veteranstoday--2020-07-19--The Assassination of John F. Kennedy Junior

I ’ ve changed my mind !
It ’ s not just a woman ’ s prerogative , but an intelligence analyst ’ s .
When the facts change I change my opinion .
Since my column last week new information has come to light about John F. Kennedy Jnr ’ s death in a plane crash on July 16th 1999 .
Thursday saw the 21st anniversary of the crash , of course .
It must be recalled that my involvement in serious intelligence work only began with the Pinochet case in 1999 .
I had not looked at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week I was responding to suggestions from Q that he was still alive , which seem to me to be far-fetched .
I was also misled , to some extent , by ‘ John John ’ s ’ poor airmanship , which seemed to me to explain the crash .
With every respect to his memory I maintain that his airmanship in not sticking to the planned departure time and not having a second pilot was poor .
Undertaking a night flight over water , with passengers , in a single-engined airplane , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on type and no instrument rating was hazardous , to say the least .
Spatial disorientation can be a real problem , not least at night .
It ’ s particularly difficult to judge height above water at night or in poor weather .
Misjudgment of height above water is thought to be the reason behind the tragic loss off the Vietnamese coast of LTV RF-8G Crusader 144624 of VFP-62 , flying from the Midway class attack carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt , on September 6th 1966 , with the death of her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Norman Bundy .
( See Martin Bowman , Cold War Jet Combat , 2016 , at p.210 . )
My attention has been drawn to research by my old friend Sherman Skolnick , the brilliant investigative journalist out of Chicago Illinois , who sadly passed in 2006 , allegedly of a heart attack .
Poor old Sherman had been disabled by polio as a boy .
Not everybody was fond of Sherman , especially corrupt judges in Illinois , where the bench was almost as crooked as the federal bench , no offense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liked Sherman however and have always paid serious attention to his work .
I only got to know him after the Kelly Assassination in 2003 – we never worked together on the JFK Jnr Assassination , nor discussed it .
Sherman came across an internal FBI report provisionally concluding sabotage through placement of an IED in the rear luggage compartment of the Saratoga .
As many readers will know there are two luggage compartments on the Saratoga , one forward and one aft .
The aft compartment would be an ideal spot to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ view to blowing off the empennage .
Once that ’ s gone you ’ re finished .
The FBI report suggests that the tail was found some distance from the rest of the wreckage .
The Coastguard also reported that the wreckage was spread over a fairly wide area .
This new evidence ( new to me at any rate ) about the debris field is important .
If spatial disorientation was the cause the plane would have hit the water intact , albeit possibly at a steep angle .
We would not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ particular we would not expect any part of the empennage to be separated from the rest of the wreckage .
Sherman also cited radar evidence suggesting a rate of descent of 6,000 ft a minute .
A rate of descent that fast virtually rules out spatial disorientation , because of noise .
Trust me – if you ’ re in a light aircraft descending at 6,000 fpm you ’ re going to hear it .
There ’ s no way you ’ re not going to know you ’ re going down .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ wings and pull up .
The reported rapid rate of descent is also consistent with the loss of the empennage .
With a single pilot , a huge pilot workload and upset passengers it ’ s unsurprising that there was no Mayday call , but the DVD typically jam radios when bringing down aircraft in any event .
I was also unaware of the extent of JFK Jnr ’ s political ambitions .
As of the date of his murder he had not run for elected office .
Unbeknown to me however he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been in discussion about JFK Jnr going on the ticket .
There was also that upcoming Senate vacancy , on which Hillary Clinton had her eye .
If he was interested in the Vice-Presidency that meant he was interested in the Presidency , in particular in a run in 2008 , for which the DVD had Barack ‘ von ’ Obama slotted in .
Unlike LBJ , JFK Jnr would not have been interested in murdering his way into the White House , so Gore would have been safe .
Once installed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been able to launch a serious investigation into the murder by the Germans of his illustrious father .
I have no reason to believe that he knew about the DVD but he would have found out about them had he been elected President .
There were enough people at Harvard who knew that the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated JFK was a crock .
There ’ s no way that ‘ John John ’ would have bought into that nonsense .
Intriguingly , the title of JFK Jnr ’ s magazine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the late George ‘ von ’ Bush Snr , who played a key role in the events of November 1963 .
It was ‘ Senior ’ , a.k.a .
‘ 41 ’ , who arranged for the exfiltration of the three teams of shooters and then had them whacked .
( If the Germans ever ask you to shoot the President , say no – it ’ s illegal anyway , and they invariably take the shooters out . )
There ’ s still for room for doubt – was the debris field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of descent really as high as 6,000 fpm ?
However , on balance , in the light of the new information I conclude that John F. Kennedy Jnr was assassinated by the DVD in order to present him joining the Democratic ticket in 2000 through the placement of a low explosive yield IED in the rear luggage compartment .
I ’ m hearing that the serious fire aboard the Bonhomme Richard ( LHD-6 ) in San Diego was caused by sabotage .
That would make sense .
I ’ m assuming Correa/COREA Group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese .
I ’ m pretty sure it wasn ’ t a group of BLM protestors carrying matches !
Deliberate sabotage of a warship in peacetime is an Act of War .
The Administration should not pull its punches when the Navy ’ s report comes out .
Once again the fire demonstrated the US Navy ’ s superb damage control .
No one died , thankfully , and the ship was saved , as was the USS Forrestal in July 1967 , after the Correa Group ’ s John McCain tried to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be surprised to learn that ONI had a hand in tampering with his ejection seat .
McCain was shot down over North Vietnam three months later , of course , although sadly he survived to inflict further damage on the US and the Republican Party in particular .
He ought to have been given a fair court-martial and shot , nicely , after the Forrestal fire , in which many good men lost their lives .
