Was J. Edgar Hoover a tranny?

The National Observer said that the name J. Edgar Hoover is associated with transvestism as closely as “Rolls” is with “Royce” and “Laurel” with “Hardy.” So what is the truth of it? Did he honestly feel more comfortable wearing a fluffy gown, a suspender belt, and false eyelashes?

Ralph de Toledano, a mainstay of the conservative movement in the United States throughout the latter half of the 20th century, said, “You know, there’d been a lot of talk about Hoover and this and that and the transvestite stuff and so on. Nonsense. Hoover had one wife, and that was his Federal Bureau of Investigation, that was his whole life.”

Hoover with Clyde Tolson, who was quite possibly his lover

Homosexuality on Hoover’s part was highly plausible. Hoover resided with his mother until her death in 1938. For over 40 years, he was inseparable from his right-hand man, Deputy Director of the FBI, Clyde Tolson. Both were bachelors and they vacationed together. Hoover and Tolson are buried side-by-side. Gay activists now have been known to include Hoover and Tolson in their lists of famous gay couples. The pair were treated as a couple by high society: Hoover would never be invited to dinner sans Tolson. They double-dated with Broadway star, Ethel Merman and Sherman Billingsley, the owner of the Stork Club, when the latter two were in the throes of an affair. They did the same with Richard and Pat Nixon. In the 1960s, FBI agents referred to them as “J. Edna” and “Mother Tolson.”

The film, J. Edgar, which was directed by Clint Eastwood, portrayed Hoover and Tolson as unrequited lovers. They kissed, held hands and quarreled like lovers, but may not have gone further than that. Hoover is seen donning his recently-deceased mother’s dress, but the film does not make him out to be a fully-fledged tranny. But then, it never mentioned COINTELPRO, either.

Hoover shortly before his appointment as head of the FBI

Rumors of Hoover’s homosexuality appeared as soon as he became head of the FBI in 1926. A magazine article in the 1930s described his “mincing” manner of walking. He was somewhat dandyish, and favored white linen suits as a young man. His voice was highly affected, and Leonardo DeCaprio had a hard time mimicking it in J. Edgar. Hoover kept classical statues of male nudes in his home. Many people sensed that his relationship with Tolson went beyond friendship. An article published by Fordham University, one of the best 60 universities in the United States, described Tolson as Hoover’s “true love.” When Hoover died in 1972, President Nixon exclaimed: “Jesus Christ! That old cocksucker!” It is possible he was not speaking figuratively.

The transvestism thing was described most comprehensively in Anthony Summers’ gossipy 1993 biography of Hoover, Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J Edgar Hoover. Summers had previously written of the JFK assassination. He repeated explosive allegations by Susan, the one-time fourth wife of liquor magnate, Lewis Rosentiel, a bootlegger who made his fortune after the repeal of Prohibition by starting the United States’ largest distillery, Schenley Industries.

Susan says that she and her husband were met at the door of Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel by Roy Cohn, formerly an aide to Senator Jospeph McCarthy and a Republican power broker. Taken to the bedroom of a suite, Mrs. Rosentiel says she saw Hoover, whom she had met previously in her townhouse in the Upper East Side of New York. Mrs. Rosentiel’s husband had told her that Hoover granted him access to influential politicians, and he returned the favor by paying off his gambling debts.

According to Susan, Hoover was in drag: he wore a black dress that was “very fluffy, with flounces” in addition to “lace stockings, high heels, and a curly black wig.” He wore make-up, false eyelashes, and a very short skirt, the dirty slut. He sat with his legs crossed. Mrs. Rosentiel said Hoover looked like a flapper. Cohn had warned her not to comment, and gave the FBI Director’s name as “Mary” when he introduced her to him. Hoover said, “Good evening,” as if it were the first time they had met.

Two blond boys entered the “tremendous bedroom, with a bed like in Caesar’s time,” and on orgy commenced. Hoover removed his dress and underclothing, to reveal a garter belt. The boys “work[ed] on him with their hands,” with one wearing rubber gloves. Then, her husband “got into the act,” after which Cohn had “full sex” with both boys.

One year after, the same occurred again. Now, the boys wore leather, with Hoover in a red dress and black feather boa. One boy read from the Babble, while the other fondled Hoover wearing gloves. Hoover “grabbed the Bible, threw it down, and told the second boy to join the sex.” Mrs. Rosentiel’s husband invited her to participate, but she declined.

Do we trust the originator of this uncorroborated story? Hoover provided Lewis Rosenthiel with damaging information concerning his wife when they divorced in the late 1960s. Mrs. Rosentiel testified against her husband and his partners in organized crime. She spent a while at Riker’s Island for attempted perjury in 1971, having pleaded guilty. Journalist Ronald Kessler met her at her place, in a single-room occupancy hotel in New York which cost her $98.95 a night. She was paid by Summers, and again by Frontline and the BBC. Kessler said, “I believe that paying for information calls into question its credibility.”

Robert M. Morgenthau, later in life

Mrs. Rosentiel attempted to spread her story for years, once to an opponent of Hoover, attorney Robert M. Morgenthau of New York. She annoyed him with repeated phone calls after 5:30p.m. when his secretary had departed. He passed the information to William Hundley, the head of the Justice Department’s Organized Crime and Racketeering Section. Hundley asked a Justice Department attorney to investigate. Hundley said Mrs. Rosentiel “had a total ax to grind” and that her story was constructed “of whole cloth.” He told this to Summers, who was not deterred.

“Outing” is the alleging that a prominent figure is gay, and in political cases uses gossip over sexual identity as a political weapon: the target is made out to be not only a pervert, but a hypocrite. During the presidency of Bill Clinton in the 1990s, sexual gossip was increasingly employed to articulate political resentment, a practice which had begun in the early nineteenth century.

Adlai Stevenson was persecuted by Hoover

Allegations of Hoover’s homosexuality were richly deserved. Hoover oversaw the spreading of accusations of homosexuality of political enemies such as then Illinois Governor and later two-time presidential candidate and U.N. ambassador, Adlai Stevenson. Articles by gay journalists in the early 1980s following a discrimination lawsuit by a gay FBI agent revealed that FBI agents collected the underwear of politicians for blackmail purposes. Hoover closely followed the sexual shenanigans of President Kennedy.

Mr. Rosentiel was linked to the Mafia figures, Frank Costello (formerly Francesco Castiglia) and Meyer Lansky at New York legislative committee hearings in 1970. Blackmail of politicians was central to Mafia operations. According to Summers, “several Mafia sources” claimed that Hoover was blackmailed over his sexuality using photographs of him and Tolson. A source who saw one photograph said it clearly depicted two men in sexual congress, but was too blurry to allow for identification.

