Chapter 18 keeps the gruesome theme going with the death of Paul Wilcher, Gunther Russbacher’s attorney, who hand-delivered his 100-page letter to Attorney General Janet Reno claiming that holdover employees from the Reagan-Bush era were responsible for a number of cover-ups. [This controversial little subset can keep you busy for hours.] The gauntlet was then picked up by Garby Leon, who wrote his own letter to Attorney General Reno, which contains this chillingly central quote:

Quote:“…if critics of our government are found dead in their bathrooms from obscure causes, and the government itself doesn't take steps to find out why, then our freedoms themselves are threatened--as well as the activities that protect those freedoms.

If individual investigation and criticism of government activities is chilled or intimidated into silence, then democracy loses its most important protection.
To put it another way, if Danny Casolaro's death was a message of some kind, then Wilcher's death is an even grimmer message--it suggests that Casolaro's death was not a fluke. Anyone inspired to follow Casolaro or Wilcher's path now has a strong added reason to fear doing so.”

And then there’s the twin murders of Neal Abernathy and his son.
And Riconosciuto’s “fuel-air bomb technology” (page 322).
It gets spookier.

Al C. Holbert makes an appearance again, and Rafi Eitan comes by for an extended visitation. Eitan was the director of Israel's Lekem (an acronym for ha-Lishka le-Kishrei Mada or Bureau of Scientific Relations) intelligence agency which recruited Pollard, a U.S. Navy analyst, in 1984 and which was disbanded when Pollard was arrested. And there’s a Mountie in on the case.

According to Seymour:

Quote:"McDade said that the details of his findings in Canada could conceivably cause a major scandal in both Canada and the United States.i He said if his investigation is successful it could cause the entire Republican Party to be dismantled - that it would cease to exist in the U.S." Hyperbole, perhaps, but bizarre stuff from a professional lawman.
"Then," continues Seymour, "he said something that was just really out there. He stood in my dining room with a straight face and told us that ... more than one presidential administration will be exposed for their knowledge of the PROMIS software transactions. He said that high-ranking Canadian government officials may have unlawfully purchased the PROMIS software from high-ranking U.S. government officials in the Reagan/Bush administration, and he further stated that the RCMP has located numerous banks around the world that have been used by these U.S. officials to launder the money from the sale of the PROMIS software." Seymour was stunned. "First," she says, "I wondered if this guy was for real and, second, did he have something against Republicans." Just when she thought things couldn't get any weirder, "McDade detailed a December 1999 meeting at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico attended by the heads of the intelligence divisions of the U.S. [CIA], Great Britain [MI6], Israel [Mossad] and Canada [CSIS]. McDade said the topic of the discussion was UNIQUE ELEMENTS, and that during this meeting it allegedly was revealed that all four allied nations share computer systems and have for years. The meeting was called after a glitch was found in a British computer system that had caused the loss of historical case data."

McDade continued with this scenario by telling the astonished group: "The Israeli Mossad may have modified the original PROMIS modification [the first back door] so it became a two-way back door, allowing the Israelis access to top U.S. weapons secrets at Los Alamos and other classified installations. The Israelis may now possess all the nuclear secrets of the United States." According to Seymour, he concluded by saying that "the Jonathan Pollard [spy] case is insignificant by comparison to the current crisis."

Numerous people have maintained contact with Bill Hamilton, the original owner of PROMIS software. One of them was Garby Leon. Some of that correspondence is covered on pages 264ff of the Seymour book. Hamilton has noted that he had heard from multiple sources that Rafi Eitan (who was the Israeli who handled the Pollard espionage matter from Israel’s side) sought and received permission to kill Hamilton. Further information from “Witness 9” indicated that ‘First authorized use of PROMIS Is on nuclear submarines…. Source said it was installed in every nuclear sub owned by the US and Great Britain.” Pollard worked as a civilian intelligence analyst for the Navy; while he sits in prison, his $5,0000 monthly stipend from Israel is invested for him. That’s twice as large as his Naval paycheck, an Israeli tradition for spies, according to Wolf Blitzer, a former journalist in Jerusalem. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Seymour M. Hersh writes in The Samson Option that Pollard gave Israel top-secret U.S. intelligence on the Soviet Union. [See also Gideon’s Spies: the Secret History of the MOSSAD by Gordon Thomas, as well as http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/0194/9401010.htm and http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/cpc-pubs/farr.htm.]

Quote:According to the British journalist, Gordon Thomas, Eitan participated in a partnership between Israeli and U.S. intelligence during the early 1980s in selling to foreign intelligence agencies in excess of $500 million worth of licenses to a trojan horse version of the Washington, D.C.-based, Inslaw Inc.'s people-tracking software called Promis, in order to spy on them.[3]

The bubbling brew of darkness, chaos and criminal treason thickens considerably; along with the toads and the poisoned entrails, toss in John Gotti, the Gambino family, Howard Baker, Lew Wasserman, Robert Maheu, Jules Stein and Bill Weld. Further names can be found in Seymour’s book on page 267ff.

Using the Evica/Drago model of identifying mechanics, facilitators and sponsors, we can begin to see three names emerge as sponsors from the steam of the brew, and two others as facilitators and beneficiaries. Aided by an ex-Czech media magnate later buried with high ceremony on the Mount of Olives, all five have held high rank in the Executive branch of the United States government. Additional names emerge on pages 346ff in Seymour’s synopses of the reports prepared for the House Committee on the Judiciary.

And see also Bill Knoedelseder’s “Stiffed: A True Story of MCA, the Music Business and the Mafia” [http://www.amazon.com/Stiffed-Story-Music-Business-Mafia/dp/0060167459].
See especially Seymour’s page 358 on which the Organized Crime Strike Force supervisor of the FBI wiretaps confirms that MCA board member and Gambino associate Eugene Giaquinto told his friend Martin Bacow that he would call Ed Meese to have the FBI investigation into Meridian International Logistics’ involvement in narco-trafficking stopped. MIL was based at the Cabazon reservation and was a Wackenhut partner. MIL’s board also included Giaquinto, Harold Okimoto and Robert Booth Nichols, and Riconosciuto handled the laundering of the proceeds. MIL board minutes also reflect intended communications with a Japanese medical school to fund their work in immunology research (no doubt with laundered narco-dollars) (see pages 137-138). I have to join Seymour in wondering why arms dealers with “alleged” ties to organized crime would want to fund medical training in Japan; Riconosciuto’s files on possible military applications for gene splicing and the production of pathogenic agents might provide a clue.

Another large chunk of entrail floats to the surface on page 368:

“One intercepted conversation, taken from the FBI wiretaps, revealed a conversation in which Giaquinto told Martin Bacow that the computer printouts being delivered to him by his ‘government man’ would show connections to companies they owned, stockholders and other companies as well as indictments and other ongoing investigations.” Bacow is described -- in the spectacularly successful but then terminated by pressure from above wiretap program – as “the back door liaison teamsters connection to the movie industry” (page 377).

Bill Hamilton believes that “the modified version of his PROMIS software had been used for money laundering of drug profits to fund unauthorized intelligence operations, and he was convinced that part of the reason that the FBI wiretaps of MCA executives connected with the Mob and Robert Booth Nichols were shut down because the FBI and prosecutors had bumped into an intelligence operation involving PROMIS. “

That was in 1988. Further research or deduction as to what intelligence operation was undertaken in the mid-80’s is necessary.

A Review of “The Last Circle” by Cheri Seymour

As I finished the book, the phone rang. On the other end was a fund-raiser from some organization whose name I did not bother to grasp, nor did I care to know. Astonished at my crude and abrupt “No, we’re going to pass on you”, the caller sputtered in amazement “Do you mean that you are not concerned about the environment or global warming?” “No” came the abrupt answer, but she hung up before I could recommend she read this book to find out what I was concerned about.

How could she know that my heart had been irreparably broken?

“The system deftly sidesteps astounding revelations with disdain, malice and fluffery”, notes the Trine-Day publisher in his foreword.

The book is mandatory reading. I propose a campaign in which we mingle our funds to buy copies of this book to be sent to members of the mainstream media, the Cabinet, the advisors of the President, the Supreme Court, all 535 members of Congress and anyone else we can afford. (Each of us can start with our Congressional representative, mailing the copy we bought after we’ve finished reading it.) Tucked inside it should be a letter asking the recipient to address the book’s implications by answering at least some of the questions below, and by joining the rest of us in standing up and saying “enough”.

Thanks, Danny, for your sacrifice.

Thanks, Cheri, for writing this book.

Thanks, Kris Milligan, for publishing it.

Thanks, Rachel, for your personal courage; I told you I simply did not know.

Now I do.

Questions for the author, the reader, the press and Congress:

#1) Cheri, on page 376, you stated that Robert Booth Nichols once insinuated that he worked for the Illuminati. Given the loaded nature of that word and the claim, can you back up that statement?

#2) Does the availability of PROmis to Mossad and other Israeli state and non-state organizations warrant concern and further research?

Have you read Gordon Duff’s piece?: http://redactednews.blogspot.com/2010/11/when-is-leak-hacking-hacking-leak-and.html

Or this one by the former director of studies at the US War College? http://www.redress.cc/americas/asabrosky20100811

#3) Can any correlation be made between the membership and activities of the prayer meetings noted on page 423 and “The Family” or “The Fellowship” (once described by Watergate conspirator Charles Colson as a “veritable underground of Christ’s men all through the U.S. government” and by author Jeff Sharlet as “the secret fundamentalism at the heart of American power”)? [http://www.democracynow.org/2009/8/12/sharlet] Sharlet’s book: http://www.amazon.com/Family-Secret-Fundamentalism-Heart-American/dp/0060559799

Is there any deep correlation with members of these fundamentalist groups and the “wet” covert teams of Seymour Hersh’s “assassination ring”, private military contractors and their activities? http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=10119&postcount=1 http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1134

#4) Is there any speculation, source of information, or more about how the original software with modifications may have now been further modified? What it might be capable of? Is it in use today? Where, by whom, and for what purpose? Was its use involved in the recent bailout business? Does “the Fed” have a copy? How might it have been used in that context ? Are there indications that organized crime, government officials, people working for “the Fed”, people in private corporations, or people working for sovereign states are involved in the manipulation of commodities, gold, silver, currencies, or in the counterfeiting of bonds?

See, for example: http://www.antifascistencyclopedia.com/allposts/mass-murder-for-my-daily-bread-the-iran-contra-perpetrators-of-911-chapter-one and its references to Adnan Kashoggi and Barrick Gold (allegedly a CIA spin-offf).

Is there a tie-in between the events described in the book and the events described here?
http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1623&highlight=bonds+Italy

#5) Is PROmis integrated into the Ptech/9-11 story?
http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=163620.0

#6) Is there any indication of any activities in arms dealing that involve WMD’s, particularly nuclear fissionable materials, such as in this story?: Nuclear bomb material found for sale on Georgia black market http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/07/nuclear-material-black-market-georgia

#7) Cheri, have you corresponded at all with

• Sibel Edmonds;
  
• “Economic Hit Man” John Perkins;
  
• Indira Singh;
  
• Richard Andrew Grove?
  

#8) Have you read of Grove’s description of Panacya software?

See it here:
http://www.commongroundcommonsense.org/forums/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=57&&st=400# (This is the fifth of five parts, in reverse chronological order… go back by going down the pages and deeper into the page count). Specifically, the software is described in Part III: http://www.commongroundcommonsense.org/forums/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=57&&st=400#

Is Panacya a nickname for PROmis? Is it an extension, modification or derivative of PROmis?

#9) Do you have any reason to believe that further biotech applications as described in The Last Circle and particularly in Chapter 11 are still underway? Is there any connection between them and the database capacities developed by Wackenhut, explored in depth in the contexts of PNAC and Hadron, and lying ominously close to the allegations behind Main Core? Noting the background of Earl Brian (see pp. 153-157ff in The Last Circle), is this something that should be disseminated to and explored with leading officials at the nation’s health insurers, public health officials, or key leadership involved in the debates about ObamaCare?

#10) Have you correlated any of the information or data in the book (see page 168) or other research with theories advanced by many others that the AIDS virus was manufactured in secretive US facilities? I speak specifically of theories advanced by Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz in Idaho (Tetrahedron LLC), or in the book “Dr. Mary’s Monkey” [http://trineday.com/paypal_store/product_pages/Dr_Mary.html].

#11) Do you have any reason to believe (or further explore) the connections between Michael Riconosciuto’s fuel-air explosive technologies and other events such as the Oklahoma/Murrah bombing, 9/11, or others?

“Riconosciuto’s talents were much in demand. He had created the a-neutronic bomb (or "Electro-Hydrodynamic Gaseous Fuel Device"), which sank the ground level of the Nevada test site by 30 feet when a prototype was tested. Samuel Cohen, the inventor of the neutron bomb, said of Riconosciuto: "I’ve spoken to Michael Riconosciuto (the inventor of the a-neutronic bomb) and he’s an extraordinarily bright guy. I also have a hunch, which I can’t prove, that they both (Riconosciuto and Lavos, his partner) indirectly work for the CIA." Riconosciuto’s bomb made suitcase nukes obsolete, because it achieved near-atomic explosive yields, but could be more easily miniaturized.”

#12) Is there any correlation with Flight 5191?
http://aconstantineblacklist.blogspot.com/2008/03/lexington-comair-crash-parts-one-three.html

#13) Have you read The Octopus: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro (http://www.amazon.com/Octopus-Secret-Government-Death-Casolaro/dp/0922915911/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289584587&sr=1-1 ), and how does it stack up against “The Last Circle” and other investigative work?

#14) If, as it appears and it is alleged, that there has been “an unforgivable use of the unauthorized NSA bank surveillance of PROMIS to launder profits from drug trafficking so some of them could be used to finance covert intelligence projects” (p. 443) and some of those projects undeniably have been used to foster the overthrow of sovereign states, the inflammation of racial and ethnic tensions in many parts of the world which create and enable terror and war,as well as the internal domestic manipulation of people, the press, Congress and the Republic itself, as well as the murders of US citizens, then isn’t Congress, in its oversight role, effectively impotent? Has not both Congress and the Fourth Estate vacated its responsibilities to our democratic Republic?

As Jim Hougan, a former Washington editor of Harper’s and author of two books on the intelligence community, said to Garby Leon (page 266 in Seymour), “What very few historians or other people have grasped is that intelligence has been institutionalized in our country. When CIA was invented in 1947, we began to encrypt our history. The CIA charter says that it shall be an “engine of conspiracy”- that’s why [the US intelligence budget is so high, and why it is supplemented with laundered narco-dollars]. I think that a case can be made that a democracy is incompatible with an intelligence capacity of that size, breadth and clandestinity, How can we make any informed decisions politically if we can’t know anything that’s pertinent?”

#15) Do you (or any readers of this review) have any further suggestions or recommendations for research? For critical thinking?

#16) For readers desiring extra credit: Who is the fellow who once described himself as “the department’s cleaner” still employed today inside the Department of Justice? And what was his critical role in this case?

#17) If the triple homicide of Fred Alvarez was an “authorized, backed, covert action” [as admitted by Jimmy Hughes on video in 1981 as broadcast on NBC-TV in LA (p. 439) and linked above, is there really any need for the Obama administration to argue before a Federal court that state-sanctioned murder should be an unreviewable right of the Executive Branch?
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article26777.htm

Is that not a right reserved for and exercised by tyrants, totalitarian rulers, and despots? And look who’s playing a role… The US Department of Justice…
