Our Fascination with Gibson Island, Maryland


It was less than a year since Gibson Island was mentioned on the George Webb Youtube Channel and McDuff: Kennedy's Man to Smash the CIA  ( I do not exactly remember the context for the first mention of Gibson Island, but it was likely related to the motivation of Webb’s researchers and associated sleuths to take a closer look at Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd.

Gibson, Nuclear
15 miles from Gibson Island to Russian Retreat, by Sea Plane

Bob Mueller the third, or RSM3, was already deep into his investigation of Trump, when the researchers decided to take a closer look at the guy in an effort to discern his modus operandi and who his co-conspirators might be.


Taking the MSM’s narrative of who Bob Mueller is, one was left with the impression that Bob came from a solidly middle class background, and through perseverance, hard work and a reputation for fairness, rose through the ranks of the DOJ and FBI to eventually become FBI Director under George W. Bush. After only a slightly extra effort to look more closely at RSM3’s biography, it soon became clear that Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd, his parents, and his extended family belong to a very small and very elite group of Eastern Establishment “Old Money” Families, that are more akin to the extended British Royal family, but with significantly more power and influence, and significantly less necessity and desire to have the public acknowledge their existence, or exist at all. We prefer not to use the term, but the Mueller’s are the “Illuminati” that authors like David Ickes, or Hip Hop Stars like Jay Z and Kanye West have rapped about. Since “Illuminati” is a little too esoteric, and implies dark robes, chanting, and silly initiations, we’ll just say Robert Swan Mueller is a member of the “Deep State”, or one step higher, a “Founding Family member of the Deep State.” (Hillary Clinton is probably also Deep State, but she is a “self made” member, and was not born into her position of power. ie. She is not a Deep State Founder.)

The George Webb followers that decided to take a closer look at Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd, relatively quickly, noticed that he was a resident of Gibson Island, Maryland, and more interestingly, so was his father (Robert Swan Mueller the 2nd ) and grandfather (Robert Swan Mueller the 1st.) That the Mueller’s had a summer residence on an Island in the Chesapeake Bay is not a big deal and does not say much of who the Mueller’s are. The origins and development of Gibson Island say everything about the Mueller’s position in the Deep State’s pyramid shaped, organizational structure, which is at the top.

In the colonial times, up until the 1920’s Gibson Island was a sparsely populated spit of land, just north of Annapolis, and 20 miles south of Baltimore, that was used for farming, or as a base for local fisherman and duck hunters. The modern development of Gibson Island began in 1921 when William Stuart Symington, Jr. of Baltimore, bought the Island for $163,000.00 ($2.3 million in 2019 dollars.)



The development plans included the construction of residential homes (mostly for summer use) a golf club and a yacht club. Gibson Island was marketed as a place where wealthy families from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia could mingle with their own each summer, play golf and sail the expanses of Chesapeake Bay. As an Island, with only a small causeway from the mainland, Gibson provided the privacy the wealthy elite required, when planning a New World Order.

There are certainly other wealthy enclaves that have (and still do) separate the hoi-polloi from the riff- raff. Between Kennebunkport in Maine, and Jupiter Island, you have Martha’s Vineyard, Naushon Island, Nantucket and the Hamptons, for the Boston and New York crowds, the Northern Jersey Shore towns (Rumson, Monmouth Beach, Spring Lake) for other New Yorkers, Southern Jersey Shore Towns (Atlantic City, Cape May, Love Ladies) for the Philadelphia Main Liners, Hilton Head, Jekyll Island, and various other getaway places by the sea.

Gibson Island seems a little more special compared to the ones mentioned above. A number of the founding families and “early settlers” of Gibson either already were incredibly wealthy, such as the Rockefellers, the extended Dupont family, the Garretts, or had gotten rich from the US entry into World War One. Taking the cynical view, it looks like Gibson Island was developed as a vacation spot for World War 1 war profiteers, which among others, included the Walkers, Symingtons, Bakers and Muellers.

The Perfect Place to Plan a New World Order, and Get Rich Doing It


The conventional wisdom is that World War 1 started because some Serbian killed an Archduke causing all hell to break loose.

The conspiracy wisdom has it that the disciples of Cecil Rhodes secretly pushed the British and Germans into war in order to create a British led worldwide hegemony that would be comprised of its colonies and former colonies, including the United States.

There is no doubt there were a number American anglophiles, eager to assist their British Cousins and there is plenty of literature that goes into the broader idea. Carroll Quigley is considered the most authoritative expert on the subject. What ever the motivations of the British were, there is a decent amount of evidence to suggest US industrialists were eager to profit from the initial conflict (before the US entered) and after the US entered.

The Gibson Island founding families, mentioned above, certainly benefited from the WWI, and a few of us would argue that the money making did not stop after the Great War ended. The early Gibson Islanders, like the DuPonts and Bakers and Muellers made fortunes selling fertilizer chemicals, nitrates, phosphates, etc. used to manufacture ammunition and explosives, for example.

