GANNONGATE
I'm just asking
By John Steinberg | RAW STORY COLUMNIST
There are two basic themes that have dominated my political thoughts for the last few months. One has been the neglected cesspool that is the Jeff Gannon story. (For a time, I sent regular emails to Raw Story's capo that consisted of nothing but "GannongateGannongateGannongate.") The other has been the plumbing of the darker corners of President Bush's primitive, dystopic psyche, which has proven fertile columnar ground. I have touched on Junior's Oedipal fixation and his sadism. I have explored his feelings of guilt at his unearned wealth and his messianic pretensions. (And there may well be more where they come from. My current reading list consists of Richard Hofstadter's Anti-intellectualism in American Life and Justin Frank's Bush on the Couch, a juxtaposition that may be too obvious even for me.)
If the content of my columns has been regularly drawn to a just a few subjects, my technique has also followed a fairly consistent pattern. I like to examine a couple of seemingly unconnected facts and present an unconventional hypothesis that explains them both. I don't necessarily claim the hypothesis is correct; I just ask a "what if?" and let you decide.
Raw Story has reported on the records recently released by the Secret Service showing that JimmyJeff GannonGuckert visited the White House more than 200 times over a period stretching from February of 2003 - well before the start of his stint publishing other people's stories under his own byline as a "reporter" for Talon News - and his banishment in February of this year. (Our intrepid whiffleballer insists he is merely "on hiatus" from the White House press room, and assumes that the reason he was not invited to this year's White House Correspondent's Dinner is that "Probably many who would want to extend such an invitation already assume I will be in attendance.")
Those records show some remarkable facts, which lead to some intriguing questions. JimmyJeff visited the White House on more than 20 occasions when there was no White House press conference held. The Secret Service records also disclose that there were numerous days upon which he entered but never signed out, left but never signed in, or was inside the White House several hours longer than the day's press gaggle lasted.
These facts have not been satisfactorily explained, which only feeds the kind of ugly speculation that gives tabloid journalism a bad name, and gives me yet another column that practically writes itself. As far as I know, JimmyJeff has never denied having been a male escort. (He only coyly tells us, much like our President does, that he has "made mistakes in his past." Without elocuting the sins in his sordid past, GannonGuckert still insists that said past should not besmirch his reputation in his subsequent endeavors as a plagiarist.
But I digress. Fact "A" to be harmonized today is JimmyJeff's remarkable string of unexplained presences within the seat of our Executive power. These sojourns only feed rumors that began circulating as soon as Gannongate broke: was he sleeping with Ken Mehlman? Scott McClellan? Karl Rove?
But on to seemingly unrelated fact "B." A number of websites and blogs have compiled a rather remarkable collection of photographs of George W. Bush displaying what I can only characterize as a rather fetishistic Presidential interest in the scalps of bald men. (  http://juliusblog.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_juliusblog_archive.html ) And there are a number of remarkable pictures of our self-styled Texas Rancher in Chief holding hands with Arab men. (See, e.g., here and here.)
I consider myself an open-minded, socially progressive, sensitive hetero guy. I cried when I read The Kite Runner; I cried watching Field of Dreams. I have hugged male friends. I admit these things. But I am reasonably sure that I have never rubbed a bald man's head. And even I would hesitate to walk hand-in-hand with an adult male. Not that there is anything wrong with it, if you go in for that sort of thing. But if I thought my livelihood and legacy both depended on the support of NASCAR dads, I'd eat worms before I let myself be photographed scalp-rubbing or prince-holding.
Which brings me to seemingly unconnected special bonus fact "C": looking at all of these pictures recently called to mind the now-infamous footage of a daring Bill Clinton embracing Monica Lewinsky when he had a photo op with a crew of White House interns. It was as if Clinton wanted to say, "If I was having sex with this woman, do you think I would do THIS?"
(Cue sound of dime dropping.)
Gannongate, meet George Bush.
We know Bush has a Village People-like thing for uniforms; we know that HotMilitaryStud claimed to have been in the Marines. (It appears JimmyJeff lied about his military record, but authenticity has always been optional for our Connecticut cowboy.) We know Bush has a thing for bald men; Gannon, of course has left nothing to the imagination regarding the extent to which he shaves areas other than his face. (Note: link not work safe, unless your name is Jim West.) There are rumors that Bush was, shall we say, sexually inclusive in his fraternity days; we don't know much about GannonGuckert's frat exploits, but as far as I know he has never denied being gay.
Granted, the evidence for the hypothesis I tease from A, B and C is so thin that "circumstantial" would be a great leap forward in credibility. But in the pantheon of liberal fantasies, this must stand as the best of all possible worlds:
What if the reason JimmyJeff spent so much time in the White House despite being manifestly unqualified to be there (and who else fits that description?) was a sexual relationship between GannonGuckert and George W. Bush?
I'm just asking.

