FLOCCO STORY BECOMING BIGGEST SINCE 911

Back in the 60s the people of the U.S. stopped an illegal (terrorist) war, helped greatly by the power of television. The war mongers were so naive about TV that they allowed the daily showing of the terror of it all and the body bags and the blood.

The war powers that be learned their lesson and now we see practically nothing of the horror of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's why I made my Agnus Dei video , to show a bit of that which is being censored.

But the "war powers that be" are a bit dim in the head, like all big bullies, and while they keep the war off all the news outlets they control, they never took into account the tremendous power of this newer medium, the Internet, which so far, they don't control. And now it looks as if the Internet might just make possible the ending of the the most criminal administration in American history. If that happens then Patrick Fitzgerald is going to become one of the greatest heroes in American history.

Now there is speculation about a possible "Saturday Night Massacre," which if you recall was when Richard Nixon attempted to fire the special prosecutor investigating the Watergate affair. But I don't think it will work, just as it didn't work then.

We lack one thing we had in the 60s, real investigative journalism by the major news companies. It was the Washington Post that brought Nixon down by sending out Woodward and Bernstein. BUT we have something now we couldn't even imagine back then: the investigative jounalism on the Internet, carried out by many many thousands of individuals and shared in a flash with the rest of the world. So it balances out, I hope. The current flap over these leaks about the indictments of the President and his gang of thieves is a good case in point. At last the people, ALL THE PEOPLE, have a truly powerful tool in their hands to compensate for the elite control of all other mass media.

Developments over the past few days since Flocco released his story have begun to convince me that his story is essentially true. A true patriot is investigating the whole spectrum of crimes of the Bush administration and is not likely to back down. Brings to mind that phrase we learned in school by Patrick Henry "Give me liberty or give me death!" Maybe Fitzgerald is of the same caliber and even threat of Bush & Co. revenge will not stop him. Let's hope so. We need a total clean sweep of ALL the corruption, including corrupt Congress and the utterly corrupt 911 Commission. We basically need to start over. Get rid of them all and start over. Take power back from the corporations which have overthrown the government and redeclare the Declaration.

Maybe we need some ammendments to the Constitution too do deal with the unholy power of money and corporations, to ensure that this can't happen again.

But first we need to carry through on this indictment process and put the current administration in jail. It would be a good time now to absolutely flood the offices of Patrick Fitzgerald and give him words of support. Let him know how many people are behind his investigation of adminstration and congressional crimes.

The USAO has a branch office in Rockford staffed by seven attorneys.

During the last three years, Mr. Fitzgerald has provided leadership and played a personal role in many significant investigations involving terrorism financing, public corruption, corporate fraud, and violent crime, including narcotics and gang prosecutions.

In Chicago, Mr. Fitzgerald has supervised the continuing public corruption investigation known as Operation Safe Road, which began in 1998, and which resulted in the convictions of more than 65 defendants, including more than 30 public employees and officials. In 2004, he has overseen the beginning of an investigation of the City of Chicago's Hired Truck Program. Mr. Fitzgerald has also committed himself personally to the implementation of Project Safe Neighborhoods as part of a concerted effort with the Chicago Police Department and other state and federal law enforcement agencies to reduce gun violence.

Mr. Fitzgerald also served as trial counsel in United States v. Arnaout, in which the executive director of Benevolence International Foundation, Inc., a charitable organization based in south suburban Chicago, was sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to racketeering conspiracy for fraudulently obtaining charitable donations to provide financial assistance to persons engaged in violent activities overseas, including to fighters in Chechnya and Bosnia, instead of using donations strictly for peaceful, humanitarian purposes.

Previously, Mr. Fitzgerald served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York for 13 years. He served as Chief of the Organized Crime-Terrorism Unit since December 1995, in addition to holding other supervisory positions during his tenure in that office.

In New York, Mr. Fitzgerald participated in the prosecution of United States v. Usama Bin Laden, et al., in which 23 defendants were charged with various offenses, including conspiracy to murder United States nationals overseas and the August 1998 bombings of the United States embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Four defendants went on trial in January 2001 in New York, and a jury returned guilty verdicts against all four on May 29, 2001. All four were sentenced to life in prison on Oct. 18, 2001.

Mr. Fitzgerald also participated in the trial of United States v. Omar Abdel Rahman, et al., a nine-month trial in 1995 of 12 defendants who participated in a seditious conspiracy that involved the February 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and a spring 1993 plot to bomb the United Nations, the FBI building in New York, and the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, as well as a conspiracy to assassinate President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. He also supervised the case of United States v. Ramzi Yousef, et al., the 1996 prosecution of three defendants who participated in a conspiracy in the Philippines in late 1994 and early 1995 to detonate bombs simultaneously on 12 American airliners. In 1993, Mr. Fitzgerald participated in the six-month trial of United States v. John Gambino, et al., the prosecution of a Gambino crime family capo and his crew for narcotics trafficking, murder, racketeering, jury tampering and other charges.

Among Mr. Fitzgerald's awards and honors are the Attorney General's Award for Exceptional Service in 1996, the Stimson Medal from the Association of the Bar of the City of New York in 1997 and the Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service in 2002.

Mr. Fitzgerald, 44, is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y. He joined the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan in 1988 after three years as a litigation associate at the New York law firm, Christy & Viener. He graduated from Amherst College, Phi Beta Kappa, with a bachelor's degree in economics and mathematics in 1982, and from Harvard Law School in 1985.
