HARVARD'S DEEP THROAT SWALLOWS SILENCE

"WEST POINT OF CAPITALISM MIRED IN MUCK"

by Dabney Boles for CPW News Services

     Calling himself “Harvard’s Deep Throat”, a tenured professor of the Harvard Business School has leveled scathing criticism of Harvard’s place as “The West Point of Capitalism”.

     Minutes after Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadjinedad completed his speech to the United Nations calling for non aligned nations to play a larger role in their own self determination, “HDT” claimed that the pint-sized Iranian leader was essentially correct in his assessment of Capitalism’s inability to offer a workable solution to the world’s problems.   “The old Soviet style Socialism is gone, thank God, and there we are bogging down and not able to tell Iran that the only way we really make money, big money, is by bombing the holy hell out of nations like theirs that are rich in oil deposits,” said HDT.

     “I knew it was time for a change when my son came in asking for money to get his ears pierced and for some tattoos and nipple rings.  ‘They were going to pierce my ears for $85 and I got them to drop it to  $75 with sterling silver posts thrown in,'" HDT's son told him. 

     "I told him I’d cut off both ears with a meat cleaver for $5 each and he wouldn’t need silver posts.  That’s the trouble with American Capitalism today.  Nobody knows the value of anything anymore and while I hate to say it, that sawed-off Iranian is essentially correct.  It all started in the mid-80’s, or at least it was accelerated then.  I remember that a concerned mega-wealthy American businessman wanted to donate a few million for an ethics department at the Harvard Business School.  We turned it down.  People come here to learn the ins and outs of cheating without getting caught and how to hide vast sums undetected.  Guys like Jeffrey Skilling of Enron, George W. Bush of Harken Energy, Henry Paulson of Goldman Sachs, Mitt Romney of Bain Capital.”
     When asked if he thought that the recent announcement by Professor Karen L. Kennedy of the Harvard Divinity School of a Coptic papyra that spoke of Jesus being married was authentic HDT said, “We all have our doubts about that deal and about the timing on the story that sits hand in hand with that movie Innocence of Muslims by that weird Coptic fruitcake.  I’d want to know how Dr. Kennedy is related to J. Peter Grace of the Grace Kennedy conglomerate and to Grace Kennedy Inc. Jamaica,” said HDT. “It's there in Jamaica where Coptic Christians are the squirreliest bunch of toke smokers you’ve ever seen, but who have all but carried the little island's economy for decades.  On top of that," said HDT, "Dr. Kenneth Goodpaster, the 'father of ethics at Harvard' always said privately that the direction we were going in was going to come back and bite us all big time in our misguided butts.  Goodpaster didn't like leaving the question of business ethics to the Divinity School instead of to our own core curriculum and if it turns out that Professor Kennedy is the niece of Peter Grace's Kennedy connection and a Coptic connection through Jamaica to Egypt, the school will be up to its jowls in a soupy moral sludge deeper that its current one.  Then I'll be ready to roll a big one on the roof of the administration building...thank you Jamaican Coptics.  And when I'm really super mellow I'll ask myself  'since Professor Goodpaster is now the Koch Professor of ethics at St. Thomas University in Minneapolis, does he feel conflicted about his stand on ethics?  Was it the Koch brothers whose money was rejected because aside Skilling, Bush, Paulson and Romney it was all too obvious?  Will Goodpaster add to St. Thomas' Center for Ethical Business Culture’s annual Ethics Case Competition hosted by the CEBC, the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business and UnitedHealth Group, case studies from real cases involving Koch Industries and UnitedHealth Group?  Will he ask David Koch a simple question: Have you talked to the bees?  Really talked to the bees?'" asked HDT as he was packing boxes of text books and loading them onto a U-haul trailer.

COPTIC PROBABILITIES

Timing of Coptic Film and Coptic Papyrus Fragment Raises Issue of Political Use of Religion as Tool of Mass Manipulation

Statistician Formulates Probabilities for Jesus’ Wife and Anti-Mohamed Movie in One Week

by Carmine Freidman for CPW News Services

     Engelbert Rhinegold of the Rhinegold Institute in Prague has formulated the probability that two front page news articles containing the word “Coptic” would appear within the same overlapping news cycle.

     “Our computers collect, weigh and analyze benchmarks for the probability that a news story is innocently released without any attempt to manipulate the masses.  By reversing the process we can tell if stories have a high probability that they were used by major news outlets as tools of mass manipulation.

     With Ghulam Ahmad Bilour, Pakistan’s Railways Minister and one of the most powerful figures in Pakistan’s key coalition partner, the Awami National Party, making overtures to Taliban and al-Qaeda forces to kill Nakoula Basseley Nakoula for his release of the film Innocence of Muslims, others are calling for calm analysis of the real motivations for the films production and distribution.

     No one provides calm analysis like Englebert Rhinegold, a third generation professor with actuarial science, statistics and computer science PhD’s..

     “With a bounty on the head of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the U.S.-based Egyptian Coptic Christian behind the film Innocence of Muslims, many want to know if the embassy riots across the Muslim world are spontaneous or the result of an elaborate prankster who provided the film as a cover for misadventure and not by the sane elements of the American leadership.   America’s enemies could have a stake in setting off a culture war.  Or it could have been done by America’s own wayward elements like the money hungry U.S. Military Industrialist complex that claims to be the Arsenal of Freedom, when it may actually be poisoning the well of human society as the Arsenic of Freedom.  It is difficult to tell,” said Rhinegold.

     This is exactly where Rhinegold’s statistical probabilities come to the forefront.  “It is well known that Al Qaeda was spawned in Egypt within the Muslim Brotherhood to help the Mujaheddin fight the Russians in Afghanistan and that happened in Hosni Mubarak’s country where the CIA provided significant support and stability, but through repressive terroristic tactics.  Then comes the 'Arab Spring' which was initially a thirst for freedom, not the promulgation of Islamic fundamentalism.  Something doesn’t fit the scenario.  Frankly, when I first saw the two Coptic stories in the same paper the connections made my gut twist into knots.  I got up at 2 a.m. that morning and came to the office to begin the analysis.  Robert Baer, former CIA agent and author of Syriana and Sleeping with the Devil, has told how the rank and file CIA members had nothing on Al Qaeda in their files in 1988 when CIA agent, Matt Gannon,  son-in-law of the CIA’s Middle East Bureau Chief, Thomas Tweeton, returned to Washington to ask why agents had nothing on Al Qaeda in their files.  Matt died on Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.  The CIA within the CIA stopped him in mid-air along with scores others on their way to school or to see grandma.  Many within the agency fear that anything, therefore, is possible with respect to the Coptic stories," said Rhinegold.

     Of special interest to Rhinegold was the Coptic Church’s connections in the West.  “Dr. Karen L. King's release of the Coptic reed napkin-sized memo seems to have been rushed.  Harvard was to have provided peer review of King's story.  The publication of Professor King's Coptic fragment finding and claims, we are now told by Harvard theologians, was only a work in progress.  Oops. I would want to know if Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is a member of the Jamaica Coptic Church before moving to Hollywood.  Did he migrate there through the Jamaican Ministry of Economics and Star Island, Florida?  The  Jamaica Coptic Church has long been known to support the entire economy of Jamaica with the sale of junga or hemp….Marijuana.  Grace Kennedy Inc. is a major import-exporter in Jamaica.  With Mrs. Kings’s connections to Harvard, I would want to know if a recent Harvard Business School graduate who worked at Grace Kennedy Inc. before joining RMP Inc., an Orlando, Florida company with extensive ties to the Jamaica Ministry of Economics, informs any aspect of this bizarre convergence.  Dr. King was a Brown University graduate before coming to Harvard.  Her Coptic fragment, some say, is cryptic popycock and that it seems to support the notions of Ron Brown’s The Da Vinci Code.  Ron’s father taught at Phillips Exeter Academy which feeds students, to a great degree,  intoYale University.  If Harvard is the "West Point of American Capitalism", particularly the Harvard Business School which has graduated some real doozies, and if Yale is the "West Point for U.S. Intelligence Services"...and you don't have to see The Good Shepherd to see what doozies are there, too, it is quite possible that the doubling down of these two Coptic stories in a single news cycle is for nothing more that the manipulation of mass hysteria. My analysis proves it,” said Rhinegold.

