‘Roid Rage: The Bosches, the Bushes and Sports Doping

The Bush fam­ily has been very, very close to the anti-Castro Cuban exile com­mu­nity for decades, includ­ing and espe­cially the late Orlando Bosch, head of the CORU orga­ni­za­tion. Now, it emerges that a rel­a­tive of Orlando Bosch heads the Bio­gen­e­sis firm, under inves­ti­ga­tion for allegedly pro­vid­ing performance-enhancing drugs to pro­fes­sional athletes.


Graham Fuller Helped Start the Iran-Contra Affair

“Ex” CIA offi­cer Gra­ham E. Fuller gets around. The for­mer father-in-law of the Boston Marathon bombers was a key advo­cate of the U.S. “turn to the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood,” as well as a defender of the Fetul­lah Gulen orga­ni­za­tion against charges of involve­ment with the CIA. Now, it emerges that he was piv­otal in set­ting in motion the machi­na­tions that have become known as the Iran-Contra scandal.


Reagan’s Nazis

After the death of Mar­garet Thatcher, Amer­i­cans are being treated to hagiogra­phies of her polit­i­cal ally Ronald Rea­gan. Reagan’s admin­is­tra­tion was a front for the Under­ground Reich, incor­po­rat­ing the GOP Nazi “eth­nics” who had been imported into the US fol­low­ing World War II. Rea­gan, him­self, had a long his­tory of asso­ci­a­tion with unsa­vory ele­ments, includ­ing orga­nized crime.


Divine Laissez Faire: Comparing the Theocratic Free Market Philosophies of the Muslim Brotherhood and The Family

“Free Mar­ket” prin­ci­ples are man­i­fest­ing behind fun­da­men­tal­ist reli­gious cover. The Chris­t­ian fun­da­men­tal­ist group The Fam­ily wields pro­found influ­ence in Wash­ing­ton, behind an ide­ol­ogy that sees laissez-faire eco­nom­ics as “God’s will.” The Mus­lim Brotherhood’s Islamism also views free-market prin­ci­ples as “Divine” in origin.


Strange Twist in the Clements Murder Case

The chief sus­pect in the mur­der of Col­orado Cor­rec­tions chief Tom Clements was affil­i­ated with white-supremacist prison gangs, accord­ing to author­i­ties. Now comes the news that the suspect’s father was close friends with and a cam­paign con­trib­u­tor to, the gov­er­nor of Col­orado.


Grover Norquist Strikes Again!

Ear­lier this month, the Tea Party/GOP Right demon­strated their hypocrisy, as well as the degree of sol­i­dar­ity between the Islamic fas­cists of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood and the GOP. The Jihad Watch web­site received the “People’s Choice Award” at the 2013 Con­ser­v­a­tive Polit­i­cal Action Com­mit­tee. The award­ing of the honor was blocked, how­ever by the Tea Party Repub­li­cans, who would only con­sent to give the award if the admin­is­tra­tors of the site would agree not to crit­i­cize Grover Norquist.


Rudi Dekkers Enters a Sealed Plea: May Never Go to Trial

For years, we’ve cov­ered the heroic, lonely research done by Daniel Hop­sicker on the 9/11-related flight schools in South­ern Florida. One of the prin­ci­pals in the intelligence-community-controlled drug traf­fick­ing milieu through which Mohamed Atta and asso­ciates infil­trated the United States was recently arrested in Hous­ton for drug smug­gling. Dekkers has entered a seal plea agree­ment, which will likely mute any pub­lic dis­clo­sure of the find­ings in the case.


“It’s Easier to Develop a Child than to Rehabilitate an Adult,” Part 2

The Jerry Sandusky/Penn State child molesta­tion case appears to have polit­i­cal impli­ca­tions beyond what has come to light so far. Endorsed by the elder George Bush, the Sec­ond Mile Foun­da­tion served as the vehi­cle for sys­tem­atic molesta­tion of young boys. The late Joe Paterno’s choice of coun­sel is sig­nif­i­cant. He chose J. Sedg­wick Sollers, who once rep­re­sented George H.W. Bush in the Iran-Contra affair. A cover-up may involve mur­der. After inves­ti­gat­ing San­dusky et al, the late Ray Gricar dis­ap­peared from the face of the earth–his body has never been found.


Falling to Earth: September 11th Flight School Operator Rudi Dekkers Arrested for Drug Trafficking

Long able to escape legal ret­ri­bu­tion for his actions, Huff­man Avi­a­tion oper­a­tor Rudi Dekkers appears to have run out of luck. The Dutch/German pilot who ran the flight school through which 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta and his Ger­man and Aus­trian asso­ciates infil­trated the United States has been arrested in Hous­ton for drug traf­fick­ing. It remains to be seen what comes of this inves­ti­ga­tion, but the impli­ca­tions are poten­tially staggering.


Reflections on the Petraeus Affair

As was the case with Bill Clin­ton, no sooner does Obama win reelec­tion than his admin­is­tra­tion is involved in an expand­ing sex scan­dal, which may well under­mine his Mid­dle East­ern pol­icy, as well as hand­ing polit­i­cal to the GOP. Replac­ing David Petraeus–temporarily and per­haps permanently–is Michael J. Morell, who briefed George W.Bush on intel­li­gence mat­ters. Morell was with Bush on the morn­ing of 9/11.
