'There's been a military coup,'

The going got weird
http://www.RigorousIntuition.blogspot.com

I'm reminded, constantly, of the two-year old remark by the anonymous
State Department official: "I just wake up in the morning and tell
myself, 'There's been a military coup,' and then it all makes sense."

If only it were that simple, and modestly malevolent. That used to
make sense of this world for me, too. Now, it doesn't make enough
sense. Now, I'm waking with the crazy notion, "There's been a coup by
esoteric Nazis, and it didn't happen yesterday." Or perhaps I'm not
truly awake yet. Could be. Hope so. Because my inner life has taken
on the complexion of a lucid nightmare.

In other words, what's a poor blogger to do, when Hellboy begins to
appear more "reality-based" than Wolf Blitzer Reports?

So please tell me, and I'll repeat after you: It's only a
movie...it's only a movie...it's only a movie....

The Gannon/Guckert/Gosch puzzle pieces keep refusing to be put back
in the box. For what it's worth, Sherman Skolnick - no stranger to
hyperbolic and unverifiable pronouncements - weighs in with this:

A group of elite investigators, for many years now documenting the
operation of the male prostitution ring [in] Omaha, Chicago, and
District of Colombia, have told a very small, trusted group of old-
assistants, some of the following:

That the person using the name "Jeff Gannon" is most likely Johnny
Gosch. And that the name is a tip-off in that it is the name of an
editor [actually, "James Gannon"] of a major newspaper in Iowa that
originally severely condemned Noreen Gosch for making an issue of the
kidnapping of her twelve-year old son in 1982 who delivered
newspapers for that paper.

That Gannon alias Gosch was selected at an early age because of his
cleverness and adaptability to espionage work, as the intelligence
agencies are inclined to do. And that Gannon alias Gosch is part of a
spy agency team so secretive its name or title is not known by those
otherwise knowledgeable about secret teams.

And from childsearch.org, here is another age-enhanced picture of
Gosch, as he may appear at 30, next to a photo of Guckert/Gannon:

Then there's the business of Hunter S Thompson, whose name appears in
this one passage of The Franklin Cover-Up , at the end of a
particularly bloody account by victim Paul Bonacci. (The "Larry King"
here, of course, is not that Larry King.)

In other testimony, Bonacci said that Larry King was smiling and
laughing the whole time the film was being shown, and that "the men
with the hoods" were a Satanic group which planned to use the dead
boy in some sort of ceremony. He also named the director of the snuff
film, whom they had picked up in Las Vegas, as "Hunter Thompson."

The whole Franklin scandal beggars belief, and when I read those
words, nearly two years ago, I just about gave up on it. I already
didn't want any of it to be true, because if it were, then I needed
to reappraise every assumption about how the world worked, and of its
rulers. And reluctantly, I came to the conclusion that enough at
least must be true, for me to do just that.

Because even if we don't like it, we have to admit stubborn facts of
the Franklin story. Lawyer and former State Senator John DeCamp,
author of The Franklin Cover-Up, did that himself, after having
initially discounted survivor testimony of rites performed before a
giant stone owl in a California retreat. He'd never heard of Bohemian
Grove.

And a stubborn fact such as how, in 1999, King quietly abandoned his
legal defence against Bonacci, who was awarded compensation valued at
a million dollars for damages suffered in King's service. From the
judgement of the District Court:

Between December 1980 and 1988, the complaint alleges, the defendant
King continually subjected the plaintiff to repeated sexual assaults,
false imprisonments, infliction of extreme emotional distress,
organized and directed satanic rituals, forced the plaintiff
to "scavenge" for children to be a part of the defendant King's
sexual abuse and pornography ring, forced the plaintiff to engage in
numerous masochistic orgies with other minor children. The defendant
King's default has made those allegations true against him. The issue
now is the relief to be granted monetarily.

The now uncontradicted evidence is that the plaintiff has suffered
much. He has suffered burns, broken fingers, beating of the head and
face and other indignities by the wrongful actions of the defendant
King. In addition to the misery of going through the experiences just
related over a period of eight years, the plaintiff has suffered the
lingering results to the present time. He is a victim of multiple
personality disorder, involving as many as fourteen distinct
personalities aside from his primary personality. He has given up a
desired military career and received threats on his life. He suffers
from sleeplessness, has bad dreams, has difficulty in holding a job,
is fearful that others are following him, fears getting killed, has
depressing flashbacks, and is verbally violent on occasion, all in
connection with the multiple personality disorder and caused by the
wrongful activities of the defendant King.