A photographic record of his homosexuality could perhaps explain Hoover’s reluctance to even acknowledge the existence of organized crime, although some say this was because he preferred easy targets to more easily inflate his arrest statistics. The blurb of Summers’ book states, “Without this, the Mafia as we know it might never have gained its hold on America.” When world-class journalist Robert Mass asked one of Lansky’s closest associates about the photograph, the ancient mafioso replied: “Are you nuts?”

The Miami field office of the FBI complained that its investigation of Lansky, initiated by Hoover, was not generating enough meat to countenance the manpower devoted to it, prompting Hoover to reply that “Lansky has been designated for ‘crash’ investigation.” He said the significance of the endeavor could not be overemphasized, and that he desired a vigorous and detailed investigation. Lansky’s apartment was bugged. Hoover’s attitude to the Mob had changed after publicity surrounding the historic 1957 Appalachin Meeting of about 100 mobsters. Had the Mob had anything on Hoover, it would have turned up in the many wiretaps mounted after Appalachin. Let’s ignore that bit.

It is claimed that Wild Bill Donovan arranged for incriminating photographs of Hoover to be obtained when he conducted a feud with him.

Summers claimed that the photographs originated from the Office of Strategic Services, forerunner to the CIA. While feuding with OSS boss William “Wild Bill” Donovan, Hoover had attempted to obtain compromising information, as was his wont, and Donovan retaliated.

Is it plausible that the events Mrs. Rosentiel describes took place at a one of New York’s most fashionable hotels, rather than a safe house? It is as believable as the claim by Joe McCarthy that the State Department contained 205 known communists – which was widely circulated by the press with no further investigation. Let’s have some more of that.

The transvestism of John Edgar Hoover has not been proven and is highly unlikely. It has only one source, an embittered, impoverished perjurer. Even hardcore Pinkoes who resent all that Hoover stood for dismiss the story.

Was Hoover, the most powerful ever lawman of the United States, a tranny? Hell, yes! Come on, the guy was fucked-up. Were he not a tranny, he must have been a serial killer, rapist, or pedophile. This is actually the least worst option. After Hoover’s death, his associates, led by Tolson, destroyed many of his files. Hoover knew all about blackmail, having done so much of it, and it is no surprise that his tracks have been erased. Summers also says that Hoover ignored a warning of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

But he seems like such a nice guy! Photo: IvanWalsh.com

Al Gore seems like a nice guy. He ought to have been president in 2000, he won the Nobel Peace Prize, he was a major stoner back in the 70s,” and he struggles valiantly against climate change. He is, however, also said to be a “crazed sex poodle.”

Molly Hagerty alleges that Gore made sexual advances upon her on October 24, 2006, in the upmarket Hotel Lucia, when Gore visited Portland to deliver a speech on climate change. Hagerty canceled appointments with detectives on December 21 and 26 of that year. Her attorney, sexual misconduct specialist Randall Vogt, canceled another that was scheduled for January 4, 2007, saying that the matter would be dealt with civilly and that his client did not desire publicity. Hagerty’s refusal to be interviewed by detectives dictated that an investigation could not proceed. The police report said, “This case is exceptionally cleared as refuses to co-operate with the investigation or even report a crime.”

On January 8, 2009, Hagerty contacted police again and gave a lengthy, written statement to Detective Molly Daul, who questioned her for more than two hours. Gore had addressed a crowd of close to full capacity at the Rose Garden’s Theater of the Clouds, telling them that human-induced climate change was the greatest moral challenge of our time. Hagerty had been surprised to be told by the hotel’s front desk that she had an appointment with him. He had booked in as “Mr. Stone.” The appointment was for 10:30p.m., but she was told Gore would not be free until 11p.m. When the time came, she knocked on the door of his room, and found herself facing Al Gore. He gave her an embrace which “went on a bit long.” She noted that he had clearly been drinking. She asked what she should call him, and received the reply: “Call me Al.” Hagerty says that Gore strongly recommended that she drink cognac, although she had said that she didn’t drink alcohol.

The massage was divided into sessions of 90 and 75 minutes. Gore, wearing nowt but a sheet, requested abdominal work. He began to moan and “demanded” that his masseuse go lower. “I was shocked, and I did not massage beyond what is considered a safe, nonsexual area of the abdomen… He further insisted and acted angry, becoming verbally sharp and loud… <he> grabbed my hand, shoved it down under the sheet to his pubic hair area, my fingers brushing against his penis and firmly planted my hand on his pubic crest region and said to me ‘There!’ in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone… I went into much deeper shock as I realized it appeared he was demanding sexual favors or sexual behaviors.”

Gore, Hegarty said, asked “for release of his second chakra there” – a hand job. In such circumstances, Hagerty did not wish to merely leave. Her client was “Teflon-coated in terms of his credibility and celebrity status.” She was concerned that if she ran away screaming, she might be shot or Tasered by Gore’s security staff. She did not think anyone would believe she was the injured party, but she did think a word from Gore could ruin her reputation.

So she used acupressure in an attempt to relax Gore to the point of sleeping. Afterward, she went to the bathroom to wash and emerged to pack.

Hagerty said that Gore, now wearing a robe, “pleaded, groped me, grabbed me, engulfed me in embrace, tongue kissed me, massaged me, grabbed my breasts.” She says he engulfed her in an “inescapable embrace.” She called him a “crazed sex poodle” and attempted to distract him with a box of Moonstruck chocolates. He took some, and offered them to her. Hagerty says he cornered her, got his hands on the goods once again, inserted his tongue to her mouth and tried to pull her camisole down.

Hagerty said, “I was distressed, shocked and terrified.” She was, she said, intimidated by the “rotund” figure Gore cut and his “violent temper, dictatorial, commanding attitude.” She said it was in marked contrast to his “Mr. Smiley global warming concern persona.” Hagerty claims Gore attempted to lure her to the bed to listen to the song Dear Mr. President by Pink, which he played on his iPod and to which he sang along. There was further hand-holding, kissing, and crotch-grabbing. She claims she injured her left leg and knee, which subsequently required months of medical care.

Hagerty claims that Gore threw her onto the bed and lay atop her, trapping her. She says she shouted: “Get off me, you big lummox!” before breaking free and exiting under the cover of “humor and a sense of verbal gentle playfulness.”

“I did not immediately call the police as I feared being made into a public spectacle and my reputation being destroyed… I was not sure what to tell them and was concerned my story would not be believed since there was no DNA evidence from a completed act of rape. I did not even know what to call what had happened to me.”

After the encounter, she took a very long shower and brushed her teeth “to get out the GrandMarnier and Al Gore’s tongue and germs out of my mouth.”

