    Serious question to BV and TB

    Do you believe that any of the last 6 Administrations had even one American Citizen murdered for the sole purpose of keeping them from revealing sensitive and possibly damaging information.

    Yes or No

    Yes or No

    No. At least I have no rational reason to think they did.

    Some dudes on here have a very touching uncritical acceptance that govts and their agencies are populated by paragons of due process and high minded morals and would never, ever do anything naughty.

    Harvey may be skewed towards seeing conspiracy in every dark corner, but I find his suspicious mindset way more credible than the opposite viewpoint.

    Just spent well over three minutes trawling the govt website for info on how many people they've rubbed out, but couldn't find it. So that must mean there were no instances!

    Just for control purposes, did the same on th.rush version vis a vis that dude in London who ate the radiation sushi, but couldn't find him in the stats either.
    So it didn't happen.

    Cyrillic is a bastard btw.

    Dude got tooken out. That's the full baked point. Maybe the engine thing isn't as significant as I first thought, but...still.

    I'm not saying he wasn't...I have no idea. I'm just looking at what was presented to me as some type of evidence of an assassination (a meme that says 'luk at tha engine bro! conpurissy!') then pointing at it and laughing at it...because it was the dumbest thing I'd seen all day.

    The terrible beauty of the paranoid mindset is that being proven wrong just reinforces the demented certainty that one is right.

    The circular logic of a sick mind is breathtaking, at times.

    I think Harvey just said that since he doesn't understand science, he doesn't believe science.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, Harvey.

    Science has too many limits to be definitive. It's only based on observation and with media stories we don't have any access to actually practice science. But that doesn't stop dudes from citing it all day, like they were investigators on the scene. So beyond whether the engine was a good or bad entry point, dude got tooken out....clearly.

    Well here's a short list of people who were definitely NOT killed by our government. There is no proof to suggest they were and any speculation that they were is just crazy conspiracy talk.

    DEAD BODYGUARDS
    Maj. Gen. William Robertson,Deputy Commanding General, V Corps, Europe
    Col William Densberger,V Corps Chief of Operations and Plans
    Col. Robert Kelly,V Corps Chief of Intelligence
    Spec. Gary Rhodes, Crew Chief
    died: 2/23/93 - All were killed when their Army UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crashed in Wiesbaden, Germany. No cause was ever determined. - V Corps figured prominently in the US Bosnia-Serbia peacekeeping operations, along with the carrier Roosevelt. These men, and 8 others associated with Clinton's visit to the Roosevelt all died within 4 months of each other.

    Steve Willis, Clinton bodyguard
    Robert Williams, Clinton bodyguard
    Conway LeBleu, Clinton bodyguard
    Todd McKeehan, Clinton bodyguard
    died: 2/28/93 - "executed" by gunfire in the Waco, Texas assault on the Branch Davidians. - All four were examined by a "private doctor" and died from nearly identical wounds to the left temple, so-called execution style. According to Linda Thompson, videotapes and other evidence indicates that none died from guns fired by Branch Davidians. In his address to employees of the Treasury Department in the Cash Room on March 18, 1993, Clinton said: "My prayers and I'm sure yours are still with the families of all four of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents who were killed in WACO -- Todd McKeehan and Conway Le Bleu of New Orleans; Steve Willis of Houston, and Robert Williams from my hometown of Little Rock. Three of those four were assigned to my security during the course of the primary or general election." However, the Little Rock, Arkansas office of the ATF confirmed that all four had at one point been bodyguards for Bill Clinton, three while he was campaigning for President, and while he had been governor of Arkansas. In the videotape by the American Justice Federation, "WACO II, the Big Lie Continues," Linda Thompson demonstrates that 15 shots were fired from six separate weapons into and out of a room into which three of the four agents had entered through a window. Four of these shots were fired from an overhead helicopter, an agent outside the window, firing an MP5 submachine gun, who also threw in a concussion grenade, fired at least two shots into the room. In the autopsies of these agents, three had virtually identical wounds to the left temple that exited through the rear of the head, execution-style. A "private physician" treated all four.


    Alan G. Whicher
    Oversaw Clinton's Secret Service detail. In October 1994 Whicher was transferred to the Secret Service field office in the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Whatever warning was given to the BATF agents in that building did not reach Alan Whicher, whom died in the bomb blast of April 19th 1995.


    Cpl Eric S. Fox.
    Died 3/22/99. Crewman for Marine One, the Presidential Helicopter. Shot in the head, and declared a suicide.


