Disentanglement, Part 2: The Marriage of Organized Crime and Intelligence

33
Whitney Webb

by Mary W Maxwell, LLB

This series on Disentanglement demands that we put some effort into disentangling realities from myths. Our brain left to its own devices, takes in the cultural landscape in a trusting way.  We need to see what’s really going on. Will you join me in this project?

It had been my intention to devote Part 2 to a pulling apart of the reality of so-called organized crime.  “Organized crime,” as traditionally understood, resembles “business” more than it resembles crimes committed by individuals. Organized crime is done by a group, with each participant following strict rules set by the group. It is known for ruthlessness, including ruthless acts against members who deviate from the rules.

However, I have recently read Whitney Webb’s 900-page book One Nation Under Blackmail, published in 2022. It contains massive evidence that organized crime in the US is connected to government. This can be seen by the overlapping of personnel, and by government’s reluctance to indict various criminals, such as Jeffrey Epstein.  As I have moaned elsewhere, the US Department of Justice — the DoJ — protects organized crime. It helps criminals.

So this article is drawn on Whitney Webb’s book, with an eye to one of her themes: the connection between “Intelligence” and crime. Hence I will forestall, till a later part of this series, my “brain thing” about the way we mix realities and myths. It is more than enough, today, to simply present examples of the “marriage” of organized crime and Intelligence.

A far as I know, Ms Webb has not produced new material of her own.  Each of her 21 chapters has an average of 8 pages of small-print endnotes, showing which investigative journalist or government body brought forth the information.  But she coordinates it very well; you should get a copy of One Nation under Blackmail.  It is a sort of genealogy of organized crime with Roy Cohn (1927-1986) being a key forbear to Donald Trump and many others.

Let’s review three historical events that have received popular media coverage, at least on the internet: the 1980 October Surprise, and the theft of PROMIS software, and the death of Vince Foster. I’ll add bolding if Intelligence is referred to.

October Surprise

I first heard of the October Surprise from an article by Gunther Russbacher, founder of RumorMillNews.com. He claims to be a member of the Austrian nobility who moved with his family to Oklahoma after WWII. At some point he was head of CIA’s finances. He also was a pilot of the little known “S-171” which can fly from US to Europe in 3 hours. I trust him. He says that in July 1980 he flew GHW Bush (who, don’t forget, was CIA director at that time!) to Madrid to meet with spokespersons for Iran. Donald Gregg was allegedly on the trip with him.

It went like this: “Hi, Iranians. You have been holding 52 Americans as hostages since Ayatollah Khoumeni’s revolt in 1979 (forming an Islamic Republic that replaced the Shah’s pro-American government). I, Bush, don’t want Jimmy Carter to win the November 1980 election. People might feel warm towards Carter if you let the hostages go, so please keep them under wraps and I will do you some nice favors.”

As it turned out, the Iranians released the hostages, minutes after Reagan’s Inaugural speech in January 1981. Some of the hostages filed suit, after all they were kept many months extra to please Bush. Here is Wikipedia: “Two separate congressional investigations looked into the charges, both concluding that there was no plan to seek to delay the hostages’ release.”  Aw, gee.

PROMIS Software

Were it not for a lawsuit by Bill Hamilton and his wife Nancy, “PROMIS software” may never have come to our attention. Or were it not for the death-in-a-motel of investigator Danny Casolaro in 1991, the story may not have aroused so many people.  The Hamiltons, in their company — Inslaw — in 1982, invented a software to be used tracking court cases. They were to sell it to US Attorney’s office for $10 million.

It seems that the DoJ pirated it and Inslaw went bankrupt. A settlement of 7 million was offered. In 1989, President Bush’s US Attorney-General William Barr refused to appoint a special prosecutor for the case. (Let us not forget that John Cummings, in his book Compromised, says that Barr was the head of all drug importing by the CIA, during Iran Contra, and that the proceeds went into Edwin Meese’s bank account.)

The main excitement is that the software appears to have been upgraded twice, once by Israel and once by the CIA, such that it had backdoor potential to eavesdrop every bit of data being used by the purchasers. It was sold to over a hundred different countries. Whitney Webb says, on page 402, of her Volume 1:

“The PROMIS scandal was linked…to major elements of organized crime. For instance, one of the key figures was … Robert Booth Nichols. Nichols served on the board of First Intercontinental Development Corporation, alongside Clint Murchison, Jr…and Robert Maheu, the private investigator who was an intermediary between the CIA and organized crime [well, I never!] and who author Lisa Pease has linked to the 1968 assassination of Robert F Kennedy.”

