-Caveat Lector- i first heard gritz's name in the cutolo affadavit...a document naming several key players in the contra/cocaine/arms scandal...harari's name was also in that affadavit... ------------------------------------------------------
In view of the present "perilous times" we live in, are you prepared for events that lie ahead? If not, then how can you prepare yourself even now in this late hour? General William Westmoreland has called Colonel Gritz "The American Soldier." Also called an "American Original" by the Washington Post and a "Renaissance Green Beret" in the Atlanta Constitution, Colonel Gritz has been decorated 62 times for valor during his combat service in Vietnam and elsewhere. He now devotes his time and energies to a higher calling of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and teaching preparedness and spiritual warfare against the real enemies of God's people. The purpose of this website is to help you obtain information and skills for facing the enemy of our souls, during such times as we now live in. http://www.bogritz.com/ Gritz surfaced again in 1992 as the Populist candidate for president (he won about 100,000 votes on a platform to end income taxes and foreign aid and to dismantle the Federal Reserve), but gained more notoriety for his role in negotiating the surrender of white supremacist Randy Weaver to federal agents at Ruby Ridge. The plaudits he won for helping to end the violent impasse were, however, overshadowed by the Nazi salute he gave to the watching skinheads who had congregated at Ruby Ridge during the standoff. Gritz called it a "special salute" or "special wave." Such ambiguity also has surrounded his other political activities. Operating a "Center for Action" out of Nevada, Gritz has published a newsletter which echoes many of the standard Patriot themes--only without the refreshing frankness of the committed rad-riters. Gritz's newsletter talks about the international banking conspiracy and the Federal Reserve owned by "eight Jewish families," but it shies away from the more overt anti-semitism that other Christian Patriots display. Gritz explains how to apply for "allodial titles," a old (and invariably unsuccessful) trick used by tax resisters, but claims not to be a tax resister. Gritz told a Kamiah audience in August 1994 that he does not file a federal tax return, but told an Associated Press reporter that he had never failed to file one. Gritz denies being a racist or white supremacist, citing his two half-Chinese children and an African-American godchild, and yet accompanying Gritz on many of his frequent speaking engagements is Richard Flowers, who sells racist materials at the locations where Gritz speaks, including "The Jews and Their Lies," which warns people to "Be on your guard against the Jews. They are the real liars and bloodhounds. From childhood, they have been brought up with poison and hatred." Gritz has distanced himself from the militia movement, yet conducts classes in paramilitary training called SPIKE (Specially Prepared Individuals for Key Events) classes. Over and over again, Gritz has shown a willingness to embrace the vision of the far right, but a considerable reluctance to accept the dark side that comes along with it. http://www.militia-watchdog.org/gritz.htm ------------------------------------------------------ apparently bo gritz has been closely tied with the isreali mossad, the bush family [what is this connection between nazis and semites? - is it their shared hatred for the islamic share of the monotheism market?]...with his connections on high, ala SOA death squads, AND his connections to the 'mainstream' militia movement one must deduce that he is duping the people he is told to dupe...how is an american boy made into a killing machine? by being fed false information! he is said to have 'paranoid' visions of a new world order run by a jewish media...how wonderfully racist...realizing that there are media connections to israel and SOME jewish businessmen is about as anti-semitic as it is anti-american to say that nixon was a crook [who is anti-american: someone who exposes people that exploit my brothers and sisters or the exploiter?] - the more i look into certain figures, the more i think that the nazis and the zionists were collaborating and still are...yet bo gets to appeal, this way, to the racist element providing a convenient target for zionist spin doctors...in other words, he plays both sides of this supposed cultural rift...why? the only answer that i can think of is that it all falls within the plan to keep people separated to be used against each other...who better to lead on a bunch of white supremacists [supremacy based on ignorance] than someone with media, US intelligence ties, and ties to the bush family - in a perfect position to provide disinformation...building their hatred which, like nuclear energy, is a force that can be unleashed like a pack of predators operating on false information, fully believing god is on their side...deja vu! can you say STATE SPONSORED TERRORISTS? --------------------------------------------------------- He has also compared the U.S. government to the Soviet KGB and the Nazi Gestapo. He has expressed support for the white supremacist "Identity" movement, which preaches that Jews are "Satan's spawn" and that non-whites are "mud races." Gritz gives the distinct impression that he is preparing for a stand-off with the Federal government, stating: "The FBI knows me and the Special Forces know me... The last thing they want to do is tangle with me, because I'm trained in guerrilla warfare." Recently, Gritz once again forced himself into the spotlight by convincing FBI officials to allow him to help mediate in the Freeman stand-off in Montana, which began in March 1996. Grist, along with retired police officer-turned-militia proponent Jack McLamb, spent several days with the Freemen (who deny the legitimacy of state and Federal government in favor of "common law"), attempting unsuccessfully to convince them to surrender and face trial in Federal court. (The Freemen stand-off ended peacefully on June 13, 1996.) (Anti-Defamation League, 19) http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/american/adl/paranoia-as- patriotism/bo-gritz.html -------------------------------------------------------- yet his ties to michael harari are strong... how many cultural, racial, and other rifts in humanity exist SOLELY because a ruling class deliberately feeds information to one side that is erroneous about the other and vice versa? all of them? -------------------------------------------------------- Bo Gritz says FBI has enlisted him in Rudolph search http://europe.cnn.com/US/9807/31/rudolph.gritz/ --------------------------------------------------------- so this man co-operates with the police state regularly...hmmm... --------------------------------------------------------- Maybe he shot himself, maybe he didn't. But former Green Beret James "Bo" Gritz, who leads his so-called Patriot Movement from northern Idaho, was hospitalized late Sunday with what authorities say is a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Gritz, who made a name for himself acting as a mediator between the US government and backwoods militiamen, ran for president in 1992. The hospital in Orofino, Idaho, where Gritz was taken wouldn't discuss the nature of his wounds, whether he was wounded at all, or even confirm that he was a patient. http://www.wired.com/news/print/0%2C1294%2C15119%2C00.html ----------------------------------------------------------- why would wired cover someone like bo gritz? EXTREMELY ODD...for wired magazine's potential connections to some of MY experiences, see: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/agentsmiley/message/252 hmmm....lots of ex NSA employees go to work for wired...when the disinformation about jam echelon day started to come out...it came out through wired magazine [see last post for that one too]...and involved the complicity, apparently of linda thompson...who has been another 'mainstream' militia figure... below, miafacts.org seems to be claiming that bo awarded medals, somehow, to HIMSELF...citing an official denial of issue of a medal that he war recommended for that, apparently, he WEARS... --------------------------------------------------------- In 1968, Gritz was recommended to his unit, the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) (5th SFGA) for a second award of the Legion of Merit (LOM) The LOM is a prestigious award and for a major to be recommended for a second LOM, and for the recommendation to cover only six months of service, was somewhat unusual. The Executive Officer of the 5th SFGA asked the Group adjutant to look into Gritz's awards history and make a recommendation as to the approval of this second LOM. The results of that investigation are contained in a memorandum dated 15 October 1968 from the Adjutant of the 5th SFGA to the Executive Officer. In early 1998, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act Request to the Department of Defense regarding an unrelated POW-MIA matter. In the material that was sent to me in response to my request was a copy of this memo on Gritz's awards. I had seen this memo while on active duty but, frankly, had forgotten about it. In view of the claims now being circulated by several MIA "activists" about Gritz's exploits, specifically about his claims to have run POW "rescue" operations into Laos after the end of the war, I think some purpose might be served in putting Gritz's record in perspective. http://www.miafacts.org/gritz.htm Not a Colonel First, let's answer the question of Gritz's rank. He bills himself and he is introduced as "Colonel." Gritz retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel. http://www.miafacts.org/gritz_legend.htm Gritz, a retired Special Forces colonel who helped negotiate an end to the Ruby Ridge, Idaho, standoff in 1992, insists he is helping FBI agents on his own terms -- not theirs -- in order to save Rudolph's life. http://europe.cnn.com/US/9807/31/rudolph.gritz/ ---------------------------------------------------- so cnn bills gritz as a colonel too ---------------------------------------------------- Gritz's notoriety comes from four sources: His