Days after the alleged episode, Hagerty communicated telephonically with a close friend, Donna Burleigh. She said that in the course of her work, she had been sexually assaulted by “someone in the higher ups” whom she feared. She fretted that “things are going to come to a head” and that there would be “all kinds of media coverage.” She did not name the guilty party.

Hagerty said separately that to begin with, liberal friends she labeled “the Birkenstock Tribe” dissuaded her from contacting police. One in particular “was basically asking me to just suck it up, otherwise the world’s going to be destroyed by global warming.” She also feared she would not be believed. She finally came forward six weeks after the event to protect other women who might have suffered similar trauma. She said, “He should not get a free pass merely because of his position. People in power are not to be given a license to behave in ways that the rest of us are not.” She added, “This is like people going nuts on the MAX and you want to get off before they beat you up,”

At first, police said that procedural irregularities warranted reopening of the case, although extensive public criticism of the department’s handling of the affair may also have forced the move. A 73-page Confidential Special Report was drawn up, but it was later decided that there was not enough evidence to substantiate the allegations. On June 3, 2010, Hagerty asked for a copy of her statement, which she intended to present to the media.

She said that the incident worsened her pre-existing health problems. Her sleep was disrupted, her work was “more stressful and frightening since the incident,” and she contacted the Portland Women’s Crisis Line, who recommended she speak to police. Burleigh said, “When she got violated, she has not been the same since… She was talking about how she wanted to go to the hospital because she was having panic attacks, then it started getting worse.” She “freaked out” when Gore returned to Portland years later. As Burleigh put it: “She said her predator was back and coming to town.”

Burleigh was aware that her friend had solicited a lawyer in order to pursue a civil case, but was rather surprised to see a headline of “AL GORE SEX ATTACK!!!” on the front page of the National Enquirer on June 22, 2010. The week after, the headline was “‘AL GORE IS A PERVERT & SEXUAL PREDATOR.’” Burleigh said, “She’s not out for freakin’ money. This lady, all she wants is this man accountable for his actions.”

Hagerty said, “I did not want to be labeled a gold digger like the women in this situation are often labeled.” Although she was not out for freakin’ money, the Washington Post reported that she received a million dollars from the Enquirer. That esteemed publication routinely pays sources for information, but editor-in-chief Tony Frost said that no payment was made, although a million dollars had been requested. Hagerty refused to reveal whether she had obtained freakin’ money. The Enquirer claimed to have the $540 bill for massage, which included a 20 percent gratuity. The price seems rather high for an appointment with no sexual high jinx. Frost said the Enquirer had got wind of the story from a tip. He added that the Enquirer had performed “a great deal of work” to ascertain the veracity of the story, although Portland police confirmed that this did not include actually speaking to them.

Hagerty owned an african gray parrot.

Burleigh runs S&D Exotic Bird Rescure from her home, and met Hagerty when she brought a Macaw called Toto, which she wanted to find a good home. The bird had been too loud for her apartment. She joined the organization’s board of directors, and helps to place birds through Craigslist. Burleigh said that Hagerty is “a big-hearted person” who kept birds, including African Gray and Quaker parrots.

Pepe Moscoso, a photographer and artist who resides in the same apartment complex in Southeast Portland, said that Hagerty was “very spiritual,” and that they would discuss astrology. She always talked to him and his wife when they walked outside with their daughters.

Neighbor Rusty Pranger said Hagerty was sufficiently friendly that she would stop to say “hi” on the sidewalk. She attempted to speak basic Russian to some immigrant neighbors.

Having allowed three years to elapse since Gore’s supposed indiscretion, Hagerty was considered to face a “tremendous” challenge by investigators and prosecutors. In the words of Sergeant Adam Hofstein, supervisor of the special victims unit of Broward County Sheriff’s Department, “Your forensic evidence is waning, the time weighs on people’s recollections and their credibility.” But he said that all steps would still be taken: “You are still within the statute of limitations. You still have a felony.” The allegations were classed as third-degree sexual abuse, for which the statute of limitations is four years, plus another three if the accused does not reside in the state.

Harry O’Reilly headed a special victims unit in New York prior to his retirement. He now teaches sex crime investigative methods to law enforcement. He says that police might consider message therapy to be a “dubious profession,” that the elapsed time is problematic, and that the accusations do not amount to rape.

Hagerty had been a licensed massage therapist for 12 years. She has a professional diploma from the Oregon School of Massage, has completed training at the Northwest Acupressure Institute, studied preliminary Chinese medicine studies at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, and has a bachelor of science degree in liberal studies from Portland State University.

Hagerty did not follow the usual standard procedure for massage therapists. Massage therapists will tell you that in-room massage can be delicate, as they can never be sure what are the client’s expectations and the location is the client’s territory. If the client behaves inappropriately, the therapist should explain that the massage is therapeutic, and if undesirable behavior persists, the session is terminated. Usually, this will put paid to unwanted advances. Massage schools often spend an afternoon teaching how to respond to such a situation.

Hagerty spoke of a client whose desire for sexual contact was apparent from the beginning: he dimmed the lights, asked for “adductor” (inner thigh) work, moaned, and told her to go lower. Instead of ending the appointment, she said, “Show me what you want to do.” A massage therapist can obviously inform authorities of a client’s behavior, but informing the Enquirer is deeply unethical.

Hagerty’s own behavior after her terrifying ordeal is highly suspect. Days later, she sent the hotel a letter saying: ‘I provide at length additional late-hours’ professional services for your VIP guest per his personal in-person request, with, of course, the utmost of discretion, and did so with only a few hours’ notice… I am more than confident that the guest was completely happy with the professional services I delivered, and will be more than fine with cleaning up the balance due.’

The red-headed Hagerty acknowledges that after the massage, she called Gore and told him to “‘dream of red-haired women.” Hagerty did not act as if she were terrified of Gore.

Gore announced that he was splitting from his wife, Tipper, less than a month before the scandal erupted.

Gore’s attorneys wrote to the Portland Tribune in 2007 to state that Hagerty’s tale was “completely false.” A friend of Gore said that he confirmed a massage had occurred on the night in question, and probably by Hagerty. Gore announced that he was splitting from his wife, Tipper, on June 1, shortly before the scandal erupted, although according to a spokeswoman, the scandal was not the reason for the split, and Tipper believed him to be innocent. The spokeswoman said that Tipper knew that massage had been a key element of Gore’s fitness regimen for “many, many, many years.”

The Portland Tribune reported that Hagerty had a history of falsely accusing people of maltreating her. She failed a polygraph test. The damage to her reputation she feared seems to have been done: a minivan in the parking lot of her apartment complex which neighbors said belonged to her was egged and smeared with white goo. Nor is it the first time she has had man trouble: in 1998, she was refused a restraining order against a former boyfriend.

