Actually I feel confident in assuming that RI has been a budget item for some folks for awhile now, perhaps a small item, not free, but significantly cheaper than if there were no slave labor involved.

The cost is high when it comes to my conscience, the shit I am forced to read here everyday is just, well, you know...

I cant imagine a world without RI though, would be even worse than it is with it.

Ah, there, you see? Just as I suspected, someone is forcing poor Percival to come here and read "shit" all day.

You are right. I never really thought Rachel was a total "phony" though some people I know have surmised that. Those people are usually pretty right on as far as I know so I had some doubts. And they knew much more about it than I did.
My comment is based on my personal experiences with my case, McMartin and some of the people who befriended me as a result of my activism in that case. And also on my involvement with MR and tlg in the early 90s. It seems, sometimes, that everyone knows what happened but the people who were there. And those on the fringe even write books and open blogs. You'd be amazed at all the nutcases that have jumped into this and added their 2¢.
I must say I have to bow to Rachel for the success she has had. My case became such a huge stinky morass that I just can't keep up with trying to set people straight about what really happened anymore. Too much organization on the perp's side and not many willing to fight on the children's side. Our case was about Child Molestation-NOT satanism.
This thread has been very interesting and informative. I have to wonder if I know some of these posters?
Thank you for your honesty and intelligent discussions on these issues. I hope it continues. I learned that we can't depend entirely on the officials and must sometimes do our own footwork. Didn't work out that well for me, though.

interview

Postby sw » Sun Oct 04, 2009 3:46 pm

Found this in an interview with Hamilton....(I had not read this before.)

sw

PAUL DeRIENZO:
To your knowledge, are there any parallels there? Are some of
those same people involved, to your knowledge?


BILL HAMILTON:
Yes. Danny's belief about who was running "the Octopus" -- about
seven or eight people -- some of them are people who the Christic
Institute identified: Theodore Shackley, Thomas Clines ....
Danny also had people like George Pender, John P. Nichols,
E. Howard Hunt [JD: Hunt was one of the people named in Nixon's
burglary of the Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate
office building.], the former Director of the CIA Richard Helms,
Ray Cline. Those are the people that Danny had identified as the
people running "the Octopus."



I also had never read who Danny was meeting with when he was murdered:

PAUL DeRIENZO:
Now, you say here that the reason that Casolaro was in West
Virginia when he was found dead was to meet with gentlemen by
the names of Videnieks and Earl Brian.


HARRY MARTIN [of The Napa Valley Sentinel, Napa, California]:
You know, Videnieks is the man who is believed to have threatened
Bill Hamilton, or tried to extort the company from him. And Earl
Brian, of course -- there are many, many affidavits out which say
he has actually been the one who is selling the software and has
basically taken over the software program.


PAUL DeRIENZO:
Now just to recap -- Earl Brian is the former head of Financial
News Network, the owner of the Infotech Corporation which owned
the Hadron Corporation, of which the CEO of Hadron at the time
called Bill Hamilton up, as president of Inslaw, and said: "We have
ways of making you sell." When Inslaw refused to sell, they found
that they were then forced into bankruptcy.

Hi Jackie,
There are about a half a dozen or so of us who post fairly regularly here and every time McMartin comes up we try to refute misinformation. There is a mod here who is wedded to the moral panic idea and several posters who will at least lip sync it in a reflexive manner. It must be incredibly frustrating for you to deal with, not to mention daunting, being able to see from your vantage how complete the orchestration of denial has been. The perps are running the show, there is no doubt in my mind. That's why I like McGowan's term "Pedophocracy".

Keep up the good fight. if you are still offering copies of the complete Stickel report, I'd like one. Please pm me if so.

Thanks, PW.
The tunnel report was never completely finished. Needed to get captions for some photos, etc. I am talking with NewsMakingNews about possibly putting it on the web. It is approx. 200 pages, maybe 40 pictures.
ted gunderson stole a rough draft from my files and has had it for sale on the Internet.
Want to hear THAT story?
I own it, I have a contract with the archaeologist, Dr. Stickel.
I did make it available to the crew and a few people who paid me for costs. But it fell into some rather dubious hands in the past. Some idiot professors at a few colleges who based entire courses on it with the False Memory Syndrome Foundation twist. Stickel and I tried to stop them but the universities were unresponsive.
Yep-so frustrating yet important enough to keep on trying.

Asero Worldwide

Postby sw » Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:09 pm

http://www.asero.com/

I suggest contacting Asero Worldwide for help with this matter.

With their Executive Staff made up of the "best of the best" from American and Israel Intelligence agencies, they probably have the full legit info for all the things we rigorously pursue in the name of justice.

I didn't come upon them until I was upset with how Truscott handled my case in ATF. Once the U.S. DOJ dumped Truscott, I wondered where Bush would place him....and thus I found Asero.

ouch, i hope my owners read and feel ashame.

