2016 Presidential Election: 2000 and 2004 Revisted?

Trumping History Or Repeating It?

By Otto D. Bleu for CPW News Service

      With the arrival of billionaire casino builder, bankruptcy advocate, reality TV personality and  urban gentrifier, Donald Trump, in the 2016 political fray, people are making the comparison to the 1992 arrival of third party candidate H. Ross Perot.

     “Ah, Trump is no Perot.   Perot was USN.  Successfully extracted his company’s employees held hostages by Iran, had his pulse on the U.S. business sell-out and the giant sucking sound of American jobs going overseas.  Today, Perot is a shadow of his former self sitting in his former company's lunch room near a wall that bullets his visionary accomplishments while run by a group of MBA's from India.  You don’t think Trump would sell out Americans if goods could be made by Third World slave labor?  Go think again,” said Barney Balboa of Flint, Michigan.

     “If the Republicans close ranks and back JEB Bush there is no guarantee that there won’t be a revisit of Bush family bamboozling in Texas, Florida and world-wide as the irresponsible steam rollers that rumbled into Washington on the back of Bill Clinton’s 1999 reversal of the Glass-Stegall Act, the arrival of Bin Laden backed attack on the WTC in New York…..from within their circle of their beloved Saudi oligarchs, the invasion of Iraq and a war that mophed from a $60 billion war to a $4-plus trillion dollar war, and the 2008 financial meltdown that pumped oil prices up to nearly $150 a barrel for families heavily invested in both the S&L housing bubble of the 1980’s and the credit default bamboozle that led to the 2008 meltdown, not to mention oil.  I smell a stinky, putrid  Machiavellian, Reich-ish-Darwinian skunk in the kitchen,” said Balboa.

     Balboa pointed out that few Americans know or understand the depth of the flim-flam involved in the daily leadership of their nation.  He cited a recent reference to the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections and the behind the scenes issues that got us to where we are.  “I believe that 1992 was our last chance to change course.  In 2000 and 2004 the nation really slid down the slippery slope of no return,” said Balboa as he read a recent review of the 2004 election during which CBS newsman, Dan Rather and his producer Mary Mapes lost their jobs for covering the GWB Texas National Guard memos from Houston's Ellington Field and the secretary of GWB's commanding officer.  Balboa reproduced an Amazon.com online review of Rather’s book Rather Outspoken: My Life In News:

     The Marian Carr Knox memos were, according to former Texas Lieutenant Governor, Ben Barnes, available in 2000, but Gore didn't need them. I would like to see Rather do a follow up on just why his 2004 story remained in the wings in 2000. Also, why the pastor's son, Patrick Carr, same name as Marian Carr Knox's son who when Marian refused to retell the story affirmed her story to the media and why the other , the pastor's son was found burned to death in his Ford Bronco outside the CIA-linked Ellington Field not far from the Bin Laden owned Houston Gulf Manor Airport that was razed after 911. That Patrick Carr's last phone call was from a "friend" whose family owned property adjacent to the Cibolo, Texas ultralight airport where experienced jet pilot, Salem bin Laden, mysteriously flew into a high power line in 1988. The Houston Gulf Manor airport was bought by Khalid bin Mahfouz and Bush buddy, James R Bath, whose attorney and air fuel partner at Ellington, William E. King, was the fishing buddy of the pastor's son's uncle. The dead 23 year old had just moved to Houston from Austin where he had worked for the business partner of Rebecca Rather. Dan Rather gave Rebecca a great plug for her book and she is obviously well connected to the Rather's of Texas' Nassau/Waldec Plantation and to Houston restaurateur, Tony Vallone. There is a lot more here for Dan and Mary Mapes to tell us, but this book is a start! Be even more outspoken before November 2016, please!

And while you are at it can you comment on this recent statement.....

Strangely, Dan Rather's ranching partner in the New Mexico's Tecolote or "Owl Ranch" about forty miles from Santa Fe, was also a partner in that venture with the owner of Maryland's Misery Plantation where Fred Bailey....also known as Frederick Douglass.....the abolitionist orator who according to the 1999 book by Thomas Layton, Voyage of the Frolic: New England Merchants and the Opium Trade (Stanford University Press) was employed in the Baltimore opium clipper building business and where he was "renditioned" before being returned to slavery in the South. The owner of both the Tecolote Ranch and Misery Plantation is former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. The Rather family's Nassau/Waldec Plantation in Texas is a German settlement where the Buffalo Soldiers initially worked after the Civil War. The Buffalo Soldiers' handlers in Texas, the Smith brothers, and their relationship to William Tecumseh Sherman are covered in the 2014 book, Sulfur Lead and Poppies, which clearly delineates the connections between Giles Alexander Smith's Buffalo Soldiers and his brother, Morgan Lewis Smith, who directed the Texas work of the Buffalo Soldiers through the Truehart-Adriance Building in Galveston, Texas. "Arriving in Texas for different reasons was Giles Alexander Smith. Giles' name appeared on the record pardoning of Richard King, founder of the King Ranch." It goes on to say of Giles' brother with both men fighting for the Union at Fort Donnelson in the Civil War in a type of family dialectic......"Morgan Lewis Smith found himself appointed Counsel to Hawaii in a direct line between San Francisco and the lucrative China Trade route to the silk, spices and opium of the Middle East and emerging 'Golden Triangle.'" The book also goes on to note the Tourtelotte letter of General William Tecumseh Sherman now domiciled at the University of Iowa that seems to indicate "a type of blackmail (of Sherman) by the daughters of Lewis Morgan Smith" (pp. 76-80).
