RUMOR - More Gannon/Guckert Dirt Expected from AmericaBlog Today

[dzika]

From reading America Blog, it looks like some more "Gannon" shit is about to hit the fan. I'm not cool enough to get the hints but maybe you can figure it out.

BIG Gannon story coming tomorrow

by John in DC - 2/13/2005 07:26:00 PM

I'm wrapping it up now. It's big. Very big. I've just contacted him for comment. If he now decides to go public to pre-empt my story, well, you heard it here first. Stay tuned.

PS Just so the bad guys out there know, several of my friends already have copies of my files. I'm just saying...

First hint

by John in DC - 2/13/2005 10:53:00 PM

The watch was a very important clue. Kudos to whomever of you noticed it first a few days ago.

Here's another new photo of it you haven't seen before:

He's toast

by John in DC - 2/14/2005 10:48:00 AM

I just got invoices :-)

PS Not playing games with you. Well, ok, a little bit. But I'm still writing. Almost done. I figured I'd slip a little info first.

I expect John to publish the story very soon.

1. no clue

what does the watch signify? i can't even see a watchface in that pic. But I'm definitely salivating and hoping for a major story!

[Warpy]

2. Unfortunately, I'm expecting another

"oh gawd, is THAT all?" moment.

Yes, I'm a cynic.

[Zeke]

3. If it sounds to good to be true...

Yeah, the glass is half empty.

If video existed of Guckert-Gannon
killing OJ's wife, the MSM would
bury the Gannon story, as they've done thus.

[dzika]

4. I just don't want it to be about his sexual history

unless Karl Rove is directly involved.

[On the Road]

5. I Don't Want it to be Sexual Either, BUT....

that seems to be only type of scandal that sticks to these sods.

[gkhouston]

7. I've been wondering how they found this guy and why they

would have used someone with such a compromised background when struggling actors are so plentiful. All joking aside, maybe there was a "business" relationship between Guckert and someone on the inside at the White House.

[AuntiBush]

21. Wishful thinking. Sigh...

Know how you feel.

[JohnnyRingo]

6. Accepted rumor says it has to do with a site called "marinemeat.com"

read 'bout it here:

...or maybe not.

8. America Blog Story Release - and it's has a very sexual nature

Here is the story but I won't post the pictures as they are very sexual

by John in DC - 2/14/2005 01:26:00 PM

A man called Jeff

WARNING: A number of the links in this story are to x-rated photographs, and some of those might prove shocking to some people. Please exercise your own discretion when clicking. (And, as you read, please forgive the necessary typos - I'm going for rock-solid facts, rather than spelling.)

WOLF BLITZER: Because one of the things, as you know, that were said is that you had some sexually explicit Web sites that you were working on. I don't understand what that is, but maybe you could explain that.

JEFF GANNON: Well, several years ago, before I came to Washington, I had registered various domain names for a private client. I was doing Web site development. Those sites were never hosted. There's -- nothing ever went up on them. And the client went on to do something else. - CNN, 2/10/05

Site 1

The Web sites reflects the era in which it was built. A simple black background, white text, lots of kitschy images and bad puns. The theme is decidedly military. The logo at the top is borrowed from the US Marine Corps, an eagle standing atop an anchor. The letters USMCPT run across the logo, written in the colors of the flag. Below the strange acronym are four words: “Personal Trainer, Bodyguard, Escort.” Above it stands a muscular and headless man in black military boots, white socks, buck naked.

(image here)

In 1999, Paul Leddy, a Web designer and photographer, says he received an email from a man named Jeff from Wilmington, Delaware. Jeff wanted Paul to build him a new Web site for his business. Paul accepted the job, provided Jeff mailed him a check with half the money up front (Jeff had not provided a last name, and Paul wanted to make sure he was for real). Jeff sent the check, it cleared, and Paul built the site and launched it online for Jeff.

Paul didn’t think about Jeff much until last week when he heard about a breaking scandal involving a man named Jeff who owned several military escort service Web addresses. “I saw the name Jeff Gannon, knew our Jeff, saw the militarystud.com Web address, and thought ‘hmmm, everything was military, that sounds like Jeff who we did the site for.’”

