DEATH THREAT AGAINST IAN GODDARD

DEATH THREAT AGAINST IAN GODDARD

Ian Goddard has publicly rescinded his rather well-argued theory that TWA Flight 800 was shot down by a U.S. Navy missile. He has also apologized to the Navy and to the families of the victims of the crash who may have been upset by his hypotheses. While we all should feel great sorrow for the families and be careful not to make unsubstantiated accusations against the U.S. Navy and Government, there also should be a critical eye applied to what occurred on that mid-July evening well over a year ago. The pieces of the puzzle simply don't add up, and Mr. Goddard, one who seems to have once had a penchance for questioning authority and the government's story on things, correctly pointed out one suspicious piece after another and showed how they might add up in a way the Government would earnestly try to hide.

Now, however, Mr. Goddard has closed down his web site, rescinded his ideas and apparently capitulated to authority. Maybe what's below has something to do with this about-face...

FROM IAN GODDARD, MARCH OF 1997:

Check out the carefully crafted death threat I just got
from the for-real military-intelligence operative Ron
Lewis. Obviously I don't have to watch my back for my
"Iranian paymasters" to kill me because they exist only
in Ron's DISOP concoctions, but what a perfect way to
knock me off and try to make it work for their Iranian
fabrication. Cunning and devious to say the least!!
What he sent seems to be written for the public,
yet I have no evidence that it was posted. ??
Please let me know if you do.

Here's the cunning death threat, please save it:

HERE'S THE THREAT...

I would fully expect to see Parveez Syed in London or their friend Eric Margolis in Paris come out with something that virtually photocopies the above comments. In fact, I would not be surprised if they have already done so and Goddard is copying them. Would lay money on it, in fact.

I would advise watching Mr. Goddard very closely and ensuring his continued good health. This arrogant moron is obviously too clueless to understand that the more he accuses the US government and FBI of "murder", the more likely he makes it that Iran will dispose of him. It would cement the TWA 800 "friendly fire" myth for years to come, increase suspicion that Iran Goddard (oops, Ian Goddard) was "really on to something and had to be silenced." Meanwhile, it would be one less potential leak, one less payroll to have to meet and, above all, he is such an obviously high-strung nut that he is unpredictable. He whines and screams like a spoiled child every time something doesn't go his way and his rants about 60 Minutes reveal that he is crying for attention. Iran's MOIS may see him as more of a security threat (not to mention that his continued blathers give me more information and his carelessness helped me to link him with Salinger, Margolis, Russell, Shoemaker, Rivero and Parveez Syed.

I am concerned for my own safety in pushing this issue but I think Goddard is one who should REALLY be worried. He served his purpose by getting the web page out there, introducing his nonsense at the same time Salinger did his dirty work, and made great strides in getting this nonsense into the public eye. Now, particularly as it looks as though the FBI will be asking for charges to be brought against the Salinger and Goddard element to help make up for the obstruction of the investigation, Iran will almost certainly realize that this guy is a squealer and whiner. That means he'll blow the whistle to weasel out of anything. That is something they cannot afford. The more he pumps out talk of "murder", the more likely he makes it that the next one might be his.

For all of his many faults, Goddard could prove to be a key witness in any future court trials. He may be worthless scum, but there may yet be worth in making sure he does not meet with an Iranian-ordered accident. Of course, any surveillance of this jerk would have to be top-notch or he would probably start whining about "intimidation."

Sincerely,

Ron Lewis
