Hoshko's Consulting Questioned by Huffington Post

USN Shooter's Employer Quick To Solicit Clean-up Opportunity

Intelligence 'Actuator' beats Huffington Article by Five Days!

by Barron "Buck" Neyh Kidd, CPW News Services

      The Huffington Post has reported that Thomas Hoshko, the US Navy Intelligence-connected CEO of The Experts which has provided security consulting for a variety of U.S. companies including Chevron Oil, solicited potential business that resulted directly from the massacre.  The law suit between one of Hoshko's clients, Chevron,  and the Nigerian protestors requesting that the U.S. company take the lead in shutting down the oil production by moving onto a Chevron oil platform, turned into a Nigerian nightmare.  Chevron paid Nigerian security forces to remove the protesters who were subsequently tortured and murdered.  A U.S. judge ruled that Chevron liability in the case was questionable because Nigerian political leaders are corrupt and regularly receive security payments from international oil producers, not just Chevron.

     Fred Rogers, a retired navy intelligence "actuator" who previously reported in Aaron Alexis' Employer and Boss, Thomas E. Hoshko, Not Just Anybody, on September 16th, five days before the Huffington Post article said, "well, this is definitely a case of a U.S. judge providing cover for bottom feeding siphoners." 

     Rogers was circumspect in his assessment.  "When in Nigeria do as the Nigerians!  Especially if not doing so is a threat to your bottom line. Remember the bottom line. I wouldn't want to be in that judge's position because with the U.S. going to wars around the globe on the premise that we are THE champion of democracy, the experts are saying that Chevron is just following the downward descent toward the bottom line....right on into the law of the jungle in Nigeria in order to power the practice of democracy at home.  It's ugly.  Really ugly, and it helps us in this context to understand that old joke about 'experts'......'rightly defined an expert is a spert under pressure.  Sperts are messy.  It's a messy world, but Hoshko can clean it up....for a price."

     Rogers, who had drawn Hoshkos' connections to Chevron and Chevron's to Nigeria said, "with somewhere between ten to twenty percent of the oil from the Nigerian river delta being skimmed by the local gang leaders and whatever politicians are working with them, the rest does little to raise the standard of living for Nigerians.  Unlike, say, oil rich Kuwait, Nigerians don't have as unified a cultural heritage like Kuwait's.  It's cross-tribal. Kuwait, whose oil revenues are pumped back into the nation, enjoy an unparalleled living standard.  This is what made Kuwait such a prize for Saddam Hussein.  The Kuwaitis, however, always believed that other Arab nations would come to their defense against Saddam Hussein, but were sorely awakened to the fact that blood is no thicker than water when it comes to oil dollars and military plunder.  Into these and other power vacuums rushes all type of opportunists....some like Hoshko with significant ties to the world's intelligence, oil production and military assets.  I could envision that the U.S. Navy or private duty former navy experts sitting off of the Nigerian river delta would put American entrepreneurs and their non-aligned projects in a favored position for getting some of the 20% skim.  The game goes right up the chain as we saw in Saudi Arabia not taking a more active part in Kuwait's defense.  We did for Kuwait what they would not do for themselves and which their blood brothers wouldn't do either....but of course they paid our oil companies well for their influence in triggering the use of our military.  How did we get repaid?  Fifteen of the nineteen 911 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and we invaded Iraq a second time to finish what Saudi Arabia and Kuwait's Arab 'allies' should have done to begin with.  So our $60 billion war, soon swelled to trillions paid by tax payers who were subsidizing the oil companies through our military.  You know.  Those free market Capitalists who don't believe in socialized medicine believe in subsidized misadventures for their profits.  As the comedian Lewis Black has said 'there will not be oil independence in my lifetime because it's just too damn hard!'  Yea, well, with this stuff going on he's absolutely right.  There's simply no grand vision.  No real leadership. No well-thought-out and widely embraced plan and resulting policy.  Only the sludged-up bottom feeding of the industrialized past ad nausea.  Is there any linkage between Aaron Alexis' mind-set at the time of the brutal slayings and Hoshko's service to Chevron and the case against Chevron?  Not yet, but this thing is getting crazier and crazier with the passing of time and new revelations."

