Romancing the Stoned

USN Navy Commander, Commando, SEAL: The Evolution of America’s Premier Special Forces Unit

By Winsip Custer CPW News Service

     The winners write history.  Then they rewrite it to consolidate power.  They rewrite it again to defend that consolidated power and they rewrite it, still again, to project power into unclaimed areas of potential exploitation.  It is called human nature.  The truth is, as Winston Churchill has said….having practiced well the art of it, that “the truth is always covered with a swarm of lies.”

     Following the death of Bin Laden and the assault on Somali pirates, the nation stands in salute of it special forces units….Green Berets, Delta Force, U.S. Army Rangers, and especially the Navy SEALS.  The SEALS are unique not only because they are trained for sea, air and land combat, but because they, like no other branch of the U.S. military, have the security and intelligence reach of the U.S. Navy.  Key leaders of U.S. Intelligence are disproportionately chosen from the U.S. Navy…  Poindexter, Inman, Hayden and others.

     With the recent apparent murder-suicide in Coronado, California, home of the U.S. Navy SEAL training base along with actions by Navy SEALS in Pakistan and Somalia, new attention is being paid to the origins of the SEALs.

     SEAL history would have remained sealed were it not for the answer to a riddle....a quiz.  The entertaining American movie, Quiz Show, asked the $64,000 question, then answers it with fraud.  The fraud of Charles Lincoln Van Doren.   Born in 1926 into a prominent American literary family his mother, Dorothy, was once editor of The Nation, sometimes called "The Flagship of the Left", but with special interest in peace. She was also a novelist.  Charles' uncle Carl had won a Pulitzer Prize for his biography of Benjamin Franklin.  Charles’ father had also won a Pulitzer for his poetry and wrote a landmark book on the life of the New England Brahmin’s literary star, Nathaniel Hawthorne.
     Author Kent Anderson who wrote the book Television Fraud: The History and Implications of the Quiz Show Scandals notes that Van Doren lived in Connecticut next door to James Thurber.  Van Doren's family galaxy of friends included Joseph Wood Krutch, Franklin Adams, Mortimer J. Adler, Clifton Fadiman, Morris L. Ernst and Sinclair Lewis.
     Mark Van Doren, Charles' father, was a professor at Columbia University where Dan Wakefield's book, New York in the 50's explains "Columbia was in the heart of the City where everything happened first."  Wakefield also notes that people would make their way there to hear lectures by Van Doren, Charles' father, and by C. Wright Mills, the radical Sociologist from Texas whose book The Power Elite had rattled so many cages that most felt his latest heart attack while on a commuter train was helped along with some undetectable concoction.

     Charles Van Doren graduated from St. John’s College in America's premier Navy town, Annapolis, Maryland, alma mater of Francis Scott Key, in 1946.  Four years later in 1950 Jac Holzman would create Elecktra Records in a St. John's dorm room. A decade and a half later Holzman's company would sign a California rock group with substantial ties to the U.S. Navy...The Doors.  A bright and ambitious young academic, Van Doren joined with historian Ralph Joseph Roske to co-author the first book to really identify William B. Cushing as the first U.S. Navy commando.  The title was simply, Lincoln’s Commando.   Before that Cushing had simply been Commander William B. Cushing.  Not long after this project Charles Van Doren was paid to write for the U.S. government a pamphlet titled What Is American Culture?  It's a good question!  Co-author of Lincoln’s Commando, Ralph Joseph Roske, went on to write a history of California titled Every Man’s Eden as well as a pictorial history of Las Vegas, where sadly, Roske's grandson, a student at UNLV, was killed in a motorcycle crash in March, 2011, by a driver making an unauthorized u-turn.

   William B. Cushing’s brother was Howard Birmingham Cushing, a West Point classmate of George Armstrong Custer, and because of circumstances surrounding his death as an Indian fighter in Arizona he became known as “Arizona’s Custer”.  It was said that he was always trying to live up to his brother William’s image, but a book published in 1892 by John Gregory Bourke titled On the Border With Crook, shed a very favorable light on Howard's “herculean and more notable work."   Few had more Indian kills than Howard Cushing according to Bourke.  Advancing civilization justified the slaughter of the Apaches who were, according to Bourke, initially friendly... Cochice even supplying firewood to the U.S. Army...with tales like the Apaches' ill-treatment of Indian women or of their bizarre ceremonials and healing rituals.  Bourke recounts one story of an attractive Indian woman whose Apache husband had cut off her nose. Bourke does not overlook the atrocities of men like John Joel Glanton whose exploits in Mexico and Arizona were the subject for Cormack McCarthy's book, Blood Meridian.  According to Bourke, beyond scalping Mexicans town folks and collecting a bounty from their own Mexican mayor who counted their scalps as proof of dead Indians, Glanton's hospitality was extended to friendly Indians who were invited to  hot meals laced with strychnine.

     William and Howard Cushing were not the only Cushings important to this riddle of the SEAL's evolution.  Robert J.C. Young in his book, Freud’s Secret: The Interpretation of Dreams Was A Gothic Novel, shows how Sigmund Freud, whose liberal use of morphine and cocaine is well documented, was beholding to Frank Hamilton Cushing.   Through Bourkes' writings we are also introduced to British writer Thomas De Quincy.  De Quincy whose place in British society gave him an intimate understanding of the China Trade, had written Confessions of An English Opium Eater, but Freud was indebted to De Quincey for more than an introduction to exotic drugs.   Frank Hamilton Cushing, on the other hand, would become an important person at the Smithsonian Institute and his personal papers would be domiciled at Yale University.  

     Young writes of the relationship between Freud and De Quincy:  “It is striking that in The Interpretation of Dreams, Freud represses all reference to his greatest literary precursor the Romantic Gothic writer, Thomas De Quincey, or to the remarkable Confessions of An English Opium Eater and Susperia de Profundis, another of De Quincey's books which together constitute the first example of the genre of autobiography through dream analysis.  It was De Quincey who invented the term ‘sub-conscious’ which often,  even today, people think they employ when they are making a ‘Freudian’ analysis."

Frank Hamilton Cushing

     In 1891, Bourke summarized his anthropological studies in a esoteric book titled Scatologic Rites of All Nations. A Dissertation upon the Employment of Excrementicious Reemdial Agents in Religion, Therapeutics, Divination, Witch-Craft, Love-Philters, etc. in all part of the Globe.   The book was distributed only among selected specialists.   Later revised in a version by Friedrich S. Krauss, Scatologic Rites of All Nations was published posthumously in 1913. In it was a preface by Sigmund Freud. Freud praised Bourke, who had owed his research in anthropology and perhaps his introduction to Howard Cushing and the U.S. Army's quartermaster in Arizona Territory, J.J. Cushing and to Frank Hamilton Cushing who had been a type of Jeremiah Johnson living among the Southwest's indigenous peoples. Frank H. Cushing had extracted their secrets for which they would eventually turn on him just as the Chinese would do on the British and Americans for dope dealing, that led to their physical and spiritual enslavement.  Freud wrote of Bourke: “He was recognized in his own time for his ethnological writings on various indigenous peoples of the North American Southwest, particularly Apachean groups.”
     Freud made no reference to the work of the America China Traders upon whose shoulders Bourke's studies had rested.  Bourkes' description of a Zuni ritual presented by a dozen Zunis in Frank Hamilton Cushing's living room would have sent shivers down many a spine in the sitting rooms of Boston and New York.

On The Border With Crook
by Gregory Bourke

    One needs to remember that opium smuggling during the early development of the China Trade was not illegal and opiates, as with alcohol, had been a remarkably stable currency. However, its effects like the ulceration of skin, loss of will and purpose, criminality, as well as the rotting of teeth, constipation and so forth, needed no law to join these potential medicinals with serious ethical and moral issues.

      Back to the riddle...the quiz.  Charles Van Doren is remembered best for the television fraud associated with the game show The $64,000 Question, but he should more correctly be remembered for the elevation of William B. Cushing. Most historians avoid digging into the connections of Lincoln's commando with the Boston Brahman Cushing family, but William and Howard's mother used her connections with the Secretary of the Navy to gain William's placement which raises the issue.   Beyond this, there was William's marriage to the Boston Brahman, Kate Forbes, which decries the understatement of William's connections to his Boston clan.
     It was the Ambassador to China appointed by Franklin Pierce, the ancestor of Barbara Pierce Bush, Caleb Cushing, who negotiated the first treaty between the U.S. and China on July 3, 1843 laying the groundwork for the foray into the opium trade.  That trade had previously been controlled by the British.  William Cushing's grandfather had been a Massachusetts ship builder.
     In the summer of 1851, Caleb Cushing, New England's premier opium and slave trader brought Jefferson Davis to Boston to strategize over the quickest land route to the Orient.  Whether this meeting included plans for the U.S. Civil War, just as Cushing had promoted the United States' war with Mexico as a push for control of the flatter rail route to the Pacific is conjectured on defensible grounds.  It has been well noted that the co-founder of the KKK, Nathan Bedford Forest, the Southern cavalry officer with a clear assessment of General Braxton Bragg's compromised loyalty, was conscious-led to threaten to kill General Bragg.   Bragg had been strategically at the center of the opening and closing battles of the Civil War....the battle of Forts Donnelson and Henry which opened the entire Southern river system to Northern gun ships and the Battle of Fort Fisher where William B. Cushing gained notoriety.
    Caleb Cushing endorsed Albert Pike, the head of the Scotttish Rite Masonry in the South while Jefferson Davis made Pike the Confederacy's chief Indian agent.  Scottish Rite Masonry was, however, not the same as the Masonic Order as that of George Washington and the Founding Fathers.  In fact, Scottish Rite Masonry evolved out of the Tory-supporting Scots of the British Empire through their minions in the United States following the American Revolution.  Pike would move to Little Rock, Arkansas, but he would write for Blackwood Magazine the Edinburgh Scotland Tory publication created by William Blackwood.  This magazine would take several weeks to reach America, but was widely read by Scottish Rite Masons and Tory elements in the former British Colonies.

