- The following article comes from the
- 'TC TECHNICAL CONSULTANT',
- Nov.-Dec., 1991 issue:
-
- "The death of a journalist in West Virginia, plus the jailing of an
- alleged CIA computer consultant in Washington State may be elements
- of a much wider scandal that could have serious implications for the
- Bush White House in 1992.
-
- "What started out as an investigation of an apparent case of pirated
- software has grown to be a project involving hundreds of journalists
- all over the world.
-
- "The dead journalist, Joseph Daniel 'Danny' Casolaro was found dead
- August 10th in a motel room in West Virginia. His wrists were slashed
- seven times on each wrist and a suicide note was found nearby. The
- only manuscript of his book, with accompanying notes, WAS MISSING.
-
- "The book, provisionally titled 'The Octopus', was meant to be an
- explosive expose of misdeeds by the Justice Department under the
- Reagan administration. Time Magazine also reported that Casolaro's
- research centered on gambling and attempted arms deals at the
- CABAZON reservation near Indio (California -Branton).
-
- "Indeed, the scope of Casolaro's investigation was so large that
- any one of a large number of areas of research could have been the
- trigger for a possible hit.
-
- "While authorities declared his death a suicide, his relatives
- definitely stated that Casolaro's mental state was sound, indeed
- upbeat, after the completion of his book.
-
- "Casolaro started his work nearly two years before, investigating
- the bankrupting of a small computer software company called Inslaw,
- allegedly by the U.S. Justice Department. INSLAW, a company headed
- by Bill and Nancy Hamilton of WashingtonD.C., had developed a
- package known as PROMIS -- short for Prosecutor's Management
- Information System -- to act as a case management tool for the
- Justice Department's unwieldy work load.
-
- "Inslaw President Bill Hamilton [NOT the well-known UFOresearcher -
- Branton] has claimed that Ed Meese associate EARL BRIAN was given
- control of pirated versions of the PROMIS software by Meese to sell
- back to different U.S. government agencies for great profit. Two
- courts have so far agreed with Hamilton awarding an 8 million dollar
- judgment, but a higher court of appeal has quashed the award and the
- verdict, declaring that it was not the jurisdiction of the lower
- courts. As of October 9, the case has moved into the realm of the
- Supreme Court.
-
- "EARL BRIAN OWNS UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL (UPI) and FINANCIAL NEWS
- NETWORK (FNN).
-
- "According to a Washington man, who claims to have modified the
- cobol-based software for the CIA and other intelligence agencies,
- the software was a reward for Earl Brian's role in arranging the
- so-called 'October Surprise' gambit, the alleged conspiracy to
- withhold the American hostages in Iran until after the 1980 election
- which saw Carter removed from power. The 'October Surprise' scandal
- has taken some time to emerge.
-
- "In a Paris meeting, President Bush is alleged to have met with Ali
- Akabar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the speaker of the Iranian Parliament,
- Mohammed Ali Rajai, the future President of Iran and Manucher
- Ghorbanifar, an Iranian arms dealer with connections to Mossad,
- according to Navy Captain Gunther Russbacher who claims to have
- flown Bush, William Casey -- the CIA chief -- and Donald Gregg, a
- CIA operative to that location. Russbacher, who made these
- allegations in May is now in jail on Terminal Island, convicted on
- the charge of impersonating a U.S. Attorney.
-
- "The Washington man is MICHAEL RICONOSCIUTO who is now waiting for
- a trial in a Washington jail on conspiracy to sell drugs charges,
- charges which Riconosciuto claims are manufactured. Indeed, the
- charge made against Riconosciuto were made one week after
- Riconosciuto authored and signed an affidavit describing his role in
- modifying the pirated software.
-
- "The affidavit also claimed that he had been contacted by phone and
- threatened by PETER VIDENIEKS [a Justice Department employee and
- Customs official who, Riconosciuto alleged, had intelligence ties]
- as to the possible consequences of his going public with certain
- information.
