Obama Tries to Smooth Jewish-Black Relations and Quell Incorrect Stories About His Faith
...."Obama replied that Brzezinski is an informal, not a key, adviser, and "I do not share his views with respect to Israel. He said he has other foreign policy advisers....who share his belief that Israel has to remain a Jewish state with special ties to the U.S. and that the Palestinians have been irresponsible. And he said critics' e-mails never mention Lester Crown, a member of his national finance committee who is "considered about as hawkish and tough when it comes to Israel as anybody in the country.""

THREATENED T O EXPOSE SOME TFX SKULDUGGERY if his OWN GET-RICH-QUICK activities ARE scrutinized TOO CLOSELY, MCCLELLAN'S investigators WILL HAVE quite a trail TO FOLLOW. BUT IF THEY FOLLOW IT CAREFULLY IT WILL TAKE THEM THROUGH THE QUORUM CLUB, WHICH BOBBY FOUNDED, AND LEAD THEM IN THE direction of Vice President LYNDON JOHNSON.
Long Before the TFX contract was awarded to General Dynamics, the lobbyists and contractors has begun pulling and tugging on every
possible political string to land this biggest military contract with the Kennedy administration -- $5,600,000,000.
General Dynamic's board chairman, Henry Crown, slipped around Washington buttonholing Politicians he knew. One was Lyndon Johnson..."

The Colonel's Second Battle
Nov. 02, 1970
Few episodes in his half-century as an industrialist and financier have made Chicago's Henry Crown prouder than the work he did a decade ago at General Dynamics Corp. As executive committee chairman he helped manage the company's recovery from a $435 million loss on its Convair jetliners; it was the largest financial setback on a single product line ever sustained by a U.S. corporation."

How Kennedy Assassination Affected Some Stock Prices
JONATHAN MARSHALL
"Nov. 18, 1996
....But the facts speak tellingly about how accidents of history can affect great fortunes.
A postscript for assassination buffs: No individual stood to lose more from the TFX scandal than Chicago investor Henry Crown, who owned 20 percent of General Dynamics. His personal attorney, Albert Jenner, became a senior staff attorney on the Warren Commission, in charge of investigating the possibility of a conspiracy.....
Hey, "thestar" !....
I think Obama is a "right wing" plant, exceeding so far...in negative ways, even my expectations that he would be a shill for "the one party, the property party, with two right wings, one democratic, and one republican..." but I still find your "list" of "not released items", reading like something aired on Salem Radio, or displayed on a web page of it's "new media property", townhall.com.
Irrelevant, batsh*t crazy, right wing garbage, in other words.