     After the Civil War, Braxton Bragg went to work for the Southern railroads pushing West and died in Texas where Bragg's great grandson would live and attend college, first at College Station and then, Austin, Texas.     It was this great grandson, the Texan turned Columbia University sociology professor, C. Wright Mills, who wrote the penetrating analysis of American history creating the landmark book on the American Military Industrialist Complex titled The Power Elite.  As Nathan Bedford Forest had distanced himself from Bragg and then the KKK which he had initially championed, so C. Wright Mills had opened the book on American misadventure and in so doing distanced himself from his mis-adventurous ancestor.  Others would point out the connections between the KKK and Scottish Rite Free Masonry as a commandeering of the entire American Free Masonry movement that had provided such power and purpose to the American Revolution.  The Scottish Rite element of Free Masonry rose from the Tory element of America's colonists supplanting their original vision. If there was any doubt about the dark alliance and opium enticed coalition between Cushing's North and Davis' South in the push for the China Trade one need only note that with Caleb Cushing on his 1843 visit to China was William Tecumseh Walthall the future aide de camp to Confederate President Jefferson Davis helped Davis with his memoires.    Jefferson Davis' great great grandson would marry the granddaughter of New Orleans crime family figure, Carlos Marcello.  Beyond this there was the centrality of Northern artillery expert, Eli Lilly, and his concentration on the symbiotic relationship between opiates and heavy artillery in American commerce and battlefield medicine.  As natural opiates from the historic opium producing regions of Turkey, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and eventually Indo-China's Golden Triangle  were used to make morphine, heroin and other derivatives, the U.S. pushed through Eli Lilly Co. the replacement of these drugs with one synthesized by Hitler's chemists at I.G. Farben, Methadone, thus keeping money out of the hands of potential terrorist groups.
     By 1849, thirty years before Howard Cushing's death as he chased Apaches' under Cochise's leadership in Arizona, William Walker, supported as he was by Franklin Pierce, was leading an attempt to annex Baja making it and not San Diego the port of choice for the growing China Trade.   Walker hoped to connect the Baja port to the East Coast making his backers there and himself rich in the process.  Future Confederate President Jefferson Davis was personally laying out the Southern Transcontinental rail route across Dixie and Arizona Territory to San Diego in the years before the Civil War.  Davis' ambitions were sidelined not by Cochise or Geronimo, but by the Civil War triggered by abolitionist John Brown, whose connections to Baltimore's railroad magnate, Alexander Brown, the father of the "National City Bank Boys", Brown and Root, and Brown Brothers Harriman are meticulously avoided by America's leading historians. John Brown's backers included Bostonian, George Luther Stearns, who was trying to corner the lead (as in bullets) market.  As guns were forged in places like the Springfield Armory near Boston, musket balls had come from shot towers where molten lead was dropped into water far below. From Brown's North-South border and port city of Baltimore came lead musket balls and the runaway slave, James Hamlet.  Hamlet triggered the test case in the Fugitive Slave Laws. Hamlet had been working at the Brown's Merchant Shot Tower where he was making musket balls for his owners.  Hamlet serendipitously, or more probably by design, in becoming the focus of the Fugitive Slave Laws pushed the nation ever closer to Civil War.  Hamlet's case prompted memories of William Shakespeare's popular play, Hamlet, which at the time was a favorite of actors like John Wilks Boothe and his family who performed it.  "To be or not to be"....to take up arms or to peacefully co-exist.  A PR and war profiteer's dream case!  John Brown and George Luther Stearns were betting on war and the booty was more than the liberation of slaves.  It was the overland rail route from Savannah or Charleston to California, the Pacific and the opium crops beyond.
     Bourke writes:  “During the war the Southern leaders thought they would establish a chain of posts across the continent from Texas to California, and to occupy Tucson.  The commanding general—Turner by name…….”.   Like the New England China Traders the Southerners, too,  knew so well what lay beyond the Pacific.  Jefferson Davis surely knew that more was at stake than the freedom of slaves and Caleb Cushing had always been a Boston Brahman who sided with the Southern slavers.
      The Brahmin's, not trusting that the pesky Southerners would not derail or commandeer their railroad ambitions during Reconstruction which they did, looked further North to San Francisco to become the bigger port with the arrival of the Transcontinental Railroad through a Northern Rocky Mountain route connected as it was in 1868, but begun years earlier, with the Boston Irish pushing West and meet with the imported Chinese coolies from the developing China Trade pushing East.   Some of those Coolies dangled from ropes over mountain cliffs with dynamite in hand where they were used as human blasting caps and detonators.  Ten years after the Civil War the Southern route with its more desirable, flatter terrain stretching to San Diego and its connection to the U.S. military base already established there, was finally completed.  Southern and Northern "Brahmin's" reunited and the North jettisoned the righteous indignation against slavery, replacing it with apartheid in both regions, one openly declared and the other more subtle, and rebuilt their new "high road" of moral and spiritual superiority upon that "lower road" across the bodies of 600,000 dead....a small price to pay for their present and future fortunes.
     Just as the China Traders had made fortunes in munition sales during the Civil War, with the discovery of gold in California in 1848 they had already learned of other treasures to be found along the China Trade route.  No one dug up these treasures....copper, lead, silver, gold and such better than the standout geologist of the 1833 class of Yale, James Dana.  This Yale class was the progenitor of Yale's Skull and Bones fraternity started by Alfonso Taft whose body, buried in Cincinnati, Ohio, is surrounded by no less than 40 Union Army Generals....protect
     The true motive of all that activity had been making the China Trade more accessible.  That lucrative trade was of necessity being protected by the U.S. Navy which not only secured the Pacific trade routes, but the Indian Ocean routes from the Turkish, Pakistani, Indian and Afghanistani poppy fields to their market in China and other locales including the U.S. and Europe.  They used every tool at their disposal to project power including a fuller understanding of culture, myth and superstition employed to their advantage.   As Constantine had used Christianity to lubricate the rolling wheels of his expansion, so the Brahman China Traders used the church, too, with Protestant and Catholic missionaries, where they could.   The Protestant, Unitarian and Episcopal Brahmans may have gathered on Sunday in Boston's Copley Square, but soon there would come a Roman Catholic Cardinal Cushing.  Some, like daughter of Protestant Christian Missionaries to China, Pearl S. Buck, caught on to the scam early and rebelled not unlike William Ayers and Jim Morrison, but not toward bombings, boozing and drugs, but toward Buck's writing the truth of it.
     The Brahman families controlled the import-export business in the U.S. from early on through the Colonies, politically centered at Philadelphia and then Washington with legal and illegal goods passing through and around government ports….controlled as they were by the Brahmans, themselves.
     As the power elites lost control of U.S. non-militarized ports to groups like the Italian Mob in New York or New Orleans or the Irish Mob in Boston, they sought to outsource some of those ports to regain control with help from companies from Dubai.   When public sentiments in post-911 America went against an Arab nation controlling American ports, the nod went to AIG Insurance, an unlikely port administrator, except that AIG was created from opium profits gained in Shanghai, China, by its founder, Cornelius Vander Starr who insured the Brahmin's shipments across the Pacific with U.S. government contracts....an early example of the betrayal of true laisse-faire capitalism. While the bailout money given to AIG in 2008 was arguably for a good American company, documentary film maker Michael Moore believed otherwise, but never lays out AIG's real history which had clearly repeated itself.
     Meanwhile, the newspaper in San Diego that was owned by an American Nazi sympathizer in the 1940's was bought by the Boston based Bain Capital which employs former Massachusetts Governor, Mitt Romney, laying off upwards of 150 of its employees many of whom surely new of these connections.  The connections included ties to the German American Bund of the 1930's that had revealed the "Business Plot" of Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, John Burroughs, Charles Lindberg and Marine General Smedley Darlington Butler.  As America burned Bain fiddled...or, more accurately, strummed.  Flooding through California ports were cheap knock offs of classic American guitars....Martins, Gibsons, Fenders....made in China like Nike shoes or Apple and other  computers by totalitarian governments.  Bain's Guitar Centers, were headed by men like Greg Trojan, CEO, who also sits on the board of Dominoes Pizza Co......a fitting name for the Trojan Horse and a house of cards.....ah, dominoes?
    If the Brahmans couldn't mine treasure from the ground, they mined it from the culture from low-brow blues, jazz and rock music to high-brow ballets.  As Joy Williams Brown danced with prima ballerina, Margot Fontyne, in New York, her husband, who wrote musical plays called "industrial musicals"....for the chemical and mineral companies that Dana's work had created... mined the evolving literature of Southern writers like Truman Capote and Harper Lee.  Lee, a gifted Pulitzer Prize winning writer of To Kill A Mockingbird, like Van Doren's father and uncle, would shine a bright light on the South's hypocrisy after being exported to Manhattan and then Fire Island never to be heard from again like a rich gold vein having quickly played out.  To Kill A Sea Eagle was not within her range of vision and she may not have fully understood the really dark sentiments of the Southerners who tried to fire bomb New York after the Civil War decades before bombing black churches in the South and too myopic to understand the deeper issues.  Lee's swan song could have been an imaginary tale of how one brilliant group of pithy Southern women, white and black together, Diane Keatons and Meryl Streeps locked arm in arm with Oprah Winfreys and a sober Whitney Houston, had tried to  preempt the North in 1859 by liberating slaves and building a new model army that marches to Baltimore, New York and Boston to free the unwashed Irish and Italian Catholic women...before turning West and South along the Jefferson Davis Highway and future Southern railroad to San Diego to import Chinese goods for Walmart.....and, ah, opium, but cultivated freely by well-balanced, and free-thinking individuals and not by violent cartels or lying governments.
     Historically, laws were enacted to prohibit some goods to pass through our ports while allowing others, but over time the lucrative and addictive drugs and the maze of laws surrounding them, provided the back-drop to the violent world we now inhabit.

    It would be fitting, then, that families involved in this often brutal and unseemly world would want to dust off their image, particularly when they realize that the world is increasingly aware of the scam, but also look to them for the best hope of promoting the democratic principles that can elevate the world out of its habitual darkness kind of like Florentine de Medicci's during the Age of Enlightment.  Alas, the great contradiction.  The government's War On Drugs has always been a fraud.  If anyone knows this it is Mrs. Barack Obama who worked for the Springfield, Illinois law firm (Republican) that handled Mary Todd Lincoln's affairs. Lincoln had been a lawyer for the railroads. And don't forget Barack's friend, William Ayers of the Weather Underground, whose father was on the board of many of the major Military Industrial-Complex's key companies, was generously put in charge of William's rehabilitation.  There is also the guru to the American hippie movement and son of San Diego, California's leading Navy Admiral at the time of the Gulf of Tonkin crisis that kick-started the Vietnam War, Jim 'Break on Through to the Other Side' Morrison of The Doors. 
     "Blah, blah, blah...." Ayers, Morrison and countless other insiders would say to the nation's ongoing attempts to dust off its image having been close enough to have an Oedipal reaction to their father's hidden personae. People are strange riders on the storm.  Well, maybe not Barack.  Anyone elected to lead in this blender of deadly realities may exist from day to day on nothing more than naivety, forced gumption and image in search of some illusive substance, unless they are groomed, as many believe Barack is, for the role.
     On the cover of Van Doren's and Roske’s book, Lincoln’s Commando, is a crouching William B. Cushing holding an extended pole with an Improvised Explosive Device, or IED, attached to it.  His small boat is approaching the Confederate gun ship the Albemarle which his actions sank. The back cover of the 1958 book describes the Albemarle as “the most dangerous ship in the rebel navy,” making Cushing “the most daring man in the Federal forces,” and bringing Cushing from “obscurity to national fame.”

