Guckert/Gannon in White House with no record of entry or exit
by ePluribus Media
Wed Apr 27th, 2005 at 05:59:48 PDT

To be fair, when Ronald Reagan was wounded by John Hinckley it was an unpredictable bank shot around his human shields that punctured the President's lung. And 24 years later, no doubt, somebody in the Secret Service is pulling "ricochet duty." Yet new documents, reported on Monday by Raw Story, reveal at least five days that James D. Guckert, a.k.a. Jeff Gannon, was inside the White House, apparently without the knowledge of the Secret Service.

The following clips, found by ePluribus Media researchers at C-Span and the White House, unmistakably capture Guckert at White House press briefings, asking questions, and being called on by name:


April 15, 2003

But Guckert never entered or exited the White House on these days, according to Secret Service "Access Control Records" released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from Reps. John Conyers (D-MI) and Louise Slaughter (D-NY).

.....

And yet, only the unwavering vigilance of the video age confirms his presence. Writing as "Jeff Gannon" for Talon News -- the red, white and blue Band-Aid artlessly slapped over the "G.O.P." in GOPUSA.com -- Guckert seems to have slipped in through a back door left ajar.

The other option, that somehow the agency responsible for guarding the president can't even keep track of who's coming and going at the White House, is even harder to reconcile.

1. This is such BS! Are we saying that the Secret Service is this

incompetent?

[Warpy]

2. No, we're saying they're irrelevant if the gang wants

to whisk a totally inappropriate person and a huge security risk past them.

C'mon. He's got to have a sugar daddy in there somewhere. Why else would they go to the trouble of running interference with the Secret Service?

[DulceDecorum]

10. Who's yo daddy?

Is there any way we can get hold of Poppy's schedule
and compare Poppy's White House visits with Guckert's?

[Botany]

3. Oh he got let in to more than the White House.

:rofl:

4. Close to 200 day passes...

...come ON! Even the American people aren't THAT gullible. You WANTED him there, NEEDED him there. Why?

5. coming and going coming and going coming and going

that sums up what was going on pretty much

19. Hooboy

Gannon's debut in the national media coincided with the first known published review of his male escort services.
According to an ePluribus Media press release, Guckert first emerged "as conservative pit bull 'Jeff Gannon,"' on Nov. 12, 2002, as author of an article published on ConservativeMonitor.com. This was the same date one of his male escort clients published a "rave review of his services," said Gardner.

Well, well, well, ain't that just handy dandy?
Nice timing.

www.male4malescorts.com is a site I have referred to passionately over the years as being the most important resource for male escorts and their clients online.
this site, which was run by a man only known as "hooboy", was designed as a place for clients of escorts to place reviews of their experiences, and also to allow escorts to post rebuttals if they felt they were unfairly reviewed.
detractors of the site always criticized the fact that there was no way to verify accuracy, but the reality is, hooboy did his best, even phoning reviewers regularly to talk to them to confirm their experience. if someone occasionally wrote a phony review, it usually would come clear soon enough when other clients would come to the defense of their favorite escorts. all in all, in my opinion the site made the world a safer place to see escorts.

Sunday, 16 February 2003
The public prosecutor in Düsseldorf, Germany, ordered Computer Service Langenbach GmbH (CSL), which owns and operates the Joker.com registrar in the same city, to remove the Ogrish.com domain name from its database, Siegfried Langenbach, chief executive officer (CEO), said Wednesday.
<snip>
Ogrish.com has frozen the status of its domain name to block anyone from using or making any changes to it, the Web company said on its site. A legal case against the German government will be necessary to reactivate the domain, it said.
Since Ogrish.com is owned by a U.S. citizen, the First Amendment of free speech applies and thus provides no legal basis to ban the domain name, the Web company said in the statement.
According to Register.com, a Web site that offers hosting and registration services, the owner of Ogrish.com is Dany Klinker, who resides in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
<snip>
The order to ban Ogrish.com is example of the German government "wasting human and financial resources" to ban information that people "are going to find through other ways," Langenbach said.
On Tuesday, Pro Hosters LLC of Sterling, Virginia, hosted Ogrish under the new domain name Ogrish.prohosters.com.
Pro Hosters CEO Ted Hickman and Ogrish founder Klinker are no strangers. Hickman's company was drawn into a controversy earlier last year when his customer Ogrish offered a horrific four-minute video of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl being murdered in Pakistan by a radical Muslim group.

