Lots of things happened in this 1985 span and consider this - the Walker
Spies selling secrets to KGB and operating through a KKK and KGB knew
all the rituals blaming KKK for their acts of violence and sending
phoney messages and so incompetent - they all got caught.
But another spy was caught as I recall - Jonathan Polllard who sold
secrets to Mossad, and was then made Israelie citizen...later he said to
be American and Israelie is like loving two women, and one cannot do
that.....so this might be reason to question of Joe Lieberman is dual
citizen - however, Lieberman above all does not want Pollard released
from prison from past records.
This in 1985 Olaf Palme was murdered - and the lady Mrs. Ghandi from
India - on my floor I have this white leopard rug killed in a garden in
India - beautiful - killed by a house boy, but Tigers seem to be biggest
fear in past to be killed by the tigers.......she was killed as i
recall, in a garden.
Crack cocaine in 1985 was moving up fast and major drug routes being
established by you know who - Mafia, Mossad, CIA......in Columbus we had
attorney murdered connected to Robin Moore- this man I met, for Moore
sent him to my office - to do with my MI6 friend.
Drugs was making big time scenario then - big time drugs......
Olaf Palme - a very interesting subject and as they say in India - May
Your House Be Safe From Tigers.....go that book, and what this means,
May Your House Be Safe From Tigers, is absolutely nothing I found out.
So 1985 was a good year for some, but a bd year for a young attorney who
had good contacts - Robin Moore had written the French Connection but a
man in black chased this young man from a cemetary and killed him....at
this time Larry Flynt and DeLorean were around and of couse, Delorean
got busted on cocaine which he said was as good as gold.
So what type of a scenario is this? Drug routes, Mafia, murder, same
old stuff.....

This is interesting item and worth a read for it might add something
Kelly wanted.
I remember 1985 - Sikhs want to return to their Golden Temple and this
one on OSU campus toldl me, they would return 600,000 strong....to date
they have not and I have not followed the Golden Temples or Falling
Domes or Towers of Bable lately....the Rock of the Dome might be in
trouble for this is going to be one interesting year as we head to the
millenium.
Think I will hang a red cord on my mailbox - just for luck. For
everything always comes up guns and roses and now drugs ....... Olaf,
what were you really? Like to know more of him myself......and bring
on the Mau MAU>
Beyond the Tigers - Tracking the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination by Rajiv
Sharma
Reviewed by Gayatri Ramanathan
as it the late Sri Lankan president Ranasinghe Premadasa who was the
hidden hand behind the gruesome murder of Rajiv Gandhi and or was it
financed by a lobby of arms dealers who stood to lose out if Rajiv came
back to power? Was there a connection between the assassinations of
Rajiv Gandhi and that of the Swedish Premier Olaf Palme, both involved
in the Bofors gun deal cover up? Were the security lapses that became
evident during the investigation of the case deliberate?
These are some of the questions that have dogged both the investigators
and the journalists who have followed the Rajiv Gandhi murder case.
Neither the Verma Commission of Inquiry, which investigated the security
aspect of the case, nor the Jain Commission which looked into the
conspiracy angle, came up with satisfactory answers.
In a new book, Beyond the Tigers, journalist Rajiv Sharma takes the case
a little further and probes into several of these questions plus a few
others hitherto untouched by either of the commissions or by others
covering the case. The book brings together several factors to create
the picture of a widespread international conspiracy involving the LTTE,
the Sri Lankans, arms dealers like Adnan Khashoggi and Chandraswami and
to bump off the Indian leader who looked set on a come back trail.
The picture that emerges from Sharma's book suggests that the Rajiv
assassination was part of a series beginning with the mysterious murder
of the Swedish premier Olaf Palme and culminated with the assassinations
of the Sri Lankan president Premadasa and president-elect Lalit
Atulathmudali. But unlike many others who have speculated about the
possibility, Sharma furnishes extensive details in support of his
conjectures. But his conclusions remain in the realm of conjectures
given the inconclusive nature of the investigations on which the book is
based. Beyond the Tigers traces the links between the Pakistani
promoters of the now defunct Bank of Credit and Commerce International
and the close associates of Rajiv Gandhi. Sharma quotes extensively from
the report submitted by the special investigation committee of the of US
Senate, headed by Senator John Kiri, detailing the monetary transactions
between the Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and his Indian associate
Chandraswami. And in the same breath he chronicles the close association
between Chandraswami and the Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy.
Sharma quotes extensively from Intelligence Bureau and Research and
Analysis Wing reports to give details of the arms shipments received by
the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Eelam just before and after the May 21
assassination in Sriperumbudur. And the modus operandi followed by the
LTTE in mid-sea transfer of shipments between 1990-1991, which remains
the same till date.
Among the other questions probed by Sharma is the role the LTTE has
played in arms running in the Subcontinent. The question of LTTE's
involvement came into focus again recently when defence minister George
Fernandes was accused of obstructing the Indian Navy led Tri-command
based at Andaman islands from intercepting a LTTE vessel reported to be
carrying arms for sale. At the same time Fernandes' role as the chief
patron of the LTTE's fund-raising organisation was also raised in
Parliament by the Opposition parties. Sharma also attempts an intimate
profile of the LTTE chief Vellupillai Pirabhakaran and the ruthless
terrorist outfit he has built up in the jungles of northeastern Sri
Lanka.
