Michael Chertoff, the nation's top domestic security official, is an Israeli national whose mother was a Mossad agent.  Chertoff is the key Zionist agent who has managed the "non-investigation" of 9-11, ordered the massive destruction of evidence, and censored the information that would expose the Israeli role in the crime of the century.

Christopher Bollyn, the author, has worked to solve the 9-11 crime
since the day of the attacks.

The Zionist Obstruction of Justice for 9-11 Victims

By Christopher Bollyn

Alvin K. Hellerstein is a devoted and practicing Talmudist and Zionist and his family belongs to and even heads organizations that practice and teach racial and religious discrimination on a daily basis.  Jewish law, as defined by the Talmud, discriminates between Jews and non-Jews.  (e.g. Gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has "exposed their money to Israel." - Baba Kamma 37b.)

Hellerstein is a member of The Jewish Center in New York, which teaches the Talmud and "considers Israel activism a core value." Israeli law, based on the Talmud, openly discriminates between Jews and non-Jews.  Naive Christians and Americans who are ignorant of these facts wrongly believe they are supporting a "democracy" in Israel.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Israel is a "Jews Only" democracy.  Non-Jews have virtually no rights under Israeli law.
 
The Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges applies to federal judges like Hellerstein. The following code is from Canon 2.  The second and third points apply directly to Judge Hellerstein's Talmudic beliefs and his long-standing family ties with Talmudic and Zionist causes -- and the State of Israel. 
   
CANON 2

A JUDGE SHOULD AVOID IMPROPRIETY AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IN ALL ACTIVITIES
    
    A.  A judge should respect and comply with the law and should act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.

    B.  A judge should not allow family, social, or other relationships to influence judicial conduct or judgment. A judge should not lend the prestige of the judicial office to advance the private interests of others; nor convey or permit others to convey the impression that they are in a special position to influence the judge. A judge should not testify voluntarily as a character witness.

    C.  A judge should not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or national origin.

Judge Alvin Hellerstein's actions are protecting a key defendant in the 9-11 tort litigation - the Israeli passenger-screening company involved at the airports on 9-11.  Hellerstein is a Talmudist who is devoted to the State of Israel, where his son lives on an illegal Zionist settlement - on the occupied West Bank.   To whom is Judge Hellerstein loyal and why is this blatant conflict of interest on the part of the Zionist judge ignored by the U.S. media?

UNDERSTANDING THE OBSTRUCTION OF THE 9-11 LITIGATION

In a litigious nation like America, given the official version of 9-11, one would expect that some of the relatives of the thousands of people killed on 9-11 would be able to get a "fair and open trial" in which the airlines and their passenger screening companies would be held accountable for their serious failures that day.  Seven years later, however, not one victim's lawsuit has gone to trial in the 9-11 tort litigation presided over by Alvin K. Hellerstein, a federal judge in New York City.  Understanding why the 9-11 litigation has been completely obstructed requires understanding the key people involved in the tortuous process to deny discovery and justice for the victims of 9-11.

FAIR AND OPEN TRIALS? 

The closed trial and sentence of 5 years for Osama bin Laden’s driver, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, by a military tribunal in Cuba was "a hollow victory in the war on terror," the New York Times opined in their Sunday editorial of August 10, 2008.   The Hamdan verdict reached through the closed process of the secretive military tribunal at Guantánamo was "a blow to America’s standards of justice and image in the world," the nation's most prestigious newspaper wrote:

The New York Times knows it is on safe ice with the position stated in this editorial.  Most Americans, indeed, most of the world would readily agree that any Guantánamo detainee charged of a crime should be tried in a real court, not before a Soviet-style military tribunal in which acquittals are ruled out beforehand.

"There are some evidently dangerous men in Guantánamo, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused of being the organizer of the Sept. 11 attacks," the Times wrote. "But it is hard to see a real trial ever taking place for Mr. Mohammed, who was subject to waterboarding and other abuse during interrogation," the editorial continued without explaining for the reader why the New York Times found it "hard to see a real trial ever taking place" for the confessed "mastermind of 9-11."