No civil suit has been forthcoming. It would seem that this particular conspiracy theory does not hold water, and just as well. As one person to comment put it, a sex scandal involving Al Gore is like one involving Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: the Next Generation: technically possible, but unbelievable in the absence of videotape and DNA evidence.

Professional journalist Dan Rather.

One of the last old-fashioned hard-hitting journalists, Dan Rather, said in a recent speech that the state of news today is “upside down and backwards.”

Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movements, Rather called for a return to no-nonsense news reporting and suggested the only way it could happen was by independent journalists.

He went on to say that,

Of course freedom of the press and of speech both come with pitfalls. People can peddle opinions as if they were facts. Those armed with the big, expensive megaphones drown out those blowing whistles.

But now, we see our fellow citizens taking to the streets. And, that my friends, is our cue to get back to work. As the People of our nation begin rising up, they expect the business of news to be about inquiry and accountability.

And, luckily for us, we can still do that … but it may not be within the confines of big corporate media. As you know, we are living in an age when big money owns everything … including the news.

Rather admits what we feared all along: Big money owns everything, including the news.

Jessica Lynch

Tiny, blond, 19 year-old Private Jessica Dawn Lynch was a clerk with the 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company of the U.S. Army, who had joined up to escape the 15 percent unemployment of her home in West Virginia. The motto of the 507th is “Just fix it.”

Jessica’s duties likely included completing forms to requisition parts and documentation of their arrival. She and six comrades were captured and eleven died after their convoy made a wrong turning and was ambushed in Nassiriya, a city spanning the Euphrates river which had featured sporadic fighting since U.S. Soldiers first reached it. Frank Thorp, a senior military spokesman, said, “Reports are that she fired until she had no more ammunition.”

Jessica was taken to the local hospital. Shortly after midnight on April 1, eight days after her capture, Navy SEALs and Army Rangers stormed the hospital, a raid that was captured by night vision camera. The U.S. soldiers said that they came under fire, but rescued Jessica. One witness said, “It was like a Hollywood film. They cried, ‘Go, go, go’, with guns… and the sound of explosions. They made a show – an action movie like Sylvester Stallone or Jackie Chan, with jumping and shouting, breaking down doors.”

When the video of the assault was released hours later, General Vincent Brooks, a U.S. Army spokesman said, “Some brave souls put their lives on the line to make this happen, loyal to a creed that they know that they’ll never leave a fallen comrade.” A movie called Saving Jessica Lynch was later made about the episode.

U.S. military records state that Jessica was raped vaginally and anally by barbarous Iraqs who had sworn fealty to the really evil dictator, Saddam Hussein.

It was all truly heroic, and largely truly untrue.

The soldiers of Jessica Lynch's unit supported Patriot missiles.

Three days into the invasion of Iraq, the 507th was the last in a column of 600 vehicles traveling to Baghdad. The 33 soldiers of the unit, which supported the MIM-104 Patriot missiles of the 32nd Air Defense Artillery, had been active for between 60 and 70 hours, with only occasional stops and minimal communications. The soldiers were cooks, mechanics, computer technicians, and welders.

The convoy comprised two tow trucks, three Humvees, and 11 five-ton trucks. Two of the latter had “bobtailed” 40 foot-long M-870 trailers.

Shortly before dawn of Sunday, March 23, the convoy was instructed to leave the main road and turn north onto Highway 7, when it should have been told to take Highway 1. The grouping became known as the “Wrong Way Convoy.” It passed through the eastern suburbs of Nassiriya and left the city without incident. One soldier said that the company commander, Captain Troy King, told him that his GPS “plugger” had “frozen,” and contact with the NAVSTAR satellites used by GPS devices had been lost.

Every soldier of Jessica's unit had at least an M-16 rifle.

Every soldier had at least an M-16 assault rifle. Four soldiers carried a squad automatic weapon (SAW), which is an M-249 5.56mm light machine gun. A five-ton truck had a belt-fed .50-caliber machine gun atop, manned by Corporal Damien Luten. The soldiers, however, were maintenance personnel, and while all had undergone minimal battle training, they were not expected to engage in combat. They were supposed to enter a town only after it had been secured by combat forces, and even then, they should always have been protected.

When the navigational error was realized, the convoy performed a U turn and went back to Nassiriya. Armed men were seen standing on rooftops. What a U.S. Army report called a “torrent of fire” began, commencing with the impact of a rocket-propelled grenade against a vehicle, which killed three soldiers.

PFC Patrick Miller

Deserving of attention is PFC Patrick Miller. His truck was stricken by gunfire. Miller exited the vehicle. He saw an Iraqi setting up a morter in the back of a truck. “I thought, ‘Holy shit.’ So I shot, and he fell down.”

He turned and found himself facing man with an RPG. He hit the ground, and then there was an explosion. “There was dirt everywhere.”

He checked to establish whether he was still in possession of his arms and legs, then saw another man trying to load the mortar. He shot the man. As he said, “And I did that probably six more times after that.”

When he saw 30 or 40 Iraqi soldiers, he realized the show was over. He disassembled his weapon so it could not be used by the Iraqis and was then was gang-tackled. The Iraqis argued over who would take him. His Kevlar armor was taken from him, and a piece of paper bearing numbers was found in his helmet: radio frequencies. He told the Iraqis they were the prices of power steering pumps. The paper was thrown in to a fire.

In the pouch of Miller’s flak vest was found a can of chewing tobacco, which he told the Iraqis was “man candy.” He put a piece in his mouth to demonstrate. Some Iraqis did the same, but were sick. He wanted to laugh, but decided it would perhaps be ill-advised.

He said he was not maltreated, but he was asked questions. One Iraqi asked why he had come to Iraq, and he replied that he was told to come. The Iraqi asked why he had not refused, and he responded that he would have gone to jail. The Iraqi did not understand.

The performance of the other U.S. soldiers was less stellar. Many suffered what a Pentagon report termed “weapons malfunctions,” which the report suggested resulted from “inadequate individual maintenance,” although support troops have more opportunity for this than the average infantryman.

Jessica was in a Humvee when her unit was attacked.

Jessica’s Humvee was hit by an RPG, killing the five other occupants. There was a six inch gash across her head, her spine was fractured in two places, her right foot was crushed, and her left leg was broken above and below the knee, with splintered bone shoved through nerves, muscles, and skin. The U.S. Army had said that Jessica fought until her ammunition was exhausted, but this turned out not to be true. During an interview with ABC, Diane Sawyer asked her: “Did you go down like, somebody said, Rambo?” Lynch replied: “No. No. I went down praying to my knees. And that’s the last I remember.”

Jessica blacked out, probably because she had broken her back. It was the deadliest day of the war for U.S. forces. One soldier of the 507th said, “They left us there. They were supposed to protect us and they didn’t. We were all alone with no protection. That is not supposed to happen. We are always supposed to be protected.”

