We have been accused of being neo-Nazis, Communists, anti-Semites, Christian haters, certainly not Bush friendly and guilty of treason, aggravated mopery, theft of mattress tags from cheap motels, chronic jaywalking and disturbers of the political peace.
I run this site all by myself with a little help from various friends, both inside and outside of the Beltway.
The articles not otherwise credited are usually written by myself although I do not take credit for them. The articles speak for themselves and I do not believe in beating my own drum as so many other journalists seem to enjoy doing. The message is always important; not so the messenger.

So, this article is the work of the publisher/editor/reporter, and he offers no substantiation for his reported facts.
Understand, I'm NOT saying there's reason to believe it's all invented, made up, nonsense. The fact is, this source is absolutely no different than the guy next to me at the bus stop turning to me and relaying all the same information in this story. That may be a knowledgeable insider who talked to me, or a nut job. In both cases, I have no way of knowing which is true.
Among other things, I AM further influenced by the author's references to outlets such as "Global Research," which is an unpredictable mix of wire stories and invented rubbish.
As it stands, I have no reason in particular to believe this report, and some reason to be skeptical of it.
Your question is absolutely fair, and I shouldn't have just posted a single dismissive response to the OP.
