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.


“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.


The Iran-Contra Scandal, the Killing of Judge Vance and the Don Siegelman Case

The vic­tim of a GOP polit­i­cal frame-up cour­tesy of Karl Rove and com­pany, for­mer Alabama gov­er­nor Don Siegelman’s legal trou­bles actu­ally had their gen­e­sis with the cover-up of the Iran-Contra scan­dal and the Chris­tic Institute’s suit against some of the con­spir­a­tors. Accord­ing to Way Mad­sen Report and the Leg­tal Schnau­zer blog, Siegel­man began inves­ti­gat­ing some of the intel­li­gence community’s drug and arms smug­gling air­lines in the early 1980’s while serv­ing as Alabama Attor­ney Gen­eral. A cur­rent fed­eral fed­eral judge, Mark Fuller, was allegedly hired to keep the lid on the oper­a­tion.
Cen­tral to this analy­sis is the mail-bomb assas­si­na­tion of Judge Robert Vance, Siegelman’s for­mer law partner.


Cannonshot: More about “The VerMITTler” and His Offshore Accounts

Like so many “off­shore enti­ties,” Mitt Romney’s Bain Cap­i­tal may well have served as a vehi­cle for money laun­der­ing. Orig­i­nal investors include promi­nent back­ers of the El Sal­vadorean death squad oper­a­tions in the 1980’s.


“Austerity” Equals Fascism, Part I: The Republicans are Nazis

Descended from political/economic inter­ests that sup­ported Hitler, tried to over­throw Franklin Roo­sevelt and did kill JFK, the GOP man­i­fests the her­itage of decades of covert oper­a­tions that brought Third Reich vet­er­ans into the Amer­i­can polit­i­cal main­stream. The upcom­ing elec­tion may deter­mine the fate of our civilization.


RIP Charles Higham

Charles Higham, author of impor­tant exposés about fas­cism, has passed. His work high­lighted Nazi Fifth colum­nists in the west, includ­ing Amer­i­can indus­tri­al­ists and financiers and the 1934 coup attempt against FDR.


Blast from the Past: Reagan, George H.W. Bush Administrations Aided Secret Japanese Nuclear Weapons Program

Rea­gan, Bush I admin­is­tra­tions secretly armed Japan with weapons-grade plu­to­nium. Space explo­ration projects a cover for Japan­ese nuclear arms devel­op­ment. How far do these ten­ta­cles reach?

S and P Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating: “Hail Victory” for the SS Kampfgruppe Norquist

Bush allies McGraw fam­ily own S & P. Firm’s down­grade of U.S. debt music to GOP ears, real­iz­ing their goals. Goal of Bush debt poli­cies was the cre­ation of the fis­cal cri­sis, jus­ti­fy­ing elim­i­na­tion of New Deal.