So what DID happen in November 2002
to cause the creation of the conservativehotmilitarystud?
Perhaps the answer lies offshore....

Dan Pero, a founding partner in the newly established Sterling International Consulting Corporation, which recently inked a month-by-month media relations contract with Pakistan, told me he was "excited about the possibilities" and "anxious to tell" Pakistan's story." As Pero sees it, the story is about how a "key ally of the U.S. in the war against terrorism" is moving closer toward democracy.
<snip>
Pero said that Sterling International, an affiliated company of the Sterling Corporation, will receive $50,000 a month in an agreement that began in early September and will be evaluated at the end of November.
According to a short profile posted at the Sterling Corp's website, Pero, a twenty-five year PR/media relations veteran, recently served as the managing director of Weber-Shandwick Worldwide, "the largest public relations company in the world." He previously served as vice-president of public and community affairs for the Eckerd Corporation, one of the largest retail drug store chains in America. Pero's political credentials include stints running former Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander's 1996 Presidential campaign and serving as chief of staff to Michigan Governor John Engler.
The two other Sterling Corp. partners are Fred Wszolek and Lori Wortz, both of whom have worked extensively for Republican Party candidates. In 1997, Wszolek founded Persuasion, Inc., "an issue management, public relations and political consultancy." Wortz, a former partner in Persuasion, Inc. broke into politics by working for Pat Robertson, and later ran Robertson's 1988 presidential campaign in Michigan. She's also worked for the Republican National Committee in several states.

HOUSTON: “Team Barakat” is a public relations company located in a small three-room office which is part of a huge floor with about 40 other offices, mainly of lawyers and some doctors, in building 3010 of Summit Towers, in the center of Houston’s mini-downtown, Galleria.
<snip>
Unbelievable it may seem, but a Texas firm is performing this job for the President of Pakistan but there are no US government officials and congressional members and staff based in Texas, except the few who come to President George W. Bush’s Texas Ranch whenever he is on vacation in his home. Is this company going to lobby for Musharraf at Bush’s ranch?
While there was no sign of the Pakistani President in the Houston office of TB, it is learnt the man behind the firm is an influential Republican Gary Polland, representing his company Polland & Cook. His job description is “to help smooth ties with the US, to end US economic sanctions against Pakistan and bolster trade and debt restructure.”
Polland owns 37.5 percent of TB, a joint venture which was renamed Team Eagle. The contract price is $180,000 which started a year ago and was renewable for another two years. He provides only “advice, recommendations, and meetings with key US policymakers.”
http://www.satribune.com/archives/nov4_10_02/P1_lobbying.htm

Gary's political alliances are widespread from the White House, where he is friends with key Presidential assistants like Karl Rove; cabinet members John Ashcroft, Spencer Abraham, and Dr. Rod Paige; to United States Senators Cornyn, Graham, Hutchison, and Kyl; and to House leaders DeLay and Canter. In Texas, Gary is an important advisor to Governor Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, and Attorney General Greg Abbott. Gary is also a key fundraiser for Republicans and is responsible for raising more than $3.25 million for Republican candidates and causes during the last eight years.
Gary's a committed community and national leader. He has served locally as a member of the Executive Committee of the Community Relations Commission and in January 2004 was the leader of Texas Legislative mission to Israel. Gary also serves on the national boards of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Jewish Policy Center (a conservative Washington, D.C. think tank, along with such conservatives like William Kristol, Michael Medved), the board and the Susan B. Anthony List (a political action committee). Most recently Gary was appointed to be one of the leaders of United Jewish Communities Human Services and Social Policy Pillar.

21. The power of Persuasion, Inc.

Pakistan's President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who took power in a military coup in 1999, was prior to 9/11 a strong supporter of the Taliban and al Qaeda, but has since become indispensable to President Bush's "war on terrorism." Because of this, the administration has overlooked, or preferred to ignore, press accounts that Pakistan abetted Osama bin Laden's escaping the U.S. net in Afghanistan with a number of al Qaeda colleagues -- some of whom may currently reside in Pakistan.

