AMERICAN TROIKA by Sherman H. Skolnick
WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER CLINTON===GEORGE W. BUSH===ALBERT GORE, Jr.
Who dares mention? Who cares to remember? Russian-style, America has proceeded as a three-horse wagon. BUT, has the United States IN AMERICA [not OF AMERICA] become stagnant because each horse has sought to pull in a different direction?
Groomed as a handsome, glib stooge since a teenager, WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER CLINTON or whatever his true name is or was, has been handled and promoted by the Rockefeller interests that have for decades owned and operated Arkansas. [Several terms before Governor alleged "Clinton", Winthrop Rockefeller was Arkansas Governor. Alleged Clinton is an illegitimate great grandson of old John D. Rockefeller, founder of the infamous Standard Oil Trust. Our interviews with mid-level members of the Rockefeller family convinces us of "Clinton's" lineage. Yet, all birth records and related early papers of him have apparently been destroyed if they ever existed.] In Arkansas, you cannot even be a dog-catcher, without the blessings of the world's oil-soaked bankers, swindlers, and assassins.
Early in his career, through the London station chief of the American CIA, alleged Clinton became an agent provocateur for Western interests, to continue the control and image of the Soviets as "enemies" of the U.S., to enrich U.S. war contractors endlessly. With covert American espionage funding, jointly with the aid of a clever so-called "Marxist", Strobe Talbott, alleged Clinton took up expensive residency in Moscow. Pretending to be young peaceniks, and alleged Clinton pretendedly a "draft dodger" (while serving actually the American CIA), whose fudged chronology fooled many, together they somehow extracted the secret transcript showing Krushchev lambasting the Stalinists. So doing, Talbott and the alleged Clinton passed the CIA test.
Through London, the alleged Clinton from an early age, was, in simplest terms, a British agent. [Who remembers that the British set up the American CIA? See the book "Intrepid" by Stephens.] As a purported Cecil Rhodes scholar, alleged Clinton was sent to Oxford. [According to published British accounts, he could not finish his British education, having been charged with raping a British woman. He was allowed to escape criminal prosecution on agreeing to leave the United Kingdom.] Based on a 19th Century South African gold/diamond fortune, the Rhodes Trust is pledged to overthrow the American central government and restore the inhabitants of this continent as subjects of the British monarchy with America resuming as British puppet colonies. Chosen by the world government elite in 1991, the Bilderberg Society Group, and sworn to support the Rhodes Trust, the alleged Clinton ran against his little-known mentor, George Herbert Walker Bush. And Bush's role as oil billionaire was arranged by the British Royal family. [See "Unauthorized Biography of George Bush" by Webster Tarpley and Anton Chaikin.] Bush and his worldwide espionage vehicle, Zapata Offshore, since at least 1959, was part of a CIA front operation.
By studying the alleged Clinton and his purported "wife", herself, separately a CIA darling from a young age, it becomes obvious their role, on behalf of the Brits, was with impunity, to shamefully discredit the American central government, and the U.S. Constitution on which it is built and dependent. Scandal upon scandal was used by the liars and whores of the Press to entertain a dumbed down America. This culminated in a sex scandal that younger Americans in particular, and old lechers in general, found highly amusing.
Little known or understood, GEORGE W. BUSH, called by some Bush the Younger, over the years had the alleged Clinton as a trusted confidant. The Arkansas traveler, from time to time, came to the Bush Family mansion at Kennebunkport, Maine. There purports to be an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, photo, showing the alleged Clinton in recent years snorting cocaine jointly with Bush the Younger. That photo, apparently available to, or purchased by, the Gore year 2000 Presidential Election Campaign, if used, might have severely detracted from the younger Bush's candidacy.
During the Florida election debacle, British broadcasters and print correspondents, on-site in Tallahassee, delighted in lampooning the American government in general and Bush/Gore in specific. The Brits had an interest, like the alleged Clintons, to completely discredit the American government the Florida state judicary, and ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court dominated by a fascist-like "Gang of Five". [Visit our website for earlier stories on the year 2000 election trauma.] Chief Justice William Rehnquist easily could play the role of a bygone day of a Nazi-era judge, with imperial gold stripes on his black dress. In perjured testimony before the U.S. Senate, as a Chief Justice appointee, Rehnquist denied that some years previous in his career, he was known as a vicious bigot and racist.
