Five Alarmer: Seymour Hersh Says Assassination Squad Reported Directly to Dick Cheney

How is Dick Cheney being a war criminal a surprise to ANYBODY? It is disappointing, though, that our new president has made no formal inquiry into Bush admin. crimes against humanity. I know there's a lot for Obama to do, but decent Americans need to know that there's still justice left here. Trial, conviction, execution: that's all that's left for Bush administration neo-cons.

One of the more recent questionable accidents occurred just last December 19th to Michael Connell the IT guru of the Bush administration. His demise in a private plane crash was extremely timely given that he was a main witness due to testify to the stolen 04 elections in Ohio. The vertical crash parallels that of Wellstone's. It seems perhaps Cheney sent his goons out one more time prior to leaving office. Michael Connell was as the heart of the millions of missing Whitehouse E-mails, The O2' Georgia election, 04 Ohio election etc. etc. It seems that Cheney has been running a shadow government as soon as he took residence in Washington DC. This could be the reason for his large safe as well as the questionable fire at his office about a year ago. Seymour Hersh has a proven track record of very reputable sources.

We must have a Special Prosecutor appointed. Your congressman should should be calling for the appointment of a Special Prosecutor for the Bush appointees that violated Federal Laws, Treaties and the Geneva Convention on Torture. Torture is a Federal crime with penalties of 20 years to life and the death penalty if the prisoner dies as a result of torture. It is a very serious crime. They took people off the streets and held them without charges for years.

the WP was very anti Bush when she was in control while he was running against VP Al Gore and during the first month of his residency. She "slips" on a sidewalk, hits her head and died. Another victim of the Cheney hit squad? jaglady

J. H. Hatfield J. H. Hatfield wrote a scathing biography of George W. Bush, called “Fortunate Son”, which was published while Bush was running for President in 2000, following numerous aggressive attempts to prevent its publication. In addition to detailing many of the well known (to DUers) unethical and probably illegal business dealings by Bush in the 1990s, the book also alleged that Bush was found guilty of a cocaine use charge which was expunged from his record. Many were dismayed to hear of Hatfield’s “suicide”. *****Cliff Baxter Cliff Baxter was a former Vice Chairman of Enron, and one of the few high level Enron executives who had tried to prevent Enron’s illegal activities, which resulted in the fall of the company and the disappearance of the life savings of many of its employees, in one of the largest corporate fraud cases in U.S. history. At the time of his death he was about to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee about the scandal at Enron. It was felt by many that his testimony could be devastating to top Enron officials and might even provide a vital link between Enron and the Bush Administration. Baxter was found shot to death in his car. ******Paul Wellstone Paul Wellstone was the greatest thorn in the side of the Bush Administration of any U.S. Senator. Had he lived it was thought likely that, starting in 2003, he would have initiated a serious Senate investigation into the September 2001 terrorist attacks against our country. He died in a small plane crash just weeks prior to the 2002 mid-term elections, as it was becoming evident that he would win a third term to the U.S. Senate. It was thought at the time that a Wellstone victory in Minnesota would result in Democratic control of the Senate for the next two years (which would have been the case had Max Cleland not been defeated in Georgia). According to an article, “None of the typical causes of a small plane accident—engine failure, icing, pilot error—appear to have been involved.” Evidence suggests that both engines were running when the plane hit the ground. The plane had passed through the icing altitude without apparent difficulty, and it was cleared for approach to the airport. Both pilots were very experienced and skilled. The Beechcraft model in which Wellstone was flying has an excellent safety record. Though visibility was limited, it was well above the minimum required. There had been no problems until shortly before the crash. Witnesses say that the plane hit the ground at an almost vertical angle, and the crash was followed by an “extreme post-crash fire”. *****Raymond Lemme Raymond Lemme was the official from the Florida Inspector General’s office who was in the midst of investigating the election rigging charges of whistleblower Clint Curtis when he died. Curtis’ main allegation was that he was asked to write a computer program that would be capable of switching votes from one candidate to another, and which would be undetectable. Curtis also claims that Lemme had told him shortly before his death that he “had tracked the corruption all the way to the top”. Lemme was found dead in a Valdosta, Georgia, Knights Inn motel room on July 1, 2003. His arm was slashed twice with a razor blade, near the left elbow. *****David Kelly Dr. David Kelly was a microbiologist and an expert in weapons of mass destruction. He had already blown the whistle regarding the exaggeration of British intelligence reports on the possibility of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, as the Bush Administration was trying to make the case for invading Iraq. Speculatively, the Bush Administration may have had yet a great deal more to fear from Dr. Kelly’s telling what he knew of the Administration’s devious plans for building a case for war in Iraq. On July 18th, 2003, Kelly was found dead in a secluded lane in Harrowdown Hill, with his left wrist slit. His death was ruled a suicide, but there were many red flags that indicated otherwise. *****Ted Westhusing Colonel Ted Westhusing, one of the Army’s leading scholars of military ethics, volunteered to serve in Iraq in order to enable him to better be able to teach his students. A few weeks before he died, he had received an anonymous complaint that a private contractor was cheating the U.S. government and committing human rights violations, including participating in the killing of Iraqi military personnel and civilians. Westhusing reported all this, but an official investigation found his allegations to be “unfounded”. Westhusing was very upset about these findings. Shortly thereafter, in June of 2005, Westhusing was found dead in a trailer at a military base in Baghdad, with a gunshot wound to his head. The death was ruled a suicide. At the time he was the highest ranking U.S. officer to die in Iraq. *****Gary Webb, the “investigative reporter who broke the story about the CIA's involvement with crack cocaine dealers in Southern California in the 1980’s”, was found dead in Sacramento in December 2004, from a gunshot wound to the head. The death was ruled a suicide. Webb had been receiving death threats and reportedly shot himself in the face twice. *****Danny Casolaro was writing a book, 'The Octopus', “which was meant to be an explosive expose of the scandals surrounding the presidency of George Bush Sr.”, when he was found dead in August in a hotel in Martinsburg, West Virginia, in 1991. He had bragged to friends that he would “bring back the head of the Octopus.” Both his wrists were slashed seven times, and a suicide note was found nearby. The only existing manuscript of the book he was writing, as well as his notes, were missing. *****Six dead microbiologists connected with the 2001 anthrax hoax. After the source of the anthrax (the strain that killed several American citizens and was also sent to the offices of Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy) was traced to a Pentagon lab, “microbiologists started dropping off like flies”. Five died between 12 November and 12 December 2001 of “suicides” or “heart attacks”, and one was bashed to death with a baseball bat in a high-security lab. *****IF we assume that, of the 5 “suicide” deaths (leaving out Senator Wellstone, since that was ruled an accident, not a suicide), all 5 of the individuals were among the top 100 persons whom the Bush Administration would have liked to see disappear, the odds against 5 of the top 100 Bush Administration enemies really dying of suicide over a five year period is about ten thousand to one, assuming that they were not related. If we further consider the facts that most of the victims had no known reason to commit suicide and did not seem at all suicidal, the investigations seemed so rushed and incomplete, the various evidence against suicide in these cases, the known ruthlessness of the Bush Administration, the likelihood that some people would have been too difficult to assassinate, and the possibility that as many as an additional top 100 deaths during this time period, the odds would become even more remote. ~~~~~~Researched from many articles. And sorry about lack of paragraphing and breaks. Cannot find mechanism to do that here.