     Walter Becker, of the British group Friends of the Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, claims that Ron Brown stole the ideas in his book The Da Vinci Code from The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail by Henry Lincoln and Michael Baigent.  "Brown did it in order to fill Brown family owned hotels near France’s Louve and art district and I thought The Da Vinci Code looked like a snow job in hell and a massive tourism promotion for the Mona Lisa.  If it worked as that kind of propaganda, why not in fueling the world's fear of a roaming Islamic boogie man that can replace our lost fear of the Soviet Union while elevating the role of women in the Islamic culture where they are clearly oppressed?   Two birds.  One stone. Mind science at it creepiest.  With women of the West controlling 80% of the purchases it's a no-brainer for Wall Street, Madison Avenue and the French clothes designers anxious to tap a vast untapped market and to put their touches on an enormous blank slate....burkas.  Just like Park Ave. and Paris did in replacing buckskin with cotton and silk blends in the U.S..”
    
     Rhinegold’s statistical analysis will be released on January 1, 2013.  “I wanted to give the statisticians of the world the chance to make their own critical analysis of the probabilities on this one.  Plus I am working on patenting the software that makes instantaneous analysis of news releases.  For a small monthly fee, a subscriber is able to see the probabilities of the truthfulness of all news stories.   All of the world’s citizens will know with some degree of probability the truth of a story so that they don’t spontaneously erupt into some deadly show of emotion that is unjustified just because somebody released some pathetic film or Coptic gnostic gobbledegook.  My program is called Serius Truth.”

    George De Vereanim, curator of Società per lo Studio della Propaganda Religiosa in Cypress believes that the release of the anti-Islamic film by Coptic Christians and the simultaneous release of the  very short reference to Jesus' wife by Harvard's Professor King to be "the kind of synergystic inflamatory news release that our organization has studied through the years and often perpetuated by those with an unexpressed unilateral ambition for controlling a region.  This sets into motion tensions to justify some other action, usually military, to line the pockets of the weapons dealers who make money on both sides of any conflict and who live far away from the fields of battle drinking champagne, eating caviar and watching style shows with Islamic Royals."

New IPhone Flubs Mapping Function

IPhone Maps Needs a Patch

by C. Severenson Johnson for CPW News Services

     While thousands of buyers stand in line to purchase the new IPhone, many other purchasers have noticed that the map function of the new phone does not work.   In comparison to Goggle’s map function, the IPhone map function often misses the mark leading the traveler to the wrong location or to no location at all.

     “It doesn’t’ matter that aspects of the IPhone don't work.  People want the IPhone.  They are loyal to the idea of the IPhone, even when the device is flawed.”

     Fred La Joya  of the group Flaws In Cultural Conditioning, said “when it comes to people’s own cultural heritage it’s the same thing.  People are blinded by some features of their own cultural, religious or racial heritage in spite of the fact that these loyalties no longer serve a larger good.  What good is it to wholly embrace anything when aspects of that heritage don’t  serve any real purpose.  What greater purpose is there than to put you on the human map?”

     Gerhardt Koke Rhineholdt, program director for Flaws in Cultural Conditioning, says that the programs he has designed for the group build awareness of limitation in blind allegiance.  “I’m German and we pride ourselves in being excellent engineers.  Our automobiles are marvels of engineering perfection, well, semi-perfection, but in the end they are all four wheels under a soot chugging, carbon monoxide coughing killing machine.   They may race you to the local hospital to when you've had a heart attack from eating too much and walking too little, but at what price? They spill their toxins into the air instead of into a concentration camp shower.  A whole new way of looking at cars must take place before the kind of needed changes.  I'd recommend passing a law that makes it illegal to build cars in any style other than the shape of cigarette.  We know that cigarettes are cancer puff sticks and dangerous to your health.  We put it on the package, but a bright new red Masserati, Mercedes or BMW masks what it really is and does.   Thank you Sigmund Freud, Ed Bernays and Albert Lasker, the triplet siblings of Wall Street's high priests, the mad men of Madison Avenue.  While German mechanics use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts on most cars, Mercedes are built with each bolt aligning to its own forged torque level indicator on each bolt head and engine.  On the other hand, just because we know how to engineer effective high quality tools, that doesn’t mean that we always use them correctly.  Take our chemical engineers, for example.  Zyklon B was a wonderful rat poison, but it should never have been used on people just because IG Farben made it.   Methadone is a wonderful substitute for opium, morphine and heroin, but just because the IG Farben chemists synthesized it  from chemicals doesn’t mean that those nations that have traditionally made the non-synthetic forms from the poppy plant… Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Indo-China and other areas associated with religious terrorism should fund their cultural traditions with the sale of these products that inevitably enslave another.“

     Paddy O’Malley, the group’s secretary, said he joined when he was tired of hearing that his Irish heritage was known for great whiskey distilling providing his cousins fortunes during Prohibition, but also made them great lushes who in O’Malley’s words “are always testing their products far too much.  Particularly on weekends.”

     Wesley Butler, whose family traces its heritage to a close knit company of swinging butlers who served the Tudor kings and queens of England, said “We watched how Henry VIII would swing from his stag horn chandelier before plopping down on top of one of the Bolynn girls and while following his example is what created our family, it’s not something that we are proud of."

     Mohammed Hussein Iman, the group’s treasurer, said “I began to question blind allegiance to cultural heritage when my eight sisters were circumcised without sterile instruments or anesthetics.  I asked myself “how can this be when there’s all those poppies?  So then I began to question the need for that elective surgery when there were so many children with hair lips.  When you've gotta have an Iman for this and an Iman for that, keepin' up with the Imans is just not where it's at.”

     La Hoya admitted that he is most troubled by plastic pink flamingoes in the front of his mother’s pink and orange house, but that he would never apologize for the music of Tomas Jobim.  “And I don’t think that Gypsies should apologize for the music of D’jango Reinhardt or the Gypsy Kings,” said La Hoya.  "And the proudest aspect of my Spanish culture is the lessons learned from Cabaza de Vaca, who did not apologize for the Spanish knowledge of fine steel sword making, but who laid it down after his journey's from Florida to Mexico and back to Spain using only his wits.  He was a modern Renaissiance man who knew that living by the sword means non-sustainability and a living hell on earth.  Now, excuse.  I have to go and get one of those new IPhones," said La Hoya.

Papyrus Discovery By Harvard's Karen L. King

 

     Harvard Divinity School Professor Karen L. King has triggered the most powerful new archaeological discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls, but it’s not what you think.

     Her small 2^nd Century papyrus of a Coptic Christian reference to Jesus having a wife is interesting, but pales in comparison to what her connections to Harvey Cox have done to open our eyes to Cox’s 1999 article in The Atlantic, now a classic, titled The Market As God.   While if it were provable,  King’s papyrus might go a long way in helping Ron Brown sell more copies of The Da Vinci Code, its great impact is in shining a new light on Cox.

     Professor King, a Brown University graduate, occupies the oldest endowed academic chair in the U.S., The Hollis Chair established in 1721 at Harvard and previously held by Professor Harvey Cox the chair of the religion department at Harvard.   Cox has provided Americans with the equivalent of a Nostradamus-like prophecy concerning events in the U.S. stock market from 1999 to today.    While Professor King’s discovery points a finger to challenges to Christian tradition, women’s’ rights, Coptic Christianity’s place in history beyond making inflammatory anti-Islamic films, it also fingers Cox for anyone who wants to more fully understand what is happening in the modern world since 2008 when the wizards of Wall Street led by their high priest, Henry Paulson, called for a season of national penance, contrition and obedience.  The deity of the Market demanded it according to Paulson.

