just way too clean for an active shooter event like this. Historically speaking, these are not so happy ending. Authorities claimed that the AR-15 and the revolver were recovered inside of the restaurant and then they discovered a shotgun hidden in his trunk with some ammunition. But one of the only eyewitnesses to this event, a lawyer in Maryland named Sheree, who was there with his wife and kids, claims that Edgar walked in initially with a shotgun. While this whole thing was going down, Sharief was making a series of tweets detailing the situation, while he also claims that Edgar stashed away the shotgun potentially for future use. In the official narrative, it does describe Edgar stashing weapons away for potential future use. However, my problem lies in the discrepancy between what kind of weapon, and that's because you don't have to be a firearms expert to tell the difference between a shotgun and an AR-15. They're very distinct. They have very distinct profiles and silhouettes. 

Edgar Welch is an actor listed on IMDb. Now, that alone would be just a crazy weird coincidence, right? But his father, Harry Welch, owns a media company by the name of Forever Young Productions. That's not where the oddities end, though. Harry Welch is a creature in his own. According to his IMDb bio, Harry Welch is a very, very distinguished fella. Let's take a look at it. Written over 30 screenplays. He took up karate in his 30s. That's pretty late. Pretty old to be fighting. And then went undefeated in 200 matchups. Wow. Holy moly. He holds seven Guinness Book World Records for one armed, one finger, and one finger tip push-ups. Very impressive. Not only is he a physical specimen, but he's got a soft side, too. He served as a foster family to three different children and is an avid animal lover, being a rescuer of animals for 30 years, rescuing tigers, jaguars, leopards, serverless, and operating a no-kill shelter for dogs, housing up to 55 at a time. They have found forever homes for over 300. So sweet. Things start to get a little bit more serious though in his bio, saying he worked on federal, state, and local task forces fighting the war on drugs. served five years with the Rowan County ''ABC police''. Steakouts, watching illegal stills, patrolling the county for suspected bootleggers, even working with the ATF. Gross. Even the president of the United States in 1988, Ronald Reagan himself recognized the excellence of Harry Welch because he hand selected him and 15 others to check out various military installations, even giving them national clearance and letting them check out the Cheyenne Mountain Nuclear Bunker, which is a command alternative for NORAD. However, I think the weirdest highlight was one that stood out mainly because of the context. Served as executive director for Protect a Child, a national nonprofit organization to prevent abuse and abduction of children, appointed by Governor Jim Martin to the Governor's Commission on Child Victimization in conjunction with this story and this conspiracy theory. That's a little weird. But what's weirder is the fact that this protect a child organization doesn't exist. At least I couldn't find anything on it. So, as far as I know, this is just this doesn't exist. So, why would he put it in his bio? That's about as far as it goes for Harry Welch. I couldn't really find anything else. But, I want to bring this back to Edgar because his story is not finished yet. So, I like to remain skeptical when I dive deep into these subjects. So that way I don't get sucked into that I want to believe mindset, you know, because I think that's pretty easy. I was I was asking myself if he was really a part of this conspiracy, what would he gain from destroying that computer? What would be his motive to do that? And looking into Edgar's past, I think I found a fairly reasonable potential answer to that. 

Previous to the charges that landed him a four-year sentence after walking into Comet's Pizza, Edgar had struck a 13-year-old child in a reckless driving incident. And as a man who had previous DWI charges, he was facing a pretty serious sentencing. And if we're playing with the idea that some very powerful people needed a scapegoat or a way to get rid of some evidence or or a way to maybe suppress these conspiracy theories that were making their ways out into the public, then I think it'd be a no-brainer if he was left between the choices of leaving his fate and his freedom up to the court system, potentially facing much harsher punishment, or, you know, walk into this pizza joint. Don't hurt anybody. Don't do nothing too bad. Just destroy this computer, get four years, you know, fairly light, and then be on your way. Have your previous charges nullified. It's a good deal. I'd take that deal. Just some food for thought. Well, to finally wrap this chapter up, Edgar didn't even get to enjoy his freedom because 5 years after his release in January of 2025, Edgar was killed in a officer related shooting after a traffic stop. Apparently, he pulled a gun on officers and no one knows why. Sounds a lot like a loose end tied up to me, but what do I know why? 

Alpa Project - Hillary Clinton, who is seemingly very tied into this whole alleged scandal. She's very connected to all the people who are directly involved. Well, Frank Gestra, a member of the Clinton Foundation Board of Trustees who's donated over $100 million to the foundation, helped fund the Alpa Project, a project focused on raising the living conditions of refugees. And the logo is literally the exact same as the symbol mentioned in the FBI document for boy lover. The Best of Pizza logo was pretty on the money with that same symbol. This is literally just that symbol. It's exact. It's not even a different color. It is just a giant blue spiraling triangle. 

Laura Silsby - Another person connected to the Clintons is Laura Silsby, the founder of New Life Children's Refuge. She went to Haiti in 2010 to help rehome orphaned children after the catastrophically destructive magnitude 7 earthquake. What a kind-hearted woman, right? Surely she would never traffic children. Well, guess what? She was caught by Haitian authorities smuggling 33 children on a bus across the Haitian border into the Dominican Republic. She was doing this without permission from Haiti, so illegal. And then when she was detained, it became quickly apparent that most of, if not all of these children weren't even orphans. So she took essentially a class full of children, took them away from their families, and then tried to flee the country and cross the border. Well, she was held in Haiti facing charges of conspiracy and child abduction until Bill Clinton stepped in and got her charges reduced to arranging irregular travel. She served a six-month sentence in Haiti and then was returned to the United States. And fun fact, this woman who tried to smuggle children across the border away from their families has since changed her name to Laura Gayler and has since been given an executive role at Alert Sense, the company that provides the delivery infrastructure for Amber Alert, the shit that pings your phone when a child goes missing. Yeah. A woman who was tried for child abduction is working for that company as an executive. And then when Monica Peterson, the assistant director at the human trafficking center in Colorado, began looking into the Clinton's involvement in Haiti, she was found dead. Of course, this was ruled to be caused by her own valition.