William B. Cushing, AKA
"Sea Eagle" and after 1953,
"Lincoln's Commando"

     Dr. George Peabody Calhoun Forbes of the American Society For Romance and Mythology has noted that “what really lifted Cushing from obscurity was Roske and Van Doren’s book.”  Forbes notes that the cover has the young officer dressed in full formal uniform with four stripes on the sleeves…. “not a possibility for him among 1864 uniforms.  Only three stripes as in his portrait.”  Forbes believes that the release of the book was coordinated to ride the popularity of Mr. Van Doren’s appearance on the game show.  “Of course everything changed when Mr. Van Doren was outed as a fraud.  The New England Brahmans could not possibly have been elevated by this attack on their literary and cultural identity.  Van Doren's problem destabilized their prominence and might lead their enemies to believe that Van Doren’s fraud would have a similar effect not only on their literary and cultural integrity, but also on the drug trade in the U.S. similar to what ripping out the pipeline through the price-setting crossroads of Cushing, Oklahoma, might have on the control and flow of oil.  Hello Keystone!”

    Speculation as to who would have put Charles Van Doren up to writing the book with Roske and then outing him runs the gamut.  The Cushing-connected? Not likely. Navy-lovers? Maybe.  If Charles' father, Mark Van Doren's sympathies leaned left, as his marriage and connections seem to suggest, as evidenced by his friendships including Thomas Merton who died like C. Wright Mills under equally mysterious circumstances, did the outing come from those wanting to embarrass a wing of the Brahman leadership?  Was it a hard right element wanting the young Charles to go their way, just as Ayers had gone left and Morrison had gone ....who knows where....to the other side?  Jewish bankers who some say are behind every plot and if not, still make wonderful scapegoats?  Maybe it was the Irish and Italian Mobs who were sick and tired of seeing their family's faces on flow charts in FBI hearings and who after the election of JFK were hopeful not of correcting these evils, but of inheriting them.  If that were the case, was Bobby Kennedy's attack on organized crime a fraud, as well, given his family's history in bootlegging?

William B. Cushing's demeanor subtly indicates that even in the presence of an Admiral there was
a sense of privilege and place among the elite New England China Traders that
was not shared by other USN officers of the USS Malvern.  Cushing would replace
Porter as captain of the Malvern shortly after this photo was taken.

 

    When asked "who might have an interest in seeing the myth derailed by Van Doren's credibility problems?" Forbes said only, "The usual suspects."  And when asked to spell it out he said simply, "Infighting?  Outfighting?  During the Cold War?  The Communists.  During Iran-Contra?  The land reformers or Reagan, North, Weinberger and Poindexter?  In a drug war with the historically Puritan Protestants of New England?  Irish Catholics drug pushers, maybe?  Italian Catholic drug pushers? Pure pagans? Crypto-Nazi drug pushers?  Dixie Mafiosos angry over the fall of slavery who are also drug pushing as means of re-enslaving?  Black drug pushers who don't give a damn about their own like some of their white counterparts?  Mexican and South American cartels?  The British Royals? The Bilderbergers?  Bilderbergers warring with themselves? Cain and Abel?  Hatfields or McCoys? Arab terrorists providing a big enough umbrella of hate and fear to cast a shadow under which these lesser wars can go on undetected? It's business as usual and sad when you think about it.  Any person with a heart and soul would like to see the world become a better place, but sadly for all our efforts to improve it?  This is what we get. So I guess the question is do you want a world led by one warring faction or another like prison gangs fighting over a piece of the playground on a prison planet?  The world is what we make of it," said Forbes.

Eric Schneiderman, Obama's Trigger Man Won't Go Far Enough

New Rockefeller Drug Laws Hide Limits of Solution

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

      President Obama’s new leader of the government’s bank fraud team, Eric Schneiderman was the chief sponsor of the Rockefeller Drug Law reforms passed and signed into law in 2009. The reforms included a repeal of long, mandatory minimum sentences while allocating funds for alternatives to imprisonment.... rehabilitation, treatment and reentry of prisoners into society.  The laws provide incentives to move the country away from a narco-economy, or so it is argued.   Schneiderman’s legislative accomplishments also include passing the sweeping ethics reforms and the toughest law in the nation to root out fraud against taxpayers.

     Joshua Hickman Urp, of the Center for The Expansion of Treason Laws, believes that Barack Obama and Schneiderman didn’t go far enough.  “Undermining the economy through fraud is treason,” said Urp.  “We believe that if we collectively elevate theft of over $10,000 as treasonous then we will quickly settle the bigger problems.  This would, of course, mean that some of the finest criminal minds in the country will be forever lost against a brain splattered brick wall, but there will be others to replace them, I am sure.”

     Urp believes that naming the new drug laws the Rockefeller Laws is itself disingenuous.  He explains that before World War II when the USS Panay was struck by Japanese airplanes while it was plowing the upper reaches of the Chinese rivers as it supposedly provide defensive support for Standard Oil Company, “Rockefeller was looking for a lot more than oil,” Urp asserts.

     “You will find in Asheville, North Carolina's airport a displayed model of the USS Asheville, a gun ship like the USS Sand Pebbles made famous by the movie of the same name.  Those US gunboats were doing in China what the Brits had done for centuries.  Within miles of the Asheville airport you will find the families of the Christian Missionaries who went to China as our cultural ambassadors, but who in many ways acted as guardians of the corruption.   The boats were delivering drugs from the opium poppies of Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and the Golden Triangle to Chinese drug addicts.   You wonder what we are doing in Afghanistan?  Stop wondering.   We were securing the poppy fields just as we were securing the Golden Triangle’s drugs with the excuse of the Gulf of Tonkin affair during the Vietnam War.   It took a communist cultural revolution to throw off the shackles of this abhorrent behavior and we do not favor communism which is as open to corruption as George W. or Jeb Bush in the back of Yale fraternity limo on New Year’s Eve,” said Urp.

     When asked what he favors in terms of tighter drug laws, Urp said “The Invisible Hand Law.”  Urp explained that this law would legalize ten or less marijuana, coca and poppy plants owned by individuals over eighteen who could keep or sell the product to highly regulated government  cooperatives that provide the finished products at cost to medical and pharmaceutical companies.   Urp noted that currently there is only one company in the U.S. permitted to import coca plants.  “With the Invisible Hand law comes a whistle blower rule that gives a good whistleblower a 50/50 split in reward from the profits of violators... individual growers trying to go commercial or pharmaceutical companies defrauding the public. The whistleblowers won't have to worry about criminal retaliation against their family since the treason rule will take care of that for them.  You pull the hidden narco profits out of the US banking system and spread it around and you fix 99% of the narco-economy problems for good,” said Urp.

Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Dustin Hoffman To Launch New Ship?

New Plastic Processing Ship To Clean Up Texas Size Pacific Plastic Island?

by Winsip Custer for CPW News Service

     If an Indonesian ship building firm has its way the Texas-sized island of floating plastic in the Pacific Ocean Northwest of Hawaii will soon be eaten by a plastic gobbling factory ship.

     That ship, named “The Graduate” from the Dustin Hoffman film of the same name, in currently in pre-production.  The name comes from advice given to Hoffman's young bewildered character by a family friend....  “I have one word for you, young man.  Plastic.”

     The USS “The Graduate” is a state of the art plastic recycling factory on the water.  Sources close to the naval architects at the Indonesian ship building firm of PXP Corporation believe that a fleet of ten of these ships valued at $4.2 billion will be able to completely process the entire Texas-size island of plastic currently floating in the central Pacific in twenty years.  Profits from the new industry could exceed half a trillion dollars.

     “They suck up the plastic debris, sort it and process it at sea, then return the recycled plastic to China and India where workers reprocess the reprocessed plastic into new laptops, telephones, Tupperware and other products for sale worldwide,” said Sukiman Ubatala PXP’s Director of Development and Visioning.

     “Yes, it has been rumored that the American trio of Gates, Buffet and Hoffman have collaborated in the production of this new industry, but I am not at liberty to discuss that at all.  I simply cannot confirm or deny the rumors of their involvement, but I can say that the future of the Pacific Ocean is bright and clean,” said Ubatala.

     Lee Wong Wu, the head of the Chinese Office Of Lunar Industrial Exploration or C.O.O.L.I.E. , says that the People’s Republic of China is negotiating  with an unnamed Indonesian plastics processor and with staff and science advisers of U.S. Presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich.  Sources close to Mr. Wu have indicated that the talks have focused on a new lunar transcontinental railway from the Sea of Tranquility to a yet undisclosed lunar location and base-site called “The Plain of Polymers”.  This has led to additional speculation that the earth's excess plastic may be used in future lunar exploration and development.

Coach's Legacy of Change and Improvement Continues

Funeral Home To Provide New “Paterno Package”

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

     Seizing on the interest in some people to profit from the death of Penn State's legendary football coach, Joe Paterno, by selling online tickets to his public funeral service, Mortimer J. Borlisskaufman, the owner of Restland Morticians of Seattle, Washington is revamping his funeral services.
    “When I heard that someone paid $90,000 for a ticket to a free event, I was initially mortified, then inspired.  We are offering grieving families the opportunity to provide the ‘Paterno Package’.  Tickets are sold to the deceased's funeral and under each seat is an envelope with a numbered ticket.  The winner is chosen by lottery after the closing prayer and benediction or whatever the family prefers.  Sometimes in the middle of the service like after the singing of the deceased favorite hymn or song like Frank Sinatra's My Way or Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper.  However, we try to discourage placing it mid-service.  Mourners usually clears out after the drawing and that's a let down to the family who often want a renegotiated priced on the sanctuary rental. Ticket sales are split 50/50 with the family and the ticket holder.   The more tickets sold and the higher the price the greater the chance of winning big,” said Mr. Borlisskaufman.  “We place a free ad in the newspaper indicating that the funeral is open to all ticket purchasers since it is the ‘PP Package’ with the copyrighted slogan ‘Better Than Bingo’,” he asserted.  Tickets are sold online with a credit card and group rates apply, but winners must be present and seated to win.

     John and Myrtle Smith from Seattle provided something like the “Paterno Package” for Mrs. Petula Peterson, Myrtle’s mother who died in June, 2011.  "It was our prototype of the PP package," said Borlisskaufman.  Petula’s funeral was held at Mr. Borlisskaufman’s Spokane Restland Funeral Home.   The 101 year old home maker moved to Spokane to be closer to her daughter, “but not too close”,  said Myrtle.  Mrs. Peterson had lived 97 years in Boston, Massachusettes.  “She didn’t know a soul in Spokane,” said Myrtle who lives in Seattle, “but there were 823 at her funeral and the winning mourner won half of $8,230.”

Jessica Buchanan, Somali Pirates and Rosslyn Chapel Pilgrim

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

     Minutes before his State of the Union speech President Barack Obama learned that Jessica Buchanan and her Danish co-worker, Poul Hagen Thisted, were rescued from Somali pirates following their October, 2011 kidnapping.

     Working for a Danish demining ministry in Somalia, Jessica Buchanan had been a teacher at the Rosslyn Academy in Nairobi, Kenya.   She is also widely reported to be a resident of Bedford, Virginia and Rosslyn Virginia, just across the river from Washington, D.C.