Pero eventually landed as chief of staff for former Gov. John Engler's 1991-1994 term.
Today, Pero counts Engler, as well as Karl Rove, President George Bush's chief political strategist, among his friends. He was the best man in Engler's wedding; his wife was the maid of honor.
When he's not canoodling in politics, Pero has two other loves: his two children, and screen writing. Some of his scripts have been read by Hollywood studios.

Wag the dog?

Mr Bush must be thrilled to bits with the good general's choice of spin-doctors. And what exactly is it that Mr Pero and his band of GOP die-hards are supposed to do for $50,000 a month? According to Mr Pero, his company's job is to tell Pakistan's story of how "a key ally of the US in the war against terrorism" is moving towards democracy. But, of course...
<snip>
A report in the New York Times (October 18), charged Pakistan with being "a major supplier of critical equipment for North Korea's newly-revealed clandestine nuclear weapons programme''. Intelligence officials told the Times that in the late 1990s, in exchange for weapons to help Pakistan "counter India's nuclear arsenal,'' Pakistan supplied "equipment, which may include gas centrifuges used to create weapons-grade uranium''.
It is amusing to note in this context that, according to the The History of PRSA http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/bline/2002/11/25/stories/2002112500160900.htm

It's time to introduce -- customary drum roll, please -- the Rising Stars of Politics 2002....
Fred Wszolek (of the ) Posthumus Leadership Fund.
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2519/is_3_23/ai_85241730

The Posthumus Leadership Fund raised more than $1.1 million during the period from the 2000 election through July 2002. That put it 67% ahead of the pace it set in the 2000 election cycle when it was sixth-richest PAC in Michigan. The PAC changed its name to The Leadership Fund in September 2001, a week before the lieutenant governor officially organized his gubernatorial candidate committee, and through July it has spent $800,000 in the current election cycle.
The Leadership Fund is unique among state PACs in the minute percentage of its expenditures that have been given for direct candidate support. So far in this election cycle, it has reported just one contribution of $500 to a candidate, .063% of its overall spending. It has spent more than $600,000 through five vendors, mostly for payroll and consulting services.
The Leadership Fund’s principal vendors have been fund-raisers Dickerson Govan, $99,000, and Linder & Associates, $93,000; the Sterling Corporation, $233,000; Persuasion, Inc., $22,000; and Access Administration, a payroll processor, $161,000. Sterling’s principal partners are Dan Pero, the “volunteer” campaign chairman of the Posthumus gubernatorial campaign, Fred Wszolek, former communications director for then-Senate Majority Leader Posthumus and Lori Wortz, former chief of staff for then-Senate Majority Leader Posthumus. Wszolek and Wortz were partners in Persuasion, which has been subsumed by Sterling.
Beginning in March 2001, the Posthumus Leadership Fund ramped up to average monthly expenditures of $70,000, peaking in August and September 2001 with almost $200,000 in expenditures, including more than $85,000 in consulting fees paid to Sterling. Subsequent to the official organization of the Posthumus gubernatorial committee, average monthly expenses in the Leadership Fund dipped to $24,000. Mileage reimbursements, which had averaged $1,600 per month in the period from June through September 2001, subsequently fell to $60 per month. Payroll, which had averaged more than $15,000 per month in the six months leading up to the formal organization of the Posthumus gubernatorial committee, subsequently fell to $7,400. Upon establishment of the gubernatorial committee, two employees transferred from the Posthumus Leadership Fund payroll to the gubernatorial committee at the same pay rate without missing a pay period.
Despite the preponderance of circumstantial evidence, there is no proof beyond plausible deniability that Posthumus was running his gubernatorial committee out of his leadership PAC to gain the advantage of hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign spending that would not count against the $2 million limitation. In fact, Mr. Pero categorically denies the notion. And despite the fact that the Posthumus Leadership Fund is physically a tenant of Sterling, Pero has professed to have no knowledge of what consulting services Sterling provided to the PAC. In this case, a comment of Mr. Posthumus’ in the October 7th gubernatorial debate may be appropriate: “If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, well …”
One other Posthumus committee remains an unknown in relation to the current campaign. The Posthumus Civic Fund, a nonprofit incorporated by Posthumus in 1987 (which began doing business as Citizens for Michigan in 1995), may have gone into abeyance. The Internal Revenue Service states that the corporation is in good standing, but apparently no reports have been filed in state since 1997.