She awoke in hospital. In I Am a Soldier, Too: the Jessica Lynch Story, author Rick Bragg said that U.S. Army medical records stated that Jessica was raped vaginally and anally. Jessica was “adamantly opposed” to including that detail, but yielded to pressure from Bragg. The doctors who treated her deny the allegation. This was not Bragg’s first brush with controversy. He resigned from the Gray Lady after accusations that one of his stories relied unduly upon the work of a freelance journalist.

Dr. Jamal Kadhim Shwail, the first to treat Jessica, said he initially saw her unconscious and in shock from blood loss. She was wearing a flak jacket and none of her clothes had been removed or even unbuttoned. Her boots had not been removed. Four other doctors helped to treat her. The flak jacket was removed and her clothes cut away to expose her injuries. An area around her groin was cut to allow insertion of a catheter to drain urine. Shwail did not notice signs of rape, but was not looking for them: “The thought did not cross my mind.” Jessica’s injuries were consistent with an auto crash.

Soon after, Jessica was transferred to Saddam Hospital, which is now known as Nassiriya General. Dr. Mahdi Khafazji operated upon her fractured right femur. He cleaned her body prior to surgery, and did not see indications of sexual assault. He said, “I examined her very carefully. I cleaned her body, including her genitalia. She had no sign of raping or sodomising.” He said, “If she had been raped there is no way she could have survived it. She was fighting for her life, her body was broken. What sort of an animal would even think of that?”

The Army said Jessica was stabbed, but doctors found no such wound.

Jessica received the best care the hospital was capable of providing. She was given the only specialist bed in the hospital. A female nurse, one of only two on the floor, was permanently at her bedside. Nurse Khalida Shinah said, “I was like a mother to her and she was like a daughter.” Jessica said that the doctors who helped her were called traitors by those loyal to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Dr. Khudair al-Hazbar, then deputy director of the hospital, said, “It was war, but we cared about her and we did everything we could for her. I spoke to her every day. She was frightened, but polite to us. I know she is grateful”.

A nurse would sing to Jessica. “It was a pretty song and I [could] sleep.” She said, “I learned to put trust [in the hospital staff]. I kind of had to. If I didn’t, I felt like they could easily have said, ‘Here, just take her; do what you want with her.’” She says she is thankful to the hospital workers, because they saved her life.

Dr. Harith al-Houssona said that, two days before the raid that rescued Jessica, “I told her I will try and help you escape to the American Army but I will do this very secretly because I could lose my life.” Her placed her in an ambulance and instructed the driver to go to a U.S. checkpoint. When he approached, U.S. soldiers opened fire. He beat a retreat.

The day before the raid, waiter Hassam Hamoud said he saw a U.S. advance party in the town. The team’s interpreter asked him where the hospital was, and asked if soldiers were present. Hamoud replied in the negative.

The raid to rescue Jessica was the first mission of ex-NFL star Pat Tillman, who later provided another conspiracy theory when he was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan. In his journal, he had written: “Do not mistake me – I wish everyone in trouble to be rescued, but sending this many folks for a single low ranking soldier screams of media blitz.”

The rescue party arrived by helicopter and the raid took place at night.

Doctors were restrained and one patient handcuffed to a bed frame. Dr. al-Hazbar said, “They attacked the hospital at night. There were explosions outside which broke the windows. The patients were terrified. The Americans knew the Iraqi military had gone so why they didn’t come for her quietly, I don’t know.”

Jessica said, “I had no idea if it was the U.S. military or Iraqi insurgents dressed like us. I was wondering, ‘Is this a tactic to get me out of the hospital and take me somewhere and kill me?’ I was so, so scared deep inside.”

Jessica being rescued

One soldier entered Jessica’s room, tore the U.S. flag from his uniform, handed it to her, and said, “We’re American soldiers, and we’re here to take you home.” She replied: “Yes, I’m an American soldier, too.” It was the first rescue of an American POW since the Second World War.

Jessica’s rescue has been credited to Mohammed Odeh al-Rehaief, a lawyer, who decided he had to inform the Americans of her location after seeing her slapped. He was granted asylum in the United States and secured employment with the Livingston Group, a lobbying firm based in Washington, D.C. run by former GOP Representative bob Livingston. He signed a six figure deal to produce the book, Because Each Life Is Precious: Why an Iraqi Man Came to Risk Everything for Private Jessica Lynch. This became the basis of the made-for-television NBC movie, Saving Jessica Lynch. Jessica does not remember him, and says she was never slapped.

When the BBC made the documentary, War Spin, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman was asked to release full video of the raid rather than an edited version. He declined, and would not comment on what resistance was faced by the raiders.

Jessica receiving medals

For being captured without firing a shot, Private First Class Jessica D. Lynch, United States Army, was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” under Executive Order 11046. The Combat “V” was not for taking a bridge or an airfield, but because somebody made a wrong turn. She also received a Purple Heart, the Prisoner of War medal, and an honorable discharge from the Army.

Jessica split the $1 million advance from publisher Albert A. Knopf for the book I Am a Soldier, Too with Bragg. On its first day of sale, not one copy had been soldby midday at a Barnes & Noble store on Chicago’s North Side. People lined up around the block for Hillary Clinton’s memoir. Jessica’s book was outsold by The South Beach Diet.

Support troops are now given more training with their weapons, including live fire combat training, and navigation. A “virtual staff ride” has been devised, a computer simulation of what happened to the 507th.

Pat Tillman

Jessica testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The chairman, Henry Waxman, accused the government of manufacturing “sensational details and stories” about the rescue of Jessica and the death of Pat Tillman.

Jessica said that the stories told about her were untrue, but if they had inspired troops or rallied the nation, perhaps some benefit had come from them. She said she was confused why untruths had been told, as there was no shortage of true heroes, such as Lori Piestewa and the soldiers who rescued her. PFC Piestewa was Jessica’s best friend, and the pair shared rooms and tents. She was the driver of the Humvee in which Jessica was travelling at the time of the attack in Nassiriya, and the first female soldier to die in Iraq. Jessica told the Committee that Patrick Miller really did fight to the end. Later, she said that her testimony was “the scariest thing” she ever did.

When she awoke in hospital, Jessica feared she would be paralyzed for life. For a while, she was unable to control her bowels. Her medical problems were long-standing. She continued to experience pain and found it difficult to stand for a prolonged period. For a while, amputation of one of her toes was considered. She had problems with her bowels, bladder, and kidneys (“We usually just say kidney, because it’s less embarrassing.) She continues to fear being alone and has nightmares where she dreams of being chased through woods. When she gets depressed, she distracts herself by baking: “Anything chocolate and sweet. I love to mess around with stuff like that.” She receives occasional hate mail, which she shreds.

