The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination w/ Dr. Walt Brown

Bob Wilson Interview with Shane O'Sullivan March 24, 2014 New York, NY http://garyrevel.com/jfk/shane.html Shane O'Sullivan has shared the benefit of his insights into the murders of both John and Bobby Kennedy. Shane has given us the book 'Who Killed Bobby' (Union Square Press, 2008), and the accompanying documentary R.F.K. MUST DIE (E2 Films, 2007). Now Shane takes an in depth look into Lee Harvey Oswald, in his new documentary OSWALD MUST DIE' (E2 Films 2013). The documentary offers interviews with some of the most important investigators into the topic covered. John Newman, David Kaiser, Dick Russell, Joan Mellen, and archival footage with Oswald confidante George DeMohrenschildt are voices that cannot be left unheard in gauging the events in question. O'Sullivan has brought them all together in one film that no concerned citizen can afford to ignore. Shane was kind enough to take the time to answer some questions we had regarding his overall work, and KILLING OSWALD. (Note: 'Killing Oswald' can be seen as a stream online at the VIMEO site). #1. Care to comment on District Attorney Henry Wade responding to the press that concerns about Oswald's safety will be handled with special precautions just before he was assassinated? I think you mean Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry. His interviews that weekend are very interesting. He seems genuinely bewildered by what is happening and lets it slip early on that the FBI had been tracking Oswald. His later interview with Peter Dale Scott in 1977 suggests he felt there was a conspiracy and was never satisfied with the WC conclusion. #2. Oswald worked as a Marine with the U2 flights, and worked after returning from defecting to the Soviet Union at Jaggers-Chiles-Stovall. Please comment what "Jaggars" did, and on how Oswald was living basically around intelligence matters most of his adult life. Jaggers-Chiles-Stovall specialised in typographic services. They added type to maps for the Department of Defence and some of this work involved classified maps of Cuba. Oswald seems to have used the photographic equipment at work to make some of his ID cards and possibly print copies of the famous backyard photos. Oswald was a very odd choice for the job given his background as a Soviet defector. #3. When Oswald defected to Russia, John Newman said he may have been on a mission to ferret out a "mole". Can you tell us about that, and also on how easily Oswald returned to America after defecting? The CIA knew there was a mole in the U2 program and may have used Oswald's defection as a "dangle" to find out who the mole was. Oswald actually had to wait a long time for the Soviets and the US Embassy in Moscow to process the papers for his return with Marina and their baby daughter. But the way Oswald was treated on his return to the U.S. s a defector was very unusual. The CIA claims they never debriefed him and the FBI only showed brief and belated interest, suggesting they knew he was not really a communist subversive but something else. #4. The footage you had with George DeMohrenschildt was fascinating. Who was DeMohrenschildt, and was he a likely companion for someone fitting the description of who the Warren Commission said Oswald was supposed to be? I had access to a six-hour audio interview De Mohrenschildt gave Dutch journalist Willem Oltmans in 1968 and I found that fascinating. I think he was a source of intelligence on Oswald for the CIA through J. Walton Moore and seemed to work for a number of intelligence agencies. Ultimately, though, he moved to Haiti in May 1963, so he was out of the picture when the assassination plot got going. He knew Oswald was a patsy and that he'd played some part in his downfall. #5. Someone seemed to be impersonating Oswald at the Russian and Cuban embassies in Mexico City. John Newman seems to believe this is the key to the cover-up. Please tell us about that, and what kind of shock waves that would cause after President Kennedy's assassination? At least two telephone calls were made to the Soviet embassy by an Oswald impersonator after Oswald's visits to the Russian and Cuban embassies. In one of those calls, Silvia Duran was also impersonated. I agree that whoever was behind those impersonations was likely involved in the assassination as the transcripts of these calls create the legend of Oswald the Marxist contacting these Communist embassies and meeting a Soviet assassinations expert in the months before Dallas. #6. Please tell us a bit about Antonio Veciana, and his recent revelations. The footage of him in the film with him speaking so candidly was enlightening, and 'worth the price of admission'. When I met Veciana in November 2006, he was refreshingly open about his life and efforts against Castro and also quite sure that the plot against JFK came from within and was partly directed by CIA. He said he would keep his promise to Maurice Bishop not to reveal his true identity until the day he died but thankfully, Gaeton Fonzi's widow Marie helped convince him to recently out David Atlee Phillips as the man he met with Oswald in Dallas. #7. Can you tell us about the life of David Atlee Phillips, and what role he seems to have played in the assassination? The film includes never-before-seen footage of Phillips at the wedding of Win Scott, the CIA's station chief in Mexico City at the time of the