"What makes this crime so hideous is that it preys on peoples' fears and hopes when they are the most vulnerable.....usually when they are facing a long-term debilitating illness and when they are looking for answers.  I hope that there is a special place in a sulfur-bubbling hell for Ms. Holmes and her kind and given that her list of fraud-pushers.....attorney David Boies the attorney for Andy Fastow the Enron CPA who faced 78 indictments for fraud, "Mad Dog Mattis", Gary Roughhead, George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, William Perry, Sam Nunn and Bill Frist jumped on this greasy band wagon I'm hoping that they ride along with Ms. Holmes to a place where more will be required than a single drop of their ice cold blood or whatever it is that pulses through their obviously hardened arteries."    

  - Fabian Colbachi.




     Things were looking up for the daughter of Enron Vice President Christian Rasmus Holmes IV. Elizabeth Holmes, a graduate of St. John's School, Houston, Texas and of Stanford University, created Theranos, a California-based high-tech blood testing business that promised to revolutionize the way blood samples were collected and tested. Former Secretary of State George Shultz would be recruited by Elizabeth Holmes for the Theranos board of directors. Shultz assured the American people that Iran-Contra was an aberration and, during the Iran-Contra hearings gave the American people a civics lesson on honesty and openness in government. That was before Schultz joined Bechtel whose "Bechtel Water Wars" in Bolivia attempted to monopolize that nation's water supply restricting citizens from collecting rainwater from their rooftops. Hearing Ms. Holme's plans for Theranos, George Shultz promoted others for the Theranos board of directors leading to the arrival of U.S. Senator Sam Nunn, former Defense Secretary William J. Perry, former Wells Fargo Bank CEO Richard Kovacevich, General James "Mad Dog" Mattis, USN Admiral Gary Roughhead, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former Tennessee Senator Dr. William 'Bill' Frist.  Lydia Ramsey of Business Insider analyzed the glaring contradiction in Theranos' need for medical expertise and board member selection based on political connectedness instead of scientific knowledge and qualitative and quantitatively critical thinking.  That contradiction came to a head with Tyler Shultz.
     Tyler Shultz, former Sec. of State George Shultz's grandson, was hired as a Theranos executive, but soon sought protection under a whistle blower law suit during which he proclaimed "fraud is not a corporate trade secret."
     "Tyler Shultz perhaps remembered George Shultz's testimony from the Iran-Contra hearings during which Michael Bromwich became the leading prosecutor, insuring that convictions did not include anyone higher in rank than Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. Bromwich went on to lead an investigation of Houston's Harris County Medical Examiner's lab in the city that had spawned Enron where Elizabeth Holmes' father worked and, indirectly, Theranos," said independent investigative journalist Fabian Colbachi. "The Harris County crime lab was overseen by Dr. Joyce Carter and District Attorney Johnny B. Holmes. It is not known if Elizabeth Holmes is related to Johnny B. Holmes or to Boston surgeon, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. who coined the word 'anesthetics' for opium products, nor his son, Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., whose judgeship overlapped the period of U.S. drug policy development that helped create the cultural climate for the U.S. 'War on Drugs'," said Colbachi noting Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.'s connections to Boston where Caleb Cushing and John Perkins Cushing's opium trade fed the growing need for high grade pain killers within the growing field of surgical medicine as well as a battlefield necessity becoming the core product of Union artillery commander and pharmacist, Eli Lilly's, post-Civil War pharmaceutical business.  "That Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. was the poet who wrote of Herman Melville's paternal grandfather, Major Thomas Melville, the poem The Last Leaf shows how close was Herman to the New England opium traders in as much as I am convinced that Moby Dick was a symbol of the traders' hot pursuit of the white drool of the Golden Crescent's opium poppies that would sink the Pequod, Ahab and the last life boat which led to Herman's tyranny-checking follow-up novel Billy Budd," said Wigglesworth.
     "Look," said Colbachi, "Elizabeth Holmes is a graduate of St. Johns School, Houston, the alma mater of William Stamps Farish IV, and of Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, daughter of Humble Oil founder and Rice University anthropologist whose colleague in the Rice history department, Dr. Frank Vandiver, sat over the letters of Jefferson Davis including that amazing letter from Davis to Barbara Pierce Bush ancestor for whom in speeches for his wife, Hillary, in 2016 and 2017 Bill Clinton strangely became an apologist, President Franklin Pierce. The Jeff Davis letter acknowledges the close three-way fraternal relationship of Jefferson Davis and Franklin Pierce to New England opium trader, Caleb Cushing. That is the alliance that historian Lowell P. Wigglesworth has claimed is the real motive for the U.S. Civil War....wrestling the Great Southwest flatland rail route from Savannah, Georgia to San Diego, California from the Confederates and putting the New England Brahmins with their minions at Yale, like William Huntington Russell, the Heards, the Tafts, Cushings, Delanos and others in control of the Ottoman Empire's Golden Crescent opium supplies and a war-footing dialect of bullets and pain killers that spawned the U.S. military industrialist security complex," said Colbachi.
     Colbachi noted that the Transcontinental Railroad's Leland Stanford sat over the Southern and Central Pacific that linked the route from Omaha to San Francisco while the South's ambitions were squelched. "You find no more clearly the evolution of this part of history than in the work of Lowell P. Wigglesworth who maintains that Stanford's Hoover Institution defector, Anthony C. Sutton, blew his own whistle on this secret history of the American power elite establishment while exposing the self-perpetuating, addictive and dynamic business model dialectic of bombs and pain killers'."
