FROM THE EDITOR,
Well what do you know? Michael Brescia
never existed as far as the Bureau of Prisons is concerned. Now
faithful readers of the old John Doe Times remember Mr. Brescia as the
tattooed right-hand guy to federal provocateur Andreas Carl Strassmeir at
Elohim City who was also a member of the Aryan Republican Army bank
robbery gang, and, in this humble investigator's opinion: John Doe #2.
Faithful readers will also recall how Mr. Brescia was given a free
pass by the FBI and allowed to walk the streets of Philadelphia armed with
a handgun long after his other bank robbery accomplices were dead or
jailed. Walked them, that is, until the John Doe Times and militia
volunteers (observed by British journalist Ambrose Evans Pritchard)
papered the town with "Unwanted by the FBI" posters. Very shortly
thereafter, Janet Reno pulled the John Doe #2 warrant and then issued the
pick-up order for Michael Brescia. Brescia was allowed to do a deal
for five years on the charge of carrying a bomb into a bank--which should
have been a mandatory 20 years. His trial and sentencing was covered
by the Philly papers, so I know I didn't dream his incarceration.
And now we have J.D. Cash's Freedom of Information Act request
(copied in full below) denied by the Bureau of Prisons on the grounds that
Michael Brescia never existed in their system!
So where is he?
Did Janet Reno take him home to Florida to work as a house boy?
Did he even go to prison? Or did he walk straight from Federal
Court into a witness protection program? And who's being protected
if he did? Or is this just another example of stonewalling by a
system desperate to keep the truth from coming out? We'll never know
until we find out the answer to the question: WHERE IS MICHAEL (JOHN
DOE #2) BRESCIA?
So call your congressman. Specifically, call
Congressman Dan Burton's office. As you will read below, Congressman
Burton is investigating federal informant abuses. Ask the
Congressman to follow up on the issues raised in J.D. Cash's letter to
him. And especially ask him to find out from an administration that
claims to be less corrupt than the last: WHERE IS MICHAEL BRESCIA
& WHY ARE THE FEDS HIDING HIS EXISTENCE?

"BLACK MASS" AT OKLAHOMA CITY Below, gentle reader, you will
find the latest installments of a much larger story covered in the book
"Black Mass" about the symbiotic relationship between the FBI and the
Boston mob. The Wheeler hit, in particular, shows how corrupted the
FBI was and is in allowing its favored (read "career-building") informants
to commit any crime, including murder, as long as the information keeps
flowing onto the pages of their 302s. The fact that Larry Potts and
Weldon Kennedy, both key FBI players in the OKC debacle & coverup,
were senior supervising agents in Boston at this time makes their
subsequent conduct easier to understand. The FBI is just a much a
criminal conspiracy as the people they're supposed to guard us
from--whether they're Boston mobsters or racist terrorists.
The
fact that Rep. Dan Burton of Illinois is now looking into this outrageous
conduct should give us hope, but only when the truth comes out about
OKC will all of its hideous details be understood. Read the articles
below, then check out J.D. Cash's recent letter to Congressman Burton.
And after that, call Congressman Burton's office and urge them to
follow up on the questions posed by John Cash.