     Since the argument from design no longer proves its existence, it is fast becoming a postmodern deity---beloved in spite of the evidence.  Alan Greenspan demonstrated this tempered faith in testimony before Congress last October (1998).  A leading hedge fund had just lost billions of dollars shaking market confidence and precipitating calls for new federal regulations.  Greenspan, usually Delphic in his comments, was decisive.  He believed that regulation would only impede these markets, and that they should continue to be self-regulated.  True faith, St. Paul tells us, is the evidence of things not seen.

     "Beloved" then, was the God of the Market, when Cox wrote of it in 1999, one year before the 2000 Presidential election when GWB was gearing up to grab the White House.  In Texas David and Charles Koch were depending on GWB to bring to the Oval Office a downward pressure on federal regulators who were seeking a 97 count indictment against the oil polluters and a $350 million fine, just as their brother, Bill Koch, along with J. Howard Marshall, III, was seeking to take over Koch Industries by charging that his siblings had made fortunes from oil beneath public and American Indian lands. Governor George W. Bush supported fining Koch for releasing 15 times the allowable Benzine levels into the environment as Governor, but as soon as he was appointed President on December 12, 2000, Koch's fortunes changed at the environment's expense.  As the Bush administration polluted the political and economic landscape so it was also supporting the gassing of the local Texas populace so long as it was something less than Bhopal and so long as the culprits could remain upwind in McClennan County, Dallas County, Washington or Kennebunkport.
     David and Charles Koch's local representatives comforted themselves with the notion that the prevailing winds would keep the toxic cloud away from their front door, too.  "You must break some eggs to make an omelet," they reasoned and they wanted their share of it, even if they were eating it from a precarious position atop a wobbly perch.
    Others who were not so fortunate as to live up wind from the Koch refineries, slime pits or bung holes, went activist after noticing the high incident of cancer and birth defects among their own.  Suzie Canales, Hilton Kelley and others started walking the fence line with gas sniffing computers that chronicled the state regulators' myopia. Ironically, Suzie Canales, whose sister died of cancer at 42 years old and who grew up in a nearby "race based" neighborhood, shares a last name with the lead attorney for Koch brothers in their 1999 showdown with the EPA which changed after the 2000 election from the 97 count indictment to only 1 in U.S. District Judge Jack's court.  The Congressman and his ancestor are one of Texas' large Spanish Land Grant families, Tony Canales, who also represented another oilman, Oscar Wyatt in his "UN Food for Oil Scandal" conviction.  Sadly, the congressman's own young granddaughter would develop brain cancer and like so many near the leaky refinery suffer higher than average medical problems associated with areas of high risks from petro-chemical discharges.
     With this level of economic and political pressure it was no wonder that others like Alberto Gonzales, Dan Morales, or even U.S. Army General Ricardo Sanchez, the commander of the Iraq multinational force and overseer of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, from Rio Grande City, Texas,  followed the lead of the prevailing cultural climate. While Koch Industries is a privately held company, their Libertarian views with an emphasis on unrestricted free market Capitalism make the Koch companies like a choir singing from the NY Stock Exchange's balcony during a Christmas Eve candlelight service... far removed from the explosive vapors leaking from a Koch pipeline.
    In Madison, Wisconsin just after Scott Walker was elected Governor, Koch Industries opened a lobbying office not far from the state capital.  It was widely reported that the company was seeking ways to influence a loosening of water quality legislation for its Georgia Pacific plants.  One protester said that the he felt that Scott Walker is part of the Walker/Bush galaxy of dark stars and that the body of the 19th Century slaving filibusterer, William Walker would prove it.  William Walker died in Central America trying to annex a location for a Pacific/Atlantic canal after failing to take Baja by force.  He had hopes of controlling the opium market from the Middle East and Orient and of expanding slavery throughout the region of the Caribbean.  
     "We should have his body exhumed from its grave in Honduras and sampled for DNA to match with the Walker/Bush clan.  Just like matching Thomas Jefferson to Sally Hemming's family.  The Cubans knew that Operation Zapata or the Bay of Pigs, named for CIA director, George Herbert Walker Bush's Zapata Petroleum Company, was not an enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine as much as a reincarnation of William Walker's old expansionist ambitions," said another outspoken critic. "We forget that initially Fiedel Castro appealed to the U.S. for help in establishing a new government in Cuba swept clean of the corruption that Bautista's regime had nurtured," he continued.
     The Beast's editor, Ian Murphy, made that now famous phone call to Governor Scott Walker identifying himself as a "David Koch" to which Walker reports like a dutiful doorman.  "So long as you can stay upwind of the sludge and gaseous vapors you can rake in the bucks and avoid the downside, but they're quickly running out of places to hide.  Yosemite, Yellow Stone National, the mountains of Colorado where Global Warming is, in the opinion of most responsible scientists, triggering unprecedented wild fires," said another critic who sees the world's rush toward destruction as global mental illness.
     "Beloved" was the stock market in 1999 as was the God of the Market.  Hated now.  Hated by the Occupy Wall Street Movement.   It’s Cox who is Delphic in a prophetic, but not a stoic, way.  Greenspan whose October 1998 testimony became known on Wall Street as the "Greenspan Put" and guaranteed that the contrived housing bubble would not burst on Greenspan's watch just as he had bailed out the S&L's with taxpayer's funds a decade earlier, is anything but decisive after 2008 just as GWB's deeds really come home to roost on the Wall Street bull's broad back.  We have that little Coptic papyrus to thank for reminding us.   Greenspan’s words, in light of Cox’s piercing assessment in 1999….almost ten years before the golden calf’s meltdown….come back to haunt him. 
     “My view was flawed,” said Greenspan like Aaron before Moses as the wizards' sacred admonitions continued to trigger the outpouring of little papyrus-like bills bearing "In God We Trust", but failing to fully identity which God.  Greenspan would admit after the Paulson bail out that morphed from a toxic asset rescue to bundles of cash sitting in the bankers vaults, but unavailable for business development, "I was wrong".  Meanwhile, those little "prayer cloths" await a new sacramental moment when they will be presented to appease the God of the Market.   The God of the Market's holy rubrics and protocols only allow the high priests to enter the Holy of Holies to offer the people's hard earned and graciously returned sacrifices, delivered by Washington's bearer of the sacred Arch of the Covenant.  Outside at the base of the Temple steps are the  Babylonian-style "Occupiers" calling for a new overthrow and exile of the Greenspans, Paulsons, Geitners, Bushes, Cheneys and other priestly families to Babylon where on the willows there they can hang up their lyres and liars. 
     Brooksley Born had offered in 1998 to tie the knots. As chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or CFTC, Born was warning that there wasn't any responsible regulation of the market in 1998. Michael Greenberger, Born's Chief of Staff summed up Alan Greenspan's position: "Greenspan didn't believe that fraud was something that needed to be enforced, and he assumed she probably did. And of course, she did."  The high priests of Wall Street, suspending the Golden Rule in exchange for the Ruling Gold pressured the Golden Arch bearers at Washington through the financial lobby to pass legislation prohibiting regulation of derivatives by Born's agency.  If the Temple wanted to sell sickly sacrificial pidgeons and somnolent ducks, it didn't need Born butting in trying to sweep the house clean.  Non-regulating regulations passed by the Congress and pharoah's pyramid went higher and higher for the better part of another decade as Greenspan saw himself not as Moses, but as Joseph wearing a sparkling, eye-dazzling coat of many colors beneath his charcoal Brooks Brothers business suit. Born resigned on June 1, 1999.   Like all prophets, the true truth tellers get stoned. 

    Meanwhile, this week, Mitt Romney's co-campaign chair, Tim Pawlenty, resigned to join the high priests of Wall Street as CEO of Financial Services Round Table.  Mr. Romney congratulated him for his service to Mitt's campaign and said that he understood Mr. Pawlenty wanting to take his concern for the integrity of the market to New York and Washington, while comedian Bill Mahr said "one douche bag leaves another douche bag to join some other douche bags."  Mr. Romney did not mention that in 2001 when Pawlenty was gearing up for his run in the 2002 Minnesota elections that he was citied for taking $4,500 a month as a consultant and legal adviser to a pay-phone company called New Access, a NewTel subsidiary.  New Access had thousands of customers in seven states which they had signed up for local and long-distance service without their permission.   An approach from which Hank Paulson would take lessons in his 2008 priestly pronouncements backed as he was by fellow high priests, Judges from the Supreme Court like Antonin Scalia who defended the court's 2000 Florida election decision telling the unsigned citizens to "get over it", and by the first non-elected president in U.S. history, the fortunate son of another high priest, who committed the nation's warrior class to endless conflict with the words "bring it on."

     Thank you professor King. Thank you Coptic Christians. We could have gone another century before the word "Coptic" appeared in two articles in the same week with one reminding us that Jesus may have been more like one of us than tradition has helped us realize.   And who knew that modern Coptics not unlike Hollywood filmmakers Mayer, Speilberg and Corman, like a good story even  if it inflames and is neither an "A" or "B" film, but much, much further down the alphabet. 
      Above all, thank you Harvey Cox.  Thank you Atlantic.   And reading now the papyrus and the reference to Jesus' wife?  Were she alive, Professor King,  in that nine plus year period between 1999 and 2008 or that decade from 1998 to 2008 when Greenspan spoke and then swallowed his words, would she have been hankering for a bigger house if Greenspan had set the interest rates low enough? If she and Jesus had no mortgage in a state that prohibited home equity loans would she have pushed prayers upward to change the rules in order to do a nice new renovation?   Which God would she have thanked for her new "blessing"? The God of the Golden Rule or the God of the Ruling Gold? Would she be asking....seriously asking...."What would my husband, Jesus, do?"  Being a carpenter did he teach her how to swing her own hammer or did she buy into the Roman's notion that bigger was always better and those old ceramic counter tops, while functional, aren't like that wonderful quarried and polished granite, a by-product of gold, iron and other mining in distant lands and secured like oil fields with deadly weapons?

Ra Ra Rah Rah!

NEW RULES: ARON RA CANNOT DRESS LIKE ANTON LAVEY OR MICHAEL AQUINO

By Quinton Sagan Ferguson for CPW News Services

     It is not enough that across the country local school boards are facing the wholesale extraction of religion from class text books.  Now they must accept spokespersons for atheism who, unlike Madalyn Murray O’Hare who dressed like a frumpy church lady, now dress like Anton LaVey or Michael Aquino.  Creationism is long on its way out, not jiving with modern geology and other sciences.  Everybody knows that.  Evolution is in, but religionists have a really hard time assimilating evolution into Darwin’s simple doctrine that shows us where we have come from, but not where we are going.  Would it not be simple to suggest that Christianity is not unlike Carl Sagan’s concept in the film Contact, where like other celestial beings have eventually figured out not to commit mass suicide so must we.  How simple could it be to suggest that Sagan’s vision looks incredibly close to a guileless guy named Jesus who like so many other close encounters seems to have materialized out of nowhere....or at least half out of nowhere? 

     Enter Aron Ra whose appearances at panel discussions like The Texas Freedom Foundation’s meetings leave the distinct impression that all other panel members are enamored of Ra’s rah-rah for atheism as they make stoic books ends on his voluminous mutterings.   “Unlike Sagan’s vision where evolution leads to the conclusion that a policy of “first do no harm” is universal, Ra always leaves me with an uneasy feeling wondering…..does he give a  seductive  first impression of 'first do no harm' followed by a …..SURPRISE!  Kind of like that old film 'Soylent Green is People!' or the Twilight Zone's episode 'It's a cookbook!'” said one uneasy attendee.

     "Admittedly, when it comes to a massive heart attack like the kind that claimed the life of atheist comedian George Carlin in Santa Monica, California where he was taken to St. John's Hospital where the new born nursery is named for Maria Kennedy Shriver and where Katie Holmes went to deliver Tom Cruises' children only after not finding a Scientologist hospital in the immediate area, so may Ra have trouble finding a "first do no harm" atheist hospital.   Or any atheist hospital at all," said John Klempt of the Association of Atheist Hospitals in Washington D.C...  Klempt, a semi-retired Halloween costume store rental owner, was hired as the association's inaugural President where he is working pro bono on developing a membership list.

     So what exactly is Ra?  When a fellow panelist conjures up a vision of himself and Ra with Aleister Crowley, one has to wonder.  “I think that Ra could do a great remake of the House on Haunted Hill or a movie about the mentor of the Memphis Three, but he definitely must watch his cholesterol,” said one concerned and half-starry-eyed panel attendee.

     “Why can’t atheists just be normal people who don’t believe that there is a Supreme Being of any kind.  Whenever I see a lawyer who dresses like a priest, I think  ‘a frustrated priest wanna be,’” said Marlin B. Waters of the Center for Non-Transcendent Visioning in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  “The guy should have been a priest, or better yet a very high priest of American culture, an investment banker with Goldman Sachs.  The thing that troubles me about Ra-Ra….I call him Ra-Ra…..is that he looks in every way like he’s ready to do a black mass and that he’s got all the necessary equipment from Newt eyes to goat goads and a sacrificial subject in the back of his black on black stretch limo-hearse out in the parking lot."

     “School kids find that going to classes with a person as bizarre as Ra-Ra make the generally boring school day exciting.  Cherry bombs in the toilets, throwing little Jimmy Burns into the women’s locker room wearing only his jock strap and holding the door shut, pulling the fire alarms or dressing in all black with floor length dusters and a neck tattoo of a skull and crossbones and the word’s 'you’re next’….that’s what makes a school worth going to.  Halloween everyday,” said a self-confessed free thinker at the TFF panel discussion.  “And would that be so much worse than where my old man went to a private religious school in Philadelphia and where he was passed around between Father O’Clanahan and Father O’Malley like a lolly pop at a munchkin rally?” asked Waters.

   “I’ve never seen Ra-Ra hanging out with Edred Thorsson, the head of Anton LaVeys’ turned Michael Aquino’s Temple of Set that moved to Austin from San Francisco, but they all obviously shop for clothes at the same place,” said the young man with shoulder length jet black hair, black leather pants, boots, jacket and pentagram earrings.  "He reminds me of Albert Pike reincarnated," said another.

     As thousands of Saudi Muslims circled the holy Mecca shrine, they held up match sticks to symbolize Salmon Rushdie's penis burned in effigy.  "We thought about burning sticks, boards, pencils, hot dogs, but hot dogs are made from pork and so we don't have them though some suggest veggie dogs and so we finally we settled on a tiny little match stick. He doesn't deserve bigger," said Fauzi Fawzani, an Arab coffee shop owner in Mecca.

     Rushdie has shrugged off renewed threats resulting from the release in the U.S. of a 13 minute film trailer produced by a Coptic Christian.  The violent reaction in Lybia to the film's release was responsible for the death of four U.S. embassy staff members in the worst violence against American diplomats in decades.

Elephants Have New Worries

Drone Elephant Safaris Lead To Nevada Predator Bust

Tanzanian elephant killed by armchair
hunters half a world away.

By Julia E. Hoover for CPW News Services

     Authorities raided the DSS Inc., Drone Safari Services, Inc., offices near Indian Springs, Nevada on Monday charging Simon Megs, a military drone pilot, with selling arm chair safaris to two Omaha, Nebraska business men.

     Roger Bekins and Sam Pakins paid $12,000 each for the opportunity to remotely hunt an elephant in the wilds of Tanzania using a special version of a Predator Drone that was apparently reported as downed by a RPG in Afghanistan. 

   “We believe that the drone had been flown by Megs and others from Afghanistan to a remote airport in Tanzania where it was put into an underground, back channel hunting service created by Megs and several unidentified financial backers,” said Umbazzi Boswanni, Deputy Warden of the Tanzanian Game Preservation Commission.

