REASON TO SILENCE INNOCENT MAN
By Wesley W. Hoy
John Connelly, head of the FBI for Boston, MA in the 1980s-90s, designated Mafia Don, Whitie Bolger as his “confidential informant.” To be a confidential informant for the FBI is the same as a “get out of jail free” card. As long the
FBI will vouch for him, he can avoid the consequences of racketeering simply by being designated a “confidential informant.” After a reign of terror that included much of the East Coast, finally, in January 2009, Connelly was
convicted of murder in Florida. During the trial, it was said that, Connelly’s misconduct “tarnished the badge.” Is this an isolated case of official misconduct or an example of unchecked power that corrupts absolutely?
In 2005, when David Hinkson was sentenced to 43 years in SUPERMAX, Florence, Colorado, the official government statement then was that his supposed attempt to hire a hit man to kill federal officials “…was an egregious attack on our system of justice and the rule of law.” True, if he had tried to murder federal officials, it would have been egregious, but, as we have since learned, it was egregious that officials from our own government fictionalized the solicitation scenario, using the lies of a confidential informant, in an effort to silence David.
Why was it necessary to silence David Hinkson? Was it because he spoke out against Federal corruption on talk radio shows? He had always researched his facts very well and gave convincing presentations on how to avoid being trapped in a government scam. Was it because David exposed a private corporation known as the "Federal Reserve" mostly owned by foreign nationals, as the source of that corruption? Or was it because he shared his belief that the IRS was simply the collection agency for the Federal Reserve, willing to use deadly force if necessary to extort money from people?
Hinkson’s false conviction for a murder plot that never happened was based solely on the testimony of one man, Elven Joe Swisher, from Cottonwood, Idaho, the confidential informant for the US Government. Ironically, Swisher was caught stealing hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars from the VA and convicted of crimes–including perjury, forgery and theft—when he used the exact same lies at the Hinkson trial. But Swisher, as an FBI-protected confidential informant, only served a few months in a country club prison for his real crimes, whereas David has been serving hard time since for crimes that never existed.
These events raise the question, did the US Department of Justice knowingly participate in sending Hinkson, age 52, to spend the rest of his life behind bars? If so, why would they do that? If David was innocent and the prosecutor and judge knew it, is there something sinister going on behind the scenes in the US Department of Justice and/or in the US Judiciary?
September 2009, marks the commencement of a series of articles on the corruption from within. Knowledge of the abuse of power and manipulation of the system by corrupt government officials may help other individuals who have been targeted to avoid the same pitfalls. Many would rather put their head in the sand and ignore the cascade of current events. Yet, when unfair attack by the government comes to a friend or loved one, there is a sudden awareness that something is very wrong with our system. Only small neighborhood newspapers and the Internet will deal with these issues, as mainstream media has covenanted not to criticize the government as it marches down the path to achieve a New World Order. Hopefully, this kind of exposure of issues at the grassroots level will develop confidence in the individual that there still are remedies within the system and that we can still appeal for help to the remaining honest officials who believe in good governance, even though we live in perilous times.