     Stephen Buchanan, Jessica’s brother at Lee University in Clevelend, Tennessee was delighted to hear of his sister’s release.  Lee University was previously the home of Bob Jones University where both Billy Graham and Tim LeHaye attended school at the Cleveland campus.  “Tim LeHaye wrote the Left Behind series,” said one Lee University student near the Richard DeVos Recreational Center.  “We’re sure glad that Jessica wasn’t left behind in Somalia and that the Seal Team 6 did again what they had accomplished in Pakistan even though it was a different group of them," said another young man wearing an Amway cap and Blackwater t-shirt.

     “Timing is everything,” said another student..."and thank God that there weren’t any helicopters lost this time.  I’m not an Obama fan, but you’ve got to admit that God in his providence was on Obama's side last night and I hope that those SEAL warriors...the one's that really know how the game is played.... eventually get a good paying job as private contractors.”

     Meanwhile it was alternately reported that Jessica, a former student at Valley Forge College before  teaching at Rosslyn Academy and previously residing in Rosslyn, Virginia, had gained a Scottish supporter and prayer partner. Angus McGregor Buchanan of Edinburgh, Scotland was moved by the serendipitous series of events.   “I’m makin’ a special trip to Rosslyn Chapel to burn a candle for both the Seal Team 6 and the two rescued demining experts,” said Mr. Buchanan who is not aware of any family connections to Jessica, but whose grandson spent years building land mines.  "First he built them and then went to work as a deminer for another humanitarian group.  "That boy saw a silver lining in every cloud," said Buchanan.
     Sources in Kenya indicate that Kenyans are bursting with pride in the recent turn of events.  Some indicated that a marker showing the birthplace of Barack Obama was a fitting show of appreciation for the U.S. mission to bring security to a region characterized by lawlessness and corruption, a sentiment shared by the Mike in the Morning radio show on WRIF radio, Detroit, Michigan.

Tamiflu Can't Tame A Flu Virus

A ROACH IN THE ROCHE SOUP

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

     In 2005, George W. Bush chastised Congress for being short-sighted and pushed them into passing a $7.1 billion “emergency fund” to address the possibility of a pandemic bird flu epidemic while launching a government website to keep people informed called "pandemicflu.gov". 
     “I remember at my hospital there were spokespersons from the federal, state and county levels who pulled the staff together in plenary session to say that there was not enough vaccine and that the only solution was treating the symptoms and praying that you’re case is responsive to Tamiflu by Roche,” said a St. Louis physician who asked not to be identified.

     As Donald Rumsfeld had been hired by J.D. Searle Pharmaceutical Co. to push Aspertame, the sweetner Equal,  as the new sweetener of choice, a product that circumvented normal FDA protocols, so Rumsfeld with a $25 million investment in Roche pushed Tamiflu following his departure from the Defense Department primarily because of the Abu Ghraib affair.  The Pentagon bought $58 million of the drug for troops in 2005 while body armor was often sent to soldiers from their families who had to purchase the armor from companies created by retired military officers.  "My boy was killed without that armor and he had a bad case of flu at the time," said a mother of one deceased Marine.  "He took Tamiflu, but the crap didn't work.   I hadn't read Christian T. Miller's book Blood Money nor General Smedley Butler's War Is A Racket," until after my son's death," said the disillusioned woman who has joined the consumer group Deport Rumsfeldt and Bush To Iraq, Now.
     Rabbi Tishman B. Cohen of Los Angeles, president of the citizen's action group RICO for Government Fraud and Wayward Politicians, noted that Tamiflu had been initially developed by the California chemical company Gilead....."from the Biblical reference to a 'balm in Gilead' that the Gospel song says 'heals the sin-sick soul,' but in Rumsfeldt's case there's nothing that will close the huge sin-sick hole in that man's soul," said Cohen who believes that had RICO laws been used against Bush and Rumsfeldt at the time, Bush would have pardoned himself, but let Rumsfeldt take the rap.  “In a fascist economy tax dollars are used to funnel money to private corporations through the government.   In a communist economy like the old USSR there is no taxation and industry itself is run by the government for profit.  By this definition the Wall Street bail out was a fascist act as was the government funding of worthless pharmaceutical products," said Tishman who concluded "Bush and Rumsfeldt and their friends are fascists.  Remember when Speak of the House, John Boener, went to playing grab-ass with that Waffen SS reinactment group in Ohio?"
      Rumsfeldt has been a member of the Gilead board since 1988.  "Rumsfeldt thought it said 'there's a bomb in Gilead," said Cohen.  "Rumsfeldt tries to destroy everything his fxxxing hands touch," said the Rabbi from his pulpit, "but along with Cheney and Bush they were the Three Stooges....rich stoooges, but still stooges."  Cohen's comments support the revelations of Canadian investigative reports which show that physicians at Mt. Sinai Hospital were acting as agent of Roche and Gilead to promote the sale of Tamiflu in Canada.  Like the U.S. government's stockpiling of Tamiflu, Canada, too was unnecessarily stockpiling with citizen's money a worthless drug for the profit of the drug makers.  "Canadian Fascism, but as a commonwealth of Britain where the ruling Windsor family is really the German Saxe-Gotha clan and with the Duke of Windsor marrying an American Nazi, Wallis Simpson, whom he met at the Hotel in Coronado, California...home of the U.S. Navy Seal training base.... what do you expect?" asked Cohen.

     Bush’s tactic of informing the US public that 200,000 Americans would die from a flu pandemic led Congress to stockpile 80 million doses of Tamiflu at $100 per dose or $8 billion dollars worth of a product that is now believed to be of no help in combating flu.  "I'll bet that Bush and Rumsfeldt were working on a Yellow Cake Uranium drug for the cure of flu if the Tamiflu fraud was revealed while they were still in office," said Rabbi Cohen.  "They'd have called it Uraniflu," joked Cohen sarcastically.

     “It was just like the swine flu scare of 1976, but this time we have the smoking Tamiflu bottles,” said the same St. Louis physician.

     On Wednesday, January 18, the Cochrane Library which publishes databases of high-quality research that keeps the health-care decision-makers appraised of recent scientific developments indicated that there has been no clear evidence to support Tamiflu’s claims that the drug Oseltamivir works to relieve flu symptoms.  In addition, they report that Roche is not forthcoming with the evidential studies required under FDA and false advertising legislation to support their claims.

     Citizens for the consumer group Deport Rumsfeldt and Bush to Iraq, Now, have encouraged consumers to picket the Rumsfeldt and Bush residences and demand that they personally refund their money before the two men are shipped to Abu Ghraib, Iraq.  This is where their arriving caravan will face what the groups spokesperson said is the "high likelihood of being hit by a IED upon entering the compound."
    Many want to know who suppressed the true information regarding Tamiflu. Others look to the official medical bureaucracy of the government to get answers regarding the propaganda associated with the fear of a pandemic flu epidemic and the touting of Tamiflu as a possible remedy.
     Amanda Gardner of HealthDay Magazine reported in 2009 that Tamiflu was being used by the CDC for treatment of flu.  Going back to the genesis of the problem she cites the first paper and wrote:

     “All but two of the 11 cases outlined in the first paper involved people who had direct or indirect contact with pigs, but "in another patient, human-to-human transmission was suspected," wrote a team led by Dr. Lyn Finelli of the CDC's Influenza Division. The patients were typically young -- an average age of 10 -- and four of the 11 cases were severe enough to require hospitalization, with two needing invasive mechanical ventilation. Four patients were given Tamiflu, and all eventually recovered.”

     Gardner's work shows that Tamiflu was identified early as a possible remedy by the CDC.  Gardner's primary sources for the article were  John M. Quarles, Ph.D., head and professor, microbial and molecular pathogenesis, Texas Agricultural and Mechanical Institute Health Science Center College of Medicine.  This university is, of course, home of the George Herbert Walker Bush Presidential Library where former CIA Director and US Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, was president after leaving the CIA.   Amanda Gardner also conducted a May 7, 2009, teleconference with Michael Shaw, Ph.D., microbiologist, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease (NCIRD), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as interviews or other information sharing with Carolyn Bridges, M.D., medical epidemiologist, NCIRD; and Fatima Dawood, M.D., medical epidemiologist, NCIRD; Len Horovitz, M.D., pulmonary expert, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York City; May 7, 2009 and New England Journal of Medicine, online.

    "The timing on the fear of a pandemic coinciding as it did with the exit of George Walker Bush from office, is like Black Beard grabbing his treasure chest before his ship goes down," said Rabbi Cohen.
    Cohen noted that the inventor who headed the Tamiflu team for Roche was Norbert Bishofberger (born January 10, 1954) of Austria having joined Gilead in 1990 as Director of Organic Chemistry.  In May, 2009 the Austrian Times was reporting that Dr. Bishofberger was predicting dark times for the planet.  The article was picked up in the US by Germerica.com and begins...."The swine flu scare has thrown an Austrian scientist into the limelight this week as his creation - 'Tamiflu' - has become the global medication of choice with which to fight the disease."
     Germerica is, according to Rabbi Cohen, an extension of the German American Bund of the 1930's and 40's and the Jewish pharmaceutical workers who promote Roche's products are suffering from Helsinki Syndrome and delusional thinking."
     Affirming receipt of Hoffman-Roche submission dated between April 29 and October 25, 1999, approval of Tamiflu was given in a letter written by the FDA's Dr. Sandra Kweder on October 27, 1999, Acting Director, Office of Drug Evaluation IV, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research and referred Roche’s Linda Robertson, PhD  Program Manager, Regulatory Affairs to contact Grace N. Carmouze, Regulatory Project Manager, at (301) 827-2335.
     Dr. Sandra Kweder had no connections to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeldt who recrused himself from Bush Administration decisions to eventually stockpile $1.8 billion of Tamiflu for the military, other than the fact that she was USN Rear Admiral retired.
    During her testimony before Congress with the FDA's Dr. David Graham  (not to be confused with Dr. David Graham whose testimony concerning two of the 911 hijackers who entered the U.S. through San Diego, California before moving to Louisiana was disregarded by the FBI and 911 Report) Kweder asserted the rigors of FDA approval:

"Detecting, assessing, managing and communicating the risks and benefits of prescription and over-the-counter drugs is a highly complex and demanding task. FDA is determined to meet this challenge by employing cutting-edge science, transparent policy and sound decisions based on the advice of the best experts in and out of the agency." 

     It was not readily apparent why such a rigorous process failed to show the limitations and dangers of Tamiflu, nor has Dr. David Graham fully explained why he has remained at the FDA after twenty years of whistle-blowing on the agency that employs him.

