Droning On: Interesting Timing in the Middle East

COMMENT: The appar­ent cap­ture and down­ing by Iran of a U.S. drone air­craft raises a num­ber of inter­est­ing ques­tions.
If the account pre­sented in “Debka” can be believed, the pos­si­bil­ity of some sort of “inside job” is one to be care­fully con­sid­ered. (“Debka” is an intel­li­gence newslet­ter spe­cial­iz­ing in Mid­dle East­ern and Israeli national security [...]

Sirhan Sirhan’s Lawyers Moving to Reopen the Case

COMMENT: Attor­neys for Sirhan Sirhan have moved to reopen his case, con­tend­ing (among other things) that a bul­let was switched at his trial, inval­i­dat­ing his con­vic­tion.
Ear­lier this year, Sirhan’s defense team rein­forced the “girl in the polka-dot dress” anec­do­tal infor­ma­tion fol­low­ing a hyp­no­sis ses­sion with their client.
Any­one famil­iar with the [...]

McGraw Family (Owners of S & P) are Longtime Intimates of the Bush Family

COMMENT: Stan­dard and Poor’s is owned by pub­lish­ing giant McGraw-Hill. In the wake of S & P’s down­grade of U.S. bonds’ rat­ing from AAA (for the first time in his­tory), it comes as no great sur­prise that the McGraw fam­ily are long time asso­ciates of the “Fam­ily of Secrets.”
This multi-generational asso­ci­a­tion goes back [...]

Echoes of 11/22/63; 9/11/2001

COMMENT: A mys­tery bil­lion­aire (indi­vid­ual or insti­tu­tion) appears to have placed a $1 Bil­lion bet that the U.S. will lose its AAA rat­ing.
Note that, among the pos­si­ble exe­cu­tion­ers of this deal is PIMCO, the bond-trading sub­sidiary of Allianz, the giant Ger­man insurer which, like all Ger­man core cor­po­ra­tions, is part of the con­sum­mately pow­er­ful, deadly [...]

Plane Speaking in D.C.

COMMENT: With the bud­get talks com­ing down to the wire and grow­ing [pre­dictably] more acri­mo­nious, it is worth not­ing the num­ber of small planes that have intruded into Camp David air space–5 in one month. All appar­ently did so while Obama was at the retreat.
This is rem­i­nis­cent of a num­ber of “high, hard ones”–a [...]

18 1/2 Minute Gap in Watergate Tape to Remain Mystery

COMMENT: It turns out that the high-tech efforts by inves­ti­ga­tors to restore the mate­r­ial lost in an 18 1/2 minute gap in one of Nixon’s Water­gate tapes have failed. We will never know, for sure, what was in that sec­tion of tape.
One of the cen­tral con­sid­er­a­tions in ana­lyz­ing Water­gate is the assas­si­na­tion of Pres­i­dent Kennedy–what [...]

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.

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?

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, [...]

Economic “Terrorism” Contributed to/or Caused Crash of ’08?

COMMENT: A Pen­ta­gon report on the eco­nomic crash of ’08 cites the pos­si­bil­ity of eco­nomic ter­ror­ism as a con­tribut­ing cause to the melt­down of ’08. (The report does come from the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church-owned Wash­ing­ton Times, so spin must be fac­tored into the analy­sis in this par­tic­u­lar arti­cle.)
Cit­ing pos­si­ble cul­prits, the report (or the article’s reportage [...]
