One of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of the twenty-first century: the story of the world's most prolific art thief, Stéphane Breitwieser.

In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, the best-selling author of The Stranger in the Woods brings us into Breitwieser's strange world--unlike most thieves, he never stole for money, keeping all his treasures in a single room where he could admire them.

For centuries, works of art have been stolen in countless ways from all over the world, but no one has been quite as successful at it as the master thief Stéphane Breitwieser. Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years--in museums and cathedrals all over Europe--Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion.

Michael Finkel also had his identity and career damaged when a man wanted for murder stole his identity and passed himself off as Mr Finkel in Mexico.

Michael previously appeared on the Opperman Report to discuss his project 'Stranger In The Woods'

Christina Radum Verix - KIDNAP and KILL An FBI Terror Plot

Christina Radum Verix joined Ed Opperman to talk about the New Documentary detailing the events around the Whitmer Kidnapping Plot - "Kidnap and Kill: An FBI Terror Plot." which the federal government and FBI referred to as the biggest domestic terror case in a generation. The project shows the lengths the FBI and their network of 12 informants were willing to go in pursuit of a "big case," as well as the political and career motivations of those involved. It also demonstrates how the FBI drove every single aspect of this "plot," and that these men wouldn't have even met one another without the FBI. The underlined message writ large is that the FBI broke the law in this case and should be investigated.

On August 10th The Reno Worker (RW) published a Press Release from Mass Liberation Northern Nevada which claimed that the Douglas County Sheriff was working with Local far-right militias were working together on their response to a planned local Black Lives Matter (BLM) rally. In an article published the same day reporters working for the RW noted that “militia members were spotted throughout the grounds providing unofficial security aid to the Douglas County Sheriffs Office. Some of those who were present could be identified by patches. Militias that were present included the 3% Militia, the Northern Nevada Militia, as well some members of the Boogaloo Movement.” at the rally in their article “Minden, NV Proves America’s “Sun Down Towns” Are Alive and Well.

On October 22nd RW reported that these same militias had been identified by The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) as likely to work with Law Enforcement. The report notes “While these groups often define their operations in terms of defense of the public and protecting businesses, they are almost always aligned towards a particular political view. From this standpoint, through which they often see police and the US military as allies, their implicit goals overlap with preserving the long-term dominant culture of the US, largely perceived as traditionally pro-white and patriarchal systems of production and governance.”
The email from Ron Elges that was a product of a FOIA request filed by EFF.

An email was recovered by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) from Ron Elges, a member of the Douglas County Sheriffs Office, that claimed that a member of a local militia was working with the Sheriff to provide security to a Trump rally on September 12th. The email claimed the individual was patrolling the “Minden-Tahoe Airport” and had performed a number of arrests. The full email is transcribed below and pictured left.

On September 12, 2020 at approximately 0700, I received a call from [Redacted] stated he was local militia and has been securing the perimeter outside the Minden-Tahoe Airport. He stated they have spotted several individuals camping out and have arrested a few subjects. [Redacted] is in communication with with Douglas SO. [Redacted] received my phone number from the airport office and called in regards to enforcing the parking lot. He wanted to know if he should be denying people access to the parking lot.

When Ron Elges was contacted in an additional FOIA request, he denied that this, or any further emails existed.

"This book is very tough." - President Donald Trump

The Bush Crime Family smashes through the layers of lies and secrecy that have surrounded and protected our country’s most successful political dynasty for nearly two centuries. New York Times bestselling author Roger Stone lashes out with a blistering indictment, exposing the true history and monumental hypocrisy of the Bushes. In Stone’s usual “go for the jugular” style, this is a no-holds-barred history of the Bush family, comprised of smug, entitled autocrats who both use and hide behind their famous name. They got a long-overdue taste of defeat and public humiliation when Jeb’s 2016 presidential bid went down in flames.

Besides detailing the vast litany of Jeb’s misdeeds — including receiving a $4 million taxpayer bailout when his father was vice president as well as his startlingly-close alignment with supposed “enemy” Hillary Clinton — Stone travels back to Bush patriarchs Samuel and Prescott, right on through to presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush to weave an epic story of privilege, greed, corruption, drug profiteering, assassination, and lies. A new preface to this paperback edition features explosive information, including the family’s Machiavellian plan to propel Jeb’s son George Prescott Bush forward as the family’s next political contender.

The Bush Crime Family will have readers asking, “Why aren’t these people in prison?”