To pave the way for a Bush family second presidency, the Commissar of the Federal Reserve, properly called Alan REDSPAN, used a variety of dirty tricks. Redspan and his gang artificially smashed down the price of gold, below the cost of production, that enabled insiders to make gold forward deals and gold leasing loans at as little as one per cent. Such funds were secretly used by Wall Street derivative swindlers, like Goldman Sachs & Co. [called by savvy folks GOldman Sucks], to manipulate the price of oil upwards, with the aid of fellow gangster Marc Rich. The purpose to force up the price of oil prior to the year 2000 Election, to falsely blame presidential candidate Gore for causing the price rise.
Similar to the alleged Clinton, George W. Bush is a form of British agent, subject to the criterion of being blackmailable, whose family in the oil business/dope trafficking/weapons smuggling was created by the British monarchy. [As to oil, see Tarpley's book. As to dope/weapons, see our extensive website series, with Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury documents attached, "Greenspan Aids and Bribes Bush Family". See the Bush joint account with the Queen of England at Coutts Bank London owned by the British Queen.]
To understand how the American monopoly press has been, and remains, pro-British, and like the Tribune Company having the Queen of England as a large owner, one would have to begin by studying the early 1930s speeches in the Congressional Record of the most brave and outspoken Congressman in U.S. history, Congressman Louis T. McFadden. After surviving several assassination attempts, he was apparently murdered. [Key portions of his revealing remarks as of the date of this posting, are posted athttp://home.hiwaay.net/~becraft/mcfadden.html If you retype the address, follow it carefully including the wiggle symbol, tilde, before the word becraft.]
The Brits helped install George W. Bush in the White House. On a satire show, they repeated my description of referring to Bush as the RESIDENT at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the PRESIDENT having received a nationwide plurality of 600 thousand votes, as Albert Gore, Jr. To some, forever, Gore is the PRESIDENT-In-Exile, not inaugurated, and continuing as a university professor.
And the Brits know full well, having installed Bush the Younger, that he is, at the same time, subject to being terminated at any time by documented scandal. One of the largest U.S.newspapers, pro-British as most major American publications, as well as a pro-British large U.S. news magazine, reportedly have the pictures, documents, hotel records, airplane travel records, and other corroborating details, to substantially prove the following
As known, of course, for several years Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris has been in charge of the state's election procedures. As generally UNKNOWN, she has for eight years or more, prior to the year 2000 Presidential Election, been reportedly the sex-mate of George W. Bush. During the period he was Texas Governor, and even prior thereto, she quietly followed him to various meetings, conventions, and/or arranged with him to meet there, or he to meet her there, in various places in the United States that she otherwise would have no reason to be at. She reportedly stayed at the same hotels with George W. Bush and he reportedly fathered a child with her which was eliminated by abortion. [How does that fit with his public statements catering to the ultra-right religious folks and their position on abortion?] Katherine Harris played a key role in the George W. Bush alleged "Presidency". And in helping defeat the efforts of Afro-Americans and others cheated out of having the Florida ballots counted, she was not just any reputed sex-mate of George W. Bush. [Unlike the Monica Lewinsky matter where she did little, if anything, to further the alleged Clinton's position as President. Clinton did send Monica to a key position in the Pentagon to use her sex tricks to flush out, if possible, what generals and admirals under the Military Code, were itching to arrest their Commander-in-Chief for treason, such as with the Red Chinese Secret Police. See our website series, "Red Chinese Secret Police IN THE UNITED STATES". In the process, seeking to spy for Clinton, Monica became pregnant by a Pentagon official and had an abortion.]
What can YOU do to confront those reportedly sitting on the George W. Bush/Katherine Harris Affair? Start with the e-mail addresses of the following in the oil-soaked monopoly press who have reportedly embargoed, that is, suppressed, the story
TIME MAGAZINE: letters@time.com
NEWSWEEK and MSNBC: World@MSNBC.com
U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT MAGAZINE, Abby Beller: Abeller@usnews.com
WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE: inquiries@interactive.wsj.com
The Brits benefitted from the 1929 U.S. markets collapse. At a key point in October, 1929, the Brits pulled back their huge funds involved with U.S. stockbrokers arranging margin accounts, at the time referred to as "call money". [Some details in "The Great Crash 1929" by Kenneth Galbraith.] British celebrity Winston Churchill orchestrated and supervised, along with chief crook Bernard Baruch, the British promotion of the collapse, through J.P. Morgan & Co., a British fiscal agent in New York. In the past, the Union Jack flew at the entrance of Morgan's Wall Street headquarters. Some historians sought to falsely explain away Churchill's role by stating that he was merely sitting in the spectators' balcony of the New York Stock Exchange, just spending some time watching the hectic proceedings.
