Scotland Yard investigates Diana slay plot as book details conspiracy

"The Increment’s operatives — drawn from the SAS and the Royal Navy’s Special Boat Service — had someone ride ahead of Fayed’s and Diana’s Mercedes in a white Fiat, and to cause the car to careen into the tunnel’s cement sides and pillars by shining a strobe light into the chauffeur’s eyes, Power said. 'The attack on Diana in the tunnel mirrored almost exactly a plot described by ex-SAS/MI6 agent Richard Tomlinson that Witness A from the inquests had concocted, when they served together as MI6 agents. This plot was hatched to murder Slobodan Milosevic, the former president of Serbia,' Power told The Post." Continue reading →

Researchers demand sealed files about JFK assassination be made public

"Fifty years after the assassination of President John F Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, researchers are still investigating his mysterious murder. Thousands of pages pertaining to the assassination are still sealed, and researchers are calling for a complete public release. The first official investigation found that Lee Harvey Oswald was acting alone, after failing to get a visa to Cuba and his wife Marina rejected his attempts at reconciliation. Another investigation in the mid-1970s said that the assassination was probably a conspiracy, after discovering audio files suggesting a second shooter." Continue reading →

Judge orders trial in allegedly missing Oklahoma City bombing video case

"A Salt Lake attorney who contends the FBI is hiding surveillance video associated with the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing might see his case go trial. At issue is whether the FBI adequately responded to Trentadue's Freedom of Information Act request for footage of Timothy McVeigh parking a truckload of explosives at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. Trenatdue claims the video will reveal a second bombing suspect who resembles but is not his brother. [The judge] has chastised U.S. Department of Justice several times for not producing the tapes since Trentadue sued in 2008." Continue reading →

Newly Released Watergate Wiretap List Raises Questions On ’72 Break-In

"Chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 1972, Larry O'Brien has long been said to be the target of the Nixon White House 'plumbers,' the off-the-books squad of political dirty-tricksters, break-in artists and wiretappers arrested in the Watergate office building on June 17, 1972. But O'Brien's name is not on the list of bugging targets released Monday by the National Archives and Records Administration, on order of Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. And that throws a wrench into generally accepted answer to the affair's central question: What were the burglars doing in the Watergate?" Continue reading →

Bloggers expose lavish lifestyles of Putin loyalists

"Bloggers who oppose Russian President Vladimir Putin are targeting top lawmakers loyal to the Kremlin with scandalous revelations about their luxury apartments and jet-setting lifestyles which run counter to their patriotic rhetoric. Top lawmakers and officials are obliged to declare property and income annually in a corruption-busting initiative proposed by Dmitry Medvedev under his presidency, but bloggers and investigative reporters have highlighted their undeclared wealth and assets."

Chelsea Clinton’s $10M digs at Madison Square

"Chelsea Clinton is buying a $10.5 million spread right across the street from Madison Square Park, sources told The Post yesterday. The former first daughter and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, signed a contract for the massive, 5,000-square-foot pad at The Whitman last month, the sources said. Last week, ex-President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton toured the apartment, graciously posing for photographs with the hard hats who were working at the building. Chelsea, 33, and Marc, 35, 'live in the neighborhood and found the building on their own while out walking,' a source said." Continue reading →

Warren Buffett’s Keystone Connection In One Chart

"Buffett's railroad interests have been doing quite well since the government's suspension of Keystone Pipeline extension. His key railroad interest, Burlington Northern, is the preferred alternative petroleum shipping method to the Keystone Pipeline. This is interesting because Buffett bought his stake in Burlington Northern just before the government halted the Keystone project, and he allegedly influenced the government's decision to suspend. And how much reward has Buffett reaped from the Burlington Northern/State Department deal? Keep in mind that demand for gasoline has been tanking while rail car loadings of petroleum have been going parabolic." Continue reading →

CFR Floats Neo-Bretton Woods to Create a New Monetary System

"This article is bylined by Benn Steil of the Council on Foreign Relations. The groundwork is apparently being prepared. The plan has evidently always been a global currency. And it is marching closer. The world is in a mess and surely the post-Bretton Woods system is responsible for it. One hundred and fifty central banks now administer the world's money, many under the supervision of the mysterious Bank for International Settlements. Whatever goes on in the world financially is a product of what has gone before. With money stuff controlled the marketplace itself is organized and directed. The free market exists from a production standpoint but not from a demand standpoint." Continue reading →

Serious Revolving Door Move (Hedge Fund Edition)

"Hedge fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones has hired one of the International Monetary Fund’s most senior officials, reports FT. Lorenzo Giorgianni, the deputy head of the IMF’s policy department (!!), will join Jones’s Tudor Investment Corporation in October according to FT. This is serious stuff. IMF and World Bank people have access to all kinds of insider data about money flows and where money is placed. Just in casual conversations with IMF and World Bank people, I have learned all kinds of very valuable information. I know for example that Slovenia is most likely the next country to experience a financial crisis, because a senior guy at one of these organizations told me." Continue reading →

Where Bank Regulators Go to Get Rich

"Mary Schapiro, the former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, must take us for fools. Four months after leaving the SEC, Schapiro is joining a firm stuffed to the gills with former government financial-services regulators peddling their knowledge of Washington’s regulatory thicket to the banks and financial-services companies they once oversaw. Promontory, founded in 2001 by Eugene Ludwig, a former comptroller of the currency, has become a sort of mini-version of Fannie Mae in its heyday. About 100 of the 400 Promontory employees are former Washington regulators." Continue reading →
