12-09-05 Israeli Bank HaPoalim established Israel as a US provice...


Bank HaPoalim was founded in the 1920s as a cooperative bank, well before the founding of the State of Israel.  It was instrumental in building the economy of then Palestine/Israel. 
In the late 20th century it was privatized.  Since then, it managed to collapse once, and be bailed out by the Israeli government, only to be privatized again.  And in recent years it was plagued by various criminal investigations of top management.
The email note, dated September 5, 2012, by Bank HaPoalim (in Hebrew), copied below, again reiterates the conduct by Bank HaPoalim – attempt to extort compliance the Bank's fabricated version of the  law of the United States in the State of Israel.  It demands the filing of United States IRS forms by clients, who hold US citizenship, but refuses to provide records of annual interest gained (also required by United States IRS Regulation)
The conduct, documented in the Complaint and Addendum, filed with Bank of Israel-Banking Regulation (linked below), should raise serious concerns regarding integrity and stability of operations in Bank HaPoalim.
It remains to be seen how the Bank of Israel, Israel's banking regulator will handle this matter.

RE: Ongoing Extortionist conduct by Bank HaPoalim

I am in receipt of the message by Bank HaPoalim, dated September 5, 2012, copied below.

1) Complaint filed with Bank of Israel against Bank HaPoalim, alleging extortion

There is no basis in the law of the State of Israel  for Bank HaPoalim's demands, reiterated in Bank HaPoalim's message, copied below. The claims by Bank HaPoalim in the message below are pure fabrication.
The matter, is currently the subject of a Complaint, filed with Bank of Israel-Banking Regulation against Bank HaPoalim.  The complaint claims that such conduct amounts to extortion by a banking institution against a client - a serious crime.
Bank of Israel informed me that Bank HaPoalim was required to respond on the Complaint to Bank of Israel  within 21 days. Moreover, Bank of Israel informed me that a Commission was appointed to investigate the matter.
I will wait for the response by Bank HaPoalim to Bank of Israel on the Complaint, and for the determination on the Complaint by Bank of Israel-Banking Regulatin.

2) Addendum to Complaint, filed with Bank of Israel-Banking Regulation, and Demand, filed with Bank HaPoalim, for a clear written statement regarding interest gained in my accounts in 2011.
Separately, I filed last night a demand with Bank HaPoalim to provide me a clear written statement of the total interest gained in my accounts in 2011.  The same letter was also filed with Bank of Israel as an Addendum to the Complaint, referenced above. 
The basis for the Addendum is the refusal of Bank HaPoalim to provide me such statement. The Addendum claims that the refusal to provide such statement is a serious violation of Banking Regulation, as a separate issue for the alleged extortion, noted in the Complaint.

I hope that by the time I return to Israel, around the end of September-early October, this matter will be sorted out by Bank of Israel-Banking Regulation.

Truly,

Joseph Zernik, PhD

Manmohan Ineffectual, Presides Over Corrupt Government: U.S. Daily


Wednesday, 05 September 2012, 00:37 Hrs   
 
Washington: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been described as "a dithering, ineffectual bureaucrat presiding over a deeply corrupt government" by a leading U.S. daily that said his reputation was damaged by the "accusation that he looked the other way and remained silent as his cabinet colleagues filled their own pockets".

In an article "India's 'silent' prime minister becomes a tragic figure", the Washington Post said that Manmohan Singh helped set India on the path to modernity, prosperity and power, but critics say the soft-spoken 79-year-old is in "danger of going down in history as a failure".

"The architect of India's economic reforms, Singh was a major force behind his country's rapprochement with the United States and is a respected figure on the world stage.

"But the image of the scrupulously honourable, humble and intellectual technocrat has slowly given way to a completely different one: a dithering, ineffectual bureaucrat presiding over a deeply corrupt government," it said.

The daily said that for the past two weeks, everyday the Indian parliament has been adjourned as the opposition demands Singh's resignation over allegations of waste and corruption in the allocation of coal-mining concessions.

