Another question- why would he refer to "drinking Koolaid"...Just wierd.


while reading through all the various info regarding the Gannon/Guckert/Gosch
situation that has come to light, i stumbled across a mention of Gary Webb, in
Dave McGowan's "The Pedophocracy, Part III: Uncle Sam Wants Your Children"

http://www.the7thfire.com/Politics%20and%20History/Pedophocracy/child_sexual_abuse_at_Presidio_and_West_Point.htm

in Dave McGowan's article, he points out:

"Aquino and some of his defenders have consistently claimed that no one was
ever prosecuted in the case due to a lack of evidence. This is cited as proof
that the entire affair was no more than a Ôwitch hunt.Õ Of course, the failure
to prosecute the federal charges could have been due to the fact that, at the
time, the U.S. Attorney in San Francisco handling the case was Joseph
Russoniello
. Russoniello would later be identified by reporter Gary Webb (of
the San Jose Mercury News) as a player in the Contra cocaine smuggling
operation led by Lt. Col. Oliver North and company, just as witnesses would
later identify Lt. Col. Michael Aquino as an operative in the very same sordid
affair."


so when i read this, i started looking into this Joseph Russoniello character.

here is a link to his bio from his law office:
http://www.cooley.com/attorneys/bio.aspx?ID=33144003

which states:
" He personally prosecuted Larry Layton of the Peoples Temple for his part in
the murder of Congressman Leo Ryan in Jonestown, Guyana and tried several
other high profile criminal and civil cases."


and also:
"Following graduation from NYU he was appointed a special agent with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, and later served as an assistant district
attorney for the City and County of San Francisco before joining Cooley
Godward in 1975."


The Peoples Temple is of course where we get the koolaid.

Gary Webb exposed Russoniello in connection with the "Frogmen" CIA cocaine
operation, summarized briefly in a PDF found here:

http://www.deepblacklies.co.uk/masters_of_persuasion.pdf

"In addition to his involvement with the PeopleÕs Temple prosecution,
Russoniello has been involved in many of the more high-profile law cases of
recent years. Respected journalists like Robert Parry - who specialises in
intelligence and political corruption stories - have written scathing
articles about RussonielloÕs handling of the now infamous ÒFrogman Case.Ó
This case was at the heart of a series of stories published by, Gary Webb,
a staff writer for the San Jose Mercury News, called The Dark Alliance, which
implicated the CIA in the narcotics traffic. The charge that the CIA and
other members of the US intelligence community are deeply involved in the
global drugs business is nothing new. Respected academics like Professor
Peter Dale Scott and Professor Alfred McCoy are amongst many others who have
provided compelling evidence that the CIA are the de facto guardians of dope.
In fact, McCoyÕs groundbreaking book ÒThe Politics of HeroinÓ is subtitled
ÒCIA Complicity In The Global Drug Trade.Ó During a radio interview in 1991,
McCoy stated, Ò...drug lords, connected to the CIA and protected by the CIA,
were able to release periodic heroin surges and periodic
cocaine surges.Ó He then added ÒYou can trace very precisely during the 40
years of the cold war, the upsurge in narcotics supply in the United States
with covert operations.Ó Likewise, Berkeley Professor, Peter Dale Scott,
author of ÒCocaine Politics: Drugs, Armies and the CIA in Central America,Ó
exhaustively details CIA knowledge of and complicity in protecting Latin
American drug lords. Gary WebbÕs Dark Alliance series rocked the nation
with its charge that the CIA had knowingly supported Contra operatives who
were responsible for the crack cocaine epidemic that hit the country in the
early 1980Õs. Such was the righteous outrage of the CIA at these charges
that Webb was in effect sacked from his job as his editor and other senior
staff ducked responsibility. A report later published by the CIA proved that
Webb was right all along. This CIA report also deals with another Contra
connected drugs trafficking case where the CIA had ÒdiscouragedÓ
investigation. This was the socalled ÒFrogman Case,Ó where swimmers wearing
wet suits were apprehended with 430 pounds of cocaine they were bringing
ashore near San Francisco. In all, almost fifty individuals, including
numerous Nicaraguans, were arrested and the drugs and some cash was seized
and impounded. Complications arose for the CIA when Francisco Aviles Saenz,
a Contra political operative living in Costa Rica, wrote to the federal court
in San Francisco stating that $36,800 seized in the case belonged to the
Contras and he wanted it back. Incredibly, the money was ÒreturnedÓ to the
Nicaraguan cocaine dealer arrested by the FBI. Congressional records show
that Senate investigators later tried to establish why US Attorney, Joseph
Russoniello, had authorised the return of the money. But the Congressional
investigators ran into a roadblock of official secrecy, according to Jack
Blum, former chief counsel to the Senate subcommittee that investigated the
many allegations of Contra cocaine trafficking. ÒThe Justice Department
flipped out to prevent us from getting access to people, records Ð finding
anything out about it,Ó Blum told Webb."


and here is where this leads.

from

"In Catholic Circles
An International News Roundup
Spring 2005....

The Sexual Abuse Crisis

News Roundup......

The president of the USCCB appointed a new chairman and five new members to
the National Review Board, the USCCB-sponsored group of laypeople charged with
monitoring the hierarchyÕs response to the sexual abuse crisis. Nicholas P.
Cafardi, dean of Duquesne University Law School, Pittsburgh, and serving board
member, was named chairman until the conclusion of his term in June, 2005.

The new members, appointed for three-year terms ending October 2007, are: Dr.
Patricia OÕDonnell Ewers, educational consultant and president emeritus of
Pace University, New York; Dr. Angelo P. Giardino, vice president for clinical
affairs of St. ChristopherÕs Hospital for Children, Philadelphia; Mr. Ralph I.
Lancaster, Esq. of Pierce Atwood, Portland, Maine; Judge Michael R. Merz,
United States Magistrate Judge; Mr. Joseph Russoniello, Esq. , senior counsel
and resident in the San Francisco office of Cooley Godward, LLP. One member,
New York attorney Pamela Hayes, resigned her position early after conservative
Catholic groups alleged that she made contributions to prochoice organizations."


so, after all of that, basically what im pointing out is that a longtime CIA/FBI asset in the legal profession, Russoniello, who prosecuted (coveredup) the Peoples Temple/ Jim Jones situation, who was implicated in the CIA Contra Cocaine scandle, who failed to prosecute Satanist Michael Aquino for his role in child abuse in California (which ties in directly to Offit Air Base/Franklin Coverup/Gosch case), is now responsible for looking into pedophilia in the Catholic Church.

And Gary Webb shot himself twice in the head.

Drink the koolaid.