Perry Mounts Newt's Candidacy While Newt's Ex Speaks Up

As Perry Bails Out Newt's Ex-Wife Steps In

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

     Just as Rick Perry pulls the plug on his presidential bid and throws his support to Newt Gingrich, Newt's former wife reveals Gingrich's inability to negotiate a more flexible marriage arrangement.
     "He said 'Callista doesn't care what I do'," Newt's ex-wife told ABC News.  In what was an attempt to negotiate with his former wife of 19 years, Newt failed to pull off the renegotiation of the marriage arrangement.  Crowley A. Owlster the high priest of the Wide Open Fellowship of Silver Springs, Maryland said "Newt could have benefited from membership in our group.  Negotiating with repressed, close-minded and priggish spouses is our specialty and our fellowship is filled with happy, freedom loving members who have discovered the benefits of mutually rewarding dialectical relationships while maintaining the projection of conservative personae."
     When asked if Marianne Gingrich's interview will hurt Gingrich's candidacy, Owlster noted that David  Bruce Vitters, the Louisiana politician caught in a prostitution scandal was reelected in the last election in a conservative region.  "The hookers in Louisiana are very conservative religiously speaking," said Owlster.  "Just ask Jimmy Swaggart.  I'd tell you to ask the Chaplain of Bourbon Street, but he's in that big Bourbon Street in the sky," asserted Owlster.
     Meanwhile, Mormon sources close to Mitt Romney said, "Good grief, this is basic for us Mormans.  If Newt cannot negotiate this with a woman, what chance does he have of selling a peace treaty between the Palestinians and Jews or North and South Koreans?  The Saudi Royal princes will lose all respect for him from the get go."
     "Crap," said Perry, "I screwed up again.  If I had just waited a few days my lapse in memory will look like a little pimple on Haley Barbour's big butt.  As it is I now look like that damn Italian ship's captain who left the vessel while it was sinking or that guy who took off just before the Battle of the Alamo."
     As events unraveled in South Carolina reporters were flooding the Cayman Islands to learn more about the offshore accounts that provide Mitt Romney with his tax shelters and an effective tax rate of 15%.
     It is reported that Marianne Gingrich is concerned about Callista Gingrich's vindictiveness and proclivity to bite back.
     Anita Perry, the longest standing First Lady in Texas history and Rick's wife is the daughter of a Haskell, Texas physician.  A graduate of Texas Tech University and the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Anita Perry also practiced nursing for 17 years.  "Being a nurse, Anita keeps me in stitches," said Perry.  "If I ever pulled a stunt like the one that the lizard, Newt, pulled she'd castrate me," said Perry who concluded "and that's one point I'll never forget!"

Marines Wee Wee In Wrong Direction

Urinating U.S. Marines Ordered To Read Two Books

Books to Be Required Reading By All Marine Corp Grads

By Winsip Custer CPW News Service

     Following a peeing contest between four marines who had used the bodies of dead Afghanistan insurgents as targets, the U.S. Marine Corp is making two books required reading...Christian T. Miller's Blood Money and U.S. Marine Corp General and two time Congressional Medal of Honor winner Smedley Butler's War Is A Racket.

     A source within the military said “it’s high time that these little piglets knew the truth about the slop they have been ingesting.  Even in time of war there are standards and peeing on corpses is like peeing into the wind.  It will blow back on you.”

     I asked if the opening chapter of Christian Miller’s book wouldn’t deal an additional blow to the Marine’s morale as it explores the death of West Point’s leading ethicist, Col. Theodore “Ted” Westhusing,  on June 5, 2005 after a critical confrontation with General Petraeus in Iraq’s Green Zone.  Westhusing's views toward "Just Wars" had informed his life and mission in Iraq. Retired soldier, Barney W. Butler, no relation to Smedley, said “Yep, if they haven’t pissed away their brains in that stupid peeing contest I think it would sober them up a wee bit....pardon the pun.”  

     General Smedley Butler wrote War Is A Racket after a career in the Marine Corp and after winning the Congressional Medal of Honor twice.  Butlter says he came to believe that “I was a goon for the National City Bank Boys on three continents,” and exposed an American German Bund's planned coup de' tat that was made up of leading American industrialists and aimed at the overthrowing the U.S. Republic.  "The German Bund was making inroads into America's military through the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, who at the time were Prince Edward and his American girlfriend, Wallis Simpson.  They met at the Coronado Hotel near the San Diego, California naval base where our Marines and Navy Seals train," said Barney W. Butler.  "Battlefield conduct like this opens up the military to blackmail at home and a public relations nightmare worldwide," said Butler.

VULTURE CAPITALISM: WHY BARRY WYNN PUKES UP RICK PERRY

Perry Says Barry Wynn’s Vulture Capitalists Have Eye On Corporate Pensions...and then Social Security

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

     “I know the difference between venture capitalism and vulture capitalism,” said Rick Perry.

     The statement caused South Carolina’s leading vulture capitalist, Barry Wynn, to lick his wounds by withdrawing his support of Rick Perry for President in favor of Mitt Romney.

     Barry Wynn was appointed by George W. Bush as the head of the U.S. Government’s Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation which stands in the way of vulture capitalists dismantling America’s middle class before the further dismantling of the Social Security System, according to economist, Frederick M. Mellon, author of The Reconciliation of Ayn Rand.

     “Rick Perry knows the difference between good predators and carrion eaters.  It’s roughly the difference between farming and ranching with a long-term future in sight or being like a Mongol hoard raping and pillaging.  Vultures look for opportunity to eat the carcasses of dead things.  Good venture capitalists look for long-term, contributory opportunities that have a win-win outcome for individuals and society.”

The Carolinas don’t have a great history of looking out for others says Mellon.  “What with slavery, BlackWater Security, big tobacco that kills people, Perry knew exactly what he was talking about.  This is a pony that Perry can ride a long way given the strong reaction his statement  received and jettisoning Wynn is no great loss.  Hell, has there been bigger vultures or termites in American politics than the Bush family who as Texans have thrown their support to Romney?" asked Mellon.
       "Enron, World Com, Columbia/HCA, Health South, asbestos litigation limits, too big to fail,  bail outs for the wealthy, skewed executive compensation for dismantling America, bail outs for  Merrill-Lynch and AIG and other Bush connected companies, the S&L scandal, Iran-Contra, Dubai Ports deals which fell through with public outcry only to be taken over by insurance giant AIG which has no experience in legal port management.....now there's a deal you really have to worry about….need I say more?  Okay, when you consider that Enron wiped out peoples retirement pensions into which they had paid for years and consider Bush's push for deregulation while turning a blind eye to the shredding of Enron's records and giving them time.... when the Feds could have been called in to investigate much sooner.....then also figure that Arthur Anderson went down in the process, Perry knows about vultures at work.  Don't forget that Romney's Bain Capital made the resurrection of HCA and Dr. Thomas Frist possible after the disgrace of the Columbia/HCA FBI indictments and their record $1.7 billion in fraud fines.”

     Mellon believes that Mitt Romney’s Morman background is problematic, too.  “Whenever the power brokers, be they the Mobsters or the Wall Street  bankers or Washington lobbyists want a ‘yes’ man for their programs of deregulation, but a guarantee of security and consistency of dollars flowing steadily and reliably out of the middle and lower classes' pockets, they look for a good Morman.  Their secretive nature is their biggest selling point.    Just ask the Teamsters Union or Howard Hughes or anyone else who knows that they practically run Las Vegas.  Mitt’s Daddy was governor of Michigan and while labor has had in the past a strong voice there, which side of the fence do you think Mitt’s daddy was on?  Where did all the jobs go?  To the Third World... to communist countries,” said Mellon.

     In Mellon’s book on Ayn Rand he explores his economic theories.  “Ayn Rand said it nicely….’achievement without plunder.’  Romney, Bush and the other vultures know only plunder.  Hell look at Iraq and the cost of the war there and what did we leave?  A big ugly dust bowl, but they were after the oil anyway,” said Mellon.  "Colin Powell laid it out clearly.  'If we break it we own it.  So let's break it.  Iran, too, anyone?' So when the vultures suck the oil out of ground they then frack the ground until it implodes, kind of like a vulture eating out the carcass of a water buffalo.  All the while they say 'that's just business looking for opportunity.  And elephants will stick their trunks up another elephants ass and eat their feces, but that doesn't mean that people have to do likewise," said Mellon who worked as a zoo keeper while in college.  When Rick Perry says "I hope the Republican Party hasn't come to this," he knows better than any.

David Reis, John Robert Reeves and the Anatomy of a Tragedy

Fabian Colbachi on the San Diego Top Gun Shooting

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

     The New Year’s Day killings of four beautiful, bright and promising young people in San Diego, California has sent shock waves through a hub city of America’s US Navy arsenal.  The bizarre circumstances of the deaths seem to have found an answer in the coroner’s assessment of a love triangle with a murder/suicide as it modus operandi.

     “Not so fast,” said security and intelligence analyst, Fabian Colbachi.  “My heart goes out to the families of these young people.  I don’t have all the facts and it will take a while for them to all come out.  The police aren’t even releasing the  name of the young man who gave them a partial witness to the event.  Who was he?  Is he, like Reis and Reeves, USN?  Why are they not releasing his name so that a free press can ask him about what he saw?  What are the families' and friends' impressions of these young people, particularly John Robert Reeves and his  capacity to carry out such a grizzly enterprise?” asked Colbachi.
     Reeves' friends Josh Buck and Shane Cameron from Maryland indicated that it was totally out of character for Reeves.  Others have agreed.  "But here comes the psychological experts," said Colbachi, "and they'll give all manner of assessments of purported Reeve's on-line comments that come from who-knows-where?"
     Surprisingly, the editor of the Coronado Clarion, Al Graham, the ex-brother-in-law of The Doors' lead singer and son of a USN Admiral, Jim Morrison, was at the scene as police and ambulances were still arriving taking his own videos of the tragedy.  Colbachi noted that Graham would later report that he had interviewed Reeves in July, 2011 to cover the human interest side of Reeves' travels from Maryland to Coronado....not exactly an interesting story for a community built on jet pilots noted Colbachi.  Graham would explain how his earlier encounters found Reeves standoffish and moody..."even vindictive....which is an interesting word for a reporter to use on a cursory interview that is so juxtaposed to the testimony of the boy's friends," said Colbachi. So Graham decided not to write a story at all.  "How friggin' odd is that?" asked Colbachi.  Colbachi noted that Al Graham's wife is the paper's publisher and their own description from their September, 2010 article describing their new venture states....
There will be a strict policy of zero advertising but we will do positive stories about the services and businesses which we feel offer bona fide contributions to our community.  At the Clarion, we want to promote our citizens to support its local small town entrepreneurs and business enterprises. Further, we want to encourage Coronado residents to do their shopping locally in support of our shopkeepers and restaurateurs instead of their having to depend mostly on tourism revenues.