assassination as well as declassified audio from Phillips' HSCA testimony on the Mexico City tapes. If a CIA officer had a hand in the assassination, he is the most likely candidate and he hinted as much in his unpublished outline for a novel, The AMLASH Legacy. Phillips' son told me his father was in Mexico City on November 22, 1963 but the impersonation of Oswald in Mexico City, CIA operations targeting Fair Play for Cuba, the DRE tangle with Oswald in New Orleans and the Oswald-was-working-for-Castro propaganda campaign after the assassination all point in the direction of Phillips. #8. Joan Mellon and others mention a 'J.Walton Moore' a few times in the film. Perhaps you could fill those who have not heard of him before onto who he is, and his link to George DeMohrenschildt. Moore was in charge of the CIA's Domestic Contacts office in Dallas and asked De Mohrenschildt to check Oswald out. #9. Did you have to edit anything for the sake of time that you may want to tell us about here? For instance, did you think of mentioning the way that George DeMohrenschildt died? Yes, that was one subject I didn't have time for as I really didn't want the film to go beyond two hours for the casual viewer. I'm not convinced De Mohrenschildt was murdered as he does seem to have been hounded by Willem Oltmans in the months before his death. I visited the Oltmans archives in Holland and he was a very eccentric individual who could have pushed De Mohrenschildt towards despair. He had split from his wife and was now facing the prospect of having to go through a round of HSCA testimony after very traumatic Warren Commission testimony. In interviews after his death, his daughter said he was very mentally fragile before he died, exhausted. #10. Oswald was said to have taken a shot at General Edwin Walker. Can you tell us who he was, and your perceptions on his appearance in these events? General Walker resigned his army commission after being disciplined by JFK and Robert McNamara for indoctrinating his troops with anti-Communist propaganda. The idea that Oswald shot at both Walker and JFK, at opposite ends of the political spectrum, doesn't make any sense to me. Oswald's political writings certainly suggest Walker could have been a target of his and I tend to believe that Oswald did shoot at Walker, making it highly unlikely that Oswald then shot at JFK. Walker was a major supporter of the anti-Castro cause and I find his connections to Cuban exiles like Loran Hall fascinating. I think Walker may have known the anti-Castro Cubans who set up Oswald. #11. One of the most fascinating players in this story is Richard case Nagell. I think he alone may someday be worthy of a documentary. Can you tell us about Nagell, and Dick Russell's role in researching him? Dick Russell's The Man Who Knew Too Much is probably my favourite book on the JFK assassination. Although there is little hard evidence for Nagell's story - the photo and tape of Oswald have never been found - I find the scenario Nagell gave Dick Russell the most convincing explanation for how Oswald was framed. Namely, that Oswald was a sincere pro-Castro Marxist framed by anti-Castro Cubans pretending to be on his side. This also fits with what John Martino said just before he died about Oswald being set up as a patsy. #12. David Kaiser receives a lot of camera time in your film. Can you tell us about his background in JFK research, and how you came to ask him to participate? I found myself going back to his book a lot because we were interested in the same figures - John Martino, Loran Hall, George De Mohrenschildt. I think he's unfairly dismissed by a lot of researchers because he thinks Oswald was the shooter in a Mob-organised conspiracy. But if you accept the confession of John Martino, the Mob obviously were involved to some extent even if the plot was masterminded by CIA officers and/or anti-Castro Cubans. David Kaiser's research is meticulous and he presents it very clearly. I don't agree with him on everything but he was able to get key points of a very complicated story across concisely. #13. Not many realize that the HSCA ruled in the late 1970's that therevwas a 'likely conspiracy' in both the JFK and MLK murders. that is not often mentioned in the major media. Can you tell us about their efforts? While the HSCA investigation was compromised by G. Robert Blakey's preconceived idea of Mafia involvement, some terrific work was done on Oswald in Mexico City by Ed Lopez and Dan Hardway, and Gaeton Fonzi worked with Antonio Veciana to tease out the whole Maurice Bishop scenario. Of course, those called to testify before the HSCA began to drop like flies but the most important legacy of the investigation are the HSCA files, which were released in the nineties under the JFK Records Act. #14. You have done an excellent book and documentary on the RFK murder as well. Can you tell us if you have found any new information on RFK since those projects? And is anything going on in that case today? Sirhan's attorneys Bill Pepper and Laurie Dusek are still waiting for a ruling on Sirhan's Habeas Corpus Petition. The evidence of 13 shots on the Pruszynski recording and the testimony of Dr. Dan Brown on Sirhan as Manchurian Candidate make for a very strong case, I think. I also have a lead on the girl in the polka-dot dress I'm pursuing. Bob Wilson Bob is an investigative journalist and prolific writer of articles related to music artists and assassinations.

Rendezvous with Death - Why John F. Kennedy Had to Die от: OlegKramskiChannel Published: November20, 2011 http://rutube.ru/video/99c6e922689c87eaf7367c893d418417/

Pat, Here’s some additional detail: WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 2010 Robert S. Strauss: In His Own Words http://dailstrug.blogspot.com/2010/07/robert-s-strauss-in-his-own-words.html How did Lyndon Johnson handle this shocking development? Robert Strauss: He called my law partner, Irving Goldberg, who was very close to Johnson and Mrs. Johnson. As a matter of fact, I think he was their lawyer, and Irving had been on his staff for a while. Johnson called him from the plane, and he asked Irv, "What do I do about being sworn in? Should I do it here or there or wait until I get to Washington?" And Irv was wise enough to say, "You don't need to be sworn in. You are president, but you ought to be sworn in in a very public way, where the world will see you, see the power changing, because they need to know there is continuity here." And Johnson said, "I agree. Who should do it?" And Irv said, "I'll get Barefoot." Barefoot Sanders had an Indian name, but he had also just been appointed U.S. Attorney by Johnson, "He'll locate Judge Sarah Hughes," who was also a Johnson appointee. Luckily, they found the right people, and that's how that all happened. Johnson said to him, "You get out here for this swearing in," but when he got to the airport they said, "Oh, you can't go in there." Irv was too shy, and he didn't throw his weight around or say, "Call the plane, you'll find out." So he just stayed out and went on back home. That's the story. A day I'll never forget.

NoW offered hacking reporter 'crude' deal to keep job by not spreading blame Former royal editor told he would only be sacked if he said others were involved in phone hacking, Old Bailey told By Lisa O'Carroll theguardian.com, Wednesday 19 March 2014 12.34 EDT The News of the World's former royal editor accused a company lawyer of offering a "crude carrot and stick" deal which would see him keep his job if he did not allege others were involved in phone hacking, the Old Bailey has heard. Clive Goodman, testifying in the phone-hacking trial on Wednesday, also accused the News International lawyer of trying to "dictate lines of defence" following his arrest on suspicion of phone hacking in 2006. Goodman said he found the lawyer's actions "inappropriate and just a bit shocking" and more "threatening" than the prosecution case lined up against him. He claimed the News International lawyer had effectively ambushed him in a private legal meeting, telling him he would only be sacked if he said others on the paper were involved or knew about phone hacking. Goodman produced a previously unseen email between himself and his lawyer, Henri Brandman, complaining about a News International lawyer who had gatecrashed a meeting he had had with his barrister in December 2006. The meeting between Goodman and his lawyers – Brandman and counsel John Kelsy Fry, QC – had been arranged to discuss the case and the mitigation defence ahead of a meeting with the probation service and sentencing. Goodman had pleaded guilty on 29 November to hacking the phones of members of the royal household but had specifically said the News International lawyer was only to be present at part of the meeting. He told jurors that the News International lawyer arrived early and sat in on a discussion he had not been invited to. "We got to the part of the meeting where I said I fully expected to be sacked by News of the World. At that point he interrupted and said that was not the case," Goodman said. "Again, he said it would only happen if you blame others, if you do that, you can't really expect Andy [Coulson, the editor] to take you back." Following the meeting on 12 December 2006, Goodman fired off a letter to Brandman protesting at the News International lawyer's, behaviour describing his presence as "most unhelpful". "He arrived while we were in full flow to deliver a fairly crude carrot and stick from the NoW," he wrote. "As the newspaper has no voice at our mitigation/sentencing hearing on January 26 I found the attempt to dictate lines of our defence highly inappropriate and just a bit shocking." He continued: "I do not wish to see any NoW representative at future meetings or for them to receive updates on the progress of the case, or for them to sit with us on the day. "I felt more threatened by the message he was asked to deliver today than I have been by much of the prosecution