    Five Navy aviators, Clinton bodyguards/escorts
    (names not determined) died: 3/26/93 - all died in a crash of an E-2C Hawkeye in Italy. The crash occurred shortly after the plane was "waved off" from a landing attempt on the Carrier Roosevelt, due to a "foul deck". - All five men had been Clinton's escorts during Clinton's visit to the Roosevelt 2 weeks prior. Three other men, who had flown Clinton to the Roosevelt for that visit also died later in a helicopter crash.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Staff Sgt. Brian Haney, Clinton bodyguard
    Marine Sgt. Tim Sabel, Clinton bodyguard
    Maj. William Barkley, Clinton bodyguard
    Capt. Scott Reynolds, Clinton bodyguard
    died: 5/19/93 - All four men died when their helicopter crashed in the woods near Quantico, Va. - Reporters were barred from the site, and the head of the fire department responding to the crash described it by saying, "Security was tight," with "lots of Marines with guns."

He has recently left the law firm in Little Rock where Hillary C worked and set up a small office in Memphis. On that Friday night I saw Stan and spoke to him briefly. He seemed extreemly nervous & about to jump out of his skin. The word circulated throughout the party that he had been involved in some secretive issue that was under the microscope. Soon after that we were told by his wife that he had flown up to a NE University to give a speech on a Saturday. He checked into the provided dorm room, by the university employees that said he looked fine. When they called up to his room later in the day he didn't answer the phone, so they went to check on him and found him dead. His wife has tried to get the hospital records, but they were sealed by JAnet Reno under presidential orders of Clinton. Over that weekend his Memphis office was broken into and the only noticable thing taken were his files.

    Florence Martin, Accountant subcontracting to CIA

There were other reports that Neil Moody had discovered something very unsettling among his stepmother's private papers and was threatening to go public with it just prior to the beginning of the Democratic National Convention. He was alleged to have been talking to Bob Woodward of the Washington Post about a blockbuster story. Witnesses said they saw Neil Moody sitting in his car arguing with another person just prior to HIS CAR SUDDENLY SPEEDING OFF OUT OF CONTROL AND HITTING A BRICK WALL.



    Johnny Franklin Lawhon, Jr.
    Died March 29, 1998
    In the spring of 1997, a tornado ripped through some junked cars at Johnny's transmission and opened up the trunk of a car that proved to have a box of Whitewater records in it, including a copy of a $27,000 cashiers check drawn on Madison and payable to Bill Clinton. Johnny Franklin Lawhon, Sr. realized what he was looking at and turned the box of documents over to the FBI.

    According to police, Lawhon Jr. (the son) and a friend hit a telephone pole at a high rate of speed after their car had become airborne and left the road. They had driven less than 1/4 of a mile at the time of the accident.

    This manner of death is similar to the single vehicle accidents that killed Paula Grober, and Neil Moody.

According to the Gibbs family, Bill Clinton was a regular customer of Judy. While cooperating with law enforcement in a drug investigation, Judy was burned alive when her house burned down. In a sworn statement, Clinton bodyguard Barry Spivey related how he had been with the governor when the governor's plane had flown over Judy Gibb's house and Clinton had shown Judy's penthouse photos on the plane and pointed out the house.



    DEAD INVESTIGATORS

    Paul Wilcher, Washington attorney investigating gun running out of Mena, Arkansas.
    died: 6/22/93 - Found dead on a toilet in his Washington apartment. No cause of death was ever reported by the coroner.
    At the time of his death, he was investigating connections between the "October surprise" during the 1980 federal election campaign and drug and gunrunning out of Mena, Arkansas, as well as the BATF assault on the Waco, Texas Branch Davidians. Was planning on producing a television documentary on his findings. He had delivered a 105-page affidavit to Janet Reno detailing the evidence he had collected regarding the drug operation at Mena, just three weeks before his death.