Over the next 100 years, the old idea of War profiteering remained a consistent theme. Those same companies also supplied most of the chemicals for WWII munitions. The various subsidiaries of Standard Oil (Rockefeller family) supplied petrochemicals to the British and Nazi’s, before the USA got involved, and eventually just the allies.

The development of the Gibson Island family businesses gets more interesting after World War 2. Whereas conventional chemicals were supplied to conventional weapons manufacturers before and during WW2, the effort to get American Industries into the nuclear weapons business may well have started on Gibson Island.

We will present more evidence of Gibson Island skulduggery in future posts. The proximity of Gibson Island to Annapolis is one of several interesting angles we plan to follow. It is worth noting that Gibson Island was home to a few Admirals and CIA/OSS characters. It also hosted some important annual conferences on nuclear and related technologies. Finally, its proximity to the Russian Retreat and holding areas for Paperclip Nazi’s makes one wonder how deep the Gibson Island Gang goes.

Mueller's First Cousin (once removed) Probably Helped Plan the JFK Assassination


Richard M. Bissell Jr. headed the CIA's Directorate for Plans from 1958 until President Kennedy fired him, General Charles P. Cabell and Allen Dullesafter the disastrous Bay of Pigs Invasion.

 
Allen Dulles, Richard Bissell, JFK, John McCone


During his service to the CIA, Bissell was instrumental in creating and executing the U2 Spy Plane Program. The U2 Spy Plane was a State of the Art Aircraft capable of flying at over 70,000 feet, which was above the ceiling of known Soviet missiles and interceptors. At the time, the U2 was considered untouchable.

Although the U2 could fly very high, and it's usefulness had proved itself many times during the 1950's and 1960's, the U2, was not a fast plane. By the late 1950's, Richard Bissell of the CIA, the Airforce and Lockheed, had already decided that the U2 would eventually need to be replaced. Development of the SR-71, capable of Mach 3, began at this time as a replacement for the U2.

The need for a new faster plane was enhanced on May 1, 1960. Pilot Francis Gary Powers was deep into Soviet Airspace on that day when a Soviet Surface to Air Missile finally got close enough to knock the Aircraft out of the Air. Gary Powers safely parachuted to the ground where he was taken prisoner by his Soviet hosts and held for approximately 21 months before he was exchanged for a Soviet spy held by the Americans.



Francis Gary Powers was never absolutely convinced a Missile brought down his U2. He had reason to believe sabotage brought his plane down and in later years, considered the possibility the October 1959 defection of Lee Harvey Oswald was connected to his downing some 5 months later.

In 1958 and 1959, Lee Harvey Oswald was a US Marine stationed in Japan. Lee Harvey was a Radar operator while stationed there and the base that he was at was used for the U2 Program. It is generally accepted that Lee new something about the U2 Program as it was his Job.

In 1959, the head of the CIA’s counter intelligence unit, James Jesus Angleton, was looking for a suspected Soviet Mole. James Jesus (“the Ghost”) came up with an elaborate idea to ferret out the mole and the funding, logistics and planning to find the mole were arranged by Richard Bissell. The plan involved sending a false defector to the Soviet Union, one who the KGB would have interest in as someone with knowledge of the U2 Spy Plane Program. Lee Harvey Oswald arrived in Moscow on October 16, 1959. He returned to the United States with his wife Marina in May 1962.

In the Interim, (April 1961) Bissell and his cohorts (Cabell and Dulles) had been fired by JFK for their execution of the Bay Of Pigs Invasion behind Kennedy's back.

JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963


Cuban Veterans from the Bay of Pigs and their CIA handlers, from other attempts to kill Castro, are believed to have comprised the kill teams. Lee Harvey Oswald was the Patsy.

Richard Bissell was in the unique position of having the ability to both arrange for an assassination team (Bay of Pig Cubans) and the Patsy (Lee Harvey Oswald), whom he had known from the U2 Program and his use in the False Defector Program.

Richard Bissell was the architect of the plan to assassinate JFK


In any event, Robert Mueller's mother was named Alice Truesdale.

>Her Father was Melville Douglas Truesdale. >His Sister was Marie Truesdale. (Aunt of Alice.) >Marie Truesdale married Richard M. Bissell Sr.. (Uncle of Alice) >Their son was Richard M. Bissell Jr. (First Cousin of Alice)


Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd, son of Alice, is therefore the First cousin once removed of Richard Bissell Jr., the man who planned the JFK Assassination.

Bonus Deep State Mueller Relation.


Mueller’s wife Ann Cabell Standish Mueller is distantly related to General Charles Cabell and his brother, Earle Cabell, the Mayor of Dallas in 1963.

The Apollo Affair, Missing Uranium and Katy Perry (Part 3)


As noted in Part 2, (Part 1, here) publicly traded equities can be used to launder illegally obtained money. The practice is harder now with modern laws and modern technology. However, before computers, new rules, regulations and laws, (pre-70s and 80s) it would have been much easier.

There are a few ways a criminal can launder money with publicly traded shares. (equity, stock, common stock, common equity are all used synchronously in these posts.)

