HELICOPTER CRASH AT TEST SITE
Conspiracy report on helicopter crash in July 1991 in which several Wackenhut employees were killed. The origin of this post is unclear. It was passed to me by steve@linex.com who says he picked it up from alt.alien.visitors. — Glenn Campbell, 8/6/95.

The following article comes from the ‘TC TECHNICAL CONSULTANT’,
Nov.-Dec., 1991 issue:
“The death of a journalist in West Virginia, plus the jailing of an alleged CIA computer consultant in Washington State may be elements of a much wider scandal that could have serious implications for the Bush White House in 1992. “What started out as an investigation of an apparent case of pirated software has grown to be a project involving hundreds of journalists all over the world. “The dead journalist, Joseph Daniel ‘Danny’ Casolaro was found dead August 10th in a motel room in West Virginia.
His wrists were slashed seven times on each wrist and a suicide note was found nearby. The only manuscript of his book, with accompanying notes, WAS MISSING. “The book, provisionally titled ‘The Octopus’, was meant to be an explosive expose of misdeeds by the Justice Department under the Reagan administration. Time Magazine also reported that Casolaro’s research centered on gambling and attempted arms deals at the Cabazon reservation near Indio
(California – Branton).
“Indeed, the scope of Casolaro’s investigation was so large that any one of a large number of areas of research could have been the trigger for a possible hit. “While authorities declared his death a suicide, his relatives definitely stated that Casolaro’s mental state was sound, indeed upbeat, after the completion of his book. “Casolaro started his work nearly two years before, investigating the bankrupting of a small computer software company called Inslaw, allegedly by the U.S. Justice Department. INSLAW, a company headed by Bill and Nancy Hamilton of Washington D.C., had developed a package known as PROMIS–short for Prosecutor’s Management Information System–to act as a case management tool for the Justice Department’s unwieldy work load.
“Inslaw President Bill Hamilton [NOT the well-known UFO researcher – Branton] has claimed that Ed Meese associate EARL BRIAN was given control of pirated versions of the PROMIS software by Meese to sell back to different U.S. government agencies for great profit. Two courts have so far agreed with Hamilton awarding an 8 million dollar judgement, but a higher court of appeal has quashed the award and the verdict, declaring that it was not the jurisdiction of the lower courts. As of October 9, the case has moved into the realm of the Supreme Court.
“EARL BRIAN OWNS UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL (UPI) and FINANCIAL NEWS NETWORK (FNN).
“According to a Washington man, who claims to have modified the cobol-based software for the CIA and other intelligence agencies, the software was a reward for Earl Brian’s role in arranging the so- called ‘October Surprise’ gambit, the alleged conspiracy to withhold the American hostages in Iran until after the 1980 election which saw Carter removed from power. The ‘October Surprise’ scandal has taken some time to emerge. “In a Paris meeting, President Bush is alleged to have met with Ali Akabar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammed Ali Rajai, the future President of Iran and Manucher Ghorbanifar, an Iranian arms dealer with connections to Mossad, according to Navy Captain Gunther Russbacher who claims to have flown Bush, William Casey–the CIA chief–and Donald Gregg, a CIA operative to that location. Russbacher, who made these allegations in May is now in jail on Terminal Island, convicted on the charge of impersonating a U.S. Attorney.
“The Washington man is MICHAEL RICONOSCIUTO who is now waiting for a trial in a Washington jail on conspiracy to sell drugs charges, charges which Riconosciuto claims are manufactured. Indeed, the charge made against Riconosciuto were made one week after Riconosciuto authored and signed an affidavit describing his role in modifying the pirated software. “The affidavit also claimed that he had been contacted by phone and threatened by PETER VIDENIEKS, a Justice Department employee and Customs official, who Riconosciuto alleged had intelligence ties, as to the possible consequences of his going public with certain information.
“According to Riconosciuto, Videnieks was a frequent visitor to the Cabazon Indian reservation near Palm Springs and visited with tribal manager, John P. Nichols. Nichols was in essence Riconosciuto’s boss in a number of enterprises conducted on reservation land and the PROMIS modification was just one of these projects.
According to Riconosciuto, in an interview with T.C. conducted from jail, the PROMIS software was modified to install a backdoor access for use by American intelligence services. The software was then sold to 88 different countries as a sort of ‘trojan horse’ package enabling us to access their intelligence systems. According to Riconosciuto these countries included Iraq and Libya. “Correspondence between Nichols and other companies, if authentic, indicates that Riconosciuto’s claims of his expertise in the area of electronics and armaments appear to be true. Marshall Riconoscuito, Michael’s father is a reputed former business partner of Richard Nixon.
“According to Riconosciuto, the fuzzy status of reservation land as ‘sovereign’ allowed elements of the CIA and organized crime to conduct business uniquely. “Among the projects worked on during this time were joint projects with WACKENHUT, a company loaded with former CIA and NSA personnel and business ventures with the Saudi Arabian royal family and other unusual projects. “A joint venture with Southern California Edison will soon be generating power for bio-mass drawn from local waste outlets.
Biological warfare projects were investigated with Stormont laboratories looking into the creation of ‘pathogenic viruses’ and enhanced fuel-air explosive weapons were created and tested in league with Meridian Arms at the NEVADA TESTING RANGE which matched the explosive power of nuclear devices. “These enhanced weapons gained their power from polarizing the molecules in the gas cloud by modification of the electric field, a technology developed from exploring Thomas Townsend Brown’s suppressed work, a knowledge which Riconosciuto claims he gained from working at LEAR in Reno, Nevada. “Riconosciuto is said to have worked on the enhanced fuel- air explosive weapons with Gerald Bull of Space Research Corporation. Bull, now deceased, later became an arms advisor to Saddam Hussein.
