Hall was retained by the managers of seven rock bands to
investigate physicians who'd slipped their musicians fraudulent
prescriptions, drugs that altered their personalities, disrupted public
appearances, hindered their lives and music.
Hall reported that two doctors and a dentist had prescribed the
mind-altering drugs. This information was turned over to the authorities.
No action was taken. Hall was gunned down shortly thereafter, on July 22,
1976. The homicide investigation turned up tapes recorded by Robert Hall.
Beverly Hills Police Chief Jack Eggars immediately resigned due to his
involvement with the drug dealer, as revealed in the tapes. The media,
observed the late political researcher Mae Brussell, linked the killing to
"Hollywood's most famous celebrities in drug and sex scandals, exposures of
television starts and high Washington officials, drug traffic from Los
Angeles to the Malibu community, international sports events, the Los
Angeles police department (one of their former agents is now retired, and
heads the Police Science Department at L.A. Valley College and supplied the
fatal weapon used to kill Hall)."
Jack Ginsburgs, Hall's partner, was charged with the murder.
Ginsburgs, according to Hougan, was "a pornographer, the proprietor of XXX,
Inc. The son of a White Russian �migr�, he'd spent his youth inside the
decadent Shanghai Bund - that romantic foreign colony which [was] a meld of
opium, kinky sex and intrigue." Gene LeBell was also charged. LeBell,
another partner in Hall's firm, owned a pharmacy in Hollywood.
Mineo was a friend of L.A. Mafioso Mickey Cohen. A.J. Weberman, an
investigative reporter with a gift for unearthing iillicit CIA activity,
found close connections to the Nixon CREEPs, yet again:
In 1968 syndicate member Mickey Cohen, who was serving
Federal prison time, said that Murray Chotiner had solicited campaign
contributions from him on behalf of NIXON.... In 1940 Mickey Cohen
moved to Los Angeles and worked with Jack Dragna and Meyer Lansky's
partner, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. When Siegel was murdered by Meyer
Lansky's hitmen in 1947, Mickey Cohen took over for him. California
crime lord Jack Dragna became uncomfortable with Cohen, and numerous
attempts were made on the life of Mickey Cohen. Meyer Lansky finally
arranged for a truce between Dragna and Cohen.
In 1970 Murray Chotiner became NIXON'S Special Counsel; and in 1971,
as a private attorney, he helped Teamster Union boss James Hoffa
secure a Presidential pardon. Murray Chotiner was contacted by his
friend, I. Irving Davidson, regarding this matter. [FBI FOIA Req.

Between 1967 and 1976, many of the music industry's most
politically active talents perished in a fog of inconsistencies, among them
Mama Cass Elliot, folk singers Richard Farina, Phil Ochs and Tim Buckley,
Jim and Pamela Morrison, Gram Parsons, Otis Redding, songwriter Jimmy Reed,
Clarence White of the Byrds, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead's "Pig Pen,"
Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jeffrey (Hendrix's manager), and others. Since, the
deaths of John Lennon and Bob Marley have been succeeded by books exploring
the possible involvement of the CIA.
Brian Jones: "Merry Old England" is a non sequitar - the UK is one
of the most depressing places on earth. In the late 1960s, the shadow of
Big Brother fell on British youth and civil rights activists as ominously
as it did in the States. In London, the National Union of Students and the
National Council for Civil Liberties collected a dossier on police agents
who'd approached students to spy on other students. One of these cases
concerned John Bell, a former chairman of the Durham University
Conservative Association. Bell reported that he'd been visited by a
detective who attempted to recruit him to inform on student Leftists. Bell
rejected the offer and told the leader of a campus Socialist organization
about the incident. Bill Clinton is alleged to have also been courted by
the CIA at Oxford University, and recruited - to Operation CHAOS, the most
sweeping covert program in the history of the Agency, in fact - for the
same purpose.
Intelligence operations in the UK paralleled developments in the
U.S.. Robert Lashbrook, a representative of the Human Ecology Fund - the
notorious CIA front at Cornell that quietly disbursed grants to academic
researchers for illicit mind control experimentation - was then assigned to
the London station. Agents under Lashbrook's supervision slipped LSD to
English rock groups before performing without their prior knowledge, to
"study the drug's effects on their musical abilities."
Before long, some of the most popular rock acts in Britain were
scoring the mind control drug directly from Lashbrook's CIA colleagues.
The coroner's report called it "death by misadventure" on July 2,
1969. The Rolling Stone complained that police planted marijuana on him,
and he compared his handling by the law to the hounding of Lenny Bruce
(recalling the tactics detailed in the 1976 Congressional Intelligence
Committee report cite above). Two books published in 1994, Paint It Black
by Geoffrey Guiliano, and Terry Rawlings' Who Killed Christopher Robin?,
concluded that Jones had been murdered. England's Independent reported on
April 4, 1994: "Murder Claims Raise Doubts Over Rolling Stone's Death." The
27-year-old guitarist, who was an excellent swimmer, may have been
"deliberately drowned in the swimming pool of his country mansion by one of
his aides, Frank Thorogood." The books cited above agree that before Jones
drowned, Thorogood conned the musician out of thousands of pounds. Was he a
contract killer?
