Salih-El-Bey

Sakima Iban Bey 

47 St. Regis Rd

Akewsasne, NY 13655  

tribalcounsellawyer@mail.com

 According to Google 

 There's no information available linking him to a New York State Bar license or any legal practice in New York. Court documents indicate he has represented himself as "pro se" in cases outside of New York. An online musician profile suggests he identifies as a drummer with a background as a lawyer and Chief Law Counsel for a Native American nation. However, this profile also lists him as "Sakima Iban Salih El Bey, aka Francis Marion Savall, aka Iban Salih El Bey Sakim", which could indicate a variation in his name. It's important to note that a judge in a New York state appeals court was outraged after a plaintiff tried to use an AI-generated avatar to argue his case, and the judge quickly realized the attorney arguing the case was not real. 


Research indicates he is working with Fraudulent Individuals claiming to be a tribes and a banks by which both are indicated as being Frauds.  The Fraudulent tribes and banks he appears to be  in concert with,  these individuals and entities are listed in earlier Talking Leaves Press Reporting as Frauds.


Based on the provided search results, there is no information available that directly connects Sakima Iban Bey with being a "tribal counsel lawyer". The search results primarily detail his involvement in various court cases, mostly as a plaintiff representing himself (pro se). Key details about Sakima Iban Salih El Bey:

  • Frequent Litigant: Sakima Iban Salih El Bey appears frequently as a litigant in federal courts, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth and Eighth Circuits. He is also mentioned in Supreme Court docket information, though the specific context of that case is unclear.
  • Pro se Representation: He represents himself (pro se) in multiple legal proceedings.
  • Case Types: His cases involve different issues, including:
    • Appeals of district court orders.
    • Seeking declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief related to convictions.
    • A case brought on behalf of the Chakchiuma Nation concerning an alleged treaty violation. However, the court ruled that El Bey could not represent the Chakchiuma in this case.
    • A case involving a contested commercial lien against a judge.
  • Mention of "tribal" matters: One case involves a claim on behalf of the Chakchiuma Nation concerning an alleged violation of the Treaty of 1866 and the application of the Indian Claims Commission Act. The Chakchiuma allege they are descendants of those described in the treaty.
  • "We the people preamble Citizen of the United States Government National of the United States": This phrase appears in several court documents related to his cases, indicating his stated status.
  • "Vexatious litigation history": One source mentions his "vexatious litigation history" as relevant to a case. 

The search results do not provide any evidence that Sakima Iban Salih El Bey is a lawyer, tribal counsel, or provides legal services to tribal governments or individuals as an attorney. His representation in the listed cases appears to be as a self-represented litigant.  


 Information available indicates that Sakima Iban Salih El Bey has been involved in several legal cases, often appearing pro se (representing himself). Specifically, he has been involved in:

  • Appeals in federal court regarding dismissal of civil complaints.
  • A case against the Department of Motor Vehicles and other parties.
  • A lawsuit filed on behalf of the Chakchiuma Nation seeking various forms of relief related to an alleged violation of a treaty.
  • A case where he appealed the dismissal of his complaint after an arrest and convictions.
  • A case where the government challenged a commercial lien he filed against a judge and others. 

The records suggest a history of litigation. One source notes a pre-filing injunction was deemed necessary to protect public officials from further harassment in one of his cases. However, the provided information does not explicitly confirm that Sakima Iban Bey is a "tribal council lawyer" or practices tribal law. While some sources indicate his involvement in a case related to a Native American nation, there's no clear evidence of him being a lawyer specifically employed by a tribal council.  


 AI OverviewSakima Iban Bey is a pro se litigant who has been involved in multiple legal cases, primarily related to his arrests and convictions. Many of these cases involve appeals of dismissed or remanded cases, often related to his claims of civil rights violations or jurisdictional issues. Several cases mention his attempts to seek declaratory, injunctive, or monetary relief after his convictions. Here's a breakdown of some key aspects of his legal history:

  • Civil Rights Cases:Several cases, including El Bey v. Kennedy and Sakima Salih El Bey v. Johnson, involve attempts to sue for civil rights violations related to his arrests and convictions. These cases often get dismissed because the courts find that a judgment in his favor would undermine the validity of the existing convictions. 
  • Remand Orders:In at least one case, Sakima Iban Salih El Bey v. South Carolina, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's order remanding his case to state court. The court found that the remand was based on a lack of subject matter jurisdiction and was therefore not reviewable, citing 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d). 
  • Pro Se Status:Sakima Iban Bey is consistently described as a pro se litigant, meaning he represents himself in court without the assistance of an attorney. 
  • Unpublished Opinions:Some of his cases, such as Sakima El Bey v. Henry McMaster, are identified as unpublished opinions, meaning they do not serve as binding precedent in the circuit. 



