Rob Kane Disapeared?

Anchorage, AK-Jan. 29, 2008-Early this month I received a message that former Alaskan Rob Kane had been found dead in the Philippines by his wife Karen.

The message came from a contact of Kane's that I was familiar with, only by name. Other than that one message--no other contact has been possible.

According to the brief dispatch--he had been pushed, or jumped from a building--near or in the place that they were living on the island of Mindanao.

Neither e-mail, telephone, or Skype contact was ever returned by Kane, or his wife Karen.

My efforts to contact Kane have failed, but according to bloggers and newspaper reporters there was no story, or information about his death, or the death of a U.S. Citizen during that same time period.

The mystery of Rob Kane continues, this time with his disappearance--or death.

Stay tuned!

OIG Hiding, or Incompetence..No too busy?

Anchorage, AK-Nov. 4, 2007-The latest in the query into how the civil rights of Rob Kane were violated by the FBI while investigating Mark Avery and Security Aviation is just as puzzling as the rest of the case.
A complaint filed with the OIG by myself, "yours truly" came up with the letter posted previously, so I called the OIG office and asked them once again, Why would the OIG ask the FBI to investigate itself?
The answer is obvious, they don't want anything to do with the case complaint, or they are investigating it and don't want to let the cat-out-of-the-bag.
"We get thousands of complaints and don't have time to investigate them all," according to Cynthia Schnedar. "You will have to read our latest report of activities online and you might understand why."
But look at what she said. "Thousands of complaints."
This doesn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about our government at work.
And now the FBI has been advised to investigate itself if they find cause.
That's cause for alarm enough.
We will see if the FBI received the letter from the OIG, or is this just further a ruse to buy time...another FOIA is on its way Cynthia.
Standby.

OIG Refuses to Investigate FBI in Alaska

Anchorage, AK-Oct. 24-Amazing simply amazing.

When I sent a complaint to the Office of the Inspector General on Aug. 16 about the odd, and ruthless investigation into Security Aviation, and trial of Rob Kane by the FBI, it was lost, and I re-sent it three times.
Today I received the following letter that indicates that the OIG wants the FBI to investigate itself.
This is strange, how can this be?

Kane Trial Information Sealed by CIPA Motion

Anchorage,AK-Oct, 23-Here art the motions and letters to seal information that the U.S. Attorney's office obtained from the intelligence community. If Kane was not an operative for a U.S government agency, or other worldwide organizations, then why was this case protected by the Classified Information Protection Act?

Are we losing our "Freedom" here in the US?

Is martial law immanent in the U.S.?

Anchorage, AK-Oct. 20-I chatted yesterday with Rob Kane who is now living in the Philippines. He now has the time to take a close look at what happened during the Security Aviation investigations of 2006.

The subsequent trial where he was acquitted of possessing, ordering, and failing to register Soviet rocket launchers for L-39 jets was surely a sham, and left him with a stigma.

Despite the acquittal he can no longer travel, or work.

Although some might say that he never did work, others would argue, that's how it was supposed to look.

What a shame that after experiencing 32-days in jail, a trial, and being acquitted he is not a free man, and really he never was.

Neither are we.

Those of us who live in the U.S., pay in many forms for our birthright, some with their lives, others by taxes, most by supporting the very country where we were born in some indirect way by being a society of consumers.

To prove this point more information will be posted on this blog in the future. Should this blog disappear, or stop its postings...well you can guess what has happened to my freedom.

Please review the following posting, a transcript of a KTVA Channel 11 new story on Rob Kane's predicament.

FBI lies, the twisted truth in hopes of a conviction

(Oct. 17) Anchorage, AK-Rob Kane is alive and well in the Philippines, but he is stuck.

If ever there was a man without a country, Kane fits the definition. You see, Kane can't come back to the U.S. even "if" he wanted to.

It seems that he has been flagged by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and is on a 'watch list.'

Even after being acquitted (in a two-week court case) he is paying the price for what looks like a war between U.S. departments that are seeking power over each other. Kind of a war-within-a-war between government agencies.

But how can this be?

Americans are not war like, we are politically correct...or are we?

For some unknown reason it appears as if the FBI sold Kane out, in a self imploding war between field offices, some who work in the U.S. and other that do not.

It seems that the agents that are so visible these days in Alaska, are looking for something more than fish, and moose, but some hide. And Rob Kane's hide was exposed for awhile during the first days of the Security Aviation investigations.

Not that the the Anchorage Daily News helped any... they were spoon fed information from the FBI and published forty some stories about Kane and Avery. Sort of like picking a scab, until it bleeds, they continued to beat the feds drum.

Not knowing, FBI agents examining the Security Aviation case involving Mark Avery tripped over Kane, blindly and tried to discredit him because he was in the way of their trumped up case.

It all started over a crash in Ketchikan, AK that killed a U.S. Custom's agent. What prompted this deal to go sour? Maybe it was knowledge that Kane had, that Security Aviation's competitors feared...and someone squealed to the Feds in jealousy.

To see and hear more about how our taxes are being used please look at these online YouTube videos from KTVA Channel 11 News in Anchorage:

Only an investigation into the actions of the FBI will help control this from happening needlessly again.

OIG Spokesperson Acknowledges Complaint in Kane Case

OIG Mouthpiece Says Complaint Will be Confirmed in Writing...Finally!


Oct. 16-Anchorage, AK-After months of waiting to hear that the Office of the Inspector General had received a complaint about irregularities in the case and investigation of Rob Kane and Security Aviation, today bore some fruit.

"You will be receiving something in writing by investigations," said Cynthia Schnedar OIG media relations spokesperson and Counsellor to the Inspector General in the Washington D.C., Office of the Inspector General.

"Por Fin"-as my wife would say, finally some consistency in a world of lies and deceit. But, I won't be holding my breath for anything soon, based on previous promises. In fact my plan is to call every office of the OIG until someone has a slip of tongue.

Why this crusade, some are asking?

Well if it can happen to Rob Kane, who had worked for the U.S. Government, although in a "somewhat" darkly lit roll, a travesty could happen to anyone, including the President of the United States.

Lies by FBI agents, trumped up evidence, (Soviet Rocket launchers on an L-39...gimme a break dudes) this needs to stop, and cease now!

To make my case about this the OIG is right now investigating other cases of improprieties by the FBI.

The funny thing is that she made the exact same statement to me, " I will neither confirm or deny that an investigation is on going,"

Read this for more background from Wired:

"The Justice Department's Inspector General and the FBI are investigating an office that sent fake, emergency letters to telecoms requesting phone records, according to the Inspector Generals office. That office lacked the authority to request the records and did not apply for the subpoenas promised in the letters.That information largely confirms a a Wired News story from last week, which revealed that top FBI officials told privacy groups that a criminal investigation of the office was underway and that individuals had been granted immunity.If the investigation looks into possible criminal violations of fraud statutes or a violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, it would mark the first known investigation of government employees for violations of the Patriot Act.Cynthia Schnedar, the Counsel to the Inspector General, confirmed Thursday that a joint investigation was being conducted by the Inspector General and the FBI. She declined to specify if the investigation was criminal or administrative, saying the office's policy is not to characterize investigations.As to whether individuals in the Communications Analysis Unit had been granted immunity, Schnedar also declined to comment, saying "I can't talk about ongoing investigations."For the full Wired blog entry go to: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/07/inspector-gener.html
