Did Mobsters decide the fate of

From Austin, Texas, on election
night to the media frenzy in Tallahassee
and Palm Beach, Florida...and on
to the mean streets of New York
and New Jersey... uncovering
hidden connections to nationwide
electoral fraud. $19.95
Tom DeLay's on trial, Randy
Cunningham's going to jail, the
Republican Party is mired in
corruption and cronyism, Sun Cruz
Casino “Mob Boy” Adam Kidan's
already cut a deal, and Jack
Abramoff’s plea agreement with
federal prosecutors is expected to
result in the biggest Congressional
housecleaning in decades…
Yet, appearances to the contrary, “The
Big Fix 2006” may already be
in on the Republican big money
scandals.
The show may be over before it
began.
Despite the drumbeat of new
revelations (like the Desperate
Housewives of Congressional
Republicans pulling down six-figure
incomes for duties which are the
very definition of ‘vague’), in the
silent newsnights before Christmas
it began to become apparent that
once again something was going
horribly, terribly,
wrong…
The sight of neo-con greedheads and
faux Christian leaders littering the
landscape like recently-sodomized
sugar plum fairies (paging Ralph
Reed, white courtesy phone) may
everywhere be warming the hearts of
men and women of good will.
But Federal prosecutors aren’t just
doling out justice. They appear to
be putting a cover-up in place.
“Casino Jack” Abramoff and minion Adam Kidan
just may be about to get away with
murder.
Maybe it was all
Little Tony's idea...d'ya think?
Anyone
doubting this assertion should
perform this simple thought
experiment:
“You’ve just bought a life insurance
policy for $10 million on your
spouse, who is then shot three times
at close range with hollow point
rounds by people later identified as
Gambino hit men by authorities,
who—drat the luck— have recently
cashed big checks from you…
Which should you now be doing:
A.
Planning a new life of leisure with
your big insurance settlement? Or:
B.
Looking to dye your hair red and
drive at your earliest convenience
across the Mexican border in a white
Bronco?
Alas for America, both Abramoff and
Kidan appear to be availing
themselves of a third alternative,
one made possible by an
unacknowledged fact of American
life:
“Being connected means never having
to say your sorry.”
Writing a quarter million dollars
worth of checks (for no discernible
purpose) to Mafia hit men who are
later charged with the murder of the
check-writer’s biggest enemy
in the whole damn world is
just another in a long line of
"freak coincidences" in South
Florida, a place where things have
always been a little…
different.
'Big Tony' Moscatiello and two
second-rate mobsters were charged
with the murder of Sun Cruz Casino
magnate Gus Boulis in September. It
is a case in which Jack Abramoff and
his henchman Adam Kidan both have
massive and totally obvious criminal
exposure.
Without an agreement to shield them
from prosecution in the Boulis
murder, neither man would seem to
have any reason to accept a plea
agreement...yet it is unmentioned in
their announced deals with federal
prosecutors.
It
is fast becoming
unmentionable.
"Careful with
that ax, Eugene"
Take the ginger handling the looming
murder rap hanging over both men has
gotten in the press… “As part of his
agreement with prosecutors, Mr.
Kidan pledged to cooperate
with federal prosecutors… ” read a
Hartford Courant Editorial called,
“WILL MR. ABRAMOFF SING?”
“Mr. Kidan may also be able to
help state prosecutors who are
investigating the slaying of
Konstantinos Boulis. Mr. Boulis, who
owned the casino boat fleet, was
shot and killed in 2001 during
arguments over the sale.’
Reporting
that “Mr. Kidan may be able to help
prosecutors investigating the Boulis
hit” is as understated a drollery as
stating O.J. might be
able to help authorities
find the killer of Nicole Simpson.
This kid glove treatment illustrates
how little reason there is for
believing that this time the big
broom will sweep everything clean.
The Abramoff Scandal is The
Big Enchilada.
Like Iran Contra, it is too big to
ever be allowed to break. It
involves, as we will see, virtually
the whole apparatus of America’s
secret government. And it leads to
places that have nothing to do with
Abramoff’s “cover ” as a “College
Republican leader” turned “big
money lobbyist.”
Exposure would open up what Sen.
Fulbright once famously called,
referring to the Bay of Pigs/JFK
assassination, “An endless can
of worms.”
Check out the truth inadvertently
leaked in a trailer for one of
Abramoff’s two movies, both of which
were funded with money from South
African military intelligence, from
over a decade ago...
“He's a human killing
machine. Taught to stalk. Trained to
kill. Programmed to destroy.
He's played by their rules...
Until now. They think they control
him... Think again.”
Finus Shellnut
dies and goes to heaven
Everything you need to know to
understand the way things are in
America today was starkly visible on
Chris Matthews’ year-end review on
MSNBC’s HARDBALL last weekend.
The show featured a recap from New
Orleans of the major unpleasantness
of Hurricane Katrina, and an
interview with a local
“restauranteur” named Finis
Shellnut, crowing about the
blow the disaster had struck to the
city’s poor people…
The name rang a bell. We couldn’t
quite place it, though. Then we
found
another hurricane interview he’d
done. An accompanying picture shows
him sitting at a table with a bottle
of champagne…
“Finis Shellnut is wealthy and he
isn't hiding it, even in the
difficult times following the
Katrina disaster. The 53-year-old
real estate magnate sits in front of
one of his buildings in the French
Quarter, enjoying a chilled bottle
of French champagne," Der Spiegel
reported.
