J. Edgar Hoover clung to the FBI director’s chair like a barnacle on a battleship from May 10, 1924, until his final micromanaging breath on May 2, 1972, a nearly 48-year reign of wiretaps, blackmail, and stylishly ominous fedoras. He outlasted eight presidents, proving that he didn’t just serve under them he obviously had dirt on all of them: 1. Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929) Probably too quiet to be blackmailed. 2. Herbert Hoover (1929-1933)  No relation, but still got bossed around. 3. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945)  Tried to rein him in. Failed. 4. Harry S. Truman (1945-1953) Called the FBI a Gestapo. Not wrong. 5. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961) A general, yet still no match for J. Edgar’s dossiers. 6. John F. Kennedy (1961-1963) Well let’s not get into that. 7. Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969) The only guy who might have been as ruthless as Hoover. 8. Richard Nixon (1969-1974) Paranoid, but Hoover was two steps ahead. Hoover was the ultimate deep-state puppet mast...

Dallas, TX — Call me a conspiracy theorist if you will, but I have finally accepted the notion that our own intelligence community killed JFK . The single most important reason I was convinced Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone involved the rifle he allegedly used.  The bolt action, Italian 6.5×52mm Carcano Model 91/38 Rifle was a total piece of crap.  It was clear to me that any reasonably financed group would never rely on that rifle for such an important task.   Oswald was seemingly living in a state of poverty and bought the cheapest rifle he could find in the Klein’s Sporting Goods , mail order advertisement.   Had he the money, Oswald could have spent a little more for a far superior rifle that he was familiar with as a Marine, the venerable M-1 Garand semi-automatic battle rifle.  Oswald seemed to be an easily manipulated fellow who effortlessly traveled to and from the Soviet Union.  Was he really a Castro sympathizer?   This now...

Lincoln, MT —In 1978 a two-decade bombing campaign began that untimely took three lives and maimed some 23 people.   Ingeniously hand constructed bombs were delivered, mailed or otherwise planted targeting people involved with advanced technology.   It was an effort to intimidate those involved to obstruct and discontinue their efforts. I worked on this massive investigation myself for among others, ABC News .   The FBI dubbed the bomber as the, " UNABOM " (UNiversity & Airline BOMber).   Their agents meticulously reconstructed the bombs in their investigative process that consumed many of their entire careers.     Everyone was trying to guess the reasoning behind this frightening serial killer’s actions.   The New York Times received a somewhat strange letter on April 24, 1995.   The author promised "to desist from terrorism" if the Times or the Washington Post published his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future (al...

Michael Hastings Los Angeles, CA —Award winning journalist Michael Hastings reportedly was under investigation by the FBI after his explosive interview and news story that led to the resignation of General Stanley McChrystal.  The sudden rash of conspiracy theories surrounding Hastings death seems to have serious merit.  As a long time investigator, I have obvious questions.  I have learned that Hastings was a good and temperate driver.  The 4:15 AM, June 18 th fiery crash of his Mercedes sedan in Los Angeles show signs of incredibly high speed that apparently caused the loss of control of the car by Hastings.   Very recently Hastings had complained to several people that he was under surveillance by the FBI .  The FBI is nothing more than an arm of Eric Holder’s Justice Department and they often get instructions from the very highest levels of government. The only thing that comes to mind is that Hastings must have been running from ...

Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .38 with Eagle Grips Secret Service grips in pink Kirtinite www.eaglegrips.com Washington, DC —Guns are stolen or sometimes simply lost.   You can believe that loads of hot guns are in criminal hands waiting for an opportunity for deadly mayhem. The ones reported stolen are listed by gun’s make, model and serial number are listed in the giant NCIC computer maintained by the FBI .   Additional information such as the police agency report number is also listed.   That’s so that a recovered guns can be used to prosecute the criminals in possession and so the gun could be returned to its owners. Incredibly, by law the government has kept this information secret from the public, licensed gun dealers and firearm repair businesses.   Guns that are bought, sold or repaired are never compared with the list of hot guns.   It’s impossible to say how many criminals avoid detection, arrest and punishment because of thi...

Los Angeles, CA -Old men, women and youngsters alike are reaping big rewards robbing banks. The banks reject armed security and strictly rely on cameras for help. A few banks rely on dye packets and transmitting tags but today's bank robbers nearly always get away clean. For some bank robbery is a gift that keeps on giving because they do it again and again. There seems to be less risk attached to bank heists than shoplifting at your local Wal-Mart . The metrosexuals at the new FBI should be hanging their heads in shame for failing on their primary mission. They have abdicated their responsibility here in favor of being Barack Obama’s thought police chasing dissident Conservatives like that Michigan militia group. That pathetic case is falling apart because there is much more to law enforcement than grandstanding for press conferences. Since L.A. has gun laws that enable rather than obstruct violent crime well-trained but disarmed law-abiding citizens can only be on the receivin...