     “Wire taps at the offices of DSS where Bekins and Pakins popped a cork on a bottle of champagne as they downed glass after glass of Dom Perignon while smoking embargoed Cuban cigars and eating Russian caviar  while sitting in matching red leather wing back chairs in front of a huge HD TV, tells it all," said Boswanni.
     
   “They’re not drones.  They’re sky crooners.  They’re music to my ears,” said Megs in the police recordings as Bekins and Pakins congratulated each other for their excellent technique in pushing their matching red push button triggers at about the same time.  Twin 50 cal. machine guns left the bull elephant in a bloody heap near where he had stood guard over a clueless pack of playful pachyderms according to the Megs recordings. 

     Megs, who recently joined other drone pilots to allay the fears of U.S. citizens concerned that the robotic aerial weapons might be turned on them, said “I’m am completely innocent of any wrongdoing.  I love elephants.  Elephants are my friends.  Plus I’m a Republican.  I’d never hurt the symbol of my political party.”

Remote Bombing Booming

Robotic Warfare Guaranteed

     Using the logic that “every weapon ever devised has been used”, developers of smart weapons like the Predator Drone airplanes used to fight terrorists in Iraq or Afghanistan have seen the use of these weapons jump from a handful to thousands in a few short years.  “High tech death is doubling-down,” said one drone software designer and children’s gaming expert.

     Mickey Ratswaller, a computer gaming expert with FunTime SkyWackers, LLC in Las Vegas, Nevada says his new software for children will help them to begin early to compete for the high-paying seats at the controls of the next generations of super drones.

     “We’re talking quality of life.  There’s nothing more exciting than finishing a hot cup of coffee and breakfast, driving to your job and filling your day with flying body parts half a world away.  If we had these new weapons a hundred and fifty years ago, “How the West Was Won” would have been a much shorter movie,” said Ratswaller, whose cousin, Simon Megs, is a killer drone operator in Afghanistan.

     Megs has been front and center in a drone incident in the U.S. that has U.S. citizens fearful that the new technology will be used against them.

     Meanwhile, security expert, Marvin P. Perts, fears that a small drone in the hands of a Colombine killer like Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold could have disastrous implications for U.S. teachers and school administrators.  “When the mayor of Chicago heard that the teachers there made an average salary of $76,000 per year he surely thought of how these brilliant weapons could be used to get people to go back to work for less money,” said Perts.  "But, of course, the highest and best use would be to get college football coaches like, Mack Brown, of the University of Texas, to work for half of his $5.7 million dollars, but it will be the other professors and coaches who will be flying those drones," said Perts.

     Nate Boyer, Coach Brown's "deep snapper" and the youngest member of the U.S. military's Delta Force, had no comment, but former Delta Force soldier and Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, said "robotics will make all Special Forces units a thing of the past.  Keep deep snappin', Nate."

Betty Megs is a freelance technology writer living in Nevada.  Here husband Simon, is  a drone "pilot" and their son, Simon Megs, Jr., age 5, has just completed Ratswaller's FunTime SkyWacker, Jr. accreditation by receiving the first perfect score since the program's beginning in 2008.

Death By Deletion Or Misunderstanding?

Adventist Health Care, Cerner and An Accusation of Death By Deletion

Patricia Moleski claims death by deletion.

By Phil L. Opeiam for CPW News Service

     When a Florida medical records supervisor refused to delete hospital records where she worked for Adventist Health Systems, a not-for-profit health care organization of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, she eventually lost her job.

     Her on-line video has made her case available to the world and legal experts and medical care analysts have given her testimony close scrutiny.

     “I have a problem with anyone who starts out claiming that they are a Christian who wanted to do their Christian duty only to find out that the hospital is doing everything it can to limit its exposure to liability.  How can you continue to run a hospital if a little error here or there or a little oversight every now and then opens the entire hospital system to a massive financial liability?” asked hospital consultant with HHH Partners LLC, George Sievers, of Boston, Massachusetts.

    Patty Moleski claims that it was more than a “little oversight”.  When a patient with no family was given what Mrs. Moleski claims was an overdose of a psychotropic drug, he jumped from the 7^th floor of the hospital’s parking garage.  Unable to  walk to the ER for additional treatment and pronounced dead at the scene, the hospital, she says, evaporated one record and replaced it with a record showing that the man went AMA, a technical term for “against medical advice”, and that  he left the hospital of his own accord.  Without saying it, Moleski claims that the patient did not leave on his own, but was following whatever voices the improper dosing, now hidden from the computerized records, was telling him.

    In another incident, Mrs. Moleski claims that a baby’s prescribed vitamin K injection, a routine for newborns, was recorded by an Adventist Hospital RN in her Cerner computer program, but the program failed to record the entry and that a second dosing caused the infant’s death.

     “There is no indication that a double dosing of vitamin K is an automatic overdosing,” said one pharmacology consultant who desired to remain anonymous.

   “I am sure that whatever records were submitted to the Cerner program are still there somewhere and cannot be totally erased.  People need to be more trusting of authority figures in their lives.  This is the result of an erosion of disciplined thinking and a callous disregard of following the dictates of the system, albeit a religious organization, that was kind enough to give Mrs. Moleski a job shredding and shedding records,” said Sister Sylvia Goebbels, of the Sisters of the Holy Novices, a religious order known for its loyalty and devotion to faithful service and unquestioned submission to authority.  

    John Hammersmith, an analyst for The Center for The Study of Deviant Record Keeping in Silver Springs, Maryland and a former CPA for Arthur Anderson assigned to Enron before its collapse, said “Before my religious conversion I, too, believed as Sister Goebbels, that records cannot be erased and that they always leave an electronic signature, but of course the 2000 presidential election in the state of Florida where Mrs. Moleski is making her claim is also the home of Governor Richard Scott, whose hospital system received the biggest Medicare-Medicaid fraud fine in U.S. history at $1.7 billion dollars.  The investigation into the computer voting machines in that state suggest that computers can make excellent black holes for the very short-term storage of unwanted records.  Mrs. Moleski should ask the Governor to give his opinion in her case.  She could also ask Mr. Patterson the CEO of Cerner.  Admittedly his company hires very young people just out of college who often complain that they can never quite tell just what their work is contributing to the overall mission of the company and of their individual work units….kind of like how Josiah Wedgewood and Henry Ford kept workers in the dark about their production processes, but, hey, this is how capitalism works,” said Mr. Hammersmith.  Hammersmith also noted the Congressional testimony of Clint Curtis the NASA and Exxonmobil computer engineer who provided computer "vote flipping" software in the 2000 Presidential elections as well as the HBO documentary Hacking Democracy which chronicled the problems with Diebold's voter machines. 

     Neal L. Patterson, CEO of Cerner, found his stock dropping by 20% in three days after news of an email he had sent to employees stating that the parking lot of the Kansas City company would be the yardstick of the company’s success indicating that it should be “substantially full at 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.” and that it should be “half full on Saturdays.”

    “Bye-bye any thought of a forty hour work week,” said Hammersmith.  “But more importantly is the fact that there are so few long-term employees.  That means that the turnover is high….a good thing if institutional memory is, like a pesky medical record, a liability issue.”  In addition, Hammersmith was concerned that on July 23, 2012 the entire Cerner system went down for six hours leaving many hospitals and physicians flying bind and nurses scurrying to recreate patient records from memory.  "The Cerner system crash this past summer is something that could happen to all remote hosting and cloud systems. As long as there's humans interfacing with machines you can have accidents and purposeful misuse," said Hammersmith citing a recent article on the Cerner crash.