case." Previously jurors heard that Kelsy Fry had advised Goodman that a judge might take "a positive view of someone standing up and taking responsibility for their actions". Goodman said this "echoed" advice he had been given by Brandman. Goodman in the event pleaded guilty and did not implicate any others in his mitigation statement used ahead of sentencing. He was sentenced to four months in prison on 26 January 2007. On 5 February that year he was sacked by the News of the World. "I learned of it in a phone call from my wife," he said. He was released on a tag in late February and in March launched an appeal against his dismissal citing five reasons as to why it was unfair. Among them was a claim that others on the paper had been hacking phones and had not been sacked, and that the editor and a News International lawyer had "promised on a number of occasions that I could come back to the newspaper if I did not implicate any other staff". Goodman had an internal appeal hearing on 20 March 2007. He did not have legal representation but said there were "47 inaccuracies" in the notes taken of the meeting by News International and distributed to various parties. Some were so bad as to "reverse the truth" Goodman told jurors. Little more than a week later he was invited to meet Rebekah Brooks, who was then editor of the Sun. She offered him a six-month contract to work on "bookzines" – glossy supplements on subjects including the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's death. He was offered £12,500 for the work but felt it was not a "serious job offer". Goodman told the jury of a second internal hearing on 10 May with the company's human resources chief Daniel Cloke and the News of the World's new editor, Colin Myler. Again, he did not have legal representation but recorded the meeting covertly. On 30 May 2007, he was formally notified that his appeal against his dismissal was rejected. He then discussed his situation with an employment specialist lawyer Tony Lorenzo, at Lewis Silkin. Goodman settled with News International later in 2007 after being offered £140,000. Four years later he was arrested again but told jurors that he gave a no comment interview because of leaks to the Guardian. He read about his pending arrest the night before. "It did not come as a great surprise to me that the police would be turning up the next day at dawn to arrest me." He said when he was at the police station, he learned during a break that the Guardian had more details of the "green books", the royal telephone directories he was suspected of paying for and the amount he had supposedly paid for them. "That doubly encouraged me not to give any kind of comment," said Goodman. Goodman said he initially felt "very sore" about the way he had been treated by Coulson, who was his friend, but that he no longer felt hostile towards him. He said his negative feelings towards him faded in prison which he described as "a good place to think". Goodman has not been charged with hacking offences but denies two other charges that he paid public officials to obtain royal telephone directories. The trial continues

Why has the U.S. targeted Malaysia for retribution, leading to speculation about the role of the U.S. in the missing Malaysian plane? Because of the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuala_Lumpur_War_Crimes_Commission In November 2011 the tribunal purportedly exercised universal jurisdiction to try in absentia former US President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, convicting both for crimes against peace because of what the tribunal concluded was the unlawful invasion of Iraq.[7][8][9] In May 2012 after hearing testimony for a week from victims of torture at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, the tribunal unanimously convicted in absentia former President Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Defense SecretaryDonald Rumsfeld, former Deputy Assistant Attorneys General John Yoo and Jay Bybee, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and former counselors David Addington and William Haynes II of conspiracy to commit war crimes, specifically torture.[10] The tribunal referred their findings to the chief prosecutor at the International Court of Justice in the Hague.[11] In November 2013, the tribunal convicted State of Israel guilty of genocide of the Palestinian people and convicted former Israeli general Amos Yaron for crimes against humanity and genocide for his involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacre.