Whilst the US was reluctant to use the death penalty to execute traitors during the Vietnam War @ @ @ @ @ @ @ win it ( Secretary of Defense McNamara could usefully have been sent to the electric chair in 1964 for example ) , the Bad Guys were not so hesitant .
Just a few months after the German attempt to sink the Forrestal their Chinese allies captured and assassinated the Australian Prime Minister , Harold Holt .
Holt , a courageous man , was fully committed to supporting the Allied side in the Vietnam War .
Peking and Hanoi wanted him replaced by the useless Senator Gorton , who did not so much wage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Holt ’ s assassination , absurdly , was put down to his being eaten by a shark .
( How many times have you had a conversation along the lines of “ I see another prime minister has been eaten by a shark ” “ Dang , that just keeps happening ” ? )
.
This theory replaced the idea that Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy as the silliest explanation ever for the sudden death of a leader of a democracy .
The assassination of Harold Holt wasn ’ t China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s domestic politics .
Only the previous year they had been behind the shameful attempt to assassinate Leader of the Opposition Arthur Calwell , known for his sensible views about the Chinese .
The Chinese plan was to have Calwell replaced by their man Gough Whitlam , who eventually became Prime Minister in 1972 , promptly helping out the Reds by pulling Oz out of Vietnam .
Whitlam ’ s perfectly proper dismissal by Governor-General Sir John Kerr in 1975 , after an intelligence briefing from ASIO about Whitlam ’ s ties to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in recent weeks .
After a dodgy ruling by the High Court of Australia , if that is not a tautology , private correspondence passing between the Governor-General and Sir Martin Charteris at the Palace has been released into the public domain .
Although the correspondence confirms that the decision to dismiss Whitlam was Sir John ’ s , and that Her Majesty was not involved , this has not stopped an idiot Aussie polly , if that is not another tautology with respect , Matt Thistlethwaite , from calling for a republic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I hadn ’ t heard of him either ) , Her Majesty , Australia ’ s Head of State , is in some way ‘ foreign ’ .
How Australia ’ s Head of State can be foreign is something Mr Thistlethwaite , to whom I shall copy these few modest remarks , does not condescend to explain .
He may have been influenced by another with respect misconceived ruling of the High Court of Australia , Canavan & ors [ 2017 ] HCA 45 , which in effect held that two of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Julia Gillard , who was born in Wales , and Tony Abbott , who was born in London , were ineligible to serve .
That with respect bizarre ruling turned on a misinterpretation of s.44 ( i ) of the Australian Constitution .
British Citizens are no more ‘ foreign ’ in Australia than Australian Citizens are in England – we are all subjects of the same Queen .
There is no way that the Founding Fathers thought that anyone born in Britain could not serve as an MP or Senator .
Indeed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first Prime Minister , was a British Subject by descent .
Bizarre legal decisions are by means confined to Australia .
In a doozy of a decision this week the Court of Appeal managed to persuade themselves that the Bangladeshi terrorist Shamima Begum can return to Britain to argue her appeal against deprivation of British Citizenship .
( [ 2020 EWCA Civ 918 . )
In a with respect rambling judgment the lead judge , Lord Justice Flaux , who incidentally denied me permission to appeal the High Court ’ s decision last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenge my wrongful 2014 convictions , tried to find his way around no fewer than three previous Court of Appeal decisions , which bound the court .
I sat as an immigration judge from 1992 until 2003 and was a specialist immigration lawyer for nearly a decade before that .
Appeals against leave to enter the United Kingdom almost by definition require the appellant to remain outside the country .
The whole point of the appeal of course is to determine whether they have a right of entry .
Tens of thousands of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I presided over several hundred myself .
Appellants can give evidence by video-link , if need be , and can be represented by counsel .
With every respect Flaux LJ does not condescend to explain , in any detail , what relevant evidence Ms Begum could give .
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission ( SIAC ) concluded , correctly , that the Home Secretary ’ s decision to deprive Ms Begum of her British citizenship , on the basis of her admitted affiliation to the ISIL terrorist organisation , did not render @ @ @ @ @ @ @ father was born in Bangladesh in 1958 .
Accordingly , as I have previously reported in this column , she was a Bangladeshi citizen by descent , under s.5 of the renamed Bangladesh Citizenship Act 1951 .
( Bangladesh of course was then known as East Pakistan . )
Since these facts are not disputed how could Ms Begum ’ s evidence assist ?
The nonsensical claim that Bangladesh is some sort of dictatorship and that her human rights would be violated if she were to be sent to her sole country of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ value .
Begum has never been to Bangladesh and has no knowledge of conditions in that country .
The government has appealed the decision and rightly so , although there is no guarantee of a sensible decision from our Supreme Court , which is even sillier than yours , no offense intended .
The Court of Appeal envisaged that Ms Begum would be given a UFF , which is an EU form for travellers without travel documents , but I am far from clear that Ms Begum qualifies for a UFF .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it why the Bangladeshi government should not extend passport facilities to Ms Begum .
She is not stateless and is not a refugee .
She is a captured unlawful combatant .
As a Bangladeshi she is a visa national and will require a visa for entry to the UK for all purposes .
The simplest disposal would be to hand her over to the Kurds for a fair trial , followed by execution by firing squad , in the nicest possible way of course .
( Ms Begum is reported to be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) However that is a matter entirely for the Syrian Democratic Forces in the first instance .
As regular readers will know I try to adopt a collegiate approach to other writers on VT .
However not all of them reciprocate !
I am sure that Ian Greenhalgh will not mind my having a gentle pop at him , after his personal attacks on me this week .
I am sorry to say that Ian is laboring under several misconceptions .
Firstly he seems to be unaware that intelligence is capable of objective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my own IQ , and being a shy , retiring sort of chap , have always tended to underestimate my IQ anyway .
I merely report the objective assessment of my psychological profilers at the CIA and other intel agencies .
I ’ m told the CIA ’ s figure is 187 , and they ’ re not denying it .
