I'm starting to wonder if the Bush cabal and the Billarys are still doing war? Or, better yet, they simply all care nothing about murder and this is what happens, eh? It's a hodge podge in my books and either side cares one way or the other about death and destruction.... my 2 cents

Obama, Margaret Hemenway (an operative, eh?) Birthers, Lakin and murder
EXCERPT:
Margaret Hemenway has ties and previous connections to various far-right and neo-con groups and politicians, and can be seen by some as a "in the beltway" insider with a past history of being a GOP operative. And she's been, in the press, a defender of her father in law's involvement in Hollister v 'Soetoro'.

What I suspect is that there are some deep pockets bankrolling Lakin's website and the publicity for it. I suspect John D. Hemenway is the civilian legal counsel Lakin has been consulting, and I think Hemenway plans to use Lakin's court-martial or dismissal from service to re-argue Hollister v 'Soetoro', this time with an active-duty (or dismissed due to the birther claims) service member. The courts ruled in Hollister v 'Soetoro' that Hollister didn't have standing due to (among other things) that he hadn't be recalled. With Lakin, they can argue standing due to Lakin being active duty.

I also think that's why Lakin hasn't been seen nosing around Dr. Orly, Berg, or Apuzzo like many of the birthers have wanted him to do - because he's already GOT his civilian attorney ready.

Oh, and speaking of Margaret Hemenway, check out this 19 December 2009 article at the "Lez Get Real" blog.

"Now we are wondering… would this be Margaret Calhoun Hemenway we are looking for? … A 15-year veteran of Capitol Hill and a former Bush White House appointee, who served at the DoD in the capacity of a White House liaison for former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield?
Is this also the same Margaret Calhoun Hemenway who is a contributing editor for Family Security Matters.org, a regular Muslim basher, Birther extraordinary and daughter-in-law to the Birther lawyer John D. Hemenway who was recently reprimanded by a federal judge for his part in the preparation, filing, and prosecution of a legally frivolous suits involving President Obama’s birth certificate?

Is this too, the same Ms. Hemenway who also seems to have had a long-standing relationship with the Karl Rove creation, Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, the group that added the term “Swiftboating” to our political lexicon and gave new meaning to shady smear campaigns forever?"

05 MaySympathy For John Hemenway

While disagreeing on Birtherism, we are saddened by his loss of a son last week:

HEMENWAY JOHN MARTIN HEMENWAY (Age 47) On April 30, 2010 of Bedford, VA. Beloved husband of 7 years to Stephanie; loving father of Andrew Branham Hemenway; devoted son of John and Betty Hemenway; beloved brother of Catherine and Edward Siewick, Jane and John Sullivan, David and Margaret Hemenway and Fielding Williams. Pre-deceased by his beloved sister Mary Joyce Hemenway Williams. Also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Memorial Service on Tuesday, May 4, at 4:30 p.m. at Otterville United Methodist Church, Bedford, VA. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the John M. Hemenway Camp CHILD Scholarship for special needs children c/o Bedford Primary School, 807 College Street, Bedford, VA 24523.

Margaret Hemenway and NASA
EXCERPT:
That is a stunning turnaround, and it is largely due to the unremitting support in Legislative Affairs, both by the heads of those activities and by key folks like Mary D. Kerwin, Margaret Hemenway, Margaret Kieffer, Kurt Stamer, and many others, just unremitting support for our programs and our efforts, and I would say when I talk about that, much tougher for the career folks who have to adapt themselves to, every time there is a change of administration, at least some change in the plan and then still carry the message forward, and you all have done it admirably.

Hemenway and Hillary Clinton's ally, Philip Berg
EXCERPT:
(Hemenway had joined the suit launched by Hillary Clinton's ally, Philip Berg, the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania and attorney Lawrence Joyce of Arizona, in an attempt to force President Obama to disclose his birth records, currently being protected against public scrutiny by the Obama legal team at a reported cost of as much as one million dollars.)

Intriguing part by Hillary Clinton
EXCERPT:
What is most intriguing (and of course, elevated the eligibility controversy) is that it was largely fueled by a political ally of Hillary Clinton, now Obama's Secretary of State. This also begs the question of whether Mr. Obama provided Mrs. Clinton a Cabinet post in part to make this issue go away.

Note: John Hemenway was the attorney on file for the Hollister v Soetoro case which was dismissed and in which Hemenway was reprimanded by the Judge for filing a frivolous suit. The judge was kind and understanding enough to only reprimand Hemenway.