With respect to the Thompson allegation, even should Bonacci have
been telling the truth as he recalled it, the truth may be only that
someone was called "Hunter Thompson." I can imagine that in such
company, when perpetrating such crimes, pseudonyms, perhaps tinged
with black humour, would be fairly common.

Still, there is the business of Thompson's apparent suicide - in the
middle of a prosaic phone conversation with his wife of two years, no
less - and at the height of the Gannon flap, as some speculation
turned to Gosch.

Whatever the truth regarding Thompson and the Franklin scandal, he
sized up Bush and Cheney in stark, occultic terms, and described
their ascendancy with apocalyptic dread. It was the "big darkness,
soon come - take my word for it." On November 20, 2000, just as the
Bush team was stealing its first election (second, if we count Bush
Sr's "October Surprise" of 1980), this column of Thompson's appeared,
entitled "Prepare for the Weirdness" (and thanks to Jon for
forwarding it):

We have seen Weird Times in this country before, but the year 2000 is
beginning to look super weird. This time, there really is nobody
flying the plane. ... We are living in dangerously weird times now.
Smart people just shrug and admit they're dazed and confused.

The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is
the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the
operative ethic.

The Autumn months are never a calm time in America. Back to Work,
Back to School, Back to Football Practice, etc. ... Autumn is a very
Traditional period, a time of strong Rituals and the celebrating of
strange annual holidays like Halloween and Satanism and the fateful
Harvest Moon, which can have ominous implications for some people.

Autumn is always a time of Fear and Greed and Hoarding for the winter
coming on. Debt collectors are active on old people and fleece the
weak and helpless. They want to lay in enough cash to weather the
known horrors of January and February. There is always a rash of
kidnapping and abductions of school children in the football months.
Pre-teens of both sexes are traditionally seized and grabbed off the
streets by gangs of organized Perverts. [Gosch was abducted Sept 5,
1982]
...
Guaranteed Fear and Loathing. Abandon all hope. Prepare for the
Weirdness. Get familiar with Cannibalism.

What, if anything at all, should we make of Thompson alluding to the
organized abduction of children, as he describes the dawning of
the "dangerously weird" Bush/Cheney era?

Then, like some weird icing on his memorial cake, last Saturday's
Globe and Mail mentioned that at his death, Thompson was working on a
story concerning demolition charges in the World Trade Center. Paul
William Roberts goes a little gonzo himself in the first paragraph,
but in the second, admits which of his words are founded in fact:

Hunter telephoned me on Feb. 19, the night before his death. He
sounded scared. It wasn't always easy to understand what he said,
particularly over the phone, he mumbled, yet when there was something
he really wanted you to understand, you did. He'd been working on a
story about the World Trade Center attacks and had stumbled across
what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought
down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive
charges set off in their foundations. Now he thought someone was out
to stop him publishing it: "They're gonna make it look like suicide,"
he said. "I know how these bastards think..."

That's how I imagine a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson should begin. He
was indeed working on such a story, but it wasn't what killed him. He
exercised his own option to do that. As he said to more than one
person, "I would feel real trapped in this life if I didn't know I
could commit suicide at any time."

Hopefully - hopefully - Hellboy may prove, in the end, to be just a
movie. But saying Hunter S Thompson was just a journalist is like
calling Leonard Cohen only a poet.

Some folks, somehow - they just know.

And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
It is murder.

Jeff Gannon, Johnny Gosch, Hunter Thompson, and Bohemian Grove snuff
porn
I've been watching this story percolate since the weekend, and with
Thursday's return of "Jeff Gannon" to the blogosphere with a column
entitled "Fear and Loathing in the Press Room" really bringing it all
full circle, several questions are begged here.

As the Jeff Gannon story progressed and turned into a Bush White
House homosexual prostitution scandal, Internet investigators started
asking if there could be a connection to the previous Bush White
House homosexual prostitution scandal.

If you recall, the stories of 15-year-old callboys wandering through
the White House in the middle of the night was linked to
the "Franklin Cover-Up" case exposed by Nebraska State Sen. John
DeCamp. In that case, a Republican operative named Larry King was
involved with procuring boys and girls from Boys Town in Nebraska and
elsewhere and entrapping them in a child sex-slave and espionage
ring. King, with an annual salary of under 20K, was throwing sex
parties for the powerful in a $5,000-a-month condo in Washingotn, DC;
apparently taping the proceedings for blackmail purposes.

One of the victims of this ring was one Paul Bonacci, who testified
in court proceedings that he helped kidnap Johnny Gosch into this
ring in 1982. It was apparently at 2:29 AM, Sunday, Feb. 20 that the
question was first asked -- is "Jeff Gannon" really Johnny Gosch?

By the end of the day, Hunter S. Thompson was reported dead.

This is where it gets really interesting. Bonacci also testified that
he was forced in July 1984 to participate in a
homosexual/pedophilic/necrophilic orgy at (what has since been
identified as) the Bohemian Grove; all of which was filmed. And
according to Bonacci, the man in charge of the filming was someone
picked up in Las Vegas on the plane headed to the Grove, a man who
Bonacci was told was one "Hunter Thompson."

No doubt most people who came across this information in the past and
were familiar with Thompson's work dismissed the idea that the man
behind the camera could have been the famous writer. After all, this
was a man who has been fighting the like of Nixon and Bush his entire
career.

But could Thompson have been brought to the Grove by someone who
presented it as an opportunity to investigate what the power elite
was up to behind closed doors? Could Thompson have quickly found
himself in over his head, compromised, by virtue of his very presence
at this horrific crime, by the men he thought he was investigating
undercover? (Or perhaps compromised some other way -- perhaps for
instance, he was surreptiously filmed with an adult female prostitute
who was then murdered. But I digress.)

But back for now to the "Who is Jeff Gannon?" question. James D.
Guckert seems to have appeared out of nowhere around 1999, setting up
male escort websites. In profiles on these sites from around
2001, "Jeff" said he was 31 years old, closer to Johnny Gosch's age
than James Guckert's. (Guckert/Gannon claims to be 47 today.)

"Jeff Gannon" aka "James Guckert" also was attending alumni events at
the TKE fraternity of West Chester college in Pennsylvania. Local
media called the college and confirmed that a "James Guckert"
graduated from West Chester in 1980; but apparently no one has
checked yearbooks and such to confirm if the same man seems to be
depicted.

Could "James Guckert" be just another false identity? Another
Democratic Underground investigator found 1986 and 1987 pictures of
a "Jeff Guckert" from Fairview High School, in that same
Pennsylvania/Delaware border area that "James D. Guckert" (aka "Jeff
Gannon") claimed residence on his escort & porn websites and was
cited for $20,000 in back taxes. "Jeff Guckert" would have been about
the same age as Johnny Gosch when he was playing high school golf.

Did Gosch go on to assume the identity of "James Guckert," a man ten
years older than himself, some time in the 1990s?

Consider this, from his mother Noreen's Johnny Gosch Foundation
website in 2001:

Johnny was subjected to severe trauma and torture of a satanic and
sexual nature, in order to intentionally destroy the conscious
personality.... brainwashing. This intentional application of trauma
is a systematic procedure used to control these victims, in order to
use them in sexual slavery, pornography and more.

In February 1999, in Federal Court testimony in Omaha Nebraska,
Noreen Gosch [pictured] testified that Johnny Gosch came to see her
in 1997, providing information about his experience, asking for his
mother's help and pleading for her to not reveal his visit.

Johnny is now 31 years old. After years of suffering tremendous
torture and pain at the hands of his captors, being used and abused,
he and several others escaped. They have been living in hiding under
new identities... they fear for their lives.

People ask ... why is it necessary for someone to hide and live this
way..... It is simple, Johnny can identify many of the people
involved and would be a threat to the very people who took him. He is
known as the "chameleon". Why? Because he can so completely change
his appearance.

Chameleon? Again, on DU, someone points to a purple blemish on Jeff's
chest in one of his circa 2002 "escort" photos, asking if that is the
mark left by birthmark removal. According tohis mother Johnny "the
Chameleon" Gosch still had the birthmark in 1997.

In one of his first interviews, on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, "Jeff
Gannon" said "James Guckert" "[i]s the name on my driver's license."
His handlers have apparently warned him on that point and he now
claims it is his "given name."

So, what's the deal here?

Is Jeff Gannon really Johnny Gosch? Noreen Gosch refuses to confirm
or deny.

If Gannon is Gosch, what is going on with him? Is his strange
behavior a result of years of brainwashing? Or is it something more?
Is it possible he drew attention to himself during that January 26
press conference to pique the curiousity of citizen investigators? To
draw attention to the dark side of the past 24 years of the Bush
regime? He invited this investigation after the press conference (and
before the "escort" revelations) by publishing a column
titled "Hiding in Plain Sight." This was within days of Franklin
cover-up figure George Paul's Bishop sudden arrest.

And, did that investigation have anything to do with the death of
Hunter Thompson? Sherman S