I wonder why Hemming and the detractors of Howard Hunt never mention that during World War II he carried out an assignment that landed him and a few other OSS agents behind the Japanese lines in Burma. Hunt told me that one of the agents was captured by the Japanese and he and the others were helplessly forced to listen to his screams as the Japanese flayed him alive in a village one night. For Hemming and others of his persuasion, this would just be “Hollywood” theater it would appear. Nothing here, move along. “But Purefoy was very, very helpful. I won't say that we couldn't have done it without him, but it would just have been a little harder, a little more difficult. And then in Honduras we had Whitey Willard as ambassador, and he'd been a Flying Tiger in China at a time when I was in China, and although I didn't know him over there, everybody thought well of him, and he was the one who had to oversee all the black flights in and out of Honduras, the building of the radio station, all the transmission to keep...” E. Howard Hunt, interview for the television programme, Backyard (21st February, 1999) ---------------------------------------------------------- HH: Well, that's true. Of course, I'd known Allen in OSS; I was an OSS officer in World War II - that was the Office of Strategic Services - and I really had the feeling that he could do no wrong, and I was a fervent admirer of John Foster Dulles and of Eisenhower, and so I had no real doubts about their participation in any aspect of furthering or enhancing United States security. http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/coldwar/interviews/episode-18/hunt1.html -------------------------------------------------------- “Some writers depict Hunt as a minor figure, bumbling his way from one small White House operation to the next. However, a review of all the evidence shows that Hunt was consistently working on important tasks for the White House, on matters that interested the President. Hunt also kept expanding (or wanting to expand) his operations, which often overlapped with other projects that he sought out or pushed. The more Nixon operations Hunt became involved in, the highest his status in the White House and the better for his future. It was also good for his mentor, Richard Helms, since it gave him access to the White House (and FBI) information and operations. The President’s White House staff was expanding its illegal operations on his behalf so rapidly that Hunt had no problem finding Nixon aides who wanted Hunt’s services, to help them achieve the illicit goals the President wanted. That symbiotic relationship would soon grow so rapidly that it would start to spiral out of control, with disastrous results for all concerned.” From Watergate: The Hidden History by Lamar Waldron (2013)

There is speculation that the laser was used by the U.S. on the airliner to send a message to Putin because Russia had only a few days earlier successfully tested a new nuclear-armed missile against which there is no defense. The problem is that the Russian missile can travel 3000 miles at only 20 feet off the surface of the earth. The U.S. laser is only effective up to 10 miles and has to be positioned exactly right to hit its target.

Roger Hilsman, Adviser to Kennedy on Vietnam, Dies at 94 By DOUGLAS MARTIN MARCH 10, 2014 The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/11/us/politics/roger-hilsman-adviser-to-kennedy-on-vietnam-dies-at-94.html?_r=0 Roger Hilsman, a foreign policy adviser in the Kennedy administration who helped draft a cable giving tacit American support to a coup against President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam, died on Feb. 23 at his home in Ithaca, N.Y. He was 94. His death, which was not widely reported at the time, was caused by complications of several strokes, his son Ashby said. As a Kennedy adviser, Mr. Hilsman — a combat veteran of World War II who later taught at Columbia University — helped develop crucial informal communications with Soviet officials during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. But his largest contribution was to Vietnam policy during the early stages of American involvement there. As assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs, he joined with Michael Forrestal of the National Security Council and W. Averell Harriman, undersecretary of state for political affairs, to draft Cable 243 — often