"The man is a walking glitz machine,
from the diamonds on his Rolex to
his gold-framed glasses to the
silver cross dangling on his chest
under his half-open shirt. Shellnut
is doing well these days, extremely
well. He senses a lot of
post-Katrina business coming his
way."
Shellnut wasn't particularly
hard-hit by the storm and the
flooding in New Orleans.
"My real estate is in the city's
better neighborhoods," he told Der
Spiegel, clearly pleased with
himself, "a tree fell down here and
there, but otherwise everything's
just fine."
"Driving through the city with
Shellnut is like going house-hunting
with a real estate agent," the
magazine reported. "I could get that
house for two million, but the one
with the park would cost you a
little more than that."
He
saw the storm as a
not-so-undesirable cleanup machine.
“Despite all the chaos and
destruction, the storm and the
floods came with a silver lining for
people like Shellnut. "Most
importantly, the hurricane drove
poor people and criminals out of the
city," he says, "and we hope they
don't come back."
"Its
a small world After all...A small
small world."
We
found two separate FOX NEWS
reports seeming to indicate that the
loathsome Shellnut may have been
responsible for some of the reports
about atrocities being committed in
the days after the hurricane...
atrocities which later turned out to
have no basis in fact, but which may
have helped depress real estate
prices later.
“Finis Shellnut stuck in French
Quarter on phone, surrounded by
looters,” FOX NEWS reported.
Then, later: “Finis
Shellnut reports looters shot police
officer in head."
Who is Finis Shellnut?
What light does he shed on the
possibility for there being a
"Big Fix 2006?"
The financially oh-so-lucky
Shellnut is the former
brother-in-law of Bill Clinton’s
close personal and political friend,
former Asst U.S. Attorney General
Webster Hubbell (who went to federal
prison for a Whitewater-related
conviction), as well as a former law
partner of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
But his real claim on
notoriety came when he was
identified as the man who
picked up the duffel bags filled
with cash dropped by
CIA Drug Pilot Barry Seal at the
Triple S Ranch near Hot Springs,
Arkansas. An estimated $9 million
per week fell out of the sky.
"Nothing happened. Really. And if it
did, we didn't see it."
"A
bond trader, that worked for
Lasater, was a man by the name of
Finis Shellnut,” alleged Iran Contra
operative Terry Reed in the book Compromised.
“He was Seth Ward's son-in-law at
the time. And Seth Ward owned (whose
daughter, was married to Webster
Hubbell) a piece of property west of
Little Rock called the Triple S
Ranch. And that is the ranch in
which Seal was jettisoning the
large, large... what's called a B-4
bag in the military, a large duffel
bag, that can hold about $3 million,
complete with radio transmitters so
you can locate it.”
"That money was being kicked out of
Seal's planes onto the Triple S
Ranch. And the man that was
retrieving the cash was Finis
Shellnut and, who worked for
Lasater.”
In
case you were wondering, Finus is
pronounced FI-nus, with a
long "I" sound, as in "high". For
example, His Highness, Finus.
God works in mysterious ways. Alas,
America doesn't.
Events here, as Finus could tell us,
if only he'd talk, follow a simple
easily-understandable dictate:
"Being connected means never having
to say you’re sorry."
A global
network interfaces with whoever they
want
In
coming stories we will take a closer
look at the CIA playbook which the
Abramoff forces are so clearly
using…
Abramoff charged exorbitant fees for
work he didn't do, and set up fake
charities to shelter the ill-gotten
gains. There were phony grass-roots
Christian groups. Phony billing
statements. And nonprofits with
phony
purposes.
The CIA is the acknowledged master
at setting up dummy corporations—oil
companies, computer firms,
advertising firms, religious
organizations--the most famous being
"Air America," which
operated during the Vietnam war.
The man who owned the ‘terror’
flight school in Venice Florida is
involved with false front airlines,
dummy front companies, shadowy
charter operations of dubious intent
and a politically-well-connected
network plugged in to everyone from
First Brother Jeb Bush to Clinton
"fund-raiser" Truman Arnold.
This is indisputably a ‘global
network;’ it is both covert and
unacknowledged, and it was the
American interface with the
terrorists while they were here.
If
your idea of sweeping clean the
Augean stables begins and ends with
removing the threat to Western
Civilization posed by an
inconsequential pest exterminator
from Texas, then these certainly
appear to be good times.
Maybe only an ingrate looks a gift
horse in the mouth... And not since
the 1992 House banking scandal that
led to the retirement or ouster of
77 lawmakers has a corruption probe
like the one involving lobbyist Jack
Abramoff struck fear in so many
hearts on Capitol Hill.
But what has been dragged into view
during the current Republican
lobbying scandal is nothing less
than an (eminently successful)
effort to subvert and
overthrow—using our own tax money—
the last vestiges of traditional
representative democracy in America.
Some
believe that the Florida State’s
Attorney’s Office may still charge
Abramoff and Kidan in the Boulis
murder. “Murder trumps fraud
in the prosecutorial world,”
wrote one optimistic pundit.
To
which we retort:
“Au-fucking contraire.”
Not since Watergate has a scandal
been allowed to break in America,
except in the most choreographed
fashion. Authorities today face the
same dilemma they faced then…
When naïve partisans of Richard
Nixon urged him to come clean and
tell the truth, those in the know
knew that even if Tricky Dick had wanted to take their
advice, he would have been unable to
do so, for this simple reason, which
obtains to this day:
He
wouldn’t have known where to start.