     "That's real dedication for a 68 year old non-profit newspaper man at 2:00 a.m. on New Years' Eve with his own video doing a blow by blow," said Colbachi with wry sarcasm.  In mid 2009 the major San Diego newspaper, the San Diego Union Tribune, a paper once owned by Adolph B. Spreckles, a Nazi sympathizer during the 1930's and 40's, was sold.  It was in the 30's and 40's that the Coronado Hotel was frequented by Nazi sympathizer, England's Prince Edward and American-born Nazi spy, Wallis Simpson.  The San Diego Union Tribune was bought by Boston based Bain Capital in 2009.  Bain has been accused of being a vulture capital group by Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry as they leveled criticism of Republican presidential campaign leader and Boston-based Bain executive, Mitt Romney.  Romney and Bain Capital have a reputation of slash and burn business practices that's undeniable.  Within days of the Bain purchase of the San Diego paper they laid off over 150 reporters and support staff effectively erasing the community's long-term memory-base.  By July 4, 2010 the Coronado Clarion published its premier issue.
     There is in Coronado a Graham Memorial Church and Mrs. Graham posts to that website. The preacher was educated in the Cushing's hometown of Boston at a seminary on whose board has served Billy Graham and Chuck Colson, the Watergate conspirator turned minister to the drug-pumped U.S. prison system," said Colbachi.

      "Yea, the seminary students will work in the homes of the leading Boston Brahmin families.  Names like Josiah Spaulding or Henry Cabot Lodge.  Spalding was a Hotchkiss School grad and Yale Bonesman. At Hotchkiss was Henry Luce, Porter Goss, Robert Bork and Spaulding also sat as Chairman of the Board of George Washington University which was founded by the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Baltimore, John Carroll.  Baltimore is home to Alexander Brown, whose companies Smedley Butler called the 'National City Bank Boys' for which Butler said he was a 'goon on three continents.'   Come to think of it Henry Ford was Hotchkiss, as well, and named by Smedley Butler as a conspirator with the German American Bund in the 1930's.  Fascist leanings.  Antonin Scalia went to GWU, but of course historically, Italians don't have Fascist leanings....except for the Dons and Musolini," said Colbachi  who noted that Scalia also led the 2000 Supreme Court power grab that  chose Bush over Gore.  "The nation should have demanded a recount of the whole state of Florida, but hey, the Sheriff of Coronado is Sheriff Gore, so Republican or Democrat what's the difference?" said Colbachi noting that Spaulding was also the head of the Republican Party in Massachusetts, home of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital.  George Washington University is also home to Norman L. Hicks, the former World Bank economist whose son, Sander Hicks, opened and closed Vox Pop Coffeeshop in Flatbush, NY and published the book by Jim Hatfield, Fortunate Son, about GHWB's cocaine arrest.  Hick's Soft Scull Press picked up the paperback after St. Martin Press under pressure burned the first edition and declined to publish.  Hatfield, like so many others died under mysterious circumstances.  Hicks also picked up the story of the Louisiana dentist, Dr. David Graham, who had met two of the 911 hijackers who had first entered the U.S. through San Diego.  Graham was, according to Hicks, poisoned before his testimony could be heard, though he had written his own report and presented it to FBI agents ten months before 911 along with a ninety minute video of his encounter with their Pakistani land lord.  The FBI agents told Graham that his fears were misguided.
     Sheriff William D. Gore, San Diego's leading lawman was also the FBI agent in charge of Ruby Ridge before being appointed Sheriff of San Diego County.
     Ruby Ridge, an incident that cost the Federal Government a $3 million settlement hardly compensated Randy Weaver for the death of his wife and son.  "It was a national disgrace  When Randy Weaver appeared before Congress, Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson from the same state as Al Gore and Dr. Thomas Frist, expressed his deep sympathies. Thompson never indicated that he was the attorney for Farhad Azima, the key arms merchant for Iran-Contra and the drug pipeline that it involved," said Colbachi.  
     In 2010 San Diego citizens were outraged that Sheriff William D. Gore brought a high tech sound weapon called an LRAD to a town hall meeting presumably to be used against rioting elderly. "You see why I'm concerned?" Colbachi offered noting that the San Diego police and county sheriff defended the purchase and use of the LRAD.  "William D. Gore is a perfect choice for a magistrate bent on keeping the lid on a larger scandal," said Colbachi.
    California is full of mind boggling relationships according to Colbachi.  The FBI agent in charge of the nearby LA office, Ted Gunderson,  married the widow of Anton LaVey, high priest of the Church of Satan, who preceded CIA operative and LaVey disciple, Col. Michael Aquino.  Aquino split with LaVey and created the Temple of Set at the Presidio," said Colbachi relating a child abuse scandal at the Presidio's daycare program that was repeatedly linked to Aquino.  "You can't make this stuff up!" he said.

     The leading U.S. merchant families made fortunes in the China Trade like their British cousins….opium from the Orient and Middle East.  Through a powerful navy they usurped the old British Empire which was trading in opium before the U.S..   New England Brahmins like the Russell family, the Cushings and Cabots and Alexander Brown maintained strategic ports in the Orient and England, too, specifically Liverpool.   Leading China Traders set U.S. drug policy and passed laws to prohibit even as they controlled the trade routes and illegal imports.  San Diego was initially to be the western-most terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad before San Francisco and it's importance relative to the opium crops of Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Golden Triangle was followed by the opening of the Panama Canal.  In time that region, too, flowed with the flood of drugs....cocaine.... from South America as evidenced by the Bush jailing of Manuel Noreiga who became an embarrassment for his handlers .  
     Families like those in the Francis Ford Coppola film, The Godfather, late arriving Italians and Irish Catholics, were infringing on these well controlled and secret territories first secured by America’s leading families….the Russells, Forbes, Tafts, Roosevelts, Cushings and others.  From above the table they control the laws and from under the table they control the contraband, hence their obsession with good public relations and cover-up.  
     "The move to prohibit drugs by law is a total sham. Total sham.  The Coppola scene of Marlon Brandon anguishing over whether to sell drugs in a crime family conclave may not have happened, but the anguish was real.  There was already a major supplier and it wasn't any of the five New York Italian crime families," said Colbachi.  
     In that same Coppola scene, the Don's say that they don't mind selling drugs to blacks, as if they are sub-human....a practice of the CIA that was well covered by Gary Webb in his reporting for the San Jose Mercury News and his book, Dark Alliance, but it wasn't Don Corleone doing it, but the CIA.  "When the son of Coronado's Admiral George S. Morrison, Jim Morrison of the Doors, sings the song titled WASP and speaks of joining the blacks out on the edges where they are 'stoned immaculate' the rock star was selling the very product his father's navy had protected for decades, if not centuries," said Colbachi indicating a type of culture/sub-culture dialectic at work. "So when Morrison's singing turns really, really dark toward Oedipal urges of patricide, that too is a sham since the USN protected the drug routes and Jim was a natural born druggie guru," said Colbachi singing..."China Traders sang bass, Papa sang tenor and little Jimmy chimed right in there."   Colbachi favors decriminalization of drug use and of private cultivation of small quantities of anything that could feed a drug cartel and monopoly.  "Like the repeal of prohibition, you legalize it and you kill these spineless spiders that lure our young into their web of deception and lies.  You pull the plug on their hidden profits and send the bankers into apoplexy, but also legitimate enterprises."
     Colbachi noted that the Navy Seal headquarters in Coronado are clearly a Swastika shaped structure built in 1967 at the height of the Vietnam War. He coupled the earlier complaint of Marine General Smedley Butler with current events noting that Butler had been approached by the heart of a Fascist element within the military to lead the overthrow of the democratically elected president FDR.  "You didn't learn about it high school and college presumably because FDR's New Deal depended on support from exposed industrialist culprits so a bargain was struck."  Colbachi pointed out the interest of Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson in the Coronado area along with the Fascist ownership of the Union Tribune showing that there may have been a resurgence of fascist power that Butler's courage helped to loosen this hard core before World War II.   Colbachi suggested that the recent purging with the lay offs at the Union Tribune could be an indicator of a return to Fascist sentiments as was Ruby Ridge.  "Weaver may not have been paying his taxes, but he wasn't hiding money in the Cayman Islands," said Colbachi. Colbachi also noted the strong San Francisco and LA interest in the Nazi occult.  "Gray Davis, the recalled California Governor is the son of Joseph Graham Davis, son of William Rhodes Davis, Adolf Hitler's oil agent in the USA (Mystery Man: William Rhodes Davis: Nazi Agent of Influence by Dale Harrington, 1999) You know an apple or orange tree by the fruit it produces," he said noting that without Gray Davis in office the rape of California by Enron would have been impossible.
     Anger and resentment among the leading Irish, Italian and Northern European families runs deep and the peace is a shallow one.  The sentiments get picked up in the Scorsese film, The Departed, when Costello says...." I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying - we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers; true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job, we had the presidency. May he rest in peace. That's what the niggers don't realize. If I got one thing against the black chappies, it's this - no one gives it to you. You have to take it."
     So now blacks, too, have received equality and  have served in the Office of President like the Irishman, JFK of the Roman Catholic persuasion, but both had Ivy League educations....Harvard...commandeered from the Protestant Bostonians by the burgeoning Irish Catholic immigration of the early and mid-19th Century. The Ivy League schools have been a repository for future leaders from among these key families, but none like Yale, and now they fear they are losing their grip on their empire or so Colbachi believes.   He thinks we see this somewhat in the recent Penn State Sandusky scandal where the traditional Northeastern families have had to move over to share power with names like Paterno, now unable to confirm or deny the connections, whose program  existed on the Western fringe of the Northeastern power elites’ frontier but in an Ivy League school.   If these elites operated as a law unto themselves, pedophilia was just another range of perversions that exists alongside other forms of repression and economic slavery.  "The Omaha scandal had the head of the Republican party there paying a $1,000,0000 settlement to the boy who leveled the charges," said Colbachi noting that the boy's attorney wrote the book The Franklin Cover-up.   Addiction to their drug products, as with alcohol,  cigarettes and nicotine was the icing on their lucrative cake. The hard working Italian, Coach Paterno, would not want to risk years of building this program by challenging these brutal, repressive and repulsive elites.    There may be no connection to it, but John Robert Reeves was in the Navy ROTC program at Penn State triggering in anyone’s mind an illogical, but visceral reaction….’oh well, what do you expect?',” said Colbachi who thought that the Sandusky revelation dropped between the Penn State and Nebraska game, with Omaha, Nebraska also being the center of pedophilia scandal called The Franklin Coverup, was suspicious.  The cover up centered on abuses by Republican activist, Larry King, a black banker indicted in the S&L scandal who was accused of using boys at the Roman Catholic Boy's Town for pawns in a pedophile ring.  Among notable Boy's Town graduates was the USN's Commander of the USS Pueblo, Cdr. Lloyd M. Bucher. 
     Colbachi believes that the more interesting story about John Robert Reeves...and there is so little being written about this young man whose quiet funeral was held on Saturday, January 14th in Maryland, may not be as the Coronado Clarion editor believed about Reeve's truck, but about Reeve's father's interest in boats.  Specifically high-speed hydrofoils, thus linking the Reis' and Reeves' family histories.   Reeve's father appears to have been a member of the International Hydrofoil Society before his death in 2001. The Society celebrates the history of the hydrofoil which was an important interest of American eugenicist and inventor, Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel Gardiner Hubbard Bell.  Following World War II, Operation Paper Clip scientists from Germany, leading Nazi scientists, were imported to the U.S. and the West to help develop not only rockets, nuclear weapons and mind sciences, but also the promising new hydrofoil.
      "A member of the IHF is Helmut Carl Koch.  It is not known if this hydrofoil scientist, a man who partnered with Eastern European and Bolivian metals miner and Bolivian tourism advocate, Darius Morgan, whose Santa Maria tin and lead mines in Bolivia were once owned by one of the world's richest men, Simon I. Patino, is related to Fred Koch of Koch Industries, but it does not seem a stretch given their German and U.S. military roots.  This Helmut Koch built a hydrofoil called the Albatross in San Diego.  In Bolivia and Peru a copy of the Albatross was brought in to provide a link to the tourist route between La Paz, Bolivia and Cuzco, Machu Pichu, Peru.  Machu Pichu has long been the interest of those concerned that Yale University connected as it is to CIA leaders was raping and pillaging weaker nations and that Machu Pichu's historic artifacts were appropriated by Yale and were only recently returned after a lengthy legal battle that focused on stealing a people's history and heritage," said Colbachi noting that the Nazi occult saw the acquisition of the cultural artifact of conquered civilizations as a source of power.  He believes that this is ultimately what brought the German Saxe-Gotha-Windsor prince to the Coronado Hotel as much as his interest in Wallace Simpson, but also sent him into exile at Churchill's command. 
     "There's also a big question now about whether or not Helmut Koch is the Helmut Koch whose interest in Nazi SS pagan worship, the Black Sun and other pagan symbols of the Thule Society were at the center of the Nazi occult.  It was not until the reunification of Germany that films surfaced from 1943 when a central occult book of Thule paganism called Necronomicon was filmed during and after its removal from the Bibliotheque Nationale.  Some of the photos included a Nazi soldier named Helmut Koch are shown holding the book," said Colbachi who indicated that this was another reason that the godless Russians claimed to distrust religion.  "Apart from the universal Golden Rule that finds a counterpart in most of the major religions of the world, the Nazis saw the Golden Rule as a sign of weakness," said Colbachi.  Colbachi noted the hypocracy in Stalin's socialism, but also that Alexander Graham Bell's leading hydrofoil scientist was Frederick Walker Baldwin a graduate of Ridley College in Canada.  Ridley is the alma mater of John Irving Bell, a noted geneticist on the board of Roche Pharmaceutical Co. which has recently been in the news for the false claims of its pandemic flu defense drug called Tamiflu.  Tamiflu is a drug which the Bush government stockpiled to the tune of $8 billion and which Secretary of Defense Rumsfeldt purchased for the U.S. military, but was reported in late 2010 and early 2011 to be ineffective in combating flu.  Rumsfeldt's work for other drug companies included JD Searle and the push for FDA approval of Aspertame or Nutri-Sweet and which critics often cite as a sample of FDA mismanagement.  Rumsfeldt was called by President Richard Nixon "that ruthless little bastard."
     Colbachi noted that murdered aviator, David Reis and his sister, Karen, were from Bakersfield, California, a city embroiled in the satanic ritual child abuse scandal of the 1980's that tied to Col. Michael Aquino's child abuse case at San Francisco's Presidio army base that many said went to the top of America's power elite's pyramid.  Aquino's molestation case was dropped by the same U.S. District Judge who was identified by Gary Webb as a firewaller for the CIA and Ricky Ross' cocaine pipeline to California.  Reis' mother works with families in Bakersfield and with many neglected, mistreated and abused children.  "Can you think of a more powerful message to 'shut the hell up' in light of everything else that San Diego's Navy Seal community has been experiencing lately?" asked Colbachi who believes that teachers, social workers and other helping professions are the first to comprehend the sources of community problems.   Colbachi reiterated that the San Jose Mercury News was the same news paper that had covered the Presidio child abuse case and made Gary Webb's connections between the Northern California judge, Joseph Russenniello, who dismissed the Aquino case, but was also providing judicial cover for the Iran-Contra/Freeway Ricky Ross drug highway into L.A..
     Karen Reis worked at Trader Joe's a company owned by the German Aldi Group, founded by Germany's richest men, the Albrecht brothers.  Today, an Aldi store stands on the sight of Spandau prison  home to infamous Nazi war criminals including Rudolf Hess.  "Spandau was demolished to prevent it from becoming a Nazi shrine, but what does that make of the business built on top of it?" asked Colbachi.   Hess who was born in Alexandria Egypt... the country where Alister Crowley said his cult originated... moved to Germany with his parents.  Rising to the number three in power in the Nazi Reich, in 1941 Hess flew to the estate of Lord Hamilton in England, crashing his plane in the process of trying to negotiate an agreement with elements of the British leadership opposed to Churchhill. British intelligence officer and future 007 author, Ian Fleming, attempted to allow Alister Crowley to interview Hess for British Intelligence, an idea flatly rejected by Churchhill.  Like the Albrecht brothers, Hess shared a love of horticulture, specifically growing orchids.  Trader Joe's was the target of the pro-union grocery worker's unions in California in the fall of 2011 who picketed the stores blocking access.
     During Prohibition in the 1920's especially along the US/Canada border where Hiram Walker owned the bulk of the distilleries, fast boats were needed to outrun the Feds.  The same was true in South Florida where in the 1980's the drug of choice was not alcohol, but cocaine.  The boat of choice was the Donzi or Cigarette speedsters made by Miami businessman, Don Aranow, but Miami was also home to Darius Morgan's earlier hydrofoil production facility.

