No one has mentioned Lila Rajiva who claimed to be from India and co-authored 'Mobs,Markets and Messiahs with Bill Bonner in 2007.Both she and Porter Stansberry emailed me in 2005 and Stansberry tried to get me to stop blogging about him at that time and tried to lure me to his office in Baltimore at that time,one year before the death of Rey Rivera.
She always claimed I (Tony Ryals) was stealing her writing.Actually I did learn about the Goldcor fraud that became Oxford Club from herand I was more than happy to give her the credit for having been my source but all the while the Goldcor fraud had been written about in newspapers from the late 1980's or early 1990's as well as the suicide or murder of its' CEO in Florida and drug scandal..
She wrote a strange book about U.S. torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraibe in Iraq shortly beforejoining Agora and Bill Bonner to write 'Mobs,Messiahs and Markets'.
Strange for someone who claims that ballet was her original profession.However she did write something about Baltimore real estate for the Baltimore Sun but it appears that the Sun has long since hidden or removed it from the internet.
She has claimed to have a degree from Johns Hopkins but in what I would have no idea.Her now disappeared mindbodypolitics.com blog has gone missing as well but she had once mentioned to have worked for Save the Children or a similar group in India at one time.I belive her Wikipedia vanity bio is still there but it doesn't come to the top of a google search like it used to.Actually I had expanded a Wikipedia vanity biography for James Dale Davidson in the early 2000s explaining he was founder of both the NTU or National Taxpayers Union AND AGORA INC ITSELF.All this real history has been erased down the memory hole.... How convenient.
Anyways I got her to contradict herself in claiming to have only heard of Rey Rivera's death in 2008 which is highly unlikely if she was emailing me in 2005 and announcing that she had just taken a job at Agora and was starting to write that book with Bill Bonner it's highly doubtful she only heard about Rivera's death in 2008 as she claimed in a debate with me on the blog link below..
I would be curious as to whether Mikita Brottman with all her Baltimore and academic connections has ever heard of Lila Rajiva who I believe was in Baltimore and certainly writing a book with Bill Bonner at the time of Rivera's death.

2. I remove things from my blog or leave them or change them because I do “guerilla blogging” – a term I explain on my site…
It’s the only way sometimes to get out information, without getting into legal trouble. Think about it. Often I am only trying to inform one or two other bloggers or readers, and there’s no need for me to retain information that would only cause me trouble. Sometimes I am trying to tackle my enemies. I have a few.
Mr. Ryals, being penniless and skulking in Central America, can commit libel with impunity. I cannot. Nor would I wish to.
3. Re Mr. Rivera. It was I who blogged about Mr. Rivera’s death…which is where Ryals got the information in the first place.
I wonder why Mr. Ryals doesn’t pose his questions to Mr. Rivera’s former colleagues who knew him and worked with him, rather than someone who never laid eyes on him and first heard of him from the internet in 2008.
Very odd.....
Lila Rajiva
Note Rajiva's writing below from her now disappeared blog which makes it very hard to believe she was unaware of Rey Rivera's death until 2008m when she read about it on the internet ! Ha.
Also Lila Rajiva always tries or tried to deceive by her straw men arguments claiming I'm wrong and she has never met ex CIA Chief George Tenet. I never said she had I said Bill Bonner and James Dale Davison had connections to him and that he asttending an Agora convention in New ORLEANS IN THE EARLY 2000s.And of course ex CIA Chief William Colby was an employee of theirs in the 1990s when he was mysterious found dead in his boat near Washington D.C. .I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AGORA'S MASONIC CONNECTIONS BUT ITS CIA CONNECTIONS OR UNDENIABLE.

I am a penny stock “fraudster”
Truth: I have never sold a stock or a penny stock ever. Any
investment advice I ever gave professionally can be found in notes in
the Daily Reckoning that can be found below. I edited the Daily
Reckoning column, did some real estate research (looking for property
that Mr. Bonner might be interested in purchasing, researched real
estate and market conditions, and wrote ONE investment report on
Goldman Sachs. Most of my time was spent on writing and editing “Mobs,
Messiahs and Markets.” I was hired for 4 hours PT work in January 2007
and signed a book contract the following summer (May 2007). Do you
really think that I could have found time to tout stocks when I was
editing 4 hours per day, researching and co-writing the book (that was
originally 1000 pages before it was cut down. All in exactly one year
flat, while writing my own articles, traveling around the world with a
laptop, house-hunting for myself and doing my own (very small time)