Then fast forward. By the year 2001, the Brits were in a position to expect and promote the general collapse, possibly worst in the history of the Western World, of the American markets, stocks, bonds, commodities, U.S. currency,the works. The Brits thereby hope, as prophetically outlined by Congressman Louis T. McFadden in the 1930s, to grab up U.S. properties at a penny on the dollar and use U.S. assets to underwrite foreign speculations. In what the Brits expect to cause, the clearing houses themselves---unthinkable expected disaster---would collapse making most trades on the exchanges uncollectable. [In being the first to publicize the then upcoming collapse of the Continental Bank in 1984, I was heckled when I dared mention publicly that the exchange clearing house was in danger of going under. Months later, the Chicago Tribune, without mentioning me, sheepishly admitted the clearing house for some of the Chicago markets, came within a hair of collapse.]
So the British, through their high-level operatives, some posing as "President", past and present, have hoped to grab back America. Their vehicle? A series of scandals, such as the reputed matter of George W. Bush and Katherine Harris, being just one planned wreck of several. Is Richard Cheney, a very sick man, up to taking over after the planned throwaway of Bush? Will General Colin Powell be a martial law Emperor, like Napoleon, to restore "order" as demanded by a psyched out, poorly informed populace, worried about sleeping under bridges when it rains?
Donna Rice
Gary Hart, George Bush, and Michael Williams
Lean forward in your chairs a little more. Get a little closer to the
monitor. You need to read every word of this, and slowly.
Senator Gary Hart, the man the overwhelming majority of Americans wanted
to be their President in 1988, was eliminated from the U.S. Presidential
race he was expected to win with the biggest landslide in American
history.
His elimination from the race was engineered by vice president
(and former C.I.A. Director) George Bush, whose father, Senator Prescott
Bush, personally financed the political career of Adolf Hitler.
Bush employed the use of the C.I.A. and other less official criminal
organisations to accomplish his goal of eliminating Hart from the race
after I refused to sabotage the Hart campaign and set Hart up for a
false arrest. The key C.I.A. operative in the scheme to eliminate Hart
from the race was international prostitute, Donna Rice.
After Bush and his band of scary men succeeded in eliminating Hart from
the race, I convinced him to re-enter it, something no one had ever done
before. I formed the "Draft Hart Committee", resurrected his campaign,
and managed it, until he was once again eliminated from the race by Bush
and his C.I.A. co-conspirators.
As my "reward" for my work with the Man Who Would Be President, the
fascist criminal tyrant, George Bush, had the F.B.I. arrest me (without
any warrant or indictment), torture me for two years, break up my
family, arrange for the kidnap of my two small daughters, seize
virtually all of my significant assets and property, and, after several
assassination attempts failed (as had the attempted Bush-ordered C.I.A.
assassination of Senators Gary Hart and William Cohen when they flew to
Nicaragua on an Iran-Contra fact-finding mission) exile me to
Switzerland, where I have remained ever since, unable to safely return
to America, the land of my birth.
The story has never been told. Not one American publisher has the
courage to publish it.
It is fashionable in the United States to be a coward today.
In the past
nine years, I have been unable to find an attorney willing to properly
represent me in my single-handed fight against the F.B.I. and U.S.
government, which continues to this day, lasting longer than World War
II.
So, as it stands, the American people did not get the President they
wanted. Instead of President Hart, they got President Bush, who, along
with Richard M. Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson led the conspiracy to
assassinate President John F. Kennedy on 22. November 1963 and the coup
d'etat it began. Each of the three men then took turns playing "El
Presidente" ... each of them were nothing more than four-year dictators.
For my role in defending America's liberty and right to vote, I lost
everything I had. The story ... has never been told. Just like the story
of the JFK assassination.
You can visit my web site at:
http://www.iahushua.com/mbw.html
There, you will find enough information about what George Bush and the
fascist U.S. government did to me and my family to ruin your dinner.
Eight days ago, when George Bush visited his numbered bank accounts here
in Berne, one of the highest-ranking officers of the United States
government threatened my life in person. As a matter of fact, I am
risking my life by writing this.