Though I do not wish to make this into a witchhunt, because I think homosexuality is actually normal for humanity and not an exception. I think oppression of sexuality especially out of religious guilt is actually a sin and imposing sexaul behavior or act on another without consent is just wrong. I have a problem with people who oppress others because of their religion and guilt to conceal their own sexuality. Many in the past have said Bush is a homophobic closset gay. Kitty Kelly way before the Gannon-gate situation exploded on the Blogs claimed that Bush was still dealing with his past homosexual experiences. Lets face it the man is a dry drunk gay-bashing creep who can not deal with his natural tendancy for sexual companionship with men.
Kitty Kelly Bush Book Rumors

The Kitty Kelly Bush family book is coming in less then two weeks, and the rumors dem spreading. Wild, unsubstantiated rumors. Just the way I like them. The juiciest might be about Dubya's 'special friend' a mayor of an unnamed Tennessee city and of unnamed gender...
Read them all in the extended entry and treat as utterly suspect. And feel free to speculate on the book's impact. Kelly tends to bring out the scandal and make it sell bucketloads, I'm hearing 600,000 first printing...
Diaries :: Abe's diary ::
From an unsourced Indymedia post. (how is that for unsubstantiated!?)
Slash-and-burn celebrity biographer who revealed Sinatra's mother performed coathanger abortions and Lady Di was a pushover, is set to demolish Anti-Christ George W. Bush with Sept. 14 release of Bush Family biography.
The biography is obviously unauathorized.
It reveals alleged sex offenses against minors by Dubya's father.
It reveals the use of the White House by male hookers.
It reveals crooked business deals by every member of the Bush clan, including the oh-so-holy first lady, Laura "Round Heels" Bush.
It reveals how former first lady Babs Bush is almost a practicing witch.
It reveals how Dubya has had a very special friend in the mayor of a Tennessee city, who has has cohabited the Texas ranch many times.
It reveals the details of embarassing photographs of Bush that actually caused U.S. Govt. agents to perpetrate the anthrax mailings to destroy the building of National Enquirer and kill photo editor Stevens.
It reveals how you can get surprisingly close to America's Darth Vader.
It reveals the incredible relationship between Dubya and some famous televangelists.
It reveals intimate details gleaned from persons close to Bush in Crawford, Texas.
It reveals the filth of Bush's ancestors, the most shocking family in US history.
It reveals how Bush plans additional wars for oil, under the pretense of fighting terrorism and defending Israel -- these are just pretenses, the real reason is we are running out of oil.
It reveals Dubya's oedipus complex with Babs, his love/hate relationship with his father, some surprising medical details about Duby, including an explanation of why he is so burnt out.
It reveals who runs Bush, and it is not Round Heels.
It reveals murders committed by the Bush family.
It reveals why George W. Bush is the greatest threat the US and the world has ever faced.
This book makes Fahrenheit 9/11 look like pablum. It is real raw meat.

This is about a decades old call boy paedophile ring and the power elite that run the contry while preaching family valuues etc. These kids are kidnapped and forced into these call-boy rings. AND HUNTER THOMPSON WAS AWARE OF IT AND WRITING ABOUT IT AND SOME CLAIM there was a HST book in the works on this very subjuct. This story is about motive not Kitty Kelly sensationalism. This is about why the elites would want to silence HST NOW. NOW is important cause of the Gannongate and Johnny Gosch and the Franklin scandal etc.

I wish you cared about the rape of children for the kid rape victims' sakes and not just because they're a good tool for bludgeoning Republicans. What do you want people to do and how will doing that help prevent more organized child rape rings?

Perfect simian mind control begins at a very early age, and the students of mind control science, such as the bush international crime family, employ mind control consumately...most of the war for past century has been simply excuse for human experimentation on vast scale, to hell with consent....bush scums grandaddy was busted by roosevelt for helping to finance hitler and that was just one instance. Once the developers of modern mind control were done with hitler, once he had given them what they were after, he was of course discarded, and the remnant science saved and brought to ussr usa, thereby ensuring longterm warlike situation and further mind control of the mass through stress....The obrien stuff from huntsville is horrible but as far as monarch victims go and all the other mk programs, there really are no holds barred in these programming experimentations, and the earlier the deviation and perversion of the Id-entity through violence/sex happens, the easier it is for the perps, and the more thorough. These drones are highly valued among the power elite and are exploited for pleasure or any other reason up to and including self-destruction. Many serve with pride.

A number of books have been written by or about mk ultra victims, mind control victims, and victims of black-ops pedophilia rings, etc. The complicit media has largely been successful in marginalizing these books and their authors, thus keeping readership low. However, I strong suspect that, in the case of Hunter Thompson, the readership of his new book would have been thousands of times larger than for all the other authors combined.
One thing Hunter Thompson was, was a very good writer. He had a gift for captiviting large audiences of readers with his combination of witt, hyperbole, and reality. Had he published a book on Washington pedophilia rings, his book would have been both a political expose and a social/cultural commentary/documentary.
Given his past reputation as a writer - with an almost cult-like following - his audience for such a book would have been hugh. Many people would have read the book simply because Hunter wrote it. Thus, it is quite believable that he was killed before he could complete such a book. (And, in politics, it is what people believe that counts, not what is true - as Hunter knew so well.)

Still getting over the death of Hunter S. Thompson. As an avid conspiracy theorist, I'm still not calling his death a murder, but this article reminds me of an OpEd piece I read a hear an a half or so ago. Check this out while the link still exists:
