FTR #743 Interview (#8) with Russ Baker, Author of “Family of Secrets”

The Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column–the media that should inform us deceive on behalf of those they should expose; Insti­tu­tion­al­ized power dimin­ishes the pub­lic­ity for “Fam­ily of Secrets.” The Inter­net allows cit­i­zens to fight back.

Nazi/Anti-Semite Joran Jermas (aka “Israel Shamir”) Involved in Establishment of WikiLeaks

COMMENT: For some time, we’ve noted the Nazi, fas­cist and anti-Semitic ele­ments asso­ci­ated with Wik­iLeaks. In the For The Record dis­cus­sions of Carl Lund­strom (the financier who has largely under­writ­ten Pirate Bay, inex­tri­ca­bly linked with Wik­iLeaks), we have noted his par­tic­i­pa­tion in the same Swedish fas­cist milieu as Joran Jer­mas (“aka Israel Shamir”).
The assumption [...]

More (alleged) Confirmation of Environmental Warfare Capabilities of HAARP, Similar Systems

Caveat: Upon fur­ther inves­ti­ga­tion, the author of this paper (not peer-reviewed) has posted and writ­ten exten­sively of “fringe physics” con­sid­er­a­tions that may well be off base.
Haste maketh waste. Apologies–D.E. (This does not NECESSARILY pre­clude the truth of the allegations.)

COMMENT: A dili­gent lis­tener has for­warded a recent (2011) paper by a Brazil­ian physi­cist that strongly reinforces [...]

More Information on Major Bashinsky’s “non Suicide”

COMMENT: Fol­low­ing up on FTR #742, the inci­sive blog Legal Schnau­zer has set forth still more evi­dence that Major Bashin­sky did NOT kill him­self. In addi­tion to the intelligence-insulting descrip­tion of the cir­cum­stances of Bashinsky’s death, it now turns out the World War II era pis­tol with which Major allegedly killed him­self is a [...]

FTR #742 Body Count (Sweet Home Alabama)

An appar­ent turkey shoot under­way in Alabama, with peo­ple who could spill the beans on Karl Rove’s oper­a­tions there “com­mit­ting sui­cide” in record num­bers; was the wife of Obma’s liai­son to the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives mur­dered, the same week­end that Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Gabrielle Gif­fords was shot?

IMF Chief Strauss-Kahn Feared an Opponent Would Pay $1 Million For Rape Allegation

COMMENT: Dominique Strauss-Kahn feared that an oppo­nent would pay $ 1 mil­lion to a woman to claim that he tried to rape her. Whether his alle­ga­tions are sub­stan­tive or not, his fears have, to an extent, been played out.
Note that, in addi­tion to the fact that he called for a world cur­rency in [...]

In Your Facebook, Part 2

COMMENT: In FTR #718, we noted the intel­li­gence com­mu­nity and right-wing ide­o­logues inex­tri­ca­bly linked to the wildly pop­u­lar Face­book social net­work­ing site.
Here’s the lat­est “oops” dis­clo­sure from the Face­book folks.  Appar­ently, a bug has been giv­ing ~100,000 Face­book apps the abil­ity to read pri­vate info and even post mes­sage from pri­vate user accounts.  This has apparently [...]

Sirhan Sirhan and the “Girl in the Polka-Dot Dress”

COMMENT: Any­one famil­iar with the facts of Robert F. Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion knows that the offi­cial ver­sion of Sirhan Sirhan as a “lone nut” assas­sin is unten­able. (Lis­ten­ers are invited to exam­ine AFA #9, detail­ing RFK’s mur­der, as well as FTR #582, sup­ple­ment­ing that analy­sis.)
Inves­ti­ga­tors have long believed that Sirhan was a vic­tim of mind control, [...]

FTR #740 Update on the Meltdown Part 6: The Wachovia File

Wachovia deeply involved with laun­der­ing money for Sinaloa car­tel; firm’s exec­u­tives com­plicit with cover-up; World’s major finan­cial insti­tu­tions depen­dent on drug car­tels for liq­uid­ity? Drug smug­glers may have bailed out those insti­tu­tions fol­low­ing crash of ’08.

Confirmation of U.S. Support for Egyptian, Mideast Uprisings

COMMENT: A recent New York Times arti­cle pro­vides fur­ther evi­dence of U.S. sup­port for what we have termed “Piggy-Back Coup.
A bullet-point syn­op­sis of this com­plex inves­ti­ga­tion is available.

“U.S. Groups Helped Nur­ture Arab Upris­ings” by Ron Nixon; The New York Times; 4/14/2011.
EXCERPT: Even as the United States poured bil­lions of dol­lars into for­eign mil­i­tary programs [...]