fabricating this out of whole cloth..........
Email To Me From Porter Stansberry,Agora Inc Just Before Rey Rivera's Death:
https://www.reddit.com/user/Alarmed-Highlight-57/comments/hrljal/email_to_me_from_porter_stansberryagora_inc_just/
VaxGen, founded in 1995. There’s a “missing link” in the history somewhere, but VaxGen is one of over 800 biotech companies founded in San Francisco’s Silicon Valley –the place that “gave birth to biotechnology”.
AidsVax, invented by Dr. Phillip Berman, became the basis of a scheme by VaxGen Inc. of California and officials of the CDC. http://briandeer.com/vaxgen-aidsvax.htm promoted as the world’s first AIDS vaccine “which flopped in two controversial clinical trials in 2003” in Bangkok Thailand and Indiannapolis, Indiana. AidsVax, in spite of its uselessness as an AIDS vaccine and its potential for “misdirecting and exhausting” the immune system which would then cause AIDS, was hovered over by a flock of official shepherds from the US govt to the WHO.
“Dr. William Heyward, head of HIV vaccine research at the CDC, had a secret deal to join the company….Heyward lobbied policymakers and was approved $8 million in grants for VaxGen…and in Jan,2000 he joined ex-CDC staffer Dr. Donald Francis, VaxGen president, who also hired former CDC deputy director Dr. Walter Dowdle”…
[left side bar quote] “Dr. Donald Francis [VaxGen president at the time] grossed nearly 4.5 million PoundsSterling from VaxGen in its first three years”..(about $7 million USD). –according to Brian Deer of the (UK) Sunday Times.
Besides providing vast personal wealth to the officers and directors of the company, VaxGen became the beneficiary of an $877 million dollar contract from the Dept. of Health and Human Services as Project BioShield funds were disseminated to develop national stockpiles against biological terror-threats. Those funds were subsequently withdrawn by HHS, which had an initial funding package of $5 billion to spend when Project BioShield was initiated.

By 2007, VaxGen was “struggling” and negotiated a merger with Raven Biotechnologies whose CEO, George F. Schreiner, became the new leader of VaxGen. James P. Panek became VaxGen’s president instead of its CEO. The company has a confusing array of shifting officers and personnel which appears consistent since its founding. As of October, 2009, VaxGen has acquired OXiGene, issued new stock, and reconfigured its leadership and ownership once again.

Brian Deer: VaxGen’s AidsVax
Materials gathered by Brian Deer from his investigation for The Sunday Times of London of VaxGen Inc of California, and its “world’s first Aids vaccine” which flopped in two controversial clinical trials in 2003
The VaxGen Experiment: During a three-continents Sunday Times investigation of the proposed Aids vaccine AidsVax, which in February and November 2003 failed in trials, Brian Deer found a crushing scientific consensus that VaxGen’s controversial technology couldn’t work, but had been promoted through political pressure and private deals. The Sunday Times Magazine October 3 1999
Evidence for the prosecution: During his inquiries, Deer was passed documents dated March 22 1999 which showed that, long before VaxGen offered shares to the public, the most important government cheerleader for AidsVax – Dr William Heyward, head of HIV vaccine research at the Centers for Disease Control – had a secret deal to join the company. Out of public duty, Deer gave some to the inspector-general, health and human services, who launched a formal inquiry
Go with the flow: From CDC in Atlanta, Heyward had lobbied policymakers and approved $8m in grants for VaxGen. But the company had already drawn this chart on his future duties, and in January 2000, he joined ex-CDC staffer Dr Donald Francis, VaxGen president, who also hired former CDC deputy director Dr Walter Dowdle to head its influential data monitoring board
United States v William L. Heyward: With Deer’s papers, federal attorneys brought charges against Heyward, accusing him of violating anti-graft laws intended to check corruption in public service. Heyward, now a VaxGen vice-president, eventually admitted the conflict, paid a $32,500 fine and escaped a high-profile criminal trial that might have proved devastating to the AidsVax project
Mission accompliced: While Heyward was still in government employment, the company directed journalists to him – as these media pack pages show – giving themselves his apparently independent endorsement. CDC’s prestige also helped the stock price of VaxGen Inc to soar following an October 1999 press announcement about the agency’s involvement. Heyward had championed VaxGen’s position for years, as in a string of science papers

Heyward had championed VaxGen’s position for years, as in a string of science papers
Investor lawsuits (1): [pdf file] Following the federal prosecution of the VaxGen vice-president Dr William Heyward, the company was hit on March 17 2003 with the first class action lawsuit alleging securities fraud. This complaint filed by attorneys Milberg Weiss in US District Court for Northern California alleges that the company concealed facts, made false claims to cause VXGN stock to trade at inflated prices, and made misleading statements on trial data. VaxGen rejected the action as meritless
Investor lawsuits (2): [pdf file] A second, third and fourth legal complaint, also rejected by VaxGen Inc, were filed by law firm groups headed by Green & Jigarjian, Haldenstein Adler and Glancy & Binkow. Others followed
Of chimps and chumps: Company claims in its IPO prospectus [pdf] as to why they say they believed AidsVax would work rested on antibodies in volunteers during small-scale tests, and two unverifed experiments described by AidsVax inventor Dr Phillip Berman in chimpanzees. Preparing a Sunday Times report for March 16 2003, Brian Deer raised abandoned AidsVax as not worthy of further development

