By Christopher Bollyn \u2013 American Free Press<\/strong><\/p>\n Christopher Bollyn is an investigative journalist who has written extensively on the events of September 11, 2001 in the Washington-based American Free Press. He has researched different aspects of the 9\/11 attacks and uncovered facts and evidence that challenge the official version of events. tried to smear Bollyn as an \u201canti-Semite\u201d in order to discredit him and diminish the significance of his work. At the helm of both organizations, the ADL and Fox News, is an Australian-born Zionist named Keith Rupert Murdoch.<\/em><\/p>\n Murdoch\u2019s Jewish Roots<\/strong><\/p>\n Murdoch \u201cbecame an American citizen for business reasons,\u201d according to Richard H. Curtiss, editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Keith Rupert was born in Melbourne, Australia, on March 11, 1931. \u201cRupert\u2019s father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a newspaper publisher, and his mother an Orthodox Jew,\u201d Curtiss wrote, \u201calthough Murdoch never offers that information in his biographies.\u201d<\/p>\n Murdoch\u2019s father married Elisabeth Joy Greene, daughter of Rupert Greene in 1928. They had one son, Keith Rupert and three daughters. Later in life, Keith Rupert chose to use Rupert, the first name of his Jewish maternal grandfather.<\/p>\n The young Keith Rupert was educated at Australia\u2019s fashionable Geelong private school, and went on to the elitist and aristocratic Oxford University in England, according to Candour (UK) magazine.<\/p>\n \u201cRupert\u2019s father Sir Keith Murdoch attained his prominent position in Australian society through a fortuitous marriage to the daughter of a wealthy Jewish family, n\u00e9e Elisabeth Joy Greene. Through his wife\u2019s connections, Keith Murdoch was subsequently promoted from reporter to chairman of the British-owned newspaper where he worked. There was enough money to buy himself a knighthood of the British realm, two newspapers in Adelaide, South Australia, and a radio station in a faraway mining town,\u201d Candour wrote in 1984. \u201cFor some reason, Murdoch has always tried to hide the fact that his pious mother brought him up as a Jew.\u201d<\/p>\n While Murdoch may have \u201ctried to hide\u201d his Jewish roots, he has been quite forthright about his support for extreme right-wing Zionists, such as Benjamin Netanyahu and Ariel Sharon.<\/p>\n Netanyahu, who wrote a book entitled The War on Terror: How the West Can Win in 1986, is a frequent commentator on Murdoch\u2019s Fox News.<\/p>\n Murdoch\u2019s support for Zionism extremists is well known and a matter of record. As New York Governor George Pataki said, \u201cThere is no newspaper in the U.S. more supportive of Israel than the [Murdoch\u2019s] New York Post.\u201d<\/p>\n It is through a network of Zionist organizations, in which Murdoch plays a central role, that Murdoch is connected to the individuals who arranged the privatization \u2013 and obtained control of the World Trade Center \u2013 shortly before its destruction.<\/p>\n These key individuals are: Larry Silverstein and the former Israeli commando Frank Lowy, the lease holders of dubious repute who gained control of the WTC property six weeks before 9\/11, and Port Authority Chairman Lewis M. Eisenberg, who authorized the transfer of the leases.<\/p>\n Murdoch belongs to, and has been honored by, a number of leading Zionist organizations in which Silverstein, Lowy, and Eisenberg all hold senior positions. These organizations include the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the United Jewish Appeal (UJA), and the New York-based Museum of Jewish Heritage \u2013 A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n Fifty days before 9\/11, Silverstein Properties and Lowy\u2019s Westfield America secured 99-year leases on the WTC. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey turned control of the World Trade Center over to the private hands of Silverstein and Lowy on July 24, 2001.<\/p>\n Silverstein and Lowy then took control of the 10.6 million-square-foot complex, which included the twin towers office buildings and two nine-story office buildings. Silverstein and the former Israeli commando Lowy then controlled all access to the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n Lowy leased the shopping concourse called the Mall at the World Trade Center, which comprised about 427,000 square feet of retail space.<\/p>\n \u201cSix weeks before the WTC towers were destroyed, the Port Authority completed the process of leasing them for 99 years to Larry Silverstein, the developer who had built 7 World Trade Center [which mysteriously self-demolished at 5:25 p.m. on 9\/11].<\/p>\n \u201cSimultaneously, the retail space underneath the complex was leased to Westfield America, the US division of an Australian company that is one of the world\u2019s largest operators of shopping malls.\u201d Paul Goldberger wrote in New Yorker, May 20, 2002.<\/p>\n \u201cSilverstein and Westfield were given the right to rebuild the structures if they were destroyed, and Westfield has the right to expand the retail space by 30 percent,\u201d Goldberger wrote.<\/p>\n Silverstein is suing for some $7.2 billion in insurance money for the loss of the destroyed World Trade Center \u2013 and his expected earnings \u2013 for property he had leased with a down payment of $100 million \u2013 of borrowed funds.