Over the Counter (OTC) or Pink Sheet Stocks as a Money Laundering Tool


An OTC stock is a share than can be traded publicly that is not listed on a stock exchange. These are also known as Pink Sheet securities (prices used to printed on pink paper) and sometime “penny stocks” (pink stocks are often penny stocks, but do not have to be.) When we say “can be traded publicly” we mean the shares have been registered by the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1933. When we say “not listed on exchange”, we mean you can not call a Stock Exchange to buy or sell a Pink Sheet stock because it does not meet the requirements of the exchange to be traded there.)

Most of the mechanisms or “loopholes” described below have been closed, via new rules, laws, and monitoring capability. Nevertheless, they would have been available to criminals to launder large sums of money in the 1950’s and 1960's.

Physical Bearer Securities


Typically, physical stock certificates have the name of the owner (ie. John Smith, owner of 50 shares of Coca Coal Company.) If John Smith sells the shares to Larry Brown, the new name is recorded by the Transfer Agent. (The Transfer Agent keeps track of where Coke sends its dividends. Since Larry is now the owner, the he will receive the dividends, proxy statements, other notifications, and not John.) Bearer certificates do not have a name attached. “Criminal A” can give “Person B” the Bearer shares and receive cash. Simplified mechanics are shown below.

Shell Companies


The Criminal (syndicate, cabal, conspirators) has to have actual shares to give to the broker or person to receive money. The SEC registered shares of a “Shell Company” are often used. A Shell Company is often an existing company that no longer has any value. The basic actions are described below (ML = Money Laundering.)
Source: OTC "Pink Sheet" Securities and the Threat they Pose as a Money Laundering Vehicle to Broker-Dealers


San Toy Mining, Apollo Steel, American Nut and Bolt Fastener, Checking the Reverse Acquisition Boxes


San Toy Mining and Apollo Steel both “check the boxes” as ideal Shell companies that can both be used to launder money. They were once actively publicly traded companies, that by the 1950’s were operationally dormant and in the San Toy case, “with a former list of shareholders difficult to locate”, if not Apollo Steel as well.

The “list of shareholders difficult to locate” arises from the relative age of Apollo Steel and San Toy (both were formed in the early 1900s) and likely changes in State laws.

At a very basic level, the owners of San Toy Mining could have been in a position to exchange worthless San Toy Mining Shares for real cash or other consideration. The mechanics are actually more complex, and not entirely known, nevertheless, we do not know who the owners of San Toy were, which would have been the intent all along, in order to effect a successful money laundering scheme.

The graph below shows the basic money laundering mechanics using a publicly traded shell company. Step 2 shows the "Pump & Dump" competent, which is how the price of a worthless share can be inflated via stock/brokers, promoters, the rumor mill. Shear momentum will often drive the price of a share higher and the interim players do not necessarily need to be in on the "scam."


A Few More Crazy Days & Nights (CDAN) Blinds from last year


Friday, August 17, 2018

Why didn't he make it? One simple reason. He put his foot down and said he would call a press conference to tell the world what the producers were doing with the kids they were auditioning for no reason because the script didn't actually call for any kids to be in the movie. Oh, sure, they invented a couple background walk on type roles for the kids to appear in to make sure the parents were assuaged. Yeah, sorry you didn't know where your son was all day, but hey, good news he gets to be in the movie now.

This actor, who has never probably eclipsed B+ list was portrayed as a troublemaker for spreading the truth. He was effectively blacklisted by any and all people who were friends with the producers which was 75% of Hollywood. There was a group though who were not friends and they have kept the actor at least earning enough to make a living.

I can't even watch the film any longer because of what I know what was happening on the set. The actor said the multiple bedrooms used in scenes in the movie would often smell of cigars and booze because that is often where the producers would take the boys after their "tour" of the set. Our actor also says that every other actor on that film set knew what was going on but they valued their careers more than the horrors taking place.
Only one other person on set was willing to sacrifice their career and this foreign born actress did. When she walked out, she basically didn't work again for almost two decades.

From this website which offers crowds on demand.

"A popular fashion designer hired Crowds on Demand to further his brand and enhance the celebrity stature of his products to justify price increases and increase sales. At a series of fashion shows and product expos, we provided attractive and well-dressed attendees to create buzz for the designer and to impress top decision makers. They wore his clothes and came up to him and praised his work. This complemented our other approach of using paparazzi and “fans” to approach him when he went out on the town in major cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas and NYC. All of these strategies bolstered the designer’s image, leading to substantial coverage in TMZ, a doubling of his Twitter following, increased sales, and most importantly a lucrative deal with a major department store chain."

"A foreign government hired Crowds on Demand to help generate a positive reception for its newly elected leader during the UN General Assembly. The concern was ensuring that the leader was well received by a US audience and confident for his work at the UN. We created demonstrations of support with diverse crowds. We also used the media primarily local and national outlets to bring more attention to these demonstrations which led to a mostly positive portrayal. The crowds that we deployed drew in more supporters creating a strong presence for this leader at the UN and an improved perception of him by the American public."

Blind Item #15


She has survived for a long time in the rough and tumble world of politics and television. If you thought the current recording scandal is huge, just wait and see what happens if this former news person gets dumped or treated badly. One of her exes is at least one of the people who is getting copies of everything she has put together. My guess is she is using multiple people so all is not lost if one of the people is discovered.

The Apollo Affair, Missing Uranium and Katy Perry (Part 2)

In Part 1, we addressed the spurious connections to Katy Perry by way of her early 20th Century Industrialist great uncle Charles M. Schwab. We also introduced Apollo Industries and the companies it was formed from in the late 1950s. In this posting we critique the existing research that has been published regarding the Apollo Affair.


Spies are Going to Spy

The Research and Literature about the Apollo Affair is now relatively extensive. Through de-classifications, FOIA requests and inquiry, numerous documents have been released over the pat 10 years that clarify the story, which can be summarized as:

  1. Pro-Israel American nuclear scientists founded NUMEC in 1956; then
  2. Merged it with Apollo Industries in 1958; for the purposes of
  3. Diverting Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU); for
  4. The Israeli Nuclear Weapons program; and
  5. When it was discovered by the FBI, and/or Nuclear Industry Regulators/Military Intelligence, the CIA (or elements of the CIA) covered it up.
The conventional wisdom is that the Pro-Israeli Nuclear Scientists were working with Israeli spies (the Mossad) to facilitate the entire transaction and it looks like a lot of research has been devoted to proving that thesis.

In our view the effort to pin the Apollo Affair on the Mossad will hardly result in a "Eureka!" moment due to its obviousness. That Israeli intelligence would work to acquire nuclear weapon capabilities is hardly a surprise and pursuing that angle is counter-productive. Assigning blame to the Israeli's gets awfully close to touching the third rail and ending the discussion or halting furthering more research. 

The more interesting and important question is "who in the United States government or industry sold the HEU to the Israelis?" That is, under the assumption that Israeli spies (the Mossad) were doing what spies do, acquiring the secrets of another country (the USA), who cares about the motivations and key players on the Israeli side?

Treasonous actions on the part of American Citizens is more interesting and relevant. (Full disclosure, I am pro-Zionist and like the idea of Israel being able to defend itself. Also, I am Catholic, have never been to Israel, and think the pursuit of Israeli spies while trying to get to the bottom of the Apollo Affair is mostly a distraction to the extent the "pursuers" (writers, researchers, historians) can be cut off with charges of being Anti-Semitic, Anti-Zionist, etc..)

US Nuclear Secrets for Sale

Apollo, PA
As mentioned, there is plenty of information about how the HEU went out. Most of it seems to have disappeared from the NUMEC plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania (near Pittsburgh) between the time NUMEC merged with Apollo Industries in 1958, and 1965. 

However the HEU left the plant, fake shipping documents, concealed in other shipments, diverted through other foreign ports, discovering how the money flowed in for the HEU from the ultimate Israeli "customers" would answer the more important question of, who the actual sellers were on the American side? 

The "front" sellers on the American side were of course the officers and directors of NUMEC, including Zalman Shapiro, the original founder of NUMEC. It seems highly unlikely that Shapiro and the rest of the corporate officers were entirely in it for the money. That is, as an active and committed Zionist, it seems more likely Shapiro's primary motivation would be to help Israel defend itself (expand its borders, etc.), rather than make tons of money and sell out his home country, the USA, and probably eventually risk a visit to the electric chair.
Zalman Shapiro (1920-2016)
Born: Canton, OH
Johns Hopkins (BA '42/Phd '48)
Died:  Pittsburgh, PA

Even if Shapiro and his corporate cohorts were not motivated by the money, it would not surprise us if some people were. On the American side, their had to be agencies and organizations that were willing to look the other way. 

The fact that the CIA and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and probably some components of the Military helped in the cover-up after the HEU was discovered missing implies their were some beneficiaries in those agencies and/or military branches. Looking at Shapiro slightly differently, if he was acting on his own, on behalf of Israel, and was pocketing millions of dollars for his sole benefit, then we doubt the FBI would have any qualms about arresting a member of "The Tribe" him, and eventually giving him the "Rosenberg" treatment.

How to Launder Millions of Dollars or Otherwise Conceal the Deal

The HEU definitely went out. How much, why, when, and how it left the NUMEC plant to eventually end up in Israel (likely the Dimona plant in the Negev Desert) is generally understood. 


Someone definitely got paid. The how much, why, when and how, concerning the money that the Israeli's used to purchase the HEU, is not generally understood and it hardly looks like those questions have been asked.

Briefly, money does not necessarily mean “cash.” A better word than money is “consideration.” How much and what was the “consideration” that Israel paid to purchase a few hundred pounds of HEU from the NUMEC plant near Pittsburgh, roughly between 1958 and 1965. Consideration could include actual cash, but also, publicly traded equity (common and preferred shares), private equity, private loans, bonds and notes issued by the corporation, bonds issued by the US Government and other third parties (sovereign bonds, other corporations), hard assets (a fleet of ships, gold bars) soft assets (royalties and rights) and virtually anything else that has value. 

Some forms of consideration are easier to transfer as payment for “goods and services” than others. It is physically easier to transfer shares of publicly traded equity as payment than it is to transfer ownership of a fleet of ships, or physically deliver gold, or suitcases of cash. The same holds for publicly traded and registered bonds and some rights (options, futures and warrants.)

Moving publicly traded equity can still be done relatively anonymously. In the 1950s and 1960s, it would have been much easier. Today, computer’s allow regulators and brokerage compliance departments to monitor and flag suspicious transactions between the firm and a counter-party or directly between counter-parties. The lack of rules regarding insider sales, reporting and disclosure requirements for insiders, and a whole host of other laws, regulations and internal policies, made it much easier to move shares anonymously in those days, compared to today, and it is still done today.

In Part 3 of this series, we will take a closer look at the transaction mechanics involved in using public shares to move money (consideration) anonymously and the roll NUMEC’s predecessor companies could play in the process.

The Epstein Style Blackmail of President Woodrow Wilson - Bush & Mueller Connections Now and Then

We've spent a decent amount of time looking into the motivations behind the push to oust President Trump. We feel pretty confident the Deep State's need to get rid of Trump goes well beyond policy differences between Democrats and Republicans. The Deep State wants to get rid of Trump because he is a real threat to their 100+ year old "franchise."

The "franchise" is the ownership of certain key industries and the cash those industries generate, which allows for a high degree of political influence and the control of non-business institutions (academia, foundations, religious denominations.) High levels of political influence and control of institutions protect or allow the franchise to grow.

A number of authors, both esteemed academics, like Professor Carrol Quigley, and cranks, have argued that the owners of the franchise are not some amorphous collection of businessmen acting independently at a particular point in time because of similar or naturally aligned economic interests. Rather, some of the esteemed and the less than esteemed, authors have argued that those businessmen actively collude and conspire in secret. They have done so through organizations such as the Milner Group, Rhodes Roundtable, the Council on Foreign Relations, Skull & Bones and other secret societies.

As Quigley and others have pointed out, the World War I era provided a springboard for the owners of the franchise. We would argue that the out-sized profits earned during the World War I era for a leap in control of important industries, politicians and underlying government bureaucracies, and the non-business/non-government institutions.

Was Woodrow Wilson a Victim of Kompromat?


It looks like WWI was viewed by a loose confederation of industrialists and a few families with vast amounts of inherited wealth as the perfect opportunity to obtain permanent financing for the franchise. Aside from the mainstream view as to how and why WWI was started, and how and why the USA decided to enter the war, there is a decent amount of literature that Woodrow Wilson was essentially under the control of the industrialists and wealthy families. We have heard the argument that Wilson was under control for the simple reason that he was not all that bright and was a pushover. Another argument is that Wilson was blackmailed as noted in the last paragraph below. (Wilson being both "blackmailable" and a "dunce" is also believable.)

  

Original Owners of The Franchise are Still in the Blackmail Business


Every once in a while, a family wealth adviser will throw out the anecdote that most wealthy families will exhaust all of their money within three generations. That is, the heirs of the average wealthy industrialist in 1900 will have usually wasted, squandered, spent whatever they inherited by 1975 (there is no standard for years in a generation [roughly 20 to 30 years].)

Given the ability of heirs, in general, to squander, seeing the same family names associated with both the Woodrow Wilson Administration and Donald Trump Administration leads us to speculate, or even narrow down, who the owners of the Franchise were, and remain.

We don't hear much about Thomas Fortune Ryan much anymore (mentioned above as a financial supporter of Wilson) but the heirs and relatives of his associates are still coming up with plots to protect their positions of power and the broader colluding corporate franchise.

Thomas F. Ryan was one of the founders of the American Tobacco Company with James Buchanan Duke. He was also one of the founders of The Belgian American Coke Ovens Corp.

The Belgian American Coke Ovens Corp. is kind of an obscure sounding company and we are still looking into its origins and what became of it. Nevertheless, it was well capitalized ($143 million in 2019 dollars) at its founding in 1921 and its organizers consist of some of the wealthiest and most influential bankers and industrialists at the time.

Aside from Thomas F. Ryan, George Herbert Walker Bush's grandfather was a board member. The "prominent Belgians" mentioned worked for the Rothschild Bank and then there is Hector Prud'homme. The Prud'homme family is connected through marriage to the Bissell family (Richard Bissell was CIA Director of Plans at the CIA until fired by JFK over the Bay of Pigs debacle.)

Richard Bissell Jr. is also the first cousin once removed from Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd.

Triple Conspiracy Special. Before Epstein's Island, there was that Beach House in Solona, California. Trump Coup! Iran/Contra! JFK Assassination!

