CHANDRA’S DANGEROUS KNOWLEDGE

This writer has been challenged by several subscribers to provide more information on which the scenario was based in the Medium Rare article of July 26th (Condit’s Rock and a Hard Place). In that article it was postulated that Chandra Levi may have come into possession of information that made her dangerous to powerful people, not necessarily Gary Condit, that required her "elimination."

Consequently, please bear with us while we "build the case."

It appears obvious that Chandra is (was) a bright inquisitive girl and young woman with a penchant for intrigue.

In high school Chandra joined the Explorer Scouts police program where she sometimes worked undercover to catch retailers selling alcohol to minors. She was also a writer for the school newspaper.

After her 1995 high school graduation she spent four years at San Francisco State University majoring in journalism with a minor in criminal justice. She entered the graduate program at the University of Southern California (USC) working toward, and earning, a masters degree in public administration.

The USC program required a number of internships in lieu of a dissertation, which Chandra fulfilled with a vengeance.

An in depth article by Washington Times writer Frank J. Murray, entitled "Who is Chandra Levy," outlines an extensive and curious convergence with the Condit family.

From August 1998 to August 1999 she was an editorial assistant in the sports department of the Modesto Bee newspaper, a part of a newspaper chain including the Sacramento Bee which is a left leaning partisan supporter of California Democrats.

Overlapping that internship was a stint at the Modesto police department where she worked as a clerk. Condit’s older brother is a Modesto police officer who was demoted in rank stemming from unauthorized purchases and disposal of firearms from the police inventory of confiscated weapons.

During the period she was with the police department, Chandra, then 22, had a year-long affair with another police officer Mark Steele, ten years her senior. Steele, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, said Chandra took it hard when he broke off the relationship and continued to pursue him. Steel is no longer with the department.

For three months in 1999, ending in December, Chandra interned in the lobbying office of Republican Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan.

From February to June 2000 she interned on the legal staff of Democrat Governor Gray Davis. Two of Gary Condit’s offspring were also on Davis’ staff at that time. Son Chad was the governor’s liaison to the Central Valley at a starting salary of $95,234 a year. Daughter Cadee made $30,000 a year as a Davis press aide. It is not known if Chandra knew or even met Condit’s daughter and son.

In October of 2000 Chandra started her intern job at the Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C. According to Murray’s article, "Her job at the Bureau of Prisons information office required her to do Internet searches and scan newspapers to prepare daily news summaries, answer telephone calls and mail, and help with special projects. In one, she coordinated media attendance at planning sessions for the execution of Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh." (Emphasis added.)

According to a Washington Post story, Chandra’s duties also included researching Bureau of Prison records.

In an earlier article, this writer had speculated that Chandra, during her research, may have come across evidence supporting allegations made on the Internet that Dr. Louis Jolyn (Jolly) West had visited McVeigh in prison a number of times. One such article asserted the number of visits was seventeen.

Dr. West (since conveniently deceased) was deeply involved in mind control experiments with ties to the CIA. At one time West had tried to set up a department at UCLA, where he was a professor, involving melting of brain synapses to control the subjects’ minds. These rumors had fostered the belief in some that McVeigh was indeed a "Manchurian Candidate" programmed for the Oklahoma bombing. McVeigh at one time claimed that a microchip had been implanted in him while in the service.

It is entirely reasonable to suggest that Chandra may have uncovered such evidence during her search of bureau records. If she let the wrong person, including Condit, know she had that evidence, she may have signed her own death warrant.

In the writer’s last article, it was also suggested that the intelligence community might be trying to divert attention from Condit to relieve pressure on him from some damaging disclosure he could make.

Supporting that suspicion is one fact of which knowledgable readers will immediately grasp the significance. The FBI’s lead investigator on the Levy case is one Bradley J. Garrett. According to author and investigative reporter Todd Fahey, who specializes in intelligence affairs, Garrett was the FBI’s lead investigator in the murder of intern Mary Caitlan Mahoney at a Georgetown Starbucks coffeeshop as well as the "suicide" of White House Counsel Vince Foster.

If there is a diversion or cover-up in progress, this writer does not believe it is to save Gary Condit. It most surely would be to hide a much larger issue with national security implications.