It is said that HUSSEIN POSSESSES THE FAE TECHNOLOGY.
“In July, Anson Ng, a reporter for the Financial Times of London was shot and killed in Guatemala. He had reportedly been trying to interview an American there named Jimmy Hughes, a one- time director of security for the Cabazon Indian Reservation secret projects. “In April, a Philadelphia attorney named Dennis Eisman was found dead, killed by a single bullet in his chest. According to a former federal official who worked with Eisman, the attorney was found dead in the parking lot where he had been due to meet with a woman who had crucial evidence to share substantiating Riconosciuto’s claims. “Both Eisman’s and Ng’s deaths were declared suicides by authorities. “Fred Alvarez, a Cabazon tribal leader who was in vocal opposition to the developments on the reservation, was found shot to death with two friends in 1981.
Their murder remains unsolved. “The leader of the House, Thomas Foley, announced last month that a formal inquiry will be initiated into the Inslaw case. Foley appointed Senator Terry Sanford as co-chairman of the joint congressional panel. Prior to his election, Senator Sanford was the attorney representing Earl Brian in his 1985 takeover bid for United Press International and was instrumental in appointing Earl Brian, a medical doctor, to the board of Duke Medical School, of which Sanford is President.
“However, despite repeated requests from journalists to produce photographs showing Riconosciuto together with Brian, and requests to produce his passport showing his alleged trip to Iran, he has not yet done so. Also Riconosciuto failed to be able to describe Peter Videnieks to CNN’s Moneyline program, claiming a medical condition prevented him from remembering clearly.
“This led one former intelligence operative to speculate that we may be witnessing a very sophisticated intelligence operation being played out in public. “Former F.B.I. Special Agent, Ted Gunderson, speaks for Riconosciuto’s credibility. Gunderson, who lives in Manhattan Beach, has worked with Riconosciuto for many years in his capacity as private investigator. “Together, according to Gunderson, they were responsible for thwarting a terrorist operation during the Los Angeles Olympics. According to Gunderson, Riconosciuto was well known in certain circles as a genius in almost all sciences.
“The so-called drug operation broken up in Washington State was an electrohydrodynamic mining operation claimed Gunderson, using Townsend Brown technology. A videotape viewed by this journalist revealed metallic powders and apparent processes unrelated to drug manufacture. Indeed, a government analysis of soil samples revealed the absence of drug contamination, but a high concentration of barium. Barium is often found in high voltage related work.
“Unsubstantiated information from an intelligence source claims that the current situation is the visible effect OF A WAR CURRENTLY GOING ON IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY between a group centered in the CIA called Aquarius (around a powerful center known as MJ-12) and a group known as COM-12 centered around Naval Intelligence. COM-12 is reputedly trying to sustain a rearguard action to sustain and preserve constitutional government and is deliberately LEAKING INFORMATION damaging to the former group.”
(Take note of William ‘Bill’ Cooper’s pro-constitution, anti-MJ/12 writings and his past association with high levels of Naval Intelligence – Branton)
In the same publication, same issue, there appeared a small article just following the one quoted above. Written by Thomas Zed, the article, titled “WACKENHUT’S CONNECTION WITH THE BLACK PROJECT WORLD” stated: “The Wackenhut company has a very close connection to the world of BLACK BUDGET PROJECTS.
Besides being connected with the Cabazon venture mentioned in this issue it is also responsible, according to jailed computer consultant Michael iconosciuto, FOR THE SECRET PROJECTS BEING UNDERTAKEN IN DULCE, NEW MEXICO where the JICARILLA INDIAN RESERVATION IS BEING SIMILARLY USED.
(Note: The Underground Labs near Dulce are alleged to be tied-in with the Department of Energy, Rand Corp, Los Alamos Labs, MJ-12 and other ‘secret government’ controlled military-industrial organizations. It is believed to be the largest underground laboratory of it’s kind in the United States, and perhaps the world – Branton)
“After sending two of my colleagues there recently AND RECEIVING CONFIRMATION THAT THERE WAS A TOP SECRET MILITARY TYPE INSTALLATION I decided to call the newspaper office and make an educated bluff.
“I identified myself as a freelance reporter from Los Angeles–and told the newspaper that I was doing a story on the Cabazon reservation biological warfare projects that had been undertaken there on behalf of the CIA. I told her that I had heard that there were similar things being done in Dulce and would like to know what was going on. “The official I spoke to BECAME FRIGHTENED and said, ‘I can’t talk to you about that! It would be very unprofessional of me to talk to you about that. You’ll have to speak to the President of the tribe.’
She then hung up. “I have yet to call back and ask the President of the tribe, but will report on that in the next issue. “Wackenhut is also responsible for security of a lot of UNDERGROUND FACILITIES in California and Nevada, including the notorious S-4 or Area 51 in Nevada where Townsend Brown flying disk technology (written about in a T.C. recent issue) has been flying and developing for decades. “A recent helicopter crash at the area, where two pilots and three security guards from Wackenhut flying in a Messerschmit BO-105 helicopter were killed was not at all accidental claimed Riconosciuto, who said that the individuals aboard the helicopter were traveling with sensitive documents. “Groups are now investigating Riconosciuto’s claims.
