This post made me think of the lone gunmen pilot episode and saw this on the lone gunmen wiki under Pre 9/11 controversy:

The Lone Gunmen Wiki posted:

The Lone Gunmen was produced by Arnon Milchan, a dual citizen Israeli-American Mossad agent. Milchan also produced The Medusa Touch (1976), which had as its climactic scene an airline flying to a skyscraper. He also produced Fight Club (1999), which had as its final scene the controlled demolition of multiple financial corporation skyscraper. Yet this Wikipedia does not mention this. Coincidence?

Yeah because obviously if somebody is going to plan a terrorist attack they make sure they produce a bunch of scenes for publicly released movies that reflect their plans as a little wink to all the conspiracy theorists out there. What else would they do with their time??
That is odd that those movies are not on the wiki. Interesting cover on the medusa touch:



The wiki says this about him:

Wikipedia posted:

Intelligence career

Speculation about Milchan's involvement in arms dealing and intelligence activities was sparked after the indictment in 1985 of Dr. Richard Kelly Smyth, an aerospace executive and scientist who had made illegal shipments of Krytrons, which could be used as nuclear weapon triggers, through one of Milchan's companies. This remained largely in the category of rumor until biographers Meir Doron and Joseph Gelman wrote a controversial unauthorized biography of Milchan that was published in July 2011. The biography Confidential, which is largely sympathetic to Milchan, revealed in detail how he involved himself in espionage, big-ticket arms-dealing, and obtaining sensitive technology and materials for Israel's nuclear weapons program. The research in Confidential – The Life Of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon established that "at least through the mid-1980s [Milchan] was a full-fledged operative for Israel's top-secret intelligence agency, Lekem. His activities included "buying components to build and maintain Israel's nuclear arsenal" and supervising "government-backed accounts and front companies that financed the special needs of the entirety of Israel's intelligence operations outside the country".[2] Interviewed regarding Milchan's intelligence activities, Israeli President Shimon Peres stated:

"Arnon is a special man. It was I who recruited him.... When I was at the Ministry of Defense, Arnon was involved in numerous defense-related procurement activities and intelligence operations. His strength is in making connections at the highest levels.... His activities gave us a huge advantage, strategically, diplomatically and technologically." (interview dated February 8, 2010, documented in Meir Doron and Joseph Gelman's "Confidential: Secret Agent turned Hollywood Tycoon Arnon Milchan" p. xi).

Two years later, on November 25, 2013, on Israel's channel 2 documentary program Uvda [he], Milchan confirmed on camera the central claims in the book Confidential that had been released earlier. The announcement caused international interest in the story and was covered widely.[14]

Peres, the architect of Israel's secret nuclear weapons program in the 1960s, stated that in the 1960s he recruited Milchan to work for the Israeli Bureau of Scientific Relations (LEKEM or LAKAM), a secret intelligence organization tasked with obtaining military technology and science espionage. Milchan acknowledged that he was a secret arms dealer for the Israeli government and claimed to have used his connections to promote the apartheid regime in South Africa in exchange for it helping Israel to acquire uranium for its nuclear program.[15]

Wikipedia posted:

Art collecting

Milchan is an art collector, and in April 2015, CNBC ranked him at No. 3 in their list of "Hollywood's top 10 art collectors" with a collection valued at $600 million, equal with George Lucas, ranked No. 2, but some way behind David Geffen at No. 1, with a collection valued at $2.3 billion.[21]

Interesting they use his claim, because he was caught lying about his involvement with South Africa. He makes it seem like South Africa was helping Israel with their nuclear program but it was the other way round. He had a front company importing nuclear triggers from the US to Israel, which he then sold directly to one of SAs ministers. He was also implicated in as the mover and fixer for a SA scheme to fund pro-SA propaganda and interfere in US politics. He was implicated as having set up the bank accounts in Europe for the SA bribe funds, and a scheme to ruin the re-election of 2 US senators who opposed US involvement in the Angolan war.

Possibly because some anti-American non-Patriots lately are suggesting that the FBI took a gaggle of flabby chuds and manufactured a failed coup of the most powerful nation on earth,

this has the feeling of an internal power struggle with one side using Jan 6 poo poo to score internal points. nothing will change, obviously, but it wouldn't surprise me if some bigger heads rolled, if for no other reason than it was a media disaster to have a bunch of dipshits wandering the capitol looking like the dog that caught the car. they're supposed to shut that poo poo down before a bunch of politicians poop themselves in the very heart of our political machine.

Continually gobsmacked at the idea of apartheid era South Africa having at least six nukes :psyduck: just a completely backwards nation in every sense of the word

finding out that stuff was his whole job of course but usually it's way nastier. you take what you can get, i guess. it speaks to desperation; juicy new blackmail material must have been thin on the ground for him at that point.

that has to be a planted story right? gates probably had the affair but that epstein blackmailed him with that is just a lie to make it seem like they weren't friendly