Webb continues making connections from Nichols to a whole host of famous names:

“In 1981, Nichols formed Meridian Ars. Meridian would later join Wackenhut in its Cabazon-related activities. Michael Riconosciuto had also been Meridian’s vice-president….Meridian Intenational Logistics board of directors included Eugene Gianquinto… president of the home Entertainment division of the MCA, the entertainment giant that was later acquired by the Bronfman’s Seagram Company. One of MCA’s top executives was Lew Wasserman … connected to crime … through Moe Dalitz and was largely responsible for Ronald Reagan’s political career.”

“[In 1989] the DoJ had been probing MCA’s ties to organized crime, but — thanks to Reagan’s attorney general Edwin Meese — the probe was squashed…. Another member of the MCA board at this time, Senator Howard Baker, would later ‘advise’ Robert Maxwell about his entry into New York in the 1990s. He was alongside John Tower and Robert Keith Gray….Richard Stavin obtained documents that identified Nichols as “a money launderer with ties to the Gambino family and the Yazuka [Japanese organized crime].”

The Fosters and the Clintons

The Death of Vincent Foster

You never know who is going to pop up as a citizen with some angle that may criticize the behavior of government. Patrick Knowlton, on the day Vincent Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy Park, VA, say that he stopped at the park, to urinate.  Knowlton saw a Honda parked there, with Arkansas license plates. Later, when media announced the alleged suicide of Foster, they showed a newer, brighter, longer Honda with Virginia plates in that parking lot.

Citizen Knowlton voluntarily gave testimony about this to a grand jury.  He was subsequently harassed.  He says he was gangstalked by 24 people, and later intimidated by FBI Officer Monroe. (I have seen this happen to a friend of mine, in San Diego, but only with 6 people and they did not threaten her; they mocked her. She put up with it for years, calling it “street theatre.”)

Not wishing to take it lying down, Knowlton filed a civil rights lawsuit, under 18 USC 1985. No.CIV.A. 96-2467.  I recommend that you read the judgement against him. It shows that there is always a way for the government to put an end to a complaint against itself. Here the Court said Knowlton can’t prove a conspiracy by the 24 people, or even any 2 of them, as he can’t demonstrate that they had a “meeting of the minds” — a ‘cluster’ of similarities does not count.

(Why not? Law is the dictate of reason — lex est dictamen rationis.)

Note: “Plaintiff said this conspiracy was subsidiary to [US’s] conspiracy to hide the facts of Foster’s death.”  Indeed it was. Whitney Webb does not discuss the Knowlton Honda complaint. She gets back to her genealogy of crime which also connects to PROMIS software. ON page 181 of her Volume 2, Webb tells us that: Forbes’ “ace” reporter, James Norman, sent a letter to [Clinton’s] White House Press Secretary Michael McMurray, dated April 17, 1995:

“Dear Mr. McCurry:

“Forbes Magazine is preparing an article for immediate publication. We would like to offer the White House an opportunity to comment on the following assertions.

“1.) That Vincent W. Foster, while White House Deputy Counsel, maintained a Swiss bank account.

“2.) That funds were paid into that account by a foreign government, specifically the State of Israel.

“3.) That shortly before his death and coincident with the onset of severe and acute depression, Vincent Foster learned he was under investigation by the CIA for espionage.

“4.) That this information was made available to him by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“5.) That while he was White House Deputy Counsel and for many years prior, Vincent Foster had been a behind-the- scenes control person on behalf of the National Security Agency for Systematics, a bank data processing company integrally involved in a highly secret intelligence effort to monitor world bank transactions. [PROMIS software related]

“6.) That Systematics was also involved in ‘laundering’ funds from covert operations, including drug and arms sales related to activities in and around Mena, Ark….

“10.) That Hillary Rodham Clinton was also a beneficiary of funds from Foster’s Swiss account.

“Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this matter….

“Respectfully yours,

“James R. Norman, Senior Editor”

Came the reply:

“Dear Mr. Norman … The allegations contained in your request are outrageous. Publication of these false allegations will discredit Forbes, maliciously tarnish the reputation of Vincent Foster, and cause great pain to Mr. Foster’s wife and family….”

As for investigations into the death, you know, like a coroner’s report? the special counsel for the Whitewater scandal (Ros Law Firm) said that people present at the park saw pools of blood, as would befit the alleged gunshot to the mouth) but others saw no blood. Dr Donald Haute was the only doctor to see the body while it was still in the park and he saw no pool of blood. “Haute was not interviewed for the Fiske Report.” (p 177)

Is that classic or is that classic?

