Now, imagine finding out who and what your father really is 44 years later, pretty fucked up if you ask me, truthfully, it fucks with my head, and all I want to do is keep it real.

Hey, isn't 'Cuba Libre' a coke, rum & lime drink, señor? Maybe they just, you know………... were thirsty.

In 1961 Edwin Kaiser stole weapons from the U.S. Army in Alaska, all but two of the weapons were recovered, two, M-2 Carbines. According to some individuals I've spoken to, it was these weapons which have since been believed to be used in the assassination of president Kennedy. Edwin Kaiser, by his own admission said he wanted to kill someone, while in Alaska he told someone he knew not to go out to a field or follow the tracks that leads there, this person informed the FBI that in that field is where Kaiser hid a carcass. According to him, Kaiser [may] have illegally killed a moose and hid it there. If there was no investigation, how would they know it wasn't a body laying in the field? Could Kaiser have gotten away with murder?

Gordon DiBattisto was a member of the Cubanos Unidos and an associate of Navarro, Kaiser and Sturgis. Here is part of his story. [FONT=&amp]

THE PALM BEACH POST SUNDAY, JUNE 9, 1991 11 A Lake Worth resident says he was adviser to pope M can assure you that this man in no way acts in behalf of the Apostolic See.' A Tale Of Looted Treasure From The Orient A Lake Worth man claims Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos stole $162 million worth of gold that some say may be linked to the Japanese Army's conquest of Southeast Asia in World War II. , Gordon DiBattisto: ' The 70-year-old Lake Worth man, convicted of grand theft in 1985, has sued Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, Adnan Khashoggi and an investment banking firm, claiming they transported $162 million in gold from an estate he represents. DiBattisto, who says he was once a financial adviser to Pope John Paul II, lives in a suburban Lake Worth mobile home. He declined to be photographed. The Vatican and Pope: 0 'DiBattisto introduced two kGold Bars: 'DiBattisto says the Marcoses fled the Indiana farmers to the pope and other bishops in 1981 , prompting one of the farmers to say DiBattisto 'walked around like he was the mayor of the Vatican.

DiBattisto says he has since traced the gold bars to Switzerland. ri t'wy ussr , rv5 " Hawaiian Amerkj2y 'XUi3Kw rn rCfSTS Islands 1 frtCT - - - fiflTs ft. Q T VT. Pacific Ocean 4 A Ocean Xi South'") N '" v J ' Yamashlta TREASUREfrom 1A the army that sacked Singapore and its gold reserves in February 1942 and was sent to defend the Philippines in 1944. Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the time called the loss of Singapore "the worst disaster and largest capitulation of British history." In his 1988 history The Marcos Dynasty, author Sterling Seagrave says that by late 1943, with the Japanese on the defensive, the accumulated wealth of gold was ordered hidden. British, Australian, American and Filipino prisoners of war dug the gold-lined caves, only to be buried alive when they were sealed with concrete. . Elaborate booby traps were set up in the jungles to protect the secret hoard. Ferdinand Marcos, then a Filipino army lieutenant, may have learned of the existence of the gold when he encountered a Japanese patrol transporting bullion in spring 1945, according to Seagrave's history. - If it really ever existed, and legal experts and military historians believe it did, a huge part of the Yamashita's gold valued at $600 billion 20 years ago may have been uncovered by Filipino Roger Roxas in 1971 near Baguio on the island of Luzon. Ferdinand Marcos stole that treasure after torturing Roxas for his information, according to a lawsuit Roxas filed in U.S. District Court in New York. If that is true, it would help to explain the millions in secret bank accounts around the world discovered since Marcos was deposed in 1986. Roxas claims in the suit that the gold was converted into real estate in New York, Honolulu and Rome, and hidden in shell corporations. On April 10, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit overturned a lower court's dismissal of the case, but it may be years before Roxas' suit goes to trial. In reinstating the lawsuit, the appeals court noted that Yamashita's last headquarters before he surrendered to U.S. forces was at Baguio. ' DiBattisto says in his suit that he is the special appointed administrator of the estate of millionaire Severino Sta Romana, who came into possession of 111 gold bars at the end of World War II. Books on Philippine history, a computer search of national publications and interviews with Philippine consular officials yielded no information on Romana. DiBattisto's lawsuit, which he is handling without a lawyer, has been stayed by U.S. District Judge Norman C. Roettger Jr. in Fort Lauderdale because a fourth defendant, the investment banking firm Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc., is undergoing reorganization in bankruptcy court. DiBattisto has a claim for the $162 million on file in the Drexel bankruptcy in New York, according to court documents. Traced gold bars to Switzerland - He contacted a reporter in May after Roettger refused to order the other three defendants to pay the claim. During the first of several conversations, DiBattisto said he had traced the 111 gold bars to Switzerland. - A few weeks later, he said he would comment no further. "If your paper's willing to spend some money for this information," he said, "then I'll tell them a real story." Nonetheless, something of DiBattisto's story can be , found in public documents, transcripts and interviews with people who say they have known him since he was an infantryman in the war. : "News accounts from his hometown newspaper in Rochester, N.Y., called him a financier in 1967 when he appeared before its City Council. Dade County prosecutors called him a thief in 1984. In a lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court in 1987, DiBattisto described himself. - "I am an innocent and honrable (sic) man known arround (sic) the world by leaders & many popes in city state Vaticano, Europa," he wrote. Investigative files in the Dade County State Attorney's Office and people who are acquainted with DiBattisto say he travels on a Vatican passport and is well connected with the church hierarchy here and abroad. - But the Rev. Timothy M. Dolan, a spokesman for the Vatican Embassy in Washington, said DiBattisto does not have special influence with the pope. ' "The individual about whom you asked has made questionable claims about contacts with the Holy See," said Dolan, using another term for the Vatican. Dolan also quoted a 1990 letter from Archbishop Pio Laghi, the former papal nuncio, that "as the personal representative of the Holy Father in the U.S., I can assure you that this man in no way acts in behalf of the Apostolic See." ... Much of DiBattisto's history is laid out in thousands of pages in files connected to his arrest on grand theft charges in 1984. The files contain a June 1972 story and picture in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano describing him as an anti-pornography crusader. Sold widow's house and kept money 1 , A Dade County jury found DiBattisto guilty of grand theft in 1985. He was accused of using his power of attorney to sell an 89-year-old blind widow's house to a Chinese smuggler then on probation. DiBattisto received the money from the sale and deposited $55,016 in his bank account instead of giving it to the woman, according to court records. The house that she had owned free and clear later was deeded back to the woman with a $65,425 mortgage. When she couldn't pay it and the bank foreclosed, she was evicted. Reno. Five months after it was filed, DiBattisto asked for the suit to be dismissed, according to court documents. Before DiBattisto was released from probation, state Department of Corrections probation officer JoAnn Leznoff sought to have him sent to jail for violating its terms. "His failure to report and his extensive (and for the most part unexplained) . . . international travel makes it difficult if not impossible to supervise andor monitor subject's activities," she wrote. "As subject is unemployed, his business-related travel is questionable," she added. There is no question that DiBattisto is a world traveler. A Lake Worth travel agent acknowledged booking trips for DiBattisto but would not talk about them. A Miami travel agent told Dade County investigators he handled international telexed messages sent to his office for DiBattisto, records show. : , Promised to sell alfalfa in Italy One trip took DiBattisto to a Remington, Ind., farmers meeting in November 1981, according to files in the Dade County State Attorney's Office. At the meeting, DiBattisto made a presentation about selling alfalfa pellets in Italy. Two couples gave him checks for $1,000. One later told investigators that "that was the last they heard from him," according to the files. DiBattisto did get to Italy. During a trip to Rome, he illustrated what his traveling companions believed was his clout inside the Vatican. '- "The mazing thing about Gordon was his friendship with the pope," said Roy Schenk, a Vincennes, Ind., farmer who traveled with DiBattisto in 1981 and later told investigators he believed he had been misled in financing the $12,000 trip. DiBattisto told Schenk and his brother, Charles, that he .had contacts with government officials who could help them import alfalfa pellets into Italy, the Schenks recalled. DiBattisto insisted they pay for him to fly to Europe on the supersonic Concorde because his time was so valuable, and they agreed, they said. He asked the Schenks to put him up at Rome's palatial Excelsior Hotel on the Via Veneto and rent a Mercedes-Benz limousine. But the people DiBattisto introduced them to were farmers from Naples, not government officials. No deals were struck. Almost 10 years later, Charles Schenk says he was "probably naive." Schenk said he did not like wasting his money so DiBattisto could have a two-week vacation in Rome but, in retrospect, "seeing the pope was worth it. I'll just call it even." ; The Schenks told Dade County State Attorney's Office investigator Richard E. Jaffe that DiBattisto "walked around like he was the mayor of the Vatican . . . and mingled with the pope and cardinals wearing a cowboy hat and orange-fringed western shirt." Before he stopped talking to The Post, DiBattisto boasted of having been an adviser to the pope on financial matters. ; : He also said he knew Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, who retired as head of the Vatican Bank in 1989 after he was implicated in an Italian banking scandal. DiBattisto's lawyer at the grand theft trial, Max B. Kogen, said that even after DiBattisto accused him of incompetence, he never doubted the truth of his client's connections to the church. If he says it, it's true,' friend says "I got the impression he was very important in the Catholic hierarchy," Kogen said. "Nothing would make me believe he wasn't." And Dorothy Werbin of Delray Beach, a friend for 30 years and a defense witness in the 1985 trial, said she held DiBattisto "in high regard. If he says it, it's true." Imelda Marcos' lawyer, James Paul Linn, said the DiBattisto lawsuit is a curiosity but just one of hundreds of claims he has received in his Oklahoma City offices. One man in Las Vegas claims the Marcoses owe him $275 trillion for absconding with his Yamashita gold, Linn said. The total national debt is only $3.4 trillion. Linn said he has seen DiBattisto's complaint but "couldn't make much sense of it myself. . . . Judge Roettger is not going to put much stock in that kind of pleading." Linn is doubtful the treasure ever existed, even though another Marcos lawyer, Gerry Spence, mentioned the Yamashita gold as a source of the Marcos wealth at Imelda Marcos' trial on racketeering charges last year. Both she and Khashoggi were acquitted. Ferdinand Marcos died in Hawaii in 1989. A Philippine commission seeking the Marcoses' wealth reported May 29 that it had uncovered another $500 million in two accounts allegedly under Marcos control outside Zurich. That brought to 65 the number of overseas accounts linked to the former Philippine first family. DiBattisto said he has spent millions to trace Romana's gold to Switzerland. It is pretty clear that Gen. Yamashita did not take it there. He was hanged for war crimes on orders of Gen. Douglas MacArthur in 1946.

He said that while it was possible he might have written a letter for DiBattisto, he would never have represented himself as a spokesman for Italian bishops. He did remember DiBattisto, however: as a parishioner and head usher at St. Mary's Cathedral in Miami. DiBattisto appealed his conviction in 1985, saying his lawyer had not allowed him to testify in his own behalf. The sentence was upheld in 1986. After his conviction, DiBattisto obtained an affidavit from the blind woman's heirs, stating that the charges against him "should have been a matter of civil judicial resolution." The family also supported his petition for an early termination of his probation, which was granted in 1989. After moving to Palm Beach County, DiBattisto sued the prosecutor in the case, the key witnesses, the trial judge and Dade County State Attorney Janet DiBattisto, who had been the woman's neighbor, was placed on five years' probation and was required to make restitution to her estate. Among the letters and commendations DiBattisto sent to Dade County Circuit Judge Ralph Person in an effort to mitigate his sentence was one dated October 1972 from President Richard Nixon thanking DiBattisto "for your continued prayers ... as I work to lead our nation," as well as a letter from Lady Bird Johnson declining an invitation to speak at an event he was organizing. One letter, on the stationery of The Secretariat of the Conference of Bishops of Italy, was sent "in recognition of his work for the Catholic Church in America and Italy." The letter bears the signature of Bishop Rene H. Gracida as Titular Bishop of Masuccaba, a defunct bishopric in North Africa. Gracida, now in Corpus Christi, Texas, said last month that he once held that Audubon says old image is for the birds Imelda Marcos to contest Philippines banishment New York Times News Service The National Audubon Society is worried about its old-fogy image. So it asked some California consultants to find out what came to mind when people heard the word Audubon. The bad news was: "Birds." And there was worse to come. The consultants reported that the 105-year-old society was regarded as "old-fashioned and exclusive" and not "compelling." Many survey respondents, the consultants said, thought it had a narrow "bird-oriented" focus. Bummer. That is if you're Peter A.A. Berle, president of the Audubon Society, competing with so many environmentalist groups for money and support. Greenpeace, the organization that runs rafts in front of Soviet whalers, was given much higher marks. "We want to be Greenpeace, but we don't want to parachute off bridges," said an editor of Audubon, the society's magazine, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The new image is more than bird-deep. The magazine's top editor, Les Line, who held the job for 25.years, was dismissed in early March. He was replaced with an interim editor, Malcolm Abrams, the former managing editor of The Star, a national tabloid. The very word "bird" is under assault in memos signed by Berle. Since the 1990 consultants' report from Landor Associates of San Francisco, members of the staff have been groups" and substitute "one of the nation's largest and most effective." Berle (pronounced BUR-lee), also is the publisher of Audubon. "What's wrong with being old?" said Line, its former editor. "Why does everything have to be new? It's like selling more boxes of Tide. Just put 'NEW!' on them. "Peter has expressed a desire to have 2 million members rather than the 500,000 we now have, and he feels those new members have to come from the twenty-something, thirty-something crowd," Line said. The average age of Audubon members is in the mid-40s. There was a problem when people saw the egret, Berle said. "They didn't say, 'Aha, Audubon!' Landor found that people had very little understanding of who we were and what we did but everybody knew the name." Berle went on: "The other problem is, We don't own the name. You could have an Audubon nursery or an Audubon used-car lot or an Audubon housing project or whatever. The concept of the flag, whether you like it or not, is that Audubon is a cause. That distinguishes it from a used-car lot." ' The Audubon Society was formed by a big-game hunter, George Bird Grinnell, in 1886, to fight the slaughter of birds for ornamental feathers. The society's namesake, John James Audubon, probably killed more birds than he painted but the very birdiness of his pictures apparently transcended thayact. 'We want to be Greenpeace, but we don't want to parachute off bridges.' AN 'AUDUBON' EDITOR asked to refrain from overusing "bird images." How then to report on fund-raising bird-a-thons? One directive suggested that when someone said: "Audubon that's all about birds, isn't it?" a reply might be: "We're much more than birds. Our scientists, lobbyists and grass-roots activists work on a variety of issues, including ancient forests, wetlands, the Platte and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge." Even the society's logo the beloved egret has been blown off course. It's been replaced on National Audubon stationery by a plain blue flag. Chapter members still are allowed to use the egret. What is happening to the National Audubon Society, one of the nation's oldest and esteemed environmental groups? Oops. Scratch "oldest." A January 1990 memo from Berle about the society's "old-fogy description" tells the staff in Audubon's New York office to eliminate phrases such as "one of the nation's oldest and largest environmental Reuters MANILA, Philippines Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos plans to take legal action to contest a ban by President Corazon Aquino stopping her return to the country, her lawyer said Saturday. "To . press for her return, Mrs. Marcos will have to fight " for her right in the courts," her ' lawyer, James Linn, said. "She will question before the Supreme Court the authority of President Aquino to prevent her return," Linn said. He said Mrs. Marcos, who has lived in exile in the United States for the past five years, planned to return home in September. "We will file a case before the Supreme Court right away." She and her family fled the Philippines when a popular revolt deposed her husband, Ferdinand Marcos, after 20 years in power. The Philippines has canceled her passport and refused to issue a new one. Its chief lawyer said she still had the money and "all the vile motives" to destabilize the government. Last month, Marcos petitioned a lower Manila court to let her return. Philippine Solicitor-General Francisco Chavez urged the court to reject the petition. Marcos has denied that she intended to make trouble on her return and said she was ready to cooperate with Aquino to unify the country. "It is Mrs. Marcos' position that President Aquino does not have the moral power and legal authority to decide that Mrs. Marcos cannot return," Linn said. Aquino has said she will allow Marcos' return once charges are filed against her. Aquino's government has accused the Marcos family and friends of stealing up to $10 billion from the country.

Nixon hadn't known it yet, but a plan was set in motion to remove him from office, and I blow the lid wide open as to why Watergate "had to happen". And, because Nixon released Orlando Bosch from prison on October 1972, Ed Kaiser backed out of assassinating him. I provide proof in my update. [/FONT]



I call this topic "Standing my Ground" - Scott Kaiser - 11-08-2016

Just so we are all clear on this, my father illegally sold my grandmothers mobile home where she would later reside in Lake Worth, my mother never knew who my father sold it to, and I say illegally because my mother said she read the will and that mobile home was suppose to go to my sister and me, my father took that money to treat his girlfriend to Alaska.

That "son of a bitch" DiBattisto is who bought that mobile home from my father in 1975 for only $7,000.00. No, I don't cover up my father's shit, and I don't protect fuckers who want to screw people over, I will expose everything, and guess what, this has all been very therapeutic for me to now talk about.