The idea the Epstein Island was a "honeypot", where the CIA or the Mossad or the Saudi's, Bush's, Clinton's, etc. could maintain their power grip by compromising politicians is not new, though likely more sophisticated and depraved. It was a sub-plot in The God Father 2 (or GF-1, feel free to correct.)

"Never get caught with a live boy or a dead girl", as the saying goes.

The Playboy Mansion was also believed to be a honeypot for politicians and actors that were probably getting to full of themselves for the studio bosses back in the 60's, 70's and 80's.


The level of sophistication has no doubt "improved" since the '60s and '70s. Technology made it easier to both record the activities more surreptitiously and distribution is of course easier with the Internet.

We're are guessing the level of depravity has increased since the Playboy Mansion's "hey-day."

In the 1950s and '60s, a picture of a legal age Bunny canoodling with a corporate executive might have been enough to compromise the businessman. ie. "I'll do anything, just don't show my wife, she will divorce me and we'll be kicked out of Bushwood."

As social norms became more liberal, trying to blackmail a man of importance by threatening to expose an extramarital affair, was not going to cut it.

By the '70s and '80s, exposing a homosexual affair between consenting adults probably wasn't as impactful as a blackmail threat as it was in the '50s and '60s.

One can imagine that at some point the blackmailers started using children. Maybe that was Epstein's contribution to the blackmail industry.

There is probably another level after that. After all, how do you blackmail a Saudi Sheikh who already has four wives under the age of 16?

There was that Beach House in Solona, California

One of the conspirators in the attempt to take out Trump has been around a long time. Stefan Halper was a key player in the Iran/Contra Scandal from back in the 1980s.

As the excerpt below shows, Halper was involved in the S&L Scandal as a founder of Palmer National Bank. The bank owned the note on a Beach House in Solona, California  that looks like it was used as a honeypot.




PETE BREWTON, OF THE HOUSTON POST STAFF
HOUSTON POST; FINAL Section: National Page: A1

SUNDAY June 10, 1990

 ...Palmer National co-founder Stefan Halper helped set up North's legal defense fund. Halper's name appears in the final entry of North's White House journal under the heading, "Legal Defense Fund."
 Palmer National held a $250,000 note on a California beach house that was used by organized crime associates and figured in the criminal convictions of two S&L figures.
  Palmer National, a relatively small bank with assets under $100 million, occupies a modern building at 1667 K St. N.W....
..... 
Stefan Halper
...Dixon is not believed to be a suspect in the case, however investigators say he purchased the services of 20 call girls, including victim Donna Gentile, for a party at his Solana Beach, Calif., the San Diego Union reported. The nude body of Gentile -- her mouth stuffed with rocks -- was found the day after the two-day party concluded, sources told the newspaper....
Whether or not the beach house was used in the same manner as Epstein's Island retreat, the connection to Halper and his other activities involving Iran/Contra, CIA ops. and dubious financial partners provides some context to his role in pushing the "Russian Dossier" to take out President Trump.




Palmer National Bank's Financial Sponsor was an associate of George Herbert Walker Bush and Carlos Marcello


One of Palmer National Bank's early sources of financing was from Herman K. Beebe Sr.. Beebe was a key figure in the S&L crises through his ownership and/or self-dealing that caused the collapse of several Texas banks in the 1980's. It is believed he helped fund Iran/Contra and related Mena, Arkansas activities through some of these banks and is otherwise known to have raised money for "Poppy" Bush's campaigns over the years.

Carlos Marcello
...Beebe is alleged to have ties to New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello, and the Post reported ties between Beebe and Renda, a New York money broker who allegedly is associated with the Gambino and Lucchese crime families in New York. Link to article Oct. 8, 1988.

Carlos Marcello is often considered to have been a key player in the JFK Assassination.
Vaccara’s important book identifies Carlos Marcello, the powerful Mafia chief of New Orleans, as the mandante of the assassination, its chief organizer. Marcello – born Calogero Minacori in Tunis, to Sicilian parents....  Link to Article Mar. 20, 2014.

This is a huge break in the investigation. She was still married to him and she received some new information from three people about the death of this A list celebrity. That information has now caused police in the country where the death occurred to question their initial determination of suicide.

The twisted f**k of the day goes to this A list celebrity who arranged with the billionaire molester for a sexual fantasy. Apparently a teen was hired who was no more than 16 and could have been as young as 13 or 14 to pretend to be a Jewish prisoner in a concentration camp. Yeah, it went like you would expect. The contract employee who overheard a great deal of it, quit and even called the police, but they refused to do anything because the billionaire pays many of the spouses of the police officers six figures a year for "consulting" work.

ePSTEIN & sPACEY

You know what has not been discussed the past few days? How this foreign born convicted child molester/child porn producer managed to run around the world basically unimpeded. Even after he was brought in by the feds to supposedly help them out, there he was, gone again in an instant. That former head of an agency had a whole lot to do with it. Don't ever kid yourself that a child pornographer wouldn't be allowed to run free if someone high up decided it would be in the best interests of the higher up. Drug runners are allowed to go free. Killers are allowed to go free. You think someone molesting kids and filming them having sex mattered to this agency head? Was the higher up given money or information to let the child molester run free? I don't know, but the hundreds, if not thousands of kids abused in that network need answers.