Doctors were concerned that she would never be a mother, but she produced 7 pound, 10 ounce Dakota Ann in 2007 in collusion with boyfriend Wes Robinson (who had replaced Sergeant Ruben Contreras) and after a C-section. The bastard is named in part after Lori Ann Piestewa. Dakota’s first outfit was a lace-trimmed hunting camouflage onesie and the walls of her nursery were camouflage green and bold pink. Jessica said, “I am Prisoner of War Jessica Lynch. I will always be that. But being a mommy will be amazing.”

Jessica has become a speaker for the Fisher House program, which supplies free housing to families with a member receiving treatment at a Department of Veteran Affairs hospital. She sometimes speaks to groups as large as 50,000. She launched a fund-raising effort called Jessie’s Pals which donates stuffed animals to hospital patients. She also assists the Jessica Lynch Foundation, which provides help to children of veterans.

Patrick Miller received a Silver Star and continues to suffer from his injuries. Nerves were damaged in his arm when his arms were tied behind his back and an Iraqi soldier inadvertently stepped on his elbow as he lay on the floor of a truck. With Jessica Lynch oil paintings (opening bid: $200), fridge magnets, country songs, T-shirts, books, and a movie, he was asked if he was bothered by Jessica’s fame and replied: “Mmm, somewhat.”

An unnamed, senior U.S. officer was quoted by Time magazine as saying, “I think it was the Army looking for a hero.”

Is Jay-Z Involved with the Illuminati?

Jay-Z's clothing line shirt with the All-Seeing Eye in Triangle.

Jay-Z has long been considered part of the Illuminati due to his clothing line including Illuminati symbols and his music videos referencing secret societies.

His shirts feature the All-Seeing Eye in Triangle and other occult images of eyes.

Even Jay-Z’s company name, Rocawear, is a reference to the powerful and elite Rockefeller family.

Jay-Z and Russell Simmons Working Together?

Russell Simmons, the 3rd richest person in hip-hop who also owns a clothing line and is friend of Jay-Z, tweeted a quasi-promotion for the OWS protest shirts saying, “glad I got mine today”.

“Glad I got mine today.”  Who says that in real life?  Can you remember any friends and family members talking about something they purchased and informing you, “Glad I got mine today”?  The statement clearly seems like a marketing tactic meant to influence people to buy the shirts.

The King of Pop. Photo: Luis Fernando / Sonia Maria

Michael Jackson is once again in the news now that his doctor, Conrad Murray, has received a guilty verdict in Los Angeles over the King of Pop’s manslaughter. Murray gave Jacko a fatal dose of the sedative, propofol. Already, we have a conspiracy theory: Murray is a freemason!

But the conspiracy theories began long before that. The funkiest is that Wacko Jacko was a castrato: his testicles were either removed at the behest of his wholehearted shit of a father, Joe, or he missed out on puberty for endocrinological reasons.

Michael said that his father made him rehearse endlessly: it is not difficult to imagine him having Jacko’s balls chopped off in the name of fame. Joe also called him names, would trip him to make him hit a wall, and beat him. Joe denied beating his son, saying that he only whipped him. Joe is also on record as saying that he “can’t stand” gay people. Joe was excluded from the version of Michael’s will that was released in 2002, but Jacko acknowledges that his upbringing was a major determinant of his fame.

Or it could have been his hormones. Jacko suffered from vitiligo, which is closely associated with disorders of the thyroid. The thyroid, with the pituitary, controls all the other endocrine glands in the human body – the things which produce hormones. While hormonal abnormalities can also produce “natural castrati,” Joe was such a bastard, the clever money must be on him.

Is it possible that, like this chap, Jacko's balls were cut off?

Evidence begins in the form of Jacko’s resemblance to the most-famed castrato, Carlo Broschi (1705-1782), who went by the name of Farinelli. It is said that Michael’s frequent plastic surgery aimed to make him look like the untesticled superstar of old, as can be seen from a bust of the latter. Look at the nose and eyes, they say.

Jacko’s life bore some similarity to that of Farinelli, who was known in Italy as “the boy.” Farinelli and Jacko endured similar amounts of singing practice as children. Castrati could not marry, and so had no emotional outlet other than their music, like Jacko. Castrati, like Jacko, were maligned for their effeminacy. Like Jacko, Farinelli’s music made him filthy rich. Castrato-hood could also explain Jacko’s sincere protestations that there was no possibility of sexual contact betwixt himself and the children with whom he slept.

Then there is Jacko’s sublime, child-like voice. It changed little between ABC-123 and Thriller. This can be compared to the 17 recordings of Allessandro Moreschi, the last castrato, who died in 1922. Jacko’s voice was not falsetto – he spoke that way in interviews. The German flautist and composer Johann Joachim Quantz, who acted as a music critic, said that Farinelli’s “intonation was pure, his trill beautiful, his breath control extraordinary and his throat very agile.” Does this not sound like Jacko? As Red Buttons put it, “Only in America can a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white woman.”

For someone with no testicles, Jacko is supposed to have sired many children.

Mocienne Petit Jackson, a Dutch citizen, filed suit at the Los Angeles Superior Court alleging that Jacko impregnated her mother, Barbara Ross Lee, the sister of Jacko confidante Diana Ross. Jacko would have been 16 at the time. This lady claims that Jacko’s ma, Katherine, conspired to have her sent to Belgium to conceal her from the press.

Omar Bhatti, who is said to be Jacko's son. Photo: O-Bee Fan Site

The National Enquirer claimed that Jacko was the father of Omer Bhatti, a hip hop performer who resides in Oslo and is now 26, who was, it said, generated after a single night of passion with a besotted fan. Bhatti met the singer in Tunisia in 1996 and impressed him with his dance moves. Bhatti, the Enquirer says, now wishes to take a DNA test to settle the matter, and is motivated by a desire to determine his paternity rather than for the millions of dollars he would likely receive.

Bhatti appeared just like Jackson’s son, Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, aka Blanket, when he, like Blanket, was seven years old. Bhatti lived for years at Neverland, where Jacko employed his parents as chauffeur and nanny. He was photographed sitting next to the remaining Jacksons at Jacko’s memorial service and was often photographed with Jacko.

Fox News reported in 2004 that Jacko had told close friends that he was Bhatti’s father, but they did not know whether to believe him. Joe Jackson said on television that he believes Bhatti is the spawn of Jacko. Jermaine Jackson said he was unsure Bhatti was Jacko’s son, but if he were, he would be treated like Jacko’s other children. He said, “If Omer’s his son, he’s his son.” Radaronline.com later reported that Bhatti claimed to be the true father of Jacko’s children. Star magazine reported that Bhatti’s mother, Pia, was the biological mother of Blanket. If she had already produced one son for him, she could have been asked for a repeat performance.

