Extreme misuse of power - and you know you're a threat when...

I've written about David Howe, aka HRH Prince David of the Isle of Man, before. Both on this blog and on my old one that seemed to just disappear overnight without any explanation after I posted questions about open air radiation experiments from the 1950's that took place in towns across the country. (More on that in another posting.) I really find the story of Prince David of Mann to be fascinating and not just because it is a "King Ralph" type story of true life imitating fiction either. But, there seems to be another story underneath the interesting public one that reveals a somewhat surreptitious campaign to smear David Howe's character and it is/was being done by people working under the cover of a front for the intelligence community.

You might say, "Stan you have really lost it this time." Maybe, but stick with me for a moment on this. First, as anyone who reads me regularly already knows, the single largest fear that the power-elite of government has is the unforeseen threat to their power. It is the wild card factor that intel agencies are tasked with. As is with the CIA, British intelligence also has the best and brightest to game theory all possible "out of left field" threats. As these foul balls pop up various COINTELPRO operations are launched to deal with these power threats. That is the most basic way the power-elite maintain their power.

So, you might be asking how does the real King Ralph, HRH Prince David, David Howe factor as a threat? A monarch of a small Island? I'll grant you that he didn't knowingly enter into his role as the titular King of the Isle of Man with the idea he was a threat. I doubt he knew what he was in for, honestly. I'm not saying that he is stupid but I suspect that even an average person of average intelligence wouldn't be prepared for the reality of his situation.

The Isle of Man is the British government's own private offshore banking center. The dirty income the British Crown generates from operations like the old British East India Trading Company -- running opium to the Chinese and enslaving India -- that money has to be put somewhere safe and private. For example, bag men running out of Buckingham Palace with loads of dope money generated from the co-opted poppy fields of Afghanistan can't simply make a direct deposit with the Bank of London. No, they have to wash that money first. This is what offshore banking is for.

Now, imagine, this story of a de jure titular King coming to the surface. David Howe, the long lost heir to the monarchy of the Isle of Man. In reality he might come across as no real threat to the government but if enough buzz is generated it might cause legitimate depositors to think that the Island isn't politically secure. Lack of security equals massive withdraws and the end of the British money laundering operations. There is no way that a "yank" can simply be promoted as the King without getting hammered.

Following the various news articles, blogs and forums written about David Howe becoming His Royal Highness the King of the Isle of Man, I found all the tell-tale signs of a classic COINTELPRO operation being run against him. Perhaps the most obvious and frequent postings tell the story the best. These postings launched by 3 to 5 members of a newsgroup forum led to the development of a website that Howe became the subject of. All designed to discredit him and attack his reputation. The claimed author, operating from England, works for one Price Waterhouse. Need I say more?!

Most know that I used to work with Johathan Kwitny, "The Crimes Of Patriots", famed author. Of course in "Crimes," most people learned in detail how Price Watherhouse, while perhaps not itself a complete front for the CIA, is devoted to keeping the books for numerous CIA and British Intel fronts. For a more complete listing of CIA fronts see this link.

So by now you are asking, what does it all mean? "Come on Stan, why would anyone care?" "Stan you don't even remember where your keys are and your family won't let you have the remote control." Yes this may be true but I took some interesting facts from an article written by Mike DiCicco of the Connection Newspaper that quotes Stuart Peters, host of the highest rated radio talk show in the Isle of Man, as saying that he believes there could be a place for HRH Prince David Howe as the constitutional head of state. Peters also said, "The government here is very keen to keep a clean image as a reputable offshore finance center," and there is a fear that Howe would abuse his authority. I agree with Stuart Peters on this too. At least on the part that Prince David Howe is feared. He might just be keen on making the Isle of Man a place where drug money can't be easily laundered. Something that the Brit power-elite and their Intel wing have been historically against.

Mike Connell was warned not to fly before plane crash

December 22, 2008

WMR has learned from knowledgeable sources in Ohio that Republican Party computer networking guru Mike Connell was warned not to fly in anonymous warnings conveyed to principals in the ongoing federal civil lawsuit of King Lincoln Bronzeville Neighborhood Association v. Blackwell, stemming from GOP-engineered vote fraud in the 2004 Ohio presidential election, as well as a potential Ohio racketeer-influenced criminal organization (RICO) criminal proceeding against former Bush White House aide Karl Rove and Blackwell, in the conspiracy to illegally steer Ohio’s 20 electoral votes to the Bush column in 2004.

Connell’s Piper Saratoga single-engine plane crashed during the evening of December 19 in Uniontown, Ohio, as it was preparing to land at Akron-Canton airport. There were no other passengers and Connell was killed in the crash. Connell had flown to College Park, Maryland, the previous day. Connell, who lived in Akron with his wife Heather and four children, often flew to Washington for activities related to his IT businesses.

Connell’s name surfaced as a key player in Rove’s election fraud conspiracy after this year’s July 17 Columbus news conference hosted by Cliff Arnebeck, the Ohio attorney who has been representing plaintiffs in the federal civil suit against former Republican Secretay of State J. Kenneth Blackwell. On the phone at the conference was John McCain campaign adviser and computer security specialist Stephen Spoonamore who identified Connell as a key player, as well as potential trial witness, in the GOP’s conspiracy to flip Ohio votes in the 2004 election.