The only time I ’ ve ever been examined by a psychiatrist was at the urging of those idiots , no offense intended , at the CPS , who came up with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The nice lady psychiatrist who saw me clearly realised that her time was being wasted as well as mine .
She thought my IQ was about 185 but expressed no view as to the IQ of prosecuting counsel .
Trust me , her estimate would have been a long way below 185 !
I ’ ve never been treated for so much as depression .
Ian is also laboring under the impression that I was actually guilty of the two offenses of which I was convicted .
The jury in the bomb @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial itself was unfair , with every respect to the learned trial judge , Judge McCreath , who very sensibly retired early .
The jury were lied to repeatedly by the prosecution , that is to say the conviction was obtained by deception .
As planned , I was hampered in my attacks on prosecution witnesses , several of whom were involved in tampering with the evidence , by the indecent images conviction , which was a complete crock .
We now know that the images in question were not downloaded from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but transferred from another device .
The memory stick to which they were transferred may have looked like mine , but was in fact manufactured several months after I was supposed to have commenced downloading the images .
The Dell laptop to which the device was connected turns out not to have been mine , indeed it seems to have been acquired in Canada , after my arrest , after efforts to tamper with the date/time stamps on mine failed .
Unsurprisingly neither the memory stick nor the laptop used to convict @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on them .
No doubt frightened by the impact this would have on their case , in an egregious abuse of process , Thames Valley Police took care to suppress the negative fingerprint and DNA reports from the CPS , myself and the court .
I only found out because they told MI5 .
( They didn ’ t realise I had better access to ‘ Box ’ than they did . )
Ian is right that Mossad decided against supporting me in 2014 .
However that ’ s not the whole story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the agency later played a key role in passing intercept data from the NSA to MI5 during the latter part of the ‘ von ’ Obama administration .
( Direct contact only became possible after President Trump took office . )
Every judge in the indecent images case has either retired early , or , in the case of Judge Karen Holt , been indicted .
It is likely that the Court of Appeal judges who decided against me will have to stand down as well , no offense intended .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be temporary , indeed the making of false accusations is about to backfire spectacularly .
No doubt Thames Valley Police , the CPS , the Cabinet Office and GO2 were hoping that I would be murdered in prison .
The first attempt was foiled by MI5 , who quietly arranged for the ISIL terrorist in question ’ s cell to be raided .
( There was an unusual delay in taking me to prison after I was sentenced , which seems to have been down to a battle over which prison I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was then forced to share a cell with the gay serial killer Stephen Port , but he turned out to be quite a nice serial killer .
At any rate he didn ’ t murder me , indeed he didn ’ t even try .
He ’ s still the nicest serial killer I ’ ve ever met .
British Airways , sadly , has announced this week that it ’ s retiring its remaining 747s , all Dash 400s .
The 747 is an iconic aircraft and it ’ s sad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has already retired its fleet , so this means the end of 747s on the British register .
The distinctive hump in the nose reflects the 747 ’ s origins as a competitor in the USAF ’ s CX heavy airlifter project , the competition eventually being won by the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy , another great airplane .
The USAF wanted front-loading , hence the need to place the cockpit up high .
The 747 was rushed into service less than a year after its first flight , with a major design flaw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ empennage , which eventually cost the lives of over 500 people on JAL Flight 123 .
This tragedy was triggered by an improper repair , but loss of the rear pressure bulkhead should not have led to the loss of the aircraft .
The Pratt & Whitney JT9D turbofans on early aircraft also proved to be unreliable .
The 747 really needed more testing and development , but most of its flaws were eventually cured .
TWA 800 of course was shot down by the Iranian Navy and its loss was not due @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It won ’ t be long , sadly , before the only 747 you can fly on is a freighter .

I’ve changed my mind! It’s not just a woman’s prerogative, but an intelligence analyst’s. When the facts change I change my opinion. Since my column last week new information has come to light about John F. Kennedy Jnr’s death in a plane crash on July 16th 1999. Thursday saw the 21st anniversary of the crash, of course.
It must be recalled that my involvement in serious intelligence work only began with the Pinochet case in 1999. I had not looked at the JFK Jnr crash in depth. Last week I was responding to suggestions from Q that he was still alive, which seem to me to be far-fetched.
I was also misled, to some extent, by ‘John John’s’ poor airmanship, which seemed to me to explain the crash. With every respect to his memory I maintain that his airmanship in not sticking to the planned departure time and not having a second pilot was poor. Undertaking a night flight over water, with passengers, in a single-engined airplane, with no second pilot, limited hours on type and no instrument rating was hazardous, to say the least.
Spatial disorientation can be a real problem, not least at night. It’s particularly difficult to judge height above water at night or in poor weather. Misjudgment of height above water is thought to be the reason behind the tragic loss off the Vietnamese coast of LTV RF-8G Crusader 144624 of VFP-62, flying from the Midway class attack carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, on September 6th 1966, with the death of her pilot, Lieutenant (j.g.) Norman Bundy. (See Martin Bowman, Cold War Jet Combat, 2016, at p.210.)
My attention has been drawn to research by my old friend Sherman Skolnick, the brilliant investigative journalist out of Chicago Illinois, who sadly passed in 2006, allegedly of a heart attack. Poor old Sherman had been disabled by polio as a boy.
Not everybody was fond of Sherman, especially corrupt judges in Illinois, where the bench was almost as crooked as the federal bench, no offense to the federal judiciary intended. I liked Sherman however and have always paid serious attention to his work. I only got to know him after the Kelly Assassination in 2003 – we never worked together on the JFK Jnr Assassination, nor discussed it.
Sherman came across an internal FBI report provisionally concluding sabotage through placement of an IED in the rear luggage compartment of the Saratoga. As many readers will know there are two luggage compartments on the Saratoga, one forward and one aft.
