SABOTAGE?

The Crash of Ron Brown's Plane
------------------------------
By Sherman H. Skolnick
The plane supposedly hit a hilltop in Croatia. Odd, but parts of
the plane were found some distance away from the crash site. A
local official said they recovered the black box, the tell-tale
flight recorder. Yet, later, U.S. officials said the plane had
no flight recorder. A senior U.S. defense official hastened to
point out that "the U.S. and NATO have the entire region covered
with aerial surveillance and detected no hostile action against
the plane nor explosion aboard." Who asked him?
Was there foul play? It may take a long while for independent
journalists to determine, if ever. Was there a motive in getting
rid of U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, who died in the
crash? Judge for yourself.
ITEM: A couple of years prior to the crash, a Vietnamese
official accused Ron Brown of soliciting a huge bribe -- like
$700,000 -- to get Clinton to open up Viet Nam to American big
business. A federal grand jury began hearing evidence for a
possible criminal indictment. There was jury tampering by
President Clinton and his Justice Department. The grand jury
proceedings were supposed to be secret, yet Brown and his
confederates were day by day, illegally kept informed, so they
could obstruct justice by bribing or terrorizing grand jury
witnesses. Brown was not indicted.
ITEM: At the time of the crash, a federal grand jury in the
Southwest was reportedly just a few weeks away from handing up a
criminal indictment, charging Commerce Secretary Brown with
taking a huge bribe to fix a matter involving a gas pipeline
case, implicating Bill Clinton and his circle of big business
scoundrels. Now, according to Brown's confidants, who ask not to
be identified -- they say Ron Brown was planning to NOT take the
fall -- he was planning to finger Bill and Hillary Clinton on the
gas pipeline bribery mess.
Was it just a coincidence that a week previous, the same plane
carried the First Lady and her daughter?
In 1973, I wrote one of the first books of its kind, the Secret
History of Airplane Sabotage. Such a book is taboo; it makes
airlines and airline passengers nervous. The book was snuffed
out in production by Rockefeller's lawyers; the largest
stockholders of one of the main airlines named, United Air Lines,
was Rockefeller-owned Chase Manhattan Bank. An edition of "Reel
News" magazine, distributed at airports and such, detailing
airplane sabotage evidence, was blocked from distribution. It
was more or less the last edition; the magazine was put to the
wall.
From at least the time of Adolph Hitler, airplane sabotage was
the favorite way of getting rid of troublemakers. A few years
after the assassination of President Kennedy, a disgruntled CIA
official was on the way to Chicago to tell a journalist of the
CIA's complicity in the murder. His plane blew up and fell in
Lake Michigan in shallow water. Early editions of one newspaper
mentioned the explosion. Later news forgot the story. The chief
crash investigator confided to me how the plane bombing was
covered up. A diver went into the shallow water and stole the
black box, the flight recorder -- sort of similar to Ron Brown's
plane.
A month after Nixon was re-elected president, in 1972, a United
Air Lines plane pancaked, falling into a residential area, just
short of Chicago's Midway Airport. Strange, but within a few
minutes, 150 Justice Department agents surrounded the plane and
cordoned off the zone. They kept Chicago fire and police, and
hospital ambulances, from approaching the plane.
Why? Because onboard were 12 Watergate figures, including
Dorothy Hunt, wife of E. Howard Hunt, the Watergate burglar. The
twelve were among those that died in the crash, although there is
reason to believe Mrs. Hunt was murdered by the FBI on the
ground. Toxicology reports showed she had a higher level of
cyanide in her body than she could have gotten from the airplane
fire. As referred to later in secret FBI reports, Mrs. Hunt
bought a second First Class seat on which she kept a suitcase
with two million dollars in negotiable instruments. Her husband
reportedly had blackmailed Tricky Dick [Nixon] with inside CIA
knowledge of Nixon's role in arranging and carrying out the
murder of JFK. In the celebrated Watergate tapes, Nixon uses the
code phrase "Bay of Pigs" when he was actually referring to the
Dallas "hit".
Other oddities of the Watergate plane crash: The tell-tale
flight recorder supposedly jammed. An intelligence agency
operative in a jumpsuit managed to escape from the tail of the
plane. What was he doing onboard? A mafia gang of air baggage
thieves, apparently with FBI complicity, stole Mrs. Hunt's
suitcase containing money orders and cashiers' checks and peddled
that on the black market for two-and-a-half times the face value.
That, because they could be traced back to incriminate Nixon as
to why he reportedly found it necessary to pay the blackmail.
Details of the mafia gang were brought out in the unpublicized
case in Chicago federal district court of U.S. vs. Joseph
Sarelli, during which this writer was the only journalist
covering the trial. Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, as part of a
cover up, had his Sanitation Department quickly bury the fuselage
of the plane in a mafia-owned dumpsite, before the plane crash
could be investigated.