NOT ONE SINGLE TRIAL FOR VICTIMS OF 9-11

As we approach the seventh anniversary of 9-11, one might expect the New York Times to speak out as strongly on behalf of the victims and relatives of those lost on 9-11.  It should be remembered, after all, that not one of the 96 wrongful death lawsuits of 9-11 victims has come close to getting a "fair and open trial."  Nearly all of the wrongful death lawsuits have been settled secretly out of court through the special negotiator Sheila L. Birnbaum, a New York lawyer who specializes in insurance law and tort litigation at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (a.k.a. Skadden Arps), where she works with her senior partner, Kenneth J. Bialkin, age 79. 

It should be noted that Birnbaum's key role in trying to settle all the 9-11 lawsuits out of court is a well kept secret.  It is not discussed in the controlled media and is not even mentioned on her biographical webpage at Skadden Arps.  Why is Birnbaum's role as "special master" in the 9-11 litigation being kept out of the news?  Why is the Hellerstein-Birnbaum team's intense pressure to close the book on the 9-11 lawsuits - without giving the victims the jury trial they want - never discussed in the media?

TOUGH NEGOTIATOR

At the top of Skadden’s Complex Mass Tort and Insurance Group, Sheila L. Birnbaum has been nicknamed “The Queen of Torts.”

Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, a Mississippi lawyer, has gone head-to-head with Birnbaum over State Farm insurance coverage for policy holders whose houses were damaged in Hurricane Katrina.  Scruggs agreed that Birnbaum is a tough negotiator, but only smiled when asked to describe her tactics, according to the Sun Herald of Biloxi.

Jim Hood, Attorney General for the State of Mississippi, has worked with Scruggs in the negotiations for the victims of Katrina.  Hood was more forthcoming with the Sun Herald about Birnbaum's tactics. "She is mean," Hood said. "She would cuss. She beat Dickie Scruggs and them down to a nub."

"I'm a tough negotiator because that's my business."
- Sheila Birnbaum, "Special Master" of 9-11 Tort Litigation

The 9-11 settlements all come with gag orders preventing the plaintiffs from discussing their settlements.  In this way, all of the 9-11 lawsuits may soon be wrapped up behind closed doors -- without a single case ever going to trial. 

Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein has long pushed hard on the victims' lawyers to negotiate with Birnbaum and settle the cases.  Unfortunately, this is not widely known because the controlled press completely avoids reporting about the tortuous 9-11 tort litigation, most of which is actually carried out behind closed doors. 

The New York Times, for example, has only mentioned the "special mediator" Sheila Birnbaum once in connection with the 9-11 litigation and that was before she became the "special master" responsible for settling the remaining cases.  The Boston Globe has mentioned Birnbaum's key role only once, in an article from August 2006 that gives some idea of the pressure Hellerstein has used to push the plaintiffs' lawyers to close the book on the 9-11 tort litigation – without going to trial:

Hellerstein's hard-ball tactics and pressure has resulted in 91 of the original 96 wrongful death cases being settled - out of court.  Only 5 wrongful death cases remain from the thousands of people who were killed on 9-11.  These 96 cases represent the families who sought answers and justice for the loss of their loved ones through the U.S. court system. 

These are the 9-11 victims' families who did not want to accept "blood money," a one-time government payment for their loss, negotiated by the previous "special master" Kenneth Feinberg, who doled out money from the taxpayer-funded 7 billion dollar September 11 Victim Compensation Fund.  Acceptance of money from the fund effectively silenced thousands of people, who could have sued for millions, and got the real criminals of 9-11 largely off the hook.

"It's a shut-up fund," said Ellen Mariani, who lost her husband, Neil, on United Airlines Flight 175.  Mariani refused to accept money from the compensation fund and was the first 9-11 relative to file a lawsuit for the wrongful death of a loved one.

Mariani wants answers, and believed a lawsuit was the only way to get them.  She has been through a series of lawyers and an unbelievably difficult and tortuous process.

"I want to know everything," Mariani said.  In particular she wants to know how the five terrorists got aboard United Flight 175.  This is the key question about 9-11 that goes straight to the culpability of Israeli-owned Huntleigh USA, which handled passenger screening and pre-flight security at Boston's Logan Airport and other airports involved on 9-11. 

But why is Huntleigh USA, an Israeli-owned passenger screening company being protected by Judge Hellerstein?  Why are the convicted Israeli criminals like Menachem Atzmon, a political crony of Ehud Olmert, and the corrupt intelligence officers who own Huntleigh not made to show exactly what they did to protect the passengers on 9-11 and how the Arab hijackers got onto the planes - if indeed they did.  Where are the companies video tapes that show the alleged hijackers boarding the planes at Boston and the other airports?  Why are Israeli criminals being protected in an American court?  To whom is Judge Hellerstein really loyal?

