Unsolved Mysteries - Danny Casolaro and "The Octopus" pt. 1/2

Joseph Daniel Casolaro (June 16, 1947 - August 10, 1991) was an American freelance writer who came to public attention in 1991, when he was found dead in a bathtub in room 517 of the Sheraton Hotel in Martinsburg, West Virginia, his wrists slashed 10 - 12 times. A note was found, and the medical examiner ruled the death a suicide.

His death became controversial because his notes suggested he was in Martinsburg to meet a source about a story he called "the Octopus." This centered around a sprawling conspiracy theory involving an international cabal, and primarily featuring a number of stories familiar to journalists who worked in and near Washington, D.C. in the 1980's—the Inslaw case, about a software manufacturer whose owner accused the Justice Department of stealing its work product; the October Surprise theory that during the Iran hostage crisis, Iran deliberately held back American hostages to help Ronald Reagan win the 1980 presidential election; the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International; and Iran-Contra.

This and so, so much worse, downright sinister & evil plots by the syndicate of global elites conspiring to create a collectivist technocracy is the legacy of subversion of our American Republic -- some of the high points being consolidation of financial & industrial interests who 'won' the Civil War, Rothschilde's engineering the 1914 Christmas 'surprise' of Federal reserve, financing of Hitler, creation of OSS/CIA & Dulle's 'coups', removal of JFK & MLK, IMF & resource wars, BCCI & Promis...

Yep going on all the time;. This is very interesting share+ appreciate this link. can't have the truth be known; have to do one of those dumb-ass 'fake suicide' hotel thingies with a fake ass suicide note. They failed to know this man hated needles; + the blade = ouch-i-->sharp object not to touch arms. (Bling bling bling) Sad but didn't this man leave most of his information in a safe place so he did not die in vain???? My my my. Now to 2nd part. Ummmmmmmmmm We know the govs into drugs+++

@TheSinjingideon obviously George Bush is behind this and must be slowly tortured continually without food or water for 2 years each day being worse than the next. Also, for good luck do that for the whole of Congress, all the bankers, the Vatican, The IMF, The world Bank, all alphabet agencies and anyone who is a blue blood and a Khazar and linked to secret societies, the trilateral commission, the bilderberg group, council of foreign relations, the anti-defamation league and justin Timberlake
