• WayneMadsenReport June 3-4, 2010 -- Blackmail: Et tu Joe?      ....   Vice President Joe Biden has come to the defense of Israel claming the Zionist state had the right to board the Gaza-bound peace flotilla ships while in international waters. Biden said on the "Charlie Rise Show," "I think Israel has an absolute right to deal with its security interest."      ...    Biden's ardent support for Israel at a time when almost every nation on the planet has condemned the barbaric Israeli actions in murdering peace activists, some at point blank range, may not be so odd when considering that like President Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Biden may have his own sexual blackmail problems.     ...    On August 23, 2008, WMR reported: "Now that Biden is Obama's Veep pick, there is another nagging issue for Biden. After it was learned that Jeff Gannon, also known as James Guckert and originally from, it should be noted, Wilmington, Delaware, was not only attending White House press conferences but also ran a gay escort service, Biden went on Bill Maher's "Real Time" and said, "The bottom line is it that why is it that every major network in the country is investigating a security breach . . . and no one had any idea who this guy was? Forgetting everything else, assume he went in there and he was a saint, how could that be? The Judiciary Committee of Senate should be investigating. The House Judiciary Committee should be investigating it and if it were the other party in charge, it would be investigated."     ...    Biden's angst over Gannon/Guckert was odd, especially on national TV. There was a curious item in "The Hotline" from May 3, 2005, regarding an interview Gannon gave to Vanity Fair. "Gannon 'appears to have met Karl Rove only once'; for all 'his purported inside ties, he broke almost no stories.' He 'scarcely' knew Ari Fleischer, and 'apart from sending Scott McClellan a card when he got married, had little personal contact with him.' Nor did 'he have some sort of extra-curricular relationship' with Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), 'though he'd suggested as much on his Web site.'"     ...     Gannon has mentioned to this editor that he has known Biden for a number of years going back to Gannon's days in Wilmington. Are there additional skeletons in Biden's closet?" Gannon said that then-Senator Biden often went out of his way to say hello to him when he saw him in the Senate. There was a clear indication that Gannon had a prior relationship with Biden in Wilmington.  
• For the Record "Wolfgang Bohringer, a German pilot, identified by Atta’s one-time girlfriend Amanda Keller as one of Mohamed Atta’s closest associates in Florida during the run-up to the 9.11 attack, and one of the handful of people the terrorist ringleader called “my brother,” recently resurfaced on a tiny island in the South Pacific, in the Republic of Kiribati."
• The Madame Debra Palfrey also operated a branch of her "high priced escort service" out of Miami and Sarasota Florida (not to get into too much here, but if you are interested, look into the Abramoff /SunCruz / Atta connection and Atta's girlfriend Amanda Keller at the time) but back to Spitzer - he was investigating the illegal trading going on with AIG and the insurance profits made on the shorted 9/11 stocks. The escort service was involved in money laundering and probably the blackmailing of those who dared to "learn too much"
• Free Market News "It is reported that Jack Abramoff operated a 'sex ring' out of several DC hotels, providing male and female prostitutes, some underage, to leading politicians. Overtly a part of his lobbying activity, reports are that these politicians were later subject to blackmail with photos/videos of their trysts, and that THIS may have been the real secret of Abramoff's success. Now add to this blackmail system the links between Abramoff and the Bush War Machine via Abramoff's secretary in Karl Rove's Office, and Abramoff's links to 9-11, via Mohamed Atta as regular guest on Abramoff's casino ship, and Abramoff start to emerge as the center player in a plot to trick the US into war in the Mideast and to prevent Congress from doing anything about it." 
• It was at Shuckum's, on Sept. 8, 2001 that Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi did some pre-mass murder tippling," reported TIME. "Atta drank vodka and orange juice, while Al-Shehhi preferred rum and cokes, five drinks apiece." .. FBI Agents had shown up at Shuckum's just 12 hours after the attack, reported all three major networks. The agents showed employees—especially manager Tony Amos and bartender Patricia Idrissi—photos of two men. ... "We were able to recognize both gentlemen," Amos told reporters. He identified a man in a photo bearing the name Mohamed underneath, who, along with two other men, had each consumed at least several drinks.
• Think Progress "Gannon blogs at the National Press Club’s website.Filed Under: Media By Amanda on Jun 17th, 2008 at 3:51 pm Jeff Gannon blogs at the National Press Club’s website.» Poblano at DailyKos notes that disgraced “reporter” Jeff Gannon is blogging at the National Press Club (NPC). Gannon gained notoriety as the former male escort who, for two years, gained a White House press pass using a pseudonym. There appear to be seven active blogs on the NPC’s site, including Gannon’s. Steve O’Hearn, chairman of the NPC’s new media committee — of which Gannon is also a member — told ThinkProgress that the “current policy” is that any NPC member can have a blog on the organization’s site, although it’s so far mostly members of the committee. Gannon’s most recent post goes after CodePink and its “ties to terrorists and repressive regimes around the world.”
• WMR The U.S. government's bail out of insurance giant American International Group (AIG) comes as no surprise to intelligence community insiders. In fact, AIG has been at the center of a number of CIA operations for decades. The federal government's $85 billion "bridge" loan to AIG essentially makes the United States government an 80 percent stakeholder in AIG, a move that will prevent external players from peering into AIG's myriad intelligence operations on behalf of the CIA, according to an insider who has followed AIG's overseas operations for a number of years.  ...   The CIA's analysts who concentrate on Asia have also enjoyed routine access to a huge AIG database maintained in San Francisco. AIG's new building in Hong Kong was intended to be a major outpost for CIA agents assigned the China "beat."

