It’s no surprise, taking into consideration all of the controversy surrounding Casolaro’s life, investigations, and death, that other researchers began to look into his story
Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Barely twenty-four hours before he died, Casolaro met with one of his sources for information on the Octopus: a man named William Turner. By all accounts, for Casolaro, the meeting was a profitable one. Other people at the hotel happened to have had brief chats with Casolaro; none described him as appearing depressed, stressed, or worried. That did not take away the fact that the authorities went with the suicide conclusion, but that theory had problems, too.
One of the most glaring problems related to the matter of Casolaro’s slashed wrists. The gashes were very deep. Inflicting one such deep wound would not be a problem. It’s a little-known fact, though, that severing the ulnar artery causes that same hand to, essentially, become useless—quite like what it feels like to fall asleep on one’s arm: the blood is restricted and overwhelming numbness sets in, so yes, Casolaro could have slashed one wrist to such a deep degree but that same hand would largely be unable to inflict so much major damage to the other wrist.
It’s no surprise, taking into consideration all of the controversy surrounding Casolaro’s life, investigations, and death, that other researchers began to look into his story. Two of those were Kenn Thomas and Jim Keith, who penned a book in 1996 on the whole affair titled The Octopus—a most apt title. In late 1999, things turned ominous. Keith found that his computer had been hacked into and that someone was reading his every written word. In 1999, Keith died in a Reno hospital under questionable circumstances. Then, in 2001, Ron Bonds— the publisher of The Octopus—died under equally controversial circumstances.
The Octopus, it seems, is determined to ensure that no one gets too close to the truth of its world-manipulating activities—no matter what the cost. It’s worth noting that, according to his notes, Casolaro had a source within a company that is known as Wackenhut, which has been contracted on many occasions to undertake security-based work at Area 51. G4S Secure Solutions (USA) is an American security services company and a wholly owned subsidiary of G4S plc. It was founded as the Wackenhut Corporation in 1954 in Coral Gables, Florida, by George Wackenhut and three partners (all of them former FBI agents). In 2002, the company was acquired for $570 million by Danish corporation Group 4 Falck (itself then merged to form a British company, G4S, in 2004). In 2010, G4S Wackenhut changed its name to G4S Secure Solutions (USA) to reflect the new business model. The G4S American region headquarters is in Jupiter, Florida.
After early struggles (including a fistfight between George Wackenhut and one of his partners), Wackenhut took sole control of his company in 1958, then choosing to name it after himself. By 1964, he had contracts to guard the Kennedy Space Center and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission’s nuclear test site in Nevada, which included Area 51. The following year, Wackenhut took his company public. In the mid-sixties, Florida governor Claude Kirk commissioned the Wackenhut Corporation to help fight a “war on organized crime,” awarding the company a $500,000 contract. The commission lasted about a year but led to more than eighty criminal indictments, including many for local politicians and government employees. Following the murder of a British tourist at a rest stop in 1993, Florida contracted with Wackenhut to provide security at all state rest stops.
The company’s work includes permanent guarding services, security officers, manned security, disaster response, emergency services, control-room monitoring, armed security, unarmed security, special event security, security patrols, reception/concierge services, access control, emergency medical technicians (EMT) services, and ambassador services. Like other security companies, G4S targets specific sectors: energy, utilities, chemical/petrochemical, financial institutions, government, hospitals and health- care facilities, major corporations, construction, ports and airports, residential communities, retail and commercial real estate, and transit systems.
Having expanded into providing food services for U.S. prisons in the 1960s, Wackenhut launched a subsidiary in 1984 to design and manage jails and detention centers for the burgeoning private prison market. Wackenhut then became the nation’s second-largest for-profit prison operator. In April 1999, the State of Louisiana took over the running of Wackenhut’s fifteen-month-old juvenile prison after the U.S. Justice Department accused Wackenhut of subjecting its young inmates to “excessive abuse and neglect.” U.S. journalist Gregory Palast commented on the case: “New Mexico’s privately operated prisons are filled with America’s impoverished, violent outcasts—and those are the guards.” The GEO Group, Inc., now runs former Wackenhut facilities in fourteen states as well as in South Africa and Australia. Some facilities, such as the Wackenhut Corrections Corporation in New York, retain the Wackenhut name, despite no longer having any open connection with the company.
Frequent rumors that the company was in the employ of the Central Intelligence Agency, particularly in the 1960s, were never substantiated; however, George Wackenhut, who was obsessive about high-tech security gadgets in his private life, never denied the rumors.
