Sonny Bono, Iran Contra, and Animal Puppets.

In the early 1980s Bob Fletcher owned a toy factory, called "Animal Factory" that created hand puppets made from real rabbit fur, called spring animals that became very popular in the early 1980s. He moved into a full manufacturing facility, a brand new building laid out exclusively for his company, in the Marietta Georgia area about 15 miles north of Atlanta.

Soon after, Fletcher went to New York City to a giant marketing show with 35,000 buyers from all over the world. After arriving home, he noticed a business card with an address not 40 feet from his business  in Georgia, close to the Lockheed Dobbins Air Force base. He contacted the guy on the business card, Gary Best, and later merged his operations with Best's company, VISTA USA.  Best also had another company called VISTA Distributions where he imported and sold watches to 7-11 stores, as well as many other companies prefaced with the word, VISTA,  functioning out of this one building

So "Animal Factory” became "VISTA Animal factory."  The reason for the  "VISTA" preface--Fletcher later found out--was  to kite, bounce checks, etc., between all of these different companies without raising suspicion

Anyway, Best introduced Fletcher to high ranking military officers including: Major General John Kirk Singlaub, a founding member of the CIA; Brigadier General Harry Clay (Heinie) Aderholt, who ran Air America, the covert drug smuggling and weapons branch during the Vietnam war, and Lt Col. James Gordon "Bo" Gritz. It turned out that Gary Best was an arms dealer who supplied weapons for covert operations, worldwide for the NSA, CIA wars that were/are carried on constantly since Vietnam and the Generals were his partners in that business. Fletcher also found out Best also stole a $13 million oil company (amongst many other companies) in order to set up in Azerbaijan later on.

Finally, after Fletcher consistently saw that this merger had nothing to do with the sale of his toys, he went to see Best, who told him, “we sell armament”and handed him a brochure for a hell-fire missle. About a year and a half after the original merger, Fletcher wanted to sue for the quarter of a million dollars they owed him laid out in the contract they both signed. His lawyer did a FOIA search which came back with a presidential executive order classifying his toy factory and all of the information out of the toy factory as a national security threat.

At the same time, Fletcher began to hear the beginning of the Iran Contra investigations on the radio, mentioning the same generals in his toy factory. He contacted John Kerry’s office and reported what had happened to him. He was told he was right in the middle of it. He then became a federal witness in the Iran Contra hearings He later discovered that the main investigator was completely in bed with the biggest Iran Contra operatives and that's why nothing much came of the hearings.

For the next decade, in addition to running for Congress in 1990 in Orlando, Florida, Fletcher wore the hat of investigator, assisting Henry Gonzales with the banking fraud, Senator John Kerry in Iran Contra, Congressman Dante Fissel of Miami with the October surprise, and later appeared before the Senate Intelligence committee with Bill Alexander from Arkansas, regarding drugs, money laundering. While there he met Sonny Bono’s administrative director, Frank Cohen, relative to the WACO investigations which supposedly freaked Sonny out.

In 1997 Fletcher gathered together all the documentation and information in VHS format--because he had some of the biggest drug operators in the world naming names on video--  from over the last decade and gave it to Sonny Bono and Congresswoman Maxine Waters in 1997. When Sonny finally got a chance to go over the report, in December of 1997, he was livid, so he decided that he would use his brand new position on the intelligence committee of Congress, which gave him subpoena power to summon the witnesses mentioned in Fletcher’s report. Sonny was going to start right away when Congress convened in January. Ten days later Sonny Bono was dead. The official story: a freak skiing accident.

Since 1987, Fletcher had seen huge numbers of witnesses who were about to step forward suddenly die right before they were about to testify. Lots of strange accidents. Ron Brown, dead on an aircraft with a bullet in the middle of his head, Senator John Tower, who was about to spill the beans on the October Surprise, and who had just written a book, died in a plane crash; Senator Hunt died in a plane crash, Bill Casey former head of the CIA, had a stroke the day before he was to testify on Iran Contra. Casey had made the statement “I’m tired of the whole thing…I’m just going to come clean and get this off my chest.” The next day he had a stroke, dying a few days later.

After Sonny supposedly ran into the tree of death, Frank Cullen, Fletcher's main contact and friend, refused his phone calls. Now remember, it was just ten days earlier that Cullen was very eager to pursue the witnesses listed in Fletcher’s report. Fletcher then tried to get Sonny’s autopsy report. He couldn’t. He found out Sonny’s mother couldn’t get it until she got a lawyer. It took Fletcher a year before he could get the autopsy

The autopsy:

Sonny’s wounds were reported to be over his right eye, the right side of his forehead and to his right temple, yet blood soaked through four layers of clothing, including his coat, to his back, but there were no wounds on his back. The autopsy also reported no trauma to his neck, internally or externally. Moreover, he had no contra coup injury, which is an injury that occurs to the opposite side of the brain from impact, for example, when someone's head hits the windshield in a car accident when the body strikes a solid object like a tree at 30mph. It’s not common when someone strikes another person with an object. In addition, Sonny did not put his hands up in front of his face, an involuntary reaction to stop the blow. Ski instructors teach that if you’re losing control, to sit down.

Furthermore, the skiing conditions that day were excellent and Sonny was considered an excellent skier. His body was found approximately 125 feet into the tree line and away from the path, as if Sonny accidentally veered off the path hundred feet. 10 feet…20 feet…maybe, but 125 feet, for an expert skier, no way. Also, he was lying on his stomach, to the right side, with his right head, where he was injured, down in the snow, close to the tree, with his right arm, with the ski pole attached, up and around the tree. Wouldn't you think, at the speed he was supposedly going, he would've been knocked backwards?

The autopsy reported no debris in his wounds. As a kid, I ran into a tree in the dark, and particles of the bark were embedded into the skin on my face. Not only that, there were indentured curvature wounds to the bone of his skull in a couple of places indicating, according to Fletcher, that he was probably hit with a fairly small rounded curved object, something like the barrel of a pistol, either a .45 or a 9mm. The size of the configurations described in the autopsy would fit perfectly if let's say he was pistol whipped to death. So, where did the blood from his back come from? Perhaps, Sonny bloodied somebody’s nose in a scuffle, maybe he gave an elbow to the nose, and someone else's blood drenched and soaked through four layers of clothing.

The bottom line is they, the evil ones, had to stop Sonny before the investigation began because if it began it would’ve had continue in some shape or form. Not to mention, everyone's heard of Sonny Bono, even children. If Sonny carried through with his promise, far too many people would tune in.