Ellen Mariani was blocked in her attempt to "know everything" about 9-11 and to hold the guilty accountable in a court by the highly unusual position taken by the head of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA) the day after the terror attacks.

Within two days after 9-11, Leo V. Boyle, the president of ATLA, had sent an email message to every one of the 60,000 trial lawyers belonging to ATLA urging them to maintain "a moratorium on civil lawsuits that might arise out of these awful events."

For the first time in ATLA's history, the head of the trial lawyers' organization was urging its members and the victims of a disaster not to sue.  This was highly unusual for ATLA and for Boyle, a lawyer who had won millions of dollars for his clients through jury trials.

"The association [ATLA] opposes the use of any legal tactics that diminish the right to trial by jury or equal access to courts," Boyle had written in the Arizona Republic -- only two days before 9-11. 

Leo V. Boyle, head of ATLA, urged trial lawyers
not to sue on behalf of 9-11 victims.

Yet two days after 9-11, Boyle was taking action to urge ATLA members not to file lawsuits on behalf of the relatives of the thousands of victims who had died in the terror attacks!  Boyle's unusual action is clearly contrary to his position that ATLA "opposes the use of any legal tactics that diminish the right to trial by jury or equal access to courts."

Boyle's position as head of ATLA was that the families of the victims of 9-11 should forgo jury trials and accept the "blood money" payout from the government compensation fund.

Many of Motley's clients say they sued not for financial gain, but because they believed litigation would reveal whether government and aviation officials could have anticipated and prevented the events of Sept. 11.

"We did not join this lawsuit or choose to sue for monetary reward," said Carie Lemack, whose mother, Judy Larocque of Framingham, Mass., died on Flight 11, which originated in Boston.  The Israeli passenger screening company managed security at Boston's Logan Airport on 9-11.  "It was always about accountability and it remains about accountability today, because reforms that are desperately needed are not happening," Lemack told the Boston Globe:

Hellerstein is remembered for saying that money was the "universal lubricant" for grieving 9-11 relatives:

"Money is the universal lubricant," Hellerstein said during a pre-trial conference on June 25, 2007.  Hellerstein urged the lawyers and the remaining families to take the "most efficient" way, meaning settle for the money and "get on" with their lives:

It is very crass and it probably will come back to be critical of me, but there is an expression that is sometimes very useful, "Money is the universal lubricant." It makes it easier to go on with one's life.

Out of the mundane, you can fashion something that makes a great deal of sense. We are coming on six years from the terrible event of September 11th, 2001. The public life is 4 score and 10, if it is correct. There is a great value in living out those years that God has allotted to each of us in a way that is most productive for the individual and for society.

What happened on September 11th, 2001 is now a memory with different degrees of pain for different people, for some degree of pain for each and every American and perhaps beyond the United States of America. Each of us has a choice either to never forget that pain and have it ever present in our lives or to fashion a life beyond the pain. If one looks at the issue in that way -- and I suggest that it is the only way to look at it -- the question then becomes what's the fairest, the most efficient, what is the best way to get on with the rest of our lives. 

HELLERSTEIN'S ISRAELI TIES

Judge Hellerstein, who is urging the 9-11 relatives to "take the money" and "get on" with their lives, happens to be a very dedicated supporter of Israel.  This devotee of Zion is the sole judge managing the historic 9-11 litigation in which one of the key defendants, International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS), is an Israeli company tied to Israeli military intelligence. 

ICTS owns Huntleigh USA, the passenger screening company that allegedly allowed the 19 hijackers to board the planes on the morning of 9-11. (There are, of course, questions of whether these Arab hijackers were even on the planes.)  The mainstream media has consistently ignored Hellerstein's ties to Israel, but because of the importance of the 9-11 litigation, these connections simply cannot be ignored.

Hellerstein's son, Joseph Z. Hellerstein, lives on a street called Yosef (No. 18) in Buchman, the "nicest part" of the newly-built and exclusively Jewish (100 percent) ghetto fortress of Modi'in, an illegal settlement built on Palestinian land.  The younger Hellerstein, a Hebrew-speaking lawyer, moved to Israel in 2001 with his wife and children.