• CBS News "Tired and timid are two adjectives never applied to Rove. The architect of the Bush victories in 2000 and 2004 came through the ranks of college Republicans with the late Lee Atwater, and their admitted and alleged dirty tricks are the legends many young political operatives dream of pulling off. So when Jeff Gannon, White House "reporter" for Talon "News," was unmasked last week, the leap to a possible Rove connection was unavoidable. Gannon says that he met Rove only once, at a White House Christmas party, and Gannon is kind of small potatoes for Rove at this point in his career.  But Rove's dominance of White House and Republican politics, Gannon's aggressively partisan work and the ease with which he got day passes for the White House press room the past two years make it hard to believe that he wasn't at least implicitly sanctioned by the "boy genius." Rove, who rarely gave on-the-record interviews to the MSM (mainstream media), had time to talk to GOPUSA, which owns Talon.  GOPUSA and Talon are both owned by Bobby Eberle, a Texas Republican and business associate of conservative direct-mail guru Bruce Eberle who says that Bobby is from the "Texas branch of the Eberle clan." Bobby Eberle told The New York Times that he created Talon to build a news service with a conservative slant and "if someone were to see 'GOPUSA,' there's an instant built-in bias there." No kidding.

• The Law Party "Cable television news reports have recently linked an alleged male prostitute to the present White House since George W. Bush permitted James Guckert to use an unprecedented Secret Service-approved alias (Jeff Gannon) while having access to the White House for two years as a pool reporter serving the younger Bush--before which Gannon had advertised himself on internet pornography sites as a male "escort" charging $200 an hour. [Gannon is the subject of independent news reports which have referred to him as the former kidnapped Des Moines, Iowa paperboy Johnny Gosch--forced into child sex-slavery.] John DeCamp told this writer "I believe Johnny Gosch and Jeff Gannon are one and the same person--but I am not in a position to know positively." ""George W. Bush has not explained how Guckert/Gannon --who had advertised himself as a male escort--could apparently operate in the White House as a reporter for two years using a Secret Service-approved alias and regularly be called upon by George W. Bush and press secretary Scott McClellan during nationally televised presidential press conferences."

• RawStory "Guckert made more than two dozen excursions to the White House when there were no scheduled briefings. On many of these days, the Press Office held press gaggles aboard Air Force One—which raises questions about what Guckert was doing at the White House. On other days, the president held photo opportunities.  On at least fourteen occasions, Secret Service records show either the entry or exit time missing. Generally, the existing entry or exit times correlate with press conferences; on most of these days, the records show that Guckert checked in but was never processed out.  In March, 2003, Guckert left the White House twice on days he had never checked in with the Secret Service. Over the next 22 months, Guckert failed to check out with the Service on fourteen days. On several of these visits, Guckert either entered or exited by a different entry/exit point than his usual one. On one of these days, no briefing was held; on another, he checked in twice but failed to check out."

• Sourcewatch ""Jeff Gannon" is the pseudonym used by James Dale Guckert , unmasked in February 2005 by John Aravosis's AMERICAblog.org Blogspot and Media Matters for America, a liberal watchdog group based in Washington, DC, to be a fake White House "correspondent" working for the pseudo news organization Talon News, which is closely tied to GOPUSA, a right-wing site owned by a Texas-based Republican activist.  Gannon had access to the White House and was admitted to the White House press briefing room on day press passes for almost two years. He was recognized for editorializing before asking "softball" questions of the White House press staff and, even on occasion, of President George W. Bush, to break up lines of aggressive questioning by legitimate reporters, thereby assisting the staff in controlling press conferences    and   .... had a career as a $200-an-hour escort [2].

And while Gannon's true identity still can't be confirmed, Rothstein says the more clues he uncovers, the possibility Gannon may be Gosch increases, "When you look into the whole abduction of Johnny, what happened, the cover-up that took place, the way the kidnapping was done, this was a professional job and it fits the profile that I have seen over the years as a professional investigator."

• WayneMadsenReport / Online Journal  "Except for the outbreak of news stories concerning the Franklin Credit Union-Lawrence King-Craig Spence child prostitution scandal in 1989 that involved midnight tours of the White House for underage male sex slaves from Nebraska and reached high into the upper echelons of the elder Bush administration, little has been heard about the sex crimes of top Republicans. That is, until it was revealed that "Jeff Gannon" was intricately tied to GOP operatives ranging from George W. Bush political "Svengali" Karl Rove, to White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, and Texas GOP provocateur Bobby Eberle. In typical Bush scandal fashion, Eberle's "Talon News Service" has disappeared as fast as Jeff Gannon from the James Brady Briefing Room and Doug Wead's secret tapes of Bush from the public ear—tapes that, at the very least, indicated Bush's prior use of marijuana, cocaine, and LSD."

• Gannon's White House press briefing question: "Senate Democratic leaders have painted a very bleak picture of the US economy," Gannon said. "[Minority Leader] Harry Reid was talking about soup lines, and Hillary Clinton was talking about the economy being on the verge of collapse. Yet, in the same breath, they say that Social Security is rock solid and there's no crisis there. How are you going to work -- you said you're going to reach out to these people -- how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?"

Some are substance abusers, some are juvenile offenders, others are homeless by choice or circumstance"  Reminded me of Boys Town in the Franklin scandal. Oliver North and Brit Hume are also on the Board of YTF." DemocraticUnderground