 AI OverviewSakima Iban Bey is a litigant who has been involved in numerous court cases, often representing himself pro se. His cases frequently involve challenges to his state court convictions and disputes with government entities. Many of his appeals have been dismissed, often for failure to state a claim or because a ruling in his favor would invalidate prior convictions. Here's a more detailed breakdown of his activities:

  • Vexatious Litigator:In one case, the court noted his "vexatious litigation history" and his attempts to file commercial liens against judges and others involved in his previous cases. 
  • Challenges to Convictions:He has appealed the dismissal of his civil rights complaints related to his state court convictions for driving on a suspended license and careless driving, arguing that his convictions were wrongful. 
  • Dismissals and Affirmations:Many of his appeals have been dismissed, and the courts have affirmed the dismissals, often citing the legal principle that a judgment in his favor would call into question the validity of his convictions. 
  • Remands to State Court:Some of his cases have been remanded back to state court due to jurisdictional issues. 
  • Pro Se Representation:He has consistently represented himself in court. 
  • Examples of Cases:Relevant cases include U.S. v. Bey, Sakima Iban Salih El Bey v. Johnson, El Bey v. Kennedy, and Sakima El Bey v. Henry McMaster.


 AI Overview Sakima Iban Salih El Bey (also known as Francis Marion Savall, Iban Salih El Bey Sakim) has been involved in legal cases where he identifies himself as a "We the People preamble Citizen of the United States Government National of the United States". He has represented the Chakchiuma Nation in a case against the United States. This case is related to the Treaty of 1866, which involved individuals of African descent within the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations. The Chakchiuma Nation claims to descend from those individuals. There is no explicit evidence that Sakima Iban Salih El Bey is a "tribal council lawyer" or practices tribal law. Public profiles associated with the name Sakima Bey suggest other professions, including Consul General at Consulate Moorish Xi Anu Chakchiuma and drummer. Some case summaries may be partially generated by AI and could contain inaccuracies. It is important to consult the full case documents for legal research.  



 AI Overview Sakima Iban Bey is a pro se litigant who has been involved in multiple legal cases, primarily related to his arrests and convictions in Arkansas and South Carolina. He has filed numerous appeals and civil actions, often challenging the validity of his convictions and seeking various forms of relief. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Arkansas Cases:Sakima Iban Bey was arrested and convicted in Arkansas for driving on a suspended license and careless and prohibited driving. He subsequently filed a civil suit in federal court seeking declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief related to these convictions. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's dismissal of the suit because the convictions had not been reversed, and any judgment in his favor would have called their validity into question. 
  • South Carolina Cases:He has also been involved in cases in South Carolina, including an appeal to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding a case against the Attorney General of South Carolina. In another instance, the Fourth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of his civil complaint without prejudice for failure to state a claim. 
  • Pro Se Litigant:Sakima Iban Bey represents himself in these legal proceedings, meaning he is acting as his own attorney. 
  • Unpublished Opinions:Many of his cases, particularly those in the Fourth Circuit, involve unpublished opinions, meaning they are not considered binding precedent within that circuit. 
  • Key Legal Concepts:The cases often involve legal concepts such as res judicata (the principle that a matter already decided in court should not be litigated again) and the requirement that a judgment in a civil case cannot contradict a prior criminal conviction. 

It has been indicated, Sakima Iban Bey as a Consulate General at Consulate Moorish Xi Anu Chakchiuma, the

Defined boundaries

DEFINED BOUNDARY

A defined boundary is a legally established line that marks the limits of a political unit or territory. These boundaries are often described in legal documents or treaties. 

Defined boundaries are important for establishing: 

Sovereignty: The sovereignty of states 

Jurisdiction: Clear jurisdictions for governance, resource management, and territorial claims 

Identity: Identity among political entities or states 

Clarity: Clarity in political organization 

Boundaries can be physical, conceptual, or natural: 

Physical boundaries: Natural barriers between two areas, such as rivers, oceans, deserts, or mountain ranges 

Conceptual boundaries: Lines on a map or a legal demarcation 

Natural boundaries: Boundaries based on natural features, such as rivers, mountains, or deserts 

Boundaries can be a source of conflict or tension, especially when there are disputes over their location.


Defined boundaries are established by a legal document. Delimited boundaries are drawn on a map. Demarcated boundaries are identified by physical objects, like walls, signs, and fences. Any boundary is also determined by either natural or geometric lines.


Borders are generally defined as geographical boundaries, imposed either by features such as oceans and terrain, or by political entities such as governments.


Defined borders are the clearly established and recognized boundaries that delineate the territorial limits of a state or political entity.


The world is full of boundaries but not all look or function the same...