Paul searched the Internet WhoIs director for militarystud.com and saw that the owner was Bedrock Corp of Wilmington, Delaware. “That’s definitely him,” Paul said. (Paul and a second source both recall Jeff paying with a check in the name of Bedrock Corp. The name stuck in their heads at the time because they asked Jeff why “Bedrock”? He replied something about the Flintstones, they recall.)

Paul then went and checked his files. He found five invoices to Jeff from August 31, 1999 to March 30, 2000. (The file properties say they were created on those dates by Paul Leddy.)

(image here)

The invoices are from BELDesigns for “Website Design”and “hosting.” The billing address?

Bedrock Corp
5721 Kennett Pike
Centreville, DE 19807

(Paul Leddy’s address, phone number and email were removed from this invoice by me before publishing, at Paul’s request. I am happy to show the full invoice to journalists.)

According to the date the html files were created for the USMCPT Web site – files Paul still has - Paul built the site for Jeff in September 1999. Paul says he launched it within a matter of weeks. The site was eventually migrated to its own URL, USMCPT.com. While the site is no longer live on the Internet, archived copies of it show that it was live at the USMCPT.com address at least from October 31, 2001 until May 8, 2003. When asked what USMCPT meant, Paul said he asked Jeff that very question. The answer: United States Marine Corps, Part Time. Paul recalls Jeff telling him he was still in the Marines, but only part time. Paul also recalls Jeff being around 40 years old, even though the Web site said he was 32.

The military theme continues at USMCPT.com. The “Ammunition” section contains the description of the escort. It reads: White, 200 pounds, hair “high and tight,” chest “46’ Usually Shaved or Clipped,” and under “Weapon” it says "8 inches cut." The escort mentions that he takes clients in the Washington, DC, Virginia and Maryland area, and that he prefers to “travel to your location or travel with you.”

The USMCPT home page never specifically mentions sex, though it’s clear this is not your run-of-the-mill personal trainer or bodyguard. Under a section entitled “Mission,” it says:

Ex-USMC Jock: Available for hourly, overnight, weekend or longer travel - OUT ONLY!

Personal Trainer: Safe-Sane-Strenuous-Satisfying workouts, Sports training, and competition, especially wrestling....

Big SPORTS Fan: Will go to the game with you, then take you home and....

"AGGRESIVE, VERBAL, DOMINANT TOP"
I DON'T LEAVE MARKS....ONLY IMPRESSIONS

(image here)

Further on down the page, on at least the early versions of the Web site (several versions over the span of a year and a half are cached online), you can see the logo for BELDesigns, Paul's Web design business. There's also a button that says “SEE MORE OF ME.” This brings you to a page comprising 43 or so thumbnail-sized pictures of Jeff, in various states of undress. In one photo he’s lounging spread eagle on some pillows, fully erect. In another he’s bent over, naked, apparently checking something on his nightstand (while revealing a great set of lats), and in a third set of photos he is urinating. If you click on the thumbnail photos, you can see larger-sized versions (though not for all the photos, the archive is incomplete). If you look at the html source on this page, you will see that numerous of the photos are named “Jeff.” In several of the photos you will see Jeff wearing a distinctive silver watch with a solid black band. He likes to wear it on his left hand, slightly above the wrist joint.

The site also contains a third page, called “Bulldog.htm.” (The bulldog is recurring theme on the site.) On this page we learn that Jeff is available as a travel companion, a workout partner/trainer, an event companion (“Want to see the Orioles, Caps, Wizards, or ‘Skins?”), tour guide, and bodyguard. Jeff then provides his email address, [e-mail]

The USMCPT site has a link on its home page that, depending on which version in time of the home page you’re examining, says either “See more of me and my buddies at: Male Corps” or “Featured on Studfiles.”

The story goes on to offer a total of 7 related sites with images and then concludes with the following:

Why does this matter?

So in the end, why does this matter? Why does it matter that Jeff Gannon may have been a gay hooker named James Guckert with a $20,000 defaulted court judgment against him? So he somehow got a job lobbing softball questions to the White House. Big deal. If he was already a prostitute, why not be one in the White House briefing room as well?

