When I started researching 9/11 - about 10 minutes after the towers fell - the incredible Greg Palast's postings were a big eye opener for me. He had already made the ties to the people and corporations who were involved in every awful thing that has happened past and present. When Russ Baker released his book a lot of it held true for me based on knowledge Palast's work.
One of the first pieces I ever did for CTKA was an expose on John Hankey. This can be seen here http://www.ctka.net/2010/hanky.html. My next piece came after Jim Di did an excellent piece on Baker. http://www.ctka.net/reviews/family_secrets.html. This is it here http://www.ctka.net/2011/Coogan_Cassano_Hankey3.html. A further run in bust up with Jim Fetzer happened on this forum which can be found. It is the opinion of Jim and I that Baker, and Hankey are guilty of overplaying George Bushes role in the assassination. I hope you both find these articles informative. If you want to see how pathetic the replies have been. I advise you go and see Fetzer and Hankey debating a tape recording of Jim. Why did Jim and I not debate Hankey? Well I was dead keen until Hankey, and his pal Gary King put a profile on Zimbio stating I was head of the CIA. A very good book on George Bush Snr is by Webster Tarpley unauthorised biography of Bush Snr it is online, and he avoids getting to flowery as far as JFK is concerned. A common problem with Baker and Hankey, is their source material can be traced back to a one Paul Kangas.
That guy is poison.