     Rogers said the move by Hoshko to solicit a job to help beef up security in the Navy Yard was the equivalent of Al Qaeda offering to provide security at Ground Zero in New York City during the clean up of the World Trade Center or the U.S. decision to invade Iraq when none of the hijackers were from Iraq....opportunists waiting for an excuse. "Hoshko's one ballsy SOB.  I guess he considers it good work if you can get it, but.....damn!" said Rogers.

 

AARON ALEXIS' AIRPORT ENCOUNTER LEAVES TROUBLING QUESTIONS

GAPING HOLES IN AIRPORT INCIDENT RAISE QUESTIONS IN THE AARON ALEXIS CASE.

by Zelda Voroasion CPW NEW SERVICE

     Breaking news that a family from Alabama on their way to a family reunion was the group that Aaron Alexis encountered in the Newport RI airport.  The incident has left troubling new questions about Aaron Alexis' background.

     Fred Rogers, a former intelligence "actuator", has looked at the reporting of the airport incident and said "wow, this raises many more questions than it answered."

     Fred Rogers has previously spoken about his take on the incident and essentially surmised that "anything is possible with respect to motives in this case given the location of the Navy Ship Yard, Alexis' security clearance, his employer, The Experts, and Mr. Hoshko's background in U.S. Naval and NSA intelligence and the freedoms that Alexis had to move around the world.  Most troubling is the time line.  The family says it happened on August 4th.  At least one newspaper said that it was on August 23rd, and unless there was more than one airport incident then there's a discrepancy.  Secondly, the Newport policeman's report was made on August 7th.  Now that's close to the 4th, but why would a police report take three days to write?  The reporter who tracked down the police report said that Aaron Alexis' name had been redacted from the report.  Why?  That's a public record in most states?  Why was his name redacted leaving the family to fill in the details that should be public record? I can't press this point strongly enough. Thirdly,   why was Alexis having to travel from Washington's VA hospital to the Rhode Island's VA hospital?  What made this expensive mode of transportation necessary for a man who wasn't being paid regularly by The Experts according to his Fort Worth friends?"

     Michael Ritrovato, Aaron Alexis' friend from Fort Worth, Texas painted a picture of a friendly man who was considered family to the Happy Bowl Restaurant where military photos hung on the walls and where Alexis seemed knowledgeable and comfortable with military hardware and weaponry.  Appearing on Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday night Ritrovato did not explain the connection of Aaron's room at the family restaurant and friendship with the owner, but he did say that Aaron had told him that his employer was slow in paying Alexis.

     Attempts to contact Mr. Hoshko to confirm or deny Mr. Ritrovato's comments were unsuccessful.  "With his success at his three companies that posted record earnings during his tenure it seems illogical that The Experts weren't paying Aaron Alexis timely," said Fred Rogers, a former Naval Intelligence "Actuator".  Rogers offered his speculation as to what might have happened.  "Either Alexis was a lone wolf that went postal because he hadn't been paid or he could have been suffering from PTSD following his Naval Reserve assignment/s which seems unlikely unless there were aspects of his Reserve service that aren't readily apparent.   Some health problem cannot be ruled out....like a brain tumor.  He also could even have been on assignment as a Manchurian Candidate by the Communist Chinese, North Koreans or white American or European supremacists who want to start a race war, but given the multi-racial victims as targets that seems unlikely or a very subtle mind bender.  An international cartel that wants the U.S. to back out of the 2nd Amendment so that it can be subjugated by marshal law?  A hard right crypto-Nazi "Business Plot" like in the 30's with mind control abilities?  You also can't rule out that he was a latent psychopath whose interest in violent video games was a window on a twisted mind or that he had some other undiagnosed psychological fracture.  Some have speculated that he had a case of reverse-Stockholm or Helsinki syndrome similar to that experienced in Los Angeles with a another U.S. Navy retiree turned policeman, Christopher Dorner."

     "Most people don't realize the centrality of the U.S. Navy to the intelligence community.  Those who have read The Nightingale's Song by Robert Timberg begin to understand the breadth of it, but not always the depths," said Rogers.

C-SPAN FREEDOM FESTERING WITH PAUL SKOUSEN AND WAYNE ALLYN ROOT

Gambling Man No Obama Fan
Mormon Agent No Peeping Tom Jefferson

By Les Ishmore Truly for CPW News Services

     While at the Las Vegas Freedom Fest, C-Span’s Peter Slin interviewed two “liberative-conservable” authors who both claim that Obama is bad news for the Republic.