In 2015, the Department of Justice prosecuted a case where predators used the word pizza as code to solicit child sexual abuse material. 

Media basement descrepancy - Corporate media like CNN Washington Compost deliberately conflated this with 4chan trolls to discredit Pizzagate researchers. They deliberately said there is no basement, even after the fact that Alefantis himself admitted to the place having a basement in another interview. Even the guy who shot up the place drove all the way from North Carolina to DC to fire one round that magically managed to hit the Comet Ping Pong computer server.

Here are some other posts by Lotta:

Laura Silsby worked for New Life Children's Refuge and was tried on child trafficking charges after she was arrested in Haiti while attempting to smuggle 33 non-orphaned kids across the Haitian border into the Dominican Republic without documentation after the 2010 earthquake. In a transcribed interview between a Fox News host and Jorge Puellow, who was the lawyer for Laura Silsby and the other Americans detained in Haiti on these charges, when asked how they got these children, Puelo is quoted as saying, "There was an orphanage that collapsed in Haiti. It was called Friends of the Orphans of Haiti, and there was somebody over there that told them that the orphans had no place, no room to place them." Friends of the Orphans is an orphanage branch of the MPH.

Bill Clinton would intervene in Laura Silsby's case when she was facing the charges of conspiracy and child abduction in Haiti. He got the charge dropped down to arranging irregular travel, which allowed her to return to the United States after serving a 6-month sentence in Haiti and later changed her name to Laura Gaylor and gain an executive role at Alert Sense, the mass notification company that provides the software for Amber Alert. 

On January 18th, 2010, only 6 days after the earthquake, Friends of the Orphans or the St. Helen Orphanage reported that all 350 children being housed in the orphanage are safe and sustained no injuries. Only a month prior in December of 2010, the official mph.org website, which to remind you owns this orphanage that Herod was running and that Silsby tried to traffic children from, claims that the St. Helen orphanage was home to 450 orphans. So this orphanage that was at the center of this scandal under reportported the number of children that were there after the earthquake by 100. One of New Life Children's Refuge's missions was to gather specifically 100 orphans from the streets and collapsed orphanages of Haiti and then take them to the Dominican Republic. This was said to be done with the intent of rescuing them by illegally taking them away from their families across the border. All 33 children that Laura Silsby was caught with were not even orphans. They had parents in the country. But Silsby said that she got these orphans from that orphanage that under reportported how many orphans were staying there. So either Silsby is lying about where she got these children from or that orphanage was holding these children that were not orphaned for god knows what reason.

On Hillary Clinton's private email server that she was illegally using to send classified information on while serving as the US Secretary of State. Huma Abedine, who was Anthony Winer's wife, was sending her consistent updates on Laura Silsby and the other US missionaries kidnapping charges that they were facing while in Haiti. Remember Jorge Pello, the lawyer who represented Laura Silsby and the other US missionaries that were detained? Well, guess what? Jorge Puellow wasn't even a lawyer at all. Jorge Torres Puellow was arrested in Haiti in March of 2010, less than a month after he became involved in Silsby's case. And it was found out that he was a fugitive wanted in four countries posing as a lawyer. At the time of his arrest, he was wanted in the United States, Canada, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic for charges like human trafficking, exploitation of minors, and involvement in organized crime.

James Alefantis connection

In 2016, Jame Alefantis's boyfriend, David Brock founded the super PAC, Correct the Record, in order to defend Hillary Clinton from online rumors. Well, in 2011, Brock was involved in a civil lawsuit with his former partner of over 10 years, William Gray, who accused Brock and his Elephantis, of the wrongful retention of over $250,000 worth of his personal property. Brock counter sued Gray for blackmail, alleging that Gray threatened to expose embarrassing information about Brock's personal life, donors, and organizations unless paid $850,000.

Laura Silsby Child Trafficking

Laura Silsby worked for New Life Children's Refuge and was tried on child trafficking charges after she was arrested in Haiti while attempting to smuggle 33 non-orphaned kids across the Haitian border into the Dominican Republic without documentation after the 2010 earthquake. In a transcribed interview between a Fox News host and Jorge Puellow, who was the lawyer for Laura Silsby and the other Americans detained in Haiti on these charges, when asked how they got these children, Puelo is quoted as saying, "There was an orphanage that collapsed in Haiti. It was called Friends of the Orphans of Haiti, and there was somebody over there that told them that the orphans had no place, no room to place them." Friends of the Orphans is an orphanage branch of the MPH.

Bill Clinton would intervene in Laura Silsby's case when she was facing the charges of conspiracy and child abduction in Haiti. He got the charge dropped down to arranging irregular travel, which allowed her to return to the United States after serving a 6-month sentence in Haiti and later changed her name to Laura Gaylor and gain an executive role at Alert Sense, the mass notification company that provides the software for Amber Alert. 

On January 18th, 2010, only 6 days after the earthquake, Friends of the Orphans or the St. Helen Orphanage reported that all 350 children being housed in the orphanage are safe and sustained no injuries. Only a month prior in December of 2010, the official mph.org website, which to remind you owns this orphanage that Herod was running and that Silsby tried to traffic children from, claims that the St. Helen orphanage was home to 450 orphans. So this orphanage that was at the center of this scandal under reportported the number of children that were there after the earthquake by 100. One of New Life Children's Refuge's missions was to gather specifically 100 orphans from the streets and collapsed orphanages of Haiti and then take them to the Dominican Republic. This was said to be done with the intent of rescuing them by illegally taking them away from their families across the border. All 33 children that Laura Silsby was caught with were not even orphans. They had parents in the country. But Silsby said that she got these orphans from that orphanage that under reportported how many orphans were staying there. So either Silsby is lying about where she got these children from or that orphanage was holding these children that were not orphaned for god knows what reason.