     "You have to remember as we watch President Donald Trump face resistance to his appointments that President John Tyler holds the record for Senate rejection of his cabinet appointments, but those appointments in 1843 help to underscore the place that opium had in our nation's history, much hidden from  our civics classes and university lectures.  In December of 1843 Tyler appointed the former Port of Boston Customs Collector, David Henshaw as the 14th Secretary of the U.S. Navy.  In March Tyler appointed Caleb Cushing as Secretary of the Treasury.   Henshaw was a druggist.   Cushing an opium trader.  Do you see any correlations there?  Well, when Henshaw proposed that factions within the U.S. Navy, factions that split along the North/South divide, he recommended that sailors from the North be assigned to the South while the sailors from the South be assigned to the North.  Henshaw's appointment was overwhelmingly defeated.  Within a decade Jefferson Davis was personally laying out the South's rail route to the Pacific from Savannah to San Diego with the South's own China Trade ambitions clearly coming to light, but swept under the rug of predominant U.S. mythology," said Wigglesworth. "It's hard to get soldiers to lay down their lives for yellow cake uranium hidden in the desert of Iraq from which, historically, David Sassoon shipped for the British East India Company Golden Crescent opium from Baghdad and Basra to China, much less to get 600,000 U.S. soldiers more than a century earlier to die over poppy greed as was the case in our Civil War.   Better that they fight like Spartacus over freedom and liberty imagined....especially when the war promoters knew that one set of chains would be replaced by another to their profit," said Wigglesworth.
     Wigglesworth has noted that it is Edwin Black's book The Transfer Agreement that challenges the assessment of Ronald Reagan's Under-Secretary of the Treasury, economist and Wall Street Journal contributor, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, who said that the current U.S. NeoCon/NeoLib agenda of worldwide U.S. hegemony is an Anglo/Zionist conspiracy.  "It's not an Anglo/Zionist conspiracy, but a Aryan/Zionist conspiracy.....as shown by Edwin Black in the Germanic Aryan and Ashkenazi alliance that created the "transfer agreement" between Hitler's Germany and Zionist leaders.  The Anglos, especially the American Anglos had rejected the proposal of Rudolf Hess to create an Anglo/German alliance against the world.  However, that dream is at the heart of the NeoCon/NeoLib agenda still."
     "Elizabeth Holmes' father, a VP at the criminal enterprise of Enron that evolved from Robert Herring's Houston Natural Gas, also held positions at USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, which you must never forget has played a role within the story of John Perkin's book Confessions of an Economic Hitman. This makes Elizabeth Holmes the great great granddaughter of Christian Rasmus Holmes, Sr. who died in Manhattan, but who was buried in the Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio, the significance of which I have covered extensively in my writings with respect to Alphonso Taft, progenitor of Yale Skull & Bones and final resting place of the highest concentration of Civil War era Union Generals who are buried in Spring Grove near Alphonso Taft," said Wigglesworth.  "Taft, a Scottish Rite Mason in the vein of the KKK's legal counsel Albert Pike, Jeff Davis' chief Indian agent, saw William Howard Taft, Alphonso's son, join his Cincinnati SR temple in 1908, while Pike's brand of Free Masonry was not the same as the more egalitarian York Rite Masonry of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and the other Founders, but instead came through the German/Prussian royal court, passing through the Jacobite regions of Scotland with its monarchial and pyramidal passions and leap frogging the Atlantic to infect and usurp York Rite Masonry in America.  This is a significant assemblage when you consider that Alphonso's and William Huntington Russell's associate, Caleb Cushing, who negotiated the first U.S./Chinese trade agreement, the Wanghia Treaty, was believed by President U.S. Grant, to be loyal to something other than the Union, a viewpoint earlier shared by Congress who refused to appoint Cushing Secretary of the Treasury for President Tyler.  I cover all of that in my writings," said Wigglesworth.  "By 1833 the New England opium traders and Yale power elites had canonized the Germanic traditions of Wilhelm Wundt and secretly aligned with an Aryan/Hapsburg/Jacobite tradition that was anything but supportive of the traditions of the Founders.  The monarchs of Britain had employed the Hessians of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha region of Germany against the American colonists, which as researcher Edwin Black has shown us in his book The Transfer Agreement and War Against the Weak found no problem with employing phony, pseudo science if it furthered their draconian, Machiavellian cause," said Wigglesworth who is fond of reminding the world that the Godmother of George Herbert Walker Bush's sister-in-law, Elizabeth Kauffman Bush, was a Nazi spy and wife of the Saxe-Gotha-Coburg Duke of Windsor, Prince Edward, Wallis Simpson Windsor.
     "The Christian R. Holmes Hospital in Cincinnati was built with contributions from William Cooper and Jane Elisa Procter, Charles Phelps and Anna Sinton Taft, as well as Bettie Fleischmann Holmes, Christian R. Holmes’ widowed wife, and others indicating the relationship between the Holmes family and the Taft family of which Alphonso was the patriarch. It underscores their mutual interest in trade with the old Ottoman Empire's Golden Crescent, China and patent medicines and healthcare delivery systems worldwide. This cannot be overlooked when considering the evolution of Theranos or even of the Fleischmann Yeast Co. of which Christian R. Holmes was an heir and which was sold as much for a laxative as it was a bread dough additive," said Wigglesworth.
