The Crash of Ron Brown's Plane
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
By Sherman H. Skolnick
|
|
|
|
The plane supposedly hit a hilltop in Croatia. Odd, but parts of
|
|
the plane were found some distance away from the crash site. A
|
|
local official said they recovered the black box, the tell-tale
|
|
flight recorder. Yet, later, U.S. officials said the plane had
|
|
no flight recorder. A senior U.S. defense official hastened to
|
|
point out that "the U.S. and NATO have the entire region covered
|
|
with aerial surveillance and detected no hostile action against
|
|
the plane nor explosion aboard." Who asked him?
|
|
|
|
Was there foul play? It may take a long while for independent
|
|
journalists to determine, if ever. Was there a motive in getting
|
|
rid of U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, who died in the
|
|
crash? Judge for yourself.
|
|
|
|
ITEM: A couple of years prior to the crash, a Vietnamese
|
|
official accused Ron Brown of soliciting a huge bribe -- like
|
|
$700,000 -- to get Clinton to open up Viet Nam to American big
|
|
business. A federal grand jury began hearing evidence for a
|
|
possible criminal indictment. There was jury tampering by
|
|
President Clinton and his Justice Department. The grand jury
|
|
proceedings were supposed to be secret, yet Brown and his
|
|
confederates were day by day, illegally kept informed, so they
|
|
could obstruct justice by bribing or terrorizing grand jury
|
|
witnesses. Brown was not indicted.
|
|
|
|
ITEM: At the time of the crash, a federal grand jury in the
|
|
Southwest was reportedly just a few weeks away from handing up a
|
|
criminal indictment, charging Commerce Secretary Brown with
|
|
taking a huge bribe to fix a matter involving a gas pipeline
|
|
case, implicating Bill Clinton and his circle of big business
|
|
scoundrels. Now, according to Brown's confidants, who ask not to
|
|
be identified -- they say Ron Brown was planning to NOT take the
|
|
fall -- he was planning to finger Bill and Hillary Clinton on the
|
|
gas pipeline bribery mess.
|
|
|
|
Was it just a coincidence that a week previous, the same plane
|
|
carried the First Lady and her daughter?
|
|
|
|
In 1973, I wrote one of the first books of its kind, the Secret
|
|
History of Airplane Sabotage. Such a book is taboo; it makes
|
|
airlines and airline passengers nervous. The book was snuffed
|
|
out in production by Rockefeller's lawyers; the largest
|
|
stockholders of one of the main airlines named, United Air Lines,
|
|
was Rockefeller-owned Chase Manhattan Bank. An edition of "Reel
|
|
News" magazine, distributed at airports and such, detailing
|
|
airplane sabotage evidence, was blocked from distribution. It
|
|
was more or less the last edition; the magazine was put to the
|
|
wall.
|
|
|
|
From at least the time of Adolph Hitler, airplane sabotage was
|
|
the favorite way of getting rid of troublemakers. A few years
|
|
after the assassination of President Kennedy, a disgruntled CIA
|
|
official was on the way to Chicago to tell a journalist of the
|
|
CIA's complicity in the murder. His plane blew up and fell in
|
|
Lake Michigan in shallow water. Early editions of one newspaper
|
|
mentioned the explosion. Later news forgot the story. The chief
|
|
crash investigator confided to me how the plane bombing was
|
|
covered up. A diver went into the shallow water and stole the
|
|
black box, the flight recorder -- sort of similar to Ron Brown's
|
|
plane.
|
|
|
|
A month after Nixon was re-elected president, in 1972, a United
|
|
Air Lines plane pancaked, falling into a residential area, just
|
|
short of Chicago's Midway Airport. Strange, but within a few
|
|
minutes, 150 Justice Department agents surrounded the plane and
|
|
cordoned off the zone. They kept Chicago fire and police, and
|
|
hospital ambulances, from approaching the plane.