Our group "liberated" the entire file on the crash from the
federal agency, National Transportation Safety Board [NTSB] --
some 1300 documents and pictures showing sabotage. To be
supported by this and other evidence, we brought a court suit to
expose the cover up of the sabotage. The case was torpedoed by
then U.S. Attorney Jim Thompson, who with the help of Nelson
Rockefeller went on to become Illinois Governor for 14 years.
The highly corrupt NTSB hearing board panel later ruled it was
"pilot error"; hearing board members were also investors in
airline stock.
Rockefeller-owned United Air Lines, if the sabotage were widely
publicized, would have lost their certificate to fly because of
their role in covering up the sabotage. They are the largest air
carrier in the U.S. The story of the sabotage evidence ran on the
international and national wires of Associated Press but was only
used by one smaller U.S. newspaper. Later, a 90-minute
documentary on the sabotage ran on the television in Sweden. I
assisted their film crew.
Other examples of censoring of airplane sabotage stories in my
censored book included "The Mattei Affair". He was the petroleum
and energy czar in Italy and wanted to make Italy independent of
the Rockefeller oil interests. Mattei publicly condemned
Rockefeller and the Standard Oil monopoly. Mattei died in a
sabotaged airplane crash.
The secret U-2 plane of Gary Powers went down over the Soviet
Union because of the connivance of the U.S. military-industrial
complex that needed an incident to stop U.S.-U.S.S.R. peace
meetings. His plane was sabotaged; the press says the Soviets
hit him with a missile, which was unlikely because of the extreme
high altitude the U-2 was at. (See the book, "The Secret Team"
by Fletcher Prouty.)
In 1977, Gary Powers began going public with details. Such as
Lee Harvey Oswald, on behalf of the CIA, was keeping track of the
U-2, at the secret U-2 radar facility Atsugi, Japan. Powers
apparently was working on a book about the CIA and Oswald and the
U-2 affair. In 1977, Powers and his TV cameraman, George Spears,
died when the TV helicopter they were in crashed. The
pressfakers falsely stated the crash was caused by running out of
fuel. Actually, the tail rotor was blown off by a shaped charge
supplied by an explosives manufacturing firm owned by Michael
Riconosciuto and his father. (In 1995, Spears' son, Terrence,
was disbarred for complaining about federal court corruption.
The younger Spears was an attorney representing dissidents.)
Norman Ollestad was a well-informed former FBI agent who wrote a
book condemning the FBI. He died in a sabotaged plane crash.
Gary Caradori was a private investigator pursuing leads on a ring
of children used for sex and satanic rituals by prominent people
in Omaha, Nebraska. Among those implicated with the strange
goings-on was George Bush. He [Caradori] called a state official
in Nebraska, telling him that he had the evidence now. As his
plane was taking off from Chicago, Caradori and his son died when
an explosive device caused the plane to crash. Reportedly in on
the sabotage was an FBI agent, Mike "Chuckie" Peters, who himself
flies a helicopter. According to an undisputed court suit,
Peters was reportedly implicated in the murders of some 40
federal grand jury witnesses in the INSLAW affair, theft of high
technology by the Reagan and Bush White House and their cronies.
Former Chicago Federal District Judge Nicholas J. Bua, as
so-called Special Counsel to the Justice Department for their
investigation supposedly of themselves, used Peters with
wide-ranging authority to search out and interview federal grand
jury witnesses. The witnesses were found dead under
circumstances tending to show murder. A lawsuit against Bua on
the failure to protect grand jury witnesses was thrown out of
court without legal formality. Bua's report on INSLAW stated he
could not find any evidence of wrongdoing by his employer the
Justice Department.
Judge Bua, by the way, was promoted from the state court to the
federal district court as a pay-off for his role in covering up
the sabotage in the Watergate plane crash. Without having the
evidence of sabotage, known to be available, he made a
pronouncement that "there was no sabotage".
These are just a few examples of getting rid of "trouble-makers"
by the convenient device of airplane sabotage.
Was there foul play -- sabotage -- in the crash of Ron Brown's
plane? We hope to bring you further developments in future
stories.
Last minute addition to story: Ron Brown was recent chairman of
the Democratic National Committee [DNC]. Insofar as there was
foul play, you have to consider: Brown was in a position to know
that DNC money reportedly secretly paid for whitewashing some
details of the strange death of Clinton White House deputy
counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr. Reportedly 150 thousand dollars of
DNC funds went to influence CBS' "60 Minutes" program honcho Mike
Wallace to do a cover-up program about Foster and Ft. Marcy Park.
Also, 276 thousand dollars reportedly was funneled to Foster's
wife Lisa to keep her mouth shut about the strange death of her
husband and to make public statements that she knew it was
suicide, when it was more likely murder. How much will it cost
-- did it cost -- to cover up the death of Ron Brown?