    "Neither can you forget that it was Tennessee Senator, close friend of George Bush, and surgeon, William Frist, whose HCA/Columbia merger produced through attorney, Rick Scott, the record setting highest Medicare/Medicaid fraud fine in U.S. history of $1.7 billion before Scott went from his Columbia/HCA CEO position with his $400 million severance package to finance his gubernatorial campaign in Florida where the electorate was swimmingly insouciant or deeply ethically challenged even after experiencing the 2000 Presidential chad-clinging under Florida Governor Jeb Bush.  It was Dr. William 'Bill' Frist who plugged that weird, errant, through-the-lung-bullet that hit General David Petraeus during a troop inspection at Fort Campbell Kentucky.  It was also in Houston, home of Christian Rasmus Holmes IV and daughter Elizabeth that the Washington Post's Metro Editor, Vernon Loeb, editor of the flagrantly flawed account of Pat Tillman's death in Afghanistan and Jessica Lynch's rescue in Iraq was followed by Loeb's co-authorship of Paul Broadwell's book All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, that ruined his career at the CIA moved to become Editor of the Houston Chronicle...right there in the cradle of cross-over corruption from the S&L scandal of the 1980's, to the same players involved in Iran-Contra according to Houston Post reporter Peter Brewton, author of the 1992 book, The Mafia, CIA and George Bush. From the S&L debacle to Enron and Theranos, not to mention the more recent cross-over of the Nabors/S&J/Miami Employees Retirement Fund scandal, the push-pin plops down on Houston where Connecticut resident GHWB was conveniently absentee-domiciled in the run-up to his 1988 election in a year that saw Osama Bin Laden's brother, Salem, flying a borrowed ultra-light into a high power line at Cibolo, Texas while CIA Middle-East agent, Matt Gannon, was returning to Washington to ask about Al Qaeda when he died on Pan Am 103 with General David Petraeus delivering Gannon's eulogy at Arlington National.  The arrival of Vernon Loeb to the city where Michael Bromwich had investigated the Medical Examiner's office for corruption guaranteed an umbrella over the Mecca, Medina and Vatican of oil cartel bamboozling dating back to the travesty against Oppenheimer by Kenneth Pitzer and Gordon Gray, father of Bush lawyer, C. Boyden Gray," said Wigglesworth noting the connection of LBJ's "Suite F-8 Group" to Houston and its place in the evolution of the "benzene bubble-blowers fellowship."
     When venture capitalist Tim Draper called Elizabeth Holmes a victim he inadvertently helped to underscore the historical cabal's wagon circling to protect its own in much the same way as was seen with the defense of Ken Lay at Enron before that ship went down like the Pequod.  Did Bloomberg or Forbes, the NYT or Washington Post ask "just who is Tim Draper?"  No.  Draper cut his teeth at Alex Brown & Company whose patriarch, Alexander Brown of Baltimore hatched Brown Brothers for which U.S. Marine General Smedley Darlington Butler wrote in his book War Is A Racket that he had helped pacify Nicaragua for Brown Brothers and Costa Rica for United Fruit which had preciously been Boston Fruit Company.    Ms. Holmes, for all of her rhetoric about wanting to help people get the jump on bodily health issues, she is aligned with the gears of the military industrialist security complex that grinds under peoples health in a myriad of high tech, but barbaric ways according to Colbachi.  "Draper argues that though Ms. Holme's Theranos may not have invented the holy grail of blood tests....the one prick....one drop do-it-all blood test....that someone will invent it," said Colbachi.  "Yes, well you can't claim that ground if you didn't plant a flag in it," said Colbachi and problem is that when someone does they had damn well better be phalanxed by a powerful wall of protection not to have these insipient cowbirds steal their babies," said Colbachi noting their historical proximity to the U.S.'s Deep State.
     "Nothing provides a 'get out of jail free card like a connection to the U.S. government's power elite and a corrupt local medical examiner," said Wigglesworth noting the Tuskegee Experiment and Pruitt-Igoe Experiment along with the "criminally negligent slow response to ban lead and asbestos that Europeans banned decades earlier than the U.S..   Legal penalties and fines leveled by the Feds against the corruption seen in Columbia/HCA or Enron cases, Theranos aside since its bold criminality and eventually deduced bamboozling-hype of $9 billion valuation prevented its 2016 IPO, still yields on average an 80% return to the criminals at taxpayers' or investors' expense when the news of the fraud hits the streets and the stocks plummet just after the prior bonus transfer of funds by the executives to their Swiss, Bermuda, Cayman or Channel Islands bank account," said Wigglesworth.
    "What makes this crime so hideous is that it preys on peoples' fears and hopes when they are the most vulnerable.....usually when they are facing a long-term debilitating illness and when they are looking for answers.  I hope that there is a special place in a sulfur-bubbling hell for Ms. Holmes and her kind and given that her list of fraud-pushers.....attorney David Boies the attorney for Andy Fastow the Enron CPA who faced 78 indictments for fraud, "Mad Dog Mattis", Gary Roughhead, George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, William Perry, Sam Nunn and Bill Frist jumped on this greasy band wagon I'm hoping that they ride along with Ms. Holmes to a place where more will be required than a single drop of their ice cold blood or whatever it is that pulses through their obviously hardened arteries," said Fabian Colbachi noting that Elizabeth Holmes discussed with former Secretary of State George Shultz the importance of people making their personal health information more accessible based on her vision of lower testing costs.  "Now there's a scary thought," said Colbachi.