|
|
|
|
Why? Because onboard were 12 Watergate figures, including
|
|
Dorothy Hunt, wife of E. Howard Hunt, the Watergate burglar. The
|
|
twelve were among those that died in the crash, although there is
|
|
reason to believe Mrs. Hunt was murdered by the FBI on the
|
|
ground. Toxicology reports showed she had a higher level of
|
|
cyanide in her body than she could have gotten from the airplane
|
|
fire. As referred to later in secret FBI reports, Mrs. Hunt
|
|
bought a second First Class seat on which she kept a suitcase
|
|
with two million dollars in negotiable instruments. Her husband
|
|
reportedly had blackmailed Tricky Dick [Nixon] with inside CIA
|
|
knowledge of Nixon's role in arranging and carrying out the
|
|
murder of JFK. In the celebrated Watergate tapes, Nixon uses the
|
|
code phrase "Bay of Pigs" when he was actually referring to the
|
|
Dallas "hit".
|
|
|
|
Other oddities of the Watergate plane crash: The tell-tale
|
|
flight recorder supposedly jammed. An intelligence agency
|
|
operative in a jumpsuit managed to escape from the tail of the
|
|
plane. What was he doing onboard? A mafia gang of air baggage
|
|
thieves, apparently with FBI complicity, stole Mrs. Hunt's
|
|
suitcase containing money orders and cashiers' checks and peddled
|
|
that on the black market for two-and-a-half times the face value.
|
|
That, because they could be traced back to incriminate Nixon as
|
|
to why he reportedly found it necessary to pay the blackmail.
|
|
|
|
Details of the mafia gang were brought out in the unpublicized
|
|
case in Chicago federal district court of U.S. vs. Joseph
|
|
Sarelli, during which this writer was the only journalist
|
|
covering the trial. Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, as part of a
|
|
cover up, had his Sanitation Department quickly bury the fuselage
|
|
of the plane in a mafia-owned dumpsite, before the plane crash
|
|
could be investigated.
|
|
|
|
Our group "liberated" the entire file on the crash from the
|
|
federal agency, National Transportation Safety Board [NTSB] --
|
|
some 1300 documents and pictures showing sabotage. To be
|
|
supported by this and other evidence, we brought a court suit to
|
|
expose the cover up of the sabotage. The case was torpedoed by
|
|
then U.S. Attorney Jim Thompson, who with the help of Nelson
|
|
Rockefeller went on to become Illinois Governor for 14 years.
|
|
The highly corrupt NTSB hearing board panel later ruled it was
|
|
"pilot error"; hearing board members were also investors in
|
|
airline stock.
|
|
|
|
Rockefeller-owned United Air Lines, if the sabotage were widely
|
|
publicized, would have lost their certificate to fly because of
|
|
their role in covering up the sabotage. They are the largest air
|
|
carrier in the U.S. The story of the sabotage evidence ran on the
|
|
international and national wires of Associated Press but was only
|
|
used by one smaller U.S. newspaper. Later, a 90-minute
|
|
documentary on the sabotage ran on the television in Sweden. I
|
|
assisted their film crew.
|
|
|
|
Other examples of censoring of airplane sabotage stories in my
|
|
censored book included "The Mattei Affair". He was the petroleum
|
|
and energy czar in Italy and wanted to make Italy independent of
|
|
the Rockefeller oil interests. Mattei publicly condemned
|
|
Rockefeller and the Standard Oil monopoly. Mattei died in a
|
|
sabotaged airplane crash.
|
|
|
|
The secret U-2 plane of Gary Powers went down over the Soviet
|
|
Union because of the connivance of the U.S. military-industrial
|
|
complex that needed an incident to stop U.S.-U.S.S.R. peace
|
|
meetings. His plane was sabotaged; the press says the Soviets
|
|
hit him with a missile, which was unlikely because of the extreme
|
|
high altitude the U-2 was at. (See the book, "The Secret Team"
|
|
by Fletcher Prouty.)
