EYE DECLARE! DOES BEN CARSON KNOW ABOUT THIS?

MY DOCTOR IS FROM JOHNS HOPKINS SHOULD EYE BE WORRIED?

By W. “Bud” Firth Dewnoharm CPW News Service

     John Riggs was visiting his doctor in a city that will remain nameless.   He was reading a copy of  New Yorker magazine and ran across an article by Dexter Filkins titled “How Did Abu Zubaydah Lose His Eye?”

     “I didn’t know who Abu Zubahdah was,” said Riggs.  “I quickly found out that he a was Guantanamo detainee like the three who died on the same day in 2006 and became the subject of Scott Horton’s Harper’s Magazine article, “The Guantanamo ‘Suicides’: A Camp Delta Sargeant Blows the Whistle,”  in which Horton documents that the three hanging victims had their throats removed from the autopsy evidence presumably to cover over the oddities of their unusually broken wind pipes.

     “So I was sitting in the waiting room of my physician reading the article and Googling Horton's grizzly story.  My doctor is a Johms Hopkins graduate and a fine surgeon, but when I read the New Yorker story I was so nervous that I cancelled my visit and went home.  I also took the New Yorker with me and read the article to my beloved wife whose father had his eye poked out by an angry neighbor who threatened her and her brother when they were kids by turning his pit bull dogs on them for crossing his yard.   She now calls my surgeon 'Dr. Mengele'….to his face!   She also sent him a copy of the story that he apparently didn’t know was in his outer office," said Riggs.  Here is what it says:

*After several waterboarding sessions, Abu Zubaydah was so broken that, when a C.I.A. agent snapped his fingers twice, he would lie down on the waterboard, naked and dirty, to await his torture. As the Senate report makes clear, the C.I.A. interrogators knew that what they were doing was possibly illegal. In fact, they were so worried about being found out that they told their superiors that if Abu Zubaydah were to die during his interrogation, he would have to be cremated. In the event that he lived, they asked, in a cable, for “reasonable assurances that [Abu Zubaydah] will remain in isolation and incommunicado for the remainder of his life.” They did, indeed, receive such assurance. (For a succinct, if gruelling, description of Abu Zubaydah’s interrogation, read pages 32 through 57 in the Senate report. It’s drawn from the C.I.A.’s own records. ) While the torture of Abu Zubaydah produced a number of intelligence reports, there’s no evidence that these brutal means were necessary to obtain them. After all that, Abu Zubaydah provided no actionable intelligence on future plots.

Still, I want to talk less about Abu Zubaydah’s interrogation than about his missing eye. When a team of American and Pakistani agents moved in to capture Abu Zubaydah, in Faisalabad, Pakistan, in 2002, he fled across a rooftop, where he was shot and wounded in the groin. A photo of Abu Zubaydah, apparently taken moments after his capture, and which his lawyers say is accurate, does not show any obvious problem in either of his eyes. His lawyers say that he had no eye condition.   Ali Soufan, a former F.B.I. agent who helped capture Abu Zubaydah, told me that when Abu Zubaydah was apprehended he appeared to have some sort of eye condition, perhaps an infection. “His eye was pretty bad,’’ Soufan said. John Kiriakou, a former C.I.A. officer who participated in the capture, has also said that there appeared to be something wrong with one of his eyes.

In any case, the C.I.A. was so concerned that Abu Zubaydah was going to die from his gunshot wound that they flew in a doctor from Johns Hopkins University to treat him. He appears to have received excellent medical care, if only so that he could live in order to surrender information. “He got the best medical treatment anyone could have,’’ Soufan said.

In 2006, four years after he was captured, Abu Zubaydah was transferred out of C.I.A. custody to the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. A photo from that time, made available by WikiLeaks, shows Abu Zubaydah with a pirate-style patch over his left eye. His lawyers say that, by then, his eye was gone. That is, sometime between when he entered exclusive C.I.A. custody, in 2002, and when he left it, in 2006, he lost his left eye. In that four-year period, Abu Zubaydah was held in several C.I.A. secret prisons, also known as “black sites,” including those in Thailand, Lithuania, and Poland.

What happened to Abu Zubaydah’s eye? We can confidently guess that the still-classified version of the Senate’s report delved deeply into this question. This is also likely true of a review of the documents turned over to the Senate by the then C.I.A. director, Leon Panetta, which remains secret as well. Dozens of videotapes that the C.I.A. made of Abu Zubaydah’s interrogation were destroyed. To top that off, Abu Zubaydah’s lawyers are prohibited from revealing any contents of any conversations they have had with their client, on the grounds that any disclosures could threaten national security. Do you get the feeling that the “classified” designation is being used to protect people who may have broken the law?

“There is absolutely no question that on the night he was captured he had two completely functional eyes,’’ Brent Mickum, one of Abu Zubaydah’s attorneys, told me. “And at some point thereafter, we don’t know exactly when—he has some idea when, but I can’t say, because nothing that he tells me I can reveal to you, which is ridiculous. This is the game I have to play. He doesn’t know how he lost his eye. He’d like to know.”

    Riggs said "I told my wife that no matter what she thought about Donald Rumsfeld or Dick Cheney, GWB would not have authorized such a cold-hearted, barbaric, Dark Ages tactic against anyone, anywhere.  Period.   That could only be described as something utterly demonic.  What did she do?  She played me a video of former GWB chief economic advisor, Professor Emeritus of Texas A&M University which houses the GHWB Presidential Library in College Station, Dr. Morgan Reynolds.  Then I went and threw up!" said Riggs.

    "Then in the days following I began to wonder about just what the U.S. had at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and just how and why during the Cuban Revolution the entire nation went over to Castro and his five hundred man army when Batista had a thirty-thousand man army?  Was keeping Batista's corrupt government in power to protect Meyer Lanksy and the other mobsters' Cuban night clubs in place as lucrative to the U.S. military machine as the threat of global thermo-nuclear war? Hardly! Why, if according to Anthony Sutton, the author The Best Enemy Money Can Buy and other books had the U.S. funded the Soviet Union's economy from 1917 to the 1930's with a massive transfer of technology that Zbigniew Brzezinski has confirmed and how conveniently the Cuban/Soviet threat provided a vice-like grip on the American people in building consent for the Cold War spending that was almost as big a bamboozle as what is going on in the Middle East," said Riggs.  "I read the story Hiding Murder and threw up again," said Riggs.

General Albert Stubblebine's 911 Analysis

No Staring At Goats Needed For Highest Ranking U.S. Military Officer to Question Official 911 Terrorist Attack on World Trade Center

By Rolland Spinout, CPW News Service

     As the U.S. Army’s intelligence officer who oversaw the murky arena of psychological warfare programs with a military career spanning over thirty years, General Albert Stubblebine, III was a troubled man.      He was troubled over much of his army career with his soldiers’ human limitations.   He longed to tap a soldier’s hidden deeper potential.  He developed programs like that of Dr. Loretta Bender’s Mk-Ultra experiments at New York’s Bellevue Hospital with a mind-control element that mimicked what the old Soviet Union was doing in the field of psyops including the remote viewing program he created at California’s Fort Bragg.   That program sought a super-soldier , warrior-monks, who could walk through walls.  Stubblebine was drawn to the interest  in Israeli psychic Uri Geller whose alleged paranormal powers were to be studied and exploited by the Stanford Research Institute on the taxpayers' coins.

down of the U.S. population and a Bernays-style
erection of a Brahman-type caste system in America.