ROBERT PARRY BELIEVES TRUMP WAGGED THE DOG

CONSORTIUM NEWS FOUNDER DOUBTS SARIN GAS ATTACK BASED ON CIA FOOTSOLDIERS' APPROACHING REBELLION

by Winsip Custer, CPW News Service

"Just two days after news broke of an alleged poison-gas attack in northern Syria, President Trump brushed aside advice from some U.S. intelligence analysts doubting the Syrian regime’s guilt and launched a lethal retaliatory missile strike against a Syrian airfield.'   -Robert Parry


      Robert Parry, founder of Consortium News doubts the official Trump-jump on Syria based on a theorized sarin gas attack.   Parry, chided for his acceptance of the Official 911 Report of the U.S. government by 911 Truth author David Ray Griffin, has cited the criticism of Middle East CIA field agents who have provided legitimate contrary witness to the Trump White House rationale for the recent attack. Supported by nearly 60% of Americans led by Senators Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, Parry instead joins a growing cadre of disillusioned skeptics who believed that the U.S.'s core value is dishonesty.
      Meanwhile, the conservative talk show host who holds a PhD in what he says is epidemiology, San Francisco-based Michael Savage,  reviewed the film footage of the event and concluded that there is no evidence that it was sarin, a nerve agent.  Rather, it appears that the agent used in the reported attack was chlorine or phosgene, a choking agent, not a nerve agent.  Building on the improbability of either Russians or Syrians wanting to retreat from their assurances that chemical agents, banned by the Geneva Conventions as a war crime, will not and have not been used, Savage is joined by former Ronald Reagan Under-Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts, Hawaii's U.S. Congresswoman and Iraq War veteran, Tulsi Gabbard, and a growing array of concerned citizens calling for a Congressional investigation of the recent $60 million U.S. cruise missile strike on the Syrian airbase from which the gas attack was supposedly staged.
     Independent investigative author, Peter Pezonus, said "David Ray Griffin pummels both Bill Moyers and Robert Parry for believing in totally impossible miracles in order to accept the official U.S. government version of the 911 attack on the World Trade Center.  Here we see a continuation of the total disinformation of the Left/Right cabal of the U.S. NeoCons/NeoLibs who under the GHWB, Clinton, GWB and Obama administrations have led the U.S. and world toward a wayward anti-American policy coup of U.S. world hegemony while the U.S.  Middle-Class was stripped of their jobs under NAFTA, the Bush/Clinton legacy that included the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 leading to World-Com, Tyco, Enron and the 2000-2008 bamboozle of the housing bubble bailout.    Truth is the victim of this push toward imposed hegemony," said Pezonus.
     "Like it or not the old Soviet Union survived and thrived on the inclusion of cultures nurtured by the suppression of religion freedom.  The U.S. Constitution insures the suppression of misdirected religious freedom not by force of arms, but by force of will and conscience, but the effects are the same making us the U.S. and its allies, Russia and its allies natural teammates against ISIS, but along the lines of the message of Alexander Solzhynitsyn in his 1978 Princeton University commencement speech, A World Split Apart," said Pezonus.  "Solzhynitsyn  believed then that we were at a critical crossroads that would require the equivalent to stepping onto a new anthropological stage in world history.  And now? What we have going on since 911 is the use of religion by the fight-promoting war-mongering military industrialist security complex to profit from human misery and conflict," he continued.
    "The problem is," said Pezonus, "that ISIS, like Al Qaeda, is not a naturally evolving religion, but the product of the military industrialist security complex's evolution of the demonic lust for war profits with funding coming from the captured U.S. taxpayers and the oil money of the Saudi royal family which holds control over the high holy places of Islam's warring sects....Shia and Sunni Muslims....Mecca and Medina.  It's like Madison Square Garden on fight night with the war mongers controlling the beer and pop corn concessions and both corners of the ring.  They can count on ignorance prevailing when no new enlightenment  is allowed.  Their common denominator is fossil fuels and the belief that sludge is the center of the universe...which it isn't.  Not even our sun that will burn for about four billion years and create the earth's ubiquitous wind energy is that."
