By Salvador Astucia, May 8, 2002

Well the FBI has their man, right? We can all rest assured that there won’t be anymore exploding mailboxes, right? After all, 21-year-old college student Luke John Helder sent a suspicious-looking letter to the school paper at the University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomie, Wisconsin. According to a CNN wire service article, Helder’s suspicious letter was entitled "Explosions! A Bit of Evidence for You." The letter reportedly contained the following text which led to his arrest: "I will die/change in the end for this, but that’s OK, hahaha paradise awaits! I’m dismissing a few individuals from reality, to change all of you for the better, surely you can understand that my logic."

Wow! Explosions, paradise awaits, he’s dismissing people. That’s mighty powerful evidence, almost a signed confession, right? WRONG! True to form, the FBI couldn’t investigate its way out of a paper bag. The Internet is filled with suspicious articles far more violent than young Helder’s. Why is this young lad more of a suspect than thousands of fruitcakes who routinely make threatening statements on various political newsgroups? Seriously, for every Helder who writes about "explosions" and "dismissing" people, there at least a hundred fruitcakes—many of them provocateurs working for the FBI and other espionage services—posting extremely violent writings on political newsgroups. Why do they get off scot-free while the government focuses on this young man with an Apostle-like name (Luke John)?

For example, I recently posted an article about Robert Caro’s new biography of LBJ, Master of the Senate. I was inundated with insults and threats of violence of a most graphic and hideous nature. Some of the most violent responses came from three Vietnam War veterans named Bill Clarke, Bill Langston, and Don Thompson. These guys are apparently regulars on alt.war.vietnam. They appeared to be bitter against the United States government because of bad experiences in Vietnam.

Clarke wrote the following: "Fuck the topic Salvador! … Lucky for you we didn't cut your ball off and stick'um in your mouth for coming here with such shit."

Langston wrote the following: "Fuck off, eat shit and die fool... you're history now."

Thompson referred to me as "inferior" in the following public statement: "One of the ‘inferior’ people eventually shove a wad of devilishly sharp bobwaar up their ass and pull their tongue down their throat and out their ass with it."

Why hasn’t the FBI questioned people like Clarke, Langston, and Thompson for the recent mail bombings instead of targeting on a young college student. Surely their violent statements are more suspicious than those of young Luke John’s. In addition to their violent writings, Clarke, Langston, and Thompson definitely have the motive and the knowledge of how to launch a terrorist assault against the US government. Of course we all know that donkeys will fly before the FBI would ever consider arresting such goons as Clarke, Langston, and Thompson. They’ve got their man. Why worry about such trivial things as truth, justice, or conducting an honest investigation? After all, they’re the FBI. Case closed.

But as dangerous as Clarke, Langston, and Thompson may seem, they are just the tip of the iceberg. Usenet newsgroups are used by thousands of violent fruitcakes who routinely and publicly post violent and disgusting threats against individuals like me and often against the US government as well.

To demonstrate this point, just go to the popular Usenet search engine, http://groups.google.com (formerly dejanews.com), and run some searches on random violent expressions. Here are the results of a few violent phrases that I chose today:

Of course all of the cited instances are not violent when read within the entire context, but many are extremely violent, as were the comments directed at me by Clarke, Langston, and Thompson on alt.war.vietnam.

My point is this: We live in a violent culture where people openly make violent threats—in writing—on a routine basis. If we lived in a society of Quakers, the FBI’s rationale for arresting Helder would make sense. But modern America is a far-cry from a Quaker society. Therefore, the mere fact that a young man sent a suspicious-looking letter to a school newspaper is not enough grounds to arrest him for a string of bombings. Unless Helder described the bombings in great detail, or if he confessed to being the bomber, then merely sending an odd communiqué is not enough evidence. His comments were tame compared to those of Clarke, Langston, and Thompson on alt.war.vietnam. And the latter three men had motive: they are bitter Vietnam veterans. What is Helder’s motive? It’s difficult to build a legal case without motive.

I suspect that Helder, Clarke, Langston, and Thompson are all provocateurs paid by the FBI or some other espionage agency. Helder is likely learning today what Lee Harvey Oswald learned in 1963 when he worked as a provocateur, apparently with the Office of Naval Intelligence. Oswald thought he was being a patriot but he learned that our government would sacrifice provocateurs like him in a heartbeat in order to meet its objective. Jack Ruby learned a similar lesson. Clearly Ruby helped set up the assassination of the President Kennedy. But when Oswald refused to cooperate with the conspirators, Ruby’s handlers made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. One can easily imagine them telling him the following: "Jack, Jack baby. You need to kill Oswald. Otherwise we will implicate you in the murder of President Kennedy as well. You dig?"

Agent provocateurs are used extensively by the US military and various espionage agencies including the FBI. Provocateurs are also used by other governments including Israel. Guela Amir, an Israeli citizen, wrote an excellent article—which was published in the March 1997 edition of George Magazine—describing how an agent provocateur working for Shin Bet (Israel’s equivalent of the FBI and Secret Service) goaded a young man into shooting and killing Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in November 1995. The assassin was Amir’s son, Yigal Amir. Her article was entitled A Mother’s Defense.

The use of agent provocateurs allows corrupt regimes to stage crimes when it meets their needs. Then they rush in and solve it, thereby gaining credibility within the eyes of the public. Helder was obviously set up in order to discredit people like me and others for disclosing criminal activities perpetrated by specific individuals within our government. Rather than honestly and openly addressing the new revelations about the Kennedy assassination or NORAD’s intentional lack of response in 911, criminal elements within the US government are using this poor 21-year-old man to discredit true critics of the US government.

This is how the FBI sets up and solves crimes. It cannot be understated that this national police force was founded by a sexual deviate of the highest order, J. Edgar Hoover, a transvestite and homosexual. He was not a man of high moral integrity by any stretch of the imagination. But Hoover—a flaming degenerate, whose lifestyle was an abomination within all religions (except one)—defined the ethical standards used by the FBI today. Also, I wonder if the world would have heard of the young man accused of the recent mail bombings had his name been Fred instead of Luke John Helder. My heart goes out to his parents. ª

The following four postings are sample writings of Bill Clarke, Bill Langston, and Don Thompson on alt.war.vietnam. It is my contention that these three individuals are paid provocateurs working for the FBI or another espionage agency within the United States government or Israel.

Sonoma Beetsky. Eight. Count them, 8, posts from this piss ignorant

crackerjack box nazi that are so far afield they have no relation to

anything *at all* interesting, complaining about US being off topic. The

slimy piece of monkey shit has for sure tilted. First he calls us all Jews,

then he calls us spooks. I would be willing to bet the spook reference is

aimed at putting us all in the Afro-Jewish box. Racist pig fuckers like this

eventually get their comeuppance. One of the "inferior" people eventually

shove a wad of devilishly sharp bobwaar up their ass and pull their tongue

down their throat and out their ass with it.

Ain't this fun boys? HaR.

Orange Port is empty of Navy hulls I hear. The ship my Li'l Brother sailed

on from his final schooling in Dago through the canal was put into mothballs

at Orange TX in '69. From there he caught a bus to Austin where my folks had

come down to see me off to Asia and he drove my '69 Barracuda Formula S home

to Kans ass. Our 30 days leave overlapped by 2 days so at least I got to

spend a little time with him before he was killed. Then when I was down to

Beaumont to visit Melvin L. Flitcraft, my 20 Alternate bud and housemate for

a year, we called around to see about visiting the mothball fleet and the

word was that there weren't any ships there any more.
