VERY Curious George: George Plimpton, the Paris Review, the CIA and the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy
In a past post, we noted the profound relationship between the prestigious “progressive” literary periodical The Paris Review and the CIA. The editor of the Paris Review was the late George Plimpton, who was at Robert F. Kennedy’s side on the evening of his assassination. We are told that he disarmed the attacker, presumably the patsy for the killing, Sirhan Sirhan.
Benghazi, David Petraeus, Michael J. Morell and the Destabilization of the Obama Administration
Long predicted in these quarters, the destabilization of the Obama administration is in full swing. With the GOP charging that the Obama administration was covering-up warnings about terrorism in Libya, it now emerges that it was now-acting CIA director Michael J. Morell who deleted the references, in opposition to the now-deposed David Petraeus.
He’s BAAAAACK! Gerald Posner’s Latest Gig
Like Count Dracula, Gerald Posner keeps coming back. Having led the media charges to discredit Warren Commission critics, critics of the official version of Martin Luther King’s assassination and Ladislas Farago’s research on Martin Bormann’s presence in Latin America, Posner is now defending Afghan president Karzai’s brother against credible charges that he has been on the CIA’s payroll, while participatring significantly in the Afghan heroin trade.
Billie Sol Estes Checks Out; Rest in Peace, Gaeton Fonzi
Mr. Emory’s political odyssey began with investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy. We note the passing of two people who link to the milieu surrounding the investigation. Gaeton Fonzi was a dogged investigator for the House Select Committee on Assassinations. One of many crooked associates of LBJ, Billie Sol Estes was the focal point of some very “interesting” investigations himself.
Was the Relationship between Brian Glyn Williams and Dzokhar Tsarnaev more than Just Student and “Tutor”?
In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, we’ve highlighted the unraveling of the “two lone nuts” theory of that tragic event.In this context, we note that younger brother Dzokhar Tsarnaev’s high school mentor has a background in the CIA and also teaches Islamic studies at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, which Dzokhar attended.
‘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.
Old Home(land Security) Week in Boston: “Fee, Fi . . . Ho Hum” (Part 2)
The Boston bombing suspects’ uncle turns out to have been married to the daughter of a key CIA officer. That officer, Graham E. Fuller, was a key advocate of a U.S. alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood. Fuller has also run interference for the insidious Fetullah Gulen cult.
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.
The Enigmatic Sven Olaf Kamphuis and the “Cyber-Wandervogel”
The investigation into a recent cyberattack has highlighted an eccentric, brilliant programmer named Sven Olaf Kamphuis, a citizen of the Netherlands. Kamphuis emphatically denies that he was in any way involved in the attacks and no charges have been filed. What interests us are some aspects of Mr. Kamphuis’s outlook that suggest the possibility that he might be what we have termed “Cyber-Wandervogel.”
Brave New World: Virtual Panopticon as “The New ‘Normal’ ”
In FTR #718, we examined the spectacularly popular Facebook/social media phenomenon. Behind all of the “glad-handing” surrounding the social network are some truly insidious forces. Much of the capitalization for the network comes from forces apparently linked to the Underground Reich and the intelligence community is all over Facebook and the rest of the high-tech world. It appears that, increasingly, anyone who does not wish to be part of this “virtual panopticon” and have their data appropriately mined will be viewed with suspicion and stigmatized professionally.