    Jon Parnell Walker, RTC investigator

    died: 5/3/96 - Ron Brown died along with 39 other people when the T-43 (a converted 737 used by the Air Force) carrying the group on a trip to Bosnia crashed while approaching the Dubrovnik airport. On the verge of being indicted and having stated publicly his willingness to make a deal with prosecutors, Ron Brown's death brought to an end his ability to testify.
    As of this writing, Judicial Watch has petitioned for the investigation into on Brown's dealings to be expanded to include his death. (NOTE: Also belongs under dead fundraisers)



    Barbara Wise, Commerce Department Staffer
    died: 11/29/96 - As the scandals continued to swirl around the John Huang, one of Huang's associates, Barbara Wise, was found dead in her locked office on the fourth floor of the Department of Commerce, partially nude (by one report completely nude) and covered with bruises. No cause of death has ever been announced even though an autopsy was conducted (prior to next of kin being notified). Calls to the D.C. autopsist, Dr. Jaardemal have gotten an assurance that the bruises were not from being beaten but nothing else. Despite claims of ongoing illness, no record of a hospital visit in the months leading up to her death has surfaced. Oddly enough, following the discovery of her body, Bill Clinton made an unscheduled return to the White House from Camp David, claiming he needed a book of poetry in order to complete his inauguration speech.


    Charles Meissner, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for International Economic Policy.
    John Huang was placed on a Commerce Department contract that allowed him to retain his security clearance by Charles Meissner. Charles Meissner died on the plane with Ron Brown.





    THE HENRY - IVES DEATHS, A.K.A. THE "TRAIN DEATHS"




    Kevin Ives & Don Henry
    Initial cause of death was reported to be the result of falling asleep on a railroad track in Arkansas on August 23, 1987. This ruling was reported by the State medical examiner Fahmy Malak. Later it was determined that Kevin died from a crushed skull prior to being placed on the tracks. Don had been stabbed in the back. Rumors indicate that they might have stumbled upon part of the Mena drug operation, specifically a drop site in the area of Bauxite and Alexander, Arkansas.

    Keith Coney
    Keith had information on the Ives/Henry deaths. Died in a motorcycle accident in July 1988 while being chased by a car. Ruled a traffic accident.

    Keith McKaskle
    McKaskle has information on the Ives/Henry deaths. He was stabbed to death in November 1988. He had told his family someone was out to kill him and told tem "good bye".

    Gregory Collins
    Greg had information on the Ives/Henry deaths. He died from a gunshot blast to the face in January 1989. Declared a suicide.

    Paul Olson
    A Federal witness in investigations to drug money corruption in Chicago politics, Paul had just finished 2 days of FBI interviews when his plane ride home crashed, killing Paul and 130 others on Sept 8 1994. The Sept. 15, 1994 Tempe Tribune newspaper reported that the FBI suspected that a bomb had brought down the airplane.


    Jeff Rhodes
    He had information on the deaths of Ives, Henry & McKaskle. His burned body was found in a trash dump in April 1989. He died of a gunshot wound to the head and there was some body mutilation, specifically that his hands and feet had been partially sawn off, leading to the speculation that he was tortured prior to being killed. The body was then burned.


    James Milam
    Milam was decapitated. The state Medical examiner, Fahmy Malak, initially ruled death due to natural causes, claiming that the victim's small dog had eaten the head, which was later recovered from a trash bin several blocks away.


    Richard Winters
    Winters were a suspect in the deaths of Ives & Henry, and had offered to cooperate. He was killed by a shotgun blast to the face during a "robbery" in July 1989, which was subsequently proven to be a setup.
    Dan Harmon, the Prosecutor who Winters reportedly made the offer to, has since been implicated in the Kevin/Ives deaths and is now in jail for running his office as a racket.



    Jordan Kettleson
    Kettleson had information on the Ives & Henry deaths. He was found shot to death in the front seat of his pickup in June 1990.


    Barry Seal
    Now known to have been a drug runner for the CIA, operating out of the Mena airport, Barry Seal had reportedly kept in contact with Bill Clinton's head of security at the governor's mansion, Raymond "Buddy" Young, the ex rodeo clown who is now the number 2 man at FEMA.
    Following his fall from CIA grace, Barry was sentenced to live at a Salvation Army Housing Complex by a judge who also prohibited Barry Seal to either have any guns or to employ any bodyguards. Corruption doesn't become any more obvious than this. Barry was gunned down with machine gun fire in the parking lot of the Salvation Army Housing Complex.

    In violation of the court order, Barry had hired bodyguards who worked a rotation schedule. But the bodyguard who was to be there when Barry was killed never showed up. That bodyguard, according to video producer Daniel Hopsicker, was a former associate (meaning drug pilot) of Barry's named William "Bear" Bottoms. Bottoms continues to this very day to prowl the internet insisting that there never was any drug running operation at Mena, Arkansas.