     Paul Skousen is the son of Mormon apologist and John Birch Society supporter who died in 2006, Cleon Skousen.  Cleon Skousen had written The Naked Communist while Paul, building upon his father's legacy, published The Naked Socialist.  Slin, to his credit, pointed out that Skousen had criticized the 14^th Amendment which provided freedom for slaves.  Slin failed, however, to ask the former CIA agent who told of how as an agent appointed to the Reagan White House, he could peer into the Oval Office and see the goings on, how he could so cavalierly dismiss this part of the book when the Mormon Church has historically been a bastion of racism.  A strong Tea Party supporter, Skousen did not mention that Fred Koch, the father of the Koch twins who battled over control of their father’s chemical and petroleum empire, was also a founding supporter of Robert Welch’s ultra-right John Birch Society.

     Skousen pointed out that his father, Cleon, had sold over a million of his books in the 1950's.  No surprise considering that this was the decade of Senator Joseph McCarthy's "Red Scare".  Skousen claims that Cecil B. DeMille gave his father, Cleon, a former FBI Agent and Police Chief of Salt Lake City, the name for his book, The Naked Communist saying "Cleon, you have stripped Communism naked".  One critic of DeMille's assessment of Cleon Shousen's book said "not naked enough.  Anthony Sutton did that in National Suicide by showing that the West provided the essential industrial technology that brought the Bolsheviks into the 20th Century while Henry Ford's trucks were being supplied to the North Vietnamese from Russia's Gorki plant during the Vietnam War....a charge supported by the respected U.S. security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski."  

     It is widely known that DeMille's fellow Hollywood movie mogul, Howard Hughes, whose companies built planes for the CIA and who provided his ship, the Glomar Explorer, built under contract by the CIA to raise a submerged Russian submarine for the U.S. government, was also fond of employing the "Mormon Mafia" to run his Las Vegas Casinos. According to Las Vegas watcher, Newton P. Wayne, "Mr. Skousen could likely tell us a thing or two about the connections between Salt Lake City, the "Red Scare", the Mafia control of Vegas and the hypocrisy in the FBI's relationship to the Underworld." said Wayne.

     Not surprisingly Skousen was followed on the same C-Span coverage from the Freedom Fest by Columbia University educated New Yorker, Wayne Allyn Root.  Root has written The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide.   Root promised that the book would help readers to profit from the economic downturn under Obama.  Root, the valedictorian of his high school class at Thorton Donovan School in New Rochelle, New York, a school with 175 students that Wikipedia lists as having two notable alumi, Root and Joey Kramer, the drummer for Aerosmith, is equally sure that Obama is a socialist.

     “Root is very energetic in his presentation.  A regular Dale Carnegie instructor who intends to run against Nevada's U.S. Senator Harry Reid.  A political science graduate from Columbia University from the same class as Barack Obama, Root claims he never met Obama while at Columbia.  While Root clearly dislikes Obama, he loves Las Vegas and encouraged all who want a positive non-socialistic environment to relocate there,” said Brooks Foster of Foster Consultants, an expert on business investment in Las Vegas.  “Root compared the Obama government to the Gambino crime family and then said he took it back, because he didn’t want to offend the Gambinos who he considers more just and equitable than Obama,” said Foster.  In a previous article on business life in Las Vegas, Foster said “The U.S. was in a depression, the Great Depression.  The economy was dead in the water.  Henry Ford’s cars weren’t selling and Harvey Firestone’s tires were rotting in their racks.  So what did they do?  They decided to support  regime change starting with FDR,” said Foster.

 

     Foster, who blew a fog horn on shady healthcare practices,  noted that this was the “Business Plot” of the 1930’s that sought to employ General Smedley Darlington Butler in a fascist coup.     Foster reiterated his belief that Las Vegas was totally dependent not simply on American greed, but on FDR’s New Deal:  "So when they were outed by Butler, FDR seized the opportunity to hold the New Deal gun to their heads and garnish their support. Then came the WPA power projects like the Tennessee Valley Authority and Hoover Dam, which by the way, created Lake Mead and an abundance of electricity without which Steve Wynn's Bellagio's fountain would be shooting sand instead of water. Heck, there would probably have been no Ceasar's Palace either. In reality, Jay Sarno, the Jewish businessman who built Ceasar's Palace would have been more correct in calling it 'Spartacus' Palace' because it was built with money from the Teamsters Union. Do truck drivers look like Caesar to you? So Sarno, whose people were oppressed by the Romans must have laughed all the way to the bank, don't you know."

