The Wellstone Crash and The Reuther Crash
Were they Deliberate?
On
May 9, 1970, just a few days after the murders at Kent
State, and just after the great labor leader Walter
Reuther had come out strongly against the invasion of
Cambodia which had caused hundreds of campuses around
the nation to close in protest, he died in a plane crash
which some suspected had been deliberately caused. Here's
a section from America, a History in Verse,
Volume 3 (1962-1970) on the Reuther crash.
He was a great labor leader
—president of the United Auto Workers
from 1946 until his chartered Lear jet crashed
this day
His leadership evolved during the historic
sit-down strikes of the 1930’s
that helped create the UAW
He demanded his union’s workers get
cost-of-living raises
health and pension benefits
& when he was president of the
Congress of Industrial Organizations
he worked to merge it in ’55
w/ the American Federation of Labor
A Democratic Socialist of great charisma
he’d recently chaired a convention of the UAW
with 4,000 delegates
J. Edgar Hoover had hounded him
for decades
& Reuther had the day before his crash
come out strongly against
the invasion of Cambodia.
He had cooperated with his brother Victor Reuther’s
successful exposure of CIA manipulation
of labor unions
The twin-engine Lear Jet
had brought the singer Glen Campbell
to Detroit earlier in the day
and then in the evening
carried Walter Reuther, his wife May & 4 others
toward a spot in northern Michigan
where it crashed about 9:30 into trees as it was coming in to land
killing all
There has always been a trickle of speculation
that it was sabotaged
The federal study of the crash
indicated that the altimeter had 7 defects
& possibly had malfunctioned
& it’s possible someone had tampered with it

Wellstone
Here's a letter a friend sent us from the Internet regarding
the crash of Paul Wellstone just before election-time
2002, when he was comfortably ahead in the Senate race
in Minnesota. If Wellstone was murdered, it was one
of the greatest acts of treason since 1968.Duluth News
Tribune | 11/20/2003 | One man's opinion: Evidence indicates
that Wellstone crash was no accident Posted on Thu,

Point of View by JIM FETZER One man's opinion: Evidence
indicates that Wellstone crash was no accident Minnesota
Sen. Paul Wellstone was a serious man who cared profoundly
about his fellow citizens. He took courageous stands
against an administration that he viewed with profound
suspicion, arguing eloquently against tax cuts for the
rich, the subversion of the Constitution, and violating
international accords. He would have led the opposition
to the war in Iraq if only he had had the chance. Everyone
knew it and he may have died because of it.
For nearly a year now, evidence has been accumulating
about the event that ended the life of this magnificent
human being. Whatever caused the crash was not the plane,
the pilots or the weather. In spite of what you may
have heard, the plane was exceptional, the pilots well-qualified
and the weather posed no significant problems. Even
the National Transportation Safety Board's own simulations
of the plane, the pilots and the weather were unable
to bring the plane down.
This means we have to consider other, less palatable,
alternatives, such as small bombs, gas canisters or
electromagnetic pulse, radio frequency or High Energy
Radio Frequency weapons designed to overwhelm electrical
circuitry with an intense electromagnetic field. An
abrupt cessation of communication between the plane
and the tower took place at about 10:18 a.m., the same
time an odd cell phone phenomenon occurred with a driver
in the immediate vicinity. This suggests to me the most
likely explanation is that one of our new electromagnetic
weapons was employed. The politics of the situation
were astonishing.
The senator was pulling away from the hand-picked candidate
of the Bush machine. Its opportunity to seize control
of the U.S. Senate was slipping from its grasp. Its
vaunted "invincibility" was being challenged
by an outspoken critic of its most basic values. Targeted
for elimination, he was going to survive. Here's one
man's opinion: Under such conditions, the temptation
to take him out may have been irresistible. Among the
striking indications that something was wrong with the
NTSB in its inquiry into the causes of the crash is
that Carol Carmody, a former employee with the CIA,
the head of the team, announced the day after that the
FBI had found no indications of terrorist involvement.
Yet it is the responsibility of the NTSB to ascertain
the cause of the crash, which has yet to be determined
to this very day. So how could the FBI possibly know?
The FBI's prompt arrival was peculiar. As Christopher
Bollyn of American Free Press reported ( www.rumormillnews.net,
Oct. 29, 2002), "According to Rick Wahlberg, then
St. Louis County sheriff, a team of FBI agents was quickly
on the crash site about noon, less than an hour after
(assistant manager Gary) Ulman and the (fire) chief
had first located the site and found a way to access
the wreck. This FBI team had come from the distant Twin
Cities in record time!" When Bollyn "asked
Ulman if he had notified the FBI about the accident,
Ulman said he had not spoken with the bureau at any
time. Asked how the FBI got to the site so quickly,
Ulman said that he assumed they had come from Duluth.
AFP contacted the Duluth office of the FBI and was told
that the team of 'recovery' agents had not come from
Duluth but had traveled from the FBI office in Minneapolis."
I calculate that this team would have had to have left
the Twin Cities at about the same time the Wellstone
plane was taking off. Gary Ulman confirmed to me that
the FBI had been on the scene no later than 1 p.m. I
have reviewed the log books maintained by the Sheriff's
Department at Eveleth and have discovered that they
are grossly incomplete and cannot confirm when the FBI
showed up.
The FAA has told me that its records of private aircraft
arriving in Duluth that morning have been destroyed,
even though they might verify the FBI's early arrival.
And the NTSB has canceled sessions where it would ordinarily
take input from the public. Michael Ruppert (fromthe
wilderness.com, Nov. 1, 2002) has reported, "The
day after the crash I received a message from a former
CIA operative who has proven extremely reliable in the
past and who is personally familiar with these kinds
of assassinations. The message read, 'As I said earlier,
having played ball (and still playing in some respects)
with this current crop of reinvigorated old white men,
these clowns are nobody to screw around with. There
will be a few more strategic accidents. You can be certain
of that.' " If you think that's a stretch, consider:
Hundreds of young Americans have been put in harm's
way by a war that was promoted on the basis of lies
about weapons of mass destruction, collaboration with
Osama bin Laden, and Sept. 11. Some 3,000 Americans
were killed when the Twin Towers collapsed, and yet
the president and the vice president of the United States
have done everything they can to obstruct a open and
honest investigation of the causes of that traumatic
event. And when a leak from his own administration leads
to the exposure of a CIA operative concerned with weapons
of mass destruction, the President tells us "we
may never know." This is a corrupt administration.
One of the oddest events since the election is that
Wellstone's successor in the U.S. Senate, Norm Coleman,
has been placed in charge of the Senate Investigations
Committee. That is an extraordinarily sensitive responsibility
to be placed upon a freshman senator with no previous
experience. My guess would be that it has never happened
before. But the reasoning behind it may not be that
difficult to fathom: Would anyone be less inclined to
pursue the Wellstone death? One man's opinion: The evidence
presented here and elaborated elsewhere in detail establishes
a prima facie case that this death was no accident,
that the motives were political and begs the question:
Was the White House involved? An investigation by the
St. Louis County prosecutor would be most welcome. In
the chorus of memories for a man who made a difference,
let us bear in mind that truth is our only defense against
an onslaught of lies that have dominated a media that
appears too weak or too complicit to resist.

at University of Minnesota Duluth, is the editor of