     General Albert Stubblebine, played by Stephen Lang in the 2009 movie The Men Who Stare At Goats as General Dean Hopgood, Stubblebine was not "hopping good" after the 911 disaster.  A self-proclaimed love-it-or-leave-it patriot, General Stubblebine’s wife challenged the General’s thinking on the official government report of what happened on September 11, 2001 in New York.  The 2009 movie with George Clooney and Beau Bridges based on the 2004 book about Stubblebine's fascinating career did not enhance his reputation for assessing the 911 catastrophe.  "It would have been like Dr. Strangelove assessing Alice In Wonderland," said one Stubblebine critic.   The General's poignant criticism of the official report came as a focusing prod from Stubblebine's wife, but their powerful story did not make it into an episode of the celebrated TV series Army Wives.

     “Stubblebine makes no claim to be using a Ouija board to arrive at his conclusions concerning 911,” said Dr. Thelma Wiggins of The Center for the Analysis of Potentially Tainted Testimony  or CAPTT in San Francisco, California.   “Stubbelbine is, amazingly for someone who spent a lifetime working in the oxymoronic realm of military intelligence,  sharing his most lucid, circumspect and scientific analysis of the official 911 storyline," said Wiggins noting the General's substantial connections remaining with the U.S. military establishment on varied levels.



General Albert Stubblebine, III

 

      Wiggins noted that Stubblebine’s concerns about 911 have been more succinctly asserted by Dr. David Griffin whose work on the 911 disaster has been tauted as reliable by MIT Professor, Noah Chomsky, and Editor of Lapham’s Quarterly and former editor of Harper’s Magazine,  Lewis Lapham and William Sloane Coffin.

      “Stubblebine’s testimony concerning 911 is amazingly consistent in its skepticism of the Official 911 Report and there appears no charlatan elements in his forthright testimony.  No Uri Geller bamboozling,” said Wiggins.
 
     General Stubblebine's current wife, Dr. Rima E. Laibow,  has claimed to have been "Adam Lanza's doctor," the shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary School, leading independent investigative blogger, Barbara Hartwell to write:

......this woman "never met Adam Lanza", by her own admission! No, but she wants people to believe that she has all the knowledge, all the psychiatric expertise, all the answers, all the "natural solutions" which will cure the ills of "forced drugging".

But what about FORCED behavior modification, otherwise known as mind control? That is precisely what she and her husband, Albert Stubblebine, have been perpetrating for decades, against not only military and intelligence personnel, but also anyone in the general populace they can get their grimy hands on, for their bizarre experimentation and voodoo "science".  Albert Stubblebine has been involved with some of the most demonic characters imaginable, including satanist Michael Aquino (Temple of Set). Some of his "research" has been memorialized in a book by Jon Ronson, "Men Who Stare at Goats". Yes, Stubblebine is also a demonic abuser of animals, who attempted to "stop the hearts" of goats in his grisly "psychic warfare" operations.

    Stubblebine and Aquino, if they were working together as seems likely, did not apparently attempt to stop the enemies' hearts just long enough to collect their weapons, leading dialectic apologist/critic Horace T. Mimms to argue that the military was not attempting in any way to promote a "kinder gentler nation".  "That idea was developed in a Madison Avenue boiler room under the offices of someone like Edward Bernays or Albert Lasker whose persuasive abilities when coupled with the sale of an addictive product like cigarettes.....and blowing crap up is quite addictive.....is hard to resist.....so "kinder and gentler" was like a pretty pink paint-job on a high powered wood chipper," said Mimms.

     Mimms reminds us that President George W. Bush was reading The Pet Goat, when his heart appeared to stop mid-sentence on September 11, 2001 leading Bush's chief economic advisor, Professor Emeritus, Dr. Morgan Reynolds, to leave the Bush administration and to voice his concerns about just how the nation's military wood chipper may have gotten truly out of hand...."like a cavitation-gyrating, out-of-control missile on the deck of the wacky ship-of-sad-state."  It was widely rumored that GWB's gaze did not work effectively on goats, but had some success in semi-arresting Dick Cheny's left ventricle.

    General Bert Stubblebine and Dr. Rima Laibow, now living in the Andes mountains near Santiago, Chile are, according to the producers of the TV series Army Wives," sure to be featured in an episode of Army Wives should the series be revived and will be titled "The Men and Women Who Stare at Goats When They Aren't Pretending to be Adam Lanza's Doctor:  Hoo-juah!"

SHANE WHITE, NEW YORK SOCIETY LIBRARY and "DUKE OF DARKNESS," JEREMIAH HAMILTON

Benjamin Day's Brother-In-Law Key To Understanding American History...The Name Shane White Can't Remember at His New York Society Library Presentation of book,  Prince of Darkness

by Rhonda D. "Lexi" Conn, CPW News Service

     On October 19, 2015 Australian historian and author of Prince of Darkness: The Untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Shane White, presented a succinct and enlightening summary of his book on the life of little known Wall Street broker, Jeremiah G. Hamilton, friend of Benjamin Day, Frederick Douglass and a host of New York power elites.

     Shane White was clear that Hamilton, the richest black man in America, had battled with Cornelius Vanderbilt over the Nicaraguan transit company, Accessory Transit Company, though according to event attendee, Lowell P. Wigglesworth, "Shane White said nothing about William Walker's interest in Nicaragua after he had flubbed the annexation of Baja, California and moved on to the annexation of Nicaragua with the support of President Franklin Pierce," said Wigglesworth.  The death of Walker in Honduras cleared away Vanderbilt's competition which according to Wigglesworth "Vanderbilt associates Morgan and White were put in charge of while Vanderbilt sailed the world on his yacht North Star."   Walker's battle with Vanderbilt would have put Jeremiah G. Hamilton on the side of the Franklin Pierce supporter of unrepentant slaver and German educated mercenary William Walker, but with a decidedly stronger connection to the blacks of the South as a black man and to the slave and free population of the Caribbean.  Vanderbilt, himself a slaver, did not have the equivalent of Hamilton in his quiver of personal allies and though from Staten Island, while being philosophically a died in the wool Southerner, was not apt to cross over the color barrier as the New York and New England power elites did to gain the advantage for their true motives for the upcoming Civil War. It was said that Vanderbilt did not fear Hamilton, but fearing no man, respected him.  Yes, and those who were behind Hamilton." 
     Given Hamilton's  and William Walker's connections the Vanderbilt battle with Hamilton and Walker over the California coast and Central American trade routes from the Pacific to Atlantic shows us a  battle within the New England merchantile elite China Traders for greater wealth and power.