     Foster is still as critical of what he calls the "propagandizing peanut gallery".  "I'm not saying that Obama doesn't have socialist leanings or that he isn't a shill for the bigger fat cats that Butler called the 'National City Bank Boys', but Anthony Sutton,  Stew Webb and Gene 'Chip' Tatum have shown that U.S. bankers are the biggest socialists of all.  Why else didn't they all just agree to fall on their little liaise faire capitalistic swords and go bankrupt like they expect the small businesses in America to do instead of taking tax payers' sovereign dollars in a bailout that didn't do what they said it would while providing obscene executive payouts to a bevy of bozos while growing the national debt?" asked Foster.  "As Hank Paulson mumbled about economic collapse in America 92% of the local banks were solvent because they didn't play the games that the Wall Street Bankers, most of Wall Street bandits taking courage from the son of Columbia University Sociology Professor Robert Merton, the economist, Robert Merton Jr. who created 'credit default swaps'.  So Bill Clinton leads the assault in 1999 on the Glass-Steagal Act and opens the door to the GWB replication of the savings and loan scandal years of his father, GHWB, under the guise of 'de-regulation'," said Foster.  "As George Carlin said, 'it's all BS folks....and it's bad for you."



What did not happen and why Anthony Sutton's
assertion that bankers are socialists with open hands for
sovereign tax payers' dollars.

    Meanwhile, according to Foster, Wayne Allyn Root is the spokesperson for Houston, Texas based Wealth Masters International.  Wealth Masters International has become the talk of the town through The Ripoff Report.

Obama Vs. Putin: Fighters Take Their Corners

POST COLD WAR DIALECTIC RENEWED

by Wilson G. Lotastoff, CPW News Service

According to the Center for the Replication of Ongoing Conflicts' founder, Bernard D. "Flaming" Salvos,  the Obama vs. Putin battle over Syria is a tightly choreographed replication of the old Cold War dialectic:  Create the conflict.  The people scream.  Provide the solution.

"It's the Order's way of insuring that they will control both fighters and earn profits on the armaments, the inspections, the removal of Sarin, the rearmaments, the ticket sales and beer, Coca-Cola and popcorn concessions.  Then there's whatever natural resources are underground in Syria as well as General Wesley Clark's book that spells out how the U.S. Neo-Cons had planned the invasion of seven Middle Eastern countries in five years," said Salvos.  "They are behind schedule," said Salvos noting that Clark made his discovery of this revelation in 2001 just ten days after 911 as he talked with colleagues at the Pentagon.

Salvos believes that the current situation when seen in light of the failure of the U.S. to significantly engage the former Soviet nations in strategic partnership after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when coupled with the fact that Anthony Sutton and Zbigniew Brezenski have shown clearly that the Soviet's military technology was imported from the West.   Sutton spelled it out in his work for the Hoover Institute and in books written after his departure....blacklisting.... from the Hoover Institute.  Like  Smedley Darlington Butler his conclusion:  war is a racket.  Racket or not,  Putin is indeed beholding to Western exceptionalism.  This transfer of technology manufactured the dialectic known as the Cold War according to Salvos.  "You cannot have a National Football League if players from Chicago wear leather helmuts and the 49's wear state of the art equipment," said Salvos.  "The same is true of Super Powers.  If they don't exist someone has to create them and Sutton showed that our industrialists did.   The Ford plant at Gorki supplying trucks to Hitler's German and later to Ho Chi Minh and the balls bearings needed for intercontinental ballistic missiles were definitely a Western export."

"That's right.  The West excels in running a big fat war racket.  A very lucrative racket for a minority of the population, those who are the fight promoters.  These are the ones I call the 'MSG Boys," said Salvos.

"MSG," as in Monosodium Glutamate.....making them all nervous and wacky and leading us to invade Iraq when it had been neutered and when 15 of the 19 September 11th hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and not one from Iraq?" Salvos was asked.

"No.  'The Madison Square Garden Boys'.   The ones who promote the fights.  Publicize the event and sell the tickets.  We all have a ringside seat at a freak show.   What makes this fight even better is that now it's a white guy against a black guy.  Putin vs. Obama...well....a half black and half white guy.  The only thing better would be if they had been brothers of the same mother, but with different fathers or vice versa."