Modi'in is a new settlement block built on the West Bank. 
The Jews that live in this ghetto fortress see themselves as the new Maccabees. 
Judge Alvin Hellerstein's son is one of them.

Joe Hellerstein works for the Tel Aviv law firm of Amit, Pollak, Matalon & Co. (APM).  Modi'in is an orthodox religious community where "Joey" Hellerstein is an ardent student of the racist and anti-Christian Talmud.  He even writes about his Talmud study for the local newspaper, ModiInfo, which his wife, Daniella, happens to edit.

Joseph Z. Hellerstein (with kippa),
the son of Alvin K. Hellerstein, is a Talmudic scholar
who has lived in Israel on a Zionist settlement since 2001.

Prior to becoming a federal judge in the Southern District New York, Alvin K. Hellerstein was a partner in the Zionist law firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, where he worked for nearly 3 decades, from 1969 to 1998.  President Bill Clinton appointed Hellerstein to the federal bench in 1998. 

(Clinton's key Zionist handler and senior advisor was Rahm Emanuel, an Israeli from Chicago whose father is a retired Irgun terrorist.  Emanuel was senior advisor in the Clinton White House from 1993 to 1998.  Emanuel joined Bill Clinton's presidential primary campaign in 1991 where he served as Clinton's chief fund-raiser as director of finance.  It is very likely that Emanuel played a key role in the Hellerstein appointment.)
 
Alan M. Stroock, with whom Hellerstein worked for 16 years, was president of the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), where Michael Chertoff's grandfather, Paul, studied and worked as a "professor" of Talmud after becoming an orthodox rabbi at the JTS in 1911.  Stroock's father, Sol, had previously been the chairman of the board of regents of the JTS.  Alan Stroock was president of the JTS corporation when Chertoff's Talmud-teaching grandfather died in 1966.

Is it merely a coincidence that the key federal officials involved in the cover up of the truth of 9-11, Michael Chertoff and Alvin K. Hellerstein, are both linked to the Talmudic institution called the Jewish Theological Seminary?

Michael Chertoff is Israel's point man in the 9-11 cover-up and works hand-in-hand with Judge Hellerstein to block discovery that would expose the Israeli role in the false-flag terror attacks.  He supervised the FBI's "non-investigation" of 9-11 as Asst. Attorney General in 2001-2002, before becoming secretary of Dept. of Homeland Security, where he continues to prevent discovery through his control over the release of information (SSI).

DENYING JUSTICE, CASE BY CASE 

There are only 5 wrongful death cases remaining of the original 96.  These 96 cases represent the families who sought justice (and answers) for the loss of their loved ones through the U.S. court system.  These are the 9-11 victims who did not want to accept a one-time government payment for their loss, negotiated by the previous "special master" Kenneth Feinberg, who doled out money from the taxpayer-funded 7 billion dollar September 11 Victim Compensation Fund.

Kenneth Feinberg was the "Special Master"
of the 7 billion dollar 9-11 Victim Compensation Fund

Hellerstein, who oversees all 9-11 litigation, holds the position that the public doesn't need to know how the 9-11 victims are being silenced with "blood money" in a legal war of attrition in which the first casualty was the truth of what happened on 9-11.

I called Sheila Birnbaum, the "special master" of the 9-11 litigation, at her office at Skadden Arps on September 2 and asked her how many of the original 96 cases remained to be settled or tried.  Birnbaum said there were only 5 wrongful death cases remaining.  Asked if it is possible that all the 9-11 cases could be settled without a single case going to trial, Birnbaum said, "It's possible."

I then asked Birnbaum if she thought it was "acceptable" for the book to be closed on the 9-11 victim mass tort litigation without a single case going to trial while the "terror suspects" and "mastermind of 9-11" were being tried in a Soviet-style military gulag in Cuba without ever being brought to court in the United States.

"I will say, like Obama said, that that decision is above my pay level," Birnbaum said.  It should be noted that Birnbaum has long been one of the highest paid corporate lawyers in the United States.  Forbes magazine reported in May 2001, that Birnbaum, whose practice primarily involves defending large corporations against consumer tort claims, had earned 3.8 million dollars by early 2001.

Birnbaum said she has been involved in settling all of the cases since she became "special master."  Asked why the names of the plaintiffs were being kept secret, she said it was out of respect for the privacy of the families.

