Reagan's diaries to be published


The personal diaries of the late President Ronald Reagan covering his eight years as US leader are to be published next year.

He wrote in his diaries every day of his presidency, recording his thoughts on events both routine and historic, officials said.

Publisher HarperCollins called them "the most detailed presidential diaries in America's history".

Reagan died last year aged 93 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

1. Now if we could just get our hands on his presidential papers...
We might figure out what GHW Bush was doing in Paris during July of '79.

8. Republicans etoilating their greatest public office pedophile.
If you really want to know just how bad, you need to check his presidential papers for May 14-16 1987. Where was he? He was on a furtive trip to the UK to attend the funeral of an elderly Russian woman called Xenia. Why?

Because "Ronald Reagan" was a total ID fraud sex predator called Michael Freeman.

The UK's Official Secrets Act still classifies all references to him and his family. But what can be said of his real ID is that he was one of the sons of Richard Freeman - the birth name of the thriller writer who used the pen name of "Edgar Wallace".

Wallace wrote the screenplay of King Kong and died in Hollywood in 1932. He was a traitor to his country.

"Reagan's" mother was a Russian prostitute called Xenia Sergeyev that Freeman banged when she was 12 years old.

He had a lengthy career as a serial sex offender, mostly under age boys but girls too.

He has extensive family connections in the UK who have been active as Stasi-controlled double-agents during the cold war. At least eighteen have had prominent cabinet posts in the Thathcer, Major and Blair administrations, under assumed ID theft names.

17. I never heard that one before!
I'm no Reagan fan, I always like to note that Ronald Wilson and Reagan each have 6 letters. Fundies go nuts when you do that.

This is just unbelieveable. Do you have a source for your information? I believe details about RR's life are a matter of public record. Although I have not been curious enough to look them up, I did live through his administration and I distinctly remember he was (obviously, as he was president) born in this country and was of irish descent.

Let's stick to the facts when evaluating his policies and his legacy.

40. My source is a former professional legal connection. I was
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 09:42 AM by emad
involvd in 1980s litigation in the US as well as UK regarding property frauds perpetrated by the late Robert Maxwell. I and my fellow litigants who had banded together to sue the bastard won.

A good source of background information on Maxwell and his connections with Bush1/reagan is the Thomas/Dillon book:

ROBERT MAXWELL WAS A MOSSAD SPY
New claim on tycoon's mystery death
By Gordon Thomas And Martin Dillon
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12419168&method=full&

In the course of my personal lawsuits, City of London cops presented evidence against Maxwell confirming that he was Peter Freeman, the son of Richard Freeman's eldest son Bryan.

Other litigants in the UK suit had evidence of financial transactions in the UK going back to the 1960s between Peter Freeman and his uncle Michael Freeman. This maily involved laundering of funds associated with the property thefts.

Then, there is a whole plethora of information about the ID of"Ronald Reagan" held in the UK but it is classified under Official Secrets Act relating to the House of Windsor. Some of this was referred to in the Royal Courts of Justice lawsuits I was involved in and anyone who heard any of this evidence was gagged with draconian confidentiality agreements. On Thatcher's orders I may add.

However, the gist of this is as follows:

Richard Freeman - who wrote under the pen name of Edgar Wallace - was involved with US nationals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in conspiracies to bring about a downfall of the British monarchy and replace it with a republic. His main bankrolling sources in the US were linked to a Senator Jennings.

Freeman's second wife was Violet King. She was in the pay of Stalin and acted as courier between US and European criminal gangs financing a plot to oust the British monarchy.

Her biggest attribute was that she looked like a carbon copy of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, who from 1923 became Duchess of York.

After Richard Freeman's death in 1931, Violet became involved with republican factions in the UK associated with the military. Chiefly with the family of Viscount Aldington.

In September 1940 the Nazis bombed a wing of Buckingham Palace. George VI, his wife Elizabeth and their eldest daughter Elizabeth were all killed, only Princess Margaret survived.

The Tory government panicked and decided to put in a massive counter-intelligence operation. This involved putting in the Bowes-Lyon look alike Violet King Freeman and a member of the Aldington family who closely resembled King George VI - as the King and Queen. A supposedly temporary measure until they figured out what the hell to do next.

That show ran on and on for years and years.

The lookalike chosen to replace Princess Elizabeth - today's present Queen Elizabeth II - was a half sister of Michael Freeman - aka Ronald Reagan - who was born some 12 years after him to their mother Xenia Sergeyev by a different father.

Princess Margaret tried unsucessfully in the 1950s to overthrown the lookalike sister who had by then become Queen. The whole business of her failed attempt to marry divorcee Group Captain Peter Townsend is another Tory cover-up of what she tried to do.

She was eventually assassinated and replacded with another lookalike.
As was the man who wed Princess Elizabeth: Prince Phillip was also replaced with another lookalike, somewhat surgically enhanced to make the story fit.

This whole process has gone on and on and ON AND ON.

"Cherie Blair" - Poodle's wife - is the daughter of Peter Freeman, aka Robert Maxwell.

Most of the above is classified in the UK. None is on the internet although I know many people who have kept newspaper cuttings from the British press which have reported some details of the above during the last 45 years.

My own cuttings on this are still under a legal stricture in the UK courts although I managed to get some of them released earlier this year and will be able to post them on the internet as soon as copyright issues have been sorted out.


SO IN sticking to the "facts" about Ronald Reagan I would say that all that is in the public domain is pure superannuated bullshit.

The entire mythology about him has been a superb Hollowoodesque cover up of galactic proportions.

His UK based family members are amongs the extreme corrupt thugs ever to have existed.