"What about Assad?" Salvos was asked.

"Well, any good fight promoter will tell you.....and this is where Ultimate Fighting Championships and boxing haven't caught up with the World Wrestling Federation, yet.....when people start to lose interest and become complacent about jumping into the fighting spirit you throw them a tag team event," said Salvos.  "After the longest war in U.S. history in Iraq and Afghanistan, you've gotta do something to snap people out of their growing pacificism," said Salvos.

Texas Target for Takeover: Lessons From Detroit

The Bathification Of Texas Workers

With the bankruptcy of Detroit, Texas politicians and lawmakers argue that it’s time for the privatization of the state’s employee pension fund.

By Walker Prescott Lowe for CPW News Service

 

    

     As Michigan Judge Steven Rhodes deals with the question of whether or not Detroit’s retiree’s have the right to choose their own legal representation in their bankruptcy proceedings, Texas politician and lawyers are using the specter of a similar default in the Lone Star State to move cities toward privatization of the mega-wealthy Texas Employees’ Pension Fund.
   

     The Official Committee of Retirees, the group that represents the Michigan employees has argued that the Michigan law, an emergency management law used by Governor Rick Snyder to authorize the July 18 bankruptcy filing, was unconstitutional because it stripped the retirees of their right to choose their representatives.

     “We are seeing a shift in Texas from the time-honored funding and management of the Texas Employees’ Pension Fund as a state-wide and state-run pension fund into the private sector which was the push made, as we all well remember, as part of the de-regulation thrust to reduce the size of government during the Reagan and Bush Administrations.  Even Bill Clinton favored some aspects of this move.  The problem is, of course, that the pension fund isn't the government's really, but the workers'.   They earned it.   If those funds had not been properly managed in the lead up to Paulson’s 2008 bail out of Wall Street, the results could have been catastrophic for Texas employees.  With many pension funds being directed into the credit default sludge-bucket the pensioners would have been smacked really hard,” said Molly Urban a retired school teacher from the Stephenville, Texas area.

     “Texas was ground zero for the Savings and Loan scandal of the 1980’s and of the Enron nightmare in 2000 and 2001.  You cannot eliminate Texas from the 2008 bail out when you consider that Hank Paulson was former Texas Governor and President George Walker Bush’s appointee. In 1992  a book by Peter Brewton, The Mafia, CIA and George Bush, showed that GWB’s father had deep connections to the Saving and Loan scandal which fueled, according to the CIA's Stew Webb, even the Iran-Contra debacle,” said Kurt Corson Sibley of Bridge City, Texas.   Sibley further noted the testimony of former CIA agent, Gene "Chip" Tatum, who provided a clear picture of just how the building boom of the 80's and the accompanying "Savings and Loan Scandal" of which Neil Bush's Silverado Savings in Denver, was a part.

      “George Walker Bush led the effort to privatize the University of Texas Endowment Fund which created UTIMCO and which then went on to help subsidize government gone wild.   When I tell people that they look at me like I’m crazy, but when you see that the funds are invested in one after another company that profits from America’s wars then it becomes quite clear,” said  Sibley.  “Texas oil runs Wall Street.  No oil and no moving electronic ticker tape.  Texas oil is the tail that wags the Wall Street dog,” Sibley argues.  "American industrial technology is exceptional, no matter what Vladimir Putin poots and pees in his illogical diatribes.  In fact, Anthony Sutton has argued vehemently that the U.S. exported its technology to the Bolsheviks and then the U.S.S.R. to give its legs when it was creeping out of the Stone Age.  This is a claim that respected U.S. National Security Advisor, member of the Council on Foreign Relations and, more importantly... the father of Mika Brezenski,  Zbigniew Brezenski has confirmed.  What is not exceptional in either nation is an elevated sense of statesmanship and humanity.  Basically it's all gang warfare and fight promoting on a  grand scale," said Sibley.

