Over the last few weeks Art Hostage has observed an added impetus to the hunt for Whitey Bulger.
First there was the extraordinary meeting of the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association where Mike Sullivan, as U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, or "Big Daddy D.A." issued a plea to pull out all the stops in the faint hope Whitey Bulger could be located before Mr Sullivan leaves his post.
It was pointed out to Mike Sullivan that locating Whitey Bulger was not the problem, it was the authority to arrest Whitey Bulger that was the reason why he had not been arrested.
It was also pointed out to Mike Sullivan that for Whitey Bulger to actually be arrested, permission would be needed from none other than Robert Mueller Director of the FBI.
However, it now seems FBI Director Robert Mueller is finally on board and the real go-ahead to arrest Whitey Bulger was issued a few weeks ago.
The circle in which Whitey Bulger can move in has been reduced and the focus is on the West of Ireland, Galway, Bantry Bay( little cottage overlooking Bare Island) and Limerick, to make a start.
What with the recent shootings of two soldiers in Ireland and the increased activity of undercover security services, it is felt there is a good chance of locating and arresting Whitey Bulger.
There is a fear that Whitey Bulger, who has written a series of diaries, somewhat like the Hitler diaries, will implicate many FBI officials not least the current Director Robert Mueller, from his time in Boston back in the 1980's.
Perhaps this recent change of heart by Director Mueller signals his retirement is fast approaching, as any mud thrown by a captured Whitey Bulger will do less damage to the FBI if Robert Mueller has retired.
-
As to the Gardner art that is held in Ireland, well Mike Sullivan may think:
-
"A Bulger in the hand is worth Two Gardner paintings in the Bush"
-
Speaking of the Gardner art, latest focus is on Shajah in the UAE to try and recover what Gardner art is currently held in Sharjah, Rembrandt's Storm a possible.
-So, Mike Sullivan, be careful what you wish for !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update:
-
Latest news, now that Jeremiah O'Sullivan died 14th Feb 2009, authorities are preparing to dump allot of the Whitey Bulger crimes, or the ability to commit those crimes, on a conspiracy headed by Jeremiah O'Sullivan, in his pursuit of the Italian Mafia in Boston.
-
Whilst retired authority figures can attract less crap for the govt, Dead men cannot defend themselves and prove to be useful patsy's.
-
Again, Mike Sullivan, be careful what you wish for, you are only an O' away from being a scapegoat !!!

Breaking news
-
Art Hostage has learnt from a contact in Florida who I shall call Florida Phil, that Bernard Ternus, (remember him, the guy caught by FBI Legend Robert Wittman in a sting for stolen paintings taken in an armed raid in the South of France), is trying to help the Tampa FBI, out of Maitland, to recover a huge Topaz stolen in France. Bernard Ternus is also trying to locate Whitey Bulger through his underworld contacts.
-
However, gossip earlier this year was Whitey Bulger entered the United States through Florida via the Caribbean off of a Yacht he had been cruising on.
-
Reason Whitey Bulger is back in the U.S. according to gossips is Whitey Bulger is dying and wants his family, or someone close to his family to collect the $2 million reward.
-
Whitey Bulger allegedly feels the time is right as he does not have long to live to hand himself in and face the music so to speak. So, at this moment in time Whitey Bulger could be enjoying Boca Raton for the last time.
-
Of course this could be way off but it is worth noting that gossip about the health of Whitey Bulger is more intense than for a long time, so it could be true.
-
However, other contacts in Ireland say Whitey Bulger is stuck in Ireland and unable to leave Ireland because of the increased activity of security services because of the recent actions by Dissident republicans. Must say Boca Raton Florida seems warmer than Ireland this time of the year, or any time of the year come to think about it.
-
What do you get if you combine Whitey Bulger, Florida and Ireland ???
-
Malaga Spain,
-
Torraviecca to be specific !!
-
What Art Hostage wants know is whether Whitey Bulger still has control of any Gardner art or has it been sold on ????
-
Which brings me to my next bit of news.
-
Authorities are trying to sting those with some Gardner art by saying they are acting for a Middle Eastern buyer and they think they may have a breakthrough.
-
Sorry to let you down but you have been rumbled and the only Gardner art you will recover from this source will be copies not originals.
-
Not to be deterred, enquiries have also be made in the UAE that there is someone willing to buy priceless stolen art and has lots of cash to spend.
-
Again this has been rumbled and it will not lead anywhere.
-
The person holding some Gardner art in the UAE certainly does not need cash, but may consider political favours on a diplomatic level.
-
Ok, enough of this pussy-footing around, the person with some Gardner art in the UAE is none other than Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi the ruler of Sharjah and the reason he is keeping what-ever Gardner art he has is because his beloved son died as a result of a drug dependency he developed whilst studying in America.
-
It was back in 1999 that after cleaning himself up, free from drugs, and training to become a top Police official in Sharjah, the Ruler of Sharjah's son was in England on holiday with his father and decided to have a hit of Heroin.
-
His body, free from drugs, could not take the amount and the ruler of Sharjah, Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi found his beloved son on the bathroom floor of their English country mansion.
-
By keeping Rembrandt's Storm on the Sea of Galilee etc old Mo Qasimi feels he is sticking it to America.
-
Well, that's how the story goes, unless of course it's all Gossip !!!