No apology from agent in Salvati case
But he acknowledges a man's innocence
By Shelley Murphy, Globe
Staff, 5/4/2001
ASHINGTON - After spending 30 years in prison for
a murder that he didn't commit, Joseph Salvati received profuse apologies
and promises of compensation from members of Congress yesterday, but not a
word of remorse from the FBI agent who helped put him away.
''What
do you want, tears?'' sneered retired agent H. Paul Rico, 76, as he
conceded during a congressional hearing that he now believes Salvati was
framed by a vengeful hit man turned government witness for a 1965 gangland
murder.
''I believe the FBI handled it properly,'' Rico said.
When asked by Representative Christopher Shays, Republican of
Connecticut, if he cared that Salvati's wife, Marie, had to raise their
four children alone because FBI reports authored by Rico that would have
helped Salvati prove his innocence were never turned over to the defense,
Rico replied, ''It would probably be a nice movie or something, but I
don't know.
''I do not know everything that Joe Salvati did in his
life,'' said Rico. ''I don't know if Joe Salvati is innocent of
everything.''
But after listening to the Salvatis and three defense
lawyers testify yesterday, Rico said he now believes Salvati is not guilty
of the murder that put him in prison for three decades. ''I was not
convinced he was innocent until today,'' said Rico.
The surprising
testimony came as the House Committee on Government Reform launched its
first day of hearings into the FBI's handling of controversial informants
- including gangsters James ''Whitey'' Bulger and Stephen Flemmi - in its
quest to dismantle the Mafia. Rico testified against the advice of his
lawyer, who advised him to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against
self-incrimination.
Rico is a prime target of a federal grand jury
in Massachusetts that has been investigating wrongdoing by former FBI
agents.
Salvati and his wife, who both gave an emotional account of
their last three decades that was halted by tears, were clearly disgusted
by Rico's testimony.
''He wouldn't apologize,'' Salvati said. ''He
abused his power and he ruined 30 years of my life. It took 34 years for
him to say that I was innocent. He could have said that 34 years ago.''
The committee chaired by Indiana Republican Dan Burton heard
overwhelming evidence that hit man Joseph ''The Animal'' Barboza lied
about who participated in the 1965 slaying of small-time hoodlum Edward
''Teddy'' Deegan in Chelsea, after striking a deal with the FBI to testify
against local Mafiosi.
Called to testify were attorney Victor
Garo, who spent 26 years trying to get Salvati's conviction overturned,
and prominent criminal defense lawyers F. Lee Bailey, who once represented
Barboza, and Joseph Balliro, who said one of Deegan's killers, Vincent
Flemmi, had confessed to him.
''The FBI has a nest of ruthless,
cold-blooded, psychopathic killers,'' said Bailey, noting that Bulger,
Flemmi, and Flemmi's brother all allegedly killed people while working as
informants. **************************************** NJDT: TWO NESTS,
actually. ****************************************
''The federal
government determined that it was more important for them to protect
informants than it was for innocent people to be framed,'' said Garo.
''The federal government determined that Joe Salvati's life was
expendable.'' ************************************************
NJDT: Wait till you get to the truth of the sting/coverup of OKBOMB.
Those Fibbies, some of whom (Weldon Kennedy and Larry Potts) cut
their informant-teeth in Boston, are willing still to consider the 168
dead as "expendable" on the altar of their careers.
************************************************
Salvati was freed
from prison in 1997 after Governor William Weld commuted his sentence amid
mounting doubts about his guilt. In January, a state judge tossed out the
convictions of Salvati and co-defendant Peter Limone after newly uncovered
FBI documents suggested that the two men, and two others who died in
prison, were wrongly convicted.
The reports revealed that two days
before the slaying, informants told Rico that Deegan was going to be
killed. After the murder, Rico's informants identified Barboza and four
other men as the killers - and indicated that Barboza was lying about the
involvement of Salvati, Limone, and the two other men.
Another FBI
report revealed that Barboza's close friend, Vincent Flemmi, had been
involved in the slaying, but Barboza was lying to protect him.
Flemmi,
now dead, was the brother of Stephen Flemmi, a longtime FBI informant
recruited by Rico in 1965.
Balliro, who represented one of Salvati's
co-defendants, said the defense never had a chance because FBI agents took
the stand and gave credibility to Barboza's account of the murder.
In a written statement to the committee, FBI Director Louis J. Freeh
said, ''These allegations that law enforcement personnel, including the
FBI, `turned a blind eye' to exculpatory information and allowed an
innocent man to serve 30 years of a life sentence are alarming and warrant
thorough investigation.''
Freeh said the FBI's role in the
investigation of Deegan's murder that led to Salvati's conviction is being
investigated by the same task force that led to the 1999 federal
racketeering indictment of Bulger's handler, retired FBI agent John
Connolly.

To: Congressman Dan Burton
From: JD Cash,
Investigative Reporter McCurtain Daily Gazette
Dear Congressman:
Just last night, I learned of your committee's hearings into informant
practices by federal law enforcement. My hat is off to you, sir. During my
investigation into the OKC bombing, the issue came up, often. Our policies
are out of control. I would suggest three more areas of inquiry. Carol E.
Howe is a young woman that I dug up years ago. Ms. Howe had been working
under contract as an informant for the Tulsa office of the BATF before the
bombing. She provided superb intelligence on activities at a neo-Nazi
terrorist training facility in eastern Oklahoma, known as Elohim City.
After I wrote that Ms. Howe had warned of a plot to bomb the Murrah
building, she was indicted. Eventually Ms. Howe was found