A boundary is an invisible line that marks the extent of a state's territory. Boundaries are learned, accepted and occasionally challenged. But not all boundaries function the same.


Boundaries first begin by DEFINING where the lines will be set. Definition, in political geography, is the written legal description (as in a treaty-like document) of a boundary between two countries or territories. 


The Berlin Conference was a conference regulating European colonization and trade in Africa, held in Berlin, Germany in 1884. It began by settling a dispute over the Congo between Belgium, France and Portugal. It resulted in the “Scramble for Africa,” and the subjugation of African nations. The "General Act of the Berlin Conference of West Africa" was the legal definition of which regions European powers had exclusive rights over.


Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention famously includes “a defined territory” among the four qualifications for statehood. This requirement is seen as reflective of customary law by many, whereas others hold the view that a defined territory is a pre-legal condition for exercising sovereignty in a community of equal states. Even if this can be doubted, based on the observation that some territorial entities in world history have fared well even with no clear understanding of their precise borders, it is true that the current international society has accepted the idea that boundaries are necessary. All in all, the idea that a “defined territory” is a prerequisite for statehood must allow for the possibility of some segments of the frontier line being undetermined (here and in the following we use the words “boundary,” “border,” and “frontier” interchangeably). This bibliography lists a number of items as starting references for research on the concept of a boundary, its history, its application in specific geographical contexts, and its role in interstate disputes (having in mind that the distinction between boundary and territorial disputes is a matter of quantity rather than quality). The point of view is primarily legal, but other perspectives—sociological, historical, geographical, anthropological, and political, inter alia—have given rise to a copious literature, including no less than five journals devoted to borders and border areas (Journal of Borderlands Studies; International Journal of Migration and Border Studies; Border and Regional Studies; Borders in Globalization Review; and Journal of Territorial and Maritime Studies). Since these approaches may be fruitful in light of what is usually known as cross-fertilization among different disciplines, non-legal studies are occasionally referred to, convinced as we are that lawyers should not ignore the origins, consequences, and other “surroundings” of their objects of study. Conversely, we leave out those subjects that are extensively covered by other Oxford Bibliographies articles, such as “Territorial Title”, “Secession,” and, save for some scattered bibliographic elements, “Uti Possidetis Iuris” (but other entries are quoted below). Some internal cross-references, to be found in introductory paragraphs and elsewhere, are present, given the unavoidable overlapping between sections.


Boundaries and Geography

Interest in boundaries in an international law perspective breeds interest in the actual position of boundary lines, both on maps and on the ground. Unfortunately, no official cartographic work is available; even if it were, the issue of its constant update would remain (for instance, the complete International Boundaries: A Geopolitical Atlas, authored by Ewan W. Anderson and published by Routledge, dates back to 2003). The problem could be tackled by making geographical data available online, which is done by the World Bank Official Boundaries project (also at an intra-state level, which would prove useful when uti possidetis becomes applicable) and other databases. The United Nations Initiative on Global Geospatial Information Management aims to improve states’ capacity to collect topographical data, whereas the mandate of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names includes addressing the issue of cartographic denominations (which may be relevant in boundary disputes). One has to keep in mind, though, the disclaimer repeated by these organizations: designations and maps do not imply the expression of such bodies’ opinion concerning the delimitation of boundaries. However, a role of these institutions in boundary-marking is advocated by Claussen 2009, especially by making use of advanced technological tools. Geographers like Samuel Whittemore Boggs and Stephen B. Jones, in turn, have stressed the difficulty of carrying out actual demarcation starting from delimitation as set out in treaties and maps (Whittemore Boggs 1940, Jones 1943, and Jones 1945). Speaking of inter-state agreements and border lines drawn over maps, even if no atlas exists that can provide reliable and up-to-date information on boundaries, especially those that are contested, the international lawyer may be interested in works—such as Tertrais and Papin 2016 and Nikolic 2019—which focus on specific boundary settings, chosen for their saliency or strangeness. Far from being a mere divertissement, this literature shows how political needs may shape boundaries in unexpected ways. For a longer historical account, still rich in maps, see Foucher 1991; it could perhaps have featured in the next section (General Overviews), so it can be seen as the trait d’union with it. https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780199796953/obo-9780199796953-0244.xml 


Defined Boundary. boundary is created in agreement between two parties in a treaty or other legal document · Delimited Boundary · Demarcated Boundary · 4 Purposes ...


Defined boundaries are legally established lines that mark the limits of a country's territory, and they are essential for establishing a country's sovereignty, identity, and jurisdiction. They can be described in legal documents or treaties, and can include physical markers like walls, fences, or signs, or abstract legal descriptions. 

Defined boundaries are important for a number of reasons, including: 

Preventing disputes

Defined boundaries help to ensure clarity in political organization and prevent disputes. 