Even though very few, if any of you,
give a damn about what happened to me last Wednesday, or that fateful
day of 18 March 1988, when jack-booted thugs with badges broke into my
peaceful Rocky Mountain home, I am here to tell you about it, because,
as Americans, all of you who sit there on your sofas with your cans of
beer and bags of potato chips, doing nothing while your country sinks
even farther down the tubes, into a fascist police state, the likes of
which the world has never known ... you are all, each and every one of
you, equally as responsible for my pain and for the pain of your fellow
patriotic countrymen as George Bush and his gang of liars, traitors and
thieves.
Little by little, the truth is trickling out. As I risk my life today, I
now give to you the opportunity to read an article put out by another
group of brave people. You lost your chance for President Hart to save
your nation. Now, read for yourself how the fascist criminal tyrant drug
dealer, George Herbert Walker Bush, who introduced heroin and other
hard drugs to the children of America, prevented you from voting for the
only man who loved his country enough to save it from what it has now
become.

WHO IS DONNA RICE HUGHES?
=========================
Following the recent much-cheered ruling by 3 federal judges
which, for the moment anyway, has over-ruled the Clinton law
against "indecency" on the Internet, I noticed a woman named
Donna Rice Hughes appearing on the TV networks. She was said to
be with a group called "Enough is Enough", said to be organized
to protect children against pornographers supposedly lurking
everywhere in cyberspace.
Donna Rice Hughes.
Take away the "Hughes" and what do you get?
You get "Donna Rice", nemesis to 1988 Democratic Party
presidential candidate Gary Hart. You may remember how Hart,
looking strong as the potential candidate, was sunk by
allegations of his shocking (as in "I am shocked... *shocked*")
affair with "party girl" Donna Rice.
Seems pretty tame, compared
with Lothario Bill Clinton's escapades, but for "some reason" the
mainstream press really sat up and took notice, playing up the
affair for the couch potatoes in TV land.
So *if* this is the same Donna Rice, one wonders if she has "got
religion" or if the CIA has merely given her a new assignment:
working to shut down freedom of speech under the guise of saving
our children from pornography. (You remember "saving our
children", don't you? Like with President Nixon in 1969 saying
he wants to "save our children" from drugs?)
Reading in the recent book by Dr. Roger Morris, *Partners in
Power*, one finds further background on former candidate Hart.
On March 27, 1987, Billy Clinton is sucking up to Hollywood types
on the west coast. At an exclusive dinner, King Clinton dines
with, among others, Don Henley, formerly of the Eagles rock band.
Close friend to Henley is Donna Rice, who is at about that time
boarding a yacht called the *Monkey Business*.
Young Senator Hart had been on the Church committee which
investigated the CIA and its ties to organized crime. After
that, he was on the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee
where, says Morris, he continued a relentless effort to uncover
CIA hanky-panky. Hart strongly opposed the Nicaraguan Contra war
and was skeptical of the official "Oswald did it" version of the
JFK assassination.
Mobster Santos Trafficante is alleged to have
stated, regarding Hart: "We need to get rid of the son of a
bitch."
Hart seems to have been set up, says Morris, and gives evidence
to back up the claim. Readers of Conspiracy Nation are most
likely well-aware as to how CIA/Mafia have often used "party
girls" to compromise and/or ruin politicians.
Was Donna Rice
just a "party girl", or was she more than that?
And just who
*is* this person called "Donna Rice Hughes" of an organization
called "Enough is Enough"?
Did "somebody" get a promotion?

Charles Bishop
|
by Daniel Hopsicker
January 14--Tampa Florida
Tampa’s kamikaze kid pilot was (pick one): a. A Bin Laden sympathizer b. An American Patriot. c. A British Citizen.
Answer: All of the above. Puzzled? So is everyone else...
In an exclusive investigation the MadCowMorningNews has discovered startling and critical discrepancies in key elements in the official account of the life and death of Charles Bishop, the kamikaze pilot who a week ago flew a Cessna into a Tampa skyscraper.
Taken together, these discrepancies seem designed to deflect public attention away from the boy's father, a man named Charles J Bishara.
Charles Bishop’s wild last ride is the only authenticated episode of terror associated with a sympathizer of Osama Bin Laden since the September 11 attack.
So Bishop's case is important. But a week later the word used most often to describe it in the press is "puzzling."
Why did young Bishop target the Bank of America skyscraper after telling friends that he abhorred the World Trade Center attacks and wanted to go to Afghanistan and "get the SOBs''?
