<br>Yes, I've read that report ("The Last Circle" <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.lycaeum.org/books/books/last_circle/1.htm">www.lycaeum.org/books/boo...rcle/1.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> ).It's more like an online book. <br><br>That stuff is over twenty years old. Given the overall context of Gunderson's life and the efforts he currently makes to expose worldwide pedophilia...my theory about these ancient anecdotes is that he and Riconosciuto toyed with the idea of fighting fire with fire.<br><br>They apparently considered seriously getting their hands on 'drug money' so as to fight the bad guys inside the system. There is after all, significant indication of internal power struggles. Chip Tatum, for example, shed some light on the demise of William Colby (former head of the CIA) who was trying to expose things, towards the end of his life. (See the Tatum quote at the bottom of this post.)<br><br>My impression from reading The Last Circle is that Riconosciuto abruptly changed his mind after visiting an underground facility (in Australia?), and sought to completely withdraw from the whole scene at that point. I'm guessing that he (and therefore also Gunderson) became aware of the atrocities of MK Ultra and the mistreatment of children...possibly from what he observed at this facility.<br><br>Aren't some of you missing the big picture here? Riconosciuto is left rotting and dying (from cancer) in prison. This is Gunderson's partner. How do you derive from that, that they are insiders who are plugged into the system? (By the way, I think Nichols was possibly just the liaison they planned to use when they were still thinking of fighting from the inside.)<br><br>In any case, I return to the 'big picture'-- my question is: where and how is Gunderson "sabotaging" anything? I raise this question...and decades old anecdotes are brought up where, at best, it is unclear as to who was playing who. There were (and are) ALL KINDS of life-and-death chess matches going on in the intelligence community. My impression is that the entire PanAm Lockerbie crash was about CIA agents at war.<br><br>You refer to him as "self-styled". Take a look at his website. There's no "style", only substance so...how does that work?<br><br>Gunderson dug up the critical witness in the MacDonald case; he contributed to the McMartin case in helping with the archaeological dig that discovered the tunnels (as I understand it), and the only reason I can see for his withdrawal from the Hamlin case is when kneejerk liberals from the media (like newsmakingnews) stepped in, and deliberately and obnoxiously stigmatized Gunderson with their goofy pseudo-quotes from him ("I saw a penny...the devil is here") and their usual expressions of "grave concerns" about Gunderson...which brings me back to Square One--- where's the beef?<br><br>Don't get me wrong-- I'm totally prepared for my 'proper' education on the 'evils' of Ted Gunderson, but so far it just looks like he's being demonized because he's 'conservativish' and he is suspected of owning (oh, the horror) a Bible. <br>------------------------------<br>Excerpt from Gunderson's interview of Chip Tatum, concerning William Colby (A= Gunderson/T= Tatum) --<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.whale.to/b/chip.html">www.whale.to/b/chip.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>A:Caller that wants to know anything about Colby's death.<br><br>T: No, I was in prison at the time of Colby's death. I did - I had written him a letter about three weeks prior to his death, and never received a response from him.<br><br>A: Do you - are you aware of the details of his death?<br><br>T: I'm aware that he died in a canoeing accident. I'm aware that the home - the door of his home was left open and his computer was accessed.<br><br>You known, I've flown Bill Colby on several other occasions, in - under the OSG. One thing Colby was always meticulous about was the requirement to wear our water-wings whenever we were on overwater flights in rotary-wing air-single-engine rotary-wing aircraft. He was meticulous about us wearing those safety-vests, almost to the point that you would think that he - you know, he had some fear of water, and, from what I understand from his wife, he always wore his life-vest when he went out canoeing. But he didn't have it on then, did he?<br><br>A: No, he did not, and furthermore not only was the computer left on, and the door was open, but there was a partial meal on the table, and, when Colby went out on his canoe, in the boat, he always put his flag up, his mariner's flag up. The flag was not up, and furthermore he was very meticulous about not going out in his boat when there was a high wind, and there was rough - in rough waters, and there were rough waters that particular night.<br><br>And I - you know, he's a good friend, or was a good friend of John DeCamp (sp?). John DeCamp is a good friend of mine. And I don't know how John feels, but I'm very comfortable saying that I think that he was murdered, assassinated.<br><br>T: I believe he was neutralized.<br><br>A: Neutralized. You use the word "neutralized," I use the word "murder." They're both the same, when it comes to CIA operations.<br><br>You know, he was -I don't know if I can say this for a fact, but I'd say I've been told, after - up to 25 years after you've served in the CIA, you cannot write a book without approval of the CIA, without them reviewing it, editing it, and he was three months away from that period, and he was writing a book. Is that true, Chip?<br><br>T: That's true from the best of my knowledge, and I had even asked him if he would write the foreword to my book, that I was getting ready to produce, or getting ready to publish.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <p></p><i></i>