     “GWB put every one of his good buddy cronies on the UTIMCO Board and I promise that there isn’t a single player in that group that would ever want to come close to passing for a plaintiff’s lawyer or union organizer….which the state employees really are….a union of state workers,” said Sibley.  Sibley believes that privatized sovereign dollars, as in college endowments and employee pension funds, are Bain capital's dream if they can get their grubby hands on it.  The money would, like with UTIMCO, be used to give the appearance of legitimacy of hedge fund companies that in turn fund other companies which rush to the war-time contracting tax-dollar money spigot at Washington.  "And the road goes on forever," said Sibley noting the eight ways that Bain used other peoples' money to gut companies.  "The firemen and police put out fires.  These other guys come along and start them world-wide traveling on the firemens' and policemens' and teachers' dime and if anyone gets in their way at home they start fires here, too.   It's the old Catch-22 of the Military Industrialist Complex."

      Like Sibley, John Whittington Brown, of Mexia, Texas, a retired school teacher whose son is a retired fireman, said, “the profiteers line up at the sovereign dollar feeding trough like so many over stuffed pigs.  This is exactly what happened when Texas attorney turned health care mogul, Richard Scott, became the recipient of the largest Medicare fraud fine in U.S. history with his oversight of Columbia/HCA Hospitals Systems when it was fined $1.7 billion before he was retired by the Columbia/HCA board with a $400 million pension so that he could go to Florida, run for Governor, and fill the office previously held by Jeb Bush,” said Sibley who noted that the Florida is "either the most uninformed assembly of flabby grey hairs or sun seeking mobsters and good fellas on the planet." 

     Sibley noted that the brother of GWB's press secretary, Scott McClelland whose grandfather was for years President  of the Texas State Bar and who would eventually turn on Bush, was the head of the U.S. Medicare/Medicaid office in Washington during Rick Scott's oversight of Columbia/HCA.  Sibley noted that Scott had united Columbia with the Tennessee-based HCA which was owned by Senator William Frist, a close friend of GWB, with help from Richard Rainwater.  Rainwater another Bush friend and former partner with Bush in the Texas Ranger baseball franchise, a team that Jose Conseco said was "as rife with performance enhancing drugs as Lance Armstrong's fanny", the team would be bought by UTIMCO Chairman, Dallas billionaire, Thomas O. Hicks.  "When General David Petraeus was accidently shot at Fort Campbell, Kentucky it was Frist who plugged the holes," said Sibley noting Petraeus fainting spell when he appeared before Congress to report on the state of the Iraq War.

     According to R.O. Ewers of Texarkana, Texas the commandeering of the Texas Employees’ Pension Fund is being led by two Houston attorneys with deep connections to the Bush power base in Texas.  Patrick C. Oxford and Bill King.   Both are lawyers associated with the law firm of Bracewell and Giuliani, formerly Bracewell and Patterson.    Patrick C. Oxford, Bracewell and Giuliani’s managing partner oversees a firm once home of Robert L. Clarke, Ronald Reagan's Comptroller of the U.S. Currency.   Oxford is also front and center at the Greater Houston Partnership.

     Bill King, also with Bracewell and Giuliani, is the agent for James R. Bath, the Texas National Guard roommate of GWB and owner of Southwest Airport Service  Inc. and appears in the company's Texas incorporation records.   Bath figured significantly into Michael Moore’s film, Fahrenheit 911, though, according to Ewers, “that film didn’t go far enough in showing that Bath was the close associate of the Saudi Royal banker, Khalid Bin Mahfouz, who together bought the Houston Gulf Manor Airport for the Bin Laden family...the Saudi Royal's leading engineering dynasty.   Fifteen of the nineteen 911 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and we invaded Iraq,” said Sibley, noting the proximity of the popular airport among NASA astronauts to the petroleum refineries nearby and the unusual pass that the Bin Laden family received in exiting the country after 911.    “That airport was razed after 911 and turned into residential home sites,” he said.



from the U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce web site.

 

     Ewers noted that before joining Bracewell and Patterson, Giuliani had, as Mayor of New York City and previously that city's leading crime fighter, worked closely with GWB’s first choice for Director of Homeland Security, Bernie Kerik.     Kerik had also been the head of security for the Iraqi Provisional Government under L. Paul Bremer while fellow Texan, Stuart Bowen, had been in charge of Iraqi Reconstruction Program which has also faced charges of corruption.  “Kerik went to prison on corruption charges,” said Ewers.  "More importantly," said Ewers, "Kerik was replaced by Col. Theodore 'Ted' Westhusing, the University of Texas educated West Point ethics teacher who was charged with training an indigenous Iraqi security force before his questionable suicide four hours after his confrontation with General David Petraeus in the Green Zone over U.S. contractor corruption."