BIALKIN - CHIEF ELDER OF ZION

Who is Kenneth J. Bialkin, Birnbaum's partner at Skadden Arps?

Kenneth Bialkin, former chairman of B'nai B'rith
and director of Israeli software companies.

He is one of the key Zionist leaders in the United States.  He is or has been the chairman of the America-Israel Friendship League, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the American Jewish Historical Society, and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.  Bialkin is also the U.S. Chairman of the Jerusalem Foundation, a Zionist organization founded by Theodore Kollek, the weapons smuggler who later became mayor of occupied Jerusalem.

BIALKIN - CHAIRMAN OF B'NAI B'RITH 

These are just some of the positions Bialkin has held to further Zionist efforts.  Not all of his positions are included in his Skadden or Who's Who biographical details.  His most influential position, for example, is not even mentioned. 

When I say that Bialkin is a "key Zionist leader," I do mean key.  Bialkin was no less than the head of the very powerful and secretive organization of Jewish Zionist Freemasons, the International Order of B'nai B'rith.  In 1979, the Chicago Tribune reported that Bialkin was the Chairman of the National Executive Committee of B'nai B'rith, which it noted had some 500,000 members at the time.  

Most likely, Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein is also a high-level member of B'nai B'rith, as, I expect, are Kenneth Feinberg, Michael Mukasey, and Michael Chertoff.  (Being an exclusive and highly secretive order of Freemasonry, closed to all non-Jews, it is difficult to say who belongs to this group of Jewish conspirators living in our midst, but it is safe to say that the American Jewish Zionists mentioned above are probably members in good standing of the International Order of B'nai B'rith.  The Sulzberger family, for example, the owners of the New York Times, has had several members in the highest positions of Lodge No. 1 in New York City.)

The Tribune article, entitled "Stop pressuring Israel, B'nai B'rith tells Carter," reported that Bialkin had sent a "strongly worded message to President Carter criticizing recent United States policy in the Middle East."

The "strongly worded message" was sent directly to the President.  "It's directed principally at him since he is the architect of United States policy," Bialkin said.  This is an example of organized Jewish pressure on our elected leaders.

Bialkin is or has been director of several Israeli software companies, notably Technomatic Technologies Ltd., OSHAP, and Sapiens International Corp.NV (based in the Netherlands Antilles).  He has also represented Maurice Greenberg of AIG.  He is also head of the Israeli business at Skadden Arps, which is quite substantial.

I made a large chart to diagram the personal and corporate connections while doing research for the latest chapter of Solving 9-11, "The Architecture of Terror: Mapping the Israeli Network Behind 9-11."  Kenneth J. Bialkin's name is at the top of this diagram with other senior Zionist gangsters like Henry Kissinger and Maurice Greenberg. 

Bialkin is tied to all of the key players in the Israeli network behind 9-11.  He is on the board of the Citizens Budget Committee of New York, for example, where Larry Silverstein and Stephen Berger also sit.  But far more telling about his role in 9-11 is his crucial role as the lawyer for the Israeli military intelligence companies, such as Amdocs, NICE, and Scitex, who are all discussed in the latest chapter about the Israeli network behind 9-11. 

Bialkin is also the President and Chairman of the Board of the America-Israel Friendship League, the organization which connects the highest level of Israeli military intelligence with the Jewish Zionist leadership in the United States.  Put simply, Bialkin is the chief of the Zionist criminal gang in the United States.

Kenneth Bialkin with Benjamin Netanyahu,
the leader of the extreme right-wing Likud party,in Israel, February 2007

Bialkin and his partner Birnbaum, and Alvin K. Hellerstein, the federal judge who presides over all 9-11 litigation, are all extremely devoted Zionists, i.e. they are dedicated to the State of Israel.  It should be remembered that one of the key defendants in the 9-11 litigation, Huntleigh USA, the passenger screening and airline security firm, is a company wholly owned by an Israeli company run by senior members of Israeli intelligence.  Why is this serious conflict of interest issue in the tort litigation related to the crime of the century not discussed in the mass media?

This is the real reason we will not see a "fair and open trial" for the victims of 9-11 seeking justice through the courts.  It's the same reason the Soviet-style "trials" in Cuba are being carried out behind closed doors.  It's a national disgrace that justice for the victims of 9-11 has been hijacked by high-level Zionists who are devoted to Israel and consider defending "the Jewish State" to be their sacred duty – above serving the cause of justice.