     Wigglesworth has written extensively about the place that Franklin Pierce, Caleb Cushing and the Confederacy's President, Jefferson Davis, played in the rush of the New England and New York "China Traders" to the Pacific Ocean and the Middle Eastern opium trade beyond.  "Jeremiah Hamilton was a friend of Frederick Washington Bailey....well documented in the 1999 book by Stanford University archeologist, Thomas Layton, Voyage of the Frolic: New England Merchants and the Opium Trade (Stanford University Press)...who changed his name to Frederick Douglass the anti-slave orator who had worked at Baltimore's Gardner Shipyard laying the hulls of the China trader's fastest opium clippers of which Frolic had been one before it wrecked in 1850 north of San Francisco," said Wigglesworth.
     "Oddly, Shane White had a brain fart (at 31:00 of the CSPAN video) when it came to remembering the brother-in-law of Jeremiah Hamilton's best friend, Benjamin Day.  Day, the publisher of the New York Sun, was brother-in-law of Moses Yale Beach, the name White could not remember.   I wanted to stand and shout to Mr. White from the back of the room, but then I thought, 'why embarrass him or blow his cover if he's feeling like he's made enough of a disclosure already and smoothly recovered?", said Wigglesworth.
     Wigglesworth penned on a napkin a flow chart of the connections of Hamilton and Day that he said were "essential to fully understanding what Shane White is trying to say about Hamilton, Day, Beach and even James Gordon Bennett, the New York yacht club Commodore and friend of the intermarried Whitneys and Vanderbilts."  He also referred to an article on the relationship of John Hay "Jock" Whitney to molding of Southern memories following the Civil War by his underwriting the film version of Smith College graduate, Margaret Mitchell's novel, Gone With the Wind, and about the relationship of Civil War historian, Shelby Foote, to Union Admiral Andrew Hull Foote in Shelby Foote and Walker Percy: No Longer Lost In The Cosmos.

     "I believe that William Walker was supported by Franklin Pierce in his attempt to control Baja and Nicaragua for the same reason that in the 1980's we still see the Pierce family.....Barbara Pierce Bush....eyeing under the umbrella of the Monroe Doctrine the control of Nicaragua and Honduras.   Jeremiah Hamilton's support as a former freedman from the Caribbean who was using many of the same Wall Street ploys that would find a renaissance of Tammany Hall tactics after the repeal in 1999 of the Glass-Steagall Act by the Clinton administration, thus opening the floodgates to the Bush bamboozlers of 2000-2008. That repeal earned Clinton 'another Bush boy' designation.  By 2008  the bailout of Wall Street showed us their real hand.  Jeremiah Hamilton was not really the 'Prince of Darkness.'   There were lighter skinned individuals for which that title should be reserved.  Hamilton was a Duke of Darkness," said Wigglesworth.  Wigglesworth believes that Bill Clinton's recent defense of Franklin Pierce relative to the U.S. Civil War, the first at his alma mater, Georgetown University in 2015 and the second at his first solo defense of Hillary as a Presidential candidate in January 2016, deflects attention from the real role that Franklin Pierce, Caleb Cushing and Jefferson Davis had relative to hiding the true motive for the U.S. Civil War....the control of the flatland rail route from Savannah, Georgia to San Diego, California.   "It was a drug deal gone really bad and William Walker is surely a direct descendant of the George Herbert Walker Bush clan," said Wigglesworth as he handed this author his napkin in front of the Chase Bank across East 79th Street that had hurriedly omitted the Vanderbilt connections to the China Trade and to Jeff Davis' closest associates in the Confederacy, Braxton and Thomas Bragg, Braxton being William Tecumseh Sherman's pre-Civil War business partner, with both Braggs attending Cornelius Vanderbilt's wedding to Confederate socialite, Frank Armstrong Crawford,  in Mobile, Alabama in 1869.

     Wigglesworth recommended reading the article by Flavius Ruckleshouseman, Dark Side of the Fall for a fuller understanding of the coffee stained napkin and drawing.   The place of Wigglesworth in exploring the connections between Caleb Cushing, Franklin Pierce and Jefferson Davis were further explored by another Winsip Custer article by author Ishmael Sol Servaivor and Custer's own article has also covered extensively the North/South pursuit of the transcontinental rail route to the Pacific's opium connection in Cain Cushing and Abel Brown.

Mark McKinnon Media Mastermind on the Republican's Marriage Stance

In an article titled Mark McKinnon: The freedom to marry is consistent with GOP values by Blake Jelley Southern Political Mentor Mark McKinnon Urges Modernity

     In an op-ed published this week by the San Antonio Express-News, Mark McKinnon, former adviser to President George W. Bush and Texas chair of Southerners for the Freedom to Marry, makes the Republican case for marriage.

     The op-ed is in response to a court brief filed in the Texas marriage case by state Republicans who claim that marriage for same-sex couples could lead to things like incest, pedophilia and polygamy. McKinnon dismisses the fear-mongering court brief, saying that the argument “doesn’t pass the laugh test” and making clear what the Texas marriage case is really about.

“The Texas marriage case is all about: freedom and family. It's about whether loving, committed gay couples can marry like my wife and I did and raise stable, loving families…Gay folks are our friends, family members, and co-workers. Most of us want to treat them with the same dignity and respect as anyone else. Discriminating against them does not fit with core Texas values. Nor does it help the tens of thousands of kids being raised by same-sex parents.”

McKinnon goes on to urge the Republican Party to modernize in order to stay relevant, making the case that marriage for same-sex couples is consistent with conservative values of individual liberty, freedom, and family.

“Majorities of evangelicals and conservatives younger than 45 support the freedom to marry. They do so because it's consistent with their conservative values of individual liberty and stronger families. Whatever one's views on same-sex marriage, the reality is the politics have changed dramatically. Railing against gay people's dignity and freedom to marry hurts the GOP brand. The U.S. Supreme Court will be the final arbiter on same-sex marriage nationwide, perhaps by next summer. I can only hope the consistent conservative principles of freedom and family win out.”

Southerners for the Freedom to Marry – a partnership of Freedom to Marry and statewide/regional equality organizations – is a one million dollar public education campaign to grow support for marriage in the American South.

 

One responder to Mr. McKinnon’s message replied:

“Majorities of evangelicals and conservatives younger than 45 support the freedom to marry. They do so because it's consistent with their conservative values of individual liberty and stronger families."

 

     Thank you Mr. McKinnon!  Thanks, too, for wearing Pat Tillman's number "40" on your arm!  A constant reminder, like the death of Col. Theodore “Ted” Westhusing, that life isn't fair and that our institutions like our government and marriage policies aren't either.