     “I hope to God that the fire fighters and policemen in Texas are aware that Bill King is closely related to their retirement programs and pushing for the privatization of those funds," said Ewers who noted that when the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office under Washington D.C.'s former Medical Examiner,  Dr. Joyce Carter,  had to be investigated for mismanagement,  it was scrutinized by the nation's Iran-Contra investigator, Michael Bromwich.   Bromwich,  whose indictments in Iran-Contra stopped short President Reagan and Vice-President Bush did include Oliver North, John Poindexter, Elliot Abrams and Casper Weinberger .   "I also hope that as with some northern cities like some Burroughs of New York  where the criminal elements control the police through groups like their 100 Club that pay widows a supplement when their husbands are killed on the job, that we don’t have the same problem in Texas.   It would be awful if a mass exodus of Texas' leading lawmen like New York's Serpico have to hide out in the Swiss Alps.   I thought about asking Rick Hartley, the head of the Houston 100 Club about this, but then I thought, hell he may be from the same family that passed the Taft-Hartley Bill targeting the Unions in America and I might end up floating face down in a Louisiana swamp or in Mexico on Falcon Lake.  This is stacking up to be classless class warfare and in many ways the players haven't changed much from the time of the Civil War when the real issue was not slavery, but the transfer of wealth....anybody's and everybody's.   I'm thinking of how Granville Dodge, the kingpin in the Credit Mobilier scandal hightailed it to Texas when he faced imprisonment for his part in the Union Pacific's land scandal and E.H. Harriman's Union Pacific would employ Prescott Bush, a founding partner at Brown Brother's Harriman, and GWB's grandfather.  Not much changes when you consider that 40 Union Generals who fought alongside Dodge and William Tecumseh Sherman...Sherman who along with George C. Bragg.... handed the San Francisco leg of the Union Pacific's Transcontinental railroad to Leland Stanford in the 1850's.  That was just before Sherman and Dodge rode to Vicksburg and Atlanta to destroy the eastern terminus, Savannah, Georgia and the Mississippi crossing at Vicksburg for the Southern Transcontinental Railroad laid out in the 1850's by Jefferson Davis.  Those 40 Generals are buried in the same Cincinnati  cemetery alongside the Skull and Bones founder, Alphonzo Taft.  Of course, if you take away peoples' hard earned livelihood they might as well be slaves and things are stacking up for an interesting showdown,”  said Ewers.  "These firemen, police officers and teachers may have defended the plunderers and swallowed their Pavlovian training regimens, but it's altogether different when their self-proclaimed masters turn on them, too," said Ewers who noted that "Michele Obama worked for the Springfield, Illinois Republican law firm of Sidley Austin which defended Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln whose husband was a lawyer for the  Illinois Central Railroad and, therefore, a Union Pacific ally and water carrier."

Dodge felt that Texas offered an excellent hiding place and giving what is now transpiring in Texas as an assault on employees' future, it seems not much has changed.

Satellite Photos of Syria's Sarin Attack?

PRESIDENT OBAMA LAYS OUT SYRIAN GUILT WITH INTELLIGENCE PHOTOS?

     With a poignant message of serious intent to right the Syrian dictator’s wrong, President Obama laid out the horrors of chemical weapons beginning during World War I and outlawed for good reason by the Geneva Convention.  Chemical weapons are indiscriminate in their killing and are therefore a war crime.

    


     According to one Miami, Florida resident....."To bolster his case and bring the American people to a unwavering conclusion about the Syrian regime’s use of Sarin, President Obama did what John F. Kennedy did during the Cuban Missile Crisis."

     “I’m proud of President Obama for lifting his skirt and showing us the smoking gun of Assad’s guilt and viciousness.  The Sarin gas attack on Syrian civilians was chronicled by satellite photos that showed the launch, impact, and the neighborhood targets like a photo of a muzzle blast from a canon at night,” said Fletcher Flouerd of Miami, Florida.

     Fletcher provided photos which he snapped on his new I-Phone of what he said were the photos which President Obama provided for convincing the American people, presumable from the television as he watched the President's speech as it was being televised.

     “Fletcher is trippin’,’ said Mildred Flouerd, Fletcher’s wife.   “He kind of sundowns about this time of day.  Those pictured he snapped are from a photo album that he kept from his years at the CIA as an analyst in the 1960’s ,” she admitted.