This is the Conservative Republican Bush White House we're talking about. It's looking increasingly like they made a decision to allow a hooker to ask the President of the United States questions. They made a decision to give a man with an alias and no journalistic experience access to the West Wing of the White House on a "daily basis." They reportedly made a decision to give him - one of only six - access to documents, or information in those documents, that exposed a clandestine CIA operative. Say what you will about Monika Lewinsky - a tasteless episode, "inappropriate," whatever. Monika wasn't a gay prostitute running around the West Wing. What kind of leadership would let prostitutes roam the halls of the West Wing? What kind of war-time leadership can't find the same information that took bloggers only days to find?

None of this is by accident.

Someone had to make a decision to let all this happen. Who? Someone committed a crime in exposing Valerie Plame and now it appears a gay hooker may be right in the middle of all of it? Who?

Ultimately, it is the hypocrisy that is such a challenge to grasp in this story. This is the same White House that ran for office on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. While they are surrounded by gay hookers? While they use a gay hooker to write articles for their gay hating political base? While they use a gay hooker to destroy a political enemy?

Who in the White House is at the center of all of this? Who allowed this to go on in the People's House? Who committed the crime of exposing Valerie Plame? Jeff Gannon has the answers to these questions, and boy we know he loves to talk.

Let him talk to Patrick Fitzgerald.

9. OMG!

I think that the WH must be very nervous right about now!

This guy would never have waltzed into the WH PR without someone on the inside having some sort of relationship with him.

[FreedomAngel82]

36. Exactly or maybe

someone had a relationship with him at the news thing and promised him something?

[rainy]

10. deleted

[babsbunny]

11. WoW!

JUST WOW!

[troubleinwinter]

12. Nope. It's just all a mystery, huh?

"McClellan also said he was unaware of Talon News' ties to the Texas Republican Party until recently, when scrutiny of Guckert, also known as Jeff Gannon, increased following what many perceive to be his partisan questioning of President Bush at a press conference last month.

McClellan added that he had known "relatively little" about Talon News, Guckert's former employer, which is linked to GOPUSA.com, a Republican Web site with ties to Texas Republican groups. "I knew it was a conservative Web site that reported news," he said."

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000799881

McClellan is a Texan worked for Bush when he was governor of Texas. But McClellan doesn't know Bobby Eberle, GOP Texas partisan, owner of Talon and GOPUSA.com, Guckert/Gannon's employer? PUHLEEZE!!!!

--McClellan is known to be a frequenter of Texas gay bars.

--McClellan's mother is the (Republican!) Texas State controller, and likely candidate for governor.

Nope. McClellan sure wouldn't be aware of any Texas GOPers at all.

Nope.

[gkhouston]

13. Damn. You have to work hard

to have a head that empty. Either that or someone's been f***ing your brains out.

[troubleinwinter]

14. Watch the empty-headed MSM. They will not investigate

questions of connections between McClellan, Guckert/Gannon/Plame documents and the Texas GOPUSA.com owner. They will not talk about ANYTHING except that maybe 'the White House should tighten up press security credentials a little bit', and IGNORE the actual story. Pfffffttt.

Sooooo.... was McClellan the Plame leaker??????? Hmmm.

[gkhouston]

15. Only if someone told him to leak. My money is on

Rove or Cheney. Both of them are mean-spirited enough to do it. I see McClellan as a willing puppet but not that much of an independent string-puller.

[FreedomAngel82]

37. LOL

Them not knowing each other? Yeah, right! Everybody who is there from Texas is there for some reason and some payback from Bush.

[luaptifer]

16. is there a ring around it? a few dejavoodoo vibes

coming through here maybe...

i posted this on dKos a few days ago, more to titillate than anything. but Bu$h senior and friends had some stuff going on back when that might be of interest in this context. i don't remember being aware of it at the time but there was apparently a HOMOSEXUAL CHILD PROSTITUTION RING INVOLVING GEORGE BUSH SR.

