Podcast Notes: EPISODE 5 of 9/11 SYNCHRONICITY released: August 19th 2006

Welcome to 9/11 Synchronicity, the podcast designed to strike accord in the public mind and inspire the American People to exercise their rights and take meaningful action in the search for the Truth behind the events of September 11th, 2001.

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening to you, whenever you may be listening or re-listening to this transmission. Today’s program was released by the 8thestate Archives on August 19, 2006 and it is titled: Episode 5: Giuliani Bank Fraud and how Drugs Fund Wars

Thank you for Tuning-In, you’re participating in 9/11 Synchronicity, I am your host, Richard Grove and you can find additional information on this podcast as well as documentation of topics we discuss herein, by visiting 8 the state dot com and 911 Synchronicity dot com.

This episode is going to take you deep into the dark alliances of the connections between the Global Drug Trade and the Intelligence Agencies that are funded by our taxdollars. I thought that since I’ve done 4 interviews myself this week, that instead of just doing the usual that we’d try something unusual. Today’s guest is coming live from outside of this reality, his voice echoing through the internet like a Ghost in the Machine. While you may or may not be familiar with his story, it’s one that touches all of us in many different ways; and I’ve brought him here so that you could learn first hand, from the man himself.

The interviews I did earlier this week, 3 on TNRLive with Mike Chambers, and one with Meria Heller (which last time I checked was the podcast download on her homepage, Meria.net) and there is some really intersting discussions, for those of you who enjoyed Ty Rauber’s first appearance last week, we continued that session on TNRLive, and the other show was on suppressed history tracing the origins of the drug trade, US Intelligence, and secret societies. The Meria interview discussed everything from this podcast to Warren Buffet’s involvement in 9/11 and beyond; all of these interviews will be posted to 8 the state dot com. There’s also about 20 new videos spread throughout the sites, under Multimedia and Unlocking Symbolism; our way of keeping your homework as interesting and robust as possible. Once we get the resources, we’re planning on offering “pathways to understanding” which will allow people at various levels to have access to information specific to their point on their journey; with the ability to zoom in to find the details below the surface. Speaking of resources,

I’d like to once again thank Antoinette in Southern California, Adam in Canada whose lucky streak has progressed the film “Blowing the Whistle” which will be the prototype release by 8thestate Media, and I’d also like to say hello to our new listeners. I’ve had the question several times in the past week, which goes something like this: “I’m new to this line of study, could you recommend a site where I could get my feet wet without being in over my head?” The two sites that I usually reference these days are Truth 911 dot net and 911 blogger dot com. Truth911.net is a very simple and accurate offering of some of the more thought provoking anomalies of 911, and is formatted specifically for people who are just waking up- it’s a great tool and reference site for those people you bump into throughout the day… it’s short, sweet, and to the point; and it’s run by a student in Vancouver who’s heart, mind, and soul are in the right place. For people who want more information, 911 Blogger and 911 Podcasts dot com offer the most diverse selection of 9/11 related news, presentations, and music. Both of these sites are very user friendly, objective, and easy grow on, so next time someone asks you- you’ll have a well thought out answer to help them see the writing on the wall.

Speaking of writing on the wall, I’ve also fielded a lot of questions this week on what books are good to build out our understandings of history… a few of my favorites are:

1. Fleshing out Skull and Bones by Kris Millegan
2. Lost history by Robert Parry
3. Global Networks by Mark Lombardi
4. Dark Alliance by Gary Webb
5. The Crime and Punishment of IG Farben
6. The Old Boys: The American Elite and the Origins of US Intelligence
7. Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley
8. Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of Revolutionary Faith by James H Billington

I’ve listed a few others as well, with links to Amazon dot com to get you started… remember, you can save a lot of money by buying used… and many times you’re helping someone like yourself.

I’ve booked investigative author Jerry Mazza for the Katrina Anniversary show, his article last year titled “Tale of Two Cities” dealing with New York and New Orleans and the hypocrisy of it all will let us all see how far we’ve progressed, or maybe the contrary… anyway, make a note to peruse a few of his articles and forward your questions to me so that you can hear what the man has to say… he’s one of the last in a dying breed of journalists still asking the tough questions and making astute observations that we can all relate to.