Establishing jurisdiction

Defined boundaries help to establish clear jurisdictions for resource management, governance, and territorial claims. 

Influencing migration patterns

Defined boundaries can affect migration patterns, trade, and cultural interactions between nations. 

Shaping identity and governance

Defined boundaries can shape the identity and governance of states. 

Boundaries can be natural or geometric, and can be influenced by historical conflicts, treaties, and negotiations. For example, some political borders are based on natural features like rivers, mountains, or deserts. The Niagara River, the Rio Grande, the Rhine, the Mekong, and the Ichamati river are all examples of natural borders that have been used to define political borders.


Defined boundaries refer to the specific and clear demarcation of a territory, outlining the limits of political control and governance.


A defined boundary is a legally established line that marks the limits of a particular territory or political unit, often described in legal documents or treaties.


Boundaries are defined lines or limits that demarcate the territorial extent of a political entity, such as a country, state, or region. They play a crucial role in political geography by determining jurisdiction, governance, and the relationship between different political entities.


Geographic boundaries are defined lines that separate different political or territorial entities, such as countries, states, or regions. These boundaries can be physical, like rivers or mountains, or artificial, created through legal agreements and treaties


Rivers, coastlines ( on the Great lakes, for example) , and mountains. These are all natural boundaries.

# 368 The Cox Mound, or Woodpecker (S'akwa), gorget style is a particularly beautiful and enduring symbol of Tennessee's prehistoric inhabitants. A gorget was a pendant, or personal adornment, worn around the neck as a badge of rank or insignia of status. Just over thirty Cox Mound-style gorgets have been found since the late nineteenth century, primarily from prehistoric Mississippian stone box graves and villages along the lower Tennessee, Cumberland, Duck, Harpeth, and Buffalo Rivers of Middle Tennessee, and the middle Tennessee River valley of northern Alabama. Typically, Cox Mound gorgets were manufactured on exotic marine shell and were white in color, although slate versions have been found. A Cox Mound gorget has three important iconographic elements. In the center is the yati: a cross inside a rayed circle or sun motif. The cross is symbolic of the sacred, community fire. The sun represents the Yuchi deity. Surrounding the cross and sun is a scroll-like design element known as the rainbow path. It represents our path trough life & is part of several dances on the Rainbow Square Grounds of the Green Corn Rite. Typically the looped square is composed of four lines, but in some cases only three lines are used. Four crested bird heads, which represent pileated woodpeckers, are found on the outer edge. The woodpecker heads always are oriented in a counterclockwise direction, suggestive of the prehistoric Native American swastika. The S'akwaya gorget was worn by priest scribes, and not war chiefs as has been theorized. The proof that they were not war symbols is that both men and women wore them and were buried with them. A scribe was called S'akwaya as was the famous Sequoyah, the scribe who rendered Cherokee into the MesoAmerican Syllabary structure.

Did You Know: The Misunderstood Swastika

Written by Debbie Neece of the Bartlesville Area History Museum and published in the October 2021 edition of bimonthly magazine.


The Johnstone Park bridge, with swastikas on the columns.

As the result of a park bond election on August 31, 1915, the City of Bartlesville was able to purchase parkland from the families of early Bartlesville pioneers on January 13, 1916. Lucy Armstrong whose father was Arthur Armstrong, sold 16 acres; Nellie Johnstone Cannon whose father was William Johnstone, sold 40 acres; and Joseph Bartles whose father was Jacob Bartles, recognized as the founder of Bartlesville and Dewey, gifted additional land towards the park effort.


Johnstone Park has been a community staple hosting a varied list of events including picnic socials, seasonal festivities and religious services resulting in Caney River baptisms. The meandering drive following the west bank of the Caney River is lush with walnut trees and scurrying squirrels. Entering Johnstone Park, you are greeted by a childhood favorite…the Kiddie Park, followed by the Landmark Preservation Council’s refurbished Hulah Depot, the Burbank Oil Fire Fighting Cannon, Oklahoma’s First Commercial Oil Well…the Nellie Johnstone and then cross the swastika embellished bridge to reach the north loop of the park.


Understandably, the swastika creates a broad range of emotional responses; so, perhaps a brief history lesson will ease your concerns.


Osage Nation Minerals Council Chairman, Everett Waller says, “There was much Native American influence in embellishing the Johnstone Park Bridge with the swastika and the symbol of good luck for centuries is covered by symbols of water blessings and prayers.”


Originally, the northern part of Johnstone Park was only reachable by a rustic wooden pedestrian bridge. Then in 1917, Park Superintendent William Trautman built a wooden wagon bridge for better picnic area access. As park improvements were made, the dirt park roads were paved and the wagon bridge was replaced with a Dewey Portland Cement bridge in 1920.