AidsVax’s political history: Given the controversies gathered on these web-pages, one obvious question is: how did this fiasco happen? In 1998, New York Newsday reported on the intensely political background to Aids research in general and the quest for a vaccine in particular. Legal process will now try to resolve whether, against this background, VaxGen misled investors over the possibilities for AidsVax to actually have an impact on the disease. Many critics are now asking: will the law succeed where science has failed?
VaxGen product AidsVax “forgets one century of science” says expert when interviewed by Brian Deer
Scientists caught napping: On February 24 2003, VaxGen broke with its declared plans for unveiling data and announced the failure of its US clinical trial in the middle of the night, ET, giving themselves a clear run with off-hours media staff. Aids activists were outraged by the stunt, and scientists who might have challenged VaxGen’s spin on the data were for the most part asleep
Playing the race card: According to VaxGen’s results, the trial failed to show efficacy, but under company subgroup analysis it was claimed that among blacks and Asians the vaccine had astounding protective powers. VaxGen slides, however, revealed a weird clustering of infections in the placebo group – caused by one Chicago man – and message board chat raised anxieties over race
Berman’s big moment: On March 31 2003, AidsVax inventor Dr Phillip Berman made a rare appearance at one of Vaxgen’s many conference calls – this time from a symposium in Canada. During his 30-minute presentation of material from the US trial, the stock market responded, as this chart shows. In January 2004, Berman quit VaxGen, with founding president Dr Donald Francis

Work in progress: The $8m CDC grant went to five of the US centers participating in the VaxGen clinical trial. At this link, an April 2001 CDC press notice backgrounds the crucial project Heyward was involved in setting up. This substudy of VaxGen’s trial may have been badly distorted by selective recruitment of volunteers who behave abnormally compared with controls – suggested by this chart
Longtime observer: Since reporting in 1981 the first recognized death in the UK from what would later be known as Aids, Brian Deer has followed both the epidemic caused by HIV and issues connected with other vaccines, such as the DTP-DPT. His investigations for The Sunday Times in the field of medicine won him a British Press Award in 1999, the UK version of a journalism Pulitzer PrizeVehement denials: In reply to the criticisms, VaxGen Inc argued that the failed trials of AidsVax would help battle Aids, regardless of their outcome. At this link the company denies any conflict of interest by Dr Heyward, and at this link it offers its own account of the fierce opposition AidsVax has encountered, suggesting that criticisms were themselves motivated by conflicts of interest
Stansberry spam: For all the incredulity among vaccine scientists, one man who stood above the herd with Drs Francis, Heyward and Berman was Porter Stansberry, an Agora “investment analyst” who hyped the stock and claimed to have “proof“ that AidsVax worked. Even as insiders and institutions dumped VaxGen, Stansberry’s mailshots promised miracles. He later challenged Brian Deer

The link below is Porter Stanberry's and Lila Rajiva's email to me fr6m 2005, shortly before the demise of Rey Rivera, in which Stansberry invites me to the CIA infested Agora Inc office in Baltimore to hear testimonials from his office staff acclaiming to me no doubt what a jolly good fellow he is.
I only learned of Rey Rivera's existence and demise in 2009 and so for all I know if I had been crazy enough to go to Baltimore or had the money to do so after his boss James Dale Davidson ripped me off in the Endovasc penny stock pump and dump I might have been the one found at the Belvedere and they would have had to find another drop spot for Rey Rivera. Life and death is funny that way.
James Dale Davidson and UK Lord or Lard William Rees-Mogg,(deceased), and their Agora Inc were the employers of ex CIA Chief William Colby in the 1990s when he mysteriously drowned.He told his friend John Decamp not to believe anything he wrote for their stategicinvestment.com newsletter.
Ron Paul is part of their gang and works with Porter Stansberry.
The Baltmore police chief was a Mason and even if he weren't they all know who really runs Baltimore.The FBI only helped them cover up.
Rey's wife explained that it was normal for him to write stream of conciousness notes such as the one found after his death. It is very unfortunate that she never retrieved any of his or more so Stansberry's Rebound Report stock promotion letters which may have given us a different take on his writing style,not to mention the penny stock pumps and dumps he was promoting for Stansberry,et.al...Unless of course they were ghost written by someone else and he was merely being paid to put his name on them.
Another mystery is why no one has ever posted Rebound Report tracts on the internet...........