Most Guesses are George Nader (Mueller witness as the pornographer and james comey as the higher up.)

In this day and age of full transparency, there is one operation the CIA ran that has still not been revealed. It wasn’t so much to accomplish a mission but to test out a theory on popularity and celebrity. Many years ago, a plan was hatched to see if a celebrity could be created, that is an intelligence operative become a celebrity and then the long term plan was to sue this person to mould public opinion the way that that the intelligence agencies wish. As a test, a young military intelligence agent took a new name and identity even changing his country of origin. He had the look and they made the connections and soon he was in films achieving leading man status. His rise was quick as was his almost complete disappearance five or six years later going from Hollywood films to the occasional TV show appearance and straight to video movies coupled with years of no activity at all. This was due to changing priorities at the CIA as well as the feeling they had proved their point so he was given a huge pension and allowed to pursue acting when he felt like it but without the supercharged backing. He was so into the role that he didn’t say a word about it to any of his partners (one of whom was a very famous female sex symbol to a certain generation) before his death. It’s ironic because one of his leading man roles in his heyday was in this film where identity was a theme.

A Bunch of Crazy Day's and Nights (CDAN) Blinds Saved Over a Year Ago

SourceURL: http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2018/07/blind-item-10-badlands-birdie-blind-item.html

Blind Item #10 - Badlands - A Birdie Blind Item

Yes, the original reporting barely scratched the surface of this twenty year old murder, which received more than national attention. As the contrarian who wrote a book on the subject said, there were drugs involved - both the victim and the two perps used and dealt them. But in the end it was about the author's other discovery, which is to say an ongoing casual relationship (of a certain kind) between the victim and one of the perps, as well as (I'll add) the two perps, both of whom were deeply ashamed to be half this way.

Enter a third party, known to the victim, but who wanted in with the circle that included the two perps (which is to say their connection), as well as the victim and perps' turf. He was the man who caught the one perp together with the victim on the outskirts of town. They didn't see him, but he saw them, and later he told the perp that the victim had been outing him to everyone they knew. No, that never happened. But you all know what happened next.

Afterward, the survivor - by which I mean the person in this story who didn't end up dead or in prison - became the Walter White of this one state, and parts of neighboring states. To this day, he still jokes about his "hostile takeover."

Blind Item #9 - Trafficking

Want to traffic tweens and teens? Need a great cover? Well, this A list mostly movie actor and his very rich friend seem to have figured out the perfect way. Use a charity to disguise all your movements. That very rich friend has the A lister wrapped around her finger because she has provided him with those barely legal Eastern European women for well over a decade. Yes, while he was married too. The very rich friend has lots and lots of connections in Eastern Europe. Those teens and barely legal women get sent on "humanitarian missions" to this Caribbean country. Then, with the help of friendly government officials in the Caribbean country are given passports from that country and birth certificates. Then, using a special program they get to visit the US. Of course those visits are really just a way to sell them off to the highest bidders which invariably are sex traffickers. Meanwhile, that same Caribbean country rounds up orphans from their own country and ships them off to that Eastern European country where they are then sent throughout Europe and the Middle East where they end up working as slaves and sex workers for years and years.

Another link. Another hey there is nothing to see here to the press who will go quietly into that good night and do and report what they are told, especially with the secrets act in that country. A dinner for two between two former in-laws. A subtle spiking of a drink and then this foreign born former A- list model/keeper of secrets/reality star passes away. 


Blind Item #16

As I told you and revealed, this former A list spokesperson has set in motion what would normally be a ridiculous motion to get freed. In this case however, it will be granted and his sentence reduced or commuted because of the information he provided.

Blind Item #8 - The End - A Birdie Blind Item

I guess it isn't surprising that this director got it so wrong - the ending, I mean - because it wouldn't be the first time, or last, but he does have a reputation for trying to get to the truth about things. What you saw in the movie was little more than an epilogue. The real end happened, unceremoniously, let alone mysteriously, in a dirty stall of the men's room in this capital city bar. He was an expert drinker, but a novice with this other drug - supplied in this case by a man who was depicted in a famous movie from the same year. His darkest vice? He liked to watch people die, often lacing the special bags with more powerful substances. He checked on the victim several times, taking pictures each time. Finally, the body was found by the man's drinking buddy, and a doctor happened to be present, pronouncing him dead. (You may have already heard him tell his side of the story. A famous model was there too.) Because of the bar's underworld connections, and the country's harsh drug laws at the time, the body was moved to another location - the one in the movie. Bribes were paid to the appropriate authorities - there would be no autopsy - and the man was quickly buried in town.