      As a Protestant minister I favor legalizing marriage between two people of whatever gender.   My theology saved me on this score.  There are only two sacraments in the Reformed Tradition and marriage isn't one of them.  The scriptures are said to be clear, but so can slavery be argued from the same source.  I say "minimalize"!  "In Christ there is neither East nor West, slave nor free, Jew nor Greek, male nor female."    The Golden Rule is universal and I have sent a poster of its universal nature to members of the Saudi Royal family and to Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld….to Colin Powell and to Richard Perle, to the Iranian Mullahs and to Bibi Netanyahu, to Bill Clinton and Richard Armitage, to….well, to many others. But Jesus is never recorded as doing a marriage in scripture.  Heck, he didn't do baptisms either.....but we give him that one.  So I quit doing weddings.  My gay friends' requests had to be turned down or I'd risk a defrocking from an admittedly flawed church.... as CIA Director Allen Dulles could have verified or as C. Boyden Gray could do of the National Cathedral!   Why jeopardize my proper standing, well, “proper” within the limits of Saint Paul’s and Saint Augustine’s examples, on an issue that I  prefer NOT to be defrocked over, but the church, my church, was putting my....excuse my crudeness.....my theological nuts in a vice.  Nuts or ovaries I preferred NOT to have them flattened almost as much as I wish I hadn't gagged on that damn "yellow cake" that Colin served up with the enthusiasm of Stephen in D'jango Unchained!  Legalize gay/lesbian marriage....civil marriages.....then use the sacraments of communion and baptism to sanctify them as the bastions of civility that they all claim to be.   If pedophile priests can serve communion to all manor of people, then there is no reason not to open marriages to all men and women.   I can assure you that there is nothing that is that "sanctified" about any marriage that people should be run out of the fellowship for having tarnished.  There is no smegma laden copulative (or non-copulative) wrangling that the waters of baptism cannot and have not already washed clean.   Bathing in the waters of Christ's love and forgiveness is good and the bread and wine and grace of Communion is equally so, but Mr. McKinnon would you please tell your friends that we need to maintain clean water and not all in plastic bottles! As in Bolivia with the "Bechtel water wars" or with Enron and Ken Lay's and Jeffery Skilling's "hypothetical future value" and their attempting to sell rain futures which will require me to loose control of my roof and rain water all controlled by a capitalistic-fascist "upper crust" elite like Bechtel's bimbos. Remind them, please, that as any honest and truthful U.S. debutante can tell you.... the "upper crust"?..... It is mostly a bunch of crumbs held together by a big wad of dough.

Former Trump Casino Statisician Claims $1.6 Billion Power Ball Win "Impossible"

Florida, Tennessee and California Winners "Impossible" Statistical Phenomenon

by Delbert "The Greek" Carlucci,  CPW News Service

       Wednesday night's winning PowerBall numbers were 8, 27, 34, 4, 19 and PowerBall number 10.  University of Buffalo statistician, Jeffrey Miecznikowski says "five balls out of a drum of sixty-nine numbers must be multiplied by 26, the number of PowerBalls.  That means that the odds of winning are one in 292 million."

       Dr. Medicus R. Kloveriasts of the Society for the Study of Statistical Improbabilities in Racine, Wisconsin says that the probability that a three-way split of the $1.6 billion from Florida, Tennessee and California is much higher.  "Divide the U.S. by three regions with California #1, Tennessee #2 and Florida #3 or vice versa, a western, central and eastern payoff zone, then split the pot among the three instead of, say, one winner in California and two on the East Coast or in the #2 mid-states and one in New York and the equal 1-2-3 split  looks quite fishy....like an Edward Bernays or Albert Lasker planned Madison Avenue lottery campaign payoff for building consent for future lottery ticket sales," said Kloveriasts. 
     Kloveriasts who claims that he worked for Trump's Taj in Atlantic City before it changed hands said "I didn't buy a lotto ticket.   I knew I had as good a chance of winning as JEB Bush winning the Presidency after the long legacy of Bush bamboozling that the nation has suffered like a case of anthrax."

EDDIE GLAUDE, DIANE REHM AND UNRAVELING THE AMERICAN MYTH

EBONY & IVORY PLAYING TOGETHER, BUT WAY OFF KEY

Ishmael Sol Servaivor

By Ishmael Sol Servaivor, CPW News Service

     Princeton University is blessed with an articulate surveyor of the Black American experience.  Dr. Edward “Eddie” Glaude from Moss Point, Mississippi is a graduate of Temple University, Morehouse College and Princeton University where he is the William Tod Professor of Religion and African American Studies.  Dr. Glaude has published four books on Black American culture, three with the University of Chicago Press and one with Westminster/John Knox Press.  Appearing on the Diane Rehm Show on January 13, he challenged an array of predominantly Anglo-American callers to continue to question the prevailing American myth of power and privilege….that the stereotypes that characterize Blacks are as misguided as those defining some white Americans.

     “I tried to call in to challenge Dr. Glaude after I heard two comments.  One was about his own child being enrolled at Brown University and facing the threat of drawn weapons by police in Baltimore simply because he is black.  The other was his comment about Obama being a “snake oil salesman for Melville.”



     Dr. Lowell P.Wigglesworth though not incensed by the statement was clearly irritated.   “I called you Ishmael,” said Dr. Wigglesworth, “because I couldn’t get onto the show by phone.  Herman Melville was a prophet and challenger of the American myth, not a purveyor of it.   Think of Queequeg the enigmatic character from Melville's Moby Dick about whom Melville wrote: "And this tattooing had been the work of a departed prophet and seer of his island, who, by those hieroglyphic marks, had written out on his body a complete theory of the heavens and the earth, and a mystical treatise on the art of attaining truth; so that Queequeg in his own proper person was a riddle to unfold; but whose mysteries not even himself could read. And these mysteries were therefore destined in the end to moulder away with the living parchment whereon they were inscribed, and so be unsolved to the last." 
      Melville's exotic character, Queequeg,  read the mysteries onboard Ahab's ship well enough to have the ship's carpenter build him a coffin!  This minority islander with the strange customs was the first to assess Ahab's lunacy even though, like Colin Powell wielding the yellow cake harpoon, he chose to continue the pursuit that he knew in his gut was ill-advised! His single mindedness made Queequeg a hero to many in the story of Moby Dick.   Was Queequeg's chicken bleeding much different than Nancy Reagan's astrological anomalies and interests?   The brutal Ahab went down with the ship chasing the great white myth…..which I actually believe Melville knew damn well was the drool of the opium poppy that Melville could see from his catbird seat in New England.  The New England China trading Brahmins knew that there was one hell of a lot more intoxicating pursuits than that of whale oil, tooth ivory and dress hoops or than even the gold in the hills near San Francisco.   Beyond that, Dr. Glaude, heck everyone, needs to read the 1999 book by archelogist Thomas Layton, Voyage of the Frolic: New England Merchants and the Opium Trade (Stanford University Press).   In that book Layton documents that the Heard's opium cutter, Frolic,  that wrecked near Cabrillo Point near Fort Bragg north of San Francisco was built in Baltimore’s Gardiner Shipyard where Fred Bailey, a slave, had been laying the cutter hulls before he became the famous abolitionist orator Frederick Douglass.  I have meticulously laid out the case that the American Civil War was much more a drug run gone bad, a run to the Middle Eastern opium fields in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Iran, Iraq and Turkey than it was a battle over slavery.   You can't easily nor legitimately build broad consent for war over poppy-greed. The South owned the easiest rail route to the Pacific across the flat Great Southwest with proposed terminals laid out by Jefferson Davis in the 1850’s and coveted by New England merchant Brahmins Caleb and John Perkins Cushing and their close ally and friend President Franklin Pierce.  Historians have spun the big one that the fierce indigenous people of the Southwest made the Rockies look easier.  Poppy cock!  They were no match for the Sharps rifles or Iron Horse!  Ask the plains buffaloes and Geronimo whose name his tribe wishes Leon Panetta had not used for the killing of Osama Bin Laden!  Unlike our alliance with Al Qaeda and the Mujahedeen in their rocky terrain, higher than our Rockies in Afghanistan, the Apaches didn't have as Osama Bin Laden's guys did against the Russians the equivalent of our Stinger missiles..... thank you Charlie Wilson and Joanne King Herring!   Franklin Pierce had backed the unrepentant slaver and exporter of human misery to the Caribbean, William Walker, a man whose body I believe should be exhumed from its grave like Sally Hemming's to prove his relationship to George Herbert Walker Bush who lives not far from Robert Herring Hall on the Rice University campus next door to the library housing the silent....silent until now.... letters of Jefferson Davis to Franklin Pierce and whose family owns One America News....and who owned HL&P that became that bastion of stalwart business practice....Enron!  With the DNA analysis we would know once and for all that the apples don’t fall too far from the tree and that the Bay of Pigs and Iran-Contra fiascos were a disguised resurrection of William Walker’s lame filibustering attempts from the 19th Century hiding as it did under the Monroe Doctrine just as the invasion of Iraq by GWB was hiding under the guise of yellow cake uranium,” said Wigglesworth.