     Hammersmith who watched the Moleski YouTube testimony said only “First, she needs to hear the lawyers summation in the movie The Verdict...heck, watch the whole movie.  She needs to better explain how the death of the infant was related to the hospital's risk management programs and how the loss of that record like the reported shredding or deleting of hard copies of RiskMaster documents were related.  Otherwise, it looks like the RN may have failed to record dosage and subsequent overdosing incident and blamed it on a computer glitch.  Did the RN keep any evidence of her record input or have a witness to her claim?  Then, Mrs. Moleski needs to trim her bangs, drop the eye shadow, quit leading with here religiosity, look straight into the camera, get the RN's, a CNA, a janitor who witnessed the events to join her in her next  case and video....or this one if the statute of limitation hasn't expired... and then really lower the boom with overwhelming force....kind of like the Army uses.  Otherwise, everything she said is totally possible given the Spanish Inquisition, Robert Tilton and Jim and Tammy Faye Baker, not to mention Nazi Dr. Joseph Mengele who was known to make his patients eat the records he wished to have disappear.”

Embassy Target for Muslim Emotions, But Why?

Hillary Clinton’s Connections To Muslim Brotherhood Blamed for MB’s Success in Egyptian Elections and Angry Reaction

 By Farhad Faruthma for CPW News Service

     Huma Mahmood Abedin is a US State Department chief of staff for Hillary Rodham Clinton. Several prominent Republican have claimed that Abedin is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood through her family. John McCain, John Boener, Scott Brown and Ed Rollins have defended Abedin against the criticism. After the embassy attacks on the anniversary of 911 will McCain, Boener, Brown and Rollins change their tune?

     Their support raises a critical question given former CIA agent Robert Baer’s book Sleeping With the Devil. In this book Baer claims that rank and file CIA agents had nothing in their files on Al Qaeda before 911 and that Al Qaeda was spawned by the Muslim Brotherhood in Hosni Mubarak’s repressive Egypt before the US involvement in the fight against the USSR in its occupation of Afghanistan. Because Al Qaeda fought alongside the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan, they often did the U.S.’s bidding across the Arab world with Osama Bin Laden’s family the leading engineering and architectural family for Saudi Royals. That means that contrary to popular misunderstanding, the Muslim Brotherhood has had a very chummy relationship with the key leadership of America’s largest intelligence organizations including the CIA and NSA.

     Baer recounts the fact that CIA agent Thomas Tweeton’s son in law, Matt Gannon, also a CIA agent was returning to the U.S. from the Middle East in 1988 to press his bosses at the CIA on just why the rank and file agents weren’t aware of this special secret relationship. Gannon’s plane never made it to the U.S. It was Pan Am 103 which conveniently exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, bombed by a terrorist from Libya. The bomber was returned from imprisonment in England following a British announcement that his health warranted his release. “If our pawns, the Muslim Brotherhood which created the monsters that turned on us, Al Qaeda, are controlling Egypt and the whole region, then what exactly are we dealing with when Muslims attack our embassies?” asked Portnoy Seather president of the Council For Guileless Transparency in Bethesda, Maryland.  "Ask Wael Ghonin, an Egyptian non-fundamentalist Muslim and co-founder of Google to give his unique insights to the chain of events there.  Ask Robert Baer," said Seather.

   

    

TEMPLE OF THE TAME TONGUES CHIDES TERRY JONES

TTT CHURCH HAMMERS DOWN THE PROBLEM

Rip Alton Pile for CPW News Services

     Members of the Temple of the Tame Tongues, in Wagsville, Tennessee, saddened by the U.S. pastor of the Dove Outreach Center who encouraged the burning of Korans and supported the anti-Mohamed film that led to the death of four U.S. embassy employees in Libya on Wednesday, have submitted to the church’s highest and  holiest sacrament of pennance…."The Sacrament of Tongue Taming".

      “We do not believe that it is proper to antagonize people of another faith.  Jesus didn’t go around pointing a finger at Zoroastrians or urinating on Greek or Roman statues of their gods,” said Betty Freedell.   According to the church’s interpreter, Mildred Lipton who had difficulty with Freedell’s pronunciation of Zowhooooassstweeuns and urrunnnnaaaahhatte, said “our members felt that we needed to make a powerful statement of solidarity with other religions that deserve to be treated with respect.  We also feel that Rev. Jones in honoring that long established U.S. custom of 'keeping up with the Jones' should keep up with us by submitting to our holy sacrament....'The Sacrament of Tongue Taming',” said Lipton who nearly interpreted Freedell's stressed verbalization as "Tha Wackwamunt of Taaang Taaaenng."



Pastor Terry Jones at the center of
tongue wagging controversy. Jones
refused to keep up with the Tongue
Tamers by submitting to their sacrament.

      “It was a shame,” said Lipton, “that the actions of a few lame brains would have this effect among the Muslims, but the Roman Empire frequently found their ambassadors heads returned to Caesar in a fly covered, blood stained reed basket.  I was watching the movie Gladiator the other night, you know, the one with Russell Crowe, that opens up with a group of Huns returning the Roman army’s ambassador  strapped to his horse minus the ambassador’s head.  Anyone who accepts the assignment knows that there is risk.  We Southerners didn’t like Yankees desecrating our most sacred treasure on their pursuit of a flat Southwest rail route to the Pacific from Southern ports.

“The Bible?” I asked.

“No. The Confederate flag,” said Lipton.

JAMES RASENBERGER Just In Time For Another Election

The Brilliant Disaster:  The Brilliant Deception

     by Winsip Custer CPW News Services

     James Rasenberger’s book The Brilliant Disaster was published by Simon & Schuster in 2011 almost 50 years after the Bay of Pigs invasion that cost President John F. Kennedy significant political capital only a year after his election.  That was then.  Today, according to a new book it was a “brilliant disaster”.  That was in April, 1961, but the build-up of the planned invasion had begun during the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration.
     Why Rasenberger’s new book on this well-worn story?  Why now, 50 years later on top of a heap of other books on the subject?  He has claimed that it is because it takes time for the dust to settle on history so that the real story can be told.  So what is new in the Rasenberger coverage of this tragic event?  That Kennedy was conflicted over it?  No.  That  there was anti-communist hysteria in the U.S.?  No.  That air support for the invasion was withheld by Kennedy who feared a world-wide negative reaction including a threat from the former Soviet Union?  No.
      There is only one conclusion that can be drawn.  Rasenberger’s book was designed to tweek history’s descended dust cloud, not to find the truth just under a thin layer of now settled and nearly transparent powder.  So where does he push the debris into a deeper camouflaging  hump?  There is only one place and that is in the assertion that the work of NY Times reporter, Paul P. Kennedy, was cover for the Bay of Pigs invasion force rather than a gum-shoe, on the ground, honest evaluation of a U.S. backed clandestine operation as chilling as a William Walker filibustering attempt or Ollie North’s Iran-Contra training camps in Belize on property provided by Coca-Cola, or the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses or the protracted war in Afghanistan on the argument that drone fly-bys are controlling terrorism.

     That Simon & Schuster published Rasenberger’s book is further witness to the fact that history is mythologized and that the truth, as Winston Churchill notes, “is always covered with a swarm of lies.”  In this case, the only new material in the entire book is one seemingly insignificant assertion.  One undocumented tweek in a book claiming to be based on recently unclassified material.  As Peter Brewton, the Houston Post reporter covering the 1980’s and 90’s Savings & Loan scandal discovered  in his investigative series turned book,  The Mafia, CIA and George Bush (NY, Shapolsky, 1992),  which was to have been released by Simon & Schuster well before the 1992 election, the same players in the S&L scandal were also key players in the  Iran-Contra scandal.  According to Brewton, Simon & Schuster had his book in the hopper and his editor was to have been the editor of Woodward and Bernstein’s All The President’s Men, Alice Mayhew. 
    Simon & Schuster was influenced, Brewton believed, by Hugh Leidtke, president of Pennzoil and George Herbert Walker Bush's close personal ally in Houston, Texas, in time to avoid any embarrassment for the 1992 campaign that included threats against Independent candidate, Ross Perot’s family.   Some have speculated that those threats were for Perot’s  inclusion of Vietnam veteran and outspoken Bush critic, Perot supporter Col. Bo Gritz, in Perot's 1992 presidential bid against both GHWB and Bill Clinton.  The well documented Mena, Arkansas drug connections to the CIA  as well as the CIA/Iran-Contra drug connection uncovered by reporter Gary Webb’s book Dark Alliance, have collaborated Gritz’s criticisms.  In addition, the key money laundering bank for the Contra operation was in Clinton's home state, not far from Mena in Little Rock, BCCI, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.
     It is widely reported that the  historical marriage between the CIA and Mafia can be traced to a CIA agent named Robert Maheu.  It is not known if Robert Maheu and Alice Mayhew are related, but the names share a common root and Robert and his son, Peter, started a Las Vegas global security company with the nephew of CIA director William Casey.  When called to testify in the Iran-Contra hearings, William Casey's speech became mysteriously unintelligible.  Robert Maheu had, after all, been the go-to-guy for the CIA/Mafia plot to kill Castro employing both the Chicago Mob and Las Vegas' Johnny Roselli.  Maheu was also the man responsible for recruiting what is known as the "Mormon Mafia" that surrounded Howard Hughes, former husband of Houston, Texas socialite and family namesake of Rice University, which Hughes also attended, Ella Rice.