... JSOC did airplane crashes too?

This does not surprise me in the slightest. There is nothing sacred with Cheney and my suspicions tell me that American citizens have been rubbed out by this squad under the direction of Cheney, the evil one. Now that the lid has been taken off the worm can, we can just imagine how far the monster went. Could this explain why the Democrats in congress were so timid? Conspiratorial, yes. Impossible, no.

Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld should be in prison awaiting execution for war crimes, treason, torture, violations of international law, and violations of the U. S. Constitution. Oh, and by the way, if we need anyone to "pull the switch" I volunteer.

Big brother of a college pal was one of the people whose FOI requests uncovered CIA domestic investigations of citizens. During the Vietnam war.

However, it was not totally ignored by the ACNM. Olbermann did a bit on this last night and promised more in-depth reporting tonight.

Can A.G. Holder and the Obama administration afford to ignore this without becoming co-conspirators after the fact and guilty of obstruction of justice?

Allowing this kind of lawlessness by people at the very top of our government makes a joke of the law itself. People have already begun deeply distrusting our institutions. Next thing we know, we will all start writing our own signing statements stating why we think certain laws are stupid and why we will not obey them any longer.

If one person is above the law, there really is no law; just an empty image of a lawful nation.

While nothing Dick Cheney did or does surprises me anymore, I am still capable of great outrage and this piece of information sends me over the top. My hands are actually shaking as I type this. The adrenalin is flowing like Niagara Falls.

If everyone who reads Buzzflash will take the time to contact A.G. Holder by phone, fax or email today, it might have some effect. While I, and I imagine a number of others, hoped for bipartisanship, it has become obvious that the goopers have no interest in working with President Obama because they say they don't like his policies.

The electorate doesn't like their policies, which landed us all in the current nightmare. That same electorate had better not find out that deals have been made and that accountability is impossible. If there is no accountability now, it is time for serious civil disobedience.

The whole world is watching.