ARCHIVE OF PUBLISHED ARTICLES OF YET ANOTHER OF MASSIVELY SUPPRESSED STORY INVOLVING THE FAMILY WHO IS ABOVE ALL LAWS - THE BUSHES

In the high stakes world of global politics, it is common practice to procure sexual favors in the hopes to gain leverage or to gain power through blackmail. It's done all the time. The Soviets did it. The Americans do it, and many other countries as well. This following is the bizarre and very real child sexual prostitution ring involving the Republican elite of Washington. And the trail leads right up to George H. W. Bush. Read the chilling story.

SEX AND THE CAPITAL

KARLYN BARKER, WASHINGTON POST, JULY 24, 1990: The alleged leader of what authorities have called the largest male prostitution operation in the Washington area surrendered to federal agents yesterday and pleaded not guilty to racketeering charges that have been filed against him and three alleged accomplices. Henry W. Vinson, 29, of Williamson, W.Va., a coal miner's son accused of setting up the homosexual escort service, was arraigned in U.S. District Court here yesterday afternoon after turning himself in to Secret Service agents . . . At a news conference after the arraignment, Stephens said the investigation into the alleged prostitution ring "is concluded" and that the indictment, which was unsealed yesterday, focused on those who allegedly set up the ring rather than on clients who reportedly patronized it. Asked about earlier reports that some of those clients included high-level officials in the Reagan and Bush administrations, Stephens said the investigation had not revealed "additional conduct which suggests criminal conduct on behalf of other people." . . . The Vinson case provoked additional notice after The Washington Times published reports last summer suggesting that the alleged prostitution ring had been patronized by government officials. The Times named as clients several low-level government employees and Craig J. Spence, a Washington lobbyist and party-giver who, the paper said, took friends and prostitutes on late-night tours of the White House. Spence was found dead in a Boston hotel room last fall, and authorities ruled his death a suicide . . . To date, however, investigators have disclosed no evidence linking any high-level government official to the escort service.

might be useful as background in which to 'frame' this admin's PRESSTITUTION. is there a ring around it ;-) ?!

NOTE: the recently coined term should be attributed, appropriately, to onetime DUer pat_veseley, not myself

18. A little more dirt from RAW STORY

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3111069">from a thread in General Discussion

RAWSTORY: McClellan seen in gay bars!

---

2/14/2005

Reporter with prostitution links and false name got access to Bush; Questions surface on relationship with White House staff

Questions fly on Guckert’s relationship with White House

The former White House reporter for the conservative website Talon News, who resigned after his links to military escort domains appeared on the Web, is said to have paid two individuals to set up a site on which he intended to prostitute himself, RAW STORY has learned.
...
Such leveraging of personal relationships have seen increased scrutiny after the resignation of former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey, who admitted to having an affair with a male staff member.

Sources have intimated possible relationships with members of the White House staff.

RAW STORY has been told that the White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan visited a gay bar in Austin, Texas, on March 19, 1995. The date was placed exactly as a local memorial service was held on the same day.

The source, who would only comment on condition of anonymity, reserved comment on whether McClellan was actually gay, but said he was frequently seen at gay clubs. Another source also confirmed this account.

“He was often seen in gay clubs in Austin, Texas and was comfortable being there,” the Texan said. “He’s been seen in places that normal people who are looking for heterosexual relationships are not seen alone.”

25. I sent them the same page.

I didn't bother to mention Scott McClellan's history of being seen in gay bars. I figure if it hasn't hit the TV news then The Daily Show won't cover it.

You know, I sent The Daily Show many messages between Nov. 3rd and Jan 7th and they never said anything about a recount or fraud.

I think this story has the comedy value they are looking for. Especially since they have already made fun of Gannon before we knew who he was.

20. Gannon/Guckert is "Family"...

This information ties directly into this article by Wayne Madsen:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=319647&mesg_id=319647

This is their "family" business and its "values" getting outted. Look at the two issues and you'll quickly see that they're linked at the hip. Guckert/Gannon is one of the "Family's" children / plants. Follow Gucker/Gannon and he'll lead you directly to the top of their power structure.