    Barry Seal's aircraft mechanic at Mena (name unknown as of this time) died March 21, 1995 of an "overdose of mouthwash". Regarded by local authorities as an obvious homicide.

    Serious question to BV and TB

    Do you believe that any of the last 6 Administrations had even one American Citizen murdered for the sole purpose of keeping them from revealing sensitive and possibly damaging information.

    Yes or No

    American Citizens have been killed by the last 6 Administrations. There is no doubt about that.

    Were they killed to protect sensitive and possibly damaging information? I don't know.

    If by "Administration", you mean did the president directly order people killed to keep secrets? I would say, No. That doesn't mean lower level operatives didn't. But, I just don't know.

    I don't know about governments, but I do know that in organized crime the top guys always try to distance themselves from the actual crimes their underlings commit.

    You know, that singularity where all normal laws of due process and morals breaks down.

    That's a very precise number.

    Amazing.

    With all those people you listed as being mysteriously deaded, especially Clinton guys, it's surprising that the GOP Congress during the Clinton years didn't investigate ANY one of those mysteries. Unless, they were in on it...Muuhahahahahahahaha!

    Does that mean your theory is false, of course not. It just an observation. Politics were nearly as partisan and polarizing under Clinton as they are now. Let's not forget that Clinton was impeached for lying about cheating on his wife. I find it hard to believe that the GOP Congress of that era would not have done thorough investigation in to credible murder allegations, especially when the alleged murdered are military guys.

    Go figure.

    My theory?

    You obviously did not read my opening sentence.

    Well here's a short list of people who were definitely NOT killed by our government. There is no proof to suggest they were and any speculation that they were is just crazy conspiracy talk.

    Conspiracy theory: govt plants covert agents like BV and LMJ TB to supply anti-conspiracy propaganda into the discussion.

    Rational theory: govt relies on intelligent and articulate dudes like BV and TB as a natural part of the demographic to supply that view without reward or coercion.

    Irrational theory: same sane intelligent and articulate dudes truly believe that this govt, contrary to millenia's worth of historical experience, do not eliminate certain elements undesirable to them.

    Science has too many limits to be definitive.
    This sentence piqued my curiosity, because I can't figure out what you meant by it.

    Without limits, nothing can be definitive. Every single thing we experience is defined by its limits, which makes the above sentence appear paradoxical.

    Perhaps you wouldn't mind explaining your perspective?

    (My personal) Rational theory: [del]govt relies on intelligent and articulate dudes like BV and TB as a natural part of the demographic to supply that view without reward or coercion.[/del] Avoids sweeping generalizations like all three presented in this quote and takes things on a logical case by case basis where arguments with legitimate/well-supported facts/points are generally accepted but completely open to being altered when/if further evidence/points presents itself/themselves.

    Irrational theory: same sane intelligent and articulate dudes truly believe that this govt, contrary to millenia's worth of historical experience, do not eliminate certain elements undesirable to them.

    To each their own...

    I spoke to my dad the other day about this and his perspective was kind of funny. He said I went to Vietnam and was told I was fighting against the dangers of communism, spent 20 years around the world with the USAF during the cold war protecting America from communism, and now Snowden, who is an American hero for what he's doing, has to seek refuge from America(!) in Communist China - this country is fucked.
    He then had the cheek to immediately ask if I'd reconsidered moving over there :lol:



    So the latest is that the US is filing criminal charges of espionage against Snowden. Anyway somebody can carve facepalms onto the Rushmore national monument?

    the party that took office on the political platform of America needing MORE whistleblowers has filed high crime charges against its first and most important.

    Yeah, on the verge of paying-off the last of my student-debt and currently live in a madhouse with an alcoholic real-life version of this character
    plus a jobless piano-playing child-man and a guy legally classed as mentally ill (although he's the sanest of the bunch). Not much holding me here really :lol:


    Back on topic, the only positive side to all this is that it is/was inevitable that the internet would be misused at some point. America has the chance to fix this, and if they do you'd imagine that they'd extend some kind of "fair practice" policy around the world and other countries could also benefit.

    Yes, I'm tempted to call my dad just to see his reaction to this latest development.


    As a story, I'm thinking Teh US of A was once known as Anakin Skywalker. Snowden might as well be seeking protection from Jabba the Hut though as I assume there will be strings attached.
    Britain's GCHQ have also been snooping & the Germans are not amused.
    Will anything actually happen? Seems that governments often play the tactic of letting revelation after revelation come out knowing that the public gets fatigued over certain stories after a while...