Spoonamore and Connell had reportedly worked together on foreign elections in programs sponsored by the International Republican Institute (ISI) and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Both had traveled abroad together on special election projects to ensure “fair voting” procedures.

For the first time, WMR has learned that the GOP vote flipping conspiracy was in place earlier than the November 2004 general election and was used to deny votes to Democratic candidates John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich in the March 2, 2004, Democratic primary. John Kerry won the primary with 52 percent of the vote to 34 percent for Edwards and 9 percent for Kucinich.

After Connell was identified as a potential witness in the civil case against Blackwell and a possible criminal Ohio RICO case against Rove, Blackwell, and perhaps others, the plaintiff attorneys received a tip from a high-level source in the McCain presidential campaign that Rove had issued a threat against Connell. Connell had worked for the 2008 McCain presidential campaign on the development of its web pages.

WMR has learned from our Ohio sources that five threats against Connell were conveyed to the election fraud plaintiff attorneys with the last tip being “Connell is in danger.” One of the threats reportedly made by Rove to Connell was that Connell could forget about a pardon from President George W. Bush if he did not “take the fall” in the event criminal charges were brought and that his wife Heather, who was used as a majority stockholder for one of Connell’s web design companies, GovTech Solutions, would be prosecuted for illegal lobbying. Connell’s other company is New Media Communications, Inc.

We have also learned that one additional tip was relayed to Connell’s wife and it was to the effect that Connell “was in danger and he should not fly his plane.”

Connell’s firms received contracts to place its servers behind the House of Representatives firewall courtesy of then-House Administration Committee Chairman Bob Ney (R-OH), later jailed for his role in the Jack Abramoff lobbying-influence peddling scandal. Connell also designed and ran the web sites for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Judiciary Committee. WMR has learned that through effective GOP control of these web sites, the Bush White House was able to monitor all committee e-mails and documents, including planning documents for House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearings against Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

We have also learned that Connell’s IT firm did classified web site development work for the CIA.
Based on the threats against Connell, the federal judge hearing the civil suit King Lincoln v. Blackwell, conveyed to Connell that the court would protect him if he came forward. On October 17, 2008, Connell’s attorneys attempted to quash an October 8, 2008, plaintiff subpoena for his court appearance. On October 31, U.S. Judge Solomon Oliver denied the motion to quash the subpoena and ordered Connell’s deposition to proceed on November 3, the day before Election Day. WMR has learned that on Friday, October 31, Connell was nervous and “beet red” during the hearing to quash the subpoena. On Monday, November 3, Connell was composed and it is believed that his top shelf law firm had been selected by Rove to represent Connell for the deposition. Rove’s intent was to ensure that there would be no deposition from Connell before the November 4 election.

WMR has also learned that Connell was prepared to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about the election fraud in Ohio and other states but that the offer of testimony was not acted upon senior staffers for House Judiciary Committee Rep. John Conyers (D-MI). A source in Columbus told us that some of Conyers’ senior staffers on his committee and in is office are not to be trusted on issues related to election fraud.

In addition, Rove and the Bush White House attempted to forestall testimony by election officials in Mahoning County and Youngstown, Ohio, on election fraud in 2004 by promising to have former Rep. James Traficant (D-OH), who is currently imprisoned after being convicted of corruption, released early in return for their silence. Traficant is not scheduled for release from federal prison until Sept, 2, 2009.

The "Change" we aren't getting

SHARON OTTERMAN
The New York Times
December 18, 2008

Pledging to create “a 21st century regulatory framework” to protect against future financial crises, President-elect Barack Obama on Thursday nominated three veteran financial regulators to top economic positions in his administration.

“We will crack down on this culture of greed and scheming that has led us to this day of reckoning,” Mr. Obama said in announcing the appointments at a news conference in Chicago. “We have been asleep at the switch.”

Mr. Obama named Mary L. Schapiro, 53, to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, which has come under sharp criticism for its failure to detect signs that major Wall Street banks were in trouble before the financial crisis, as well as lax oversight of the New York financier Bernard Madoff, who the authorities say has confessed to running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme.

The Madoff scandal, Mr. Obama said, “reminds us yet again how badly reform is needed when it comes to regulations that govern our markets.”

An American Royal in London err Brit Isles

Last December I saw an interesting story about HRH Prince David Howe of the Isle of Man. The story is that David Howe, a businessman from Maryland, discovered his royal roots when genealogists from London -- working with Prince David supporters, contacted David Howe to tell him he was the heir to the ancient kingdom of the Isle of Man.

In addition to being the Isle of Man Crown Prince, David Howe is also a cousin of the Windsors and HM Queen Elizabeth II, the official head of state for the Isle of Man. As a result, David Howe's early supporters sent a petition to the Queen on his behalf. Soon after, HRH Prince David was crowned the de jure King of the Isle of Man.

Kind of like winning the lottery, Eh -- Long Live the King!

Interview from Fox News.