Keith Richards reflected, "some very weird things happened the
night Brian died. We had these chauffeurs working for us, and we tried to
find out. Some of them had a weird hold over Brian. I got straight into it
and wanted to know who was there and couldn't find out. The only cat I
could ask was the one I think who got rid of everybody, and did a whole
disappearing thing so that when the cops arrived, it was just an accident."
A worker hired by Jones to help out with renovations to his house
claims to be a witness to Jones' murder. Rock music historian R. Gary
Patterson:""Two of the workmen attacked Jones in the pool, holding his head
under the water. They paid little or no attention to his gasping and
violent struggle to breathe. When his body became still, the other party
goers left hurriedly. Reportedly, the workers threatened the other
witnesses to insure their silence. This incredible story has been
collaborated by at least three others who now claim to have been present"
(Patterson). One of the witnesses, Jones's friend Richard Cadbury,
immediately moved and left no forwarding address. Some of Jones's friends,
Patterson writes, "were asked to leave England immediately."
Phil Oaks: Wrote songs denouncing war. In 1974 he sang at Madison
Square Garden with Bob Dylan, the occasion: "An Evening with Salvadore
Allend�." The death of Phil Oaks was determined to be "death by hanging" in
April, 1976. Two years before, he'd had a bout of depression and bizarre
behavior that left him with a multiple personality, a psychological state
much explored by the CIA's mind control community.
Richard Farina: Folk singer and novelist, a close friend of Thomas
Pynchon. Married Mimi Baez, sister of Joan Baez - to the national security
state born. Joan Baez wrote in her autobiography, And a Voice to Sing With
(Signet, 1987), that when she was a young girl, "most of the bright young
Stanford scientists went off to Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the atomic
bomb was being developed. My father recognized the potential destructive
power of the unleashed atom even in those early days. So he took a job as a
research physicist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York." Cornell was
the home base of the CIA's mind control experiments, and Joan Baez a
self-described survivor of ritual child abuse, which employs a form of mind
control, trauma-based programming.
"Soon my father was invited to become Head of Operations Research
at Cornell. Exactly what the job entailed was classified information, but
he was offered a three-week cruise on an aircraft carrier as an
introduction to the project and promised a huge salary. As it turned out,
he would be overseeing Project Portrex, a vast amphibious exercise which
among other things involved testing fighter jets, then a relatively new
phenomenon. Millions of dollars would be poured into the project, about
which he was to know little and say less." Farina, who had married into a
national security family, was killed in a motorcycle crash.
Jimi Hendrix: Hendrix biographer Tony Brown started from scratch
in his investigation of a case beleagured by contradictory testimony. He
interviewed ambulance attendants, doctors and police officers. "The result
of this investigation," Brown reported, "was sent to the Attorney General's
office in February, 1992, in the hope that they would re-open the inquest
into Jimi's death. The evidence was so strong that they ordered Scotland
Yard detectives to conduct their own investigation. After months of
research and interviews with all concerned, they were quite confident that
the inquest would be re-opened. However, when the results were sent back to
Nicholas Lyle in the Attorney General's office, it was felt that it was no
longer in the public interest to re-open the original inquest" (Hendrix:
The Final Days, Rogan House, 1997).
Hendrix, pressured by the Black Panthers to make a political
statelement, threw his support to a targeted organization - 28 of them
were murdered, others imprisoned on ersatz charges - and declared "war" on
Big Brother in a 1969 magazine interview:
"Get [the] Black Panthers ... not to kill anybody, but to scare them.... I
know it sounds like war, but that's what's gonna have to happen. It has to
be a war.... You come back to reality and there are some evil folks around
and they want you to be passive and weak and peaceful so that they can just
overtake you like jelly on bread.... You have to fight fire with fire"
("Jimi Hendrix, Black Power and Money,"Teenset , January, 1969)."
This was no way to talk with military-industrial stalkers on the
prowl. From the Sunday Telegraph, December 12, 1993:
"The former girlfriend of Jimi Hendrix, the rock guitarist, spoke
for the first time yesterday about how she has succeeded in reopening the
investigation into his drug-related death 23 years ago.
"Kathy Etchingham has spent the past three years - almost as long
as she was Hendrix's live-in lover - investigating the circumstances
surrounding the star's death. A 34-page dossier she sent to Sir Nicholas
Lyell, the attorney-general, has prompted Scotland Yard to reopen the case
and may lead to a new inquest. In it she pointed to alleged inconsistencies
in statements given by Monika Dannemann, a German blonde who was Hendrix's
girlfriend at the time of his death.... The police will examine whether
there was any delay in calling an ambulance for Hendrix....
"Etchingham, 46, now married and a mother of two, said: At the time
of his death I didn't doubt what I was told. But then I began reading the
biographies and seeing interviews and I could see gaping holes."