Evidence points to BP oil spill false flag
Evidence Points To BP Oil Spill False Flag
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones

- Sales of shares and stocks in days and weeks beforehand
- Halliburton link, acquisition of cleanup company days before explosion
- BP report cites undocumented tampering with well sealing equipment
- Government uses disaster to push for Carbon Tax, Nationalization talk
Troubling evidence surrounding the Deepwater Horizon explosion on April 20th suggests that the incident could have been manufactured.
On April 12th, just over one week before the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, Halliburton, the world’s second largest oilfield services corporation, surprised some by acquiring Boots & Coots, a relatively small but vastly experienced oil
well control companies.
The company deals with fires and blowouts on oil rigs and oil wells. It was responsible for putting out roughly one third of the more than 700 oil well fires set in Kuwait by retreating Iraqi soldiers during the Gulf War.
The deal itself is still under scrutiny with Boots and Coots facing an ongoing investigation into “possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law”
Where this information gets really interesting is with the fact that Halliburton is named in the majority of some two dozen lawsuits filed since the explosion by Gulf Coast people and businesses who claim that the company is to blame for the disaster.
Halliburton was forced to admit in testimony at a congressional hearing last month that it carried out a cementing operation 20 hours before the Gulf of Mexico rig went up in flames. The lawsuits claim that four Halliburton workers stationed on the rig improperly capped the well.

As the New York Times noted on May 26th, “BP officials chose, partly for financial reasons, to use a type of casing for the well that the company knew was the riskier of two options,”
Workers from the rig and company officials have said that hours before the explosion, gases were leaking through the cement, which had been set in place by the oil services contractor, Halliburton. Investigators have said these leaks were the likely cause of the explosion.”
According to a 2007 study by Minerals Management Service, cementing was a factor in 18 of 39 rig blowouts in the gulf between 1992 and 2006.
Another intriguing connection Boots and Coots has to the Deepwater Horizon explosion comes via Pat Campbell, the man BP has employed to cap the well beneath the ruined rig. Campbell worked for Boots and Coots as general manager for many years.
BP has admitted to buying Yahoo and Google keywords in an attempt to control publicly available information in the wake of the catastrophe. It seems that the company is taking all the flack for the spill while the Halliburton link is being roundly ignored.
BP’s prepared testimony briefing, which has since leaked online, also intriguingly notes that the Hydraulic Control System on equipment designed to automatically seal the well in an emergency was modified without their knowledge sometime before the explosion.
“the extent of these modifications is unknown at this time” states the report on page 37.

Possible prior knowledge of the explosion is also evident via huge dumping of stocks and shares in the weeks and days prior to the incident.
Goldman Sachs dumped 44% of its shares in BP Oil during the first quarter – shares that subsequently lost 36 percent of their value, equating to $96 million.
Other asset management firms also sold huge blocks of BP stock in the first quarter. Though the amounts pale in comparison to Goldman’s holdings, Wachovia, owned by Wells Fargo, sold 98% of its shares in BP and Swiss bank UBS sold 97% of its BP shares.
Furthermore, as reported by the London Telegraph on June 5th, Tony Hayward, the chief executive of BP, sold £1.4 million of his shares in the fuel giant weeks before the spill.
In the days before the Deepwater explosion, Obama had announced a new effort to explore for and lease new drilling locations in the deep Gulf and in Alaska. In the wake of the disaster, these plans have been cancelled and BP is taking a PR bashing.
All of which has been capitalized on by the Obama administration to reinvigorate talk of a carbon tax and has created the opportunity to reintroduce the idea of nationalizing oil, which the Democratic leadership has long sought.
The full story of what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico is yet to emerge, there are rumours of more spills and an ongoing coverup. The site represents a $2.2 trillion source of wealth and power, a motive along with a plethora of suspicious activity that needs to be investigated further.

* PLUS: Halliburton buys Oil Fire Fighting company on April 12th for $240 Million

In 1978, Edward "Coots" Matthews and Asger "Boots" Hansen founded Boots & Coots (WEL). Both were veteran oil-well firefighters. But the days of independence have come to an end for Boots & Coots as the company has agreed to sell out to Halliburton (HAL) for $240.4 million. Shareholders will get $1.73 in cash and $1.27 in Halliburton stock for every share of Boots & Coots.
