Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: When Comedian Don Rickles ‘Joked’ That Ronald Reagan Wouldn’t Be Governor If The Jews Didn’t Approve Of Him (Moldea.com) In 1973, Dean Martin hosted a televised celebrity roast featuring then-governor Ronald Reagan as the guest of honor. Jewish comedian Ron Rickles — who was another protégé of Jewish gangster Mickey Cohen and close friend of both Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin — was invited to roast Reagan even though Rickles at that time had never actually met Reagan. Early in his routine, Rickles ‘joked’ as he pointed to Reagan next to him, “He wouldn’t be governor if my people didn’t go, okay!“ This joke was funny because everyone in Hollywood knew that Ronald Reagan’s political career was the creation of Lew Wasserman, the Jewish kingmaker and head of MCA who had deep ties to the organized crime. Most notably, Wasserman’s meteoric rise to power had received the blessing of Sidney Korshak, the perhaps the most powerful Jew in America at the time — and the subject of Gus Russo’s essential book, Supermob. No doubt many in the audience that night in 1973 when Rickles roasted Reagan had read Henry Denker’s popular 1972 roman a clef — The Kingmaker, which was a thinly veiled “fictionalized” account of the relationship between Reagan and Wasserman. Reagan is “Jeff Jefferson” a has-been former movie actor catapulted into the California governorship with the help of “Dr. Irving Cone,” the head of the mob-connected talent booking agency, Talent Corporation of America (TCA). According to author Michael Collins Piper, during the “Red Scare” and the House Un-American Activities Committee investigation of Hollywood, Lew Wasserman “asked” Ronald Reagan, who was president of the Screen Actors Guild and committed Leftist, to go on a public relations national lecture tour in order to convince average Americans that Hollywood had responsibly removed the subversive, communist elements — which obviously never happened. This tour helped Wasserman clean up Hollywood’s public image and re-invent the liberal Reagan as a conservative — and groom him for his future political career. Organized crime writer, Dan Moldea, explains the intimate relationship between the powerful Lew Wasserman and the B-list actor, Ronald Reagan: Ronald Reagan was an invention of the Hollywood conglomerate, MCA, which was founded in 1924 by Jules Stein, a Chicago ophthalmologist who quickly became friendly with the local underworld. Every facet of Reagan’s life, from his careers in acting and politics to his financial successes, were directed by MCA, which, with the help of the Mafia, was the most powerful force in Hollywood from the mid-1940s until the Bronfman family purchased the company in 1995. Reagan came to Los Angeles in 1937 to make motion pictures, and, in 1940, MCA bought out his talent agency. Lew Wasserman became Reagan’s personal agent; he negotiated a million-dollar contract with Warner Brothers on Reagan’s behalf. In 1946, Wasserman became the president of MCA, and the following year, Reagan, with his film career already in decline, became the president of the Screen Actors Guild. By his own admission, Reagan immediately aligned himself with the corrupt Teamsters and other mob-connected unions in an effort to combat Hollywood Reds. A sweetheart relationship developed between MCA and the guild, which culminated in July 1952 during Reagan’s fifth consecutive term as SAG’s president. Reagan and Laurence Beilenson, an attorney for MCA who had previously served as SAG’s general counsel and had represented Reagan in his 1949 divorce from Jane Wyman, negotiated an exclusive blanket waiver with SAG that permitted MCA to engage in unlimited film production. The agreement violated SAG’s bylaws, which prohibited talent agencies from employing their own clients, and no other talent agency was granted a similar agreement at that time. A Justice Department memorandum indicated that the waiver became “the central fact of MCA’s whole rise to power.” At the end of Reagan’s fifth term, he began to have serious financial problems, particularly with the IRS. In response, MCA negotiated a deal with the Last Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas — which was then operated by Chicago mobsters — for Reagan to host a song-and-dance show for two weeks and to receive enough money to cover his back tax debt. When Reagan returned to Hollywood, MCA, through its newly formed Revue Productions, hired him to host its flagship television program, The General Electric Theater for $125,000 a year. He was paid additional fees when he produced episodes for the series. Despite his status as a television producer, Reagan remained on SAG’s board in another violation of the guild’s bylaws, which prohibited producers from holding office in SAG. In 1959, when Reagan ran for an unprecedented sixth term as SAG’s president, his opponents raised the bylaws issue. Publicly, Reagan denied that he had ever produced The General Electric Theater — a flat-out lie. Wasserman had encouraged Reagan to run again. MCA was facing sensitive negotiations with SAG over residual motion picture rights for actors. The issue eventually forced SAG to strike in 1960, and Reagan became the actors’ chief negotiator. Labor attorney Sidney Korshak aided Reagan and the studios in the final settlement. Years later, The New York Times characterized Korshak as the link between the legitimate business world and organized crime...... =-=-=-=-=-=-= I noticed this strange remark by Rickles a couple years ago while reviewing some of the old, mostly depraved celebrity roasts in YT. Of course such a blatant proclamation of kike supremacy was rare back then, and the audience's giddy acceptance of it an equal shock, but I had no idea till now how much rotten history there was behind it in Reagan's career. That's where Christians For Truth Dot Com comes in! How about that 1986 book title -- Dark Victory: Ronald Reagan, MCA, and the Mob! Covers of Moldea's others: Wasserman and became infamous in 1988 as studio chiefs responsible for the Last Temptation of Christ flick. Guided by Don Wildmon's AFA Journal many of us made protest calls to Universal -- I was told the two gentlemen were in a meeting.

He is right, no one gets elected in the US of A for Governor, US House or Senate, without the jews permission.

Rickles said Reagan didn't get elected "unless my people say 'okay'" -- a deliberately moronized way of saying "just don't forget who runs everything including you -- us jews!" He also admitted therebly that who "his" people were -- not ameriKans, not even Dummacrats. The Chosen. I see my last paragraff above is missing an important word -- 'Sheinberg', another good Irish boy.
