The family history of Zionist, Edgar Bronfman, honorary national vice chairman of the Jewish, Anti-Defamation League, (ADL) sheds light on the process of how organized crime networks were absorbed wholesale by the ADL, and covered with a veneer of respectability.
Edgar Bronfman’s grandfather Yechiel emigrated to Canada from the Bessarabia region of Romania in 1889. He came as a virtual indentured servant to the Baron de Hirsch Fund, by then already closely allied with the B’nai Brith.
At this time, top British Zionists, including Moses Montefiore, Baron Alfred de Rothschild and Maurice de Hirsch, had struck a deal with the Hudson Bay Company, the British Colonial Office corporate front in charge of the administration of Canada, to finance a wave of Eastern European Jewish colonization in the barren provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It was here that Yechiel Bronfman settled.
The first generation Bronfman (in Yiddish literally means (liquorman”) to land on the shores of North America immediately got himself involved in the rackets, eventually opening up a string of whorehouses.
When Canada adopted Prohibition in 1915, Yechiel Bronfman’s whorehouses became illegal nightclubs, where bootlegged whiskey, smuggled across the border from the United States, was served.
Canada’s experiment with Prohibition ended just as American Prohibition was beginning and Yechiel Bronfman and his sons, Abel and Samuel, were already in a position to shift from purchasers to suppliers of illegal whiskey-and narcotics. In 1916, Abel and Samuel Bronfman had moved the family’s bootleg and prostitution revenues into the ownership of the Pure Drug Company.
The company, according to some accounts, began importing narcotics from the Far- East into Canada. The production facilities of the Pure Drug Company began churning out cheap whiskey to flood the American markets once Prohibition began in the United States.
The Bronfmans were the principal suppliers of bootleg alcohol to the Zionist, Meyer Lansky National Crime Syndicate throughout the Prohibition period and the family amassed a fortune selling their “chickencock” whiskey.
The bootlegging business was conducted at great risk being faced with stiff competition from declared antisemite, Joseph Kennedy.
According to U.S. government records, between 1920 and 1930, over 34,000 Americans died of alcohol poisoning as a result of drinking the Bronfman’s “chickencock”, making the Bronfman family the biggest murderers in the history of North American crime.
When Canadian police moved against the “Bronfman Gang” in 1926, the family set up the Atlas Shipping Company to ship their whiskey to the Caribbean, where it was transferred to boats owned by the Reinfeld Syndicate. the Cleveland based “Jewish Navy” and other Lansky syndicate rum runners.
At the close of Prohibition, Bronfman negotiated a deal with the U.S. Treasury Department to pay several million dollars in back taxes, a miniscule portion of the illegal profits the family derived from the Prohibition whiskey sales and drug-running.
The purpose of the payment was to clear the decks for the Bronfman family’s overnight transformation into leading lights of the Canadian Zionist establishment.
The Bronfman’s went on to found the Distillers Corporation in Montreal in 1924 and built one of the world’s great fortunes on whisky brands like Crown Royal and Chivas Regal and further expanded their empire becoming the largest shareholders in DuPont establishing a new dynasty and enjoyed the title, “Canadian Rothschild’s” wielding power, and global political influence.