Choosing life over freedom probably makes me unamerican (live free or...enslave others ?)
i asked for help, the last time it ended up wierd, so to speak, with a harsher return to same place. so...you know, we wouldn't know freedom without its opposite. . life is a cycle.

ohm

in Judaism there is a saying "a prisoner cannot free herself from the cage". the shame of slavery is shared by all.

In regards to the above, I've got to say that not only is Michael Riconosciuto extremely unreliable, but that the source of the above article, Iona Miller, should also be taken with extreme caution.

Sure, she's hip to psychedelics, psychic phenomena, conspiracy discourse, and etc. but by her own admission she comes from inside that shadow world, was married for years to Richard Alan Miller, a spooky contractor working on psychic phenomena, mind-altering technologies and altered states of consciousness, for military/intel patrons...

Avenging daughter Rachel Begley traps 'killer' James Hughes
The police gave up but Rachel Begley spent 28 years hunting clues to who shot her father


Image
Rachel Begley stayed within the law to hunt James Hughes, who had moved to Honduras


Sitting in a shopping centre in California at the age of 13, Rachel Begley was more interested in her pistachio ice cream than in the sombre story her father was trying to tell her about some “bad people” at work.

She recalls the intensity of his gaze and a brief frisson of fear but did not see the significance until a week later when he was shot dead.

The shock of the mafia-style murder not only turned a quiet teenager into a rebel who went on to become pregnant at 15 and marry at 18; it transformed her into an avenger. She continued to investigate long after the police had turned their backs on the case.

Last weekend, 28 years after the killing, police arrested a self-confessed former mafia hitman as he prepared to fly from Miami to his home in Honduras. Police say the arrest was prompted by the evidence that Begley had been painstakingly accumulating for years.

James Hughes, a former US Army Ranger and motorbike gang member, had been questioned by police shortly after the shooting in 1981. Then he had left for Honduras, where he carved out a new existence in stark contrast to his old life. He set up a refuge for abused women and called himself “the Rev Hughes”.

Hughes now stands accused of murdering Begley’s father, Ralph Boger, and two friends, Fred Alvarez and Patricia Castro. He has yet to enter a plea.

The victims had been talking on the patio of Alvarez’s home, east of Los Angeles, one hot summer’s night when an intruder pumped a single .38 bullet into the back of each head.

Alvarez was the vice-chairman of the “Cabazon Indians”, 25 people with native American ancestry who had set themselves up as a tribe in order to run a casino near Palm Springs. Castro was his girlfriend. Boger worked as a casino manager.

The head of security at the casino was Hughes, who was interviewed by the police in 1983 over an alleged confession that he had paid $25,000 to the hitman who carried out the murders. According to local newspapers, the policeman who took the statement was a cousin of Hughes. It was never followed up.

Twenty years later, however, Hughes admitted on a California church’s website that he had been a mafia hitman, with at least six kills to his name that he now regretted.

For Begley, this was the breakthrough she had been waiting for. “I track people down who owe money for a living, so I knew how to find Hughes and his associates,” she said. “Over the years through my website I gathered information and learnt how big and dangerous this all is.”

Her persistence — combined with the support of a network of contacts in central America, including police, diplomats and academics — paid off. She followed Hughes’s every move and prepared a convincing case against him.

Begley explained that she “went to war, like someone in a Hollywood movie”. She did not go quite as far as Sharon Stone in The Specialist, who hired Sylvester Stallone to blow up the mafia dons behind the murder of her family, but she admitted she had dreamt of vengeance for three decades.

“Until recently my four kids called me a crazy lady, but now they realise that there is a conspiracy here,” she said.

Last year she and Fred Alvarez’s son, Michael, confronted Hughes at a religious conference in California, where she secretly filmed him.

Hughes told them: “Your parents got killed in a mafia hit. But I don’t care who died. I was trained in the military, I killed people all over the world.”

He then warned them: “You have children. You don’t want to put your children in danger. Those children need a mother.”

Begley, 41, said she had since stepped up security at her home and had bought a gun.

She said that for years the police had shown no interest, leaving her to build up the case against Hughes on her own. Then she began working with a California sheriff, John Powers, who went to Florida to serve the arrest warrant.

“I am confident we shall expose a lot more,” she said. “My father was a tough man who did not bend when he saw injustice. He served time for shooting my grandfather when he was beating my grandmother, but he would not bend. I’ve got that too, my family says.

“My father tried to tell me, when we were sitting eating ice cream in that mall, what he was facing. But I was too young to appreciate it. Now I cannot stop because over my shoulder I can hear my father, and he’s saying, ‘You go, girl, you go’.”

Thats an awesome effort Rachel. And good on you for doing it all legally. That shows a faith in the system I don't have, but really its that sort of faith that might make it work.