The aft compartment would be an ideal spot to place a small IED, with a view to blowing off the empennage. Once that’s gone you’re finished. The FBI report suggests that the tail was found some distance from the rest of the wreckage. The Coastguard also reported that the wreckage was spread over a fairly wide area.
This new evidence (new to me at any rate) about the debris field is important. If spatial disorientation was the cause the plane would have hit the water intact, albeit possibly at a steep angle. We would not expect a scattered debris field. In particular we would not expect any part of the empennage to be separated from the rest of the wreckage.
Sherman also cited radar evidence suggesting a rate of descent of 6,000 ft a minute. A rate of descent that fast virtually rules out spatial disorientation, because of noise. Trust me – if you’re in a light aircraft descending at 6,000 fpm you’re going to hear it. There’s no way you’re not going to know you’re going down. Any pilot would know to level the wings and pull up.
The reported rapid rate of descent is also consistent with the loss of the empennage. With a single pilot, a huge pilot workload and upset passengers it’s unsurprising that there was no Mayday call, but the DVD typically jam radios when bringing down aircraft in any event.
I was also unaware of the extent of JFK Jnr’s political ambitions. As of the date of his murder he had not run for elected office. Unbeknown to me however he and Al Gore’s people had been in discussion about JFK Jnr going on the ticket. There was also that upcoming Senate vacancy, on which Hillary Clinton had her eye.
If he was interested in the Vice-Presidency that meant he was interested in the Presidency, in particular in a run in 2008, for which the DVD had Barack ‘von’ Obama slotted in. Unlike LBJ, JFK Jnr would not have been interested in murdering his way into the White House, so Gore would have been safe.
Once installed in the Oval Office JFK Jnr would have been able to launch a serious investigation into the murder by the Germans of his illustrious father. I have no reason to believe that he knew about the DVD but he would have found out about them had he been elected President. There were enough people at Harvard who knew that the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated JFK was a crock. There’s no way that ‘John John’ would have bought into that nonsense.
Intriguingly, the title of JFK Jnr’s magazine, George, may have been aimed at the late George ‘von’ Bush Snr, who played a key role in the events of November 1963. It was ‘Senior’, a.k.a. ‘41’, who arranged for the exfiltration of the three teams of shooters and then had them whacked. (If the Germans ever ask you to shoot the President, say no – it’s illegal anyway, and they invariably take the shooters out.)
There’s still for room for doubt – was the debris field as Sherman described and was the rate of descent really as high as 6,000 fpm? However, on balance, in the light of the new information I conclude that John F. Kennedy Jnr was assassinated by the DVD in order to present him joining the Democratic ticket in 2000 through the placement of a low explosive yield IED in the rear luggage compartment.
USS Bonhomme Richard
I’m hearing that the serious fire aboard the Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) in San Diego was caused by sabotage. That would make sense. I’m assuming Correa/COREA Group, although it might have been the Chinese. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a group of BLM protestors carrying matches!
Deliberate sabotage of a warship in peacetime is an Act of War. The Administration should not pull its punches when the Navy’s report comes out.
Once again the fire demonstrated the US Navy’s superb damage control. No one died, thankfully, and the ship was saved, as was the USS Forrestal in July 1967, after the Correa Group’s John McCain tried to sink her. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that ONI had a hand in tampering with his ejection seat.
McCain was shot down over North Vietnam three months later, of course, although sadly he survived to inflict further damage on the US and the Republican Party in particular. He ought to have been given a fair court-martial and shot, nicely, after the Forrestal fire, in which many good men lost their lives.
Sir John Kerr
Whilst the US was reluctant to use the death penalty to execute traitors during the Vietnam War, contributing mightily to her failure to win it (Secretary of Defense McNamara could usefully have been sent to the electric chair in 1964 for example), the Bad Guys were not so hesitant. Just a few months after the German attempt to sink the Forrestal their Chinese allies captured and assassinated the Australian Prime Minister, Harold Holt.
Holt, a courageous man, was fully committed to supporting the Allied side in the Vietnam War. Peking and Hanoi wanted him replaced by the useless Senator Gorton, who did not so much wage the Vietnam War as dabble in it.
Holt’s assassination, absurdly, was put down to his being eaten by a shark. (How many times have you had a conversation along the lines of “I see another prime minister has been eaten by a shark” “Dang, that just keeps happening”?). This theory replaced the idea that Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy as the silliest explanation ever for the sudden death of a leader of a democracy.
The assassination of Harold Holt wasn’t China’s first interference in Australia’s domestic politics. Only the previous year they had been behind the shameful attempt to assassinate Leader of the Opposition Arthur Calwell, known for his sensible views about the Chinese. The Chinese plan was to have Calwell replaced by their man Gough Whitlam, who eventually became Prime Minister in 1972, promptly helping out the Reds by pulling Oz out of Vietnam.
Whitlam’s perfectly proper dismissal by Governor-General Sir John Kerr in 1975, after an intelligence briefing from ASIO about Whitlam’s ties to Peking, has featured in the news in recent weeks. After a dodgy ruling by the High Court of Australia, if that is not a tautology, private correspondence passing between the Governor-General and Sir Martin Charteris at the Palace has been released into the public domain.
Although the correspondence confirms that the decision to dismiss Whitlam was Sir John’s, and that Her Majesty was not involved, this has not stopped an idiot Aussie polly, if that is not another tautology with respect, Matt Thistlethwaite, from calling for a republic. According to Thistlethwaite (no, I hadn’t heard of him either), Her Majesty, Australia’s Head of State, is in some way ‘foreign’.
How Australia’s Head of State can be foreign is something Mr Thistlethwaite, to whom I shall copy these few modest remarks, does not condescend to explain. He may have been influenced by another with respect misconceived ruling of the High Court of Australia, Canavan & ors [2017] HCA 45, which in effect held that two of Australia’s recent Prime Ministers, Julia Gillard, who was born in Wales, and Tony Abbott, who was born in London, were ineligible to serve.