referred to as the Hilsman cable. Dated Aug. 24, 1963, it was sent to the United States ambassador to Saigon, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. The cable castigated President Diem’s brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, the head of South Vietnam’s security forces, for attacking pagodas of the country’s Buddhist majority under martial law. Reflecting White House fears that Mr. Nhu’s brutality could turn popular sentiment toward the Communists, the cable told Mr. Lodge to tell the Mr. Diem to get rid of Mr. Nhu. At the time, the United States had 16,000 military advisers in Vietnam. “If in spite of all your efforts, Diem remains obdurate and refuses, we must face the possibility that Diem himself cannot be preserved,” the cable said. Mr. Lodge, it said, “should urgently examine all possible alternative leadership and make detailed plans as to how we might bring about Diem’s replacement if this becomes necessary.” The cable, which was made public in later years by the National Security Archive, was approved by President John F. Kennedy but written with some urgency on a Saturday, when he, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and other senior officials were all out of town. Military officials were angry that they had been bypassed, according to Mr. Hilsman’s own records, now housed at the John F. Kennedy Library. Mr. Diem and his brother were killed in a coup by South Vietnamese generals in early November 1963, and it ushered in a period of political instability in Saigon that many historians believe led to an increase in American involvement in South Vietnam’s war with Communist North Vietnam and its South Vietnamese allies, the Viet Cong. In a 2010 interview with CNN, Mr. Hilsman insisted that Kennedy would not have escalated the war had be not been assassinated later that November. “From the beginning he was determined that it not be an American war,” he said. Mr. Hilsman’s view, as outlined in his book “To Move a Nation: The Politics of Foreign Policy in the Administration of John F. Kennedy” (1967), was that the war could not be won by conventional military means. He favored withdrawing rural civilians into what he called “strategic hamlets” and spraying defoliants to cut off the enemy’s food supply. “Our ultimate objective,” he wrote, “is to turn the Vietcong into hungry bands of outlaws devoting all their energies to staying alive.” David Halberstam, in his book “The Best and the Brightest” (1972), said Mr. Hilsman’s brashness had offended more hawkish senior officials. Johnson, he wrote, resented Mr. Hilsman’s role in pressuring Diem, and Secretary of State Dean Rusk resented his using his friendship with the president to bypass State Department channels. Four months after Johnson became president, Mr. Hilsman resigned. “Johnson did not like him,” Mr. Halberstam wrote. Roger Hilsman Jr. was born on Nov. 23, 1919, in Waco, Tex., the son of Roger and Emma Prendergast Hilsman. His father was an Army officer, and Roger Jr. grew up on military bases. He graduated from the United States Military Academy and in World War II was assigned to Merrill’s Marauders, a special forces jungle warfare unit in Burma led by Frank Merrill. Mr. Hilsman suffered multiple stomach wounds from machine gun fire. After recovering he joined the Office of Strategic Services, the wartime spy organization, and volunteered to lead a parachute mission into Manchuria to save prisoners held by the Japanese. In 1947, the Army sent him to Yale, where he earned a Ph.D. in international relations. He was assigned to Europe and then joined the Library of Congress, becoming deputy director of its foreign affairs division. He did research for John Kennedy when Kennedy was a United States senator and drafted memos for his 1960 presidential campaign. Kennedy named him director of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research in the State Department in February 1961. He was promoted to assistant secretary in April 1963. He joined Columbia in 1964, teaching international relations, and retired in 1990. In addition to his son, Mr. Hilsman is survived by his wife of 67 years, the former Eleanor Hoyt; another son, Hoyt; his daughters Amy Kastely and Sarah Hilsman; and six grandchildren. One of the prisoners Mr. Hilsman saved in Manchuria was his father. The son liked to recall his father’s words as he hugged him: “What took you so long?”