-
- "According to Riconosciuto, Videnieks was a frequent visitor to the
- Cabazon Indian reservation near Palm Springs and visited with tribal
- manager, John P. Nichols. Nichols was in essence Riconosciuto's
- boss in a number of enterprises conducted on reservation land and
- the PROMIS modification was just one of these projects. According
- to Riconosciuto, in an interview with T.C. conducted from jail, the
- PROMIS software was modified to install a backdoor access for use
- by American intelligence services. The software was then sold to
- 88 different countries as a sort of 'trojan horse' package enabling
- us to access their intelligence systems. According to Riconosciuto
- these countries included Iraq and Libya.
-
- "Correspondence between Nichols and other companies, if authentic,
- indicates that Riconosciuto's claims of his expertise in the area
- of electronics and armaments appear to be true. Marshall
- Riconoscuito, Michael's father is a reputed former business partner
- of Richard Nixon.
-
- "According to Riconosciuto, the fuzzy status of reservation land as
- 'sovereign' allowed elements of the CIA and organized crime to
- conduct business uniquely.
-
- "Among the projects worked on during this time were joint projects
- with WACKENHUT, a company loaded with former CIA and NSA personnel
- and business ventures with the Saudi Arabian royal family and other
- unusual projects.
-
- "A joint venture with Southern California Edison will soon be
- generating power for bio-mass drawn from local waste outlets.
- Biological warfare projects were investigated with Stormont
- laboratories looking into the creation of 'pathogenic viruses' and
- enhanced fuel-air explosive weapons were created and tested in
- league with Meridian Arms at the NEVADA TESTING RANGE which matched
- the explosive power of nuclear devices.
-
- "These enhanced weapons gained their power from polarizing the
- molecules in the gas cloud by modification of the electric field, a
- technology developed from exploring Thomas Townsend Brown's
- suppressed work, a knowledge which Riconosciuto claims he gained
- from working at LEAR in Reno, Nevada.
-
- "Riconosciuto is said to have worked on the enhanced fuel-air
- explosive weapons with Gerald Bull of Space Research Corporation.
- Bull, now deceased, later became an arms advisor to Saddam Hussein.
- It is said that HUSSEIN POSSESSES THE FAE TECHNOLOGY.
-
- "In July, Anson Ng, a reporter for the Financial Times of London
- was shot and killed in Guatemala. He had reportedly been trying to
- interview an American there named Jimmy Hughes, a one-time director
- of security for the Cabazon Indian Reservation secret projects.
-
- "In April, a Philadelphia attorney named Dennis Eisman was found
- dead, killed by a single bullet in his chest. According to a former
- federal official who worked with Eisman, the attorney was found dead
- in the parking lot where he had been due to meet with a woman who
- had crucial evidence to share substantiating Riconosciuto's claims.
-
- "Both Eisman's and Ng's deaths were declared suicides by authorities.
-
- "Fred Alvarez, a Cabazon tribal leader who was in vocal opposition
- to the developments on the reservation, was found shot to death
- with two friends in 1981. Their murder remains unsolved.
-
- "The leader of the House, Thomas Foley, announced last month that a
- formal inquiry will be initiated into the Inslaw case. Foley
- appointed Senator Terry Sanford as co-chairman of the joint
- congressional panel. Prior to his election, Senator Sanford was the
- attorney representing Earl Brian in his 1985 takeover bid for United
- Press International and was instrumental in appointing EarlBrian, a
- medical doctor, to the board of Duke Medical School, of which
- Sanford is President.
-
- "However, despite repeated requests from journalists to produce
- photographs showing Riconosciuto together with Brian, and requests
- to produce his passport showing his alleged trip to Iran, he has not
- yet done so. Also Riconosciuto failed to be able to describe Peter
- Videnieks to CNN's Moneyline program, claiming a medical condition
- prevented him from remembering clearly.
-
- "This led one former intelligence operative to speculate that we
- may be witnessing a very sophisticated intelligence operation being
- played out in public.
-
- "Former F.B.I. Special Agent, Ted Gunderson, speaks for
- Riconosciuto's credibility. Gunderson, who lives in Manhattan Beach,
- has worked with Riconosciuto for many years in his capacity as
- private investigator.
