Israeli-U.S. Crime Ring Cracked
Israeli authorities have busted a tax fraud scheme that is accused of swindling tens of millions of dollars from U.S. tax agencies, the New York Times reports. Nine men stand accused of filing "fraudulent requests for tax refunds in the name of prisoners in federal penitentiaries, without the prisoners’ knowledge." The alleged ring leader is Rabbi Marvin Berkowitz, of Chicago. In 2003, the shady holy man fled the U.S. after being convicted of another plan involving tax fraud. The team that uncovered the ring was composed of both Israeli and U.S. authorities who apparently had a sense of humor: the name of their operation was "American Pie."

Bye, Bye to American Pie LOL We've been funding Israeli interests, Islamic interests and all the drug interests of the world and the corporate loopholes! We are bleeding money at a rate that would kill a human patient! Medicare and Medicaid fraud is right up there as well! Before we raise taxes how about we shore up the leaks!

Another Rabbis!? First the fake t.v. evangelical preachers, then the Catholic priests, now the Rabbis. What's going on with the men of religion? We were counting on the Rabbis to be the last line of defense but they are falling down on the job.

Religion without spirituality is not doing our "men" of the cloth any justice is it? It's like a quickening is making them all crazy. I think it is felt all over. Seems our politicians are feeling the same thing. I feel like we are in the eye of the storm. Difference is I know that the destruction is on a personal/human level and not physical.
Thank you.