In a few moments I’ll be reading Jerry Mazza’s Latest article: “Rudy Giuliani opens his own Bank” which is found on Jerry’s page at 8 the state dot com, but first I’d like to state that today’s music by Immortal Technique is the contemporary reflection of a much older problem, and I think that his work is appropriate for the discussion once again. You heard “Peruvian Cocaine” and the song we’ll play later is called “The Fourth Branch”. There are also video versions of some of today’s music, along with the additional Gary Webb mp3s for this Episode… all avail on 9/11 Synchronicity.

If you take the time to listen to the other interviews I’ve done this week, you’ll get the backstory on the role that drugs and drug money played in 9/11; but even if you haven’t what you’re about to hear throughout this podcast is a story which needs to be told, and told, and told, until it reaches enough people to end the Hypocrisy. We’re all out there making waves, this is just one of mine; maybe someday the wave will reach critical mass, We the People, will realize that Our Government will never tell us the truth, as long as we’re paying it to Lie, Murder, Cheat, and Steal the lives of others… in our name. The only war we should fund, is the War on Hypocrisy.

Now we’re going to get into the part where we fill in the blanks and replace the history which helps us better understand how the war on drugs and the war on terror are just two sides of the same tyrannical coin.

In August of 1996, the San Jose Mercury News published Webb’s “Dark Alliance”, a 20,000 word, three-part investigative series which alleged that Nicaraguan drug traffickers had sold and distributed crack cocaine in Los Angeles during the 1980s, and that drug profits were used to fund the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras.
• On December 10, 1996, Los Angeles County Sheriff Sherman Block announced the conclusion of his investigation into the issue, publishing a summary of the investigation at a press conference. He announced at the press conference that the inquiry had cleared the CIA of involvement in cocaine trafficking to Los Angeles: “We have found no evidence that the government was involved in drug trafficking in South-Central.” Nevertheless, the report included information that supported some of the charges. On October 8, 1998, CIA I.G. Hitz published Volume Two of his internal investigation. The report described how the Reagan-Bush administration had protected more than 50 contras and other drug traffickers, and by so doing, deliberately thwarted federal investigations into drug crimes. Hitz published evidence that drug trafficking and money laundering had made its way into Reagan’s National Security Council where Oliver North oversaw the operations of the contras[citation needed].

After leaving San Jose Mercury News Webb went to work for the California Assembly Speaker’s Office of Member Services and served as a consultant to the California State legislature Task Force on Government Oversight. As a member of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, Webb investigated charges that the Oracle Corporation received a no-bid contract award of $95 million in 2001 from former California Governor Gray Davis. Webb was hired by the Sacramento News and Review, after being laid off in 2003 with the rest of the former Speaker’s staff as part of a house-cleaning when the new House speaker took over.
On December 10, 2004, he was found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head. Sacramento County coroner Robert Lyons determined that it was suicide. Webb’s ex-wife, Sue Bell, said that Webb had been depressed for some time over his inability to get a job at another major newspaper. [8]

Well that brings us to that point once again, where you and I go on our separate ways for the next week; but think about making the time to listen to some of the other conversations and relations of suppressed information that I’ve archived for your convenience, under Interviews, at 8thestate.com but that’s only for those who want to better under-stand the suppressed details of the world we’re all living in… Next week’s guest will be Quantum Physicist, Fred Alan Wolf, so check out the Episode 006 folder on 911 Synchronicity dot com, and he appears in the film “What the Bleep to We Know?” Dr. Wolf has some pretty thought provoking notions… all good prepration for our tour next week. Thank you for choosing to Tune in, and for not dropping out. Here’s a message from Gary Webb, complete with Video on 911 Synchronicity.com… Gary’s work still moves minds; and we’re all still listening… you can kill the man, but you can’t kill the truth… and Gary would want you all to know that.