     Wigglesworth pointed to a number of articles on the subject, but he was especially concerned that Dr. Glaude understand that Union General William Tecumseh Sherman had been working in the San Francisco area to consolidate the rail head there in order to bypass San Diego, Jeff Davis’ proposed Pacific rail terminus.   “Leaving San Francisco for Vicksburg where the Davis rail route would cross the Mississippi, Sherman then went on to Atlanta where he turned the Atlantic terminus into flaming pretzels. Sherman showed his true colors by his actions at Ebenezer Creek and by the fact that the no-good scoundrel and lying montebank, General Braxton Bragg, brother of the Confederacy’s Attorney General, Thomas Bragg, was also the pre-Civil War business partner of Sherman who was working in California just before the Civil War with George C. Bragg on a rail line from Sacramento to San Francisco.   With the 1867 patenting of Alfred Nobel’s nitro-glycerin-stabilizing formula called Dynamite the South was bypassed, but Reconstruction was also brought to a very quick end, another indication that Sherman, Cushing, Pierce and friends were motivated by something more than liberty and justice for all.  There was still slavery, but it was from the product that Melville was cryptically warning all people about through his writings and not the chains that 600,000 were said to have died for,” said Wigglesworth noting that the sale of crack cocaine that Gary Webb's book Dark Alliance showed was part of an ongoing program of government bamboozling that emerged later and which the power brokers in the press wished to silence by killing the messenger.

      Wigglesworth has made much of abolitionist John Brown and  his backers in Boston where Douglass spoke at Faneuil Hall. “John Brown’s secret six backers included Boston’s lead bullet merchant, George Luther Stearns who always said, as weapons dealers do, "I'm betting on war".  The Boston Brahmins ordered their cutter from Baltimore home of Alexander Brown the progenitor of Brown Brother Harriman, Brown and Root, Kellogg Brown & Root.....where, not surprisingly,  the first test case for the Fugitive Slave Laws was that of the slave with the well-chosen Anglo name, James Hamlet, who worked at the Brown’s Merchant Shot Tower making lead musket balls for bullets while singing "To be, or Not to be".  Nearby was the Mt. Misery Plantation owned by Donald Rumsfeld where Douglass was “rendition” before he was returned to slavery and before he emerged as the Brahmin sponsored orator for abolition to steel the resolve of the people toward a convenient war, a story covered astonishingly by Amy Goodwin of Democracy Now.  Now we have Bill Clinton campaigning for Hillary and saying that ‘Franklin Pierce could not stop the drift toward Civil War because of the death in a train accident of his young son. Poor ancestor or Barbara Pierce Bush!   Clinton's empathy seems legitimate, but ' drift toward war'?  Shit!," said Wigglesworth.  This was Clinton's second faux pax on the same botched factoid of history.  The first was at his alma mater as he misled the student body of Georgetown University. 
     "Pierce like William Walker whom he supported was pushing headlong in the race toward war for the poppy railroad used to anesthetize the bloodly limbs and other body parts of civilians and soldiers alike.....a godsend to Eli Lilly and his cannoneers!  Here we see the Rhodes Scholar, Clinton, acting as Madison Avenue spoof meister to manage our moldy memories away from the truth of the matter. The proof of the pudding is in the reading…..in this case…..the 1861 letter from Jefferson Davis to Franklin Pierce that Clinton’s Rhodes Scholarship either did not impart a knowledge of, sadly, or which has been a deceptively omitted element of our common history and like the rest of our collective history covered in myth and not fact.”

      Indeed, Wigglesworth’s assessment has been well covered by Denise De La Tio in a recent article on Clinton’s remarks when she writes:

Like Frank Vandiver, President Clinton doesn't make the obvious connections for us about our own Civil War when so much was right in front of them for so long. If there is a “smoking gun” on America’s motivation for the Civil War it is the letter from Jefferson Davis to Franklin Pierce dated January 20, 1861 (Jefferson Davis, “The Papers of Jefferson Davis,” The PJD Project of Rice University, retrieved from https://jeffersondavis.rice.edu/Content.aspx?id=86 on 7/5/14). It reads:

"When Lincoln comes in he will have but to continue in the path of his predecessor to inaugurate a civil war and, leave a soi dissant democratic administration responsible for the fact. Genl. Cushing was here last week and when we parted it seemed like taking a last leave of a Brother."

     "Do you hear in this letter a concern about Pierce's a tragic 'drift toward war' as Clinton asserts?  Who would benefit from such an assertion and why?" asked Wigglesworth.  "A close reading of Bill Clinton's Arkansas experiences with Dan Lasater, Fahmy Malak and there is no reason that you wouldn't ask...."Was Franklin Pierce an ancestor of Barbara Pierce Bush?"

