Biden's new Secretary of State and his well-connected stepfather

US President-elect Joe Biden is set to confirm his long-time aide Tony Blinken as the new Secretary of State. Blinken will take office in January 2021 at the helm of US foreign policy and will be the third Jewish holder of this office, after Henry Kissinger (1973-77) and Madeleine Albright (1997-2001),

Mrs Albright famously claimed that she hadn't known she was Jewish until the Washington Post reported it, shortly after she took over as Bill Clinton's second Secretary of State.

By contrast Tony Blinken will never have been in any doubt about his kosher heritage. His father Donald Blinken was a founding partner in the very Jewish investment bank Warburg Pincus, but his stepfather is even more interesting for readers of this blog.

Tony Blinken's stepfather was Samuel Pisar, one of the founding high priests of Holocaustianity. the cult that has taken the place of normal historical research and logical argument where one particular corner of history is concerned.

Pisar miraculously survived a whole series of wartime camps including the alleged 'death camps' Majdanek and Auschwitz, before escaping from a "death march" at the end of the war. He eventually contributed to the endless literature of 'survivor memoirs' with a book whose French title translates as "The Blood of Hope" – perhaps a nod to the original sacrificial meaning of the word 'Holocaust'.

These canny survival skills didn't desert Pisar during a long postwar career as attorney for some of the shadiest characters in World Zionism.

Though the fact was magically removed from his Times obituary, Samuel Pisar was lifelong confidant and legal adviser to Robert Maxwell, a monstrous crook who stole from his own employees' pension funds, struck dodgy trade deals with the Soviet bloc, and betrayed Israeli nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu – kidnapped by Mossad and returned to jail in Israel.

Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell before his still mysterious death in 1991.

Other long-term Pisar clients included Soviet agent and Zionist billionaire Armand Hammer, and the ruthless corporate raider Sir James Goldsmith.

But perhaps the most interesting was Bruce Rappaport, a crooked international banker with close ties to Israeli intelligence. During the mid-1980s Samuel Pisar helped Rappaport fix a US guarantee for an Iraqi pipeline – effectively an insurance guarantee that Israel would not attack the pipeline, and that if it did, the costs would be covered.

In return for this guarantee, Rappaport's front companies got Iraqi oil at a hefty discount, and the lawyer Pisar approached to fix things – a close associate of President Reagan's Attorney General Ed Meese – received a fat commission.

After all the election hype settles down, there will be a new President in January, but with Samuel Pisar's stepson in charge of the State Department, we can be sure that the Washington-Jerusalem axis will remain unchanging as ever.
