Did Lawrence Myers Play a Role in Hoppy Heidelberg's Dismissal?
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In CN 10.05 ("Strange Hayes Case Gets Stranger") I wondered just
|
|
what the "South-Central Kentucky Bureau" was. A reader was nice
|
|
enough to inform me that it is the South-Central Kentucky Bureau
|
|
of the Lexington Herald-Leader. You'll recall that I wrote that,
|
|
"According to Gail Gibson of the South-Central Kentucky Bureau,
|
|
'Prosecutors charge that Hayes, 61, arranged to pay an undercover
|
|
FBI agent $5,000 to kill his son... The two men are involved in
|
|
a bitter legal fight over the estate of Chuck Hayes' mother.'" I
|
|
was informed that Gail Gibson has written at least 3 articles on
|
|
the Hayes trial, temporarily available at no cost at the
|
|
Herald-Leader's web site:
|
|
http://www.kentuckyconnect.com/heraldleader/index.htm
|
|
|
|
I was in time and pulled up those other articles written by
|
|
Gibson (with help from colleagues), from the Herald-Leader web
|
|
site. They provide a good summary of the Hayes case, useful to
|
|
any readers unacquainted with the details. For further
|
|
background, read articles written by J. Orlin Grabbe, especially
|
|
the series "Allegations Regarding Vince Foster, the NSA, and
|
|
Banking Transactions," available at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/
|
|
and at http://www.shout.net/~bigred/cn.html
|
|
|
|
The gist of the story (which may astound any new readers) is that
|
|
Charles "Chuck" Hayes, a former CIA agent fed up with rampant
|
|
government corruption, began a personal crusade to clean things
|
|
up. He, with the help of knowledgeable friends, used a secret
|
|
computer "back door" to enable them to "hack" their way into
|
|
secret computer accounts. Many of the computers allegedly hacked
|
|
into belonged to Swiss banks. From the secret information they
|
|
obtained, Hayes and his "Fifth Column" of like-minded crusaders
|
|
gained leverage to use against corrupt government officials.
|
|
"Leave office by sundown, or else we'll blab what we know," this
|
|
Fifth Column presumably warned Congress-persons, bureaucrats,
|
|
and others. Besides their inside evidence of individual
|
|
corruption, Hayes and friends, via their back-door access to bank
|
|
accounts, reportedly were able to withdraw the bribe money stored
|
|
there by politicians and other powerful persons.
|
|
|
|
Did Hayes' actions cause a counter-attack by forces aligned with
|
|
the U.S. government? I spoke with a source who prefers to remain
|
|
anonymous, a man with years of investigative experience, who
|
|
believes that that *is* what the Hayes case is about. According
|
|
to this source, the Hayes case is a more or less straightforward
|
|
example of government retaliation against people who have somehow
|
|
annoyed them. Reportedly, vicious elements within the U.S.
|
|
government prefer if possible to discredit their enemies rather
|
|
than simply murder them. Elimination of witnesses by murder can
|
|
have messy complications, so these elements prefer to set people
|
|
up on false charges so as to discredit them and/or remove them
|
|
from the picture. This editor is familiar with such tactics
|
|
apparently being routinely used, such as in the case of Terry
|
|
Reed, where Reed had false charges brought against him so as to
|
|
impugn his testimony.
|
|
|
|
Further key information on the Hayes case is provided by Gail
|
|
Gibson, in her series of articles from the Lexington
|
|
Herald-Leader. An affidavit by FBI agent David Keller claims
|
|
that Hayes had agreed to pay $5,000 to have his son murdered, but
|
|
had only actually paid $100. This Agent Keller, according to J.
|
|
Orlin Grabbe, may have been a former member of The Outlaws
|
|
motorcycle gang who has both used and sold heroin while at the
|
|
same time informing on other gang members. Dr. Grabbe bases this
|
|
claim on information obtained by investigators working on behalf
|
|
of the defendant.
|
|
|
|
Gibson also reports that there are supposed to exist taped
|
|
conversations between Hayes and Keller which will help shed light
|
|
on what happened. Allegedly, Hayes can be heard to ask Keller
|
|
what his FBI number is, according to Gatewood Galbraith, attorney
|
|
for Hayes. If it can be shown that Hayes was perfectly aware of
|
|
Keller's being an FBI agent, this raises the question: Why on
|
|
earth would Hayes have contracted his son's murder with a known
|
|
FBI agent? I am told that, by order of presiding Judge Jennifer
|
|
B. Coffman, these tapes have *not* been allowed to be played
|
|
publicly.