That is how Poodle got to be where he is today.

24. Sounds like a Robert Ludlum plot
Not to denegrate your post... this is quite way outside of anything that I have ever heard of Reagan from any point-of-view opposed to his policies and/or person. How do you come by this information?

of Xenia Sergeyev.


Addendum:

In 1982 John Ashcroft acted as defence attorney for Nancy Reagan when she was sued in a NYC 1982 civil lawsuit by members of the Truman family. They alleged criminal harrassment, defamation, physical assault, destruction of property and libel.

Their suit said she lied to the US Justice Department about Ronald Reagan's predatory activities as a pederast in a judicial enquiry started before they were married. And that she knew which other members of the Hollywood sex ring was also part of a conspiracy to cover up child sex abuse crimes relating to Reagan, and exactly who bankrolled the whitewash of CIA investigations in the 1960s. Also alleged was that CIA double agents in the pay of Moscow were chosen to conduct the original probes which were then systematically stonewalled over by the Justice Department.

The Trumans won their suit and collected substantial damages from Nancy.

The primary evidence against both Ron and Nancy was submitted by General John Merriman, a former US Army military intelligence chief who conducted major investigations into post-World War II activities by exiled Nazis who were being bankrolled by European cocaine and heroin cartels.

Merriman was a veteran of the Warren commission into the assassination of JFK. His son Richard Merriman was the last journalist to interview Marilyn Monroe (either Times magazine or Variety - can't remember which) and who was himself assassinated some years later in a sabotaged airplane flight. His father was custodian Monroe interview tape which ran on after Merriman finished taking shorthand notes of the interview.

Merriman told the judge in the NYC suit that "Ronald Reagan" was a UK/USSR double agent called Freeman and an active member of a child sex ring run by drug barons. And that he colluded with members of the Gelli family into perverting the course of justice to cover up the criminal records of former Hollywood colleagues when he was Governor of California.

Merriman said that reagan had a son in the UK called Leslie Freeman. And that Freeman is the ID theft of a cold war Stasi plant who has called himself "John Major" - ex-UK Prime Minister, current director of the US's Carlyle Group (of which Bush1 was a director until recently) and now a Knight of the Order of the Garter.

From memory, General Merriman was a former Rhodes scholar at Oxford University and a world authority on the collusion of criminal gangs who acted as catalysts for the Catholic Church's moneylaundering and bankrolling of the Nazis in the 1930s onwards.

He was highly decorated for his services and twice received the Congressional Medal of Honor as well as the Victoria Cross from the Brits. His 1995 funeral in Maryland was attended by the Clintons.

The press ran a week long eulogy to him entitled "The Collosus of Rhodes" - not least because of his physical stature: he was nearly 6ft 8ins tall.

42. If you think this is bad, wait until the story of "George Herbert Bush"
and "George Walker Bush" is told.

Bottom line, Freeman hired members of the Gelli family to perpetuate the whitewashes on his horrible disgusting existence.

20. I hope his journal will throw some light upon his obsession with nailing
people he considered to be "communists."
When Ronald Reagan took office in 1980, he arrived with a set of assumptions regarding internal subversion which he had developed and refined while leading a purge of alleged communists in Hollywood as head of the Screen Actors Guild in the 1950's. Like Ronald Reagan, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had cast itself in a central role during the 1950's political witch hunts, as had a network of right-wing political vigilantes who ferreted out subversion and publicized their findings in newsletters such as "Red Channels," which identified those it felt belonged on the Hollywood blacklist.

Reagan facilitated a concerted and successful attempt by the intelligence agencies and their counter-subversion allies to abolish the reforms which had restrained them during the late 1970's. The early 1980's also saw tremendous growth in the private security industry coupled with an authorization for the contracting of intelligence investigations to private firms outside the reach of Congressional oversight and laws protecting privacy. The FBI and other agencies also redefined the terms "terrorism" and "foreign intelligence" to reflect a broad and self-serving interpretation; and then argued their investigations into social change groups met the terms of specific legal language allowing the FBI greater investigative latitude in probes involving political violence and foreign spying. The result was that by 1983, FBI agents and private security specialists had launched broad intrusions into the lives of ordinary citizens engaged in otherwise legal activities.

Reagan & Guatemala's Death Files
by Robert Parry
iF magazine, May/June 1999



Ronald Reagan's election in November 1980 set off celebrations in the well-to-do communities of Central America.
After four years of Jimmy Carter's human rights nagging, the region's anticommunist hard-liners were thrilled that they had someone in the White House who understood their problems.

The oligarchs and the generals had good reason for the optimism. For years, Reagan had been a staunch defender of right-wing regimes that engaged in bloody counterinsurgency campaigns against leftist enemies.

In the late 1970s, when Carter's human rights coordinator, Pat Derian, criticized the Argentine military for its "dirty war" -- tens of thousands of "disappearances," tortures and murders -then-political commentator Reagan joshed that she should "walk a mile in the moccasins" of the Argentine generals before criticizing them.
(snip/...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


How many voices were silenced in Latin American due to his love of power, as in entire villages wiped off the face of the earth with his involvement in fortifying right-wing, U.S.-supported, puppet dictatorships?

He looked affable and benign, but the powers making the decisions for him wrought havoc in this hemisphere among those without the ability to defend themselves: the poor and utterly helpless.

I'm sure Saint Ronnie had wet dreams thinking about all the babies that Saddam would gas.

A low point in American history - Ronald Reagan giving chemical weapons(WMDs!!) to Saddam Hussein when Reagan knew those weapons would be used offensively. Truly a low point in our Nation's history.
