Part 2 w/ Ted Gunderson PENELOPE HAS A GUEST: TD did part 1 with me in a 2019 video. upload soon.  Michael Riconosciuto was the son of Marshall Riconosciuto whom was a powerful municipal leader & politician w/ numerous major West coast political connections. When Michael was young, he was surrounded by relatives and business associates whom were said to work with the OffIce of States Services (OSS) then later the CIA. Marshal the father owned & operated a " public relations" firm which included longtime friend & colleague " Fred Lee Crisman" an OSS psychological warfare specialist working against the German effort to secure the atomic bomb. It is believed Michael was born & raised in the intelligence community. Riconosciuto was a prodigy who had grown up in the spook community. The Riconosciuto family had once run Hercules, California, as a company town. Michael and his father Marshall, a friend of Richard Nixon's, ran the Hercules Research Corporation. Hercules became the largest producer of TNT in the U.S. More on Hercules later. In the early 1980s Michael also served as the Director of Research for a joint venture between the Wackenhut Corporation of Coral Gables, Florida, and the Cabazon Band of Indians in Indio, California. Riconosciuto's talents were much in demand. He had created the a-neutronic bomb (or "Electro-Hydrodynamic Gaseous Fuel Device"), more on that in short podcast.   Soon adventures started to take a turn for the worst for MJR. 10 counts against him and numerous factions which stand out in this story of nefarious characters. Listen to TD & I tell how this story began and how others have lost their lives trying to tell it.  Journalist Danny Casolaro being of the last to research with MJR. trying to tell the full story of The Octopus tentacles of CIA, Drugs Iran Contra & BCCI Bank mobsters.