      According to Wigglesworth Dr. Glaude’s concern should not be Obama working as a snake oil salesman for Melville, but that the truth of our history….the truth…..the whole truth….and nothing, but the truth….not be covered over by a swarm of lies on every skinned ligament of the nation’s bloody carcass.  “Today, the issue is not that Melville was a voice in the wilderness of white folk spinning white priviledge.  Was Mellville warning Queequeg and all minorities not to mess with the Great White Whale of white privilege?   Or was he warning all humanity of the danger of chasing decadence in whatever blubbery form it takes?   The later!  Unlike Cormac McCarthy, Melville died broke and in obscurity....in a way similar to Jefferson Davis and Braxton Bragg, except that Melville wasn't chasing the same whale in the same way.  The Cushing family and their galaxy of business fortunes, the Franklin Pierce progeny and theirs, would soar while Davis and Bragg were dragged under by their ambitions.  It seems that the real captains had jumped ship to another thanks in part to Alfred Nobel and his 1866 patent on Dynamite.   Today you better be more worried that the Dumbledore of U.S. literature at Yale....home to the Heard's business colleagues....Huntingtons, Russells, Tafts and others, Harold Bloom, like the Dumbledore of U.S. journalism at Columbia University, Steve Coll, are tauting the works of Cormac McCarthy whose book Blood Meridian tells us where our ship of sad-state has birthed itself….not at Nemo’s feet…..at Kratos’ groin……and Cormac McCarthy says 'War is God'", said Wigglesworth.    
     And now we know, according to Wigglesworth just where we were in 1850 when Davis was laying out the South's rail route to San Diego, when William Walker was the Oliver North of Central America and when the Frolic wrecked on the Mendicino coast near Fort Bragg.   We also know the reason why our soldiers die in Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2016.   “One Nation Under God….Kratos!”

GWB's NATIONAL GUARD AWOL HIDES JEB'S STROLL THROUGH THE BODY LADEN CIA MUD WALLER.

     Fortunate sons maintain family fortunes secretly according to Bernardo Bandini Machiavelli Medici of Padua, Italy and Hialeah, Florida, president of the International Fellowship of Machiavellian Motive Watchers.  "Money gains more wealth and power and wealth protects power, power protects wealth....often brutally as with the June 20, 1979 murder of the ABC newsman in Nicaragua, Bill Stewart, who just arrived from Iran where the hostage crisis was reaching a fever pitch before the 1980 Presidential election.  White House staffer, Barbara Honegger, author of the book, October Surprise, presented at the December 17, 1992 National Press Club  her findings on this under-reported 1980 event that many have credited along with Jimmy Carter's failure to act decisively on the uncontrolled oil prices and failure to free the hostages, losing the White House.  

     GHWB and Ronald Reagan had, according to Honegger, a leg up on the competition, Jimmy Carter.   By receiving a promise from Iranian leaders that U.S. weapons with which to fight the Iraqis, weapons overpriced with profits from the Iranian transactions going to support the Contras whose war against Somoza's opposition would supposedly avoid another Cuba in the region, so the Iranian Mullahs would not release the hostages until after the November election.  "That's just how it happened," said Medici saying "We were like Franklin Pierce backing William Walker in Central America in the 1850's or like France or Britain backing the Union or Confederacy during our Civil War in the 1860's, but to what end? Oil and the fueling of another Civil War in Central America under the Contras and Somoza's brutal followers in the 1980's."

      Medici noted that in 1980 Abolhassan Banisadr was complaining as President of Iran while negotiating with the Jimmy Carter administration for the release of the U.S. hostages that  Reagan/Bush representatives were secretly negotiating with the Iranian Shiia Mullahs for the later release of the hostages which was tied to military aide for Iran to be used in a war with Iraq.   The roots of the Neo Cons' breeding of wars in the Middle East (reported by General Wesley Clark) are found in the Iran-Contra fiasco of the 1980's, the "October Surprise" of 1980 and the Iraq-Iran War that Bush's buddies fostered and then continued in its morphed form covered with yellow cake crumbs and dribbled into the creation of ISIS that wars with Iran and, like Al Qaeda, is really supported by the Saudi royal family that has it own colony of tethered gerbils far up the Saud/Bush relationship and vice versa.  The 1980 "October Surprise" would not reveal itself to the U.S. electorate until after Reagan and Bush won the Presidency.   On January 11, 2016 JEB Bush told Joe Scarborough that Obama had wrongly talked with the Iranians sending the wrong message to the Saudi royal family in Riyadh.   "Bush is a slick one, isn't he?  Where did he learn that distrust of the Iranians and trust of the Saudis who were the focus in 1992 of the FinCEN investigation of Saudi influence peddling in the U.S. with GWB's Air National Guard roommate, James Bath, as a main person of interest because of his place on the Bank of Commerce and Credit International that Robert Gates, hardly a Bush outsider, called the 'Bank of Crooks and Criminals'?" asked Medici who saw the entire era as one of playing one group of Muslims against another for financial gain with flagrant disregard for the cost to humanity and the environment.

      "This of course punctuates the shady history of U.S. and Iranian and Nicaraguan connections, not to mention Cuban relations in supporting the equally repressive Cuban leader, Fulgencio Batista, who like Somoza in Nicaragua, essentially preparing the Cuban nation, including its 30,000 man army, to join the 500 man army of Castro....a similar fate deeply feared by the Sunni Arab royal families in their battle against Iran.   "You couldn't have done a better job of fueling consent for a long, protracted Cold War, just as with the Saudi/Iran situation the Neo Cons fueled a phony protracted war on terror like the phony war on drugs.  The Bush family had the choice of appearing to be, hell being, Tory supporters of the outcast monarchial system of the past like Benedict Arnold, while financially benefitting from the Saudi monarchy's oil money, or taking the U.S.'s historic high ground with respect to championing liberty and freedom.  Guess which one they chose?  These chefs like to pee in the soup," said Medici. "The current oil glut cannot be blamed on Arab over-production.  It has come with the advent of new technologies including horizontal drilling used in fracking and that technology was developed by geologist and engineers like the husband of Rhonda Glover, Jimmy Joste, in Texas," said Medici.  "It's close control can steer humanity away from clean energy for decades like the little rudder on Exxon Valdez," he asserted.  "We don't have decades!"

    While the Contra death squads similar to those operating in Chile, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia under their various U.S. allies....Pinochet, Mubarak, the Shah, Saddam Hussein and Saudi royals,  appearances are kept up by pointing to the hope of a "kinder and gentler nation" and a "thousand points of light"....little specks of insignificant pin pricks amid a sea of utter darkness," said Bernardo Medici.  "To be benevolent, on the one hand, while swinging a big stick with the other....the dialectic is part of the process of bamboozling and that process has morphed over time until Americans' eyes are glazed over and the growing black yin runs over the shrinking white yang," said Medici who added...."time to balance the wheel."

       "Fact is, the families of these tyrants are given special U.S. protection and their diplomatic immunity or near immunity which means that they can recreate amid the U.S. body politic the same conditions that lost them their leadership elsewhere.  Their immunity is our infection.  The widow of Anastasio Somoza died at 90 in Houston, Texas nor far from the home of GHWB in the heart of the smuggling route that provided covert supplies for William Walker's expeditions to Central America, the Bay of Pigs and Iran-Contra the Reagan/Bush program that sought to reestablish Somoza in Nicaragua.  Just as in Nicaragua where Bill Stewart was murdered by Somoza's National Guard, in the U.S. people die, too....Don Ives, Kevin Henry, Gary Webb, Mark Lombardi, Sibley Riggs and scores and scores others," said Medici.