     In the 1920’s George Reis and Gar Wood set new speed records on the water with their cutting-edge speed boats.  This would lead to them making a fortune in the speedboat business and eventually winning them a contract for the USN’s PT boat.

      In San Diego is a post-hardcore  musician named John Reis.   In his band, Hot Snakes, is bass guitar player, Gar Wood.  Is Gar Wood the grandson of the speed boat builder, Gar Wood, who ran with George Reis and Italian big band leader Guy Lombardo?  I don’t know,” said Colbachi, “but I’d bet money on it and it’s the kind of thing that a San Diego detective working on this case or the coroner who is trying to help solve it will in all likelihood not think is important.”

     “On John Robert Reeves’ Facebook page is a picture of  President Abe Lincoln holding an assault weapon.  Why Lincoln?  I suspect that it's because Mr. Reeves knew that Abe Lincoln had a particularly deep appreciation of the U.S. Navy, especially the first Navy Seal,  William Barker Cushing, AKA Sea Eagle,  whose story is told in the book The Sea Eagle: The Civil War Memoires of William Barker Cushing.  While it is difficult to find a direct connection between Sea Eagle and the Cushing family of Massachusetts, the fact that he used his connections with the Secretary of the Navy to his advantage and placement says otherwise.

     Directly next door to the condo where the killings took place lives Don Hubbard.  Hubbard, a retired USN commander and expert in SIB’s or ‘ships in a bottle’ served as consultant on the Robert De Niro film, The Good Shepherd.   I would want to know if he is related to the USN intelligence officer and wacko religionist and the head of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, whose connections to Alister Crowley he has admitted and both of whose connections to the movie industry are well known. L. Ron Hubbard's son has also spoken publicly of his father's use of his navy connections and Scientology money for drug smuggling. Is he related to Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell?  I would suspect that David Reis’ next door neighbor, Don Hubbard,  knows Naval Criminal Investigative Service Association (NCISA) member George Reis….the same name as that of Gar Wood’s close associate and boat builder,” said Colbachi.  "How are they related?" he asked thinking there might also be a connection to Mabel Gardiner Hubbard Bell.

     Colbachi believes that America has come face to face with its own failed drug policies and hidden feudal form of capitalistic chauvinism.  He believes that the free market is forever tied to the morality and ethics inherent in the Golden Rule and that the warring factions disregard it. “The USN will accept the love triangle explanation in deaths of Reeves and Reis long before it would admit to an attack on its own corrupt system.  It’s time to change America’s drug policies for the sake of the nation and world,” said Colbachi.  “The Skull and Bones boys won’t be happy about it and neither will the Gotti’s, Giancana’s or Whitey Bulgers, and whoever else... like Freeway Ricky Ross in years past... the conduit for the South Central LA pipeline, and others from Harlem, Miami or the South Chicago drug cess pools, but enough is enough,” said Colbachi who believes that no politician in American is up to the job given the people's lethargy and the extent of the corruption.  "I'm not a Utopianist, but the world simply cannot continue with this infantile lunacy and the War on Drugs was always a sham.  Add to it the Mexican and South American drug war baddies and the battles in the Middle East over oil and poppie fields and you get the picture of a dire situation that only a new vision of the world will address and perhaps forestall Armageddon.  Don Hubbard said that San Diego has never had this level of violence.  People will feel comfort in believing that it's another case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or a kid with a severe case of unrequited love or too much testosterone mixed with booze," said Colbachi, noting the 2010 tirade of another Coronado Seal on the Vegas Strip which the young man's attorney explained away with a defense of an unintentional drug induced stupor.   Colbachi said that he had read at least four posting by Reeves' friends who will not believe he did it.  "If these postings are the real thing it keeps open the possibility that something else was going on.  What do other friends say?" he asked "and when will we hear from them?  Remember that medical examiners said that Gary Webb killed himself and that Col. Theodore 'Ted' Westhusing killed himself, too.  Bull!  Families should demand to see every shred of evidence including the microscopic kind."  Colbachi noted especially the words of the father of Reeves' close friend, Theodore Karol.  Karol's father, Eugene, is the vice president of the Calvert County Public School System where Reeves went to school. "It just doesn't make any sense at all," said Theodore's father.

     “So you don’t think that Reeves killed himself and the other three?” I asked.

     “This whole thing looks like the perfect definition of a cluster fxxx,” said Colbachi.  “Great care should be taken, now.  I'd advise the families not to cremate their bodies.  Don Hubbard has a publishing company called Sea Eagle Publishing.  If someone were wanting to take a slap at the Navy leadership in a way that sends a chilling statement….as De Niro does in The Good Shepherd when you think about it...this would do it.   I don’t have any concrete answers, but I have some damn hard questions that are unsatisfied with the San Diego PD’s all too easy solution to this tragedy,” said Colbachi who admitted that he didn't want to see a shift from America's leadership toward an American-Italian model.  "I like Sicilian pizza, but not their codes of silence and dictatorial and capricious government.  I don't like that in any culture."
     Colbachi believes that the remedy for a diseased democracy is more democracy.  He said that sunlight is a great disinfectant, but cautioned that opening the door to a prison system that has packed in the drug pushers' pushers would likely lead to something akin to a new Peasants' Revolt.  "The middle ground is what we need," said Cobalchi who also noted that the attack on America's middle-class is killing the very salvation of the nation. "We need the homogeneity of the Swedes but with people of various skin tones, religious preferences and eye shapes," said Colbachi.  "We need a responsibly armed, educated, drug-free and decriminalized-drug-warless nation."