On Hillary Clinton's private email server that she was illegally using to send classified information on while serving as the US Secretary of State. Huma Abedine, who was Anthony Winer's wife, was sending her consistent updates on Laura Silsby and the other US missionaries kidnapping charges that they were facing while in Haiti. Remember Jorge Pello, the lawyer who represented Laura Silsby and the other US missionaries that were detained? Well, guess what? Jorge Puellow wasn't even a lawyer at all. Jorge Torres Puellow was arrested in Haiti in March of 2010, less than a month after he became involved in Silsby's case. And it was found out that he was a fugitive wanted in four countries posing as a lawyer. At the time of his arrest, he was wanted in the United States, Canada, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic for charges like human trafficking, exploitation of minors, and involvement in organized crime.

James Alefantis connection

In 2016, Jame Alefantis's boyfriend, David Brock founded the super PAC, Correct the Record, in order to defend Hillary Clinton from online rumors. Well, in 2011, Brock was involved in a civil lawsuit with his former partner of over 10 years, William Gray, who accused Brock and his Elephantis, of the wrongful retention of over $250,000 worth of his personal property. Brock counter sued Gray for blackmail, alleging that Gray threatened to expose embarrassing information about Brock's personal life, donors, and organizations unless paid $850,000. The lawyer who represented Brock and Alphantis in this case was Max McKobe. On Max McCabe's law firm profile, he's listed as being on the board of directors of Friends of the Orphans.

SLA

ADL Espionage

James Rosenberg Case

In early October of 1981, on the east side of Manhattan, two men were arrested for brandishing rifles on the roof of an apartment building just two blocks from the United Nations headquarters. The men, Jim Anderson and John Austin, were in the middle of a photoshoot, taking turns posing menacingly with two sniper rifles when concerned neighbors called police, who would ultimately charge Anderson and Austin with possession of unregistered rifles and carrying weapons in public view. But Anderson and Austin weren't just any arrestees. Both men had spent years deeply entrenched in right-wing extremist groups all over the United States. In March of 1979, Anderson had been implicated in a plot to provoke a Pennsylvania KKK group into blowing up the Trenton, New Jersey headquarters of the NAACP. Anderson had also been involved in riots and street fights throughout the late 70s with people who showed up to protest at his racist rallies for groups like the KKK and the National Renaissance Party. Just a few months after their arrest, Jim Anderson and John Austin were prominently featured in a documentary about the far right produced by the Minneapolis PBS station WCCO titled "Armies of the Right." The documentary focused on yet another far-right organization that Anderson was involved in: the Christian Patriots Defense League, CPDL for short, a militia group that was "opposed to Zionism and communism," which held frequent paramilitary training events on the two compounds it owned, where Anderson and others taught courses on topics like handgun use, street fighting, knife fighting, and the construction of improvised explosive devices. Anderson and Austin identified in the documentary as the leaders of the Christian Patriots Defense League's New York branch, were responsible for the most racially inflammatory parts of the entire film, and Anderson had even tried to provoke a fight with random Latino passersby during a CPDL rally he'd arranged specifically for the documentary crew to film. During filming for the movie, the director had contacted the nonpartisan extremism researcher and archivist Laird Wilcox, and invited him to participate in a panel discussion at the movie's premiere in Minneapolis, along with representatives from the Anti-Defamation League and some of the far-right groups featured in the film. Wilcox would end up consulting on the documentary, giving the filmmakers information on far-right groups from his archive and new leads to follow. But the director confided in Wilcox that something about Jim Anderson and John Austin just didn't sit right with him. To quote from Wilcox's book, The Watchdogs, "The director told me that Anderson and Austin behaved strangely during the shot, often huddling together and whispering between themselves, and that Austin insisted on wearing a fake mustache. They didn't seem right," the director said, noting that they seemed to be acting and trying to create the impression of the stereotypical right-wing racist. He wondered if they were legitimate. I replied that these movements are full of strange characters and that I could spend hours relating my own experiences interviewing them. After participating in the town hall at the documentary's premiere, Wilcox flew home and started looking into Anderson's background. He quickly unearthed the records of Anderson's New York arrest on gun charges. But for some reason, Anderson's accomplice, the man who Wilcox knew as John Austin, was identified in the arrest reports under a different name: Kevin Reed. Even stranger still, there seemed to be no record of the charges after a preliminary hearing in a Manhattan courtroom. After talking to his contacts in journalism and right-wing extremist circles, Wilcox discovered that the gun charges against Anderson and Austin had been dropped at the behest of the Anti-Defamation League and its fact-finding division chief, Erwin Sewell. This seemed strange. Why was this civil rights advocacy group dedicated to eradicating right-wing extremism, the ADL, intervening in court cases on behalf of violent right-wing extremists? Well, it turned out that the white nationalist presenting himself as Jim Anderson was actually James Mitchell Rosenberg, a Jewish man who had served a tour of duty in the IDF and at one point worked for the extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane. And the reason his accomplice, John Austin, was on paper under a different name is because John Austin was just a pseudonym and his real name was Kevin Reed. In reality, Erwin Soel had been employing James Rosenberg and Kevin Reed as undercover agents of the Anti-Defamation League, sent to infiltrate and sabotage the far-right groups the ADL was targeting. The judge in the New York case was happy to help the ADL cover up what should have been a major scandal. The Anti-Defamation League, while posing as a civil rights activist group, had been caught sending out informants not just to observe far-right groups, but to actually help establish and run them, while trying to provoke the members of those same groups to engage in violence and even bombings on their group's behalf.

1992 Spy Scandle

In 1992, an investigation into the theft of classified files from the FBI San Francisco office would explode into the largest domestic espionage case in American history when raids were carried out on ADL offices, an ex-CIA agent cop in San Francisco, and a professional informant who'd spent decades spying on political movements for the ADL. What cops uncovered was a nationwide espionage operation with identical cells operating in every big and medium-sized US city where cops were being bribed, classified files stolen, and political groups infiltrated and sabotaged. Only this time, the targets of the ADL spying weren't the far right, but rather left-wing and human rights groups like the NAACP, the ACLU, Greenpeace, and the United Auto Workers, as well as journalists from the LA Times and KQED Public Television, and even elected politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Pete McCloskey, Senator Alan Cranston, and Congressman Ron Dellums. The evidence showed that the ADL was not only stealing thousands of highly classified documents, each one a felony, and illegally spying on American politicians, but they were also passing the information they gleaned onto foreign governments, an act which in any other context would rightly be called treason. This spy operation went on for at least seven years and remains to this day the biggest political espionage case in American history, with literally thousands of felonies committed, dozens of cops and FBI agents compromised, countless political and civil society organizations infiltrated and subverted, and almost certainly numerous acts of literal treason.

