Crytogon: Connecticut School Massacre

There are many legitimate questions to be asked and leads to be pursued by the public and by the police and the press, yet the latter has - as with all events of this nature - again shown an incredible lack of curiosity in pursuing these stories. Instead, the mainstream media focuses single-mindedly in the issue du jour, in this case gun control, in a full on assault upon one of the last amendments of the Bill of Rights that still remains relatively intact. Sadly, even a network that we appreciate and do link frequently here - RT - has joined in unison with the propaganda chorus, as Paul Craig Roberts has recently discovered...

BFP: Agenda Driven News

It might be putting it a little too strongly to say (but we will anyway) that when the media does this - suppress stories that could lead to the arrest of the guilty while hyping a political agenda instead - they end up meeting in certain respects the definition of terrorism. While they are not pulling the trigger, they do willfully provide cover for the trigger-pullers, and in so doing advance the political agenda that those perpetrators may or may not be seeking to advance. Call them second degree terrorists: Piers Morgan, Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams, etc.

Coming back to the subject later in his talk, Mulholland would only say that once the CIF landed at Sigonella, “other decisions took place subsequent to that that other commanders can speak to.”

Cryptome: Julian Assange - A Call to Cryptographic Arms

The world is not sliding, but galloping into a new transnational dystopia. This development has not been properly recognized outside of national security circles. It has been hidden by secrecy, complexity and scale. The internet, our greatest tool of emancipation, has been transformed into the most dangerous facilitator of totalitarianism we have ever seen. The internet is a threat to human civilization.

These transformations have come about silently, because those who know what is going on work in the global surveillance industry and have no incentives to speak out. Left to its own trajectory, within a few years, global civilization will be a postmodern surveillance dystopia, from which escape for all but the most skilled individuals will be impossible. In fact, we may already be there.

The CT Snuff Circuit

As read in Gods of Death by Yaron Svoray, "Reginald Smith", a banker from Connecticut, drives Svoray to a snuff film screening, presumably in Connecticut. Some details, as recounted in Chapter 16:  

The Viewing...

We were in a nice neighborhood: faux Tudor and Colonial architecture amidst large, stately oaks and elms.

I was going to see a snuff film...

There were nine men gathered in the living room. They all looked to be businessmen between the ages  of thirty and fifty... 

These men who sat alongside me were - what? Doctors, maybe. Lawyers, bankers. 

The video was brought to the premises by an older mafia type who evinces disgust at the proceedings, does not watch the video, but takes the money and leaves with the tape, insuring that it has not been copied. Likely he was a member of the Winter Hill gang...

Rense (Yoichi Shimatsu): MK-ULTRA Links To The Sandy Hook Assault

Around 1950... the CIA recruited a South Boston convict nicknamed “Whitey” Bulger to supply young runaways for mind-control experiments under the fast-expanding MK-ULTRA programs being set up at 44 universities across the United States. The centers for the New England drug experiments were probably the Whiting Forensic Facility at the Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middleford, Connecticut, and Bridgewater Hospital in Massachusetts, the region’s psychiatric facilities for the criminally insane...

Connecticut, under control of the Patriciarca crime family, was off-limits to Bulger. The day-to-day operations of the Sicilian immigrants were run by Bill Grasso, head of the clan that later produced Connecticut’s first female governor.

Starting in the 1980s, the DOJ, FBI and CIA launched an all-out war against the Patriciarca mob ­ in order to install their puppet Whitey Bulger as crime boss of New England. FBI agent John Connelly took credit for infiltrating and busting up the Patriarca clan, but later he was exposed as a mole for Bulger. By the early 1990s, Bulger set up his Jai Alai Associates, a betting syndicate based in Connecticut and Florida. Finally, all of New England was safe for CIA smuggling, support for terrorism, money-laundering and mind-control operations...


AANGIRFAN: "PEDOPHILE RINGS IN CONNECTICUT..."

Dan Lynch remembers Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook school in Connecticut.

Lynch says he remembers watching a sex-education movie, and Lanza saying he was about to throw up and needed to leave the room.

Was Lanza nervous because he was being sexually abused?...