     “With so many Coronado soldiers lost in the Osama Bin Laden attack, and twenty one Seals killed in another helicopter crash in the months following, something seems wacky," said Colbachi.   "Among them was another Robert Reeves and his good friend from Louisiana, Jonas Kelsall whose father is the CEO of Lakewood, California Chamber of Commerce between LA and San Diego.  Seals are selected for their superior qualities from all regions of the country, but even so with that many dead Seals who appear to me to come from strategically placed hometowns from across the U.S it's even wackier.  A public relations ploy to garner widespread sympathy for the enterprise of war? It could be a coincidence that two Robert Reeves who are Seals die within such a short time span under such mysterious circumstances, but  it could be something else.    Jonas Kelsall, like Col. Theodore "Ted" Westhusing, went to the University of Texas in Austin where Kelsall graduated with a degree in French in 2001.  Austin is also where conspiracy radio talk-show host, Alex Jones, has claimed that the Seal Team 6 loss of so many Seals was not coincidental.  Using the inarticulate reporting of what Jones calls 'Col. Sixx'....a Colonel who judging from the man's voice is African American and though this shouldn't make any difference, his stammering weakens his argument. Alex Jones claims Col. Sixx predicted the firing of General Stanley McCrystal triggered by a scandal, presumably fired by Patraeus, but is there any bigger scandal than the death of Col. Theodore Westhusing after his confrontation with Patraeus?  "Would such a prediction increase Col. Sixx's credibility as a source or just add confusion? Jones makes the case that the Bin Laden raid was intended to place President Obama in the best possible light, but Obama’s connections to the Lincoln/Cushing/Navy Seal connection was already apparent before the Bin Laden killing...a killing doubted by former Delta Force soldier and Minnesota Governor, Jesse Ventura, who cites Bin Laden's kidney condition and need for dialysis as reason to wonder if he was even alive in 2011. "If a Bin Laden look alike was in that room and didn't surrender, he was a dead man," said Ventura. "But the Seals could have been fooled themselves," said Ventura.   
     Obama's connections to Republican President Lincoln and the first Navy Seal, William B. Cushing, is seen through Michele Obama's work at Sidley and Austin the Springfield, Illinois law firm that handled the affairs of Mary Todd Lincoln and which merged with Brown and Wood of New York about a year before 911.  Brown and Wood was domiciled in the World Trade Center,” said Colbachi.  “Austin, Texas is also where the current leader of Col Michael Aquino’s Temple of Set lives and works.  In the introduction of the successor of Col. Michael Aquino, Stephen Edred Flower's book, Black Runa, he describes the connections of the satanic church of California to Texas,” Colbachi continued.
     Colbachi drew the connections between San Diego's Brandes International and Matheson and Jardine, the British company that had excelled in the China Trade even before the New England Brahmins. "Matheson and Jardine knew that the Transcontinental Railroad punching through a Southern route laid out by Jefferson Davis in the 1850's at San Diego would cut months off of their shipments of oriental imports and opium reaching Europe.  They helped to back the building of that southern rail route in Texas in partnership with Uriah Lott, but the injection of the Civil War aimed at securing this route proved problematic.  The rise of the KKK stalled their takeover of the southern route to San Diego so the Northern rail barons pushed the route north through the  Rockies to San Francisco and with it, the upper hand in rail transportation. This halted the need for Reconstruction. The Brahmins used the period of Reconstruction to further stall the South's transporation ambitions and the Southern route was completed a full ten years after the golden spike completed the Rockie Mountain route.  The Southern Atlantic ports were out of luck and New England remained in power.  Charles Brandes was a disciple of Benjamin Graham, a relative of Warren Buffett.  That may be another connection to Graham Memorial Church in San Diego," said Colbachi noting that Buffet's hometown of Omaha, Nebraska was the key hub city in the northern Transcontinental railroad route.  "And don't forget that while we took over the China Trade from the Brits while sending Christian missionaries there to be our ambassadors of good will, Pearl S. Buck, the daughter of Christian missionaries to China wrote The Good Earth, returning to the States, she renounced her church affiliations and worked for better American China relations by helping Chinese orphans created partly by the very Opium Wars that we had continued," said Colbachi.
      "You are saying that our leaders would sacrifice American soldiers for a public relations ploy?" I asked Colbachi.
      "Read The Expendable Elite by Daniel Marvin.  Consider Pat Tillman, Jessica Lynch, Ted Westhusing," said Colbachi.

     “George H.W. Bush was USN,” I said,  “That’s right.  And Bones,” said Colbachi, “And Obama went not to San Diego to thank the Seals for the Osama kill, but to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the helicopter unit from the National Guard where the new head of the CIA, General Patraeus, was struck with that mysterious bullet that was sewn up by Senator Dr. Thomas Frist.  Bush has the most modern aircraft carrier in the U.S. fleet named after him and Nero was building monuments and fiddling while Rome burned.  And not ten miles from Bush's place at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida Don Aranow was gunned down for supplying the U.S. DEA with boats capable of catching the very boats Aranow had already supplied to the drug runners.  You see a pattern here?” asked Colbachi.   "Randy Weaver was a Green Beret and Col. Bo Gritz, the most decorated soldier in Viet Nam says we were there for the Golden Triangle drugs and oil," said Colbachi. 
     I asked Colbachi if he could be more specific.  "Sure.  Running within this group you will find a cadre of civilians who are experts in ground, air and water hot rods.  Consider the Reno Air Show and the recent crash there that claimed nine lives.  As with NASCAR's connection to bootlegging, so the fast boats and planes have connections to smuggling that are historic.  That continues.  I'd look for close connections to the keys players in the San Diego/Coronado killings, or even in the reporting, not just to the George Reis/Gar Wood history, but to more recent history.  Are there people close to all of the key players, Reis, Reeves, the insurance agent, even the reporters covering or covering over the story in this sad tale to more recent murders, and by recent I'd say in the last twenty or so years.....from about the time of the Iran-Contra debacle, say about 1988, and the connections made by Gary Webb to the California smuggling operations from South of the border.   Remember that the Coronado USN Admiral that oversaw the entire Gulf of Tonkin incident during the Vietnam War was Adm. George S. Morrison, father of The Door's lead singer, Jim Morrison.  Morrison's unauthorized biographer was Danny Sugerman who married Oliver North's secretary, Fawn Hall, leading her into a cocaine addiction. Until his death Morrison's father lived in Coronado.  An attack on the Coronado history would be an attack on the US power elites themselves and if these murders were to send a message, that message could be going in either direction....either as a breaching or a fire-walling by one side or the other of the warring parties.   The murders of Mickey Thompson and his wife by Mike Goodwin come to mind, as well.    Thompson broke the 400 mph land speed record and was a Baja racer.  Following these speedsters is the same as saying 'follow the money.' My bet is that with drugs coming up from the Mexican cartels, just as opium products do from the orient through U.S. Navy protected California ports, you will find a clear connection of fast boats, cars and planes between San Diego, Coronado and Tijuana, Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan.  In England where Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin played their last concerts at the Isle of Wight, a leading grocery chain like Trader Joe's is called Morrison's.  It's leadership comes predominantly from former Matheson and Jardine executives. Is there a family connection to Jim Morrison of the Doors and his father's family?  I don't know, but it's quite possible and there's that key connection of England and the Isle of Wight where Morrison, Hendrix and Joplin did their last concerts before dying of drug overdoses.  The Isle of Wight has a long history of pagan cult connections even with its close proximity to Plymouth and that city's importance to the departure of the Pilgrim Puritans looking for a New Jerusalem. This region of England has a longstanding interest in hydrofoils for speeding across the English Channel.  After World War II ferrying soldiers quickly across large bodies of water was seen as an important military tactic. The man in charge of the Manhattan Project with J. Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie Groves was Vannevar Bush.  It's nearly inpossible to connect Vannevar to the Bush family, but the pumps used on the Manhattan project were built by Dresser Industries whose Bush family connections are clear.  Vannevar Bush was also keenly interested in hydrofoils for moving troops quickly across water and was President Truman's advisor on the new technology," said Colbachi.   
     Colbachi described the connection between the Admiral's son, Jim Morrison, to beat poet, Michael McClure whose galaxy of fellow poets included Jack Kerouac, Alan Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs, son of the founder of the National Cash Register Company and member of the German American Bund  that made up the "Business Plot" against FDR.  Noting that McClure and Burroughs often pounded the sand at Venice Beach where The Doors first practiced together in seaside condo, Colbachi  said "I still think that William S. Burroughs is related to Harold Burroughs Rhodes who created the first electric piano that The Doors' keyboarder, Ray Manzarek, made famous."
     Colbachi noted that The Doors’ recording of Break On Through To The Other Side has been characterized as their defining song.  Released in 1966, by 1968 even Anglican Bishops like James Albert Pike in San Francisco were writing spiritualist books containing the title....The Other Side: An Account of My Experiences With Psychic Phenomon.  Morrison’s close friend, Scottish poet Michael McClure, is recorded in the film Classic Albums: The Doors after reading the lyrics to this song says 'that’s a real positive statement,'  Then he quotes William Blake who said…. '…the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.'  Then McClure applies another Blake poem to Morrison, the Admiral’s son,  ‘…Blake said 'Prudence is a rich, ugly old maid courted by incapacity'  and I think Jim utterly lacks prudence.'  McClure smiled a toothy grin after saying it.  Of course few realize that Blake is a central figure to Alister Crowley’s Gnostic Mass which he considered the crowning achievement and the central rite of his Ordo Templi Orientis cult. William Blake, whose philosophy had been richly informed by the anti-monarchial reformers of the English Civil War era wrote… “Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have governed their passions or have no passions but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of heaven are not negations of passion but realities of intellect from which all the passions emanate in their eternal glory," Colbachi quoted.   "Any way you cut it Blake makes heaven as much an earned destination as Crowley made of its opposite, which I believe negates the entire idea of it just as Crowley desired, but hey, I'm no expert.  But, of course, the monopolies that fed the passions and this whole cabaret of bizarre blitherings were the disguised monarchies that controlled and still control the highways, rail lines and shipping lanes leading towards capitals of re-enslavement," he said.  Colbachi also noted the connection between L. Ron Hubbard, the U.S. Naval intelligence officer and founder of Scientology and his wife Sara Northrup who had been involved with John Whiteside Parsons, the Cal Tech rocket scientist who was also a member of Crowley's Ordo Templi Orentist cult in California.  Northrup, who divorced Hubbard, maintained his mental, emotional and physical cruelty in the divorce petition including ritualistic torture and she charges that her child was kidnapped by Hubbard and two associates including the adopted son of famous Hollywood movie mogul, Cecil B. DeMille, Richard B. DeMille.

Colbachi smiled.  "And do you really think that excess leads to wisdom?  Since when?  It is like opium's or LSD's promise of freedom. There's the intial relief from pain and the initial expanded horizon and then comes the gut punch of realizing you're falling out of a twenty story building.  Excess leads to wisdom?  Wasn't that the original temptation?   McClure may smile for his dead friend, but I rather think that the young man was in agony given the double bind he was in, but it's war," said Colbachi relating this agony to the possibility of Reeve's situation and then doubting it.  "It's war, though it doesn't have to be, and as General Smedley Butler said 'war is a racket'."