-
- "Together, according to Gunderson, they were responsible for
- thwarting a terrorist operation during the Los Angeles Olympics.
- According to Gunderson, Riconosciuto was well known in certain
- circles as a genius in almost all sciences.
-
- "The so-called drug operation broken up in Washington State was an
- electrohydrodynamic mining operation claimed Gunderson, using
- Townsend Brown technology. A videotape viewed by this journalist
- revealed metallic powders and apparent processes unrelated to drug
- manufacture. Indeed, a government analysis of soil samples revealed
- the absence of drug contamination, but a high concentration of
- barium. Barium is often found in high voltage related work.
-
- "Unsubstantiated information from an intelligence source claims that
- the current situation (with the scenario being carried out around
- former Wackenhut/Nevada Test Site worker Michael Riconosciuto and
- others? - Branton) is the visible effect OF A WAR CURRENTLY GOING
- ON IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY between a group centered in the
- CIA called AQUARIUS (around a powerful center KNOWN AS MJ-12) and
- a group known as COM-12 centered around Naval Intelligence. COM-12
- is reputedly trying to sustain a rearguard action to sustain and
- preserve constitutional government and is deliberately LEAKING
- INFORMATION damaging to the former group." (Take note of William
- Cooper's pro-constitution, anti-MJ/12 writings and his past
- association with high levels of Naval Intelligence. Also, one
- source has implied that "COM-12" may stand for an intelligence
- organization known as the "COMMITTEE OF 12", to which the notorious
- "Commander X" himself has apparent ties - Branton)
-
- In the same publication, same issue, there appeared a small article
- just following the one quoted above. Written by Thomas Zed, the
- article, titled "WACKENHUT'S CONNECTION WITH THE BLACK PROJECT
- WORLD", stated:
-
- "The Wackenhut company has a very close connection to the world of
- BLACK BUDGET PROJECTS. Besides being connected with the Cabazon
- venture mentioned in this issue it is also responsible, according
- to jailed computer consultant Michael Riconosciuto, FOR THE SECRET
- PROJECTS BEING UNDERTAKEN IN DULCE, NEW MEXICO where the JICARILLA
- INDIAN RESERVATION IS BEING SIMILARLY USED. (Note: The Underground
- Labs near Dulce are alleged to be tied-in with the Department of
- Energy, Rand Corp, Los Alamos Labs, MJ-12 and other 'secret
- government' controlled military-industrial organizations. It is
- believed to be the largest underground joint CIA-Alien laboratory
- of it's kind in the United States, and perhaps the world. Could the
- Cabazon reservation also hold an underground base? - Branton)
-
- "After sending two of my colleagues there recently AND RECEIVING
- CONFIRMATION THAT THERE WAS A TOP SECRET MILITARY TYPE INSTALLATION
- I decided to call the newspaper office and make an educated bluff.
-
- "I identified myself as a freelance reporter from Los Angeles-- and
- told the newspaper that I was doing a story on the Cabazon
- reservation biological warfare projects that had been undertaken
- there on behalf of the CIA. I told her that I had heard that there
- were similar things being done in Dulce and would like to know what
- was going on.
-
- "The official I spoke to BECAME FRIGHTENED and said, 'I can't talk
- to you about that! It would be very unprofessional of me to talk
- to you about that. You'll have to speak to the President of the
- tribe.' She then hung up.
-
- "I have yet to call back and ask the President of the tribe, but
- will report on that in the next issue.
-
- "Wackenhut is also responsible for security of a lot of UNDERGROUND
- FACILITIES in California and Nevada, including the notorious S-4 or
- Area 51 in Nevada where Townsend Brown flying disk technology
- (written about in a T.C. recent issue) has been flying and
- developing for decades.
-
- "A recent helicopter crash at the area, where two pilots and three
- security guards from Wackenhut flying in a Messerschmit BO-105
- helicopter were killed was not at all accidental claimed
- Riconosciuto, who said that the individuals aboard the helicopter
- were traveling with sensitive documents.
-
- "Groups are now investigating Riconosciuto's claims."