That with respect bizarre ruling turned on a misinterpretation of s.44(i) of the Australian Constitution. British Citizens are no more ‘foreign’ in Australia than Australian Citizens are in England – we are all subjects of the same Queen. There is no way that the Founding Fathers thought that anyone born in Britain could not serve as an MP or Senator. Indeed Sir Edmund Barton, Australia’s first Prime Minister, was a British Subject by descent.
Shamima Begum
Bizarre legal decisions are by means confined to Australia. In a doozy of a decision this week the Court of Appeal managed to persuade themselves that the Bangladeshi terrorist Shamima Begum can return to Britain to argue her appeal against deprivation of British Citizenship. ([2020 EWCA Civ 918.)
In a with respect rambling judgment the lead judge, Lord Justice Flaux, who incidentally denied me permission to appeal the High Court’s decision last year disbarring me without allowing me to challenge my wrongful 2014 convictions, tried to find his way around no fewer than three previous Court of Appeal decisions, which bound the court.
I sat as an immigration judge from 1992 until 2003 and was a specialist immigration lawyer for nearly a decade before that. Appeals against leave to enter the United Kingdom almost by definition require the appellant to remain outside the country. The whole point of the appeal of course is to determine whether they have a right of entry.
Tens of thousands of out of country appeals have been heard. I presided over several hundred myself. Appellants can give evidence by video-link, if need be, and can be represented by counsel. With every respect Flaux LJ does not condescend to explain, in any detail, what relevant evidence Ms Begum could give.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) concluded, correctly, that the Home Secretary’s decision to deprive Ms Begum of her British citizenship, on the basis of her admitted affiliation to the ISIL terrorist organisation, did not render her stateless.
That is because her father was born in Bangladesh in 1958. Accordingly, as I have previously reported in this column, she was a Bangladeshi citizen by descent, under s.5 of the renamed Bangladesh Citizenship Act 1951. (Bangladesh of course was then known as East Pakistan.) Since these facts are not disputed how could Ms Begum’s evidence assist?
The nonsensical claim that Bangladesh is some sort of dictatorship and that her human rights would be violated if she were to be sent to her sole country of nationality rested on country reports of dubious value. Begum has never been to Bangladesh and has no knowledge of conditions in that country.
The government has appealed the decision and rightly so, although there is no guarantee of a sensible decision from our Supreme Court, which is even sillier than yours, no offense intended. The Court of Appeal envisaged that Ms Begum would be given a UFF, which is an EU form for travellers without travel documents, but I am far from clear that Ms Begum qualifies for a UFF.
There is no reason on the face of it why the Bangladeshi government should not extend passport facilities to Ms Begum. She is not stateless and is not a refugee. She is a captured unlawful combatant. As a Bangladeshi she is a visa national and will require a visa for entry to the UK for all purposes.
The simplest disposal would be to hand her over to the Kurds for a fair trial, followed by execution by firing squad, in the nicest possible way of course. (Ms Begum is reported to be a great believer in the death penalty.) However that is a matter entirely for the Syrian Democratic Forces in the first instance.
Response to Ian Greenhalgh
As regular readers will know I try to adopt a collegiate approach to other writers on VT. However not all of them reciprocate! I am sure that Ian Greenhalgh will not mind my having a gentle pop at him, after his personal attacks on me this week.
I am sorry to say that Ian is laboring under several misconceptions. Firstly he seems to be unaware that intelligence is capable of objective assessment. I make no claims for my own IQ, and being a shy, retiring sort of chap, have always tended to underestimate my IQ anyway. I merely report the objective assessment of my psychological profilers at the CIA and other intel agencies. I’m told the CIA’s figure is 187, and they’re not denying it.
The only time I’ve ever been examined by a psychiatrist was at the urging of those idiots, no offense intended, at the CPS, who came up with the delusional idea that I was insane. The nice lady psychiatrist who saw me clearly realised that her time was being wasted as well as mine. She thought my IQ was about 185 but expressed no view as to the IQ of prosecuting counsel. Trust me, her estimate would have been a long way below 185! I’ve never been treated for so much as depression.
Ian is also laboring under the impression that I was actually guilty of the two offenses of which I was convicted. The jury in the bomb hoax trial were tampered with and the trial itself was unfair, with every respect to the learned trial judge, Judge McCreath, who very sensibly retired early. The jury were lied to repeatedly by the prosecution, that is to say the conviction was obtained by deception.
As planned, I was hampered in my attacks on prosecution witnesses, several of whom were involved in tampering with the evidence, by the indecent images conviction, which was a complete crock. We now know that the images in question were not downloaded from the Internet, as claimed by the CPS, but transferred from another device.
The memory stick to which they were transferred may have looked like mine, but was in fact manufactured several months after I was supposed to have commenced downloading the images. The Dell laptop to which the device was connected turns out not to have been mine, indeed it seems to have been acquired in Canada, after my arrest, after efforts to tamper with the date/time stamps on mine failed.
Unsurprisingly neither the memory stick nor the laptop used to convict me had either my fingerprints or DNA on them. No doubt frightened by the impact this would have on their case, in an egregious abuse of process, Thames Valley Police took care to suppress the negative fingerprint and DNA reports from the CPS, myself and the court. I only found out because they told MI5. (They didn’t realise I had better access to ‘Box’ than they did.)
Ian is right that Mossad decided against supporting me in 2014. However that’s not the whole story. I had my supporters in Mossad and the agency later played a key role in passing intercept data from the NSA to MI5 during the latter part of the ‘von’ Obama administration. (Direct contact only became possible after President Trump took office.)
Every judge in the indecent images case has either retired early, or, in the case of Judge Karen Holt, been indicted. It is likely that the Court of Appeal judges who decided against me will have to stand down as well, no offense intended. The damage to my reputation has proved to be temporary, indeed the making of false accusations is about to backfire spectacularly.