WayneMadsenReport: Sandy Hook massacre's hooks into another tragedy

St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Newtown, where the Lanzas attended church and where Adam Lanza attended parochial school as a young boy, employed Father John Castaldo as a priest between 1998 and 2000. Castaldo, who was one of the five priests at the church, ministered to the St. Rose congregation while Adam Lanza was enrolled in the church's school. Lanza, born in 1992, would have been between 6 and 8-years old when Castaldo was at the church-school...

Castaldo must have had a charmed existence at St. Rose. While he served the church as the head of the youth group, he was also the chaplain for Connecticut State Police Troop A in Southbury and Troop G in Bridgeport. Castaldo was also involved in the prison ministry upon graduating from seminary. The Connecticut State Police have had the lead in the investigation of the Sandy Hook massacre and have leaked erroneous information to the media... 


On that note, the Yoichi Shimatsu article continues...

Whatever its genteel image of colonial homes and autumnal foliage, Connecticut has a sleazy underside embedded in its servant pool, welfare households and the chronic unemployed. Bridgeport, with its low-income Puerto Rican population, is a major center for prostitution and recruitment of prostitutes for VIP clients in New York and the nation’s capital.

The pedophile rings have a social-economic hierarchy ­ at the top are the VIP clients, then the intermediaries, often Catholic priests or social-services managers, further down the ladder the operatives losers recruited from prep schools and college campuses - and finally the supply itself - money-hungry willing parents and the unwillingly abducted children.

Newtown, like Fairfield and Stamford, is part of the Diocese of Bridgeport, which got into legal trouble in 2001 due to lawsuits by 23 victims of pedophilia committed by priests. Bishop Edward Egan, then diocese head, was a protector of sexual offender priests, sending them to other areas when parental complaints reached the ears of the police. After the plaintiffs won an out-of-court settlement, the Diocese petitioned the US Supreme Court to quash the thousands of documents detailing the beastly sex crimes. In 2009 Opus Dei honcho Justice Antonin Scalia determined that the court records should not be made public...

In Connecticut, the Vatican had an interest in wiping the slate clean, and so did the CIA. The clean slate turned out to be a bloody mess.

+

The picture that is developing out of these lines of investigation suggests that far from a lone gunman scenario, the vicious crime that was committed may actually have been a mafia hit, perpetrated in order to shut down a kiddie porn ring that perhaps was about to be rooted out - as Shimatsu notes, former state Attorney General and current U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal has been leading the charge against these pedophile rings. These investigations and prosecutions, we would add, could potentially open up the snuff film ring of which  Svoray caught a glimpse to the light of day, and bring down with it some very high level players in banking and in hedge funds - many of which are based along the Long Island Sound coast - as well as officials in the Vatican and in the Connecticut and U.S. governments.

The most important election held in the United States on Nov. 6 was not the one that determined which teleprompter reading, neuro-linguistic programmer would occupy our screens for the next four years (if that description is too obscure, we mean the President of the United States), it was the one in California that determined what citizens could choose or not choose to take into their digestive tracts for the rest of their lives. We speak of California Proposition 37, which if passed would require the labeling of GMO food products. Unfortunately, in spite of strong polling in favor of its passing before the election, it failed. This was due in part to an agri-business sponsored media blitzkrieg leading up to election day, but also by election fraud...

Lame Cherry: The Election BoxGATE

Amid all of these questions of the veracity of the election results, and with the persistent questions surrounding the Benghazi situation as well as Fast and Furious - two scandals that implicate the administration in at best negligent mass homicide - some electors designated to vote for the Democratic ticket may be persuaded to alter their votes. This has happened on occasion in the past for a variety of reasons given by so-called "faithless electors," though it has never changed the expected outcome of an election. There is always a first time for everything, however, and it is notable that the subject was of enough interest to some members of Congress to have this report completed on the eve of the general election...

...leaked documents revealed that the Obama administration “intends to bestow radical new political powers upon multinational corporations,” as Obama and Kirk have emerged as strong advocates “for policies that environmental activists, financial reform advocates and labor unions have long rejected for eroding key protections currently in domestic laws.”