 

 

 

       "JEB Bush's involvement in the CIA while his brother was on vacation from the Texas Air National Guard is a story people don't want to hear, but need to hear.  If you were Bill Stewart's brother or sister, nephew or uncle, you'd be following this story," concluded Medici who believes that Wayne Madsen's article on JEB's CIA days is an important source of information for a "brain-dead electorate" pumped by the leading nerds of the Washington Post and Columbia University, Steve Coll and Jeff Leen or of the University of Missouri's School of Journalism, Steve Weinberg.  Medici referenced the University of Missouri's recent woes and the choreographed attack on Gary Webb by IRE's former Director, Steve Weinberg in concert with Jeff Leen and described in Truth In Search of a Unicorn.

     Madsen's concerns are echoed by Barbara Honneger who has claimed that Robert Parry's FrontLine documentary on the Reagan/Bush "October Surprise" had discredited key witnesses which Honneger, a Reagan staffer, defends.  Parry would, after the damage was done, later confirm that key Iranian official had made the arrangements, but after 911 Robert Parry became a key target of  David Ray Griffin whose "Why Do Bill Moyers and Robert Parry Believe in Miracles?" which has been tauted as compelling argument for a 911 bamboozling by editor of Harper's Magazine and Lapham's Quarterly, Lewis Lapham, who has cited Griffin's book on the subject Debunking the 911 Debunking.

     Madsen provides a letter from Jeb Bush, an employee of the James A. Baker owned Texas Commerce Bank that was purchased by Chemical Bank of New York in 1987.  Robert W. Gambino, the letter's recipient, was the head of security for the Central Intelligence Agency and nominated by Ronald Reagan to be Deputy Inspector General of the U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation, the government owned business that would help build U.S. energy self-sufficiency based on the fuels that competed directly with the fossil fuel industry in the same way that J. Robert Oppenheimer's nuclear ambitions would do when he was deposed of his national security clearance thanks to the testimony of Dr. Kenneth Pitzer.  Pitzer was the President of Rice University, Houston.  Rice University, home to the James A. Baker Center for Public Policy was where Pitzer, also a chemist, was working on high octane jet fuels at the time of the Oppenheimer's defrocking for the fossil fuel cartel," said Medici.  "These guys are like the Pope holding Galileo and Copernicus' nuts in a noose," said Medici.  "They believed that the oil at the center of the earth makes earth the center of the universe....hell, IS the center of the universe in spite of the fact that its use will kill the planet in a couple of decades while the sun will shine for about three or four billion more years.  Meanwhile these greasy bastards are sucking the Royal Saudi's oily pump handles in a region that has only two warring Muslim religions proving to be the meat market and money mill for their war profiteering," Medici maintains.  "Think about that next time you hear your neighbor's boy or girl is processed through Dover Air Force Base, Delaware," said Medici.

     "A clear link to Robert W. Gambino and the Gambino crime family was not established by Madsen in his article on JEB Bush, though Peter Brewton, the award winning reporter for the Houston Post and author of the 1992 book, The Mafia, CIA and George Bush, provides a meticulously documented account of the Bush/Mafia connections to the 1980's S&L crisis," said Medici.

     Brewton argues (p. 166) that Stefan Halper who was named Policy Director by GWHB for his 1980 campaign had been selected primarily to see "whether Carter's people might be able to pull off an 'October Surprise', in getting the American hostages in Tehran released before the election, possibly thereby securing victory for the Democrats."

    Brewton adds:  The Times quoted an unnamed source as saying, "There was some CIA stuff coming from Halper, and some agency guys were hired."  One former CIA official working for Halper during the campaign was Robert W. Gambino, who headed the CIA super-sensitive Office of Security.

    "Had the information that Bill Stewart was carrying from Iran to Nicaragua during the 1980 Presidential election been shared with Anastasio Somoza it would have come from Gambino," said Medici pointing to an article on his desk by Peter Pezonus titled Somewhere Between the Properline and the Dirty Low Down that linked the Texas airport where Salem Bin Laden died in 1988 to the the National Reconnaissance Office.   "That's not the scary part.  Somoza's business partners in Nicaragua were Neal and Linden Blue, Yale fraternity brothers of GWB who make the U.S. Predator and Reaper drones that have become the favorite weapon of enforcement of U.S. foreign policy and putting in the backseat the traditional intelligence requirements of a nation that has honored in the past, its distant past and early beginnings, the ethics of justice, fair play and humanitarian ends.....so now along our relatively short ride the saddle is sliding off the horse's ass.  It's a really shitty place to be," Medici concluded as he mentioned the governments use of drones on its own U.S. citizens in recent police investigations.

In Bed With The Infidels

On Finding A Saudi Arabian Ambassador’s Eyeball On Top of Your Italian Wedding Cake

By Toby R. Nuttebee, CPW News Service

      This week the Saudi royal family whose 2001 involvement in the 911 plot has been meticulously censored by the U.S. government by redacting twenty-eight pages of the official 911 Commission Report chopped off the head of an Iranian cleric and twenty five members of Al Qaeda just to make the decision an equal opportunity event.  The Iranian cleric is Shiite and the others are Sunni.

     “It’s like the English Queen hauling the IRA and a bunch or Orange dudes to Trafalgar Square and putting them on the chopping block to show that she’s impartial,” said Peter Pezonus an independent U.S. investigative reporter.

      Pezonus believes that the only way the U.S. can help solve the Middle East crisis is to stop making money off of war profits.  “If Iran-Contra told us anything at all it was that there’s gold in them there hills of missiles and mortars.  Spitz Channell tapped his best supporters for the Contra cause in Texas and sold over-priced weapons for a profit that he pumped into Central American spud chuckers and night stalkers.  Just before that in 1980 was Charlie Wilson’s war, the same year as the Reagan/Bush "October Surprise" and the same thing happened….history repeated itself semi-differently…..Osama Bin Laden led the Al Qaeda element of the Muslim Brotherhood from Hosni Mubarack’s Egyptian Al Qaeda that had murdered Anwar Sadat and sweet Joanne King Herring helped put Wilson’s weapons in Osama’s little bloody hands….but bloody back then from gushing Russian arteries.   Now we wish we had asked the Russians under Gorbachev or Yeltsin to join a new NATO.   We thought Osama and the Mujahedeen and their ally, Al Qaeda, a hero, but then Osama's older brother inexplicably flew that ultra-light airplane into a high power line in Cibolo, Texas in 1988, an important election year for GHWB and Jewish CBS reporter, Lowell Bergman, wrongly reported that Salem was in his BAC-111 jet when he died.   It was like telling us that Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company had poisoned millions with carcinogens from Cuban cigars instead of cigarettes.   The disinformation was no small thing.  Osama probably felt that way, too, but he sure wasn’t going to blame the Iranians for his brother’s death.  If Salem, an experienced jet pilot, had been set up to fly parallel to the mega voltage power line along the runway veering directly into it, it wouldn’t have been the Iranians.  They haven’t even made their first nuke, much less perfected the elements of a drone-driven air-cart and why would they want to?   The Shiite Iranians didn’t like the Russians any more than they did the Afghanistani freedom-fighting-Sunni-backed Al Qaeda,” said Pezonus, "but what exactly happened to Osama's big brother in Texas remains a serious and troubling mystery for everyone."