     Paul P. Kennedy’s reporting in both The Nation and The NY Times gave America advanced warning of an impending clandestine invasion of Cuba from a secret base in Guatemala.  Was Paul P. Kennedy a member of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy family?   Was he seeking to garner public support for an alternative mission to Cuba?   A mission less violent for a nation whose many citizens had lived under years of organized crime and corruption of the Fulgencio Bautista regime? Cubans initially welcomed Castro’s arrival as a promise of a better day.    For the U.S. power elites who knew that the Kennedys had, like most of them, made their family wealth in smuggling, Paul P. Kennedy’s reporting may well have been a threat to the delicate concordat between dark family forces that aligned within traditionally Irish and Italian Catholic and Puritan Protestant New England enclaves.  The Irish with their own crime syndicate were sandwiched between the pinnacle New England Brahmin’s-Puritan Protestant-Ivy League-CIA based crime syndicate of the American establishment and the lowly Italian’s who along with the Jewish cabal of Meyer Lansky, had controlled Cuba under Bautista and would, as Peter Brewton showed in The Mafia, CIA and George Bush, frequently join forces to pull off an Operation Zapata, an S & L scandal, an Iran-Contra affair, a coup in Iran, Argentina or Chile, a civil-war in Iraq….any number of scourges that raped the average citizen regardless of their nationality.

      What does Rasenberger say of Paul P. Kennedy’s reporting?   With no footnote, no disclosure of the documentary proof that his publisher, Peter Brewton's would-be-publisher Simon & Schuster, said bolstered the book, The Brilliant Disaster makes this claims on page 107…..

     Reading on it turned out that the CIA had no reason to worry.  Paul Kennedy had been duped by his Guatemala sources.  The commandos were Guatemala soldiers.  Kennedy was told and their training was a purely defensive measure, undertaken in anticipation of an attack---from Cuba.  The CIA itself could not have devised a better cover story.
 

    The Bay of Pigs invasion team didn't need a better cover story.  They needed air cover.  If the secret base in Guatemala was such an effective ploy, why not go all the way?  Or at least half-way.  Guatemala military planes to provide what was essential?  What no pilots?  The CIA is good at providing them, too.  Remember Eugene Hausenfus?  JFK, the skipper of PT-109 surely knew the value of close air support.  Oh yes, but he was conflicted over Cuba and afraid of Cuban MIG's?  Or was he at odds with what looked to him like another William Walker filibustering attempt that made us no better than Castro or the Russians? 
  It is exactly here at page 107 that we would expect  to see the all new previously unavailable references to the recently unclassified material that Simon & Schuster promises in its Madison Avenue hype....hype for an author whose books have in turn hyped Madison Avenue and Wall Street skyscrapers, the place of Henry Ford in American folklore that never mentions his dependence on the collective of American laborers and tax-paid roadways over which his cars travel.  Instead we get only a footnote referencing another NY Times reporter who "seems to imply" not a Paul P. Kennedy duping, but a below par "CIA cover story knowingly".  So Rasenberger states of Harrison Salisbury:

      So which was it Mr. Rasenberger?  A duping or a below par cover story?  The subsequent events of JFK's life indicate all too strongly that it was neither, but in fact something far clearer.  In fact, Paul P. Kennedy had begun working on this rumored CIA operation much earlier having published on November 19, 1960 in The Nation the article titled "Are We Training Cuban Guerrillas?".
     Simon & Schuster's own web site reviews of The Brilliant Disaster unflinchingly lay it out there:  "What I love about Jim Rasenberger's richly detailed, startlingly revisionist account of the Bay of Pigs invasion is his sheer storytelling ability, the wonderful, steady march of plot and counterplot, of heroes and foils. His tale is chock full of larger-than-life characters," writes young Austin, Texas author, S.C. Gwynne, who writes not unlike his fellow Austin, Texan and Bush apologist, Lawrence Wright, whose Pulitizer Prize winning book, The Looming Tower, was awarded its prize in spite of glaring omissions in the story of the 911 disaster.  "Startlingly revisionist," is as exact as any review can be of this book.  And "chock full of larger-than-life charcters" is in keeping with another Simon & Schuster formula.

      Rasenberger will never write a book titled The 1930's, like his book 1908, but exposing the American Fascist's support of Hitler's Germany and the "business plot" that would have had the larger than life two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner, General Smedley Darlington Butler, a self-confessed pawn of the "National City Bank Boy's" and their war profiteering backers the proposed leader for a planned overthrow of FDR.  Who made up the plot?   Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, John Burroughs, Charles Lindberg and Prescott Bush among others....and a plot that no one has....in true revisionist fashion....ever heard of.   Simon & Schuster did not publish Butler's book War Is A Racket.   Neither did Alice Mayhew ever edit a book by Robert Maheu about his role as a Canadian Nazi sympathizer during World War II who infiltrated the Germany American Bund that so appealed to these business leaders and coup plotters.  It would have made an excellent read along with the work of O. John Rogge who investigated the group for the Justice Department.