Details of the decorative embellishments have eluded history books and area newspapers. However, Ernest Dewar Kirkpatrick was the City Engineer from 1911-1925 and his March 1920 drawings detail the specifications for the auto traffic bridge requiring 94 cubic yards of Portland cement with sixteen Native American good luck swastikas and water blessing symbols deeply recessed.


The Dewey Portland Cement Company was well versed in creating concrete molds as H.V. Foster had concrete quail, Don Tyler had a molded bull and the Dewey Portland Company logo was imprinted in cement.


One of the earliest historical appearances of the swastika symbol was at the ruins of Troy in the fourteenth century, B.C. Then, German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann found swastikas during his archaeological excavation in 1870. Swastika symbols have been found in China, India, Greece, Israel and literally around the world, and remain widely used in Indian religions like Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism as a symbol of divinity and spirituality.


Fast forward several centuries and the swastika or “Whirling Log of Life” became a deeply rooted symbol of good luck, good fortune, well-being and welfare for many Native American tribes.


Peter Bigheart

Across the globe the swastika has been found carved upon rocks in the mountains of India and painted upon canyon walls in Arizona. In 1909, Osage Chief Peter Bigheart wore a swastika lapel pin as part of his traditional clothing. The symbol has been seen on American Indian blankets and pottery, in books, beadwork, basketry and artwork. In addition, Dewey Roundup (1908-1949) contestants had the indigenous symbol woven into their Pendleton saddle blankets. In 1925, “Coca Cola used the swastika as a sales slogan, the Boy Scouts adopted the symbol, and the Girls’ Club of America called their magazine Swastika and sent swastika tokens to young readers as prizes for selling copies of the magazine.”


Established in 1923, the 45th Infantry Division was a unit of the National Guard comprised of over 5,000 men from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Due to the large population of indigenous people living within the four representative states, an exceptionally large percentage of the National Guard’s 45th Infantry Division were of Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, Apache, Sioux, Kiowa, Pawnee, Comanche, Osage, Creek and Navajo decent. In honor of the strong Native American heritage held by the Guard members, their left shoulder insignia was a diamond shaped red patch with a yellow swastika in the center…a symbol reflective of their diverse cultures that celebrated a common theme…good luck.


That all ceased in the 1930s…President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “This generation has a rendezvous with destiny.” No truer words have been spoken.


Germany’s National Socialist Party adopted the swastika as its symbol in 1920, tilting the symbol at a 45 degree angle, standing on its point, while the Native American swastika sits flat in optional left-right directions.


Once revered as the oldest cross in the world, the Nazi regime was able to bring a negative connotation to the once positive symbolism and it became forever tarnished. In 1939, the 45th Infantry Division retired the swastika from their uniforms and replaced it with a thunderbird, another Native American cultural symbol. The unit then became known as the “Thunderbirds.”


Evil has a way of worming its way into society and destroying centuries of peace and prosperity. Although the roots of the swastika were traditional and genuinely good, the symbol has been irreversibly desecrated by Nazi anti-Semitic ideology. By the 1940s, the swastika represented a symbol of fear, suppression, death and hate leading some American tribes to eliminate the use of the swastika symbol in their own expressive artwork. The multi-cultural symbol of good luck and positivity has been squashed by negativism and the propaganda of war resulting in a tragic cultural theft that reshaped world history.


We hope this history of the swastika has enlightened your world and given less power to the evil and more to your peace. May your next Johnstone Park visit bring you positive thoughts.

Ancient Pottery Found In Israel With A Swastika Symbol


 AI Overview

Yes, archaeological finds in Israel have revealed instances of the swastika symbol on ancient artifacts, including pottery. However, it's crucial to understand the historical context surrounding these discoveries. Swastika in Ancient Israel

  • Synagogue Decoration: The swastika, in its ancient form, has been found as a decorative motif in synagogues in ancient Israel. Ein Gedi, for example, had a prominent swastika in a mosaic pavement dating back to the early third century A.D.
  • Pottery: Pottery fragments unearthed in archaeological digs in Israel can provide insights into ancient civilizations, their daily lives, and even religious or symbolic practices, according to the Artza Blog. The presence of swastika symbols on some of these fragments reflects the symbol's presence in the broader ancient world, including the Middle East. 

Understanding the swastika

  • Ancient Symbol: The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used by various cultures worldwide for thousands of years, long before its adoption by the Nazi Party.
  • Positive Connotations: In many ancient cultures, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, the swastika symbolized good fortune, prosperity, well-being, and divinity. The word "swastika" comes from Sanskrit and means "that which brings good luck and well-being".
  • Misappropriation: The Nazi Party in Germany appropriated the swastika in the 20th century, transforming it into a symbol of hatred, racial superiority, and violence. This association has led to the symbol's strong negative connotations in the Western world today. 

