Speaking with Richard about the specifics of the money find is important. However, there is another issue that we need to address at some point, and that is the cattle mutilations in 1991 on the Fazio property.
I talked at length with both Al and Richard about this subject, and Richard has a file on it.
Now, cattle mutilation is a tricky topic. The cops poo-poohed it - Clark County Sheriff's, specifically - and said it was a satanic cult thingy. The vets from the Oregon State University said it was advanced surgery performed with instrumentation that only the top-notch hospitals would utilize, and never in the field.
The last time we talked about it, our fellow Internet sleuths at the DZ came up with numerous other sites in SW WA and Oregon where cattle mutilations had occurred in close proximity to the 1991 date at the Fazios.
So, what is going on? This is where we need to step up our investigation. The leading investigator of cattle mutilations is former NBC TV reporter Linda Moulton Howe. She has written a book on cattle mutilations, called Strange Harvest, which is a good read and I recommend it.
Moulton Howe currently says that the cattle mutilations are carried out by rogue governmental operatives using back-engineered technology from extraterrestrials - including the full array of devices - the hovering UFO craft, blue tractor-beams, and the necessary surgical instrumentation - all designed to scare the bejeesus out of everybody. Or more likely to discredit those who look into the phenomenon - a super-duper Fake News scenario.
Supporting Moulton Howe's theories is Dr. Steven Greer, who is the author and primary spokesperson for the Disclosure Project, the effort to get the government to 'fess up to the UFO stuff. Greer has a lot to say about cattle mutilations, the how and why they are conducted, and by whom.
Richard Fazio told me that he and Al didn't want Linda Moulton Howe and her team of researchers to investigate the mutilations on Lower River Rd because they had had enough with the TV crews and guys like EU and me. So, they kept it quiet.
But when Galen was spending summers with Richard Tosaw, they built a trusting relationship with Richard and Al. A few years ago the Fazios told Galen about the cattle mutilations, and Galen told me. When I met with Al and Richard in 2011, they confirmed the story that Galen had told me, and they showed me their file. It confirmed the surgical cuts of selected body parts, such a pieces of jaw bone, eyes and other sensory organs, and some genitalia.
So, is there a link to this phenomenon and DB Cooper? Maybe, but with two mysteries in one place it's tough to not make a connection. But even if it's a misdirection and a MF, what would be the motivation by powerful people to muddy the waters of T-Bar?
EU, I hope you can get Richard and Al to be our guests at the V-23 on Friday.... it's time for a beer....
... and possibly a consult with Linda Moulton Howe and Dr. Steven Greer.