wartime exploits. Or, more accurately, his telling of his wartime exploits. His "POW rescue operations": Velvet Hammer Grand Eagle, also called BOHICA (Bend Over, Here It Comes Again) Lazarus Lazarus Omega Operation Brokenwing His visit to drug warlord Kuhn Sa. His involvement in right-wing lunatic fringe politics. This article will address each of these items with most attention paid to the "POW rescue operations." http://www.miafacts.org/gritz_legend.htm --------------------------------------------------------- wow...the amazing help he has had in portraying himself as decorated...then again, is this site aiming at distancing bo from military ops in general? let's read on --------------------------------------------------------- Gritz went into action. He contacted his friend in ISA who did two things: one right, one very wrong. The right thing that the ISA guy did was to propose, through channels, that Gritz be supported in an operation. The wrong thing that he did was to give Gritz money, cameras, and communications equipment. When the request to use Gritz hit the approval channels, it was immediately rejected because everyone except ISA knew that Gritz was a charlatan, that Loh's "agents" were clowns, and that there were no Americans at Nomarrath. But, Gritz now had official US intelligence community equipment and he claimed that this was proof that he was working for the US government. He was not. Bo contacted a large number of old SF buddies, telling them to join him in Florida where he was assembling a team to rescue US POWs. ------------------------------------------------------- florida...now we are in bush territory...cocaine, noriega territory ------------------------------------------------------- Things got a little wacky and the SF troops began to defect. Gritz could never really explain why he had reporters present on a super-secret, US-government sponsored operation. His training regimen consisted of long speeches, group hypnosis, and church services conducted by Bo. He kept to himself the reconnaissance photographs that he claimed to have. The SF folks really became disillusioned when they realized that they were not doing any serious training and did not even know what the target looked like. They began to leave. ------------------------------------------------------ wow...sounds a little wacoISH...huh? it sure seems like the establishment has at times a reason to acknowledge bo as a war hero and at times, not... let's read on ------------------------------------------------------ Gritz is a convincing, charismatic fellow. Knowing that he needed money, he managed to contact Eastwood and Shatner and convince them that he had official support. He used a forged letter bearing the signature of former DIA deputy director General Harold Aaron to establish his bona-fides with Eastwood and Shatner. Eastwood gave Gritz $30,000 and Shatner bought the movie rights for $10,000. Bo Meets With Kuhn Sa (subtitled: Two Scam Artists In the Jungle) Some Background Khun Sa, whose Chinese name is Chang Chi-fu, is a real piece of work. He is a notorious opium warlord who holds forth in the "Golden Triangle" -- the mountainous border region where China, Burma, Laos, and Thailand intersect. He is the leader of a well-organized, well-armed, and dangerous crowd that calls itself the "Shan United Army." By 1978-79, Khun Sa had established a major heroin complex in the Thai-Burma border area and controlled over 65% of the heroin produced in the Golden Triangle. His private army is used to facilitate traffic in opium and heroin and to keep Khun Sa in power. Chang Chi-fu/Khun Sa is evil. In the early 1980's, he heard reports that his sister and her husband were working with Thai authorities to entrap him. Being the family man that he is, Khun Sa had a gang of his troops surround his sister's home and burn it to the ground -- with the sister, her husband, and children inside. By the late-1980s, US DEA support to the Burmese and Thai governments was beginning to pinch Khun Sa. His heroin producing labs were under constant attack and his production was falling dramatically. As part of his attempt to put an end to the DEA pressure, he started a public relations campaign to clean up his image -- and to dirty everyone else. Khun Sa granted audiences to an odd assortment of people, including journalists. In all his statements, he made grandiose claims about how many US officials were on his payroll. To hear him tell it, every American who had ever served in the US embassies in Thailand or Burma was on the take. He made offers to sell to the US all the heroin produced in the Golden Triangle. He tried every way possible to clean up his image but none of it worked. Enter Gritz In mid-1986, Vice-President Bush's office received a letter from a "businessman," Mr. Arthur Suchek, about a US POW who was available for release through Khun Sa. DIA was charged with investigating the letter and it quickly became clear the Mr. Suchek was a flim-flam man. Accompanying Suchek's claim was yet another claim that a solution to the narcotics problem in Southeast Asia could be found by dealing directly with Khun