In conclusion, while swastika symbols have been found on ancient pottery and in other archaeological contexts in Israel, their presence reflects the widespread use of the symbol in the ancient world and shouldn't be interpreted through the lens of its modern, hateful association with Nazism. 


 Yes, archaeological finds in ancient Israel, including pottery, have revealed the presence of the swastika symbol. However, it's crucial to understand that these ancient swastikas bear no connection to the Nazi swastika. Here's why:

  • Ancient symbol of good fortune: For millennia before Hitler, the swastika was a positive and sacred symbol across many cultures and continents, including in India, China, Africa, the Americas, and Europe. The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit "svastika," meaning "good fortune" or "well-being".
  • Widespread usage: Archaeologists have found the swastika in ancient civilizations like those of Egypt, Troy, China, India, Greece, and even ancient Israel. It was used as a decorative element in synagogues of ancient Israel.
  • Nazi appropriation: Adolf Hitler designed the Nazi flag in 1920, deliberately combining the swastika with the colors of the German Imperial flag (red, black, and white). The Nazis transformed this ancient symbol into a potent emblem of racial hatred and Aryan supremacy, using it as a central element of their propaganda. 

In conclusion, while ancient pottery with swastika symbols has been found in Israel, their presence reflects the symbol's widespread use as an ancient motif of good fortune, not any connection to Nazi ideology

Swastika Mosaic Discovered In Ancient Israel Synagogue


 AI Overview

 A swastika mosaic was indeed discovered in an ancient synagogue in Ein Gedi, Israel, dating back to the early 3rd century CE. This mosaic, found beneath a later mosaic floor, was a prominent feature in the synagogue's design. While the swastika is now widely recognized as a symbol of hate due to its association with the Nazis, in this ancient context, it was a common decorative element with roots in mysticism and other cultural traditions. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Discovery: The swastika mosaic was found during excavations at the Ein Gedi synagogue, where archaeologists lifted a later mosaic and discovered an earlier one beneath it. 
  • Context: The swastika was a part of a rectangular frame with three squares, one of which contained the large, left-facing swastika. 
  • Significance: While swastikas had appeared in other synagogue decorations, this was the first time one was found so prominently in a Jewish context. 
  • Modern Symbolism: The swastika's association with Nazism is a modern development, and in ancient times, it was a symbol with various meanings, including fertility and good fortune, particularly in India. 
  • Jewish History: The swastika had been used in Jewish contexts before, but its prominence in the Ein Gedi mosaic made it a subject of discussion.

Swastika and Star of David World War 2  Coin

 AI Overview

 This medal was struck in honor of a series of articles published in the Nazi journal "Der Angriff" (The Attack) titled "A Nazi Travels to Palestine" by Nazi Party member Baron von Mildenstein. The articles detailed Mildenstein's journey to Palestine and contained a pro-Zionist report encouraging Jewish emigration. The coin's design reflected this seemingly paradoxical cooperation between the Nazi Party and German Zionist Federation with their shared goal of relocating German Jews to Palestine. 

  • The front side features a Star of David surrounded by the inscription "Ein Nazi fährt nach Palästina" (A Nazi travels to Palestine).
  • The reverse side depicts a swastika and the words "Und erzählt davon in Angriff" (And he tells about it in The Attack). 

It's important to note the historical context. In the early days of Nazi rule, some elements within the Nazi Party initially encouraged Jewish emigration. The Zionist movement in Germany, facing increasing persecution, saw this as a potential, albeit controversial, avenue for Jews to leave Germany. This cooperation eventually ceased as Nazi policies shifted towards persecution and ultimately the Holocaust. Today, these coins are considered rare collector's items and are held by institutions like the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Some, like Holocaust survivor Shaul Ladany, believe the coin symbolizes a "missed opportunity" to save more German Jews if emigration efforts had been more extensive at the time.  


 During World War II and the Holocaust, the Nazi regime used the swastika as a symbol of their ideology and persecution, while the Star of David was used to identify and target Jewish individuals. While a coin with both symbols might seem like a contradiction, there are examples of coins from this period that depict both a swastika and the Star of David. One such coin was struck in 1934 by the nationalist German newspaper "Der Angriff" (The Attack). The coin commemorated the journey of Baron von Mildenstein, a Nazi Party member, to Palestine. Mildenstein's trip resulted in a report published in "Der Angriff" that encouraged Jewish emigration to Palestine, a policy supported by the Nazis in the early years of their rule. The coin's front features a Star of David encircled by German text, which reads: "Ein Nazi fährt nach Palästina" (A Nazi travels to Palestine). The back of the coin depicts a swastika and three lines of German text below, stating: "Und erzählt davon im Angriff" (And tells about it in The Attack). These coins were reportedly given as a promotional gift to individuals who purchased a subscription to "Der Angriff". Though the coins are rare today, some have survived and are held in collections, including one owned by Holocaust survivor and two-time Olympian Professor Shaul Ladany. It is important to note that while this coin depicts both the Star of David and a swastika, it is not evidence of cooperation between Nazism and Zionism, but rather a reflection of the complex and disturbing policies and propaganda employed by the Nazi regime in the early stages of its persecution of Jews. The Holocaust, which began later, was a Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jewish people, not a conflict between Nazis and Jews. AI responses may include mistakes. 