    According to Stephen Brill (How Woodward Went Wayward, 1999), Alice Mayhew' genius was that she pushed Woodward and Bernstein to be dramatic in a big way.  A big story with big personalities would sell.  The Nixon break-ins?  How was Brewton's book about the intricate connections between the Iran-Contra players with what we now know had a drug connection and their involvement in the S&L Scandal NOT a bigger story?   Iran-Contra's leadership went straight to the White House, but stopped short of indictments of Reagan and Bush whose Bay of Pigs connections have been laid out in the documentary Dark Legacy.  That legacy would morph from the Bay of Pigs into the Iran-Contra scandal, but stopped short of impeachment for Reagan and Bush and only indicted Oliver North, John Poindexter, Eliot Abrams and Casper Weinberger.  Since then North's shredding expert and secretary, Fawn Hall, married the former agent of The Doors lead singer, Jim Morrison, whose father was took the lead as the Navy Admiral was in charge of the LBJ's Gulf of Tonkin Affair triggering the escalation of the Vietnam War.   The attorney for the U.S. Justice Department that helped to firewall the Iran-Contra investigation,  Michael Bromwich, went on to investigate the corruption created at Houston's Harris County Medical Examiners Office, then spring boarded into the investigation of BP's Deep Water Horizon disaster that had all the earmarks of a ship wrecking and salvage operation. 
     Was Nixon who disliked the drama of dancing around an owl in the Bohemian Grove in bed sheets and calling the powerful frolickers "the most faggety goddamn thing you can imagine" enough to brand him a hot literary target by the power elites especially given his leadership in closing down the Vietnam War which Gritz confirmed had its drug connection like Iran-Contra?  Or was he part of the ploy as Dark Legacy proclaims?  Was having Nixon so close to  the Bush compound at the Ocean Reef Club in Miami near where Cuban ex-patriots had also been in secret training in 1960 and where Nixon's close friend, Bebe Rebozo, lived as Brewton also covers extensively in his book on the Bush, the CIA and Mafia?
     One must remember that the Nixon speech writer who also penned Nixon's resignation letter was none other than David Gergen who was by his own admission ambushed by the gate crasher at the Bohemian Grove, Alex Jones.  A staunch defender of the group that Nixon loathed, Gergen will discuss the relationship between Nixon and Bill Clinton whose wife, Hillary, was a key attorney on the Nixon impeachment team.  Gergen relates how, ironically, at a meeting with Clinton's chief of staff at a Washington Hotel on DuPont Circle, along with Monica Crowley, Nixon tells Gergen to tell Clinton to support NAFTA and to read about England's repeal of the "Corn Laws" from the 19th Century as justification for supporting NAFTA.  According to Gergen those laws in Nixon's eyes were responsible for fueling the great economy of the British Empire.  In the 19th Century?  When England was already beginning a steep post-industrial decline?  Ross Perot would oppose NAFTA which was initiated by George Herbert Walker Bush, even as Perot marshaled anti-Bush support in 1991-92 using Bush critics like Col. Bo Gritz who would claim that the U.S./Golden Triangle drug liaison was Bush aide, Richard Armitage.  Perot told Americans that they would hear from GATT and NAFTA a "huge sucking noise from U.S. jobs departing the country."
     In time, Hillary Clinton who had conveniently swept the White House clean of U.S. memories of the illegal Nixon/Kissinger bombing of Cambodia as a prelude to peace in Vietnam that left 50,000 American GI's and millions of Indo-Chinese dead, would become Secretary of State after Colin Powell and Condeleeza Rice.  Hillary would add to her staff Huma Mahmood Abedin as chief of staff.  Abedin has been criticized for long standing ties to the Muslim Brotherhood that spawned Al Qaeda which was incubated by the MB in Hosni Mubarrak's repressive, but protective environment. Fighting alongside the Mujaheddin in USSR occupied Afghanistan and working with the highest elements of the CIA and NSA, Al Qaeda initially did much of these agency's dirty work across the Arab world up until 911 when, the story goes, they penetrated the U.S. along established drug routes and through U.S. flight schools that often trained drug smugglers supplying the CIA back channels.
     Was Nixon in the cross-hairs of the U.S. military complex because of his continuation of Kennedy's rejection of unrestrained militarism, an idealism clearly checked by Nixon's handler, Henry Kissinger who many say should be hauled before the International Criminal Court in the Hague like Augusto Pinochet?   As events of the later Cuban missile crisis have shown, JFK had no handler like Kissinger, not even Averill Harriman, heir of the railroad baron whose company had employed Prescott Bush, father of two U.S. Presidents.
     The place to really look to that question is to Alice Mayhew, Woodward and Bernstein and especially to indicted and pardoned FBI agent, Mark Felt, AKA, "Deep Throat."   Mysterious Mr.Felt, who dribbled an anonymous trail to Nixon's White House basement plumber's group, was indicted in his pursuit of the Weather Underground and an accompanying violation of civil rights that Ronald Reagan saw as forgivable given the threat. "Reagan didn't want Felt dribbling anything about Nancy's astrologer to Kitty Kelly," said one Reagan insider.  The Weather Underground, of course, is the radical student group of which Chicagoan William Ayers, the conflicted son of a compromised U.S. industrialist, who not unlike John Walker Lindh and son of the U.S. Navy admiral in charge of LBJ's Gulf of Tonkin affair, Jim Morrison of The Doors, rejecting their father's values.
     Felt has written his own account of his FBI years titled A G-Man's Life, an irrationally sympathetic book that was heartily panned.  His co-author, California attorney who represents companies like Hewlitt-Packard, Sony and Pacific Gas and Electric, John O'Connor, called Mr. Felt "the original whistle blower" and "a hero" concerned about "transparency" in government and especially the FBI.
     John W. Dean who unlike Felt publicly indicted Nixon during the Watergate hearings,  writing for the NY Times about Felt's book ("The Source Runs Dry", May 7, 2006) said:   "A G-Man's Life," like "The FBI Pyramid," views the Federal Bureau of Investigation through rose-colored glasses. Felt virtually ignores the F.B.I. that was described in the 1976 reports of the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities (better known as the Church committee after its chairman, Senator Frank Church), and he completely ignores the bureau that was more recently found to have let several men serve 30 years in prison for a murder it knew one of its informants had committed. If Felt's account were even close to accurate, some Republicans and Democrats would not be pursuing legislation to remove Hoover's name from the F.B.I. headquarters building. As Laurence Silberman, a senior federal judge, has nicely summed it up, "it is as if the Defense Department were named for Aaron Burr."
    This, of course, fails to show that J. Edgar Hoover's FBI took the lead in investigating the "business plotters" and the hard right, Nazi-sympathetic American business leaders including the grandfather of a future CIA Director, George Herbert Walker Bush, who many believe have their own connection to Aaron Burr-type personality, ie., flamboyant filibusterer of the 19th Century and close ally of Barbara Pierce Bush ancestor, Franklin Pierce, William Walker.  At least two films about William Walker's exploits have been made one with politically eye-opened actor Marlon Brando.
    Aaron Burr, of course, was the pre-William Walker era filibusterer who had tried to annex everything west of the Mississippi and appoint himself as "monarch",  "president for life" or some other equally fitting title unbecoming of his Presbyterian heritage. Had Burr never read about John Knox's rejection of the tyrannical, murderous, British monarch Bloody Mary?  Burr's work set the stage for Willam Walker's misguided adventures that went west and then south to Central America where Walker's only major support came from Franklin Pierce.   Many historians believe that William Walker was seeking a Pacific seaport that would cut short the New England China Traders smuggling routes like the ones that serendipitously fell into the laps of the U.S. insurance company AIG with the collapse of the Dubai "ports deal".  AIG had its beginnings in insuring shipments of goods from Shanghai, China to America in the 19th Century with mail routes guaranteed by the U.S. Navy and guaranteed routes funded with tax dollars just as in Henry Paulson's 2008 toxic-asset-purchase-turned-bank-and-insurance-company-bailout....an early example of Capitalism's failure to avoid "mixed-markets". 
     Mrs. Bush's family had migrated spiritually in recent years from the representative faith of John Knox to the more oligarchical Anglican tradition of Queen Elizabeth, caught as the young queen was between her bloody sister, Mary, and bloodier father, Henry VIII, the church's founder.   It was there that Mrs. Bush found her  husband's Skull & Bones nickname of "Moloch" less problematic. Meanwhile, Latin Americans are calling for the exhumation of the body of William Walker for DNA analysis and comparison to the Walker-Bush clan in the same way that Thomas Jefferson's remains compare to the family of Jefferson's slave, Sally Hemmings.
     Rasenberger's father is reportedly an attorney and Washington insider who worked to free over 1000 Bay of Pigs invaders imprisoned in the brilliant disaster....most of whom have never felt that there was anything brilliant about it.
      Ironically, or perhaps not, Paul P. Kennedy’s wife helped found the Austin, Texas restaurant where  George Walker Bush is said to have proposed to his wife, Laura Welch Bush, Fonda San Miguel.  Kennedy’s wife, Diana Southwood Kennedy, is a world renowned author and chef specializing in classic, hot, Latin American dishes.  None as hot as the Bay of Pigs also CIA code named  "Operation Zapata", the same name as George Herbert Walker Bush’s oil company at the time of the CIA-backed invasion.
     A young future president Bush would not propose to his bride in a restaurant associated with the leading CIA cover-story provider on the Bay of Pigs.  Especially if that reporter had been duped.   Meaning that whatever Paul P. Kennedy was doing in writing the NY Times story it was not assisting the Bay of Pigs invaders nor the U.S. military adventurers behind them.   Not even dogs return to their own vomit.  What?  They do?