    Pezonus believes that we see the dark side of the U.S. intelligence apparatus' descent into the abyss of insanity with the 1988 death of Salem Bin Laden in Cibolo, Texas, at an airport owned by the in-laws of the National Reconnaissance Office's Commander General Bruce Carlson whose agency was responsible for the 911 games that essentially stood down NORAD on September 11, 2001.  1988 was the year that CIA agent Matthew Gannon was returning from the Middle East to ask the CIA brass at Langley just why the rank and file CIA agents like those being now cited by Robert Parry with respect to Syria, who had no reliable information on Al Qaeda which was organized with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, moved to Assad's Syria where Assad ejected them only to land in Saudi Arabia where they were receiving funding, diplomatic travel documents for their arrival in Afghanistan to fight alongside the Mujahedeen and for free access into the USA for flight training.   "The capital of the world's oil cabal is Houston, Texas and its surrounding climes...Freeport where Freeport McMoran Sulphur....Henry Kissinger on it's board who employed L. Paul Bremer at Kissinger & Associates before 911 with Kissinger being Bush's first choice for heading the 911 investigation until the 911 families asked if his clients included the Bin Ladens while Freeport McMoran and  Houston provides the ingredients for gunpowder and where National Lead Co. provides the ingredients for bullets while just up the road the Huntsville  there's the hometown of Robert Abercrombie Lovett who fashioned the U.S. policy of bombing civilian centers....also home to Rex Tillerson of Exxon and now like Secretary of State James A. Baker had in nearby Houston, where his Baker Center for Public Policy honored Alan Greenspan with an award for his 'Greenspan Put' and the irrational exuberance that led directly to the 2008 crash," said Pezonus.
    Matthew Gannon died on Pan Am 103, the same year as Salem Bin Laden's crash in Cibolo, Texas.  Gannon was traveling with the son of the FBI's head of counter intelligence who changed his flight plans at the last minute.  That FBI agent's father, the highest ranking non-appointed officer in the Bureau, was in charge of the Pan Am 103 investigation for the Bureau.  Gannon's eulogy was provided at Arlington National Cemetery by General David Petraeus, but Gannon's place on Pan Am 103 has been conspicuously absent in the retelling of the Pan Am 103 story.  "With the multi-billion dollar settlement going to the victim's families from the coffers of Kaddafi's Libya there is now no incentive to know the truth about Pan Am 103," according to Pezonus who believes that Houston,  Texas is ground zero for the 911 plot and not California as the 28 redacted pages of the Official 911 Report would have us believe based on a 2016 CBS 60 Minutes report.   "Houston is where the oil cabal stripped Julius Robert Oppenheimer of his leadership through the testimony of President Kenneth Pitzer of Rice University as Pitzer worked on fossil jet fuel taking Oppenheimer's national security clearance for not wanting to build the hydrogen bomb.  Rice is home to Philip Zelikow and of Paul and David Rhodes....Paul Rhodes the mouthpiece for the Obama/Clinton Benghazi attack, Zelikow the gatekeeper on the phony gong show of the Official 911 Report and Paul Rhodes' brother, now President of CBS, whose 60 Minutes reporters Lowell Bergman mis-reported the death of Salem Bin Laden for Frontline while Dan Rather botched the Houston-based Ellington Field memo story of GWB's Texas Air National Guard career from a CIA-linked airport where GWB's former roommate, James R. Bath, owned the fuel concession and was business partner with the Saudi royal family's banker Khalid Bin Mahfouz.  Both Bath and Mahfouz were on the board of BCCI, the Bank of Commerce and Credit International....the Iran-Contra plot's primary money-laundering bank," said Pezonus who cited Fabian Colbachi's article on the role of Zelikow and the Rhodes brothers.
    "It was no accident that the Washington Post's Metro Editor, Vernon Loeb, author of the Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch stories that lied about the circumstance of Tillman's death and Lynch's rescue was Loeb's surreptitious work for building consent for war in Afghanistan and Iraq while he was also the co-author of Paula Broadwell's book All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, or that Loeb went to the Houston Chronicle to become the Managing Editor in a city where the corrupt medical examiners' office was investigated by the fire waller in the Iran-Contra Congressional investigation, Michael Bromwhich," said Pezonus.  "Goddamn it!  People have been totally bamboozled and don't seem to give a flip," said Pezonus a follower of U.S. historian Lowell P. Wigglesworth.
     Meanwhile, in 2004 citizen reporters captured celebrated CIA agent Robert Baer saying clearly that he knew the San Diego, California stock broker whose brother, working in the Bush White House, had told him to sell off his stocks just prior to 911. "The Corbett Report's James Corbett has that video at two minutes into his report on Baer, a 911 suspect," said Pezonus noting that Baer was never asked to explain his statement by Congress or the mainline media.  The fifth estate reporters had asked Baer to comment on the National Reconnaissance Office's questionable move to hold training games over New York on 911 that crippled NORAD and led to Scott Shuger's Slate.Com article IGNORAD.
    