|
|
|
|
In Dr. Grabbe's article, "Judge Jennifer B. Coffman's Kangaroo
|
|
Court," the iconoclastic ex-Wharton professor charges that
|
|
prosecution witness Lawrence Myers, a former writer for Media
|
|
Bypass Magazine, is a convicted felon. Myers reportedly was once
|
|
convicted on an extortion charge and was later confined to a
|
|
mental institution. If true, this makes one wonder: What sort
|
|
of "witness" *is* Myers? Sherman Skolnick in the past has voiced
|
|
suspicions that Myers is not, as would seem, merely an honest
|
|
reporter trying to do his job, but a deep-cover government agent
|
|
who uses a "reporter" disguise to facilitate the gathering of
|
|
information on subversive types.
|
|
|
|
The anonymous source mentioned above, with whom I spoke by
|
|
telephone today, connects Lawrence Myers to the dismissal of
|
|
Hoppy Heidelberg from a grand jury investigating the April 19,
|
|
1995 Oklahoma City bombing or bombings. According to this
|
|
reputable source, Hoppy Heidelberg retained attorney John DeCamp
|
|
while Heidelberg was on the abovementioned grand jury.
|
|
Heidelberg himself, when I spoke with him by telephone, described
|
|
how he chose DeCamp. Heidelberg was familiar with the Liberty
|
|
Lobby organization, and sought their advice on finding a good
|
|
attorney. They recommended DeCamp. At the time, says
|
|
Heidelberg, he was unaware that DeCamp served as legal consultant
|
|
for Media Bypass Magazine.
|
|
|
|
My anonymous source tells me that, protected by attorney/client
|
|
privilege, Heidelberg discussed developments in the investigation
|
|
with DeCamp. Heidelberg says that is almost correct, but that
|
|
DeCamp, being busy at the time, hired Ted Gunderson as an
|
|
investigator and sent him to Oklahoma to talk with Heidelberg.
|
|
Ted Gunderson, having been hired by DeCamp, was also under the
|
|
cloak of attorney/client privilege, according to Heidelberg.
|
|
|
|
Heidelberg is not 100 percent certain as to the timeline of
|
|
exactly *when* he hired DeCamp as his attorney. He believes it
|
|
was shortly before he was thrown off the grand jury for
|
|
supposedly leaking information. When Gunderson came to interview
|
|
Heidelberg, he brought along a videographer to tape the
|
|
interview. Not known by Heidelberg at the time was that
|
|
Gunderson feared that something might happen to the grand juror
|
|
and wanted to have taped evidence of what was said. But
|
|
Heidelberg refused to allow the videotaping. Nonetheless, the
|
|
videographer, a Mr. Cook (or Cooke), was allowed to remain
|
|
present during the interview. Cook, says Heidelberg, having been
|
|
hired by Gunderson, was *not* bound by attorney/client privilege.
|
|
Awhile later, Cook reportedly spoke with Troy Underhill of Media
|
|
Bypass Magazine, who relayed what Cook had to say to Lawrence
|
|
Myers of that same magazine. Heidelberg says that Myers then
|
|
spoke by phone with Cook more than once, and eventually taped
|
|
what Cook had to say. Myers then reportedly phoned Heidelberg,
|
|
who listened to the tape-recording of Cook. Heidelberg insists
|
|
that he only listened, and did *not* give Myers any information.
|
|
Yet Myers, in an article in the November 1995 Media Bypass
|
|
Magazine ("OKC Grand Jurors Claim 'Cover-Up'"), claimed to have
|
|
had "an exclusive interview" with "a grand juror."
|
|
|
|
Regarding Sherman Skolnick's "Tweedledee/Tweedledum" viewpoint,
|
|
that the Hayes case is a subtle scheme whereby Myers plays the
|
|
bad guy so as to make Hayes appear to be the good guy, my
|
|
anonymous source expressed skepticism. Regarding Media Bypass
|
|
Magazine itself, my source is not certain whether they may have
|
|
been innocent dupes or if the fringe magazine is not, as it
|
|
seems, a reform-minded publication. Is Media Bypass Magazine
|
|
some sort of tricky operation, whose strings are pulled by hidden
|
|
manipulators? I phoned them today but was unable to speak with
|
|
anyone who could give an authoritative answer. One CN reader,
|
|
who has had articles published in the magazine, assures me that
|
|
they are basically aboveboard. He claims that "an orchestrated
|
|
effort to shut down the magazine has [thus far] failed." He adds
|
|
that "Rich Azar, the news editor, is on the Hayes story and has
|
|
yet another edition of it in the February Media Bypass."
