McHenry's office confirms tie to shooter Drake
Submitted by Drama Queen on Tue, 09/04/2007 - 3:33am
The story of the Florida double murder and suicide of three Republican activists with ties to McHenry gets stranger and stranger every day.
We were the first to report off-the-record sources tying McHenry to victim and dirty-tricks operative Ralph Gonzalez.
We've reported that the North Carolina Conservative has tied McHenry to the shooter, Drake (who has ties to Rutherford County and was buried there).
But now, according to Howie Klein at Down With Tyranny McHenry's staff is admitting the connection:
As we mentioned yesterday, Drake, a former marine, also is alleged to have a strong relationship-- both intimate and business/political-- with right-wing Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC). When I spoke to McHenry's office about this they at first insisted they never heard of Drake then, confronted with specifics, admitted they know him. They refused to put Congressman McHenry on the phone. There is every indication that McHenry may have been one of the Republican elected officials who was using the services of the gay prostitution agency connected to Drake. Our pals over at the BradBlog points out the connections between Florida's ultra-corrupt, vote-tampering congressman, Tom Feeney, and Gonzalez and reports the threat to expose the list of Republican elected officials who were using the gay escort service.
I have several sources connecting McHenry professionally with shooter Drake and with victim Gonzalez. This is the first on-the-record confirmation of a relationship of any kind. The escort service/gay porn connection has yet to be made on the record, as far as I am know.
Again, this story is so bizarre. I can't reiterate enough the oddity of the police comments. They originally said August 23 that the murder/suicide was the result of a lover's triangle. On August 27 they're saying
"What prompted him to go in and commit that crime remains undetermined and may never be known," Picanzo said. "We have had so many different and conflicting statements from people."
Since when do the police say the crime motive will never been known this early in an investigation? It makes no sense.
On another front, the source who repeatedly tied Jason Drake to the porn industry and escort service now says he made it all up. Or someone posted on my site using his name . . . Damon Kruezer, a blogger who covers the gay porn industry, has written repeatedly that Jason Drake was attempting to blackmail the murder victims Gonzalez for money to pay for the legal case of his supposed lover, Harlow Cuadra. Someone using his name (but blocking his profile) commented on my earlier post:
I must admit that I made the story up... it was simply done to try and draw more viewers to my blog.
Sorry.
I have no idea if this is the actual Damon Kreuzer. I have seen several comments by him and others denouncing his story. I have heard off-the-record sources confirm that it is true. Howie Klein has the same information I do and continues to post that McHenry and Drake were lovers.
Even if it's the real Damon Kruezer who is denying his original story, the points he made on his website, and also at the Howie Klein's post at Down With Tyranny, (who had linked to my BlueNC post) are still valid:
The fact that prominent Republicans were liquidated in this manner should raise major warning signs . . . Yet, the mainstream media have consistently downplayed it and done no followup. You have to wonder why.
Also, the same sources that connected Drake to McHenry off-the-record have tied him to homosexual predatory behavior of an organized nature.
And let's not forget that, more importantly, Gonzalez, who was out to his friends, had ties to Ralph Reed when he took over the Georgia Republican Party and used unethical tactics to beat Senator Max Cleland. He was also the campaign chair for the ethically-challenged Tom Feeney's congressional campaign as well as his state rep campaign after which Feeney became house speaker and got involved in a software-buying scandal involving Yang Enterprise. Feeney is best known for his vote-rigging scheme (which has ties to an unexplained death of a Florida state investigator in Valdosta GA), Jack Abramoff, and a variety of unethical smear tactics against Democratic candidates.
Meanwhile, others are still looking for the tie between Drake and the Pennsylvania porn murder trial. I have other sources who say McHenry has ties to organized homosexual predatory behavior. Nothing on this particular gay escort service out of Norfolk/Virginia Beach.
So far.

Anyone with detective and/or research skills: I could sure use your help!
I've had a couple people offer to donate to a fund to hire a PI or opposition researcher but two donations won't cut it. Plus, how do we decide when to release the information. If it's through the Democratic Party, they would want to strategize for the best results. Like Pat wins the primary but is too wounded for or gets taken out before the general.
I'd just as soon get this guy gone rather than strategize on timing. Any thoughts out there?

Don't worry! You have got it out there....This story will continue grow big time.....The cover up is starting to fall apart like a Republican San Francisco Bathhouse. Just keep pounding the story....
Resign now Patty!
McHenry Strategery
I think he has a winning strategy: perpetrate so many scandals, outrages, and misdeeds that A) nobody can possible sort out all the threads, and B) the story becomes so grotesque as to be unbelievable.
What paper is going to be able to publish the story that a Representative is connected to perjury, undocumented workers, election fraud, murder, and sexual misconduct?

McHenry Strategery? Hid Patty!

Not the Mainstream Media......They are already bought, own, control, and run by the Corporate Globalism mob. It's sites like this that expose and scare the heck out of them.........The net drives them nuts......
I think you've got it Jerimee
I've gotten several comments and emails from the same guy trying to convince me Damon dude is wrong. The problem with his concern is that the connection of Drake to McHenry has nothing to do with the Pennsylvania murder connection. It has just been mentioned as a potential motive.
My interest in Damon's comments were more based on his conclusion that something is being covered up and that event the murder-suicide story is suspicious.
McHenry's problems do not go away if we discount Jason Drake's connection to the Pennsylvania murder.
And I doubt very seriously that Howie Klein called McHenry's office and forced them to admit to a relationship with Drake by using specifics gotten off of a gay porn internet site. Howie Klein has another source of information. One I wish I had!

In the tradition of Drew Pearson's and Jack Anderson's famous "Washington Merry-Go-Round" syndicated column and I.F. Stone, this online publication tackles the "politically incorrect" and "politically embarrassing" stories and holds government officials accountable for their actions. This web site extends a warm open invitation to whistleblowers and leakers. Business as usual for the crooks and liars in Washington, DC, is over.

I had a coherent post for you, DQ, but it was eaten. Just as well. There's no sense in having someone tell me yet again, 'you make too much sense'. (Like that's a bad thing)
My God, what is with these people, anyway?
Patty - we don't care if you're gay - we just can't stand a liar - dig it?
Now you've got me curious, Unique!
I try to think that eaten posts are supposed to be eaten but it never feels that way when it happens.
Hey, DU has picked up my post on this from Scru Hoo and I tried to log in to comment but I'm on a strange computer and it seems to be fighting me. Go over and say hello if anyone feels inclined.

Who Knowz? Too Close to the Truth?
It doesn't want to load there either but my question is:
It's hard not to think of all kinds of crazy plots
but right now I have to stick to what I can find witnesses or evidence to support!

DU ain't lettin' go
and neither is anyone else. G'd love you for staying on this (I do!!). I haven't checked C&L... have you submitted anything over there?
McHenry's comeuppance can't be far off. He's pissed off and stomped on too many people. And nobody likes a pushy bottom. Just sayin'.

I've been sending them links for their
blog round-up but not this week.
I guess I could try again. Thanks fo the encouragement.
What's so funny about this guy is that people keep coming out of the woodwork with more information.
Last night I just got an email about have a whole new set of sources on an entirely different angle. I don't even think they know my blog urls or my "pen" name. Just an old lead I had been pursuing.
I think this guy has so much going on and so many enemies that anyone who wants to look at him just has to turn over the rocks and voila! Instant scandal.