In 2004, Jacko’s publicist, Raymone Bain, denied a US Weekly report that Jacko had fathered quadruplets. The magazine cited unnamed sources.

One conspiracy theory goes that Sony did not promote Jacko’s album, Invincible, so he would be forced to sell his share of the Beatles catalog to it. This album was the most expensive ever, costing $30 million.

Jacko has now bought the farm. Some people say he was already deceased. The Michael Jackson who appeared in London to promote his forthcoming tour walked differently. It is said that this character was too tall and his fingers too stumpy.

Others say he died well before that, an idea which possibly stemmed from a humorous article in the Onion. The theory goes that Jacko shuffled off this mortal coil in the 1990s while undergoing cosmetic surgery, whereupon he was replaced by an impersonator.

The readers of the Weekly World News must surely be right.

It has been claimed that Jacko staged his death to free himself from the pressures of fame, or possibly because an attempt was afoot to force him into bankruptcy. Bankruptcy would have obliged him to settle his $300 million of debt. Sales of his work have exploded, so dying made good business sense. A small poll of readers of the Weekly World News (“The world’s only reliable news”) found that 42 percent believe Jacko faked his death, and these are people you listen to. Blogger Derek Clontz said Michael is replicating the actions of another man he admired greatly, Elvis Presley, who also faked his death and is alive and in hiding to this very day. The Weekly World News predicted that Jacko would emulate Elvis in this respect in 1994.

The last paparazzi photograph of Jacko is said to not depict him, as the photographed entity’s skin is too dark. Video shows him apparently moving when his body was transported by helicopter from a hospital to the coroner’s office, which skeptics say was an optical illusion caused by the turn of the helicopter. A 30 second-long video recording exists of a coroner’s van which pulls into a garage and is then exited by a person said to be Jacko. The view is from the rear, and the figure has a similar body mass to Jacko, similarly long hair, and similar agility. The license plate had the same number as the real coroner’s van. The hub caps are said to be different, and the font in which “Coroner” is written. The latter could be explained by a different camera angle.

Cassandra Gretchen-Sims claims to have been a Jacko confidante, and that she knows he faked his death to find peace. She says he watched his funeral on CCTV and left 33 clues in the video to This Is It. Bloggers have said that he perpetrated the hoax to expose the Illuminati. Somehow.

Jacko has been sighted crossing the border to Mexico, in Spain, Dubai, and the United Arab Emirates, at the BET Awards, on Larry King Live, and at his own memorial service. Photographs exist. The Los Angele Coroner’s office was pretty sure it was Jacko, but the websites www.michaeljacksonsightings.com, and www.michaeljacksonhoaxdeath.com, can be checked for further details to the contrary.

Debbie Rowe with Jacko when they were married. Photo: carolinagal

As for the children of whom Jacko is legally the father, his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, mother to two of ‘em, told all to the British tabloid, the News of the World, which was wound-up in disgrace after its journalists were found to have accessed the voicemail of many people relevant to the news. Now Jacko is no more, she is free of legal obligations.

She says she was impregnated artificially using anonymously donated jizz. She compared herself to a thoroughbred horse: “It’s just like I impregnate my mares for breeding.” She said, “I was just the vessel. It wasn’t Michael’s sperm.” She also said, “I offered him my womb… it was a gift. It was something I did to keep him happy.” She added that she and Jacko never shared coitus in the course of their three-year marriage.

Rowe said that Jacko’s third child, Blanket, was conceived in the same manner by an unnamed surrogate. Jacko wished no further contact with Rowe after she excreted her second child, Paris. The experience left her unable to bear further kiddies, for which the $8.4 million she reportedly received may provide some comfort.

Jackson’s manager is on record as saying “”I’m sure those kids are Michael’s. Michael’s told me they’re his. Debbie Rowe has told me they’re his.” Jacko’s brother, Tito, said the same, and that all one need do to be certain is to look at the children’s eyes. Tito says Jacko’s children remind him of himself and his brothers when they were children. This shows how much store can be put in any denials by the Jackson camp.

Various men, however, claim it was their baby batter from which Jacko’s offspring sprung.

This is Mark Lester, and hopefully the right Mark Lester. Photo: cvrcak1

Mark Lester, the star of the 1967 hit film, Oliver!, told the News of the Screws that he believed Paris to be his daughter, as he donated sperm, which he says was then inserted to Rowe. He said he was willing to submit himself to a paternity test. He claims that Paris looks uncannily like his own daughters, particularly the one who was 15 years-old at the time. He draws attention to Paris’ “blue eyes, pale complexion, and high cheekbones.” Jacko’s pal, Uri Geller, said that Jacko confirmed the allegation to him. Lester was definitely a friend of Jacko’s, and is the godfather to all three sprogs. One friend of Jacko’s said the timing of Lester’s donation of man-naise is wrong, but this confirms that Lester certainly donated population paste. Brian Oxman, Jacko’s former lawyer and a friend of his family, said that in all the years he had known Lester, he had never suggested he was Paris’ father.

Lester said that he came forward as he wished to remain in contact with the children. He is concerned that Blanket will be raised as a Jehovah’s Witness. Katherine Jackson is a Witness, but Lester said that Jacko wanted his children raised as Catholics. It has been claimed that Rowe has similar concerns.

It has been widely alleged that Arnold Klein, Jacko’s Beverly Hills dermatologist, was the father to all three. Such a thing was first suggested by US Weekly in 2009. One Jackson insider confirmed the story. Questioned by Diane Sawyer on ABC News, Klein replied, “All I can tell you is, to the best of my knowledge, I’m not the father of these children.”

“To the best of my knowledge”? Is this guy in any doubt as to where his man milk ended up?

Al Malnik, a Floridan restaurant owner connected to the Mob, claimed to be the father of Blanket. It has been speculated by the British press that Malnik may be the father to all of Jacko’s children.

The wholly downmarket British newspaper, the Sun, reported that Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin could be the biological dad of Blanket. They were famously close in the early 1990s. A source – doncha love sources? – said that even Culkin suspects he is the father, from donated love butter.

If one accepts that Jacko is no more, there are a variety of ways in which he could have met his end. It has been suggested that those devilish Iranians did it. Jacko died at a time when criticism of the Iranian regime’s post-election crackdown was prevalent, causing even the previously hesitant President Obama to profess himself “appalled and outraged.” Jacko’s demise saw “Michael Jackson RIP” replace “#iranelection” as the top trending topic on Twitter.

Actress Farrah Fawcett and television personality Ed McMahon died around the same time. There were suggestions that the three were connected, although how is less clear.