American Foreign Policy In The Twilight Zone

As Trump Bombs Syria Ronald Reagan's Deputy Treasury Secretary, Hawaii's Representative Tulsi Gabbard and "Shock Jock" Michael Savage Join Alex Jones In Doubting U.S. Version of Gas Attack

by Rodney Jepurdy Meadows, CPW News Service


      In Rod Sterling's popular television series The Twilight Zone a bookish librarian hides in a vault so he can finish a novel uninterrupted.  He comes out of the vault to find that nuclear war has demolished the earth.   On April 9th five climbers in British Columbia stand together on a faulty ice ledge and plunge 1600' to their deaths.  According to Ronald Reagan's former Deputy Secretary of the Treasury and supporter of Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential election, Paul Craig Roberts, we are now rushing headlong toward nuclear annihilation and we are collectively standing on a precipice....all out thermo nuclear war with a captured President in the White House.  Paul Craig Roberts (The U.S. Stands Before the World As A Criminal Nation, April 10, 2017) is joined by outspoken and circumspect former U.S. military soldier in Iraq, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii who quit the Democratic National Committee when she became aware of the depths of corruption in the Clinton-led 2016 Presidential race.  CNN's Wolf Blitzer attempted to unhinge Gabbard for her skepticism concerning the Syrian incident.  She backed Bernie Sanders primarily because of his anti-war posture.  Enter Michael Savage.
     Michael Savage has joined the fray from what some believe is the fringe conspiracy theory elements of U.S. society.   Both Savage and Austin, Texas-based Info-Wars' Alex Jones are now claiming that the sarin gas attack in Syria was neither Assad's doing, nor sarin gas.  Savage who claims a background in epidemiology and health science believes that the agent was cholorine or phosgene based since sarin would have killed the majority of the first responders and didn't.  Sarin gas will stay in victims' clothing and release its deadly nerve agents for up to half-an-hour after a strike.
    Supporters of war with Syria include, according to Paul Craig Roberts, the NeoLiberals and the NeoCons....fringes of the former Conservative and Liberal elements of the U.S. body politic.  The NeoCons are the Bushites who under Paul Wolfowitz, Lawrence Summers, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Elliot Abrams and the Iran-Contra Republicans never saw a projection of U.S./World hegemony they didn't like.   These are the policy-coup leaders that General Wesley Clark said would create seven wars in the Middle East in as many years and are now the exact seven nations that are on President Donald Trump's no-fly list.....Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Iran,  Afghanistan.
    "Chapter 7: Trump's War Against the War Machine" is Savages' expose' in his latest book on Trump's coming resistance to the U.S. power elite military industrialist whores for which he is now pimping.  "Phosgene is a choking agent and not a nerve agent," said Savage.  "He thought by appeasing the warmongering crowd, the McCains, he could raise his poll numbers......I thought Trump was a man of peace and not a man of war.....boy, was I wrong....Bannon was out, Trump's son-in-law was in a there was an attack.....It was a false flag....now you know you're on the wrong side....It looks like Hillary won and Trump is now doing their bidding."
    According to independent investigative reporter, Peter Pezonus, Senator John McCain is a mountebank.  "Yes, he's a fraud.  A review of his military record will send any conscience-minded American to admit that just because a man was captured and spent time as a POW, does NOT automatically make him worthy of deciding U.S. military policy," said Pezonus.
    "How is this an American First decision.....no foreign wars?"  asked Savage.  "It is a good question," said Pezonus.
     "Look, on October 26, 1967 John McCain was shot down over Hanoi.  He had already crashed a plane into the Gulf of Mexico while in basic training.  He had already mishandled his ordinance on an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea that lead to shipmates' deaths.  I believe he demolished five USN aircraft....a statistical impossibility for the average pilot....they would have been drummed out of the service, but McCain is the son of a USN Admiral.  He got special consideration," said Pezonus.
    "On October 26, 1967 under the command of Commander Burton Hale Shepherd, a sortie bombed the power station for Hanoi, North Vietnam.  Twenty planes from the USS Oriskany flew to Hanoi with instruction to avoid SAM missiles, drop their ordinance without unnecessary heroics and to return to the carrier.  Shepherd's mission was a success with one exception.   They lost one pilot, the son of an Admiral.  Shepherd returned with his wing to the Oriskany, refueled and returned to Hanoi to provide cover for the downed John McCain.  For that Shepherd received the Navy Cross, but his commendation does not mention what was surely the prayer of a lifetime.....'Dear God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, our help in ages past, our hope of years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home, don't let my entire military career be tanked by the loss of Johnny 'Yee-Hah' McCain....that little shit!'
    Admiral Burton Hale Shepherd went on to become a Christian clergyman and he delivered the sermon for Admiral Elmo Zumwalt at Annapolis.  "Zumwalt was responsible for spraying Agent Orange over the entire Mekong Delta and his son died, Zumwalt believed, from the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, dying from lymphoma and Hodgkin's Disease at 42, a truth that Zumwalt said as a lawyer he could not emphatically prove, but irreversibly believed.  President Bill Clinton said at Zumwalt's funeral "Arleigh Burke has been called the 'spirit of the U.S. Navy', but 'Bud' Zumwalt was it's conscience,'.    Zumwalt lamented the use of Agent Orange all of his remaining life in the same way that iconic WWII US Marine, Chesty Puller, cried when his son stepped off a helicopter in Vietnam, tripped a landmine and blew both legs off and later committed suicide.  This moronic rush toward war mongering is a prescription for world-wide annihilation," said Pezonus.
    "Meanwhile, religion is used to justify the craziness.  In the U.S. we find the pulpits silent.  Franklin Graham whose family covers-over American misadventure under the shroud of Christianity finds no clearly articulated prophetic voices taking on the false prophets of their pseudo-religionists.  In cities like Houston where kiddos like Joel O'Steen and Ed Young, Jr. play religionists with their feel good oil-cartel supported bimbology.....while the legacy of Jesus, Peter, Stephen, Paul, Luther, Zwingli, Hus, Wycliffe, Knox, Calvin, Bonhoeffer, the Scholls, MLK and others go as limp as a dish rag.  On the other side of the line the Saudi royal family that controls the two high holy sites of Mecca and Medina plays Shia and Sunni traditions against each other not even making Trump's no fly list while they provided 15 of the 19  WTC hijackers....if we are to believe the totally unbelievable 911 Official Report of the U.S. government," said Pezonus.
   "It's time for a  10 million man/woman march on Washington.  You hear me?" asked Pezonus.  "We now need a 10 million man/woman march on Washington D.C. to demand the impeachment of Donald Trump.   We need not carry weapons, only ourselves and the number 1 on the front of our t-shirts and the number 2 on the back of our t-shirts.  Paul Craig Roberts, Tulsi Gabbard and Michael Savage should lead the walk to the capital.  Take it to the streets!"
   

NAVY TRAINER JETS GROUNDED BY OXYGEN ISSUE

MEMORIES of 1999 HYPOXIA OR POISON RISKS?

by Shirley Locke Holmes, CPW News Service

     With 40 percent of its T-45 jets from Meridian, Mississippi, Pensocola, Florida and Kingsville Texas grounded because of potential operational risks sights have turned to memories of tragic hypoxia incidents in and out of the military.
      With the Master's golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia opening with the memory of Arnold Palmer who in 1999 lost one of his leading golf course designers along with professional golfer Payne Stewart due to an oxygen issue on a Learjet headed from Orlando, Florida to Dallas, Texas, retired jet mechanic, Francois DeHavalond, from Toledo, Spain said "the U.S. Navy can't be too careful."
    "I remember when Payne Stewart was flying from Orlando to Dallas to meet with the builder of golf courses in Texas, Jeff Blackard, a close friend of the head of the University of Texas' privatized pension fund and partner with George Bush in the Texas Rangers, Tom Hicks, who has been pumping Texas University's money into an array of private defense contracting investments.  Anyway, the jet flew off course after reaching 39,000 feet and crashing in South Dakota.   NORAD scrambled jets to shadow the Learjet in a way that NORAD didn't do for the 911 hijacked planes, leading USN intelligence officer, Scott Shuger, to write his scathing Slate.com critique IGNORAD: THE MILITARY SCREW-UP NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT.  The Learjet had two well-trained pilots on Payne Stewart's flight, one with years of experience at the controls of military jets and they were both trained in identifying oxygen issues.  Killed everyone onboard," said DeHavalond.
     DeHavalond said he has followed Mr. Blackard's career since that 1999 event and is troubled by what he sees.  "Yea, the guy has paid for the legal defense of Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, who is under investigation for securities fraud," said DeHavalond. "My buddies from the U.S. are wondering if the Paxton character isn't like another Texas Attorney General, Dan Morales, who went to jail for trying to cut out a private piece of the multi-billion dollar Texas Tobacco Settlement that included all the big tobacco companies including R.J. Reynolds whose biggest stockholders were Gordon Gray and his son, C. Boyden Gray, the Bush family legal counsel.  I'm not sure that I would fly on a plane anywhere near Jeff Blackard, but that incident raises issues for everyone who assumes that they are safe, particularly our young pilots who are just getting their feet wet with identifying potential high-flying oxygen and other issues.  You can't live without clean air and oxygen free of poisoning." said DeHavalond who noted that Blackard was building a development near one of the concerned USN bases in Kingsville, Texas and that some of the local citizens had lodged complaints about the development with Blackard's attorney, John D. Bell, and others involved in the project.
     "When it comes to our military pilots they need the assurances that their equipment and the systems that support them are 100% reliable and that they are breathing in dependable, life sustaining mixtures of oxygen and air and not some weird pollutant," said DeHavalond who has also followed the career of Learjet executive turned founder of General Atomics Inc. that makes the Predator and Reaper drones, Linden Blue, former business partner in Nicaragua of murderous dictator, Anastasio Samoza and Yale fraternity brother of George Bush.
     "These kinds of problems are quickly building the case for unmanned craft that are much easier to fly under extreme conditions and carry none of the conflicting moral or ethical dilemmas facing human beings in combat or on clandestine assignments to fulfill a secret kill list," said DeHavalond a  co-founder of the Remember Bill Stewart in Nicaragua Society, named for ABC newsman, Bill Stewart who was murdered in 1979 by Samoza's National Guard.