On August 19, 1992, an article co-authored by the ADL's then-president Abe Foxman appeared in the Washington Times newspaper titled Fruit of Islam on US Tab. The article immediately piqued the FBI's interest because it centered around information lifted from classified FBI reports showing that the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, had solicited cash payments from Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, allegedly in exchange for carrying out violent acts against Gaddafi's enemies on US soil. The FBI had already been investigating the disappearance of files on the Nation of Islam from its San Francisco office when the Times article was published, allowing them to quickly zero in on a suspect, a recently hired FBI informant named Roy Bullock, and the San Francisco cop who had introduced him to the Bureau, Tom Gerard. Roy Bullock was a professional informant and spy for the ADL who had been working for the group full-time since at least the 1950s, and spent the 80s posing as an art dealer in San Francisco while infiltrating political groups all over the Bay Area. Tom Girard was a former CIA agent and San Francisco police detective who had been stealing information from both the SFPD in his capacity as a cop and the FBI as the SFPD's liaison officer for the Bureau. The men had met at the ADL's San Francisco office in 1986 and formed a prolific spying partnership that leveraged Gerard's access to confidential government information and Bullock's network of informants to pursue the ADL's political goals at a national and international level. The FBI quickly moved to wiretap Bullock and Gerard, expecting to find a local case of a corrupt San Francisco cop selling classified information. What they found instead was a spy network that stretched across the United States, being run out of ADL offices in every big American city, that recruited local police officers as collaborators. In the San Francisco investigation alone, the ADL was found to have illegally penetrated at least 20 different police agencies just in California. and it also gained access to classified police files in Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, and a half dozen other cities around the country. Roy Bullock alone was found to have compiled files on over 9,800 individuals and at least 950 different groups. As politically disparate as Jews for Jesus, Mother Jones Magazine, anti-apartheid organizations, the National Conference of Black Lawyers and opponents of the Reagan administration's dirty wars in Latin America. Under the cover of a fake art dealership in San Francisco called East West Traders, Bullock was tasked with maintaining intelligence files on individuals and groups identified by his bosses, reporting directly to both the ADL's regional director in San Francisco, Richard Hirschhout, and Erwin Sewell, the head of the ADL's fact-finding division in their New York headquarters. Bullock's methods of investigation varied widely, from tapping phones to infiltrating groups under fake identities, recruiting informants, and digging through trash. During one scheme Bullock devised, called Operation Eavesdrop, he used a paid informant codenamed Scumbag to tap into a phone messaging network maintained by white Aryan resistance to listen in on the group's internal communications. During a raid on Bullock's residence, investigators found lists of names and phone numbers of employees at the left-wing public interest law firm the Christek Institute, run by attorney Daniel Sheehan, along with office correspondence and banking information, which indicated that Bullock had spent considerable time collecting and sorting through the Institute's trash. Bullock had also exploited the privileged access Tom Girard had to SFPD databases as a San Francisco cop, which they used to obtain confidential arrest, fingerprint, and DMV records, which were shared not only with the ADL, but often with Israeli and South African intelligence agencies as well, at the ADL's behest. According to an affidavit written by San Francisco Police Inspector Ron Roth, based on the evidence, I believe that Roy Bullock and the ADL had numerous peace officers supplying them with confidential criminal and DMV information. In Chicago, there's an ex-police officer named Shy 3. There are also references to Shy 1 and Shy 2, who apparently are not policemen. In St. Louis, there's Ironsides. In Atlanta, there's an Arab-speaking man named Flipper. For just one group, the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee, Bullock and Gerard illegally obtained confidential driver's license and vehicle registration information for at least 4,500 people, each one a felony. The FBI and SFPD never publicly released a full accounting of all the information stolen and collected by the ADL, so we only have a few data points from which to extrapolate. One of these involves the case of the investigative journalist and researcher of right-wing extremism, Chip Burleigh. Burleigh considered himself an ideological ally of the ADL, and in the early 1980s, well before the spy scandal became public, he requested a meeting with the head of the ADL's fact-finding, aka spying division, Erwin Sewell, at the league's Manhattan headquarters to discuss a mutual enemy of Burleigh's and the ADL's, the political cult leader Lyndon LaRouche. Burleigh expected a friendly meeting. "Our view then of Erwin Sowell was that he was this really terrific investigator. But when the meeting started, Sowell leans back in his chair and basically runs down a dossier on me and my research partners about what our political activities are, who we work with, what organizations we belong to. Obviously he was just trying to blow us away, and he succeeds admirably. We were just sitting there with our mouths open, feeling very uncomfortable." And then he leans forward and says, "The right wing isn't the problem. The left wing is the problem. The Soviet Union is the biggest problem in the world for Jews. It's the American left that's the biggest threat to American Jews. You're on the wrong track. You're part of the problem.'' I was virtually in tears. This is not how I perceived myself. We basically stumbled out of there in a daze. If this was what Sewell was comfortable revealing to a friendly journalist, it's scary to imagine what his dossiers on his political enemies may have contained. Local police would end up releasing a batch of documents from their search of the ATL's San Francisco office, which showed that the database of espionage files was divided into five groups: ANC, Arabs, PINCO, RITE, and SKINS. The RITE label was for right-wing extremist groups, except for skinheads, who had their own label, while PINCO was for left-wing and civil rights groups. ARAB was for organizations devoted to Arab causes, both inside the United States and internationally, while the ANC label was for causes related to the African National Congress, the left-wing quasi-communist South African paramilitary and political group led by Nelson Mandela, which opposed the apartheid South African government. According to police, Bullock's central database on his computer contained the names of nearly 12,000 individuals, 77 Arab American organizations, 29 anti-apartheid groups, and more than 600 PINCO groups, including the NAACP, the Asian Law Caucus, and the Anti-Nuclear Weapons Group. Sane Freeze, plus 20 Bay Area labor unions, including the San Francisco Labor Council, 612 right-wing organizations, and 27 skinhead groups. According to San Francisco Police Inspector Ron Roth, some three-quarters of the information in the database had been illegally obtained from government agencies. 