No doubt Thames Valley Police, the CPS, the Cabinet Office and GO2 were hoping that I would be murdered in prison. The first attempt was foiled by MI5, who quietly arranged for the ISIL terrorist in question’s cell to be raided. (There was an unusual delay in taking me to prison after I was sentenced, which seems to have been down to a battle over which prison I was going to be sent to.)
I was then forced to share a cell with the gay serial killer Stephen Port, but he turned out to be quite a nice serial killer. At any rate he didn’t murder me, indeed he didn’t even try. He’s still the nicest serial killer I’ve ever met.
BA 747-400
BA’s 747s
British Airways, sadly, has announced this week that it’s retiring its remaining 747s, all Dash 400s. The 747 is an iconic aircraft and it’s sad to see them go. Virgin Atlantic has already retired its fleet, so this means the end of 747s on the British register.
The distinctive hump in the nose reflects the 747’s origins as a competitor in the USAF’s CX heavy airlifter project, the competition eventually being won by the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, another great airplane. The USAF wanted front-loading, hence the need to place the cockpit up high.
The 747 was rushed into service less than a year after its first flight, with a major design flaw, a lack of bulkheads protecting the empennage, which eventually cost the lives of over 500 people on JAL Flight 123. This tragedy was triggered by an improper repair, but loss of the rear pressure bulkhead should not have led to the loss of the aircraft.
The Pratt & Whitney JT9D turbofans on early aircraft also proved to be unreliable. The 747 really needed more testing and development, but most of its flaws were eventually cured. TWA 800 of course was shot down by the Iranian Navy and its loss was not due to any fault with the plane. It won’t be long, sadly, before the only 747 you can fly on is a freighter.

Yehuda Bauer (Hebrew: יהודה באואר; born April 6, 1926) is an Israeli historian and scholar of the Holocaust. He is a professor of Holocaust Studies at the Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He was the founding editor of the journal Holocaust and Genocide Studies and served on the editorial board of the Encyclopaedia of the Holocaust, published by Yad Vashem in 1990.
– First published … July 18, 2020 –
A prominent Israeli historian has lambasted the Tel Aviv regime for having “collaborated” with Holocaust distortion and accepting the Polish narrative completely for the sake of political, economic and security gains.
Speaking in a webinar for British educators organized by the University College of London, Yehuda Bauer said Israeli authorities are using a fictitious storyline and playing along with it.
“The problem that we face is the identification of Israel with a distortion of the Holocaust, especially in Poland. The political and economic and security relationship between Israel and Poland is great, why would this problem of the Holocaust come between this?” he said.
He said the Israeli regime “decided to settle it” and sent a two-man team to negotiate with the Poles, “neither of them are experts on the Holocaust or history or Poland”, and they ended up “accepting the Polish narrative completely”.
“Anti-Semitism is defined in those documents, signed on June 28, 2018, as the same thing as anti-Polandism by the Jews. So, 2,000 years of anti-Semitism equals the opposition of some Jews to Poland,” Baurer, a professor of Holocaust Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem al-Quds, noted.
“Yad Vashem [Israel’s official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust] doesn’t normally react. This was an exception. It was so gross, so dangerous. We don’t accept the distortion of the Holocaust. What I’m saying is not only directed against the Polish nationalists but against the collaborators on the Israeli side as well,” he further argued.
Bauer then described distortion as “a completely one-sided mixture of truths and untruths which is more dangerous than outright lies”.
He said, “Distortion is when you say yes it happened, it was terrible, but we didn’t do it – the Germans did it, only them, no-one else. Yes, there were a few bad eggs among us who collaborated, denounced Jews, participated.”
Bauer added that “without a large part of the population, arguably a majority, there could have been no Holocaust, because the Germans didn’t know how to differentiate between Jews and Lithuanians, Jews and Poles, Jews and Hungarians.
“The number of Jews who could be identified from traditional ultra-Orthodox clothing was relatively small. The vast majority looked like everyone else in their neighborhood. Without the help of the local population, no Holocaust could have happened. So, this is a denial of what happened, a distortion,” Bauer pointed out.
Back in April 2017, Bauer dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion that the Allies could have saved four million Jews from the Holocaust if they had bombed Nazi death camps from 1942.
“This is utter nonsense. There is absolutely no truth in this,” he said at the time, emphasizing that the combined Anglo-American air forces were incapable of reaching any destination east of Berlin and the Elbe River until early 1944.
“The reason for that is simple: The Anglo-American bombers had no fighter escort that could reach those distances,” the historian highlighted.
“There was no possibility whatsoever of reaching the places where Jews were being killed until [early] 1944,” he said back then.

Guardian: Covid-19 cases are surging across much of the American south and west, as familiar scenes of weary doctors and nurses in packed hospitals replay across a new region.
3. Many more will die from consequences of Govt-induced unemployment than this virus. https://t.co/P6ErwzDQ7I
In today's Panic Porn in NSW Media, there are 3 key facts left out:
In Washington, Congress is gearing up to pass another economic stimulus package. Optimistic economists once thought such a package could be unnecessary. But Covid-19 is now expected to continue to hurt the economy.
BREAKING: Florida's coronavirus cases jump by 12,624, one of the state's highest daily totals. Florida currently has 47 hospitals with no available ICU beds and 25 hospitals with just one available ICU bed, officials say. https://t.co/U4C4u8vDDP — ABC News (@ABC) July 13, 2020
The US is now logging more than 70,600 new Covid-19 infections a day, according to Johns Hopkins University, up from a low of around 20,000 in early June.
Many Arizona businesses remain open despite the state reaching record numbers of new COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and ICU bed usage. VP Pence continues to falsely claim that the state’s numbers are “declining." https://t.co/XO4byZr7zp — MSNBC (@MSNBC) July 10, 2020
Before you decide to be a dick and joke about COVID I thought I’d let y’all know that El Paso is currently experiencing a shortage on ICU beds. So it’s all fun and games until a family member gets sick and can’t get a bed in intensivie care. — posh spice (@LittleBiaancaa) July 13, 2020
More than 3.5 million people have been diagnosed with Covid-19 and 138,000 have died since January, when the disease was first found in the US.
Last night #Florida remaining hospital capacity was 20.72% & ICU was 15%(not counting additional beds that can be converted). But these numbers will get much worse if discharges slow down due to not enough doses of Remdesivir. We can’t wait until July 27th for next allocation. — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) July 16, 2020
“People continue to regard the virus as a political scheme or conspiracy theory,” Dr Chad Dowell, a doctor in Indianola, Mississippi, said in a Facebook post released by South Sunflower county hospital.
“People continue to ignore recommended guidelines on how to help slow the virus’ spread. People continue to complain about wearing a mask. We’ve got to do better as a community.”
Experts consider rising hospitalization rates a likely harbinger for a surge in US deaths, which as a lagging indicator, have remained low. In the last week, hospitals from Florida to southern California have filled with patients in need of intensive care.
BREAKING: Hospitals with small ICUs have 3x the COVID death rate of those with at least 100 ICU beds. https://t.co/gbUn1CBpX3 — Andy Slavitt @ 🏡 (@ASlavitt) July 18, 2020

In the 1960s , it was widely reported that “ heroin began flowing into the United States from Southeast Asia in body bags returning from the war , courtesy of the CIA.

” [ 2 ] Virtually all the intellectuals , gurus , drug addicts , and even musicians of the counterrevolution agreed with Lennon .
Timothy Leary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Crowley reborn , said : “ The LSD movement was started by the CIA .
I wouldn ’ t be here now without the foresight of CIA scientists.
” [ 3 ] Allen Ginsberg acknowledged : “ Am I , Allen Ginsberg , the product of one of the CIA ’ s lamentable , ill-advised , or triumphantly successful experiments in mind control ?
Had they , by conscious plan or inadvertent Pandora ’ s Box , let loose the whole LSD fad on the US and the world ?
” [ 4 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was part of the “ successful experiment ” the CIA was conducting in the 1950s and 60s .
Kesey was studying creative writing at Stanford when he first took LSD in 1959 .
When Menlo Park Veterans Administration Hospital offered to give mind-altering drugs to volunteers , Kesey couldn ’ t be more excited : he quickly put his name on the dotted line .
His drug trip at the hospital was an epiphany .
In order to test his experiment further , he took a job at the same hospital and spread @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Stephen Kinzer writes that Kesey ’ s home “ turned into a twenty-four-hour psychedelic party as friends and neighbors got high and danced to loud music , electric rock music.
” [ 5 ] Under the influence of LSD , Kesey got enough material for his new novel , One Flew Over the Cuckoo ’ s Nest , the book which ultimately became a bestseller .
“ With the money he earned from royalties , Kesey bought a new home and began throwing ‘ acid tests ’ at which he served LSD @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poets , musicians , and bikers from the Hells Angels gang…Kesey gave LSD a new role in American society.
” [ 6 ] Leary , Kesey , Ginsberg , Aldous Huxley , Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead , among others , were all the product of MK-Ultra , a secret program which the CIA brought about through one man , Sidney Gottlieb , who actually was “ the Government chemist who dosed Americans with psychedelics in the name of national security.
” [ 7 ] Under the director of Allen Dulles , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LSD virtually everywhere during the 1950s and 60s in order to control people .
In fact , Dulles explicitly declared that one of the main purposes for developing MK-Ultra was to control people , [ 8 ] particularly mental patients , prisoners ( from Japan , Korea , Germany ) , and drug addicts , prostitutes , and even children .
[ 9 ] As they put it , these people “ could not fight back.
” [ 10 ] What was the false pretense that the CIA and Gottlieb used to dose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ science ” and “ patriotism , ” they were trying to find a cure for schizophrenia .
One patient in particular “ was dosed with LSD continuously for 174 days ” in Kentucky .
Other patients went mad , others had to suffer psychological damage for the rest of their lives , and others ended up dead because of the diabolical experiment .
[ 11 ] And between 1953 and 1963 oligarchic institutions like Princeton , Harvard , Yale , Columbia , Stanford , Columbia University , Cornell , etc.

” [ 14 ] Hunter , who himself experimented with the drug at Stanford under the auspices of the CIA [ 15 ] and who got hypnotized by the drug , eventually came to the conclusion that “ the United States government was in a way responsible for creating the ‘ acid tests ’ and the Grateful Dead , and thereby the whole psychedelic counterculture.
” [ 16 ] Like Agave in Euripides ’ The Bacchae , Hunter eventually realized that he was duped .
His moral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ realized that he was a guinea pig in a social experiment .

[ 17 ] Gottlieb was aptly called “ the Black Sorcerer.

Gottlieb also had a plan to upgrade the social engineering that was part of the CIA ’ s program in the United States .
He wanted to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drugs , most specifically through LSD and other powerful psychoactive drugs .
According to Kinzer , the CIA and the psychological warfare program called this “ a new era of humane warfare.
” [ 19 ] Gottlieb joined the CIA in 1951 , and he quickly created the poison that they wanted .
No , he did not invent LSD ; the man responsible for concocting the drug was Albert Hofmann , a Swiss chemist and author who synthesized the drug with ergot and other supplements in November of 1938 .
Hoffman also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Child .
It was indeed his problem child , for Hoffman tried the drug on himself and , like Aleister Crowley , discovered something powerful .
After absorbing the drug , he said that he felt “ a remarkable restlessness , combined with a slight dizziness .

In a dreamlike state , with eyes closed ( I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring ) , I perceived an uninterrupted stream of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , kaleidoscopic play of colors .