Well, it is nice to see a fundie like Lori Wortz who got her start working for Pat Robertson
and a nice AIPAC boy like Gary Polland who hangs out with PNAC,
both striving to make the world a safer place for the transfer of gas centrifuges from Pakistan to North Korea.

May 5, 2004
At a recent US House of Representatives International Relations Committee hearing, Representative Bill Delahunt, a Massachusetts Democrat, cited the March 13 Times article. He focused on Dr Khan's use of Pakistani military planes to supply North Korea with nuclear materials from 1998-2002. John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, was dismissive, stating, "I'm not going to comment on newspaper reports about intelligence assessments, particularly when the newspaper report is wrong."
Delahunt questioned Bolton further as to whether the US has interrogated Khan directly. While Bolton acknowledged that the administration expressed its concerns about Dr Khan's activities to the Pakistani government, he admitted, "We have not asked for access to Mr Khan, nor do we think we should."

6. Tin Foil Time Out

I a sure that y'all have heard of a fella by the name of James Bond.
And I am also sure that y'all know that there are a whole bunch of actors who have played the role of James Bond.
But focus on this bit.

Whenever James Bond had to work with the Americans, he used to get in touch with a Texan by the name of Felix Leiter.
And Felix Leiter ALWAYS has a viable working alias for Bond to slip into.

Think about that for a minute here.

Now we know that the Justice Department can and has given American citizens brand new identities and lives as part of the Witness Protection Program. And we also know that Social Security numbers are absolutely necessary of one is to legally live and work in the US.
And we further know that a glance at an SS number will tell you the state and the year when it was issued.

Now Felix Leiter and Co knew all this, and they also knew that they might just need to have a few photos (and a photo-shop program) ready to go in case someone got to checking the fake identity out.

So I am wondering,
IS THERE REALLY SUCH A THING AS A JAMES DALE GUCKERT?
Or is it just a shell identity that can be used by any person with a certain clearance?

We now return you to reality.

[DulceDecorum]

8. SS number for show only.

Ryan Allen who was a 19 year old kid from Kansas in 2004.
On April 10, Allen was trying to buy a car at Van Chevrolet in Kansas City. When the dealership checked his credit, Allen’s Social Security number came up as being that of Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, whom federal authorities have called a senior al-Qaida operative.
Al-Shibh is on the list of "blocked persons" that is maintained by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, which orders U.S. banks to block assets of suspected terrorist financiers and enforces economic sanctions against some countries and against suspected drug overlords.
The connection prompted the dealership to call police, which called the FBI, which said it did not have a high priority because al-Shibh was arrested two years ago in Pakistan, Allen said.
The car dealership said it could not sell Allen a car because his Social Security number was on the list.
http://www.showmenews.com/2004/Apr/20040422News025.asp
In order to even QUALIFY for Social Security number a foreigner must first legally enter the US and then present their paperwork to the SSA. Ramzi never entered the US. Therefore, in order for that number to have been issued to Ramzi, then Ramzi must have had a benefactor who is as influential as the person who got JeffJames into the White House.
The case of Ramzi is NOT one of stolen identity.
The number was identified as being that of Ramzi.
We have no idea where Ryan Allen fits into any of this, especially since SS numbers are NEVER recyled.

Mohammed Atta is said to have entered the US TWICE on the same day, January 10, 2001.
There does not appear to be any record of him having LEFT the US on that same day.
That was not the only time that Atta pulled a Gannon.

It was a little story about how the terrorists were right under our nose and blah,blah we let them get away.
But what really cought my eye was the photograph of Mohhamed Attas drivers license. I was reading the home address on the license and than i noticed the expiration date of his drivers License. EXP-9/11/01
I couldnt believe it. Is this some kind of joke? And the date it was issued was 9/10/99..
This is some amazing coincidence. I though drivers licenses usually expire on peopls birthdays? And they never expire only 2 years after they are issued. What do you guys make of this?

11. Gannon

I'll buy that Gannon could be a plant. But what assignment would entail that he spend so much time at the WH? And all that shilling? Hard to think that he might be working for the Dems. Or any foreign government, for that matter. Gannon could have been bribing someone there to become a legitimate reporter, but why all the extra-curricular activities in the WH when no press briefings were scheduled? Just doesn't make sense. I think that's why most people continue to believe that he was having an affair in the WH.

[DulceDecorum]

13. We do not yet know

how come he was allowed in all those times.
But we DO know that the Republicans and the Secret Service
do NOT consider GannonGuckert to be a threat to the Bush Maladministration.
This latter fact is very curious.
They know something we don't.

The way I understand it, there are many many hospitals that have closed wards. These wards do not appear on any directory but the local fire station is very much aware of their existence.
These closed wards are reserved for celebrities.
The elevators are different from the regular ones and are not easily located or are "locked."
The patient is given an alias, such that Greta Garbo is listed as Isabel Scott, should anyone come asking. Isabel Scott is the name of any and all celebrity females who are admitted for, lets say, drug overdoses. Therefore, Isabel Scott of August 2002 is probably not the same Isabel Scott from May 2004, but then again, who knows?

In the case of Ryan Allen, the SS-number he produced had previously been used by Ramzi bin al-Shib, who was now on a watch-list. Neither Ryan nor Ramzi were questioned by the authorities who were instantly able to ID that particular SS-number. The authorities did not seem at all interested in the case and this in itself is most curious.

In the same way, a hospital, upon being informed that Isabella Scott in Bed 5A:Ward 3, could not understand why the governor kept calling about her health, would shrug off the problem without explanation other than to say that confidentiality had not been breached.

GannonGuckert is being protected.
Why, we do not yet know.
But we will. Soon.

7. List of Press Briefings that Gannon did not attend

Actually, perhaps I should qualify that headline.
The list below is a list of the Press Briefings that took place on days that Gannon was not recorded by the Secret Service as being in the White House.
There are days upon which there WERE Press Briefings
and Gannon DID enter the White House -- but at a different time from the Press Briefing.
Those days are not on this list.
**********

As far as we have been able to determine,
Jeff Gannon first published an article on January 15, 2003.

We have also been given to understand that he resigned from GOPUSA/Talon News on February 9, 2005.
http://mediamatters.org/items/200502090010

This is a list (and I am 90% certain that it is correct)
of the days upon which there was a White House Press Briefing that Jeff Gannon did not attend.

12. Why blame the Secret Service?

Why not assume that the best known prostitute on the planet was sleeping over, and thus did not have to enter or leave, and thus did not have to check in and out with the Service?

I'm not joking here. Isn't this the obvious conclusion? Or do people actually believe that the records are kept this sloppily?

He's turning tricks in the Lincoln Bedroom. That's what he does for a living. It's not complicated.

[DulceDecorum]

14. How do you leave TWICE in a row

without checking in?

And how do you get filmed in a Press Briefing
on a day that you neither entered nor departed?

The Secret Service was keeping THEIR logs, as they are supposed to.
But something else was, AND IS, going on.....

[BuyingThyme]

15. The second question is easy to answer.

He simply stays over.

The first question is more difficult. Perhaps there's a completely different credentialing process for prostitutes.

[ewagner]

20. There's a good reason

to "blame" the Secret Service.

They need to be forced to defend their incompetency or deny it. If they are incompetent, then Bush and his whole "Homeland Security" Scam is exposed as a joke because they aren't even protecting the White House, much less the rest of the country.....

If they say they knew EXACTLY where Gannon/Guckert was, ... well now, we have a scandal don't we....

[Doctor_J]

17. Rove or Snotty?

which one was he servicing?

[iconoclastNYC]

22. Could be both

Nothing says it has to be one or the other, could be both....different scenarios come to mind.