The Transfer Agreement

 AI Overview


The Transfer Agreement, also known as the Haavara Agreement, was a controversial pact between Zionist organizations and Nazi Germany in 1933. It facilitated the emigration of German Jews to Palestine by allowing them to transfer some of their assets to Palestine in the form of German goods. This agreement was negotiated amidst growing anti-Jewish persecution in Germany and a global Jewish-led boycott of German goods. Key aspects of the Transfer Agreement:

  • Purpose: To enable German Jews to emigrate to Palestine with some of their assets. 
  • Mechanism: German Jews sold their assets in Germany, and the money was used to purchase German goods that were then shipped to Palestine. 
  • Participants: The Jewish Agency for Palestine, the German Zionist Federation, and the German Economics Ministry. 
  • Controversy: The agreement was highly debated within the Jewish community, with some criticizing it for collaborating with the Nazi regime and potentially undermining the broader boycott movement. 
  • Significance: It is estimated that around 60,000 German Jews were able to emigrate to Palestine under the agreement. 
  • Historical Context: The agreement was signed in the context of escalating Nazi persecution and a global Jewish boycott of German goods, reflecting the complex and morally challenging choices faced by Jewish leaders at the time. 


 A "Transfer Agreement" can refer to a few different types of agreements depending on the context:

  • In a general legal and business context: A transfer agreement is a legally binding document that formally transfers the ownership of an asset, rights, or obligations from one party to another. It documents the transfer and can be relied upon in the future to prove who owns the asset.
    • Examples of assets that can be transferred include real estate, businesses, LLC or partnership interests, shares in private corporations, valuable personal property (like art or vehicles), and even intellectual property.
    • Transfer agreements are particularly necessary when transferring illiquid assets into or out of a trust.
    • Key elements typically include a description of the asset being transferred, the names of the transferor and transferee, financial terms, the rights and obligations of each party, and any limitations on the use of the transferred property.
  • In an educational setting: A transfer agreement (also known as an articulation agreement) outlines how credits from one educational institution will be accepted by another. These agreements aim to streamline the process for students moving between institutions (e.g., from a community college to a four-year university). There are several types:
    • Dual Admissions: Allows students to identify early what institution they would like to transfer to and eases the planning process with security of knowing credits will transfer.
    • Core-to-Core: Guarantees that general education requirements from an associate degree will be fulfilled at a four-year institution.
    • Program-to-Program (P2P): Provides a roadmap for students to meet requirements for both an associate degree and a bachelor's degree in a specific major.
    • Honors: Provides specific benefits for honors students transferring between institutions.
    • Course-to-Course/Course Equivalency: Determines how individual courses match up between institutions.
  • In a historical context: "The Transfer Agreement" (or Haavara Agreement) refers to a negotiated arrangement in 1933 between Zionist organizations and Nazi Germany. This agreement involved transferring some German Jews and their assets to Palestine in exchange for ending a worldwide boycott of German goods. This event, according to Wikipedia, is documented in the book "The Transfer Agreement" by Edwin Black. 

Understanding the specific context in which "Transfer Agreement" is used is important to correctly grasp its meaning and implications.

Nasi Germany Created Banks for The Transfer Agreement


 AI Overview:

 Yes, the Ha'avara Agreement, established in 1933, involved creating mechanisms, including banks, to facilitate the transfer of Jewish assets from Germany to Palestine. This agreement allowed German Jews emigrating to Palestine to transfer their assets by selling them in Germany and using the proceeds to purchase German goods, which were then shipped to Palestine. Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • The Ha'avara Agreement:This agreement was a partnership between Zionist organizations and Nazi Germany. 
  • Asset Transfer:It enabled German Jews to transfer their assets to Palestine by selling them in Germany and using the funds to purchase German goods (like agricultural equipment). 
  • Banks and Financial Mechanisms:The agreement involved the use of specific banks and financial instruments. For example, Jews could deposit funds into accounts in the Reichsbank, and those funds would be used to purchase and export goods to Palestine. 
  • Reimbursement in Palestine:Upon arrival in Palestine, the emigrants would be reimbursed in local currency by a designated company. 
  • Mutually Beneficial Arrangement (for some):The agreement helped German Jews to salvage some of their wealth and fulfill British immigration requirements. It also benefited Nazi Germany by allowing them to export goods and reduce the economic impact of Jewish emigration. 
  • Controversial Agreement:The Ha'avara Agreement was controversial, with some critics arguing that it helped the Nazi regime and undermined the anti-Nazi boycott. 