ADC - But information gathering was only part of the ADL spy operation. Bullock in particular spent much of his time on infiltration and sabotage operations against the ADL's targets. In one case, Bullock came to be one of the most active members in the Bay Area chapter of the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee, or the ADC, a group dedicated to championing the civil rights of Arab Americans and the Arab diaspora. According to the ADC's executive director, Albert Mokhaber, Bullock was one of our most vocal members. In fact, we have pictures of him carrying banners in support of Palestinian human rights, and we printed one of them in our most recent newsletter. He portrayed himself as someone sincerely interested in Arab civil rights and someone dedicated to the principles of our organization, and everyone believed him to be so. But at the same time, Bullock was joining local neo-Nazi and racist groups and distributing ADC literature at their meetings, trying to recruit their members to join or publicly praise the ADC so the Anti-Defamation League could turn around and publicly smear the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee as being allied with neo-Nazis and racists. 

It became apparent that leading members of the U.S. Congress who the ADL even suspected might harbor opinions critical of Israel had been targeted, including representatives Ron Dellums and Paul McCloskey, Senator Alan Cranston, and future Senator Nancy Pelosi, according to files seized by the San Francisco police. As the scandal unfolded, Henry Schwarzschild, a former ADL employee, confirmed to San Francisco Weekly that back in the 1960s, the ADL had even spied on Martin Luther King Jr., They thought King was sort of a loose cannon. He was a Baptist preacher, and nobody could be quite sure what he would do next. The ADL was very anxious about having an unguided missile out there. The NAACP was another prime target of ADL espionage and disruption. 

Alex Odeh - There's even been speculation that the ADL spy operation may have led directly to the assassination of a Palestinian rights activist on U.S. soil, which remains unsolved to this day. In 1985, a Christian Palestinian named Alex Odeh, who was employed as the executive director of the Western Region of the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee, was murdered in a bombing at his office in Santa Ana, California. Eight years after the bombing, it was revealed that Bullock, who had worked closely with Odeh and had virtually unrestricted access to his Santa Ana office right up to the day of his murder, had been spying on Odeh on behalf of the ADL for years before his death. The attack on Odeh was part of a rash of mostly unsolved bombings across the US in the mid-1980s that targeted Arab Americans and other people perceived as enemies by the most extreme fringes of the Zionist movement. Odeh's colleagues at the ADC noted that Bullock's partner, Tom Gerard, had specialized in explosives during his tenure in the CIA and expressed their suspicions to the FBI at the time. But there's no evidence that any links between the bombing and Girard were ever established or even investigated. 

Mohammed Jarad - One man, a Chicago grocer with roots in Palestine named Mohammed Jarad, spent months detained without charge in Israel when he flew there to visit relatives in Palestine in January of 1993. San Francisco Assistant District Attorney John Dwyer later revealed in a court hearing that Jarad had been a subject of ADL spying in the US, and they had passed his information directly to the Israeli government. 

Jeffrey Blankford - One Bay Area Middle East peace activist, Jeffrey Blankford, was tracked throughout an entire tour of the Middle East and North Africa, his movements ending up cataloged in his ADL file. The FBI documents released on the case also indicated that an employee of the ADL admitted to the FBI that they had personally given the Israeli government advance notice when an American member of a Palestinian rights group they'd been spying on was traveling to Israel.

Between 1985 and 1993, the ADL paid Bullock a loan nearly $170,000, equivalent to over $400,000 in 2025 dollars, illegally funneled through famous Beverly Hills attorney Bruce Hockman to conceal the true source of the funds. That's besides all the money that the ADL had paid Bullock from the 1950s through 1985, his sole source of income for most of the period, and the thousands more both Bullock and Girard regularly received from South African intelligence. 

After the Nation of Islam article came out, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and the FBI opened separate investigations into Bullock for tapping phones, illegally accessing answering machines, and assuming false identities, while Girard faced investigation over theft of classified information and illegally accessing police and DMV files. Early in the investigation, the ADL itself was thought to be facing at least 48 felony counts, including an indictment for gaining illegal access to police computers. One source close to the West Coast investigation told The Village Voice, "It is 99% certain that the ADL will be indicted." And how did the ADL react upon learning of the FBI investigation? They quickly sent Roy Bullock on a mission to Germany, which was supposed to last two weeks, but once he was in the country, they told him to stay there until his money ran out, hoping to keep him incommunicado until the investigation blew over. Tom Gerrard was picked up for an FBI interrogation and within days was on a one-way flight to the Philippines with his wife, a country that had no extradition treaty with the U.S. Police searches of Gerrard's property turned up CIA manuals, including some about torture methods. a number of photos of dark-skinned men being shamed and blindfolded, a secret document on interrogation techniques from El Salvador, a black executioner's hood, and 10 different passports, all with Gerard's photo but under different names. From his jungle hideout in the Philippines, Gerard told the LA Times that if he were indicted in the ADL spy case, he would go public with his knowledge of the CIA's involvement with Latin American death squads, a credible threat considering the years he'd spent traveling throughout the region for the CIA. 

For their part, the ADL claimed that they'd had no relationship with Gerard and knew nothing about his and Bullock's spy ring. This position became untenable when FBI searches uncovered a private memo by Bullock outlining how he'd been introduced to Gerard by the regional executive director of the ADL, Richard Herschhout, and an ADL memo written by Erwin Sewell describing Roy Bullock as the group's number one investigator. The national director of the ADL, Abe Foxman, went on a media tour shamelessly lying about the group's actions. Speaking to the Washington Post, Foxman said: "We do not spy, okay? I don't care which definition you use. And anybody who says that the ADL spies is engaged in a lie is engaged in trying to destroy what it is that we do." 