"Pushing the envelope in juvenile delinquency"
Osama Bin Laden had urged his followers to hit banks. Is that why Charles Bishop went out and hit one? Is he really just a troubled kid? Doesn’t flying a plane into a skyscraper somewhat stretch the definition of adolescent "acting out?"
Why would an honor student bellowing out patriotic songs near the top of his lungs and telling teachers he aspires to join the Air Force leave a suicide note praising America’s Public Enemy No.1, Osama bin Laden?
Why would he tell his family that he didn't want his ``enemies'' coming to his funeral, a request similar to one made in the last will and testament of suicide pilot Mohamed Atta?
Last Saturday, Charles Bishop crashed a plane into a building, leaving behind a suicide note professing admiration for Osama bin Laden.
Yet by Monday police were saying he wasn’t a terrorist...
On Tuesday, reporters began speculating—in a truly Orwellian double-speak touch, since anyone flying a plane into a building is the very picture of sincerity—on the sincerity of his note.
By Friday, he was being remembered in news stories as, of all things, an American patriot.
At his Saturday funeral, the reputation of this "polite, brilliant, compassionate kid" had been so redeemed (or twisted) that someone placed a stripe off one of his father's Air Force shirts in his casket.
Finally, on Sunday, Charles Bishop's metamorphosis was complete. Now the terrorist act he carried out was no longer even a specific case anymore, and Bishop was reduced to an icon, the poster child, one editorialist imagined, for "what might go down in history as "the terrorism generation."
Perhaps this week he’ll be nominated for a Nobel Prize.
With every important question in the case still-unanswered, the official version of events borders on satire; it is so ridiculous that it reads like a bad spy novel by E. Howard Hunt.
The official explanation for why Charles Bishop killed himself in such spectacular fashion is "suicide by zit."
His actions weren’t political.
They were hormonal.
"This particular kid fits an interesting profile that I think the Secret Service and the FBI have been investigating for some time now," said one ‘expert’ trotted out for a quote in a typical wire story. "Kids who have grown up with an inadequate sense of empathy," said Michael Peck, a Santa Monica psychologist who has specialized in suicides of youths.
"But he's only half-Sicilian."
Might there be a better explanation than this? Might this suppressed explanation offer glimpses of the real identities of some of the people and organizations responsible for murdering 4000 innocent civilians on September 11?
The first hint of trouble came from Katie Hughes, a Tampa police spokeswoman. She said Bishop's father, who they have been unable to contact since his son’s suicide, is of Syrian and Sicilian descent.
"Another mystery to be unraveled," read the Miami Herald. "Where is the boy's father?"
The mystery deepened... Reporters could not find the father of the dead kamikaze kid, but they tracked down his grandfather. Strangely, he didn't seem to know much about Bishara either..Never mind that he's his son. Robert Bishara said, apologetically, "I don't want to say anything that might be wrong."
Aren’t Mobsters noted for omerta--not talking to outsiders? Or is this instead just another example of the breakdown of the nuclear family?
"Heroin, sure. But nobody said 'trafficking.' Yet."
Press accounts referred to Bishara as a "small time crook" from Winchester, Massachusetts. They said that he began a string of mostly petty, occasionally alcohol-fueled crimes that made him familiar to the police in both Malden, and nearby Everett, where he lived.
He was cited for running a stop sign and driving without a license in 1985. Two years later, he was convicted of breaking into a restaurant two blocks from his father's house. The same year, he was convicted of possession of burglary tools and larceny.
He is currently wanted by authorities on heroin charges.
Bishara's list of encounters with the law must be a long one... We discovered this particularly colorful opportunity for Charles to get to know local law enforcement from 1987, that we haven't seen mentioned anywhere...
Turns out, Charles gets stabbed a lot.
First in an unsuccessful and by now famous suicide pact with the woman who is today the grief-stricken Mother, Janis Bishop. A sensitive soul she may be today, but sixteen years ago she plunged a 13-inch knife into poor Charles' liver.
"Just don't point the knife at my liver, okay?"
Just two years later Charles Bishara gets stabbed again.
Though current press reports haven't mentioned it, he was stabbed in the leg, arm, back and shoulder (thank god they missed his probably still-tender liver). His attacker was simultaneously shouting at his girlfriend, "Do you want to see me stab someone?"
Sounds like something right out of Raging Bull. How many other "incidents" like this might there be?
