Danny Casolaro’s OctopusPart II of ‘Jeffrey Epstein & El Chapo’ | |
Traditional mainstream media reporters will keep their sources “off the record” – meaning they will not name them or attribute information given to them by one or more persons. I am not a traditional mainstream media reporter and I am working on what is arguably the biggest true crime story of the century. For the purposes of transparency and for my safety I name my sources. William Hamilton is one of my sources. Hamilton is the CEO of Inslaw who created the Promis software. If the name sounds familiar it’s because Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine Maxwell’s father) played a large part in the history of Promis. | |

One of the documents from Bill Hamilton:“A mutual friend of Danny Casolaro and my wife and me, a federal computer procurement expert who had collaborated in the past with Casolaro on investigations of federal computer procurement fraud, suggested in August 1990 that Casolaro investigate the INSLAW Affair. He began his full-time investigation in August 1990 and was found dead 12 months later in his hotel room in Martinsburg, West Virginia where he had gone for a final, follow-up meeting with sources on the INSLAW Affair, including Peter Videnieks, the former Justice Department Contracting Officer on the PROMIS software, U.S. Army Special Forces Intelligence Major Joseph Cuellar, someone from Senator Byrd's office and someone from the IRS' national computer center in Martinsburg. About a year after Casolaro's death, I began receiving, through an intermediary, information from an active-duty U.S. intelligence officer whose identity I was never told. Each time INSLAW later had an opportunity later on to discover the truth of something provided by this source, it was invariably true and accurate. One of the things we were told by the source was that there was a small blond maid at the Sheraton Hotel where Casolaro was found dead in his room who provided an eye-witness description of a man she saw exiting Casolaro's hotel room immediately before hotel staff entered the room and discovered Casolaro's dead body. The first attachment is an exchange of letters between INSLAW Counsel Charles R. Work in early 1994 and Deputy Associate Attorney General John Dwyer on an important admission by FBI Special Agent Scott Erskine at Work's law firm during a meeting that had just taken place there between my wife and me, three for INSLAW's trial lawyers, and John Dwyer, Scott Erskine, and a Criminal Division prosecutor who were at that time purporting to investigate Casolaro's death under the auspices of Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell. For Background Purposes Only, Please: The three INSLAW trial lawyers were each experienced former federal prosecutors, each of whom had witnessed what Charles Work had written about to John Dwyer, who, of course, had also been present during the meeting in question. As reflected in the attached correspondence, Dwyer tried to deny the fact that the FBI agent had confirmed during the meeting the claim about the maid eye witness whose testimony, of course, suggests that Casolaro was the victim of foul play rather than the victim of a suicide. The exchange of letters also reveals that a former long-term CIA forensic pathologist had confirmed to INSLAW important facts about the chemical substance the same U.S. intelligence source claimed had been injected into the top of Casolaro's spine to deaden the nerves below his head while Casolaro was being interrogated about the location of every copy of computer printouts that Casolaro had obtained from a PROMIS-derivative U.S. intelligence domestic spying database system known as "Main Core." Neither the U.S. Department of Justice nor the Martinsburg, West Virginia authorities has ever disclosed the existence of the eyewitness maid. Moreover, to this day, all of the Martinsburg, West Virginia police investigation records about Casolaro's death are allegedly sequestered at the secret request of the U.S. Department of Justice. The second attachment is a handwritten affidavit from someone named William Turner claiming to have been storing for Casolaro in his home safe in Winchester, Virginia copies of very sensitive computer printouts that Casolaro had obtained through the assistance of Alan Standorf, a civilian employee of NSA at its Vint Hill, Virginia facility. The computer printouts, I believe, were from the Main Core domestic surveillance database system. By the way, Alan Standorf, the NSA civilian, was, according to contemporaneous articles in the Washington Post, found beaten to death in early January 1991, approximately eight months before Casolaro's own death, on the floor of the back seat of his own car in a parking lot at Washington's National Airport, a murder the NSA reportedly claimed it had been unable to solve. The PROMIS-derivative Main Core database system is the repository for a subset of intelligence data gathered in many other PROMIS-derivative U.S. intelligence database systems about American citizens whom the government deems to be potential trouble-makers. The Main Core database system was ostensibly created for hand-off to the U.S. Army and the Defense Intelligence Agency in the event of a national catastrophe and the imposition of martial law but the same Main Core database system is allegedly accessed by the White House to support so-called "dirty tricks,": including political blackmail of members of Congress, federal judges, journalists, and so forth. The final attachment is a late 1999 posting on the Internet by someone named Michael Levy about a longer posting he had read on the Internet the same year about the use of encrypted communications by the White House National Security Council staff to access the Main Core database system administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency at one of its computer centers. I was told in 2001 by a former very senior U.S. intelligence official that there was another U.S. intelligence use of PROMIS I had not yet discovered, that its involves something so seriously wring that money alone cannot cure the problem, and that unless I first discovered that additional intelligence application of PROMIS the government may never compensate INSLAW for stealing its PROMIS software and trying to destroy the Company to preclude its ability to litigate the government's theft of its PROMIS software.” | |
Danny Casolaro | |
Danny Casolaro was a freelance investigative journalist who was working on a story about guns, drugs, mobsters and spooks. The interlocking parts of the labyrinth included PROMIS – the compromised software that Robert Maxwell played a role in selling, the BCCI banking scandal, the Iran-Contra scandal, Ronald Reagan’s October surprise, the Cabazon Indian tribe in the desert near Indio, California, and drugs. Cartel-type drugs. It was a story that was too true to tell and on August 10, 1991 at the age of 44 Casolaro’s body was found in the bathtub of the Sheraton Hotel in West Virginia. His wrists were slashed 10-12 times. The scene was gruesome with blood splattered everywhere. His briefcase with his detailed notes was missing. A man had been seen leaving his hotel room by a maid. However, the local police refused to identity or even acknowledge the maid or the mystery man. Furthermore, his body was embalmed before his family was informed of his death. After a lengthy probe presided over then Attorney General William Barr regarding the death of Danny Casolaro and Inslaw’s allegations that the Department of State stole the Promis software from them, the Judiciary Committee declared that Casolaro had not been murdered, but died of self-inflicted wounds to his wrists. Never mind that Danny had a blood phobia and was fearful of even a physician’s injection. Danny Casolaro named the story he was working on ‘The Octopus’. | |
