https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post...gton-post/
Quote:The Republican presidential front-runner, for the first time, listed five of the people who are part of a team, chaired by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), counseling him on foreign affairs and helping to shape his policies. They are Keith Kellogg, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Walid Phares and Joseph E. Schmitz.
Quote:Schmitz served as inspector general at the Defense Department during the early years of President George W. Bush's administration and has worked for Blackwater Worldwide.
Along with Jack Keane, that's at least the second Blackwater adviser that Trump has named. There may be more. Jeff Sessions was mentioned above in connection with CNP.
Lots of red flags when it comes to Schmitz. Blackwater, assistant to Ed Meese, Knight of Malta, worked for Patton Boggs...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_E._Schmitz
Quote:Schmitz resigned as Defense Department Inspector General on September 9, 2005 in the wake of new allegations that he intervened to obstruct the FBI investigation of fellow Bush appointee to the Department of Defense John A. Shaw in relation to contracting improprieties in Iraq for which Shaw was fired in December 2004.[11][12][13]
The allegations also included interference in the investigation of Mary L. Walker's role in the Torture Memos scandal and Schmitz's redaction of an investigative report on Boeing to remove the names of White House officials before sending it to congress.[9][12]
In addition to serious questions regarding Schmitz's independence from the White House, Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) also submitted complaints that Schmitz had accepted a trip to South Korea paid for by a former lobbying client and similarly obtained eight tickets to a Washington Nationals basketball game

Yeah that's the troubling thing Peter. The mob ties and even Roy Cohn got some mainstream media attention in relation to Trump, but he was just painted as this mobbed up Joe McCarthy lawyer. I feel that barely scratches the surface. I think Hopsicker will do a better job of showing the intelligence ties, though I think the relationship to sexual blackmail and pedophile rings needs to be shown too.

It is 'interesting' that the other Republicans don't want to bring any of this up but what does it say about the Democrats and others too?

I doubt you can get a fag paper between both Parties when it comes to crookedness and corruption.
As I recall the mob always wanted their own president. I suppose they might have had had shares in a few my now.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951).

There's a significant degree of overlap with the Clintons, though not as much as with Trump when it comes to these particular characters. Hillary was involved in Iran-contra and the Savings & Loan stuff, and the Clintons seem to be products of Jackson Stephens. So I consider her part of the same clique.

Jeb Bush has endorsed Ted Cruz:
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/je...ruz-221140
This is after Dubya last year said he didn't like the guy: "I just don't like the guy," Bush said Sunday night, according to conversations with more than half a dozen donors who attended the event…
Bush also cast Cruz's candidacy as an exercise in personal gain, not service. "He sort of looks at this like Cruz is doing it all for his own personal gain, and that's juxtaposed against a family that's been all about public service and doing it for the right reasons," a donor said. "He's frustrated to have watched Cruz basically hijack the Republican Party of Texas and the Republican Party in Washington."
I think we can all see what's going on here. The GOP elite doesn't want Cruz, either. But they see him as the best mechanism to force a contested convention, and pick someone else - like Jeb! or Mitt! or Newt!
And I have to throw in a ::rofl:: over the part about "a family that's been all about public service and doing it for the right reasons"

John K. Singlaub pops up almost as frequently as Roy Cohn. One of his groups, for example:

Neo-nazis, John McCain, Iran-contra and Sun Myung Moon...oh my....

Singlaub's CNP bio mentions he's chairman of a Jedburgh Group, Inc.
http://www.cfnp.org/Page.aspx?pid=333
His wikipedia mentions his time as an OSS agent in an Operation Jedburgh
Quote:As a member of Operation Jedburgh (Singlaub was part of the three man team code name JAMES), Singlaub parachuted behind German lines in August 1944 to work with the French Resistance fighters or Maquis groups that had swelled the resistance ranks after the D-Day invasion during World War II. He headed CIA operations in postwar Manchuria during the Chinese Communist revolution, led troops in the Korean War, managed the secret war along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the Kingdom of Laos and Vietnam, worked with the Contras in Nicaragua, and Afghan resistance during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Multiple scandals involving Jedburgh Group. Once I get into the Savings & Loan scandal links, I think the significance of these Singlaub-connected financial crimes will become clear.
Was convicted smog-credit swindler Anne Sholtz also part of shady international money repatriation' schemes with links to the CIA?