Phone hacking trial: Rebekah Brooks questioned over affair with deputy Former News of the World editor tells court she and Andy Coulson had been close enough to share secrets By Nick Davies The Guardian, Thursday 6 March 2014 14.32 EST Rebekah Brooks on Thursday acknowledged that she and Andy Coulson had been close enough to share secrets with each other during two periods when they are accused of conspiring to produce stories based on intercepted voicemails. In tense cross-examination, Andrew Edis QC challenged Brooks over the meaning of a letter she wrote to Coulson in February 2004. Edis suggested the letter showed that they had been having an affair and sharing secrets for the preceding six years, during which time they published stories about Milly Dowler and David Blunkett which, the crown claims, were generated by hacking phone messages. Brooks repeatedly insisted that although she and Coulson had begun an affair in 1998, it had not continued for six years. The affair had stopped and both of them had got on with their lives before it had resumed briefly in 2003. "I hadn't been sitting there like Miss Havisham for six years," she said. At one point, Edis quoted part of the letter to Coulson in which she wrote: "I confide in you. I seek your advice." He asked her: "That included work matters, didn't it?" "It could have done." "Confide means trust – trust people with your confidences. No?" "Yes." "And that would include secrets relating to work?" "And emotional issues as well." Edis then referred to another passage in the letter in which Brooks wrote: "For six years I have waited." "It suggests doesn't it that the relationship had lasted six years?" Brooks said that was not correct. "You would be telling the truth when you were writing?" "I was in a very emotional state when I wrote this letter." "That's all the more reason why you would be telling the truth. It's your heart-felt anguish." "Yes." "Which is absolutely genuine." "Yes." He went on to repeat that the letter suggested they had had an affair for six years. Brooks replied: "That's not true … Andy had got on with his life. I'm clearly saying that it has been six years since we had got together… I had gone out, got married, tried to have a baby, got on with my life. "The emotional feeling that I had towards Andy obviously came out in the letter. But we didn't have an affair for six years. We were close friends, good friends." Edis turned to the state of their relationship in April 2002, when the crown claims that Brooks and Coulson plotted to use voicemail intercepted from the phone of the missing Surrey schoolgirl Milly Dowler. Brooks was then editor of the News of the World but Coulson, her deputy, was editing the paper while she was on holiday in Dubai. "At that time were you talking with him in that confidential way?" "We were close friends." "So you would trust each other?" "I trusted him as a friend and as a deputy editor." "If the deputy editor was committing a crime, he might not want the editor in normal circumstances to find out about it. But he might be able to tell the editor if he really trusted her." Edis paused. "Was the relationship in April 2002 such that Mr Coulson could trust you with any confidence at all?" "Yes," she whispered. Edis then asked her about August 2004 when, the court has heard, Coulson, as editor of the News of the World, revealed an affair between David Blunkett and a woman whose name he withheld; and Brooks, as editor of the Sun, followed up the next day by naming the woman as Kimberly Quinn, publisher of the Spectator magazine. The crown claims that Coulson obtained the story from messages which Blunkett had left on Quinn's phone and that he then passed her identity to Brooks. Brooks has told the jury that she wrote her letter to Coulson in February 2004 after he had told her he wanted to end their second period of physical intimacy. In the letter, she wrote that this meant that: "I can't discuss my worries, concerns, problems at work with you any more." Edis put it to her that by August 2004, they were "back talking confidentially to each other by then?" "We were certainly talking." "But in that confidential way?" "I think we were back to confiding, particularly on an emotional level by that stage." Edis then showed her the billing record for a mobile phone which Coulson was using in August 2004 which showed that he had phoned Brooks immediately before he met Blunkett in Sheffield to tell him he planned to publish a story about his affair. "Do you remember what he was saying to you?" Brooks said she could not remember, that Coulson had often called or texted her at the beginning of the day. Edis said: "He is in Sheffield, going to see a cabinet minister. Surely he told you that." "No. He didn't," she replied. She went to say that she thought she had come up with Quinn's name after checking stories which had previously been published which mentioned that Quinn knew Blunkett and that, based on that suspicion, she had "taken a punt" and called Blunkett's special adviser, Huw Evans, to persuade him to confirm that she was right. Edis said: "You would have to take a punt if you knew it was a phone-hacking story." "I didn't know it was a phone-hacking story," she said. "Didn't you?" Brooks and Coulson deny conspiring to intercept communications. The trial continues.

From the article: The only reason Freddie and Fannie are not prosecuted for filing fraudulent accounting statements, therefore, is the beltway fiction that they are “off-budget”. This convenient scam was first invented by Lyndon Johnson to magically shrink his “guns and butter” fiscal deficits, but it has since metastasized into a giant business fairy tale—namely, that behind the imposing brick façade of Fannie Mae there is a real company generating value-added services that are the source of its reported profits and current multi-billion pink sheet valuation. In fact, there is nothing behind those walls except a stamping machine that embosses the signature of the American taxpayer on every billion dollar package of securitized mortgages it guarantees and on all the bonds it issues to fund a giant portfolio of mortgages and securities from which it strips the interest. http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/03/david-stockman/a-wall-street-prince-of-plunder/
