"Gingrich was in Washington to give support to House Republicans who are calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to reconvene the chamber and vote on the American Energy Act, a Republican bill designed to address America's dependence on foreign oil. "

Connecting the dots: the Shays/Gingrich Connection

Christopher Shays has listed former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich as his political inspiration, saying "Newt Gingrich is my hero."[7]
http://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/28/ma...pagewanted=all

^ Shays does know the details, and he admits that "there's a part of me that wonders if it's as well thought out as I'd like it to be." But, he adds, "I'll take almost any alternative over what we've got now." And on the day the measure passed the House, Shays was standing at Gingrich's side, paying homage with the familiar phrases. "What I had to wrestle with was, in my heart I thought I was a caring person," he said. "But I realized I was a caretaking person. And today, what we have shown is that we are a caring country." And then the unlikely convert concluded with the least likely words: "Newt Gingrich is my hero."

Newt Gingrich, like Lance Morgan, has ties to Iran-Contra:

Is it a coincidence then that Newt Gingrich has hired Robert McFarlane as part of his advisory team on National Security? Who's Robert McFarlane?

"Robert McFarlane, one might recall, was National Security Adviser to Ronald Reagan when the Iran/Contra scandal broke and became famous as the man who went to Iran with a cake in the shape of a key, and a Bible. McFarlane ended up pleading guilty to four misdemeanor charges related to withholding information from Congress. "

More on Gingrich/Powell-Tate

Electric Boat, whose PR is--again-- handled by Powell-Tate, was run by John Rowland, who helped Newt Gingrich get his first position in Congress http://articles.dailypress.com/1995-.../9506250066_1_...

Years later, [John Rowland] heavily lobbied then-Speaker Newt Gingrich to support the purchase of a 1.5 Billion dollar Seawolf submarine
http://articles.courant.com/1995-05-...05200201_1_sea...

The US purchased the submarine
http://articles.courant.com/1996-07-...07040077_1_sea...

The Billion dollar submarine had several leaks, but we bought it anyway

The media exposes it itself is the only way "the masses" will ever hear about this. Not gonna happen.

Kudos to the guy that did the initial(apparently quick/easy) investigating here, I'm seeing the DPers are really finding a lot on Gingrich and how he has ties to ALL of this.

[Student Of Paulism]

Figures a pos like Newt would have yet another pos like Macfarlane on his campaign staff. FFs, can this guy get any more radioactive?

[jdcash]

How convenient for all this to come out as 'Breaking News'... then Gingrich is the first one of the candidates to come out and say something about it.

Then, we find all these links to Gingrich.

[jdcash]

Also, what do you guys think of the Gov. Branstad link?

So far it's like this:

Gloria Borger, CNN Political Analyst -----> Husband - Lance Morgan, works for Powell-Tate.

Lance Morgan is a lobbyist for the military industrial complex. He's all caught up in the Iran-Contra cover-up, Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Agra, and Biotech.

Christina Martin ---- Worked for Newt Gingrinch as Press Secretary... then Exec VP of Powell-Tate.

Another woman, Suzanne Wilson-Houck, was a Gingrich staffer... then went on to work for Powell-Tate

So Now we have a Gingrich-Powell Tate Connection


Back to Christina Martin... She also was an Aide/Staff of Gov Terry Branstad.

[sailingaway]

the man is pure oozing slime.

I should have known it was Gingrich all along.

[AlexMerced]

*raises fist and stares into the air* GINRICH!!!

[mello]

Now that is what I call investigative journalism.

[rich34]

Maybe Ron spoiled his appointment as nominee with that ad. Who knew he could turn the entire media against Ron.

[Liberty Shark]

Newt Gangrene is largely irrelevant. Therefore I wouldn't be too concerned. However, if he does really bad in Iowa, expect him to get angry and go on a wild attack agenda. He could be a real pest, as the one thing he does (somewhat) decently is mash together a bunch of sophisticated words that occasionally sound intelligent, yet really are grammatically nonsensical.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

None of it will help him. Even if Newt got the best possible outcome and destroyed Ron Paul, all he would do is pave the way for Romney. He's way down in third in Iowa...there's no way he could make up that gap and win. Then he loses NH and it would be all downhill from there, when he can't even make ballots. Would he even get the VP nod? Hell no, Romney has all but announced his choice as Rubio.

Peter Carson, Powell-Tate Exec. VP

We need this written up in a way that can be spread around the net!

Well, they also source an article here

[Emmitt2222]

Didn't Doug Wead recently say that some of the attacks on RP were coming at the behest of another campaign? He didn't say who, but could this be the link and could they actually be aware of it inside the Dr. Paul's campaign already? Yuck, politics is even dirtier than I ever imagined. He is so brave soldiering all of this in the name of Liberty. What a burden to bear.

[Anti Federalist]

Now, tie them to that POS Sean Shamity, who was the media talking head that started all this again, and you've got it all figured out.

[robertwerden]

Sent this over to a producer at Freedom Watch. Good work!!

[thehungarian]

That was a very interesting read. I don't doubt it at all.

[donnay]

Also James Kirchick is also connected with Gingrich in a think-tank group called Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD).

[opinionatedfool]

We need to share this everywhere and maybe make a video. It would be good to contact all ron paul's media friends with this as well... alex jones, judge nap., etc

[PaleoPaul]

Let's be careful here.

Remember when Mark Block, Herman Cain's chief of staff, accused Rick Perry of "leaking" the "love affairs." The accusations further damaged Cain's campaign and made Cain look vindictive.

Let's not go down that path.

[PaleoPaul]

I could see Gingrich being the culprit, though.

He tried to stop Paul from winning his Texas seat in 1996. Now that Paul is a stumblingblock to his desired victory, he REALLY wants to unleash Hell. I can see it.

[LibertyEagle]

As far as the voters are concerned, I doubt they care who leaked the newsletters. They just care whether it is true or not and whether it will damage Paul's electability.

So, in my opinion, if we make a big deal about Gingrich leaking this, it will just make us look foolish.

Just my 2 cents worth.

[LibertyEagle]

Regarding Iowa's Governor, didn't Bruno say he contacted his office and they said Politico had misconstrued what he had said? I thought the Governor was going to issue a statement about it or something.

Did he never do it?

[gerryb]

yeah he backtracked from saying if ron paul won people would look to #2 and #3 for who to elect in new hampshire...

THIS.

Look, if you want to simply engage in retaliatory propaganda by spreading the word about these connections, that's all well and good and people can draw their own conclusions.

But we should not go around claiming as truth things that we don't have sufficient evidence of. If there's no clear evidence that, say, Gingrich had a hand in this, don't go claiming to know as much, and for the love of god don't push our media friends like Judge Nap to do so either. What if they listen to you and don't do their due diligence? There's a risk of backfire in situations like this.

But by all means investigate this as much as possible and hopefully we'll find something solid.

[jdcash]

Updated first post.

I need feedback.

So, in my opinion, if we make a big deal about Gingrich leaking this, it will just make us look foolish.

Just my 2 cents worth.

We don't need to connect Newt Gingrich to the newsletters. He's already done it himself.

Actually, Newt Gingrich has made 6 or 7 foolish statements in the last week, including attacking Ron Paul on the newsletters and calling all his supporters druggies. Anyone paying attention only needs to know that. The statements about arresting all judges, the palenstines are an invented people, etc, are all really silly mistakes, as well as not getting on the ballot in his own state Virginia. Is Gingrich even a serious candidate, or is he just there to block for Romney?

Don't mention Newt Gingrich in relationship to Ron Paul. Just mention Newt Gingrich. He's his own worse enemy.
