Well, Nash has definitely been tracking Mancheck. And from the looks of it, he was (or is) close to proving something major. I’m guessing that’s what Stone was alluding to when he mentioned Nash in the congressional transcript… but I can’t quite figure out what kept Nash from getting the evidence he needed to go public with his story.

Apparently Nash spoke with a handful of soldiers about war-related illnesses… so maybe he and Stone had spoken at some point about Stone’s theories regarding Mancheck and chemical exposure after that bombing in 1993?

Either way, I don’t quite see how any of this relates to Piedmont. But I’m definitely siding with Stone and Nash: Mancheck’s not turning out to be the most inspiring figure. From what I’ve learned of him, it seems like indecent and immoral are his specialties.

I have no clue how, but a few of you already managed to figure out the login information to access Nash’s private files. I haven’t had time to take a close look at what’s there yet, but I wanted to let the rest of you know the password. Maybe you’ll be able to make sense of the files, or see something I’m missing?

From what I can tell so far, it looks like Stone’s passing comment in the Congressional transcript was correct: Nash was attempting to gather evidence about Mancheck’s motives and actions during Desert Storm.

Another significant development: just received a classified document from two different readers of this blog. Neither will tell me where the document came from, but both claim its a reliable source. Don’t know how their source managed to get access to this, but I’m grateful to have more people working on figuring this out.

It’s a partial transcript from a sealed Congressional session held in 1995, and it seems to cast more light on Mancheck’s actions in Iraq. You’ve got to read this…

The transcript contains private statements made by a Dr. Jeremy Stone, outlining his suspicions about the presence of biological and chemical weapons in Iraq during Desert Storm, and a possible cover-up that took place. And he singles out Mancheck as the person responsible for it!

I’ve got to admit, I’m a little bit surprised Dr. Stone would stand up in front of a Congressional committee and say that stuff without hard evidence… but if what he’s saying is true, this isn’t the first time Mancheck has been connected to some undercover black ops-type stuff.

Not sure what to make of Dr. Stone. You don’t testify in front of Congress unless your opinions carry weight, so I’m assuming he’s well-connected… and if he is, maybe he’ll be able to help me get some real answers.

A quick search turned up his personal website, so I’ll try sending Dr. Stone an e-mail and see what I can find out.

Sorry if I scared anyone yesterday… that last video was just hard to deal with.

I’m forcing myself not to think about it anymore.

To avoid obsessing, I spent this morning following Wheezer and Danielle’s suggestions about looking into Mancheck’s connection with Iraq… and with a little bit of persistence, was able to find one additional article about the elusive General:

Mancheck obviously has a great deal of power within the military, but it has been difficult to find out much more than that. I guess this establishes that he was promoted sometime between April 1993 (when this article ran), and June 2004, when the previous article was published… but I’m not sure if there’s any significance in that.

Apparently before he started covering up the events in Piedmont, he was a major force in Desert Storm. Back then he was just affiliated with the DoD. I wonder when he shifted his attention to biological defense.

Mancheck’s not an easy person to research. He seems to be an underground character in terms of his communications, and as Nicholas mentioned on Facebook, there’s nothing about him in Wikipedia or Google.

It took most of the morning, but I was able to find this one mention of him:

So Mancheck works in the Military Office of Biodefense, and he’s got oversight on projects involving satellites and space communications.

Plus, we have a second name: Ferrus.

I’m still too drained to be excited by this news, but at least it feels like I’m getting somewhere. A lot of you have said you’ve served in the military… has anyone ever come across Mancheck?
