Lying about Bombing

2026-06-15 David Martin

On Monday, February 14, a very powerful bomb in Beirut killed former Lebanese prime minister, Rafiq Hariri and 13 other people. No evidence has been produced as to who might have placed the bomb. That did not stop the major American news media from pointing the finger of suspicion at the government of Bashar Assad of Syria, even as they were reporting the news of the tragedy, and the United States government has withdrawn its ambassador from Syria in “retaliation,” as if Bush and company were certain that Syria was to blame. On Wednesday, February 16, 2005, the “liberal opposition” newspaper, The Washington Post, surged to the front of the pack of hounds baying for strong measures against Syria with…

Seeds of Permanent Conflict in Palestine

2026-06-112026-06-11 David Martin

Wars themselves are bad enough, with all the death and misery that they visit upon those who fight them and get caught up in them. The consequences of the wars, though, can be as bad or worse. Had Russia not participated in World War I, it’s a virtual certainty that the Communists would not have taken over that country. That war and the peace arrangement that followed it were primarily responsible for the even larger World War II. Had there been no World War II, the Communists would have had a very small chance of coming to power in the most populous country on earth, China. A less well-known consequence of World War I is that it planted the seed…

Remember the Liberty!

2026-06-082026-06-08 David Martin

Most Americans have never heard of the Israeli, Ephraim “Eppie” Evron. A half century ago, in May of 1967, he was deputy chief of mission in the Israeli embassy in Washington and in that ostensible capacity had a meeting with President Lyndon Johnson in the Oval Office on May 26. From all indications, as we learn from Phillip Nelson in Remember the Liberty!: Almost Sunk by Treason on the High Seas, Evron was likely the real power in the embassy as the top Mossad official there. An even more interesting thing about Evron was that he was “one of the main conspirators” in the infamous Lavon Affair, a failed plot in 1954 by Israel to bomb U.S. and British facilities…

Devin Nunes and the USS Liberty

2026-06-072026-06-08 David Martin

“Wow, a gutsy congressman not afraid to let the truth hang out on this delicate issue.” Yes, the subject of the quote is Devin Gerald Nunes, the former Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California’s 22nd congressional district in the Central Valley, but the act of courage for which he is being praised is not the creation of the now-famous four-page memorandum concerning the nefarious actions of the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice under President Barack Obama. Rather, the quote is from dissident retired CIA analyst, Ray McGovern in reference to the remarks that Nunes made as he pinned a Silver Star on long-retired Navy Petty Officer Terry Halbardier on May 27, 2009: “The government…

The American (Establishment) Catholic on Forrestal’s Death

2026-06-06 David Martin

On his Wikipedia page under “Religion” in the box on the upper right, we find “Catholic” for America’s first secretary of defense, James Forrestal. Indeed, culturally at least, Forrestal would seem to be the epitome of an Irish-American Roman Catholic. His father was an immigrant from Ireland and his mother had aspirations for young James to become a priest. But, according to biographers Townsend Hoopes and Douglas Brinkley, Forrestal had broken with his Catholic faith at the time that he left Princeton University, although they interpret his thwarted request to have Monsignor Maurice Sheehey of Catholic University come visit him when he was confined to Bethesda Naval Hospital before going out a 16th floor window of the main tower there…

The Forrestal Murder and the News Media

2026-06-032026-06-03 David Martin

Fool’s Paradise Welcome to the American aquarium Where life can be lived without care. If you swim only where you’re supposed to, You won’t even know that you’re there. But thanks to my curiosity An upsetting thing came to pass: I followed the trail of a mystery And I discovered the glass. I wrote those lines in 1998. At that point I knew virtually nothing about James V. Forrestal, whom President Harry Truman had appointed as America’s first Secretary of Defense in 1947 after the creation of the Department of Defense by the National Security Act of the same year. I had recently read David McCullough’s biography entitled simply Truman, which has a short section on Forrestal’s decline and “suicide,”…

YouTube: Who Murdered James Forrestal? The First UFO Cover-Up

2026-04-22 David Martin

Scare Mail How desperate are they getting to cover up the Zionist assassination of America’s first Secretary of Defense? Who is this actor? The fact that he fails to take credit right up front for what he is putting out is very telling. His script writers also erase all doubt that the UFO business is a big subterfuge to steer the public away from the Zionists, who were almost certainly doing what they are notorious for. Even before the suspicious death of James Forrestal, the leading opponent among many within the Truman administration of the creation of the state of Israel, the Zionists had wracked up a pretty big known assassination score, starting with Lord Moyne in 1944, ninety-one people, primarily British officials, with the bombing of…