Dear Reader, if you are exhausted from all of the above, let me remind you that it is not even 5% of Webb’s book. I shall not allude to the other 95%, at least not here in Part 2 of my series on Disentanglement. I only wanted to give a whiff of the problem.

I am not yet able to make sense of it. Is it a matter of personal greed?  Is it the attraction of camaraderie?  Is it that once these guys have committed numerous crimes, they know they have to spend a percentage of their time simply engaged in keeping a lid on things?

No matter what the cause, it is extremely unpatriotic for Americans to contemplate the spectacle of government misusing the justice system — with gay abandon — to cover up its crimes and to mock the populace.

The October Surprise of 1980, the PROMIS software heist of 1982, and the 1993 death of Vincent Foster, are all 20th Century. What is happening in the 21st Century is even harder to get a grasp of.

In Part 3, I will try to get back to the plan for disentangling reality from myth.

    • Wow, what an interview – and she’s a freaking ‘Millineal’! She has taken the same path I’ve taken in my life, growing my own food, alternative money, out of the cities and into a rural environment, no iphone, no presence on social media, etc.

      A tremendous researcher that has gone down the rabbit hole and has now escaped it.

      • They want us to be mutants and eat bugs, they will catch the bugs by spraying them and we will be eating McBurgers made of sprayed bugs, and McVeganBurgers made of any rubbish they have pulled out of the scraps bin re-flavoured with lots of celery salt and onion powder, it’s all just like Soylent Green mixed with David Bowie “Diamond Dogs”

        • I’ll pass on the bugs. – If I need to, I’ll go bush with a few mates and stock up on roo, goat and pig, or, if I get a hankering for some sea food, then go down to the coast and get some mud crabs, prawns and various fish. Heck, I could just work the tide pools at low tide and pick me up a feed.

          Don’t know what the city folk will do, but that is not my problem.

          • The Italians in ww2 ate all the starlings, but fasting is supposed to be very healthy.
            After the kangaroos are finished, everyone eats the rich.

    • Thanks, Dee. Well worth listening to for 100 minutes. Att the end it says “Part 2 coming soon”. If you have Part 2, please post it.

      • Well for anyone genuinely set on “disentangling reality from myth” this would be a good start:

        “Epstein ‘Victim’ Maria Farmer Is Being Treated as If She Were a Child Who Was Violated — She Was 25!

        Part of the deal was he would promote her work and he also took her on as one of his staff. It all seems a little sordid to me, but she was an adult at the time and if she wanted to make some kind of deal with the old fart, that’s her business.

        Let’s be clear: Life is not a tale of pure good and evil, of victims and oppressors, of the good and the bad.One of the reasons assholes like Epstein and Weinstein can surround themselves with young beautiful actresses, aspiring models and painters is that these young ladies are perfectly aware of their market value.Somebody like Epstein walks into a room and takes an interest in them and they see an advantage to be had.”
        https://frankreport.com/2019/08/28/epstein-victim-maria-farmer-is-being-treated-as-if-she-were-a-child-who-was-violated-she-was-25/

        • Elspeth, Ms Farmer has never claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Epstein or anyone. She says in this interview that she was an au pair girl fo Eileen Guggenheim. As far as I know, financial enrichment has never come her way.

          I can say with certainty that MK-Ultra victims were made to do things against their will. Often it was like hypnosis, they did not have any recollection of it afterward.

          Maria says when she called 9-1-1, when feeling trapped, they hung up on her.

          I believe her. The whole pedo enterprise is not about being “nice.”

          • “Maria Farmer has never claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Epstein or anyone.”

            So the 3 reports cited here were based on ???

            “Farmer stated, in an affidavit filed in support of a defamation lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre against Alan Dershowitz, that Epstein and Maxwell came to the property in Ohio and sexually assaulted her.[16] She managed to escape into another part of the house and barricaded herself inside by pushing furniture up against the door.[2] She contacted[how?] members of her family, her mentor artist Eric Fischl,[20] and reached out to authorities.[2] Security guards on the property told her that she could not leave and she was held against her will for 12 hours.[12][21] Farmer was eventually able to depart the scene when her father arrived, after driving from Kentucky to Ohio, to pick her up.[4]
            Later that summer, Farmer learned that her younger sister Annie had also been assaulted by Epstein when Annie had visited him at his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico in April 1996.[22][17] In a lawsuit filed in 2019 against Epstein’s estate, Annie Farmer stated that Epstein had groped, harassed, and crawled into bed with her in New Mexico,[22] whereas Maxwell had given her an inappropriate topless massage.[17]
            Farmer called the New York City Police Department and the FBI on August 26, 1996 and reported the assault.[2] The authorities did not take action regarding the assault.”