Gerard returned to the US after a few months saying he feared for his life in the Philippines, believing that the CIA may have put a contract out on his head. The San Francisco Examiner spoke to sources in the Philippines who said Gerard had been receiving threats and was even physically attacked by two unknown assailants. San Francisco police picked up Gerard immediately after he touched down at San Francisco International Airport, booking him on eight counts of theft of government documents and one count each of burglary, computer theft, and conspiracy. The case against Gerard was straightforward and overwhelming. As a San Francisco cop and liaison to the FBI, he had stolen private and classified documents and passed them on to the ADL and the Israeli and South African governments. as part of a conspiracy, ample proof of which was discovered during FBI and SFPD searches of his property. The cases against Bullock and the ADL, on the other hand, proved to be somewhat more ambiguous if just as well substantiated.

Cover Up - They had conspired in the theft of classified documents and spied on domestic political groups and even elected politicians on behalf of foreign countries. The ADL and Bullock could have faced credible charges of theft, conspiracy, espionage, and even treason. But the story of the legal case against the spy ring is perhaps the most convoluted part of the whole scandal, with the media coverage marred by contradictions and a conspicuous lack of detail. Although the case would be investigated by both the FBI and the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and local police, the exact sequence of events can't be ascertained from the scrupulously ambiguous contemporaneous news coverage. It seems that the case began as an investigation into the theft of files from the San Francisco FBI office, but quickly ballooned in ways that the FBI didn't anticipate and became highly politically inconvenient. 

One of Bullock's fellow spies at the ADL, a law school dropout named David Gerwitz, was trying to get a higher paying job in the fact-finding, aka spying, division of the Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, but found that the job had already been taken by a rival researcher. As FBI agents listened in on wiretaps, Bullock and Gerwitz formulated a plan to set up the rival researcher. The Wiesenthal Center spy had gone undercover to join a local skinhead group in Los Angeles as part of an infiltration operation. Olic and Gervitz planned to unmask the mole to the other skinheads, setting him up for a violent confrontation, or possibly even assassination. The FBI, unwilling to risk letting the Wiesenthal Center spy be harmed on their watch, moved to arrest Gervitz, who quickly turned informant. The FBI would find numerous stolen classified documents in the ADL's San Francisco office, including FBI reports on groups like the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, along with a trove of memos between Richard Herschout and Erwin Sewell, bragging about Tom Gerrard passing on whole dolly loads of files on Arab Americans to the ADL. During his FBI interrogations, Roy Bullock would initially claim that it was his superiors in the ADL who put him in touch with the South African intelligence agents to whom he'd been passing information. Later, he changed his story and blamed Tom Gerrard. Gerrard in turn blamed Bullock and the ADL blamed both of them, claiming that they'd never met Gerrard and barely knew who Bullock was and took no responsibility for their actions. Bullock would eventually tell FBI investigators that he was introduced to South African intelligence agents and began passing them information after being tasked with infiltrating the Bay Area anti-apartheid movement by the ADL. The FBI quickly recognized the national scope of the spy scandal, finding that similar operations were being conducted in cities all over the United States, coordinated from Erwin Soule's office at the New York headquarters of the ADL. Sensing the impending danger of a full-fledged national FBI investigation, the ADL sought to bring the scandal out of the legal realm and into the political, where they could leverage their connections to Israel and its lobby to influence Washington. According to a secret March 29, 1993 FBI memo, ''The San Francisco Police Department has received information from a reliable source that two persons— described as 'Israeli generals' are in or are about to travel to Washington, D.C. in regard to the ADL case. The purpose of their travel is to try to visit the Attorney General to press for an end to the FBI's investigation concerning Redacted and Redacted, likely Bullock and Girard. According to the SFPD, the FBI's investigation of these matters are causing a great deal of interference in the U.S. activities of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, and so Israel is seeking to intercede on the ADL's behalf.'' In private, the pretense that the ADL was anything other than an arm of the Israel lobby was dropped completely. The ADL also sought out friendly journalists in the American media and introduced them to some of the corrupt Chicago cops who had turned moles for the ADL, hoping to sway public opinion by seeding articles with suggestions that their operations were innocuous or even patriotic. 

Jonathan Pollard - The ADL came under FBI scrutiny in the late 80s over the Jonathan Pollard spying case when it was discovered that Pollard's handler, an Israeli Air Force colonel named Avi Sella, was married to a lawyer in the ADL's New York office, prompting an investigation which ultimately came to nothing. 