<\/p>\n Murdoch the Zionist<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMurdoch is a close friend of Ariel Sharon,\u201d Sam Kiley, The Times (UK) veteran journalist on the Middle East wrote about the man who took over the once famous British paper. Kiley said Murdoch\u2019s friendship with the Israeli prime minister had caused senior staff at the paper to rewrite important copy.<\/p>\n \u201cMurdoch\u2019s executives were so afraid of irritating him that, when I pulled off a little scoop of tracking down and photographing the unit in the Israeli army which killed Mohammed al-Durrah, the 12-year-old boy whose death was captured on film and became the iconic image of the conflict, I was asked to file the piece \u2018without mentioning the dead kid.\u2019\u201d Kiley wrote. \u201cAfter that conversation, I was left wordless, so I quit.\u201d<\/p>\n Sharon and Murdoch are old friends. On Oct. 15, 1982, a month after the massacres of thousands of Palestinian refugees in the Sabra and Shatila camps of Beirut, war crimes which occurred under Sharon\u2019s direct command, the Israeli defense minister held meetings with Rupert Murdoch and others, reportedly in order to advance his \u201cWest Bank real estate grab.\u201d<\/p>\n The visit with Sharon included a trip for Murdoch and his editors from New York and London that \u201ctook them on a bird\u2019s-eye tour of Israel aboard a helicopter gunship, flying over the Golan Heights, West Bank and settlements.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have always believed in the future of Israel and the goals of the international Jewish community,\u201d Murdoch said at a spring fund-raiser for the Museum of Jewish Heritage \u2013 A Living Memorial to the Holocaust on April 29, 2001.<\/p>\n From the beginning, News Corp., his global media company, \u201chas been supportive of the Jewish national cause,\u201d Murdoch said.<\/p>\n Larry Silverstein, who had not yet acquired the lease on the World Trade Center, attended the fund-raiser with Murdoch and reportedly said about museum chairman Robert Morgenthau\u2019s plans to expand the museum: \u201cI\u2019ll support you\u2026as long as you keep it under 110 stories.\u201d<\/p>\n Murdoch and the ADL<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHenry Kissinger, Rupert Murdoch and Mortimer Zuckerman are on the [ADL] dinner committee,\u201d according to a recent New York Times report on the ADL\u2019s recent fund-raiser in which the controversial Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi received the ADL\u2019s Distinguished Statesman Award.<\/p>\n Silverstein and Eisenberg have both held senior leadership positions with the United Jewish Appeal (UJA), a billion dollar Zionist \u201ccharity\u201d organization, to which Murdoch and Lowy generously contribute. In 1997, Henry Kissinger presented Murdoch with the UJA\u2019s award for \u201cHumanitarian of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n Silverstein is a former chairman of UJA. This organization raises hundreds of millions of dollars every year for a network of Zionist agencies in the United States and Israel. Eisenberg, who was instrumental in obtaining the lease for Silverstein, is on the Planning Board of UJA.<\/p>\n Eisenberg in his role with the Port Authority was the key person who negotiated the 99-year leases for Silverstein and Frank Lowy\u2019s Westfield America, who were in fact the low-bidders for the lease on the 110-story towers and the retail mall.<\/p>\n Murdoch and the Czechoslovakian-born Israeli commando Frank Lowy, a former fighter in Israel\u2019s Golani Brigade, who emigrated to Australia in the 1950s, have had a long friendship, which Murdoch recounted during an American Australian Association fund-raising dinner in honor of Frank\u2019s son, Peter S. Lowy, in New York on November 20, 2002. Larry Silverstein and his wife also attended the American Australian event.<\/p>\n Some reporters refer to the American Australian Association, whose membership includes James Wolfensohn, the president of the World Bank, who raised cash for Rupert Murdoch when he first expanded into the United States, as \u201cthe kangaroo mafia.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFrank was a brave and determined fighter,\u201d Rafi Kocer, Lowy\u2019s former commander, said. Lowy has donated some $350,000 to build a memorial museum in Israel for his former brigade.<\/p>\n Today, Lowy and his three sons control Westfield Corporation, one of the largest operators of shopping centers in the United States \u2013 and the world.<\/p>\n Insured Against Terrorist Attacks<\/strong><\/p>\n On September 12, 2001, The Jerusalem Post reported: \u201cFrank Lowy, who emigrated to Australia from Israel in 1952, owns the 99-year lease for the 425,000 square foot retail portion of the destroyed World Trade Center\u2026Westfield said today that it has insurance cover against terrorist attacks and its earnings will not be materially affected.\u201d<\/p>\n Lowy, is described by the Sydney Morning Herald as \u201ca self-made man with a strong interest in the Holocaust and Israeli politics.\u201d<\/p>\n ___ By Christopher Bollyn \u2013 American Free Press Christopher Bollyn is an investigative journalist who has written extensively on the events of September 11, 2001 in the Washington-based American Free Press.