Sa, rather than through the Drug Enforcement Administration and the governments of Thailand and Burma. In this report, Khun Sa was portrayed as a nationalist leader of the Shan people, representing national Shan interests and not narcotics traffickers. Right. An intense investigative effort on the Suchek - Khun Sa POW report determined through intelligence sources and polygraph information that the report had no foundation. While this investigation was underway, Gritz somehow learned of the report, and called a former acquaintance, an Army officer who was temporarily detailed to the NSC staff and offered his (Gritz's) services to the government. Bo outlined his plan for a trip to check out the report, advised his acquaintance that he refused to deal with the Defense Intelligence Agency, and claimed that he would provide information only through this officer. After reporting this contact and receiving guidance, the officer informed Gritz that the report was being investigated, that no help was needed, and that Gritz`s involvement was not welcome. None of this stopped Bo. He headed out for Burma and, probably using contacts in the Thai Border Police, entered Burma and met Khun Sa. Now, this is not at all strange as Khun Sa needed some publicity and he may have figured that Bo was his conduit to the White House. I would not be surprised to learn that Bo even made such representations to Khun Sa. Bo had his meeting with Khun Sa videotaped and the video pops up from time to time at Bo's various political meetings. In the video, Bo and Khun Sa talk about heroin trafficking and POWs. Khun Sa accuses every US official from George Bush down of being in cahoots with him but he had no information about US POWs, beyond vowing to tell Gritz if he finds any. -------------------------------------------------------- and here we have the drug connection...can you say the bushes, harari, noriega, contras, guns, october surprise, cia.....and what role would bo play? well, he is easily discredited [during the psyops practiced on me i was always offered the opportunity, albeit implied, to join who the hell ever this was - methinks that such black ops are only feasible when performed by folks easily discredited]...yet co-operated with during police actions and by the very media that slings dirt at him...acting as if his military career is indeed, legitimate - maybe it is...maybe all the dirt is so that if someone names him or he names others...all this crap can come to light...it's called intelligence...and through all this, bo maintains his icon status with the 'mainstream' militia movement...it seems that both the psuedo left and the pseudo right have much use for bo -------------------------------------------------------- Former colleagues of Khun Sa say he is now living in a jungle retreat under the supervision of Burmese police. They say he may have surrendered partly to escape facing charges in the U.S. In 1989, he was charged in New York for trying to import 1,000 tons of heroin to the U.S. Burmese officials have refused to extradite Khun Sa to the U.S. (Reuter, "Burma Refuses to Extradite Drug Chieftain," Washington Post, January 15, 1996, p. A22). http://www.ndsn.org/FEB96/BURMA.html ------------------------------------------------------- yet burmese officials had no problem co-operating with bo gritz...hmmm.... ------------------------------------------------------- The total fraud of the Iran Contra Committee CUTOLO AFFIDAVITT - re: harari, cocaine, mena arkansas >From Burma to Bush, a Heroin Trail GEORGE BUSH STRONGHOLD SEIZED Lt. Col. James Bo Gritz, the highly decorated Green Beret Commander who is blowing the lid off our government's involvement in Golden T riangle Heroin trafficking, recently captured new territory of unimagined strategic significance. In Houston 1-18-88 where he was the keynote speaker for the MILITARY ORDER OF WORLD WARS. Col. Gritz was discreetely approached and asked if he would address a breakfast meeting of the HOUSTON CLUB the following morning. This group happens to be the elite businessmen's club of Houston which counts Vice President George Bush among it's members. http://www.dcia.com/dnd.html ------------------------------------------------------- what better smoke screen than for the main operatives to appear to be blowing the lid...methinks key info is withheld in these documents... why do such operatives never blow the lid in real time...THAT would be an indicator of moral fiber...blowing the lid after one has made a career out of it and then writing a book to make more money off of it...none of it when something can be done about it...the premise is that one does not go looking for evidence of bush's relationship to golden triangle heroin trade after it has already happened and is over... where are the drugs coming from now? THE FREAKIN NORTHERN ALLIANCE... wake the hell up people... -------------------------------------------------------- In the shadowy world of militias, conspiracy theorists, and others tied to the radical antigovernment movement, one figure stands out as a link between such groups and the law-enforcement agencies they distrust.