But by 1993, Tom Gerard had been arrested. The FBI had found stolen government documents and evidence of extensive spying in raids of both the ADL and Roy Bullock's offices, and they'd extracted a confession from Bullock regarding an espionage conspiracy involving the ADL, the State of Israel, and South African intelligence. But despite the overwhelming evidence the FBI had uncovered, by the spring of 1993, their investigation ended without explanation before a single federal charge or indictment had been presented. Apparently, whatever influence the Israelis had brought to bear against the FBI had worked. But by this point, a parallel investigation had been opened by the San Francisco District Attorney's Office into state and local crimes committed by Bullock, Gerard, and the ADL, along with various lawsuits from the subjects of the spy ring, who sought damages for things like invasion of privacy or slander, cases which continued despite the FBI's dereliction of duty. In the spring of 1993, San Francisco Assistant District Attorney John Dwyer told reporters: ''The ADL is the target. Their involvement is just so great. People have called this the Gerard case. Now it's the ADL case. Gerard is just their guy in San Francisco. The ADL is doing the same thing all over the country. There's evidence that the ADL had police agents in other cities. The case just gets bigger every day. The more we look, the more we find people involved.'' The DA's office would conduct another raid of the ADL San Francisco branch, ultimately carting out 10 boxes full of files. Among the documents seized were Israeli government files about individual American citizens, further cementing the impression that the ADL was acting as an agent of the Israeli state. In public statements, the San Francisco DA's office referred to potential fines that would run into millions and felony charges that could put Anti-Defamation League spies behind bars for years. The ADL would once again go on the offensive. According to the Washington Post, The organization, quote, waged an aggressive public relations campaign to try to persuade news organizations and ADL supporters to disregard the evidence and be skeptical of the motivations of the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. While the FBI's investigation had expanded to cities across the United States, the San Francisco DA's office investigation only got as far as Los Angeles, where they were looking into a parallel ADL operation run out of the league's office there. But the SFPD and DA's office investigators kept running up against inexplicable refusals to cooperate with the investigation from local law enforcement and the FBI. One of the clearest illustrations of this stonewalling comes from a memo written by the San Francisco detective who was sent to LA to investigate the ADL's spy operation there. The detective writes that he was surprised at how little cooperation he received from the LAPD when he was in Los Angeles working on the case. Then, after leaving Los Angeles, the detective says he received a series of phone calls from the LAPD's Anti-Defamation League liaison officer and an FBI agent, the contents of which suggested that the two agencies may have been coordinating with each other to impede the investigation. The first calls came from the LAPD's ADL liaison officer, who said he was, ''very interested in the files the detective had seized from the ADL's Los Angeles office'', and asked to meet the detective for dinner, even offering to drive to San Francisco so they could talk about the case. The San Francisco detective found this extremely odd, since he had just left Los Angeles, where he'd been effectively stonewalled by the LAPD. But then as soon as he leaves, this ADL liaison officer is suddenly very interested in learning what he'd uncovered. Then, the San Francisco detective reports receiving a phone call from an FBI agent asking what the detective knows about the case of the Los Angeles Eight, a group of seven Palestinians and one Kenyan who were all facing deportation in a highly politically charged case involving pro-Palestinian activism. 

LA Eight - It's too complex to go into detail here, but the U.S. government was trying to deport the eight legal U.S. residents using a novel interpretation of a law against, quote, advocating for world communism that hadn't been used since the 1950s, all because the Los Angeles Eight had supported the Popular Front for the liberation of Palestine. The FBI agent was calling the San Francisco detective, ostensibly to ask if any of the Los Angeles Eight defendants' names had shown up in the files they'd confiscated from the ADL's offices. The San Francisco detective noted in his report of the conversation that the judge in the Los Angeles Eight case, Bruce J. Einhorn, was known to have connections with the ADL. The very next day, the San Francisco detective receives another call. It's redacted here, but the context implies it was from the same LAPD Anti-Defamation League liaison officer as before, asking about the same Los Angeles 8 deportation trial, saying that he knew Judge Einhorn well, and that Einhorn was intimately familiar with the ADL, and considered himself a, quote, Nazi hunter. The two calls on the same topic, coming less than a day apart, seemed more than coincidental, and it appears likely that there was at least some level of coordination between the FBI and the other agencies that were stonewalling the San Francisco investigation, including the LAPD. Was this ADL liaison officer in Los Angeles yet another spy trying to undermine the investigation into his handlers? Was the FBI agent a spy? And why was the LAPD stonewalling them in the first place? Incredibly, this likely wasn't even the FBI's most egregious interference in the San Francisco DA's case. Tom Gerard faced 11 charges at the time of his May 1993 arrest, eight counts of theft of government documents, and one count each of burglary, computer theft, and conspiracy. However, each individual stolen FBI and DMV document was grounds for a separate felony charge, meaning he could have credibly faced hundreds, if not thousands of felonies at trial. But in late April of 1994, the judge in Gerard's criminal case ruled that the prosecution couldn't move forward because the FBI refused to release their evidence in the case. This evidence, which had been requested by Gerard's defense attorneys, was believed to be summaries of the FBI wiretaps on Gerard and Bullock that showed the two were selling confidential information on anti-apartheid groups to the South African government. Despite having overwhelming proof of Gerard's guilt, the San Francisco DA let Gerard off with a single misdemeanor charge of illegal access to a police computer system, for which he was sentenced to 45 days sheriff's work detail and three years probation. Even more incredibly, San Francisco District Attorney Arlo Smith announced that he would not be criminally prosecuting either Roy Bullock or the ADL because it would be "expensive and time-consuming both to the San Francisco DA and the defendants." This must be the only criminal case in American history where a prosecutor declined to pursue espionage charges because they might have had a negative effect on the spies themselves. In what the media described as a quote "unusual procedure," instead of criminal charges, the district attorney filed a civil lawsuit against Bullock and the ADL for illegally possessing confidential documents, then immediately settled the suit with no admission of wrongdoing. The text of the settlement agreement showed that the only legal matters being considered by the DA were whether the ADL had acquired government documents illegally and whether it broke tax laws with Bullock's employment. The terms of the agreement required the ADL to pledge not to engage in illegal information gathering activities, in other words, spying. in California and to put $75,000 towards fighting hate crimes, an ironic request considering "fighting hate" is ostensibly the whole point of the ADL in the first place. The civil suits filed by the victims of the ADL's spying fared only slightly better. Taking the case all the way to the California Supreme Court, ADL attorneys successfully argued that the ADL itself as an organization qualified as a journalist and was therefore entitled to the same First Amendment protections as any legitimate journalist, including the right to receive and publish classified information. Most of the plaintiffs would combine their cases into a single class action lawsuit which lasted until 1999, when the ADL agreed to pay $175,000 for the plaintiffs' court costs and dedicate $25,000 to improving relations between the Jewish, Arab, and African American communities, without any admission of wrongdoing or even a binding promise that the ADL wouldn't continue spying on the very same people. Despite containing unimplicit admission that the ADL had been illegally spying on dozens of civil rights and left-wing activist groups, from Greenpeace to the American Indian Movement, the settlement received almost no coverage in the mainstream media. In Los Angeles, the city where the class action suit was settled, the Los Angeles Times gave the case a mere 281 words in a news summary in its smaller circulation, Metro Home Edition. The San Francisco Chronicle also buried its sole mention of the settlement far behind the front page. Predictably, the ADL shamelessly took a victory lap, declaring that the entire affair had been an anti-Semitic hoax, and that anyone claiming otherwise was a liar, conspiracy theorist, or an anti-semite. The head of the ADL, Abe Foxman, released a prepared statement, saying, quote, This settlement confirms our consistent position that the ADL has engaged in no misconduct of any kind. Being of little use as a spy in the wake of the scandal, the ADL put Bullock directly on their payroll, no longer deeming it necessary to funnel his salary through a third party. As of about 10 years ago, the ex-CIA agent and San Francisco cop Tom Gerard was rumored to be back living in the Philippines. The spymaster and chief of the ADL's fact-finding division out of New York, Erwin Sewell, who remained in his position until 1997, passing away the next year. 