And if you're feeling frisky you can add this little tid-bit into the mix:

24. The Conservative Voice. Searching Yahoo on this topic

I found this thread at The Conservative Voice:

http://www.theconservativevoice.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2952

Keep going down the page to some of the later posts and you will find sentiments being expressed that are not so different from what I've read here and at DailyKos. Well, except maybe the one that is a prayer.

This story is a wedge that will drive even staunch conservatives to recognize the complete corruptness of the "*" administration.

Who was it that blew the horn and the walls came tumbling down?

[HR_Pufnstuf]

27. Olbermann makes mention of this breaking scandal.

And showed a photo of a topless Gannon, and said the photo included "dangling participles".

28. On the monday show?

I didn't watch the whole program.

[dzika]

30. It was #1 on oddball tonight (2/14)

He just said a few sentences so I didn't bother posting the video.

Olbermann's comment was funny, though.

[FreedomAngel82]

39. Do you have a video of

Olbermann's comments?

[SaveAmerica]

31. Dzika, are you the person that records and posts tv clips and

footage here at DU? I remember seeing a clip of Countdown when the story first came out, they were showing a montage of some of the 'questions' Gannon asked GW and McClellon. After he asked GW a question he (w) leaned over to get a drink of water and there was something about the expression on his face, like he was trying to hide something, using the glass to hide his expression. I might be making a mountain out of a mole hill but this was before all this extra stuff came out that I felt like something was just not right with GW in the clip (well, more than usual).

[dzika]

33. I don't remember which clip you are talking about.

The Daily Show clip has a good shot of Bush turning up the cup of water while Gannon is asking his silly question.

Anyway, here are the clips I have about Gannon. Maybe you can find the one that you want.

40. I would love to see that clip

Maybe it's one of those inside jokes friends/lovers have? :shrug: Know what I mean? Heh heh. Or maybe because he thought he was being sneaky with this guy asking him these questions and he's like a little kid playing a prank on someone. :shrug:

[SharonRB]

34. If this whole saga had happened to Clinton,

you can bet the Repubs and the media would have been all over it ad nauseum. Monica was nothing compared to this. We need to keep it front and center so they can't ignore it. I know Keith has been talking about it, but I'm not sure who else is giving it much coverage.

[The Time is Now]

35. My e-mail to CNN

Perhaps because hopeless causes are the ones most worth fighting for, I just sent this note to CNN:

I find it astounding that there has been so little coverage of the Gannon/Guckert affair. I believe that this is a story of far greater national and even international importance than, say, the Michael Jackson case. If the level of coverage of these two cases were even equal, I could understand. However, what coverage I have seen, amazingly, tends to minimize the seriousness of this problem. Such dismissals have been the main focus of reports by Wolf Blitzer, Howard Kurtz, and Judy Woodruff.

Doesn't anyone at CNN find the circumstances of this case odd, and even dangerous?

How did a male prostitute gain such close access to the President of the United States?

What role did he play in the treasonous disclosure of CIA agent Valerie Plame?

I don't think it necessary to plumb the lurid depths of this affair, but CNN and other outlets were only too happy to plumb away in the case of Clinton's Lewinsky indiscretion. But the present case is, on its face, clearly one of greatest concern: The "news agency" that this "reporter" represented, an arm of GOPUSA, had only been in business for five days when "Gannon" was granted White House clearance. Why is this not newsworthy? Why should its seriousness be summarily dismissed?

One is only left with speculation. The fact that CNN continues to have in its employ Robert Novak, the "leakee" in the Plame affair, gives a bad apparance.

Finally, it has become the belief of many that CNN and other organs of the major media have been cowed by this administration into a submissive stance. Hard questions are never asked. The media cheerled us into the war in Iraq, and is now asking no hard questions about the latest target, Iran. You may have come to believe that your function is what used to be known as that of "semi-official news agency," but it is not too late to awaken from your slumber.

Your nation needs you.

Desperately.

I knew that I could have added, "You're hurting America," but it seems that someone had already beaten me to it.

[SharonRB]

41. Good letter.

Let's see if they actually start covering it.