The reason this may be important is that there may be a little problem with the widely-disseminated police and FBI portrayal of Bishara as a small time crook running into minor spats with the law. If the authorities aren't lying to us--and when have we ever known them to do that?--then being a small-time crook must be paying really well in Boston these days.
Charlie's own little place in the sun
Wanted in Massachusetts on heroin charges, Charles Bishara, the MadCowMorningNews has learned, owns a penthouse condominium at the new Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples Florida, located just a hundred miles down 1-75 from the family he is reputed to have had no contact with for 15 years.
Penthouse condominiums sell for about a million dollars each, said Ritz Carlton sales representative Jeff DeAngelis. He vaguely remembered Charles Bishara purchasing a little over a year ago.
Bishara's million dollar get-away is behind the gates of the "Bolero" neighborhood, which is not as cheesy as it sounds because it sits on a Greg Norman-designed golf course.
It looks to be the very lap of luxury. Perhaps more trained observers in the FBI see something else.
Is half-Syrian and half-Sicilian Charles J Bishara just a small time crook? Or is he in reality some kind of Mob Boss? Take a look at his house: What do you think?
Could young Charles Bishop's violent act of terrorism have been an attempt to impress his absent Mobster Dad with his big cojones?
An even bigger question: why did Charles Bishop praise Osama? No one knows. Maybe he saw something. Or heard something. In America's current war, what might this help explain about the postures of the Sicilian Mafia and the Arab Christian clans of Lebanon from which Charles Bishara sprang--along with another Bishara, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan?
No information at press time on any relationship. But Sirhan worked at race tracks. Is the Mob big on the ponies?
"Only connect."
Could the secretiveness surrounding the entire Bishop/Bishara family be because Bishara is somehow implicated in the currently-controversial scandal involving Bishara's fellow Boston Mobster, Whitey Bulger?
Bulger, it appears, was "whacking" his rivals as well as various and sundry other citizens of Boston with something like impunity because of his "relationship" with the Boston FBI.
The case is made even more explosive by the startling action of President Bush last month. Bush invoked executive privilege. Bush blocked a congressional subpoena exploring abuses in the Boston FBI office after a Congressional committee began to investigate.
Reporters in Boston charge cover up!
Bush's party-mate Dan Burton was so incensed that he lambasted his fellow Republican in the Oval Office.
"You tell the president there's going to be war between the president and this committee," he told a Justice Department official during what was supposed to be a routine prehearing handshake.
Observers said Bush’s invoking executive privilege was triggering what one congressman called "the start of a constitutional confrontation."
"They're all on a motoring safari in Asia."
Could the reason authorities "can't find" Bishara be the same reason they "can't find" Whitey Bulger? Or Osama bin Laden?
Could they all be riding motorbikes across South Asia with Mullah Omar?
These speculations make at least as much sense as the laughable notion that what the citizens of Tampa were subjected to last weekend was acne-medication-induced terror.
Finally we come to the Curiosity of the Week: the case of Charles Bishop's nationality. According to UPI, Charles Bishop was "a British citizen, who did not have a license to fly."
A British citizen? All-American patriot Chuck? (Being born of at least one British parent inside the U.S. means that until he reached 18 he had both British and U.S. citizenship.)
"I say old chap, would you mind awfully giving us the money?"
His mother’s maiden name is deTore, which doesn’t sound English.
So it must be Charles’ Bishop’s father, Charles Bishara, who has the British passport. How many small-time thugs in Boston carry British passports? Probably not too many, right? Does America's Most Wanted Whitey Bulger have a British passport, too?
Someone familiar with Charlie Bishara's home, Winchester, Massachusetts, told us of the town's colorful history with the Mob. And he also told us something else about Winchester, which may shed some light on the Bishop/Bishara business, when we take up the case of Janis Bishop.
And one last item, one we have not even allowed ourselves to think about yet:
Charles Bishara's home in Naples Florida is just a short five-minute drive from flight school owner Rudi Dekkers' headquarters at the Naples Airport.
Of all places.
Small world.
What are the odds?
It must be admitted that Charles Bishara’s many brushes with the ‘wild side’ would be consistent with—fourteen years ago—a low-level career in the Mob.
From the size of Charlie's little getaway home in Naples, Mr. Bishara may have been moving up—just a little—since then.
NEXT: THE CURIOUS CASE OF JANIS BISHOP