Noam Chomsky, Jeffrey Epstein, and 9/11

2026-01-262026-01-26 David Martin

JAN 26, 2026 Somehow I missed the news when it came out last November: Emails show convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had a tight friendship with MIT professor Noam Chomsky that spanned discussions about vacation, politics and included an apparent letter of support from Chomsky…. A WBUR review of the emails shows despite Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute, Chomsky stayed in close contact with Epstein into at least 2017. Chomsky is professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, noted activist and philosopher. The apparently close social relationship between the two men, 25 years apart in age, one from the academic, the other from the financial world, only came…

Confessions of a Murdering Sovereign American Hero

2025-10-07 David Martin

I was going through some old files looking for something else, when I stumbled across the touching, powerful statement that bears the title we see here. It comes from a newsletter of Sheila M. Reynolds, a name I don’t recognize. I do recognize the name of the author of the “Confessions,” Brian Mahoney. My recollection is that Mahoney got in touch with me after hearing me recite political poetry on the Jaz McKay radio show from the 50,000-watt station in Cleveland WWWE. Mahoney was apparently listening on his AM radio from his cell in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. For his protection, I never identified him by name, but my recollection is that it was he who called my attention to…

U.S. Ratchets Up Censorship

2025-09-242025-09-26 David Martin

Welcome to the Amazon aquarium, Where you can swim without care. If you only go where you’re supposed to, You won’t even know that you’re there. But thanks to my contrariness, An upsetting thing came to pass, Determined to showcase the truth, I discovered the glass. Here are a couple of customer book reviews of interest that are currently on the Amazon.com web site: He really cares a great deal about giving all of the various points of view… Having arrived at this subject matter by way of a recommendation of DC Dave (David Martin), I was a newcomer to the writing of the author Mike Campbell.

Mr. Robinson

2025-09-232025-09-25 David Martin

See Buelahman’s video. What’s up with you, Mr. Robinson? You picked a strange time to compose a billet doux. Oo, oo, oo. It’s very odd, Mr. Robinson, Just when anyone with sense would be lying low. They say your own words convict you of the crime. What luck for them when it seems they have so little else! They’re out to nail a patsy every time. This time they say the patsy nailed himself. What’s up with you, Mr. Robinson? You picked a strange time to compose a billet doux. Oo, oo, oo. It’s very odd, Mr. Robinson, Just when anyone with sense would be lying low. You pulled off a long-range shot without a gun, And where is the…

Arguably the Most Important Historical Book of the Century

2025-09-192025-09-19 David Martin

Amazon customer review of The Assassination of James Forrestal on September 8, 2025 This book is the seminal work on James Forrestal’s death, and in many ways his life and plans after his government service. Martin obtained the crucial “Willcutts Report” from the Navy, which confirmed long-hidden facts about Forrestal’s death, most importantly that the verdict of suicide was never actually medically or legally established, that there was broken glass in Forrestal’s room suggesting a physical struggle, and that the Greek prose transcription supposedly triggering Forrestal’s suicide was not written in his own handwriting. Martin also presents the remarkable finding that Forrestal’s driver and Bethesda hospital employees were forced to transfer out of Washington by the Navy immediately following Forrestal’s death,…

What Thomas Merton’s Authorized Biographer Revealed and What He Concealed

2025-09-042026-02-03 David Martin

Catholic Monk Thomas Merton, famous mainly for his unexpectedly wildly popular 1948 memoir, The Seven Storey Mountain, and in trouble with the U.S. government because of his anti-Vietnam War writings, died suddenly in Thailand in 1968. His biography, authorized by, and with the cooperation of, Merton’s home abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, was published in 1984. At that point, essentially all that the public knew—or thought they knew—about Merton’s death was what John Wheeler, the Associated Press reporter based in Bangkok, had written in his wire service report the day after the death, and what Brother Patrick Hart of the Gethsemani Abbey had written in 1973 in the postscript to The Asian Journal of Thomas Merton. Wheeler, citing anonymous “Catholic sources”…

The Vince Foster-Russia Collusion Hoax Connection

2025-08-052025-08-05 David Martin

In a word, the connection, which would seem to be an odd one, can be found in the major publicity role played by Deep State operative Michael Isikoff in the cover-up of the murder of Bill Clinton’s deputy White House counsel, Vincent W. Foster, Jr. and in the outrageous hoax that Donald Trump was elected President in 2016 with the knowing assistance of the Russian government. Let us start with the scandal that is currently in the news. Mark Vargas of the Illinois Review sums up Isikoff’s initial and his continuing propagation of the collusion hoax with his opening two paragraphs in which he characterizes the man as nothing but an “FBI mouthpiece.” The narrative that the Donald Trump campaign…

The Jeffrey Epstein-Vince Foster Connection?