Kesey was studying creative writing at Stanford when he first took LSD in 1959. When Menlo Park Veterans Administration Hospital offered to give mind-altering drugs to volunteers, Kesey couldn’t be more excited: he quickly put his name on the dotted line. His drug trip at the hospital was an epiphany. In order to test his experiment further, he took a job at the same hospital and spread the gospel of LSD to his comrades. Stephen Kinzer writes that Kesey’s home “turned into a twenty-four-hour psychedelic party as friends and neighbors got high and danced to loud music, electric rock music.”[5]
Under the influence of LSD, Kesey got enough material for his new novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the book which ultimately became a bestseller. “With the money he earned from royalties, Kesey bought a new home and began throwing ‘acid tests’ at which he served LSD to a wild roster of guests including poets, musicians, and bikers from the Hells Angels gang…Kesey gave LSD a new role in American society.”[6]
MK-Ultra
Leary, Kesey, Ginsberg, Aldous Huxley, Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead, among others, were all the product of MK-Ultra, a secret program which the CIA brought about through one man, Sidney Gottlieb, who actually was “the Government chemist who dosed Americans with psychedelics in the name of national security.”[7] Under the director of Allen Dulles, both the CIA and Gottlieb deliberately spread LSD virtually everywhere during the 1950s and 60s in order to control people.
In fact, Dulles explicitly declared that one of the main purposes for developing MK-Ultra was to control people,[8] particularly mental patients, prisoners (from Japan, Korea, Germany), and drug addicts, prostitutes, and even children.[9] As they put it, these people “could not fight back.”[10] What was the false pretense that the CIA and Gottlieb used to dose these people? In the name of “science” and “patriotism,” they were trying to find a cure for schizophrenia. One patient in particular “was dosed with LSD continuously for 174 days” in Kentucky. Other patients went mad, others had to suffer psychological damage for the rest of their lives, and others ended up dead because of the diabolical experiment.[11] And between 1953 and 1963 oligarchic institutions like Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Columbia University, Cornell, etc., all supported MK-Ultra—directly or indirectly.[12] Other institutions such as “Massachusetts General Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, the Universities of Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Denver, Illinois, Oklahoma, Rochester, Texas and Indiana as well as Berkeley, Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, Baylor, Emory, George Washington, Vanderbilt, Cornell, John Hopkins New York University” were all involved in MK-Ultra.[13]
Kinzer calls Gottlieb “the most powerful unknown American of the 20th century—unless there was someone else who conducted brutal experiments across three continents and had a license to kill issued by the U.S. government.”[14] Hunter, who himself experimented with the drug at Stanford under the auspices of the CIA[15] and who got hypnotized by the drug, eventually came to the conclusion that “the United States government was in a way responsible for creating the ‘acid tests’ and the Grateful Dead, and thereby the whole psychedelic counterculture.”[16]
Like Agave in Euripides’ The Bacchae, Hunter eventually realized that he was duped. His moral integrity had awakened, and he eventually realized that he was a guinea pig in a social experiment. But for him and others, it was already too late. An entire culture and indeed a nation were hooked on a drug that was hatched by a man whose diabolical plan was to control much of humanity. That man again was none other than Jewish revolutionary Sidney Gottlieb. John Marks, a sympathizer, declared that if one used the Nuremberg standards, Gottlieb would have been executed on the spot precisely because he did the same thing that the Nazis were allegedly doing.[17]
Gottlieb was aptly called “the Black Sorcerer.”[18] He was a scientist at the US Army’s laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and was specifically assigned by the CIA to create a lethal toxin that would allow the CIA to not only manipulate people at will but to assassinate perceived enemies and dissidents.
Gottlieb also had a plan to upgrade the social engineering that was part of the CIA’s program in the United States. He wanted to see how individual behavior could be altered via drugs, most specifically through LSD and other powerful psychoactive drugs. According to Kinzer, the CIA and the psychological warfare program called this “a new era of humane warfare.”[19]
Gottlieb joined the CIA in 1951, and he quickly created the poison that they wanted. No, he did not invent LSD; the man responsible for concocting the drug was Albert Hofmann, a Swiss chemist and author who synthesized the drug with ergot and other supplements in November of 1938. Hoffman also wrote the book LSD: My Problem Child. It was indeed his problem child, for Hoffman tried the drug on himself and, like Aleister Crowley, discovered something powerful. After absorbing the drug, he said that he felt
“a remarkable restlessness, combined with a slight dizziness. At home I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant intoxicated-like condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours this condition faded away…. I see the true importance of LSD in the possibility of providing material aid to meditation aimed at the mystical experience of a deeper, comprehensive reality.”[20]
This “mystical experience” was again felt by Crowley and a host of black magicians over the centuries.
How does the drug work? Simple: “After receiving the toxin orally or by pinprick, a victim first feels a tingling sensation in the fingers and lips and dies ten seconds later from a painless paralysis.”[21]
Gottlieb, throughout his life, was never prosecuted for his crime. He was protected by the CIA, oligarchic institutions, and the elite. If there was one person who deserved to be hanged before he died, then that person should have been Sidney Gottlieb.

What Are mRNA Vaccines, and Could They Work Against COVID-19? by Marcus A. Banks/Smithsonianmag.com The race for a vaccine is on. Earlier this month, the U.S. government agreed to pay $4 billion to six pharmaceutical companies, including $1.6 billion to drug developer Novavax, in return for the promise of delivering 100 million doses of a new vaccine against the novel coronavirus by early 2021. This timetable is breathtakingly fast, as new vaccine development typically requires several years, but it demonstrates the urgency with which scientists around the world are trying to slow down COVID-19. The sprint for a vaccine could bring a new technique to the fore: using messenger RNA (mRNA). If successful, the treatment would be the first-ever commercially available mRNA vaccine. In May, the pharmaceutical company Moderna released preliminary data showing that its mRNA vaccine safely offered some degree of immunity against COVID-19.
