Thanks to Marie and Pat for passing this along to me. Chilling especially
when you consider the allegations of organized crime connections. Consider
the stranglehold the mob has on the Russian people and links to Amerika.
Did Sonny Bono and Ron Brown meet similar fate sources as Vincent Foster and
William Colby?
Where will Loral Corporation and Tyson Chicken fit in? Funny the IMF uses
America's money to prop up Russia and it ends up going in the oligarchs
pockets and missing the banks and economy.
Sorry for format problems, nothing I could do short of an hour's work to clean
it up. In fact, if anyone knows of a software program that will take the dead
space (excuse the pun) out of the body of text leading to proper format,
please let me know the solution.
Darren
Dear Darren: Yes, I just deleted all the "dead space" by hand - USCMike1

Death by Clinton - William Colby's Mysterious Death - The Fear that
Pervades Washington - by Christopher Ruddy
WASHINGTON---It was March of 1996. My cell phone rang. My literary agent
was on the line. "Cross Colby off the list. He's dead." "Colby is dead," I
said with some shock. "Yes, I just heard on the radio he died in a car crash,"
my agent said.
I did not know former CIA Director Bill Colby, nor did my agent. But we
both knew James Dale Davidson, editor of the investment newsletter Strategic
Investment. Davidson was not only an associate of Colby's, but Colby had
worked for Davidson as a contributing editor for his newsletter.
At the time of my agent's call, he was attempting to find a publisher for
my book on the Vince Foster case. We still had no publisher, and my agent had
floated the idea of William Colby writing the proposed book's foreword. This
would serve several purposes. Colby, as a former CIA chief, would give the
book some credibility with a publisher.
Colby had been a key figure in the Watergate scandal after he refused to
allow the CIA to block the FBI probe on the Watergate burglary.
Colby could not be accused of being part of a right-wing conspiracy. After
leaving the CIA, he argued for unilateral disarmament and became a fixture at
the left-wing Institute for Policy Studies.
My agent thought Colby might be open to the idea. After all, he worked
for Davidson and Davidson openly claimed Foster was murdered, pointing the
finger at the Clinton White House.
But now the idea of a Colby foreword seemed lost. I called Davidson and
asked him if he had heard the news about Colby. His voice became strained. He
sounded stunned when I told him.
But, of course, Colby had not died that March. He died a month later. My
agent was wrong. To this day, he swears he heard something, and to this day,
we laugh about the Jungian wrinkle in time. Davidson was peeved at me for the
false report, as he well should have been.
On April 29, 1996, the wires flashed with hot news: Former CIA Director
William Colby had disappeared from his country home on the Wicomico River in
Maryland. Authorities suspected he died in a canoeing accident, as his
waterlogged canoe was found on the shore near his home.
A week later, his body surfaced in the marsh near his home. After a
perfunctory autopsy, local police authorities closed the case as an accident.
Still, there were many reasons to suspect foul play. These suspicions
began as soon as the initial press reports came out. As expected, the
Associated Press ran the first wire story. Colby was missing and presumed
drowned" the AP reported. The wire story said he died as the result of "an
apparent boating accident."
Quoting a source close to Mrs. Colby, who was in Texas at the time her
husband disappeared, the AP stated Colby had spoke via phone with his wife on
the day he disappeared. He told her he was not feeling well, "but was going
canoeing anyway."
This would be an important clue pointing to an accidental death, had it
been true. But someone fabricated this story out of whole cloth. A week later,
Colby's wife rebutted the AP report, telling the Washington Times her husband
was well, and made no mention of canoeing.
This initial, false report that relieved obvious suspicion was, for me, a
red flag of a cover-up. Interesting too, were the obituaries being written.
All detailed Colby's fabled career in the World War II-era OSS, the James
Bond-like spy who parachuted behind Nazi lines and became a stellar CIA
agent.
After heading up the Company's Phoenix program in Vietnam, Colby was tapped by
President Nixon for the position of DCI--Director of Central Intelligence.
These obituaries detailed a formidable list of Colby's associations after he
left the CIA.
Yet, nowhere did any media report Colby's most significant occupation at
the time of his death--contributing editor for Davidson's Strategic
Investment. Odd that Colby's major affiliation at the same time of his death
deservedno notice.
Strategic Investment is a prestigious financial newsletter with more than
100,000 readers each month. It is co-edited by James Davidson, a national
figure, as well as William Lord Rees-Mogg, former editor of the Times of
London.
This curious omission takes on great importance when one understands one
of Strategic Investment's key aspects. It has been one of the leading, real
opposition publications to Bill and Hillary Clinton in the United States.
Davidson and Rees-Mogg have never pulled any punches about the Clintons.
Each month, the newsletter detailed the Clintons' sordid drug, mob, and murder
connections. Davidson had been a friend of Bill Clinton and had frequented
Little Rock. He even had donated the maximum amount allowable to Clinton's
1992 presidential campaign.
In 1993, Davidson had an awakening about Clinton. My reporting on Foster,
investigative reports by British reporter Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, and columns
by Strategic Investment's Washington insider Jack Wheeler, had convinced
Davidson that Clinton was linked to organized crime, had subverted the U.S.
law enforcement agencies, and was a danger to America's institutions and
financial well-being.
As an editor for Davidson's newsletter, Colby never wrote about the
Clintons or touched upon these matters. He did, however, lend his name to
Davidson's enterprise. The newsletter's reach was multiplied by the effect of
the millions of direct-mail pieces Davidson's organization sent to homes
across the country seeking new subscribers.
I was shocked by one such direct-mail booklet. The cover headlined the
Clintons' connection with murder and drugs. I opened the first page, and the
first picture I saw was William Colby's. Another headline blazed that
Strategic Investment was "An Investor's CIA." Colby was prominently displayed,
as was his endorsement. This was brilliant marketing on behalf of Strategic,
but when I saw it, I thought Colby was swimming in dangerous waters.