 Germany's role in establishing banks related to the Transfer Agreement (Haavara Agreement) was primarily to facilitate the transfer of assets for Jews emigrating to Palestine in the 1930s. Here's how it worked:

  • Blocked Accounts: German Jews wishing to emigrate could deposit their assets, up to a certain amount, into blocked accounts within the German Reichsbank.
  • Purchasing German Goods: These funds were then used to purchase German goods, primarily agricultural equipment and other needed supplies for the Jewish community (Yishuv) in Palestine.
  • Reimbursement in Palestine: Upon arrival in Palestine, the Jewish emigrants would be reimbursed in local currency by a Zionist organization, effectively allowing them to retain a portion of their wealth despite the restrictions placed on Jewish assets in Germany. 

In essence, the agreement involved the creation of a clearinghouse mechanism overseen by the German Economics Ministry and Zionist institutions, rather than the establishment of entirely new, dedicated banks specifically for the Transfer Agreement. German banks, like the Reichsbank, served as the initial points of deposit for the emigrants' assets. Later, the Anglo-Palestine Bank, a Zionist institution, became involved in facilitating these transfers .


 The Haavara (Transfer) Agreement was an agreement signed on August 25, 1933, between Nazi Germany and Zionist organizations, facilitating the emigration of German Jews to Palestine. It involved the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the direction of the Jewish Agency), and Nazi Germany's economic authorities. The agreement functioned through two trust companies: PALTREU in Germany and Ha'avara Ltd. in Palestine, according to OpenScholar @ HUJI. Ha'avara Ltd. was initially a subsidiary of the Anglo-Palestine Bank. The Anglo-Palestine Bank, established in 1902 in Jaffa as a subsidiary of the Jewish Colonial Trust, played a crucial role in the economic development of British Mandatory Palestine. In 1951, after the establishment of Israel, the Anglo-Palestine Bank was renamed Bank Leumi Le-Israel (National Bank of Israel). While Deutsche Bank, a prominent German financial institution, was involved in the Haavara Agreement, facilitating the transfer of assets and currency exchanges for emigrating Jews, it is not accurate to state that Deutsche Bank was created for this agreement. Deutsche Bank was founded in 1870 and was involved in various aspects of Germany's financial and economic activities during the Nazi era, including the expropriation of Jewish businesses and assisting the Nazi regime. Deutsche Bank continues to be a major international bank today. The German Reichsbank also participated in the Haavara Agreement by providing Reichsmarks for the transfer of goods. The Reichsbank was the central bank of Germany from 1876 to 1945. After World War II, the Bundesbank was established as Germany's new central bank, but it was set up after the war and was not the same entity as the Reichsbank. The Bundesbank has acknowledged the Reichsbank's involvement in the Nazi regime's activities. In conclusion, while banks involved in the Haavara Agreement continue to exist today under new names (like Bank Leumi), they were not specifically created for the agreement but were existing financial institutions that participated in its implementation. Additionally, Deutsche Bank, although involved in the agreement and Nazi economic policies, was an established bank before the Nazi era and continues to operate today.  


 It is stated that Germany created banks for the Transfer Agreement, also known as the Haavara Agreement, and these banks may exist today under different names. 

  • The Haavara Agreement involved the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the Jewish Agency's direction), the Zionist Federation of Germany, and the German Economics Ministry.
  • The agreement allowed German Jews immigrating to Palestine to deposit funds in a blocked account in Berlin at the Palästina-Treuhandstelle zur Beratung deutscher Juden GmbH (Paltreu).
  • Part of the deposited money was then paid out from the Reichsbank in British pounds.
  • The agreement was controversial and involved Warburg bank of Hamburg and the A. E. Wassermann bank of Berlin for handling the German end of the transfer details, as the Reichsbank was no longer transacting business in connection with the agreement. 

While these were the key financial institutions involved in the Haavara Agreement during the 1930s, determining whether they exist today under different names requires further investigation.

  • The Anglo-Palestine Bank evolved into Bank Leumi, an Israeli bank.
  • The Reichsbank ceased to exist after World War II.
  • The status of Paltreu, the Warburg bank of Hamburg, and the A.E. Wassermann bank of Berlin requires more in-depth research to ascertain whether they have been absorbed or rebranded into existing entities. 

Some historical and economic analyses indicate that the principles of the Haavara Agreement show similarities to later reparations agreements between the Federal Republic of Germany and Israel, which involved compensation in the form of German goods to help alleviate Israel's existential difficulties at the time.