LaToya Jackson believes her brother was MOIDERED. Photo: greginhollywood

Jacko’s ma, Katherine, said she had “not seen one shred of evidence that anyone associated with Michael’s estate conspired to kill him.” Joe Jackson disagreed on Larry King Live, where he said he believed Jacko was killed because he would be unable to complete the planned 50 concerts in London. Katherine’s daughter, Latoya, also disagrees, and believes he was offed by people around him who believed Jacko was worth more dead than alive. She has initiated an accompanying lawsuit, and detailed her theory in her new memoir, Starting Over.

Latoya said Jacko told her: “I’m going to be murdered for my music publishing catalog and my estate.” Joe Jackson said the same. Latoya said that upon his death, the same people of whom he was suspicious were given control of his estate. In particular, she names Dr. Tohme Tohme, Jacko’s business adviser. Layota said that Tohme fired key people who had been close to Jacko for years to isolate him and make him more amenable to Tohme’s proposals.

It has been alleged that Jacko was killed on behalf of Congress. A much-opposed law restricting greenhouse emissions was passed by a vote late on Friday when everybody was devouring coverage of Jacko’s death. Another theory is that Jacko was topped because of his opposition to the government’s plan for a mandatory, experimental H1N1 vaccine. The author of the online article, Michael Jackson’s Death – The Conspiracy Theory – Updated complained that the word “updated” was truncated to prevent the 7,500 people who viewed the original from seeing additions to it.

“FSB sources” were said to have told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that Jackson was terminated by the Agency because Jacko had agreed with the King of Bahrain’s son, Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad al-Khalifa, to use his sold-out concerts in the United Kingdom to publicize an upcoming episode of genocide. This was in return for the write-off of millions of dollars of debt. Both Jacko and al-Khalifa have long been supporters of the Austrian investigative journo, Jane Burgermeister, who has warned of a ‘flu pandemic which would be artificially created, to be followed by a ‘flu vaccine which would be compulsory.

Is it possible that Jacko was actually a nice guy? Photo: cvrcak1

But do you want to hear a Michael Jackson conspiracy theory that’s COMPLETELY INSANE? Do you want to hear one that is UTTERLY UNBELIEVABLE? The looniest Michael Jackson conspiracy theory of all has been saved for last: some people say Wacko Jacko was actually a nice guy.

The theory has perhaps been expounded most effectively by Aphrodite Jones, whose book, Michael Jackson Conspiracy, alleges that he was smeared by the media because to do so garnered more attention: bad news sells. Jacko’s 2005 trial came about because Santa Barbara D.A., Tom Sneddon, was a publicity whore who “wanted the whole world to be watching him.” Jacko’s attorney, Thomas A. Mesereu, Jr., lent weight to the idea by writing the foreword to the book.

Conspiracy theories are such a load of bullshit

And Murdoch’s company not only targeted celebrities;  family members, like parents of actor Daniel Radcliffe, were spied on as well.

There is growing concern that companies are passing a line when it comes to the collecting of personal information.  Business leaders and the public are paying close attention to the consequences News of the World will receive.  What the newspaper did was not illegal, and if punishment for the actions are weak, it’s likely more companies will add ‘spying’ to their list of business practices.

Welsh tweeted, “dreamt I died in chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep). need to write my will today.”

Fans are heartbroken.  They feel that foul play was to blame for the passing of such a great artist, aged only 40 years old.  For his enemies, they could have seen the tweet as a perfect opportunity to murder the bassist and arrange the scene to look like a suicide.

Still others think the death was a self-fulfilling prophecy;  influenced by the dream, he binged and pushed his tolerance beyond the limit.  What needs to be kept in mind with line of thinking is that the band Weezer is not really defined as one that is heavily involved with drugs.  One fan attests that, “Weezer is not your typical druggy rocker band. I’m sure they’ve smoked weed (hash pipe) but they aren’t Motley Crue. They’re fairly mainstream and well educated.”

Maybe the dream was a message from the future.  Could it be possible for someone to dream their own death?  In this case, it seems like that is exactly what happened.

The decision to change its standard upgrade cycle perplexed both critics and Apple enthusiasts alike.  People that have been holding out on buying a phone to wait for the new iPhone 5 are angry for waiting for nothing.  The release date debacle clearly shows Apple’s calm surface hides rough waters brewing underneath.  Because it is unlikely that a company would intentionally set out to upset its consumer base, we can surmise that whatever caused the phone’s release date to be pushed back was not what Apple had in the books.

Apple chose to hold onto the information about the iPhone 5 delay for as long as it could, only announcing news of the change right before the company was to prepare for its release.  What was going on behind the scenes during this time, and who was in charge of making the decisions?

It is possible that Steve Jobs was under a tremendous amount of stress to get the iPhone 5 released on schedule.  This stress could have been the tipping point that led to his death, weakening his body enough for the cancer to move in.

There is no dispute that leaders work tirelessly to keep schedules, and Steve was as big a leader as they come.

3. Diana: Did the Queen Kill the Mother of the Anti Christ Because of Her Unborn Muslim Baby?

The sad fate of Princess Diana holds many theories.

Hers is an everyday tale of a direct descendant of Jesus who was pushed into a loveless marriage with a dim witted Prince, gave birth to the Anti Christ, tried to kill herself, lost her husband to a woman who is uglier than a big bag of rotten turnips, went to war with the Royal family, became pregnant with a Muslim baby by the son of the owner of Harrods, and was spectacularly bumped off by the Queen in a Paris traffic accident. Phew, and I thought my life was complicated!

You have all heard of Princess Diana’s death, and it can be put in a simple formula: Princess Di + Muslim lover + (French chauffeur + drink + drugs) + high speed + mysterious white car + reckless paparazzi = a dead ex-Princess.

Ulterior motives surround the tragedy.  Did the head of the British monarchy intend to have her killed because she was soon to deliver a Muslim son or daughter who would be half-brother or sister to the future King (and Anti Christ)? No evidence backs the claim of her pregnancy, although this doesn’t mean that it wasn’t the case.

Was Diana killed by the Queen? Ghosh30@flickr

Another plausible motivation for murder could have been the fear of Diana’s huge popularity. Her “Queen of Hearts” title showed her as a person loved by all, and her heart-warming TV interviews, charity work, and “common touch” with the people set her up as a genuine threat to the UK Royal family, whom she had gone head to head with in the years leading up to the controversial accident.

Put it this way, if there had been a popular vote just before her death, what would the loyal British subjects have gone for; the old Queen and dippy Prince Charles, or the “Queen of Hearts” and her dashing son? (did I mention that he is the anti-….well, you know).  It doesn’t take a genius to see that Diana was on the verge of causing serious damage to the Saxe – Coburg and Gotha dynasty. Do you think this could have been enough reason to carry out the astonishingly high risk tactic of killing her on the French streets?
