Not sure what exactly they mean when they say money laundering. Kind of like Rush was guilty of money laundering when he took out $9000 instead of $10000. But whatever they did, this is going to make the rift between US and Israel wider.

Are these the same guys who were giving Hillary tons of money during her first senate campaign? I don’t recall the details.

Five years ago I would've been shocked about this, now, I have so little faith in Governments, Judges, Politics & Religious Establishments that I just instantly assume their is probably a Religo-Political influence involved . . . somewhere.

Criminals, Terrorists, Paedophile Religious Leaders, Overnight Suicides of Politicians & Activists, Governments, Bank Bailouts, Faith & Evil are starting to mean nothing to me anymore, the fog that they all exist in protects the ones pulling the strings.

The World is becoming truly evil, and I pray to God every night to exert his wrath on the greedy people who are perpetuating these atrocities, whoever they are.

Everything is backwards; everything is upside down.
Doctors destroy health,
Lawyers destroy justice,
Universities destroy knowledge,
Governments destroy freedom,
The major media destroy information and,
Religions destroy spirituality.

>Haaretz: U.S. rabbis suspected of brokering sale of human kidneys

The article says
only one of the complaints
was about organs:

"One of the many criminal complaints filed in the case also accused a Brooklyn man, Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, with conspiring to broker the sale of a human kidney for a transplant, at a cost of $160,000 to the transplant recipient."

There seem to be quite a few of these “ultra-Orthodox” Jewish enclaves in the New York/New Jersey region in which the religion and its trappings are little more than covers for organized crime. Dressing in the anachronistic get-ups and making a big show of following an incomprehensible laundry list of weird rules and socializing only with their “own kind” is an effective way to keep prying eyes and ears at a safe distance. Meanwhile, when it comes to the actual substance of their lives, they casually toss some pretty big, normal rules overboard — like the “thou shalt not bear false witness” rule and the “thou shalt not steal” rule.

Setting up religious “charities” to launder money. People would donate $50,000 to the charity, in exchange for a pre-arranged refund in the form of a $45,000 donation to another charity or payment for fake service. Thus the $45,000 was laundered to look like it came from a legitimate charitable organization.

I'm sure this is all going to be included in a future edition of PBS's "The Jewish Experience in America" . . .

. . . along with the Bernie Madoff scandal, of course.

Scary, isn’t it?

We must try to keep the faith; believe that there are more good people than bad; stay close to those we love; and live each day well despite what is going on around us.

It seems to be the perfect “cover” for a large criminal enterprise.

Headline should read: 'Obama's Justice Department arrests hardened criminal Jews.'

NOT !

Everybody knows 0 hates the Jews and despises true Christians as well. Just like his religious mentor for over 20 years: Rev. Jeremiah Wright. This may have been a total set up. Fibbies do that money laundering scam really, really well.

According to my source these Orthodox Jewish Rabbis are well known for their upright conduct. If the Justice Department does not have these defendants on video bragging about how the money laundering works -- they will walk away free men.

Ignore the conduct of those who claim to be Jews but who do not follow HaShem, and ignore those who claim to be Christians but who do not follow Christ.

Beards and crosses can be maskirovka. And let us not forget the presumption of innocence.

May G-d protect the innocent and lead the guilty to repentence.

Considering July 22nd was the 1st of Jewish month of Av, the timing of the Justice Department/FBI (now Obama's 'Justice' department/FBI) in making this 'case' very public is not by accidental, in relation to the Orthodox.

We think of the unabashed greed & fraud perpetrated by the leftist-totalitarian elite, billions stolen in two tax-funded banker bailouts, involving both domestic and foreign bankers. While the Washington-leftist-elites and their non-profit-grant-industry siphons billions off the Dem's tax-stolen Federal 'stimulus' give-a-ways.

Obama's the politicization of the Federal 'justice' system is beyond appalling & exceedingly dangerous for the public. The massive levels of fraud perpetrated by the Obama Inc. continues begetting more even fraud. Are there any FBI,IRS investigations of the real fraud underway? Any Federal convictions? Any media coverage? Nope, and neither shall any be forth coming from the establishment media --- of their own kind.

In the midst of uncontrolled 'official' mega-fraud, trillions in debt as a nation, a bankrupt nation by design, yet presently stock indexes are continuing to climb bullishly, as if everything was a-okay, like before, prior to the market meltdown over the sub-prime banking debacle. Prepare for the second portion of the crash-in-stages. Put options in place -- again :)

It is scary, and I agree completely with your latter statement Palladin.
