Dave Gahhary: Big-Name Hollywood Producer Exposed as Covert Agent for Israel

A just released book confirms what US law enforcement had suspected for decades: A Jewish Hollywood film producer was "a full-fledged operative for Israel's top-secret intelligence agency", and used his many US based companies to smuggle sensitive nuclear technology from the United States to Israel. He was also the most likely source for Iran and Libya's uranium enrichment advances. According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the book, Confidential: The life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon - Arnon Milchan, recounts Milchan's life story, from his days as a boy through his friendships with Israeli prime ministers, US presidents and Hollywood stars. As far back as 1995, AFP correspondent Michael Collins Piper revealed that Milchan, who bankrolled Oliver Stone's film JFK was a key figure in Israel's nuclear weapons program that Kennedy eas determined to stop. The Milchan funded film ignores this conflict. Milchan produced other films, including Pretty Woman, War of the Roses, Fight Club, and Natural Born Killers. He also funds the Israeli Network, which broadcasts Israeli TV programming to the US and Canada. Milchan, a fanatical devotee of the Zionist state, and an Israeli citizen, set up shop in Tinseltown in the late 1970's, attaining a net worth of around $4 billion. Forbes magazine listed him as the world's 268th richest person! "Milchan's services to the Israeli security industry have been made public before," says Haaretz, "but he has always denied or refused to acknowledge them. This is the first time Milchan confirms these claims."