          • “OF FOLLY –
            Folly is a more dangerous enemy to the good than evil. One can protest Against evil; it can be unmasked and, if need be, prevented by force. Evil Always carries the seeds of its own destruction, as it makes people, at the least, uncomfortable. Against folly we have no defence. Neither protests nor
            force can touch it; reasoning is no use; facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved – indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied; in fact, he can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make him aggressive. A fool must therefore be treated more cautiously than a scoundrel; we shall never again try to convince a fool by reason, for it is both useless and dangerous”
            “LETTERS AND PAPERS FROM PRISON”
            – Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1943

  3. “People who downplayed their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein are continuing to have to answer for it. The Wall Street Journal published more documents related to Epstein’s life and they show powerful people with regular contact with him after a sex crime conviction, including Bill Gates. We speak with journalist Whitney Webb about what is new and what we already knew and how much more backtracking we are going to see from wealthy and powerful people”. SOURCE: REDACTED

    • “Act I Courtyard of Ko-Ko’s Official Residence:
      Gentlemen of the fictitious Japanese town of Titipu are gathered (“If you want to know who we are”). A handsome but poor minstrel, Nanki-Poo, arrives and introduces himself (“A wand’ring minstrel I”). He inquires about his beloved, a schoolgirl called Yum-Yum, who is a ward of Ko-Ko (formerly a cheap tailor). One of the gentlemen, Pish-Tush, explains that when the Mikado decreed that flirting was a capital crime, the Titipu authorities frustrated the decree by appointing Ko-Ko, a prisoner condemned to death for flirting, to the post of Lord High Executioner (“Our great Mikado, virtuous man”). As Ko-Ko was the next prisoner scheduled to be decapitated, the town authorities reasoned that he could “not cut off another’s head until he cut his own off”, and since Ko-Ko was not likely to execute himself, no executions could take place. But all the town officials, except the haughty nobleman Pooh-Bah, proved too proud to serve under an ex-tailor and resigned. Pooh-Bah now holds all their posts and collects all their salaries. He informs Nanki-Poo that Yum-Yum is scheduled to marry Ko-Ko on the very day that he has returned (“Young man, despair”).

      Ko-Ko enters (“Behold the Lord High Executioner”) and asserts himself by reading off a list of people “who would not be missed” if they were executed (“As some day it may happen”), such as people “who eat peppermint and puff it in your face”. Yum-Yum appears with Ko-Ko’s other two wards, Peep-Bo and Pitti-Sing (“Comes a train of little ladies”, “Three little maids from school”). Pooh-Bah does not think that the girls have shown him enough respect (“So please you, sir”). Nanki-Poo arrives and informs Ko-Ko of his love for Yum-Yum. Ko-Ko sends him away, but Nanki-Poo manages to meet with his beloved and reveals his secret to Yum-Yum: he is the son and heir of the Mikado, but travels in disguise to avoid the amorous advances of Katisha, an elderly lady of his father’s court. They lament that the law forbids them to flirt (“Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted”).

      Ko-Ko and Pooh-Bah receive news that the Mikado has just decreed that unless an execution is carried out in Titipu within a month, the town will be reduced to the rank of a village, which would bring “irretrievable ruin”. Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush point to Ko-Ko himself as the obvious choice for beheading, since he was already under sentence of death (“I am so proud”). But Ko-Ko argues that it would be “extremely difficult, not to say dangerous”, for someone to attempt to behead himself, and that suicide is a capital offence. Fortuitously, Ko-Ko discovers that Nanki-Poo, in despair over losing Yum-Yum, is preparing to commit suicide. After ascertaining that nothing would change Nanki-Poo’s mind, Ko-Ko makes a bargain with him: Nanki-Poo may marry Yum-Yum for one month if, at the end of that time, he allows himself to be executed. Ko-Ko would then marry the young widow.

      Everyone arrives to celebrate Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum’s union (“With aspect stern and gloomy stride”), but the festivities are interrupted by the arrival of Katisha, who has come to claim Nanki-Poo as her husband. But the townspeople are sympathetic to the young couple, and Katisha’s attempts to reveal Nanki-Poo’s secret are drowned out by their shouting. Outwitted but not defeated, Katisha makes clear that she intends to be avenged.