Today's Blind Items - The Patron

I think of him as more of an investor, but that is not the right word. What is the right word is that this patron of the Church should be in fear of his life. Apparently it has been discovered that this person all of you know now, but may not have known even a few months ago created a shell company many years ago and used the proceeds of a company all of you know to buy some property in the state where he grew up in. Yes, the property where the Church has its headquarters. None of this would probably have ever been discovered if not for the events of the past month or two. Apparently though, someone close to our Patron did discover the purchase and then asked too many questions. Presumably, they didn't like the answers given. The Patron probably should be careful hanging out with that person who was just an intern last year and is now a full time hookup. Wouldn't want them caught up in the dangerous game our Patron is playing right now.

Blind Item #4 - A Birdie Blind Item

Which first term US politician is apparently so important she can't wait five minutes for a pregnant federal judge with morning sickness to get out of the restroom to meet about sex trafficking of unaccompanied minors? I guess that lunch date with some of her celebrity donors was of greater concern than abused children. Not to be outdone, the judge's penultimate boss wants to have her removed from the bench for exposing the fact that many of the unaccompanied minors are not fleeing but have been sent, which is to say bought and paid for by wealthy men in LA, New York, and elsewhere. It's all been arranged through a multinational organization that's been in the news recently. Obviously, the boss wants to talk about the organization, as does his own. But identifying the kids as trafficking victims, rather than as members, is bad for the narrative.

Sounds like Kamala. And yes, recent developments have caused serious complications for human trafficking across the southern border.

Four For Friday - Cold Blooded

This former actress that all of you know really focuses on business now. That is what she does on a daily basis and doesn't really act any longer. She and one of her business partners in the past few years did some favors for the President of a country. In return, they were given citizenship in that country. The pair have remained very friendly with the President which is why they will probably never be charged for the hiring of some men to kill a rival businessperson/celebrity. They wanted what the businessperson/celebrity owned and that person wouldn't sell. So, our actress and her partner hired some people to kill the businessperson/celebrity. The person, was in fact killed. Nothing will happen to our former actress and her business partner except, they will now get the business they wanted at a much lower price.

Blind Item #8

Wanting to get this investigation over with as soon as possible so people would stop talking about it, the autopsy of this celebrity was rushed to the point of ridiculousness. No one was willing to even sign on to the faked report so the head of the ministry in charge of it just forged a signature.

Today's Blind Items - Account Number 37911133339

Over the weekend, the head of this company, who had never been seen in person at this particular location showed up in the middle of the night. He had called ahead and the highest ranking person still left at this business was told to be there for the meeting. He instructed that no one else be there. The urgency was dictated because of multiple deaths that happened a short time before involving two very key employees of this company. Those two employees were in charge of the account number mentioned in the title.

That account number was established several years ago when the new owner bought out the original owner. It was an internal billing account, but the bills were never paid. They were never supposed to be paid. It was simply to keep track of a special group of clientele who are friends of the owner. The problem was that after the death of the two employees, one of the clientele showed up at the business with two very young women he said were his nieces and said he had a reservation. He used the name associated with that account. The problem is these clientele were always processed by the two dead employees. They were not always there in person but would arrange that all the formalities would be taken care of beforehand so whatever clientele were there could get on with their activities quickly.

When this man showed up with his nieces who really looked nothing like each other or the man and were really young to be wearing what they were wearing, calls were made. Did anyone know about the reservation and then someone looked up the history of the name associated with the account and sent a group e-mail asking about the reservation and included the account number in the e-mail. The man and his nieces were not given a room because none of them had or were willing to produce identification or a method of payment. The man explained that no payment was ever required because it was handled through Mr. Weishaupt. No one at the company had ever heard of Mr. Weishaupt and another group e-mail was sent inquiring about Mr. Weishaupt.

Only a few hours later, the call was made by the man who came in the middle of the night. Was it Mr. Weishaupt? I don't know. The person who told me all of this only caught a glimpse of the man as he left the next morning trailed by that highest ranking employee available at the company. The person who spoke to me is adamant that the previous owner didn't have a special account number. The employees had been trying to recall anyone they remembered who had used the account number or name when they checked in.

One person several people agreed on because he had been there multiple times using the name was this A+ list mostly movie actor who lives most of the year overseas. He also likes to direct. He is also an Academy Award winner. The staff just assumed he liked his privacy and it was a fake name. It wasn't until now, they realized he was using the same name as the man with his nieces. Whenever the A+ lister came, he always came without his wife and would only stay a few hours. No one saw anyone who came with him, but it seemed like given the circumstances he was meeting someone who would come to see him.

This A+ list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner and is known all over the world used the name too. Someone remembered she stayed a week when she was in hiding and some of her employees would come by and have no idea they were supposed to use that name to see her or contact her.

The staff said the name was used a lot, but mostly by men who had a woman or women with them. There was one man they remembered because he stuck out. He was an older white man and he would often come with young black men and also would only stay an hour or two. I think I know who that person is and have written about him before, but no one remembered exactly what he looked like and he wasn't using his real name so it is tough. There are rumors that the man behind it all has big time professional sports interests.

One thing is certain. Any trace of that account number is gone from every system the staff can get into.