2025-07-202025-07-22 David Martin

[Kenneth] Starr was also [Alexander] Acosta’s mentor at the Washington office of Kirkland & Ellis, a large law firm where Acosta worked as a newly minted lawyer in the 1990s. A former prosecutor suggested [Jeffrey] Epstein’s addition of Starr to his defense team was key to Acosta’s decision to putting the kibosh on the federal prosecution. “Acosta is pretending the failure to prosecute was routine,” the former prosecutor told Newsweek, asking for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. “But that’s bullshit. What happened here was completely and totally out of the main. Prosecutors wanted badly to prosecute this guy because he was an unrepentant perpetrator and child molester who was not going to stop absent significant incarceration. That Acosta…

RFO Newsmax Has Huge Stock Price Increase after IPO

2025-04-022025-04-03 David Martin

The “IPO” abbreviation here is the familiar one, “initial public offering,” referring to the first sale of stock to the public by a company. “RFO” is one of our own coinage, meaning “rival fake opposition.” Newsmax made its stock available to the public for the first time just last Friday, and it has taken off like a rocket. When it comes to fake opposition to the long-dominant liberal mainstream media, it might be something of an exaggeration at this point to call Newsmax a rival to the big one, which is Fox News. I know that I find Newsmax quite boring and hard to watch compared to Fox, and the numbers at Adweek, though a bit difficult to decipher, tell…

Checking Microsoft Copilot on Thomas Merton’s Death

2025-03-082025-03-10 David Martin

Here is how Wikipedia describes Microsoft Copilot in its opening paragraph: Microsoft Copilot is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Microsoft. Based on the GPT-4 series of large language models, it was launched in 2023 as Microsoft’s primary replacement for the discontinued Cortana. I had never even heard of Cortana, so after an email correspondent had sent me a snippet of his experience using Copilot to inquire about the May 22, 1949, death of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, I decided to give it a spin on another death mystery that I happen to know a thing or two about, that of the famous Trappist monk, Thomas Merton, who, according to popular lore, died of accidental electrocution by a…

The Ballad of Patrick Knowlton

Headline: Witness in [Vince] Foster death loses conspiracy appeal Washington Times, January 9, 2001, p. A7 Before he’d arrived at the end of the line A little publicity would have been fine, Shedding some light and putting some heat Upon all those justices’ honorable feet. Patrick Knowlton, The key to the Foster case. Patrick Knowlton, The man the press erased. But they wait till the court in their wisdom refuse To give him a hearing to bring us the news. It’s a story, alas, that is getting quite old; A citizen’s wronged; then he’s out in the cold, And once it’s too late, the public is told. Patrick Knowlton, The key to the Foster case.

Illegal Israel

2024-03-042024-03-04 David Martin

More Money for Israel Fuel beneath a cauldron of hate At the heart of the Middle East mess; Protecting an ethnic-supremacist state, Defending its right to oppress. With the current wanton slaughter of Palestinians in which the state of Israel is currently engaged, it’s almost enough to give outlaws a bad name. Even NBC News puts the current death toll in the war in the small area of Gaza at 30,000, and anyone can see from the nature of the destruction of housing complexes, hospitals, schools, churches, and refugee camps, that most of the victims are Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children. The fact of the matter, though, is that Israel is, indeed, an outlaw state and it has been…

Lawrence of Arabia and Yevgeny Prigrozhin

2023-09-022026-01-08 David Martin

Most people find it quite easy to believe that the airplane crash that killed Yevgeny Prigrozhin, the leader of the mercenary Wagner Group, who had led a mutiny against the Russian government, was no simple accident. In fact, word has leaked from U.S. intelligence that an intentional explosion brought the airplane down and that President Vladimir Putin was behind it. The CIA would have some familiarity with such methods. The contrived “accident” is right there in their assassination manual as an expedient form of secret assassination, allowing the perpetrator to deny responsibility for something deemed not to be a murder at all and attracting little attention. An airplane crash is not on their list of contrived accidents, but it takes…