WITH CHINESE LEADER XI AT MIRA LAGO MORONIC MASH ON HOME IMPROVEMENT ISLE

HOMEDEPOT, LOWES, THIS OLD HOUSE, HUNDREDS  OF REALITY HOME IMPROVEMENT TV SHOWS SPIN REAL AMERICAN RELIGION

by I. Farron Balenze, CPW News Services

      With a $20 trillion debt bomb ready to explode like Assad's nerve gas bombs dropped on a Syrian village (if it was Assad who dropped them and not a false flag event for building consent for war in Syria as part of the original NeoCon agenda outlined by NATO Commander Wesley Clark with U.S. wars in a seven nation list that now includes the exact 7 nations on Trump's no-fly list), Americans are, according to former Reagan White House Budget Director, David Stockman, getting ready to experience the blow back from the 2008 bailout, the 1980's S&L  bailouts and chronic, long-term runaway gut stuffing motivated by mindless acceptance of Madison Avenue and Wall Street,  Goldman Sachs hyper-hyped marketing of the American Dream.  "Get out of stocks now," said Stockman.  Stockman's assessment is shared by a number of notable world watchers including Frederick M. Mellon. 
      "As the exceptional nation America still believes that its people are deserving of a cool castle even if their sub-prime junk mortgages crashed and burned.  Okay, many of those dream homes have vanished with the 2008 sub-prime housing bubble kaboom, but people are still taking what little castles they still have and are worshipping at the alter of 'buy Chinese,'" said  Mellon.
      "Most people don't realize that while their manufacturing jobs were being shipped to China, India, Korea or Malaysia, that the 2000-2008 housing bubble masked the effects of the Clinton/Bush backed NAFTA job stripping era....the period of "a giant sucking sound" described by H.  Ross Perot in 1992.   If you were a Benzene Bubba turning the spigot on your refinery job or got laid off in your oil patch roughneck job, you likely picked up part-time work in the building trades with your little hammer and saw.  You learned to supplement your income by hanging Chinese ceiling fans for a mu-mu-clad hunk of housewife-secretary longing for the latest look in spinning fan blades or perhaps in Chinese-made aluminum can-lights installed for about $125 each into your living room or kitchen ceiling.  You depended on Madison Avenue's Mad Men to sell the most modern unnecessary junk to help keep the trash/masher spinning and running up your formerly meager mortgage payment with a nifty home-equity loan," said Mellon whose economic theories have been previously covered in Winsip Custer.
       According to Mellon the big banks raked in the cash from Paulson's 2008 bamboozle, the Federal Reserve shut down interest rates for retirees who have since been pulling from their dwindling savings for their rehabs using Chinese nic knacks at 19% from Lowes' or Home Depot.  In the case of the Miami General Employees and Sanitation Workers Pension Fund, they invested the money in the oil patch, raked it off for the highest paid executives in the U.S. whose headquarters are in tax-sheltered Bermuda. The banks took taxpayer's money, promised to help those with upside down mortgages or that could have funded Social Security and other hard earned benefits, but it was all by design.  Little Lucy homemaker/office worker saw Jimmy Stewart's It's A Wonderful Life so many times that she bought into George Bailey's line that "is it to much to ask for people to live and die in house....with a kitchen and bathroom?"  The answer then as now is "no", but when Mr. Potter who owned the lumber mills and everything else teamed up with Wall Street and Fredie Mack and Fannie Mae and the others like Countrywide and the junk-bundling big banks that failed to use time-honored investment analysis like the 90% of  Main Street local banks that were solvent in 2008, while the bubble was built on selling to Joe Sixpack a mansion based on bamboozled financials and the whole big bank barrel turned rancid and should have been dumped, but wasn't. Mr. Potter sent his manufacturing jobs to China and made another killing from the re-import of cheap corner molding and LED lights," said Mellon.
    "Meanwhile, you go to Lowes or Home Depot on Sunday morning, skipping church, or squeezing in a 6:00 a.m. Mass at the local Cathedral and spend the day shoveling bagged manure-mixed manganese-rich compost onto your under-watered garden hoping for some nifty petunias," said Mellon who loves growing watermelons.
    "Americans live in more than a housing bubble," said Mellon.  Take the fact that NASA has to buy its rocket engines from Russia to lift supplies into space.....the RD-180 engine that burns kerosene and LG, liquid oxygen.  Well, I hate to break the news, but if kerosene is the future of inter-galactic travel we're all having to stay here for a good while.  Better to lay it on with developing renewable energy and high efficiency life styles and with all those earthquakes the world is experiencing like in Cushing, Oklahoma that scientists have indicated are the result of frack slurry sliding earth, better start living in decreasing density structures," said Mellon.

     "Decreasing density structures?" Mellon was asked.

      "A tee-pee," he said smilingly.

Neil Gorsuch's Mother, Anne Burford Gorsuch, Wore Combat Boots And Suckled Her Son on Lead Paint?

GRASSLEY PRAISES AS FEINSTEIN TROUNCES KOCH BROTHER'S SUPPORT OF GORSUCH'S NOMINATION

by  Farouche N. Souchiant , CPW News Service

     Anne Irene McGill Burford Gorsuch, born in Casper, Wyoming was Ronald Reagan's EPA Director.  Like Trump's EPA Director, Neil Gorsuch's mother didn't like the Environmental Protection Agency which she sought to dismantle.  She was held in contempt of Congress for failing to testify on issues before the nation...mishandling the $1.6 billion Superfund.  Beyond that she relaxed air quality standards, spraying of restricted pesticides and purposely overlooking EPA regulations to limit lead in gasoline.  European scientists had seen the dangers in lead decades before the U.S. outlawing lead in paint in Europe in 1922.
     There is a history with gasoline, cars and lead that informs Anne Gorsuch's political positions.  General Motors created an "anti-knock" additive called tetraethyl lead additive, TEL for short, assuring the public that there were no environmental issues.  At Standard Oil of New Jersey's Bayway, New Jersey plant workers at the "Looney Gas" building mixed the additive.....thus showing the marriage between the automotive, gasoline and lead industries and how they lubricated each other's core businesses while giving credence to Ralph Nader's future assertion that automobiles are "unsafe at any speed".....even idling in neutral.
     Debra Blum of Wired.com ("Looney Gas and Lead Poisoning: A Short Sad History," Jan. 5, 2013) wrote "In October of 1924 workers in the TEL building began collapsing, going into convulsions, babbling deliriously. By the end  of September 32 of 49 TEL workers were in the hospital; five of them were dead."
    Anne Burford Gorsuch was married to Bob Burford, the head of the Bureau of Land Management that deals with oil and mineral rights under public lands of which the Koch Brother have been beneficiaries....even leading within the bitter Koch brother's battle over control of Koch Industries Inc. to charges that the family defrauded the government on the mineral concessions.
   "Is it any wonder that the Koch brothers are pumping up the endorsement of Trump's Gorsuch nomination to the Supreme Court?" asked Kelly Smithers of Eugene, Oregon.  "I was down in Texas back in 1999 when Koch Industries was under fire for illegal benzene releases at 15 times the national allowable level.  A 100 count indictment and a $320 million dollar fine evaporated with the 2000 election of George W. Bush who would have loved Anne Gorsuch for his later administration.  After 2000 Koch's penalty turned into a 1 count indictment and a $20 million fine." said Smithers.
   "The myth of American modernity is exactly that," said Smithers pointing to the Winsip Custer article "The House In The Middle Should Have Been The House on the End," that explores the U.S. military industrial/security complex's illogical love affair with lead.
   "It's a lot worse than people know," said Ivana Driver who has shown the clear connection between the marketing of lead in paint to the author of  the 2001 Slate.com article, IGNORAD, Scott Shuger, through his family's Baltimore, Maryland paint manufacturing business..