WHY DO WE NEED ANOTHER OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE??????? DO SOME THINK ON CAPITOL HILL WE NEED ANOTHER FALL GUY??????? THAT GETS AWAY WITH BILLIONS AND SAYS TO CONGRESS ---- SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT NOW???? Public opinion is important to me ----- because I am just one more part of the populous. Skepticism about the way our Federal Government is run and performers or those that do not perform is a matter too for most all --- that is very unsettling. And at this time in our American History the Internet is about the only means we have to conduct a forum in a kind of like --- town meeting. So with those thoughts buried deep in my mind ----- and because I am an accomplished inventor I began to think about this and that with all the back slapping—hub bubs ---back rubs --- chit chat heard and seen by our Congress and was put aback in fears that nothing of good could come about soon for the saving of our Nation. Then a light come on and I thought WE GOT TO BEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME. SO READ ON. THUS IS HOPE YOUR FOUNDATION FOR YOUR FAITH IN GOD TO SHINE THROUGH HOW many of us are plagued with so much unbelief and suspicions that we seem NOT to be able to carry our own loads anymore and have no help for the many less others that are part of our fabric and core of our rich and abundant America? Only a very few will ever possess the tenacity to bring about change ------- at this time of 325 Million maybe 1% to 5% of us can carry the Banner of Freedom proclaiming the RIGHTS to LIFE for everyone and POWER PUSH Washington DC for actions needed in our LAWS to be re-invigorated and restored in our Republic. Are you in that 1% to 5%? If so JOIN IN with the many others that have accepted the challenge to bring about change. Do you have a personal issue that lies in your perceptions of the problems ----- laid out in televised views and those in print too ----- that chime at the dime as it comes in ---- on a TOO DO LIST ---- from those advertisers that in essence own the news reporting mediums big or small. Do you buy into the dire, despicable and dreadful messages that you get from network news? Or do you wait and hold all in abeyance until fully checked out ---- and compared with other more creditable, reliable and watchful sources? Not only those as mentioned above but the other messages that makes NO NEVER MIND at all ----and brings nothing to awaken our conscious thoughts and concerns about making things better but all to often distraction comes to subvert those thoughts with negative emotions. Who are the TV consumers who would rather be informed about what is going on with the Hollywood Stars, paranormal events, UFO’s, who done it crime accounts, who is still missing after 8 weeks of reporting and then just on and on so much gibberish and opinions from morons that has clogged our airwaves. While many times what should be told to all of us is that the DEMOCRATIC STATE OF OUR NATION is in jeopardy. Are NOT most of the TV media mogul’s empty suits, using media gimmicks that keep the audience distracted, while the NEO CON agenda moves on? As our Empire is burning are some more concerned Jennifer might get back w/Brad and what will happen w/Jolie & the kids? Now what about the lack of HOPE? When giving in and giving up seems to be the only path to take----- the lack of HOPE has devoured someone once again ----- but not all ----just in that realm where those that have that attitude reside and have been consumed. Has NOT Cynicism become a safe platform for many, to jeer, deride all in disdain? And has NOT those doing such proved in them their lack of HOPE. Was eight years of talking about how much you hated Bush -while utterly failing to do anything to stop "him"- really not enough for you? Good Generals use diversion tactics to win wars can you really see the scam the NEO CONS are running while we just wait, hesitate and buy into public opinion? For out, about and throughout our Nation many more will see that the glass is not half empty but half full. And in those kinds of folks ---- one will readily see a bursting out of HOPE on their faces and in their words and deeds. Then if your HOPE is unwavering and you have got some fight left in you ---- to make sure right things get done in our Federal Government JOIN in. SO IF THIS FITS WHO YOU ARE ------ THEN JOIN IN TODAY the Grass Roots Actions needed to form our own THE VOICES OF WE THE PEOPLES ADVOCACY ---WTPA -----in Washington DC.

For them the enemy is/was anyone who knew and would or would have the chance to speak the truth. That is easy to spot. Still fully operational.

Where there was no money-- Buzzflash, OpEdNews, the Rainbow Family, moral courage was not dead. Now the newspapers that tried to sell the Bush lies are all dying. Evidently the party line doesn't help the bottom line. The only voices of truth neither supported, nor were supported by, corporations. The legal shelter corporations have enjoyed have been at the expense of American ideals and the people and the environment and other nations and every living thing on Earth. One might conclude corporate personhood is doomed. Now watch the rats desert the sinking ship. They could probably get Madoff to lecture on Corporate Social Responsibility as they continue to spew mercury and heavy metals into the air. After all, they don't breathe the same air as the rest of us. But their children with ADD, Autism, Diabetes, and psychotic behavior do. And they grow up in a society chock full of psychotic behavior. Is an attack by a complete stranger or a murder/suicide in their future? The vultures are coming home to roost.