The ADL's regional executive director for the San Francisco region, Richard Herschout, who coordinated the espionage activities along with Sewell, later became the head of the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Skokie and is now the director of the American Jewish Committee of Los Angeles. 

The ADL had conspired to steal thousands of confidential government documents, each one a felony, bribed police officers all over the United States, spied on American congressmen, and passed stolen government files on Americans to foreign intelligence agencies in Israel and South Africa, crimes that would amount to a treasonous conspiracy under any rational reading of the law. And yet everyone involved not only avoided prosecution with the minor exception of Gerard's single misdemeanor plea, but no one even suffered any professional consequences either. And apparently the American media unanimously decided early on that the ADL's espionage conspiracy wasn't newsworthy because the little coverage that actually made it to print studiously ignored the implications of having a nationwide network of police spies being bribed by the ADL. To this day, the mainstream media treats the Anti-Defamation League as an authority on civil rights issues and an apolitical human rights group. that can be relied on to produce objective reports about the state of minority rights in the United States. The spy scandal and the fact that the ADL engaged in brazenly illegal conduct while acting as an agent of the State of Israel are never mentioned when the media reports on a new political initiative or research study being touted by the ADL. Omissions that allow the group to continue posing as champions of the very rights they sought to undermine by spying on behalf of the apartheid government of South Africa.

The ADL argues that any threat to Israel's image in America endangers the $3 billion annual package of U.S. military and economic aid to Israel and thereby jeopardizes the long-term fate of all Jews. 

The question of the FBI's participation in the cover-up of the spy network is even more perplexing. The Bureau does have a track record of using informants from groups like the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center to infiltrate extremist political groups, which the FBI lacks the legal grounds to target. But those cases have involved domestic extremists, not information gathering for foreign governments. So what explains the FBI's behavior here? Well, it's possible that the FBI just didn't want to face any inconvenient questions about their deep, pre-existing relationship with the ADL. In 1985, seven years before the spy scandal broke, the FBI Director William Webster wrote a priority cable to the FBI's 25 largest field offices, ordering them to establish permanent local liaisons to the Anti-Defamation League, mirroring the LAPD's ADL liaison program that would later be implicated in the Los Angeles spy ring. By 1986 at the latest, the ADL was giving annual training lectures on the subject of hate crimes at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. In 1989, Thomas F. Jones, the Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI in charge of the Criminal Investigations Division, invited the ADL's chief spymaster, Erwin Sewell, and two of his associates to lecture the top 50 FBI agents on civil rights law. Clearly, those at the top of the FBI considered the ADL a partner organization with a mission that was at least broadly consistent with that of the FBI. 

COINTELPRO - The original COINTELPRO, or Counterintelligence Program, was a series of FBI operations where political groups which the Bureau had deemed subversive were targeted for surveillance, infiltration, and sabotage to discredit the groups and disrupt their operations. COINTELPRO targets famously included Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Panthers, but also extended to some extreme right-wing groups like the KKK. After a break-in at an FBI office in Pennsylvania revealed the existence of COINTELPRO, the program was officially terminated by the Bureau, but many of its functions continued under different program names. In the mid-70s, however, the Church and Pike congressional committees, which investigated various abuses committed by America's intelligence agencies, provoked outrage when they revealed the true extent of COINTELPRO, including spying on peaceful civil rights activists and left-wing groups. 

By the 1980s, however, these domestic political espionage and infiltration programs had largely been scaled back, both at the FBI and at the equivalent state and local agencies. In fact, one of the biggest sources for Bullock's database was a batch of files he had received when the SFPD shut down its version of COINTELPRO, the police intelligence unit. And instead of destroying the files as had been ordered, Girard stole them and handed them over to Bullock. The Bureau had collected several weeks' worth of conversations from their wiretaps of Bullock and Girard, but they but they decided to let the criminal case against Gerard lapse rather than release the contents of those wiretaps. Was it the visit from the Israeli generals that convinced the DOJ to quash the cases? Or was there something on those wiretaps that would have created an even bigger scandal for the FBI? And in fact, it seems that federal agency collusion with the ADL spies reached beyond even the FBI. Tom Gerard, the ex-CIA agent and San Francisco cop, provided Roy Bullock with surveillance photos of Arab Americans that he claimed he had received from the U.S. Customs Service in New York. Gerard claimed to be in frequent contact with a CIA affiliate in San Francisco. And Bullock believed Girard was exchanging information with the CIA, and possibly being tasked with domestic intelligence work for them as well. 

One of the ways the ADL recruited their moles in American law enforcement was by offering police departments and federal agencies all-expense-paid trips to Israel, where officers could receive free training from Israel's espionage and counterintelligence organizations. According to the San Francisco DA's office, they had uncovered ADL spies working in police departments across the country. They're even still doing the same kinds of FBI trainings they were doing in the 1980s. 

But behind the scenes, they're perfectly comfortable coordinating with the Mossad and sending Israeli generals to Washington to lobby on the ADL's behalf.

Lawrence Franklin spy scandal

In the 2009 Lawrence Franklin spy scandal, members of the Office of Special Plans, the very Pentagon office that had been cooking the intelligence on WMDs to lie the United States into the Iraq War, were caught passing classified information to AIPAC and the Israelis.
