Update on the Death of Alberto Nisman

We have high­light­ed inves­tiga­tive path­ways in the AMIA bomb­ing in–among oth­er programs–FTR #835. Pros­e­cu­tor Alber­to Nis­man­’s inves­ti­ga­tion was cut short by his alleged sui­cide. Now, his death has been demon­strat­ed to have been a mur­der. Among the ele­ments loom­ing in the inves­ti­ga­tion is the Nazi dias­po­ra in Argenti­na (chron­i­cled in the files of the AMIA build­ing) and a trove of Third Reich arti­fi­acts being inves­ti­gat­ed by Nis­man­’s wid­ow, Judge San­dra Arroyo Sal­ga­do.

Andreas Strassmeier, “John Doe #2” and the Underground Reich: Observations on the 20th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing

As is the case with so much of recent Amer­i­can his­to­ry, the offi­cial ver­sion of the Okla­homa City bomb­ing obscures the fact that there was much more to this event than we have been told. Of par­tic­u­lar inter­est is the tes­ti­mo­ny of ATF under­cov­er infor­mant Car­ol Howe that Andreas Strass­meier, the son of Ger­man Chan­cel­lor Hel­mut Kohl’s chief of staff Gun­ther Strass­meier, was the mas­ter­mind of the bomb­ing and that Tim­o­thy McVeigh was his pro­tege. Howe passed a poly­graph test on her tes­ti­mo­ny. Strass­meier bears a strong resem­blance to the com­pos­ite sketch­es of John Doe #2, seen by eye­wit­ness­es in the com­pa­ny of McVeigh pri­or to the bomb­ing. Strass­meier and John Doe #2 are pic­tured at right.

AMIA Chronicle: Nisman Dies, Kirchener Walks

As set forth in in FTR #‘s 835 and 836, the “inves­ti­ga­tion” into the 1994 AMIA bomb­ing in Argenti­na touch­es on a num­ber of very sen­si­tive areas. We were skep­ti­cal that the sus­pi­cious death of pros­e­cu­tor Alber­to Nis­man would pro­duce any defin­i­tive changes in the way the case was han­dled. Now, fol­low­ing Nis­man­’s death, the crim­i­nal com­plaint draft­ed by him against pres­i­dent Cristi­na Fer­nan­dez de Kirch­n­er has been dis­missed as not being “min­i­mal­ly” cred­i­ble.

FTR #836 The Death of Alberto Nisman and the AMIA Bombing

After recap­ping some threads in the tan­gled web of the 1994 AMIA bomb­ing in Argenti­na, this pro­gram takes up the sus­pi­cious death of Argen­tine pros­e­cu­tor Alber­to Nis­man, who was found dead from a sin­gle gun­shot wound to the head the week­end before he was to tes­ti­fy before that coun­try’s con­gress about the bomb­ing. Nis­man was report­ed­ly going to indict Argen­tine pres­i­dent Kirch­n­er in con­nec­tion with a cov­er-up of the bomb­ing, alleged­ly stem­ming from a “grain-for-oil” deal with Iran. Nis­man had pre­vi­ous­ly expressed fear for his own life and for the safe­ty of his two young daugh­ters. In addi­tion to the pres­ence of the DNA of a sec­ond per­son in Nis­man­’s apart­ment, the pro­gram cov­ers: Nis­man­’s fear of his own body­guards; appar­ent irreg­u­lar­i­ties in the han­dling of the phys­i­cal evi­dence in the case; pres­i­dent Kirch­n­er’s attack on Nis­man and her char­ac­ter­i­za­tion of his death as a “sui­cide;” a female wit­ness in the case express­ing fear for her life after the charred body of anoth­er woman was found across the street from Kirch­n­er’s apart­ment; irreg­u­lar­i­ties in the state­ments of Nis­man­’s secu­ri­ty per­son­nel.


FTR #835 Tangled Web: Overview of the AMIA Bombing Investigation

In this pro­gram, we detail some of the deep pol­i­tics sur­round­ing the AMIA attack, prepara­to­ry to a dis­cus­sion of devel­op­ments in the inves­ti­ga­tion of Argen­tine pros­e­cu­tor Alber­to Nis­man­’s death in FTR #836. The dizzy­ing melange of indi­vid­u­als, insti­tu­tions and events con­nect­ed to the AMIA bomb­ing involves: sev­er­al peo­ple linked to for­mer Argen­tin­ian pres­i­dent Car­los Men­em; indi­vid­u­als linked to the Iran-Con­tra scan­dal; neo-Nazi ele­ments in Argenti­na; inves­ti­ga­tions into fugi­tive Nazi war crim­i­nals; the res­ig­na­tions of two jus­tice min­is­ters involved in the AMIA inves­ti­ga­tion; the sus­pi­cious deaths of numer­ous indi­vid­u­als linked to one or anoth­er of the ele­ments fig­ur­ing in sev­er­al relat­ed inves­ti­ga­tions; evi­den­tiary trib­u­taries link­ing the AMIA bomb­ing to the Okla­homa City Bomb­ing, the bomb­ing of Pan Am flight 103 over Locker­bie, Scot­land and the Achille Lau­ro hijack­ing in 1985.


A Lie Can Run a Marathon Before the Truth Can Put Its Running Shoes on: (“Truther” Consequences)

The news cycle in this coun­try is dom­i­nat­ed by cov­er­age of the Boston bomb­ings. This is pre­dictable. So is the ten­den­cy toward sim­plis­tic and/or one-dimen­sion­al analy­sis. Gen­er­al­ly, we’re hear­ing: It was the “gov­ern­ment,” “home-grown domes­tic (i.e. right-wing, Aryan types) ter­ror­ists,” or “Islam­ic ter­ror­ists.” As this post indi­cates, the divi­sions among these are not near­ly so sim­ple.


Update on Killing of Legal Professionals and White Supremacist Prison Syndicates

A num­ber of strange devel­op­ments mount con­cern­ing the killings of legal pro­fes­sion­als inves­ti­gat­ing white suprema­cist prison gangs. Alleged Tom Clements killer Evan Ebel was released by mis­take, after his elec­tron­ic mon­i­tor mal­func­tioned. Are these killings part of a broad­er cam­paign of Nazi vio­lence, a la “The Turn­er Diaries?”