     By the spring and summer of 2015 it was being widely reported that the SEAL Team Six raid in Abbottsabad, Pakistan had yielded from Osama's personal laptop a plan to reconstitute his terrorist network in Iran.....bad news for the twenty-five just beheaded.....but good news for the Neo-Con agenda that the former head of NATO, General Wesley Clark, reported was their goal all along....seven wars across the Middle East including ones with Iraq, Syria and Iran.

     Pezonus is joined by Fabian Colbachi a fellow independent newsman who shares Pezonus’ concerns for just what happened to Salem Bin Laden.  “It is much more likely that Salem had a big part in the 1980 “October Surprise” that was at the core of the initial development of Oliver North’s Iran/Central American mishegoss at the same time as our aide to the Afghans with tentacles into Tehran and Riyadh,” said Colbachi.   Salem was just another inconvenient witness to the truth like Scott Shuger after 911 or like Mark Lombardi in 2000 or like Gary Webb in 1996 and 1997 and in 2004 when he miraculously killed himself with two head shots.    Tuff act, but Bill Clinton's friend, the Little Rock medical examiner, Fahmy Malak, says it happens all the time,” said Colbachi.

     Pezonus is resolute in the fact that the only way for the U.S. to avoid the blow-back is to quit blowing back the hair of the innocent people who get caught in our wayward policies.

      “General Wesley Clark laid out what the Neo Cons…..Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Armitage and the rest were doing invading Iraq after 911 and then covering over the Saudi culpability.  Kind of hard to ignore when fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and with Al Qaeda headed by the son of the Saudi’s top construction engineer and given Prince Bandar Bush's shared pabulum and pacifier with GWB,” said Pezonus who was especially concerned that the DEA helped to foil a 2007 plot to blow up the Saudi Ambasador in a Washington D.C. eatery.

      “Like so much of the Iran-Contra and Charlie Wilson War goodies…..hell, don’t forget William Walker’s incursion in Nicaragua in the 19^th Century or the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961…..the clustering copulators flow through Texas more than any other state in the Union with the possible exception of Florida, both states Bush bastions of back alley shenanigans.  So there was this 2007 plot by an Iranian member of their special forces, Arbabsiar,….their revolutionary guard so to speak….who was hiring a Mexican Zeta to kill the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia as he ate at Georgetown’s Milano Café, a very popular eat-and-be-seen Washington D.C. hot spot owned by Franco Nuschese.  The Iranian, obviously a Shiia and not a Saudi royal boot-licking Sunni, Mansour J. Arbabsiar, would have his Texas property confiscated by the state after he was convicted.   He had tried to recruit what he thought was a Zeta hitman, but he was a Zeta/DEA informant,” said Pezonus.

     “Poor Arbabsiar.  I actually feel sorry for the guy who didn’t know that the part of the world where he was doing his recruiting has more Middle Eastern drug and weapons dealers hopping across the border than my dog when he’s told to stay in his own yard when the bitch next door is in heat.  Consider the Lebanese Chagra brother from Juarez and El Paso.  You think the Mexicans named their port city across from Brownsville, Matamoros, “kill the Moors”, for nothing?    Smoke this:  Some of them are Maronite Catholics and not Muslims at all, but can look any part you want....like Antoine Chagur in Cormac McCarthy's imagination.  Ask Woody Harrelson about the Chagras,” said Pezonus adding "they were selling Toledo swords to both the Moors and El Cid and even Richard the Lionhearted long before we heard of Stingers."

      Colbachi who had read the same articles about Arbabsiar the Iranian and agreed with Pezonus, “It would not have been very nice for the Iranians to have killed the Saudi Ambassador, blown the place to smithereens,  Arbabsiar being told there might be 150 other deaths,  while the Ambassador was eating his lasagna or Caesar salad in such a public and popular forum.  "No problema," said Arbabsiar. This raises all kinds of speculation about the role that the DEA has with Mexican drug cartels which recently brought out the fact that El Chapo may have a secret concordat with the DEA, an assertion that the Drug Enforcement Agency hotly denies, but puts the history of Manuel Noriega, Barry Seal and loads of other questionable DEA activities or non-activities under another cloud even when in the case of Noriega and others they are apprehended as surely El Chapo will be.

     “There is only one solution for this mess as I see it,” said Colbachi.  “Move immediately to hydrogen fuel cells, renewable energy sources, pull our lips off the Middle Eastern oil nipples and start to plant poppies on every porch in America and the world.  Change our drug policies and change our leadership forever and nationalize our privatized military.   As our returning soldiers who are committing suicide in record number really do know, this is what has really motivated our presence in the Middle East and has since the negotiating of the Wanghia Treaty with China promising them that we wouldn’t distribute as the British had, David Sassoon’s opioids from the Golden Crescent among their poor.  Oops!  We lied!  Hello Mao’s Cultural Revolution!   Oh, and don’t eat in a place where a Saudi Ambassador, or an Iranian Ambassador for that matter, eat veal Marsala.   You might end up with their eyeballs floating in your Ribollita or your ear hanging from Mitch McConnell's bloody chin.    The Saudi Royals?  Their greatest fear is that the Iranian Shiias are the equivalent of England's religious zealot, Oliver Cromwell.  They could easily end up like Cuba’s Batista whose 30,000 man army joined Fiedel’s 500 man army overnight,” said Colbachi who believes that the U.S. effort to free Cuba from Spain was a good thing, even if the Battleship Maine was like yellow cake in Iraq, though to allow Cuba to degrade along a different track into corporate fascism with underworld elements under Batista that soured the hard working people there into Fiedel's minions was a great tragedy, too.
       Pezonus cornered the passion of the moment....."but we'll still need some of those petro-chems for our plastics.....the family friend talking to Dustin Hoffman's character in the 60's movie, The Graduate, was still right!  Renewables AND petro-chems, but not as smog-pumpers.
     The U.S., and this is what the Shiia and Sunni Muslims have a hard time understanding since their two-party religion is essentially a Civil War bent on avoiding reformation, enlightenment and a religion-neutral rule of law, went Oliver Cromwell one better by forging on the altar of human experience a method of successfully passing on power peacefully and separating religion from government and government from religion and proving Voltaire correct when he said of the U.S. 'If there were only two religions they'd kill each other.  As it is there are hundreds and they live quite peaceably.' The young Egyptians of the Arab Spring seemed to be developing a glimpse of it just as it appears that the U.S. is losing ours with what Lewis Lapham has termed The Wish For Kings: Democracy At Bay and a return to political dynasties, a ruling elite that cremates care and identifies itself with Arab royals and fossil fuel dollars to keep the crematorium aglow and defended by it high-tech weaponry as the planet drops into a big sink hole."