      Act II Ko-Ko’s Garden:
      Yum-Yum’s friends are preparing her for her wedding (“Braid the raven hair”). She muses on her own beauty (“The sun whose rays”), but Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo remind her of the limited duration of her approaching union with Nanki-Poo. Joined by Nanki-Poo and Pish-Tush, they try to keep their spirits up (“Brightly dawns our wedding-day”), but soon Ko-Ko and Pooh-Bah enter to inform them of a twist in the law that states that when a married man is beheaded for flirting, his wife must be buried alive (“Here’s a how-de-do”). Yum-Yum is unwilling to marry under these circumstances, and so Nanki-Poo challenges Ko-Ko to behead him on the spot. It turns out that the soft-hearted Ko-Ko has never executed anyone and cannot execute Nanki-Poo. Instead, he sends Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum away to be wed (by Pooh-Bah, as Archbishop of Titipu), promising to present to the Mikado a false affidavit in evidence of the fictitious execution.

      The Mikado and Katisha arrive in Titipu accompanied by a large procession (“Mi-ya Sa-Ma”, “From Every Kind of Man”). The Mikado describes his system of justice (“A more humane Mikado”). Ko-Ko assumes that the ruler has come to see whether an execution has been carried out. Aided by Pitti-Sing and Pooh-Bah, he graphically describes the supposed execution (“The criminal cried”) and hands the Mikado the certificate of death, signed and sworn to by Pooh-Bah as coroner. Ko-Ko notes slyly that most of the town’s important officers (that is, Pooh-Bah) were present at the ceremony. But the Mikado has come about an entirely different matter: he is searching for his son. When they hear that the Mikado’s son “goes by the name of Nanki-Poo”, the three panic, and Ko-Ko says that Nanki-Poo “has gone abroad”. Meanwhile, Katisha is reading the death certificate and notes with horror that the person executed was Nanki-Poo. The Mikado, though expressing understanding and sympathy (“See How the Fates”), discusses with Katisha the statutory punishment “for compassing the death of the heir apparent” to the Imperial throne – something lingering, “with boiling oil … or melted lead”. With the three conspirators facing painful execution, Ko-Ko pleads with Nanki-Poo to reveal himself to his father. Nanki-Poo fears that Katisha will demand his execution if she finds he is alive, but he suggests that if Katisha could be persuaded to marry Ko-Ko, then Nanki-Poo could safely “come to life again”, as Katisha would have no claim on him (“The flowers that bloom in the spring”). Though Katisha is “something appalling”, Ko-Ko has no choice: it is marriage to Katisha or painful death for himself, Pitti-Sing and Pooh-Bah.

      Ko-Ko finds Katisha mourning her loss (“Alone, and yet alive”) and throws himself on her mercy. He begs for her hand in marriage, saying that he has long harboured a passion for her. Katisha initially rebuffs him, but is soon moved by his story of a bird who died of heartbreak (“Tit-willow”). She agrees (“There is beauty in the bellow of the blast”) and, once the ceremony is performed (by Pooh-Bah, the Registrar), she begs for the Mikado’s mercy for him and his accomplices. Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum then reappear, sparking Katisha’s fury. The Mikado is astonished that Nanki-Poo is alive, as the account of his execution had been given with such “affecting particulars”. Ko-Ko explains that when a royal command for an execution is given, the victim is, legally speaking, as good as dead, “and if he is dead, why not say so?”[n 3] The Mikado deems that “Nothing could possibly be more satisfactory”, and everyone in Titipu celebrates (“For he’s gone and married Yum-Yum”).”

  7. I stand corrected (above) by Elspeth. I did not know that Maria Farmer claimed sexual assault. I hope everybody will catch me out on whatever.

    Thank you, Elspeth.

    • Very good. Different! I have just ordered his book: Covid and the Betrayal of the Credentialed Class. $18 at abebooks.com He says it is about 9/11, too.

  13. […] Hagopian and a few other souls have collected enough dirt to make a good case. Hagopian is the author of a 5-volume set on the politics of pedophilia. Whitney Webb’s amazing book “One Nation Under Blackmail” has as its Volume 2, a long and intricate story about the importance of pedophilia, a la Epstein. Still, there is innate resistance to believing it. I also wonder why more politicians did not assume they were being video’d at Lolita Island, with an under-age girl. Sure, in the heat of the moment the sex urge replaces caution, but each fellow had to consciously plan his air trip to the Island.  I just don’t get it. (Please see my review of Webb’s book here.)