|
|
|
|
In 1977, Gary Powers began going public with details. Such as
|
|
Lee Harvey Oswald, on behalf of the CIA, was keeping track of the
|
|
U-2, at the secret U-2 radar facility Atsugi, Japan. Powers
|
|
apparently was working on a book about the CIA and Oswald and the
|
|
U-2 affair. In 1977, Powers and his TV cameraman, George Spears,
|
|
died when the TV helicopter they were in crashed. The
|
|
pressfakers falsely stated the crash was caused by running out of
|
|
fuel. Actually, the tail rotor was blown off by a shaped charge
|
|
supplied by an explosives manufacturing firm owned by Michael
|
|
Riconosciuto and his father. (In 1995, Spears' son, Terrence,
|
|
was disbarred for complaining about federal court corruption.
|
|
The younger Spears was an attorney representing dissidents.)
|
|
|
|
Norman Ollestad was a well-informed former FBI agent who wrote a
|
|
book condemning the FBI. He died in a sabotaged plane crash.
|
|
Gary Caradori was a private investigator pursuing leads on a ring
|
|
of children used for sex and satanic rituals by prominent people
|
|
in Omaha, Nebraska. Among those implicated with the strange
|
|
goings-on was George Bush. He [Caradori] called a state official
|
|
in Nebraska, telling him that he had the evidence now. As his
|
|
plane was taking off from Chicago, Caradori and his son died when
|
|
an explosive device caused the plane to crash. Reportedly in on
|
|
the sabotage was an FBI agent, Mike "Chuckie" Peters, who himself
|
|
flies a helicopter. According to an undisputed court suit,
|
|
Peters was reportedly implicated in the murders of some 40
|
|
federal grand jury witnesses in the INSLAW affair, theft of high
|
|
technology by the Reagan and Bush White House and their cronies.
|
|
Former Chicago Federal District Judge Nicholas J. Bua, as
|
|
so-called Special Counsel to the Justice Department for their
|
|
investigation supposedly of themselves, used Peters with
|
|
wide-ranging authority to search out and interview federal grand
|
|
jury witnesses. The witnesses were found dead under
|
|
circumstances tending to show murder. A lawsuit against Bua on
|
|
the failure to protect grand jury witnesses was thrown out of
|
|
court without legal formality. Bua's report on INSLAW stated he
|
|
could not find any evidence of wrongdoing by his employer the
|
|
Justice Department.
|
|
|
|
Judge Bua, by the way, was promoted from the state court to the
|
|
federal district court as a pay-off for his role in covering up
|
|
the sabotage in the Watergate plane crash. Without having the
|
|
evidence of sabotage, known to be available, he made a
|
|
pronouncement that "there was no sabotage".
|
|
|
|
These are just a few examples of getting rid of "trouble-makers"
|
|
by the convenient device of airplane sabotage.
|
|
|
|
Was there foul play -- sabotage -- in the crash of Ron Brown's
|
|
plane? We hope to bring you further developments in future
|
|
stories.
|
|
|
|
Last minute addition to story: Ron Brown was recent chairman of
|
|
the Democratic National Committee [DNC]. Insofar as there was
|
|
foul play, you have to consider: Brown was in a position to know
|
|
that DNC money reportedly secretly paid for whitewashing some
|
|
details of the strange death of Clinton White House deputy
|
|
counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr. Reportedly 150 thousand dollars of
|
|
DNC funds went to influence CBS' "60 Minutes" program honcho Mike
|
|
Wallace to do a cover-up program about Foster and Ft. Marcy Park.
|
|
Also, 276 thousand dollars reportedly was funneled to Foster's
|
|
wife Lisa to keep her mouth shut about the strange death of her
|
|
husband and to make public statements that she knew it was
|
|
suicide, when it was more likely murder. How much will it cost
|
|
-- did it cost -- to cover up the death of Ron Brown?
