Another look at Hunter Thompson's death

http://www.onlinejournal.com/Commentary/042105Mazza/042105mazza.html

The recent slam of articles on Hunter Thompson's death has brought new information and a new question as to its cause. One article by Tim Schmitt, "Death of a Conspiracy—Johnny Gosch, Jeff Gannon, Hunter Thompson and the unraveling of a troubling tale," is truly troubling. It comes from an alternative paper called Pointblank, no less, in Des Moines, Iowa, whose doors were shut and Schmitt fired the day after publication.

-snip-

The author John DeCamp, who uncovered the scandal, was a successful state senator in Nebraska for 16 years and a decorated Vietnam War veteran. He practices law in Lincoln, is married and the father of four. His book shut down Omaha's Franklin Community Federal Credit Union and its manager, Lawrence E. King, Jr., the Republican activist who rose to notoriety and riches from associations with power figures from Nebraska politics and business to Washington D.C. The story broke in June 1989 on the front page of the Washington Times, headlines blaring: "Homosexual prostitution inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush" and "Call boys took midnight tours of the White House." Bonacci stated he was one of those boys.

It all strangely predates recent events. Jeff Gannon/Jim Guckert, who may be Johnny Gosch, somehow managed to gain press credentials (both a hard pass and a day pass) to the White House over a period of two and a half years without any flak from the Secret Service or FBI. Gannon (or whatever his real name) may have also gained a pass to the president's upstairs bedroom, just as Bonacci a generation earlier was able to draw the setup of the inner bedroom of George H.W. Bush, not publicly known information, to justify his claim that he and other boys had relations with Bush senior.

-snip-

As a boy Johnny Gosh, Schmitt reports, was used as a gay prostitute for blackmail purposes. Those alleged to have kidnapped and brainwashed children were reputedly part of the government's Monarch Project and MK-Ultra program, used in a variety of ways to advance various agendas. Today, according to reporter Sherman Skolnick, Gannon functions in high-level espionage, and is allegedly responsible for leaking the fact that former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, was an undercover CIA operative, which may have caused, according to Skolnick, the death of some 70 operatives who worked for her.

2. The Gannon Gukert Gosch story just gets more bizzare by the minute.
I saw a news story on Free Speech TV last week about this.

Strange indeed

3. Apparently we're not supposed to talk about Jeff Gannon/Guckert but
let's look at this paragraph:

"TBRNews.org also peppers the pleasure-for-hire-parties with, "one Supreme Court Justice, several Republican governors, at least one very well-known televangelist." All usually positioned as morally towering individuals, whom we can count on to lead the way."

And play: GUESS THE TELEVANGELIST!!

I vote: Jerry Falwell

5. Still reading the article, but I have to say, I read Bonnacci's testimony
and I don't remember him implicating Reagan at all, so the author seems to have taken a little liberty using that name. Maybe I missed that part, but I don't think so. He implicated Poppy and other Poppy White House officials though!

8. heLLo!!! . . . and a great big "WTF?" . . .
Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 12:45 AM by OneBlueSky
"Thompson, according to Roberts, was also writing about evidence he had found that detonations of internal bombs, not airliners, had brought down the World Trade Center."

most people who have looked closely at the WTC evidence conclude that it wasn't the planes that brought the towers down . . . or at least they begin to seriously question the proposition . . . to see this linked to the Gannon/Guckert/Gosch story is beyond bizarre . . . it's positively surreal . . .

personally, I don't believe the "official" 9/11 story for a minute, but I haven't known what to think about the Gannon thing . . . I still find the notion of GHWB diddling kiddies in the WH about as far fetched as anything I've ever read or heard about the BFEE . . . yet another part of me keeps saying "yeah, but what if it's all true?" . . . given what we've learned about the Bushes and how they operate, we know they are capable of literally anything . . .

I still don't know what to think about this one . . . guess I'll just have to stay tuned and see how it plays out . . .

but my gut says there's likely much more to it than any of us in the reality community could ever bring ourselves to actually believe . . . {shudder} . . .
------------------------------------------------
on edit: wonder if HST had any notes and/or documentation about his WTC stuff (one would think so) . . . as well as whether they still exist, and in whose possession . . .

9. IF this situation is true, could explain...
why some Dems are also acting a little strange. It's on both sides of the aisle and black mail is common in DC.

10. Hunter, please forgive them. This is sheer satanic panic drivel.
Don't get drawn into this rubbish just because it makes Bush look bad. Isn't the stuff anyone can prove - and which the Bush people hardly bother to hide - bad enough?

11. agree
I mean according to the way I understand it, Hunters son, daughter in law and grandson were all in his house when he shot himself, plus he was on the phone with his wife I believe. So any theory of it not being suicide is going to be hard to prove unless I have my facts wrong. Now Hunter killing himself for reasons related to that article I suppose could be possible... if anyone has read the Rolling Stone tribute to Hunter S. Thompson some of his close friends seem to think his suicide was a result of his health, the fact he couldn't live the lifestyle he was accustomed to anymore. Who knows, but this seems far-fetched... :shrug:

12. Yes. It's difficult to prove when BushCo tampered with the evidence
by sending the rubble to Japan for construction before the rubble was even cold.
Many people have speculated that the WTC was blown up internally...easy to speculate on when the President's brother was on the board of the company providing security for the building.

Why are you so afraid of the suggestion that our government did it? Hasn't Bush's behavior proved he is capable of it?

13. If you read the piece HST wrote on Bu$h in Rolling Stone...
you'd understand that somebody bumped him off. People don't critcize him like this and live.

14. Well, I don't know what to make of a lot
of this story. But, I have no trouble at all believing this:

"Karl greatly enjoyed the supervision of a certain hairy 350-lb Leather Dominator who had won the Miss Virginia Daddy Bear title at the MAL festivities."

:rofl:
