Who Towers Behind Donald Trump?

For more about Trump, see here, here and here. Also, see here, here, here and here for more about the Mob.  For more on the CIA, organized crime and drugs, see here.



No, Donald Trump is not Jewish, but an inquiry into the background of this flamboyant American entrepreneur provides some surprising insights into Trump’s path to power and influence, for the fact is that Trump’s rise to stardom came as a direct consequence of his having functioned as hardly more than a colorful front man for some very wealthy behind the scenes sponsors. The story of the colorful businessman and former television star called “The Donald” is one that demonstrates how non-Jewish individuals and financial interests can rise to great heights through the sponsorship of Jewish interests.

Everyone knows, of course, about Trump’s gambling operations and of the wide-ranging links of the gambling industry to organized crime. But the story is much bigger than that. In his own memoir, The Art of the Deal, Trump proudly described how in 1987 he bought his first casino interests when he purchased 93 percent of the voting stock in the Resorts International gambling concern.

What Trump doesn’t tell his readers is what the late Andrew St. George reported in The Spotlight on Oct. 30, 1978 (and in the previous Sept. 25, 1978, issue): that Resorts International was established and controlled by front men for the Rockefeller and Rothschild families and their “enforcers” in the CIA and its allied intelligence agency, Israel’s Mossad.

The Spotlight’s report focused on the activities of Resorts International and provided readers with an extensive overview of the “fixed” gambling rackets conducted by underworld gambling elements.
What made the report so explosive was that this newspaper pointed out that the illegally rigged casinos were being operated with the collusion of “respectable” politicians, law enforcement officials, Wall Street financiers who floated loans to finance the gambling resorts, and the high profile
gambling resort operators themselves.

In addition, as St. George pointed out, many of these casino resorts run by the mob through a variety of front men have actually been engaged in a de facto partnership with behind-the-scenes mobsters who have assisted the CIA and the Mossad in massive laundering of drug and gambling profits that have been channeled into covert operations of the two allied intelligence agencies. In return, the CIA and the Mossad, using their own influence, have provided “protection” for the illegally fixed
gambling operations, preventing law enforcement authorities from cracking down on this corruption.

Where does would-be president Donald Trump fit into the picture? To find the answer, one must turn to the murky origins of Resorts International.

In fact, Resorts evolved from a CIA front company set up in the early 1950’s by then-CIA director Allen Dulles and his close associate, three term New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey, political functionary in the so-called “Rockefeller Republican” wing of the GOP.

The front company in question was the innocuously named Mary Carter Paint Company which did, in fact, operate a national chain of paint stores but which was set up to function as a covert CIA money laundering operation.

In 1958-59, Dewey and a number of associates used a reported $2 million in CIA funds to buy a controlling interest in the Crosby-Miller Corporation (headed by Dewey friend James Crosby) which was then merged with Mary Carter.

Among other things, the new corporation laundered CIA money for arming the anti-Castro Cuban exiles. The company also launched into lucrative casino gambling enterprises in the Caribbean where the CIA was quite active during that period, having engaged the Lansky crime syndicate in now-thoroughly documented and widely known plots to topple Fidel Castro who had enraged the mob by closing down its Cuban gambling enterprises.

Thus, it should be no surprise that in 1963, Alvin Malnik, a top henchman of crime syndicate boss Meyer Lansky, was found to be closely connected to the operations of Mary Carter Paint. Imagine how many law-abiding Americans who bought Mary Carter’s paint products would have been surprised to learn that they were helping fund a joint operation of the CIA and the mob which posed
behind the smiling face of a “typical American housewife,” the fictional “Mary Carter” whose visage adorned its products.

In 1963 Mary Carter Paint spun off its paint division and during the next several years began developing its casino operations, particularly in the Bahamas. In 1967-68 Mary Carter Paint officially changed its name to Resorts International and began massive expansion internationally.The Spotlight determined that several principal investors provided the funds and assets for the venture:

• Meyer Lansky, the acknowledged “chairman of the board” and chief financier of the underworld gambling syndicate, who maintained his own longstanding ties to not only Israel and the Mossad, but also the CIA and the American intelligence community;

• David Rockefeller, head of the Rockefeller financial empire, who provided his family’s clout and CIA and global banking connections to assist in the operation;

• The Investors Overseas Service (IOS), then the world’s largest flight-capital conglomerate, controlling assets worth $2.5 billion. The nominal chief of IOS was colorful Bernard Cornfeld. However, Cornfeld himself was no more than the front man for two behind-the-scenes principals:

• Tibor Rosenbaum, who was not only the Mossad’s Swiss-based chief financier behind covert arms deals, but also the head of the Banque De Credit Internationale of Geneva, the Lansky syndicate’s chief European money laundry; and

• Baron Edmond de Rothschild of the European banking family and a personal business partner of Rosenbaum in Rosenbaum’s Mossad-related ventures ranging far and wide; and lastly,

• William Mellon Hitchcock, one of the heirs to the Mellon family fortune (one of America’s largest private family fortunes which, for many years, has also maintained close ties with the CIA).

This was the group that capitalized Resorts International which, through a wide-ranging public relations program, aided and abetted by the American media, promoted the myth that the “new” company was “cleaning up” gambling. To promote the fable, the new venture hired on (at inflated salaries) a raft of former FBI and CIA operatives and Justice Department lawyers who assured the world that the gambling ventures run by Resorts International were “syndicate free” and “family friendly,” the facts notwithstanding.

Resorts International expanded by leaps and bounds and soon became one of the most profitable of all the gambling enterprises, and by 1970 the underworld figures who were running the casinos (in league with their behind-the-scenes partners) began moving to expand casino gambling in the United States.

Mob chief Meyer Lansky called a high-level meeting of gambling syndicate figures in Acapulco, New Mexico and there the assembled mobsters pinpointed the fading resort of Atlantic City as their first new target. (Prior to that time, of course, the mob had already established Nevada as the only outpost of legalized gambling on U.S. soil.)

In the wake of this meeting, the resources of Resorts International were used (publicly and privately) to begin the lobbying campaign that resulted in the legalizing of gambling in Atlantic City and once the New Jersey legislature opened up the Garden State, Resorts moved in. In 1987 upon the death of longtime CIA front man James Crosby, the nominal head of Resorts International, up-and-coming young New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump stepped into the picture and bought Crosby’s interest in the gambling empire.

Trump soon became a household name, with his colorful personality and his insistence upon naming a variety of luxury hotels, apartment houses and other commercial ventures after himself. But while the name “Trump” appeared in the headlines, the names of the real movers behind Resorts International remained hidden from public view. There is no doubt, considering the origins of Resorts International, that Trump could not have assumed the management in this enterprise if he had not had the covert support of those who brought it into being.

Trump himself ultimately shed his role in Resorts International during the period of his much-publicized “bankruptcy” but he remains a major player on the financial scene and in the gambling industry. Thus, although Trump—a major character on the American scene— is evidently not of Jewish descent, he definitely owes much to the patronage of the Zionist elite. And this does say a great deal about the ways of power in America—the New Jerusalem.