"The story of Singh's dramatic fall from grace in his second term in office and the slow but steady tarnishing of his reputation has played out in parallel with his country's decline on his watch.

"As India's economy has slowed and as its reputation for rampant corruption has reasserted itself, the idea that the country was on an inexorable road to becoming a global power has increasingly come into question," said the daily.

12-09-05 Large-scale fraud in the computers of the Israeli and US courts - LiveLeak posting and readers' comments



Large-scale fraud in the computers of Israeli courts - published in a peer-reviewed international scholarly journal

Supreme Court of the State of Israel

Barcelona, September 4 - large scale fraud in the electronic record systems of the courts of the State of Israel is detailed in a paper, peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in a scholarly computer science journal. [1]

Following is the abstract of the paper:

Integrity, or Lack Thereof, of the Electronic Record Systems of the Courts of the State of Israel
Joseph Zernik
Human Rights Alert (NGO)

e-mail: 123456xtz@gmail.com
Abstract— The Human Rights Alert (NGO) submission for the Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights in the State of Israel, filed in May 2012, is probably a first – being narrowly focused on analysis of integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic record systems of the courts of the State of Israel, and being primarily based on data mining of this unique target area. Supreme Court: On or about March 2002, integrity of the electronic records was seriously compromised. Numerous fraudulent decision records were discovered. District Courts: The publicly accessible records were found invalid, primarily for failure to display visible, reliable digital signatures of judges and authentication records by clerks. Detainees Courts: The insecure, unsigned decisions of the detainees courts, often created long time after the dates of the hearings, could not possibly be considered valid legal records. The detainees ID numbers show suspicious discontinuities and failure to correlate with time of issuance, which should raise concerns regarding establishment of ”black hole” prisons and ”field courts”. This study is a call for action by computing experts in general, and data mining experts in particular, in the safeguard of Human Rights and integrity of governments in the Digital Era.

  • You post an article that claims you posted an article? I doubt it's "peer reviewed" as your peers are pretty much drugged or sitting in the corner drooling.
    Is anyone but you claiming that any of these court records are wrong - or just (in your view) not 'officially' certified?

      You failed to read the article, obviously:
      1) The Deputy presiding judge of the Tel Aviv District Court, Vardah AlSheikah, was caught falsifying her own court's records. The Israeli Bar Association repeatedly filed requests for her removal from the bench. So far, both the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Inspector General of the Judiciary (obviously - both judges), refuse to take any significant action against her.
      2) Haaretz daily published a report regarding falsificat of judicial records in the Detainees' Courts. The published response by the Spokesman of the Ministry of Justice of the State of Isreal was "A tempest in a Teapot".

      The peers in this case are four anonymous international computer science professors. Not likely to be I am sure that they are all "drugged or sitting in the corner drooling".
      Under anonymous peer-review, an accompanying paper detailed similar fraud in the electronic records of the United States courts.
      It should be noted that US based legal and computer scholars, when openly asked to opine on this matter, all without exception refused to opine. For example, Martha Minow, Dean of the Harvard Law School responded that as Dean of Harvard Law School she is prohibited from opining on such matters...
      The large-scale fraud in the Israeli courts appear as a merely a copy of large-scale fraud, implemented in the computers of the United States courts a decade or two earlier.

      As noted above, fraud in the electronic records of the courts of the State of Israel was reported and rebuked by others over the past year as well. The novelty in my report, is that it is based on inspection of the system as a whole, not of individual cases. The significance of the findings relative to the electronic records of the Israeli courts (and likewise of the US courts), is that it provides evidence that it is NOT sporadic judicial corruption, but systemic racketeering by the judges. They implemented such systems both in Israel and the United States with no public oversight and in violation of the laws of the respective nations.

      Corruption does not discriminate...
      In July 2012, Moshe Silman, social protest activist set himself on fire in a Tel Aviv protest. In the opening notes of his suicide letter, he claimed that he was subject to fraud in the Tel Aviv District Court, where he sued to get his social security benefits.
      Initial review of the court records in the case of Moshe Silman shows:
