Those U.S. Government Officials Whose Golden
|
|
Triangle Heroin Trafficking Has Prevented the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Ret</ent>urn of Our POWs From Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am going to assume that you are acquainted with the seriousness of the
|
|
matter presented herein. On a WHITE <ent type='ORG'>HOUSE</ent> sanctioned mission to <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> for the
|
|
rescue of <ent type='ORG'>American Missing</ent> In Action I learned of a major heroin smuggling
|
|
opperation involving past and present U.S. government officials which has
|
|
obstructed the <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn of known <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> <ent type='ORG'>MIA</ent>s from <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent>, Cambodia and <ent type='GPE'>Viet Nam</ent>.
|
|
I reported this to the WHITE <ent type='ORG'>HOUSE</ent> and all appropriate congressional
|
|
committees. I am now taking to the public the information these government
|
|
officials refuse to act upon.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>(The Overview File is not ready at this time. My letter to <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent> and
|
|
Khun Sa's letter to the Justice Department may serve to introduce this subject
|
|
until Overview is finished.)</p>

<p>February 1988

<ent type='GPE'>S<ent type='PERSON'>andy</ent> <ent type='LOC'>Valley</ent></ent>, NV</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Honorable <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent>
|
|
Vice President
|
|
United States of <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, D.C.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Sir:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>AWhy does it seem that you are saying "YES" to illegal narcotics in <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I turned over video tapes to your <ent type='ORG'>NSC</ent> staff assistant, <ent type='PERSON'>Tom Harvey</ent>, January
|
|
1987, wherein <ent type='ORG'>General KHUN</ent> SA, overlord of Asia's "<ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent>", offered
|
|
to stop 900 tons of heroin/opium from entering the free world in 1987. <ent type='PERSON'>Harvey</ent>
|
|
told me, "...there is no interest here in doing that." General Khun Sa also
|
|
offered to identify U.S. Government officials who, he says, have been
|
|
trafficking in heroin for more than 20 years.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>November 1986, <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> and I went into <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> in coordination and
|
|
cooperation with The <ent type='ORG'>White House</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Tom Harvey</ent> told me you received a letter
|
|
from <ent type='PERSON'>Arthur Suchesk</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Orange County</ent>, CA, dated 29 August 1986. Dr. Suchesk
|
|
said that Gen Khun Sa had access to U.S. POWs. <ent type='PERSON'>Harvey</ent> said the letter had
|
|
received "highest attention". He gave me a copy along with other case
|
|
documents. I was asked if it was possible to verify the information.
|
|
According to <ent type='PERSON'>Harvey</ent>, the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> said Khun Sa had been assassinated some months
|
|
before. <ent type='PERSON'>Harvey</ent> supplied <ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> and myself with language under <ent type='ORG'>White House</ent> and
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>NSC</ent> letterhead that would help us gain access to Khun Sa. It worked.
|
|
Unfortunately, Khun Sa knew nothing about US POWs. He did, however, offer to
|
|
trade his nation's poppy dependence for a legitimate economy.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Instead of receiving an "<ent type='PERSON'>Atta Boy</ent>" for bringing back video tape showing Khun
|
|
Sa's offer to stop 900 tons of illegal narcotics and expose dirty <ent type='ORG'>USG</ent>
|
|
officials, <ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> was jailed and I was threatened. I was told that if I didn't
|
|
"erase and forget" all that we had discovered, I would, ~hurt the government".
|
|
Further, I was promised a prison sentence of "15 years".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned to <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> with two other <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> witnesses, <ent type='PERSON'>Lance Trimmer</ent>, a
|
|
private detective from <ent type='GPE'>San Francisco</ent>, and <ent type='PERSON'>Barry Flynn</ent> from <ent type='GPE'>Boston</ent>. Gen Khun
|
|
Sa identified some of those in government service he says were dealing in
|
|
heroin and arms sales. We video taped this second interview and I turned
|
|
copies over in June 1987, to the Chairman of <ent type='ORG'>the Select Committee</ent> on
|
|
Intelligence; Chairman of <ent type='ORG'>the House</ent> on Foreign Affairs Task Force on Narcotics
|
|
Control; Co)Chairman, Senate Narcotics <ent type='ORG'>Committee</ent>; Senator <ent type='PERSON'>Harry Reid</ent>, NV;
|
|
Representative <ent type='PERSON'>James Bilbray</ent>, NV; and other <ent type='NORP'>Congressional</ent> members. Mister
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent>, Assistant Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary of <ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent> for International Security
|
|
Affairs, is one of those <ent type='ORG'>USG</ent> officials implicated by Khun Sa. Nothing was
|
|
done with this evidence that indicated that anyone of authority, including
|
|
yourself, had intended to do anything more than protect Mr. <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent>. I was
|
|
charged with "Mis)use of Passport". Seems that it is alright for <ent type='PERSON'>Oliver north</ent>
|
|
and Robert MacFarlane to go into <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent> on <ent type='NORP'>Irish</ent> Passports to negotiate an
|
|
illegal arms deal that neither you nor anyone else admits condoning, but I
|
|
can't use a passport that brings back drug information against your friends.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='PERSON'>Lance Trimmer</ent> and I submitted a "<ent type='ORG'>Citizen Complaint</ent> of Wrongdoing by <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent>
|
|
Officers" to Attorney General <ent type='PERSON'>Edwin Meese</ent>, III on 17 September 1987.
|
|
Continuous private and Legislative inquiries to date indicate that the
|
|
Attorney General's Office has "lost" the document. <ent type='NORP'>Congressional</ent> requests to
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>the Government Accounting Office</ent> have resulted in additional government snares
|
|
and stalls.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>January 20, 1988, I talked before your <ent type='ORG'>Breakfast Club</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Houston</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Texas</ent>. A
|
|
distinguished group of approximately 125 associates of yours, including the
|
|
Chief Justice of the <ent type='GPE'>Texas</ent> Supreme <ent type='ORG'>Court</ent>, expressed assurance that you are a
|
|
righteous man. Almost all of them raised their hand when I asked how many of
|
|
them know you personally. If you are a man with good intent, I pray you will
|
|
do more than respond to this letter. I ask that you seriously look into the
|
|
possibility that political appointees close to you are guilty of by)passing
|
|
our Constitutional process, and for purposes of promoting illegal covert
|
|
operations, conspired in the trafficking of narcotics and arms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Please answer why a respected <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> Citizen like mister H. <ent type='PERSON'>Ross Perot</ent> can
|
|
bring you a pile of evidence of wrongdoing by <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> and others, and you,
|
|
according to <ent type='ORG'>TIME</ent> magazine (May 4, page 18), not only offer him no support,
|
|
but have your Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary of <ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Frank Carlucci</ent> tell Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Perot</ent> to "stop
|
|
pursuing Mr. <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent>". Why Sir, will you not look into affidavits gathered
|
|
by <ent type='ORG'>The Christic Institute</ent> (<ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, D.C.), which testify that <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> not
|
|
only trafficked in heroin, but did so under the guise of an officer charged
|
|
with bringing home our POWs. If the charges are true, <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent>, who is still
|
|
responsible for POW recovery as your Assistant Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary of <ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent> <ent type='ORG'>ISA</ent>, has
|
|
every reason not to want these heros <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned to us alive. Clearly, follow)on
|
|
investigations would illuminate the collective crimes of <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> and others.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Several years ago a sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary working for <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> asked me "Why would he have
|
|
us expunge his official record of all reference to past POW/<ent type='ORG'>MIA</ent> assignments
|
|
and activities?" Not knowing, I ventured a guess that maybe he was considering
|
|
running for public office and didn't feel the POW ) <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> association would
|
|
be a plus in his resume. It was about the same time a <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> agent named by Khun
|
|
Sa turned up dead in <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent> under "mysterious circumstances". Also about
|
|
this time, as an agent of NSC's Intelligence Support Activity, I was told by
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ISA</ent> Chief <ent type='PERSON'>Jerry King</ent>, "...there are still too many bureaucrats in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>
|
|
who don't want to see POWs <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned alive". I failed to realize the fullness
|
|
of his meaning, or these other events, until in May 1987, Gen Khun Sa, in his
|
|
jungle headquarters, named <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> as a key connection in a ring of
|
|
heroin trafficking mobsters and <ent type='ORG'>USG</ent> officials. A U.S. agent I have known for
|
|
many years stopped by my home last month enroute to his next overseas
|
|
assignment. He remarked that he had worked for those <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> chiefs named by Khun
|
|
Sa, and that by his own personal knowledge, he knew what Khun Sa said was
|
|
true. He was surprised it had taken so long to surface.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am a registered <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>. I voted for you twice. I will not do so again.
|
|
If you have any love or loyalty in your heart for this nation; if you have not
|
|
completely sold out, then do something positive to determine the truth of
|
|
these most serious allegations. You were Director of the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> in 1975, during
|
|
a time Khun Sa says <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> officials were trafficking in heroin. As
|
|
Director of Intelligence you were responsible to the <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> people for the
|
|
activities of your assistant ) even as you should know what some of these same
|
|
people are doing who are close to you now as our Vice President because i feel
|
|
these "parallel government" types will only be promoted by you, giving them
|
|
more reason to bury our POWs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am enclosing some documentation that supports the charges made. Chief is a
|
|
letter from Khun Sa to the U.S. Justice Department dated 28 June 1987, wherein
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> is named along with <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> (your former Deputy
|
|
Director <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> fro Covert Operations) and others. Please also note <ent type='PERSON'>William</ent>
|
|
Stevenson's article, "Bank of Intrigue ) Circles of Power". You, <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent>,
|
|
and General <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent> are prominently mentioned. <ent type='PERSON'>Stevenson</ent>, you might
|
|
remember, authored A MAN CALLED INTREPID. Also <ent type='PERSON'>Tom Fitzpatrick</ent>'s article,
|
|
"From <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> to <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>, a Heroin Highway", should interest you. Both of these
|
|
men are prize winning journalists. The book, CRIMES of <ent type='ORG'>PATRIOTS</ent>, "A True Tale
|
|
of Dope, Dirty Money, and the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>", by <ent type='PERSON'>Jonathan Kwitny</ent>, reporter for the Wall
|
|
Street Journal, details for you the bank connections that Khun Sa mentions.
|
|
Finally, the basic primer that spells out exactly how this dope for covert
|
|
operations gambit began, is Alfred McCoy's THE POLITICS OF HEROIN IN SOUTHEAST
|
|
ASIA. All of these should be required reading for the man appointed chief cop
|
|
by our President to safeguard <ent type='GPE'>America</ent> from illegal narcotics. These are just
|
|
a sampling of many works now available that chronical disgraceful conduct by
|
|
those sworn to protect and defend our Constitution.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Parting shot Mr. Vice President: On 28 January 1988, General Khun Sa tendered
|
|
an offer to turn over to me one metric ton (2200 pounds) of heroin. He says
|
|
this is a good faith gesture to the <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> people that he is serious about
|
|
stopping all drugs coming from the infamous <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent>. I you and <ent type='PERSON'>Nancy</ent>
|
|
Reagan are really serious about saying "NO" to drugs, why not test Gen Khun
|
|
Sa? I challenge you to allow me in the company of agents of your choice to
|
|
arrange to receive this token offer worth over $4 billion on the streets of
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>New York City</ent>. It will represent the largest "legal" seizure of heroin on
|
|
record. You can personally torch it, dump it in the ocean, or turn it into
|
|
legal medication; as I understand there is a great shortage of legal opiates
|
|
available to our doctors. I think Gen Khun Sa's offer is most interesting.
|
|
If you say "YES" then the ever increasing flow of heroin from Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>
|
|
(600 tons ) '86, 900 tons ) '87, 1200 tons ) '88) may dry up ) not good for
|
|
business in the parallel government and super <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> circles Oliver <ent type='PERSON'>North</ent>
|
|
mentioned. If you say "NO" to Khun Sa, you are showing colors not fit for a
|
|
man who would be President.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What is your decision? I challenge you to demonstrate exactly where you stand
|
|
with respect to big)business)drugs, parallel government, misuse of U.S.
|
|
tax)payer dollars in foreign drug suppression programs that don't work, no
|
|
interest in dialogue that will stem the flow of illegal narcotics, <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn of
|
|
POWs while they are still alive? I for one am not for a "<ent type='GPE'>USA</ent>, Inc." with you
|
|
or anyone else as Chairman of <ent type='ORG'>the Board</ent>.</p>

<p>SUBJECT:A ' AA 8 AA AImportant fact for the Drugs Eradication
|
|
Program to be successful.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Sirs:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This letter to the US Justice Department is to make it clear about our deepest
|
|
concern in wishing to help eradicate drugs and for all the <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> people as
|
|
well as the world to know the truth that for the past (15) year they have been
|
|
misled to look upon us as the main source of all the drug problems. A A1.
|
|
The refusal of <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> State government to accept our "SIX YEARS DRUGS
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ERADICATION</ent> PLAN " presented at the <ent type='NORP'>Congressional</ent> Hearing by <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>man Mr.
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Lester Wolff</ent> after his visit to <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> in April 1977, was really a great
|
|
disappointment for us. Even after this disappointment, we continued writing
|
|
letters to President <ent type='PERSON'>Carter</ent> and President Reagan forwarding our sincere wish
|
|
to help and participate in eradicating drugs. We are really surprised and
|
|
doubtful as to "why the US government refuses our participation and help to
|
|
make a success of the drugs eradication program. Furthermore, "why the world
|
|
has been misled to accuse us as the main culprit for all the drug trades....
|
|
while in reality, we are most sincere and willing to help solve the drug
|
|
problems in South East <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>. through our own sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> investigation, we found
|
|
out that some high officials in the US government's drugs control and
|
|
enforcement department and with the influence of corrupted persons objected to
|
|
our active participation in the drugs eradication program of the US government
|
|
so as to be able to <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ain their profitable self)interest from the
|
|
continuation of the drug problems. Thus, the US government and the <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>
|
|
people as well as the world have been hoodwinked.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>During the period (1965 )1975) <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> Chief in <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> was in the
|
|
drug business, having contacts with <ent type='ORG'>the Opium Warlord Lor Sing</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Han</ent> and his
|
|
followers. Santo Trafficante acted as his buying and transporting agent while
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> handled the financial section with the Banks in <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>.
|
|
Even after the <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> War ended, when <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> was being posted to
|
|
the US <ent type='ORG'>Embassy</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent>, his dealings in the drug business continued as
|
|
before. He was then acting as the US government official concerning with the
|
|
drugs problems in South East <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>. After 1979, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> resigned from
|
|
the US Embassy's posting and set up the "<ent type='ORG'>Far East</ent> Trading Company" as a front
|
|
for his continuation in the drug trade and to bribe <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> agents in <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> and
|
|
around the world. Soon After, <ent type='PERSON'>Daniel Arnold</ent> was made to handle the drug
|
|
business as well as the transportation of arms sales. <ent type='PERSON'>Jerry Daniels</ent> then took
|
|
over the drug trade from <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent>. For over 10 years, <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent>
|
|
supported his men in <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> with the profits from his drug trade
|
|
and most of the cash were deposited with the banks in <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent> which was to
|
|
be used in buying his way for quicker promotions to higher positions. A
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>AWithin</ent> the month of July, 1980, Thailand's English newspaper "<ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent> Post:
|
|
included a news)report that <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> agents were using <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent> as a transit)base
|
|
for their drug business and the banks in <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent> for depositing,
|
|
transferring the large sum of money involved. A <ent type='ORG'>AVerifications</ent> of the news
|
|
report can be made by the US Justice Department with <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent> Post and in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>. A AOther facts given herewith have been drawn out from our Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
Reports files so as to present to you of the real facts as to "why the drug
|
|
problem is being prolonged till today." A A3. Finally, we sincerely hope in
|
|
the nearest future to be given the opportunity to actively take part in
|
|
helping the US government, the <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s and people of the world in
|
|
eradicating and uprooting the drug problems.</p>

|
|
as the Research Associate of Professor <ent type='PERSON'>Jerome Cohen</ent>, the Chair of the
|
|
International Law Department of <ent type='ORG'>Harvard</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>5. While at <ent type='ORG'>Harvard</ent> School of Law, I served as a summer associate at the
|
|
State Street law firm of <ent type='PERSON'>Goodwin</ent>, Proctor and <ent type='PERSON'>Hoar</ent> under the supervision of
|
|
Senior Partner, Donald J. <ent type='ORG'>Hurley</ent>, the President of the <ent type='GPE'>Boston</ent> Chamber of
|
|

|
|
At this firm I participated in the case of <ent type='PERSON'>BAIRD</ent> v <ent type='ORG'>EISENSTAT</ent>, under Roger

|
|

|
|
served under Professor <ent type='PERSON'>Milton Katz</ent>, the President of <ent type='ORG'>the International</ent> Law
|
|
Association, as the Chairman of <ent type='ORG'>the Nigerian Biafran Relief Commission</ent>
|
|
responsible for successfully negotiating the admission of mercy flights of
|
|
food into <ent type='GPE'>Biafra</ent> in 1968.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>6. While serving as a legal Associate at the Wall Street law firm of
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Cahill</ent>, Gordon, Sonnett, Rheindle and <ent type='GPE'>Ohio</ent> under partner <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> and
|
|
Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> directed <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent> Project in <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>, in 1974 and 1975, which
|
|
carried out the sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> mission of assassinating members of the economic and
|
|
political bureaucracy inside <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> to cripple the ability of that nation to
|
|
function after the total US withdrawal from <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>. This <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> Project,
|
|
during its history, carried out the political assassination, in <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>, of
|
|
some 60000 village mayors, treasurers, school teachers and other non)Viet
|
|
Cong administrators. <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> and Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> financed a highly
|
|
intensified phase of <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent> project, in 1974 and 1975, by causing an
|
|
intense flow of <ent type='PERSON'>Vang Pao</ent> opium money to be sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ly brought into <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> for
|
|
this purpose. This <ent type='PERSON'>Vang Pao</ent> opium money was administered for Theodore
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent> and Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> by a US <ent type='ORG'>Navy</ent> official based in Saigon's US office
|
|
of Naval Operations by the name of <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent>. However, because
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>, Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> knew that their sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
anti)<ent type='NORP'>communist</ent> extermination program was going to be shut down in <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>,
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent>, Cambodia, and <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> in the very near future, they, in 1973, began a
|
|
highly sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> non)<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> authorized program Thus, from late 1973 until April of
|
|
1975, <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>, Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> disbursed, from
|
|
the sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>, <ent type='NORP'>Laotian</ent>)based, <ent type='PERSON'>Vang Pao</ent> opium fund, vastly more money than was
|
|
required to finance even the highly intensified <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> Project in <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>.
|
|
The money in excess of that used in <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> was sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ly smuggled out of
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> in large suitcases, by <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent> and Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> )) and carried
|
|
into <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>, where it was deposited in a sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>, personal bank account
|
|
(privately accessible to <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>, Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent>).
|
|
During this same period of time between 1973 and 1975, <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> and
|
|
Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> caused thousands of tons of US weapons, ammunition, and
|
|
explosives to be sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ly taken from <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> and stored at a sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> "cache"
|
|
hidden inside <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "liaison officer" to <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent> Project in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>, during this 1973 to 1975 period, from the "40 <ent type='ORG'>Committee</ent>" in the <ent type='ORG'>Nixom</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>White House</ent> was one <ent type='PERSON'>Eric Von Arbod</ent> )) an Assistant Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary of State for Far
|
|
Eastern Affairs. <ent type='PERSON'>Von Arbod</ent> shared his information about <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent> Project
|
|
directly with his supervisor <ent type='PERSON'>Henry Kissinger</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='GPE'>Saigon</ent> fell to the <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>ese in April of 1975. The <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> War was over.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Immediately upon the conclusion of the evacuation of U.S. personnel from
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> was dispatched, by <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> and Thomas
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent>, from <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> to <ent type='GPE'>Tehran</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>. In <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> (the "bursar" for the
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Vang Pao</ent> opium money for <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent>' planned "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team" covert
|
|
operations program), between May and August of 1975, set up a sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
"financial conduit" inside <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>, into which sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Vang Pao</ent> drug funds could
|
|
be deposited from Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>. The purpose of this conduit was to serve as
|
|
the vehicle for sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> funding by Shackley's "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team," of a private,
|
|
non)<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> authorized "Black" operations inside <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent> )) disposed to seek out,
|
|
identify, and assassinate socialist and <ent type='NORP'>communist</ent> sympathizers )) who were
|
|
viewed by <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent> and his "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team" members to be "potential terrorists"
|
|
against the Shah of Iran's government in <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>. In late 1975 and early 1976,
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> and Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ained <ent type='PERSON'>Edwin Wilson</ent> to travel to <ent type='GPE'>Tehran</ent>,
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent> to head up the "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team" covert "anti)terrorist" assassination
|
|
program in <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>. This was not a U.S. government)authorized operation. This
|
|
was a private operations supervised, directed and participated in by <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent>,
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> in their purely private capacities.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>At the end of 1975, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> took the post of a "Special Consultant"
|
|
to the U.S. Department of <ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent> regarding <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> military personnel
|
|
Missing In Action (<ent type='ORG'>MIA</ent>s) in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>. In this capacity, <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> was
|
|
posted in the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Embassy</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent>. There <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> had top
|
|
responsibility for locating and <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>rieving <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> MIA's in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>.
|
|
He worked at the <ent type='ORG'>Embassy</ent> with an associate, one Jerry O. <ent type='PERSON'>Daniel</ent>s. From 1975
|
|
to 1977, <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> held this post in <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent>. However, he did not perform the
|
|
duties of this office. Instead, <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> continued to function as the
|
|
"bursar" for <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>'s "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team," seeing to it that sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Vang
|
|
Pao opium funds were conducted from <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent>, through <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> to both
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Tehran</ent> and the sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent> bank account in <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent> at the Nugen)<ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d
|
|
Bank. The monies conducted by <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> to <ent type='GPE'>Tehran</ent> were to fund <ent type='PERSON'>Edwin Wilson</ent>'s
|
|
sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> anti)terrorist "seek and destroy" operation on behalf of Theodore
|
|
Shackely. <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> also devoted a portion of his time between 1975 and 1977,
|
|
in <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent>, facilitating the escape from <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent>, Cambodia and <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> and the
|
|
re)location elsewhere in the world, of numbers of the sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Meo</ent> tribesmen
|
|
group which had carried out the covert political assassination program for
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> between 1966 and 1975. Assisting Richard
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> in this operation was Jerry O. <ent type='PERSON'>Daniel</ent>s. Indeed, Jerry O. <ent type='PERSON'>Daniel</ent>s was
|
|
a "bag)man" for <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent>, assisting <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> by physically
|
|
transporting out of <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> millions of dollars of <ent type='PERSON'>Vang Pao</ent>'s sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> opium
|
|
money )) to finance the re)location of <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>'s <ent type='NORP'>Meo</ent> tribesmen and
|
|
to supply funds to <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>'s "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team" operations. At the U.S.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Embassy</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> also supervised the removal of arms,
|
|
ammunition and explosives from the sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent>)<ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent> cache of munitions
|
|
hidden inside <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> between 1973 and 1975 )) for use by Shackley's "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
Team". Assisting <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> in this latter operations was one <ent type='PERSON'>Daniel Arnold</ent>,
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> Chief of Station in <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> )) who joined Shackley's "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team" ))
|
|
in his purely private capacity.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One of the officers in the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Embassy</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent>, one <ent type='ORG'>Abranowitz</ent> came to
|
|
know of Armitage's involvement in the sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> handling of <ent type='PERSON'>Vang Pao</ent> opium funds
|
|
and caused to be initiated an internal State Department heroin smuggling
|
|
investigations directed against <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> was the target of
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Embassy</ent> personnel complaints to the effect that he was utterly failing to
|
|
perform his duties on behalf of <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> <ent type='ORG'>MIA</ent>s, and he reluctantly resigned as
|
|
the D.O.D. Special Consultant on MIA's at the end of 1977.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>From 1977 until 1979, <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> remained in <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent> opening and operating a
|
|
business named The <ent type='ORG'>Far East</ent> Trading Company. This company had offices only in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent> and in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, D.C. This company was, in fact, from 1977 to 1979,
|
|
merely a "front" for Armitage's sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> operations conducting <ent type='PERSON'>Vang Pao</ent> opium
|
|
money out of Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> to <ent type='GPE'>Tehran</ent> and the Nugen)<ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d Bank in <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent> to

|
|
assassination program and "unconventional warfare" operation of Theodore
|
|
Shackley's and <ent type='PERSON'>Thomas Cline</ent>'s "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team". During this period, between 1975
|
|
and 1979, in <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> lived in the home of <ent type='ORG'>Hynnie Aderholdt</ent>

)) the former <ent type='ORG'>Air Wing</ent> Commander of Shackley's "Special Operations Group" in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> )) who, between 1966 and 1968, had served as the immediate superior to
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent>, the Deputy <ent type='ORG'>Air Wing</ent> Commander of <ent type='ORG'>MAG</ent>)SOG. <ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent>, in 1975,
|
|
was transferred from <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> to <ent type='GPE'>Tehran</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 1976, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent> moved to <ent type='GPE'>Tehran</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent> and became the Deputy Assistant
|
|
Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary of defense in <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>, in charge of <ent type='ORG'>the Middle Eastern Division</ent> of the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent> Security Assistance <ent type='ORG'>Administration</ent>. In this capacity, <ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent>
|
|
functioned as the chief operations officer for the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent> Department in
|
|
<ent type='LOC'>the Middle East</ent> in charge of foreign military sales of U.S. aircraft, weapons
|
|
and military equipment to <ent type='NORP'>Middle Eastern</ent> nations allied to the U.S.. Secord's
|
|
immediate superior was <ent type='PERSON'>Eric Van Marbad</ent> )) the former 40 <ent type='ORG'>Committee</ent> liaison
|
|
officer to <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>'s <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> program in <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> from 1973 to 1975.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>From 1976 to 1979, in <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent> supervised the sale of U.S.
|
|
military aircraft and weapons to <ent type='NORP'>Middle Eastern</ent> nations. However, Richard
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent> did not authorize direct nation)to)nation sales of such equipment
|
|
directly from the U.S. government to said <ent type='NORP'>Middle Eastern</ent> governments.
|
|
Instead, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent> conducted such sales through a "middle)man", one
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Albert Hakim</ent>. By the use of middle)man <ent type='PERSON'>Albert Hakim</ent>, Deputy Assistant
|
|
Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary of <ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent> purchased U.S. military aircraft and

weapons from the U.S. governament at the low "manufacturer's cost" )) but sold
|
|
these U.S. aircraft and weapons to the client <ent type='NORP'>Middle Eastern</ent> nations at the
|
|
much higher "replacement cost". <ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent> then caused to be paid to the U.S.
|
|
government, out of the actual sale price obtained, only the lower amount equal
|
|
to the lower manufacturer's cost. The difference, was sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ed from the U.S.
|
|
government and <ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Albert Hakim</ent> sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ly transferred these millions of

dollars into Shackley's "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team" operations inside <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent> )) and into
|
|
Shackley's sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Nugen)<ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d bank account in <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>. Thus, by 1976,
|
|
Defendant <ent type='PERSON'>Albert Hakim</ent> had become a partner with Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent>
|
|
and <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> in <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>'s "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team".</p>

<p>Between 1976 and 1979, <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent>, Hakim, <ent type='PERSON'>Wilson</ent>, and <ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent>
|
|
set up several corporations and subsidiaries around the world through which to
|
|
conceal the operations of the "Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team". Many of these corporations were
|
|
set up in <ent type='GPE'>Switzerland</ent>. Some of these were: (1) <ent type='ORG'>Lake Resources</ent>, Inc.; (2) The

Stanford Technology Trading Group, Inc.; and (3) Companie de Services

<p>U.S. DRUG TRAFFICKING:
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> REPORT</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>My team mate, Mr. <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent>, and I infiltrated <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> in November-December
|
|
1986 in cooperation with the <ent type='ORG'>White House</ent> to ascertain whether or not heroin
|
|
"king-pin" Khun Sa had access to U.S. Prisoners of War as was reported. 1;e
|
|
found no POWs, but Khun Sa agreed to send patrols throughout western <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> to
|
|
check for POW presence. During our interview with him, he stated he wanted to
|
|
eliminate the 700-900, tons of opium/heroin that is trafficked through his
|
|
area (the <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent>") each year. He stated that he would also expose
|
|
U.S. Government officials involved in the drug trafficking. Mr. <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> and I
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned to the U.S. in December 1986. I submitted the video taped
|
|
conversations to the <ent type='ORG'>White House</ent>, excited about the potential dialogue on drug
|
|
suppression. I received a telephone call from my <ent type='ORG'>White House</ent> liaison, lauding
|
|
our successful interview with drug warlord Khun Sa who had previously been
|
|
reported killed by the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>. When asked about the reaction and planned response
|
|
to Khun Sa's proposal to eliminate drug flow into the free world I was told,
|
|
"There is no interest here in doing that". This seemed most strange, since
|
|
Vice-President <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> is appointed as the nations top policeman for drug
|
|
control. Immediately thereafter, my partner (Mr. <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent>) was arrested. He was
|
|
told by federal agents and members of the attorney general s office that I was
|
|
the true target of an investigation connecting me with <ent type='ORG'>White House</ent> misdeeds
|
|
(i.e., Oliver <ent type='PERSON'>North</ent> etc.). A proffer was made that guaranteed Mr. <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent>
|
|
probation without supervision, so that he could join me oVerseas in the
|
|
on-going POW liberation effort. Instead of this, <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> was subsequently
|
|
sentenced to 5 years in prison for a technical violation of the law, which act
|
|
several federal offices and authorities admitted having sanctioned.
|
|
Simultaneously, the U.S. Government criticized <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> for failure
|
|
to destroy Khun Sa , and declared no mercy . The ambassador for narcotic
|
|
control went to <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> and announced: "The U.S. will never
|
|
negotiate with the free world's worst enemy, Khun Sa." For 60 days, newspapers
|
|
in <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> headlined the efforts of tens of thousands of <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent> and <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent>
|
|
troops deployed against Khun Sa's stronghold.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned to <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> to visit Khun Sa in May 1987, and see if he would release
|
|
his information on corrupt and drug dealing U.S. officials. Instead of
|
|
finding a war zone in his area, I found a new road, built by the <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent>
|
|
government - with heavy equipment, leading directly to Khun Sa s <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent> State
|
|
headquarters. When questioned about the lack of evidence of any bomb, bullet,
|
|
damage to the heavy-duty truck route, he laughed at the headlines we d seen
|
|
and explained: "It was only a newspaper war." I observed thousands of teak
|
|
trees along the entryway on the <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent> side of the border. Obviously, Khun Sa
|
|
had traded teak to the <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent>s'' for a 'phony' war and high-speed road. The
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent>s and <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> were praised by the U.S. Government, insuring millions in
|
|
drug suppression funds.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>During our eight-day stay, Khun Sa and his staff gave us names of past and
|
|
present U.S. officials involved in drug buying and trafficking.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is unconscionable that <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> tax payers are funding millions on a
|
|
suppression program infected with corrupt officials. Drug traffic has steadily
|
|
increased each year. In 1986 it was estimated at 700 tons of opium/heroin.
|
|
This year - with the new road - Khun Sa should reach his stated goal of 900
|
|
tons. Khun Sa says that for one tenth of the <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> drug suppression money,
|
|
he will use his 40000-man army to completely eliminate all opium/heroin
|
|
traffic through the <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent> territory. His desire is to
|
|
safeguard his 8 million <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent> people from the <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> spraying of "Agent
|
|
Orange" defoliant on <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent> State crops, animals and people. He seeks
|
|
recognition of <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent>land through politically-recognized negotiations that would
|
|
have given independence to <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent>land from <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> in 1957. The <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> refuse to
|
|
release this territory, and continue to overtly suppress the population.
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent>land (160000 square miles) comprises 40% of the <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> landmass and it is
|
|
estimated that 80% of the <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> economy comes from the natural resources of
|
|
the <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent> States.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The attached tapes and news copies detail this story. Additionally, 8mm sound
|
|
movies, stills, video masters and accompanying audio are available.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The bottom line is that Khun Sa has been besieged by corrupt U.S. ploys,
|
|
<ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> has been railroaded, and I myself have been federally indicted
|
|
for use of a false passport. Now that I have been to <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> and learned who in
|
|
the U.S. Government Executive Branch have been involved with drug trafficking,
|
|
it is easy to understand the frantic efforts to prevent disclosure of this
|
|
report.</p>

|
|
<p>NINE HUNDRED TONS OF HEROIN & <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> WILL ENTER THE FREE WORLD FROM SOUTHEAST
|
|
ASIA'S "GOLDEN TRIANGLE" THIS YEAR. The reason is because U.S. taxpayer
|
|
dollars and <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> equipment have been used to construct a new road that
|
|
will allow narcotics to pour out of General Khun Sa's <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent> Territories rather
|
|
than trickle out by horse and mule as has been the case until the beginning of
|
|
this year.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Last year 600 tons of Opiates trafficked from this area. <ent type='ORG'>Press</ent> reports
|
|
included as part of this statement argue that it is logistically impossible to
|
|
increase the output to 900 toins. The new road capable of easily handling 10
|
|
ton truck convoys signal not only the capability, but the reality. The
|
|
disappointing fact is that this new artery was constructed by the <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent>
|
|
Government using money, manpower, time and materials furnished by our drug
|
|
suppression funds.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Moreover, there are serious implications that elements within the U.S.
|
|
Government are Khun Sa's biggest customers. The facts are that for 15 years
|
|
U.S. taxpayers through legislative bodies like this committee and executive
|
|
agencies such as have testified here today, have dumped hundres of millions of
|
|
dollars into drug suppression programs within <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> which have
|
|
done nothing but nourish the flow of narcotics from <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> into <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent>
|
|
States. The proof is statistically clear. Fifteen years ago the flow of
|
|
Opiates was 60 tons; this year it will approach or exceed 900 tons. The
|
|
reasons, while multi)faceted, boil down to one word, "money".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Certain high level <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent> and <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> officials are packing their pockets with
|
|
U.S. supplied drug suppression funds; political pay*offs, and other spin)off
|
|
profits like the thousands of Teak trees felled during the Khun Sa road
|
|
effort. Khun Sa has no outlet for teak, but it is a protected and highly
|
|
valued commodity in <ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent>. More shameful are the serious allegations
|
|
raised by General Khun Sa and his staff that corrupt U.S. officials allow this
|
|
travesty and in certain cases are directly involved.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After meeting with General Khun Sa and others, I am convinced that a sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
combination exists today within the U.S. Government that was officially
|
|
germinated during the <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> ) <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> years and has, through illicit drug
|
|
profits, propagated itself today into a self)serving righteous monster of
|
|
global proportions. I believe Ed <ent type='PERSON'>Wilson</ent> was a member of this combination and
|
|
that his activities represent only one of many tentacles. I believe the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>)<ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent> situation is merely another visible lesion that has emerged
|
|
from this extra)governmental organism.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I say "would be righteous" because those within this sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> combination I
|
|
believe honestly think they are serving <ent type='GPE'>America</ent> by offering an established
|
|
model of sabotage, subversion, and assassination to areas threatened by
|
|
communism. They are in existence because normal government process is too
|
|
cumbersome, time consuming and oft times impotent. These persons who are
|
|
intelligent and well seeded in our governmental structure think they are
|
|
smarter than our elected officials and can expedite accomplishment of national
|
|
objectives. They have funded their efforts through drug trafficking because
|
|
of a 1960's mind set that anyone who would use opiates is animalistic and the
|
|
U.S.A. doesn't really care about them. They began their drug dealing in
|
|
Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> as a means to fund the sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> war in <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> and Cambodia that
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> was officially unaware of. Besides my personal experiences, all of
|
|
these conclusions are spelled out in the book, THE POLITICS OF HEROIN IN
|
|
SOUTHEAST ASIA.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I have good reason to believe that after President <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> got the U.S. out of
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>e "with honor", while bringing home "all the POW's" in 1973 that either
|
|
with his concurrance, or on the initiative of those "Best and Brightest"
|
|
included within the "President's 40", the war continued to be fought through
|
|
Project <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent>. The insiders knew the <ent type='PERSON'>North</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>ese would not abide by
|
|
the tri)accord and continue to consolidate their position in <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent>,
|
|
and Cambodia. Since the war was over there was no <ent type='NORP'>Congressional</ent> funding and
|
|
home)grown drug trafficking offered the most expedient solution. Ideally the
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>communist</ent> takeover in 1975 would fall like a house)of)cards since the
|
|
infrastructure would be eliminated by extreme prejudice through <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent>
|
|
operation. Even so, an estimated 150000 non)military persons were
|
|
terminated, the program failed to meet the expectations of those in charge.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Next, I believe <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent> model was moved to help stabilize a toppling <ent type='PERSON'>Shaw</ent>
|
|
who happened to be close to the <ent type='ORG'>Administration</ent> ) and to people in the sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
combination society, many of whom held high positions within the Executive
|
|
Branch. The <ent type='PERSON'>Shaw</ent> fell. By this time the model was self)perpetuating.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Rather than shut down after failing in <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>, there was a re*focus on the
|
|
building <ent type='NORP'>communist</ent> threat in Central <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>. The <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>)<ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>)Oliver
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>North</ent>)<ent type='ORG'>White House</ent> disclosures are only protrusions that have become visible
|
|
because of the extent and intensity of this para)government organization.
|
|
Even as these hearings are underway, representatives of this sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
combination are at work in the "<ent type='GPE'>Philippines</ent>, offering "anti)<ent type='NORP'>communist</ent>
|
|
solutions" to that struggling democracy. I believe that.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As years and changing administrations have gradually thinned
|
|
the society's active duty status within the U.S. Government, I
|
|
believe those who still steer the society have become more self*serving, making huge personal profitunder the guise of fighting
|
|
worldwide communism. Further, I believe they are maximizing their\j\influence to protect those of t brotherhood who still hold active
|
|
office in the government.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I have been told for years that U.S. POW's would never be allowed to <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn
|
|
because they were directly related to illegal drug trafficking by U.S.
|
|
officials. Until May of 1987, I thought this absurd. Now, after eight years
|
|
in the POW)Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>n arena, I clearly can see what was hidden except to
|
|
those more sensitive to power politics than myself. The reason we have met
|
|
the enemy and he is U.S. in our efforts to <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn POWs while they are still
|
|
alive is simple. When POWs are <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned the first demand by the <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>
|
|
people will be to examine those within the government responsible for their
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn. <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> will want to know why these individuals failed in their
|
|
official capactities; why the burden fell on the private sector; and what took
|
|
so long if the POW issue is truly "Top National Priority" as designated by
|
|
President Reagan. Upon investigation it will be revealed that responsible
|
|
officials were more interested in actuating their sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> society than
|
|
accounting for our POW and <ent type='ORG'>MIA</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The fact is that all of <ent type='ORG'>the Heroin and Opiates</ent> could be shut off at the Golden
|
|
Triangle if America's responsible elected and appointed officials would do
|
|
their job. General Khun Sa is recognized as the drug king)pin and controls
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent> with a well disciplined army of 40000 <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent> soldiers. He
|
|
has stated to me before three other <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> witnesses on video tape that he
|
|
greatly desires to stop the drug trafficking, but we won't let him. He has
|
|
promised that if we will give him any economic alternative, he will not just
|
|
stem, but stop the flow of narcotics through his areas of control. He has
|
|
said for example that for one)tenth the money we now give the <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> for drug
|
|
suppression turned into economic aid and crop substitution, he will use his
|
|
force to enforce what we cannot and have not. In addition, Khun Sa has
|
|
stipulated that the <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> must be stopped from using the 12 <ent type='ORG'>Bell Helicopters</ent>
|
|
and fixed wing aircraft given them by the U.S. to spray the <ent type='GPE'>Shan</ent> State people,
|
|
animals, food and water with Agent Orange and herbicides. All that I have
|
|
presented thus far is backed up by written and recorded documents made
|
|
available to the <ent type='ORG'>Committee</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It has been reported to me by committee personnel that Khun Sa has made these
|
|
offers before. They say the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> has expressed doubt and mistrust that Khun Sa
|
|
will carry out his part of the bargain. I and three other <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s have met
|
|
with Khun Sa. We all believe him to be sincere. Certainly in view of the
|
|
dismal failure of the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent> to slow, stop or even deter the flood of
|
|
drugs from the <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent>, it seems that a change in dynamics is in
|
|
order. Especially since Khun Sa has directly implicated persons within the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> as some of his best customers. The video tapes show testimony of a
|
|
frustrated medical doctor who, under orders from Khun Sa, did everything from
|
|
offer radio links to Khun Sa's headquarters to present a horse that might be
|
|
used to alert <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent> of drug movements. The low level agents supported these
|
|
initatives, but in every case they were rejected at <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent> headquarter levels.
|
|
\j\</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> I have strived at the invitation of <ent type='ORG'>the Executive Branch</ent> for eight
|
|
years to convince political skeptics that <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> POWs are alive in the hands
|
|
of <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> forces in <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>. I abhore drugs and dopes that are
|
|
users, yet in the past two weeks I've been told by committee staff and others
|
|
that "federal sources and a <ent type='ORG'>Los Angeles</ent> State Department employee have said
|
|
that I am a "drug trafficker", and I will be in prison before July 4th. I
|
|
know this level of federal employee would never make such slanderous
|
|
statements unless encouraged by higher)ups. While following the classic model
|
|
of "deny)defame)divert," it is disappointing that law enforcement agencies
|
|
would reveal such low life practices as directly as they have, and then avoid
|
|
comment when confronted.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I have tried in every way to cooperate with the committee and its membership.
|
|
I've furnished video tapes, only to be informed that the chairman has blocked
|
|
their distribution. I've supplied the Suchesk letter to Vice President <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>,
|
|
and requested a written transcript of the file from which Khun Sa's sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary
|
|
read from. I received a letter in the mail last week. It was from Khun Sa.
|
|
The stapled and sealed envelope had been opened. Inside, the pamphlet, which
|
|
had also been stapled shut, had been opened and the contents removed. I had
|
|
asked Khun Sa to translate his record; sign it himself with two additional
|
|
witnesses. I was assured this document was part of the opened package. I
|
|
have requested my contacts furnish me with a FAX of their copy. It serves to
|
|
supplement in writing the verbal and video accounts.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'm disillusioned that this committee which represents the interest of 240
|
|
million <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s in controling illegal drug trafficking, would take such a
|
|
negative and skeptical position on such a critical issue as Khun Sa's proposal
|
|
and my deliverance of the information he gave us. I've been told that I must
|
|
"sell my case" to you. Facts are, I am a citizen who has been twice to see a
|
|
warlord who is recognized as the world's most powerful Heroin kingpin. This
|
|
person has shown statistically that our 15 year old drug suppression program
|
|
is, at best, "dumb" by anyone's standards. At best we have millions of US tax
|
|
dollars being mishandled; one recipient has made use of U.S. assets to build a
|
|
major road, and secures that road from outside infiltration; 900 tons of
|
|
opiates entering the free world; rampant corruption of allied officials. At
|
|
worst in addition to the best case, we have officials within the <ent type='ORG'>USG</ent> who
|
|
won't, as Khun Sa says, let him get out of the drug business, because they are
|
|
his biggest buyers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Your business is representing <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> interest in drug control. You greatly
|
|
influence how our tax dollars are used and how well the enforcement agencies
|
|
do their job. My business is bringing home POWs while they are still alive.
|
|
Neither one of us has been able to make much head way because I'm convinced
|
|
there are persons within the government that are opposing us both. If POWs
|
|
came home, the resulting investigation will expose their drug involvement; if
|
|
the drugs are stopped, their source of income dries up. I agree that
|
|
communism threatens the liberty of free people everywhere, but in my opinion
|
|
drugs are even a bigger and more immediate threat. To\j\fuel these
|
|
self)righteous freedom fighters with drug money is to steal, cheat, and
|
|
mislead every <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> taxpayer, and circumnavigate the greatest governmental
|
|
system in the world. While it may appear slow, and at times fickle and
|
|
indecisive, still our's is the greatest government in the world. There aren't
|
|
boat loads of <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s headed for <ent type='GPE'>the Soviet Union</ent>. I believe our system was
|
|
divinely inspired. I believe it will work despite any shortcoming.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As a member of <ent type='ORG'>The Church</ent> of Jesus Christ of Latter)Day Saints with Temple
|
|
Endowments, I raise my hand to the square and swear before God, Angels, and
|
|
you as witnesses, that this statement is the absolute truth as I know it. I
|
|
hope you can swear before God that you will execute the responsibilities to
|
|
your constituents with all honesty in thoroughly investigating the proposal
|
|
for eliminating all drug trafficking from the <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent>, and seeing to
|
|
the objective investigation and prosecution of any <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> officials found to
|
|
be guilty of maliciously dealing in drugs. I personally don't believe the
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s named by Khun Sa as conspiritors in <ent type='GPE'>traffickings</ent> could pass an
|
|
honest security background check. I believe if you do your job as our
|
|
representative body, you will uncover and topple those members of this sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
combination like a line of dominos. If you give this hearing only a cameo
|
|
appearance, the combination will be strengthened and our nation could be in
|
|
for a period like the <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> era. Your positive attention to this matter
|
|
should also speed the safe <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn of our POWs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I believe we can stop the heroin and opium by working with <ent type='PERSON'>Kuhn</ent> Sa instead of
|
|
against him. At worst we lose 10 percent of the <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> Socialist State
|
|
suppression funds. You don't have to be from <ent type='GPE'>Las Vegas</ent> to recognize Khun Sa's
|
|
offer as a good bet. I believe in him and that he will keep his word. We
|
|
can't hardly afford not to take the chance. I believe the <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> public
|
|
would be outraged to discover we by)passed such an opportunity because people
|
|
who are suspect as traffickers say they "don't trust Khun Sa." Their line
|
|
should be added to other greats such as, "I'm from the government, I'm here to
|
|
help you"; and "your check is in the mail."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The body of this statement contains a chronology of events. I have attached
|
|
germain documents that attest to the allegations made in the video tapes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <ent type='ORG'>THE SILENT</ent> WAR</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> We are engaged in a silent war. Those waging this brutal conflict have
|
|
not the decency to inform their victims ))) who include ourselves and
|
|
almost everyone we know. Their standard bearers include <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent> and
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Rockefeller</ent>. As the high priced professional liars in the mass
|
|
media assure us all is well, the common people of the world are being
|
|
crushed ))) like foot soldiers over run by a panzer division.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> And yet, the only real power of these perpetrators derives only from this
|

force fed ignorance. Apart from the power to keep us fighting each

other, the <ent type='ORG'>Monopolists</ent> have no power. If a critical mass of people can

|
|
|
|
<p>BACKGROUND:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE IN <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent>, (APPROXIMATELY <ent type='GPE'>THREE</ent> <ent type='ORG'>TIME</ent>S THE SIZE OF TAIWAN) HAD
|
|
BEEN UNDER <ent type='NORP'>BRITISH</ent> PROTECTION PRIOR TO 1948. THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> PEOPLE, POPULATION OF 8
|
|
MILLION, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF KHUN SA SIGNED AN AGREE<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T TO UNIFY WITH THE
|
|
BURMESE GOVERN<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T IN ORDER TO OBTAIN INDEPENDENCE FROM THE <ent type='NORP'>BRITISH</ent>. THE
|
|
PINLONG AGREE<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T , REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED NATIONS, CONTAINED A CONTAINED
|
|
A CONDITION THAT WOULD ALLOW THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> PEOPLE TO FREELY SECEDE FROM <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> <ent type='ORG'>AFT</ent>ER
|
|
A <ent type='ORG'>TEN YEAR</ent> PERIOD AND BECOME AN INDEPENDENT STATE.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>WHEN GENERAL NE WIN, A SO<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>LIST, TOOK OVER <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> HE <ent type='ORG'>ABOLISHED</ent> THE PINLONG
|
|
AGREE<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T AND OPENED THE DOOR FOR THE <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> COMMUNIST PARTY TO <ent type='ORG'>GAIN</ent> A STRONG
|
|
HOLD IN THE COUNTRY. IT WAS AT THIS <ent type='ORG'>TIME</ent> THAT <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>REBELLION</ent> FOR INDEPENDENCE
|
|
BEGAN.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>IN EARLY 1949 <ent type='ORG'>THE COMMUNIST PARTY</ent> OF <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> MOVED INTO THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES
|
|
OF THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE AND ESTABLISHED MILITARY STRONGHOLDS WHILE ENGAGING IN THE
|
|
BUSINESS OF; <ent type='PERSON'>OPIUM CULTIVATION</ent>, PROCESSING, TRANSPORTATION AND SALE. IN 1950
|
|
REMNANTS OF <ent type='PERSON'>CHAING KAI</ent>)SHEK'S <ent type='ORG'>KMT</ent> <ent type='ORG'>ARMY</ent> MOVED FROM <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>MAINLAND</ent> <ent type='GPE'>CHINA</ent> INTO</ent> THE SAME

|
AREA. THEY ALSO ESTABLISHED STRONGHOLDS AND FREELY ENGAGED IN THE <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent>
|
|
BUSINESS TO SUPPORT THEIR ARMIES.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>tHE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> PEOPLE, ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION, FOUND THEMSELVES SURROUNDED AND
|
|
OPPRESSED BY <ent type='ORG'>THE COMMUNIST PARTY</ent> OF <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent>, THE <ent type='ORG'>KMT</ent> ARMIES AND A VARIETY OF
|
|
RENEGADE <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> WARLORDS. ALL THE FACTIONS FREELY ROAMED THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> TERRITORY
|
|
PRESSING <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> PEOPLE INTO THEIR SERVICE AS FARMERS, <ent type='ORG'>PORTERS</ent> AND GUIDES. THESE
|
|
FORCES SHARED LITTLE OF THEIR FINAN<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>L <ent type='ORG'>GAIN</ent>S WITH THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> POPULATION, BUT
|
|
WERE FREE TO DISPENSE TORTURE, RAPE AND MURDER TO ALL WHO WOULD NOT CO)OPERATE
|
|
WITH THEM. TO PROVIDE FOOD AND FREEDOM FOR HIS PEOPLE, KHUN SA ORGANIZED HIS
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ARMY</ent> AND TURNED TO <ent type='PERSON'>OPIUM CULTIVATION</ent> FOR HIS INCOME.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>AS THE YEARS PASSED KHUN SA <ent type='ORG'>GAIN</ent>ED MILITARY SUPERIORITY IN THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE. HE
|
|
BEGAN TO SLOWLY PHASE OUT THE)CULTIVATION OF <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> AMONG THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> POPULATION.
|
|
TO REPLACE THAT BLOCK OF INCOME HE STARTED TO COLLECT TAXES WHILE PROVIDING
|
|
SAFE TRANSPORTATION AND PASSAGE THROUGH HIS TERRITORY TO THE DAILY CARAVANS OF
|
|
NARCOTIC TRAFFICKERS ON THEIR WAY TO THE SOUTHERN OUTLETS OF <ent type='GPE'>THAILAND</ent>.</p>
|
|
|

<p><ent type='GPE'>TODAY</ent>, KHUN SA STILL HAS SOME SMALL ISOLATED POCKETS OF <ent type='PERSON'>OPIUM CULTIVATION</ent>
|
|
AMONG THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> PEOPLES. HE IS ATTEMPTING TO ERADICATE THESE FIELDS AS QUICKLY
|
|
AS HE CAN PROVIDE ALTERNATE INCOME PROGRAMS FOR HIS FARMERS.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>PROPOSAL:</p>

<p>KHUN SA IS PREPARED TO IMPLE<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T A PHASE OUT PROGRAM TO COMPLETELY STOP THE

CULTIVATION OF <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> IN THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> TERRITORIES. HE IS PREPARED TO ESTABLISH A

FROM <ent type='GPE'>CHINA</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> AND <ent type='LOC'>LAOS</ent> ON THEIR TRAVELS TO THE <ent type='GPE'>THAILAND</ent> OUTLETS THROUGH

THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> TERRITORIES.</p>
|
|
|

<p>TO IMPLE<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T THIS PROPOSAL, KHUN SA STATES THAT HE COULD MAINTAIN MILITARY

|
CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE IN THAT AREA FOR ABOUT HALF THE COST OF THE CURRENT
|

U.S. BUDGET EXPENDED BY THE D.E.A. FORCES NOW STATIONED IN <ent type='GPE'>THAILAND</ent>. A

D.E.A. HAVE FOR YEARS ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE FLOW OF NARCOTICS FROM THE GOLDEN

|
ACTIVITIES WHICH RANGE FROM THE COLLECTION OF INTELLIGENCE TO THE OCCASIONAL
|

BOMBING, RAIDING AND BURNING OF SOME ISOLATED <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> PRODUCING FIELDS. IN ALL

THE TOTAL PROGRAM HAS NOT <ent type='ORG'>MET</ent> WITH ANY APPRE<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>BLE SUCCESS.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>tHE <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> GOVERN<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T, FUNDED BY THE D.E.A., HAVE ENGAGED IN A SERIES OF

INDISCRIMINATING BOMBING RAIDS ON SUSPECTED <ent type='ORG'>VILLAGES</ent> KILLING AND WOUNDING
|
|
COUNTLESS INNOCENT WO<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent> AND CHILDREN. THEY HAVE <ent type='ORG'>SPRAYED OPIUM</ent> FIELDS AND

<ent type='ORG'>VILLAGES</ent> WITH CHEMICAL THAT NOT ONLY KILL THE VEGETATION BUT ALSO POISON THE

SURROUNDING WATER SUPPLIES AND SUBSEQUENT NEW PLANT GROWTH. HUNDREDS OF

WATERS\j\AND <ent type='ORG'>EAT</ent>ING NEWLY GROWN VEGETABLES RAISED IN POISONED FIELDS. 082986</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>THAI AND D.E.A. CORRUPT OFFI<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>LS ARE USING U.S. FUNDS TO PURCHASE NARCOTICS
|
|
FOR RE SALE, SELLING U.S. ARMS TO KHUN SA'S FORCES AND ARE INVOLVED IN A HOST
|
|
OF OTHER ILLEGAL ACTIVES. AS LONG AS THESE CORRUPT OPERATIONS CONTINUE , IT
|
|
WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE THE <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> OPERATIONS IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>PROPOSAL:</p>

<p>KHUN SA IS PREPARING HARD DOCU<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>TATION OF THE CORRUPT ACTS OF THE THAI AND

|
CORRUPT D.E.A. PERSONNEL FROM THAT OPERATIONAL AREA AND REPLACE THEM WITH A
|
|
NEW CADRE OF TRUSTED U.S. GOVERN<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T AGENTS. KHUN SA WELCOMES THE CONCEPT OF

HAVING OBSERVERS TO MONITOR HIS NARCOTIC <ent type='ORG'>ERADICATION</ent> ACTIVITIES IN THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent>

<p>BACKGROUND</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> DURING THE RAINY SEASON IN THE LATE 1978 KHUN SA'S FORCES FOUND 4 U.S. M/I/A/
|
|
PERSONNEL IN THE NORTHERN JUNGLES OF <ent type='LOC'>LAOS</ent>. HIS FORCES ESCORTED THE 4 <ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent> TO

THE <ent type='ORG'>MEKONG</ent> RIVER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE RAIN SWOLLEN RIVER, THE 4
|
|
U.S. PERSONNEL. <ent type='GPE'>THREE</ent> OF KHUN SA'S SOLDIERS AND TWO HORSES WERE SWEPT AWAY BY

<p>KHUN SA HAS HAD REP<ent type='ORG'>EAT</ent>ED INTELLIGENCE REPORTS OF THE LOCATION OF U.S. AND

INFORMATION, IT WAS IGNORED.</p>
|
|
|

<p>AT MY REQUEST, KHUN SA CONFIRMED THE EXISTENCE OF SOME 70 U.S. M.I.A./P.O.W.'S

|
|
|
|
<p>BACKGROUND:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>IN THE 1800'S THE <ent type='NORP'>BRITISH</ent> INTRODUCED <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> INTO <ent type='ORG'>MAINLAND</ent> <ent type='GPE'>CHINA</ent>. A CHINESE
|
|
HERB DOCTOR, ALARMED AT THE GROWING NUMBER OF NARCOTIC ADDICTS, DEVELOPED A
|
|
MIXTURE OF HERBS USED TO CURE ADDICTS OF THEIR CRAVINGS FOR NARCOTICS. THE
|
|
PROCESS STARTED WITH THE INGESTION OF A SMALL QUANTITY OF THE HERBAL MIXTURE.
|
|
THE ADDICT THEN EXPERIENCED 12 TO 15 HOURS OF SLEEP. FOR <ent type='ORG'>THE NEXT FEW DAYS</ent>
|
|
THE ADDICT DETOXIFIED BY PASSING THE BODY POISONS THROUGH THE URINE AND SW<ent type='ORG'>EAT</ent>
|
|
GLANDS. <ent type='ORG'>AFT</ent>ER <ent type='EVENT'>LESS THAN ONE WEEK</ent> , THE ADDICT WOULD BEGIN TO <ent type='ORG'>EAT</ent> NORMALLY AND

COMPLETE. UPON COMPLETION, THE FORMER ADDICT WAS READY TO RETURN TO HIS

|
NORMAL LIFE DUTIES, HAVING LOST ALL CRAVINGS AND DESIRES FOR ANY DRUGS.</p>

<p>THIS PROCESS IS STILL IN USE <ent type='GPE'>TODAY</ent>. A SPE<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>L CLINIC IN BANGKOK HAS TR<ent type='ORG'>EAT</ent>ED

OVER 10000 ADDICTS USING THE SAME HERBAL MIXTURE AS PASSED ON BY THE OLD

CHINESE DOCTOR.</p>

<p>PROPOSAL:</p>

|
|
<p>KHUN SA HAS OFFERED THIS FORMULA AND PROCESS TO THE U.S.A. AND THE FREE WORLD

|
|
<p>SUMMARY:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>KHUN SA IS EXTREMELY DESIROUS TO ALIGNING HIS PEOPLE WITH <ent type='GPE'>THE UNITED STATES</ent> OF
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent>. THE <ent type='ORG'>RUSSIANS</ent> HAVE BOMBARDED HIM WITH OFFERS OF ECONOMIC AND MILITARY

AID. HE IS RESISTING THEIR TEMPTING OFFERS, AND WHILE HE HAS AGREED TO SEND
|
|
80 YOUNG STUDENTS TO RUSSIA FOR TRAINING, WILL STOP THE ACTIVITY UPON SEEING
|
|
ANY OVERT OR COVERT EXPRESSION OF SUPPORT FROM THE U.S.A.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>KHUN SA HAS EXPRESSED IN LENGTH HIS NEED AND CONCERNS FOR THE ORDERLY

|
TRANSITION OF <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent>LAND INTO AN INDEPENDENT STATE. A NEW PROPOSAL PLAN WAS

|
DISCUSSED, AND WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE VICE PRESIDENT IN PERSON BY THE

SURVIVAL TO TURN TO THE <ent type='ORG'>RUSSIANS</ent>.</p>

HO-MONG, <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> TERRITORY, <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent>. TO THE HONORABLE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
|
|
STATES OF <ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent>, MR. <ent type='PERSON'>BUSH</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='ORG'>SINCE</ent> MR. <ent type='ORG'>SUCHESK</ent> CAME TO OUR PLACE TO <ent type='GPE'>MEET</ent> ME IN THE VILLAGE OF HO-MONG, WE
|
|
DISCUSSED THE SITUATION IN <ent type='GPE'>CHINA</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> AND <ent type='GPE'>THAILAND</ent> AND ABOUT THE D.E.A. AND
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> AND ALSO THE <ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent>N P.0.W. IN <ent type='LOC'>LAOS</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE LIBERTY TO EXPRESS MY INTENTIONS AND IN
|
|
VIEW OF YOUR SITUATION TO YOUR <ent type='ORG'>EXCELLENCY</ent> VICE PRESIDENT OF <ent type='GPE'>THE UNITED STATES</ent>
|
|
OF <ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent>, I BELIEVE YOUR <ent type='ORG'>EXCELLENCY</ent> IS AN HONORABLE MAN.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>WHEN MR. <ent type='PERSON'>JOSEPH NELLIS</ent> ( U.S. <ent type='ORG'>CONGRESS</ent> ) CAME TO <ent type='GPE'>MEET</ent> ME.IN 1977, I PROPOSED A
|
|
GUARANTEED SIX YEAR PLAN TO END THE <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> PRODUCTION IN <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE. I KNOW
|
|
THAT <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> IS HARMFUL TO SO MANY PEOPLE. I WANT TO HELP SOLVE THIS <ent type='ORG'>PROBLEM</ent>. I
|
|
TELL THEM (<ent type='PERSON'>JOE NELLIS</ent> ) THAT THE <ent type='ORG'>MET</ent>HODS THE <ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent>NS HAVE BEEN PURSUING SO
|
|
FAR WAS AN INEFFECTIVE PRUNING <ent type='ORG'>MET</ent>HOD. TO CUT OFF LEAVES OF SOME ISOLATED
|
|
BRANCHES, BUT THE <ent type='ORG'>TREE</ent> NEVER DIES!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>MY SIX YEAR PLAN IN CONTRAST WAS THE UPROOTING <ent type='ORG'>MET</ent>HOD, A SURE WAY TO END THE
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>PROBLEM</ent>. SO IF D.E.A. REALLY WANT TO END IT, THEY SHOULD HAVE APPROACHED US,
|
|
INSTEAD THEY SENT OUR OWN BROTHERS THE THAI MILITARY UNITS TO HUNT ME DOWN,
|
|
ALL TOGETHER FOR 36 <ent type='ORG'>TIME</ent>S! IF THEY AIM TO GO ON DOING THE JOB THIS WAY, WE CAN
|
|
BET THEY CAN GO ON FOR ANOTHER 60 YEARS AND NEVER SUCCEED. I HAVE SHOWN A
|
|
DR<ent type='ORG'>AFT</ent> OF MY PLAN TO MR. NELLIS AND A<ent type='ORG'>GAIN</ent> SEND IT TO YOU THROUGH MR. <ent type='ORG'>SUCHESK</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>NOW PLEASE LET ME PRESENT A SHORT ACCOUNT OF HOW THE <ent type='PERSON'>REBELLION</ent> AND THE <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>PROBLEM</ent> IN <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> HAVE DEVELOPED TO THIS DATE. <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE HAS BEEN A
|
|
PROTECTORATE STATE UNDER <ent type='NORP'>BRITISH</ent> RULE BEFORE 1948. <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> PEOPLE MADE AN
|
|
AGREE<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T TO TAKE INDEPENDENCE WITH THE BURMESE ON A CONDITION THAT <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE
|
|
COULD SUCCEED FROM <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> AS AN INDEPENDENT STATE <ent type='ORG'>AFT</ent>ER 10 YEARS. THAT WAS
|
|
WRITTEN IN THE 1948 <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> CONSTITUTION, WHICH GENERAL NE WIN HAD <ent type='ORG'>ABOLISHED</ent>.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>SINCE</ent> THEN THE <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>REBELLION</ent> BEGAN.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='ORG'>AFT</ent>ER THE INDEPENDENCE OF <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>THE COMMUNIST PARTY</ent> OF <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> ALSO MADE
|
|
NORTHERN <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE ITS STRONGHOLD, AND THE <ent type='ORG'>KMT</ent> REMNANTS CAME IN FROM <ent type='GPE'>CHINA</ent> IN
|
|
EARLY 1950. BEING OPPRESSED BY NE WIN REGIME, <ent type='ORG'>THE COMMUNIST PARTY</ent> OF <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent> AND
|
|
THE <ent type='ORG'>KMT</ent> REMNANTS, <ent type='ORG'>THE PEOPLE</ent> OF <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE WERE ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION SO
|
|
THEY TURNED TO <ent type='PERSON'>OPIUM CULTIVATION</ent> WHICH THE <ent type='ORG'>KMT</ent> ENCOURAGED THEM TO DO</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='ORG'>SINCE</ent> THEN, <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> HAS BEEN AN EVER GROWING <ent type='ORG'>PROBLEM</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>THE PEOPLE</ent> GROW.IT NEVER
|
|
KNOW WHERE THEIR OPI0M IS HEADING FOR. THEY JUST SELL TO WHOM EVER BUY IT AND
|
|
WITH THAT MONEYS THEY WILL BUY OTHER LIFE NECESSITIES.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>AS I HAVE SAID THE D.E.A. HAS TRIED SO MANY <ent type='ORG'>TIME</ent>S TO HUNT ME DOWN, DROVE ME
|
|
OUT OF <ent type='GPE'>THAILAND</ent> AND SAID WITHIN <ent type='GPE'>THREE</ent> MONTHS KHUN SA WOULD BE <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent>D, OR HE
|
|
WOULD FLEE TO <ent type='ORG'>RANGOON</ent>, OR GO JOIN <ent type='ORG'>THE COMMUNIST PARTY</ent> OF <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent>. IN REALITY FOR
|
|
KHUN SA, THERE IS NO NEED TO RUN AWAY TO ANY OTHER PLACE. HE HAS HIS NATIVE
|
|
LAND <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE. <ent type='ORG'>SINCE</ent> HE IS WORKING FOR HIS PEOPLE THEY SUPPORT HIM WITH WHAT
|
|
THEY HAVE, RICE, CORN, <ent type='ORG'>SALT</ent>, CLOTHES, MONEY AND IF THEY ONLY HAVE <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent>, THEY
|
|
GIVE HIM <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>CONCERNING THE <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> <ent type='ORG'>PROBLEM</ent>, DON'T THINK THAT THE <ent type='GPE'>BURMA</ent>, THAI AND D.E.A.
|
|
REALLY WANT TO FIND THE REAL SOLUTION. .THE RESULTS OF THEIR WORK MAY BE THE
|
|
BEST PROOF, AND STILL THE U.S. GOVERN<ent type='ORG'>MEN</ent>T SUPPORTS THEM, AND WILL NOT EVEN
|
|
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT MY SIX YEAR PLAN, MY GUARANTEE, INSTEAD THEY SUPPORT THOSE
|
|
WHO ARE KILLING OUR PEOPLE.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>HATE FOR THE U.S.A. IS GROWING IN THE HEARTS OF OUR PEOPLE. THEY SAY THE
|
|
U.S.A. IS KILLING OUR PARENTS FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN, AND KILLING OUR
|
|
CHILDREN FOR THE SAKE OF OUR PARENTS. WE ARE NOT SELLING OUR <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> TO THEM,
|
|
THEY CAN STAY AWAY FROM BUYING, WHY ALL THIS KILLING?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>THEY USE HERBICIDES TO SPRAY ON OUR FARMS THAT KILLS NOT ONLY <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> PLANTS BUT
|
|
ALSO OTHER VEGETABLES, INCLUDING GRASS AND LIVESTOCK. IT ALSO POISONS WATER
|
|
AROUND THE AREAS WHICH CLAIMS A THR<ent type='ORG'>EAT</ent> TO HUMAN LIVES. IS THAT THE POLICY OF
|
|
HUMAN RIGHTS OF THE U.S.A. DO THEY THINK THAT OUR LIVES ARE NOT AS VALUABLE AS
|
|
THE<ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent>? FOR MY PART I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IF THE U.S.A. WANTS TO STOP US
|
|
FROM GROWING <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent>, THEY SHOULD STOP GROWING WH<ent type='ORG'>EAT</ent>, WHERE THEN ARE THEY GOING
|
|
TO GET THEIR BREAD?. ( MONEY ) FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING THIS SIR, I'M NOT MEANING
|
|
TO BE RUDE, I ONLY WANT YOU TO BE SYMPATHETIC.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>OUR COUNTRY IS SURROUNDED BY <ent type='GPE'>CHINA</ent>, <ent type='LOC'>LAOS</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>THAILAND</ent> AND THE LOW LANDS OF BURMZ.
|
|
A<ent type='ORG'>GAIN</ent> THEY ( <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent> <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent>LERS) COME FROM <ent type='GPE'>THAILAND</ent>, FROM <ent type='GPE'>CHINA</ent>. WHEN EVER THE
|
|
THAI'S DO SO<ent type='ORG'>MET</ent>HING BAD TO OUR PEOPLE, THEY SAY THAT IT IS D.E.A., AND D.E.A.
|
|
IS <ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent>NS! IN THIS WAY THE HATE TOWARDS <ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent>N PEOPLE GROWS.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>YOUR <ent type='ORG'>EXCELLENCY</ent>, I AM <ent type='ORG'>SINCE</ent>RE IN SAYING THAT I WANT TO HELP SOLVE THIS
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>PROBLEM</ent>. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, SEND ANOTHER GROUP TO ME TO COMPETE A<ent type='ORG'>GAIN</ent>ST
|
|
THE D.E.A. TO WORK TOWARDS THE SOLUTION. THE RESULTS WILL SOON BE SEEN.
|
|
WHOEVER CAN SOLVE THE NARCOTIC <ent type='ORG'>PROBLEM</ent> IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE WILL BE ONE OF
|
|
THE GR<ent type='ORG'>EAT</ent> HEROES IN THE WORLD, AND I WISH TO HELP HIM.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I BELIEVE THAT EVERY LEADER OF HIS NATION IS WORKING FOR THE WELFARE OF HIS
|
|
PEOPLE, AND THE WELFARE OF ALL <ent type='ORG'>MANKIND</ent>. I BELIEVE THAT YOUR <ent type='ORG'>EXCELLENCY</ent> WOULD
|
|
BE INTERESTED IN SERVING ALL <ent type='ORG'>MANKIND</ent>. IF WE ARE ABLE TO FREE OUR <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE
|
|
TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT STATE, WITH THE HELP OF YOUR <ent type='ORG'>EXCELLENCY</ent>, WE WOULD
|
|
EVEN BE PLEASED TO BECOME ONE OF THE STATES OF THE U.S.A. AND A BASE TO
|
|
<ent type='EVENT'>PREVENT</ent> THE SPREADING OF COMMUNISM.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I HOPE THE VISIT OF MR. <ent type='ORG'>SUCHESK</ent> AND MR. <ent type='ORG'>DICK HSU</ent> WILL BECOME A STEPPING STONE
|
|
TO OUR CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE SALVATION OF VICTIMS OF THE
|
|
WORLD.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I BEG YOUR EXZELLENCY TO HELP <ent type='ORG'>THE PEOPLE</ent> OF <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE. <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE IS A VZRY
|
|
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY RICH IN MINERALS AND <ent type='ORG'>FORESTS</ent> AND FREE FROM ALL KINDS OF
|
|
NATURAL D<ent type='ORG'>ISA</ent>STERS. IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO WOULD WISH TO HELP US, WE BELIEVE WE
|
|
COULD PAY YOU BACK WITH OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>IF <ent type='ORG'>SHAN</ent> STATE BECOMES AN INDEPENDENT STATE I AM CERTAIN IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE
|
|
PROGRESSIVE THAN <ent type='GPE'>SINGAPORE</ent> AND IT CAN BECOME A PLACE WHERE UNIVERSITIES CAN BE
|
|
ESTABLISHED AND PEOPLE FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD WOULD WANT TO <ent type='ORG'>ATTEND</ent>,
|
|
BECAUSE IT IS A <ent type='ORG'>CALM</ent> AND BEAUTIFUL PLACE WITH MODERATE CLIMATE AND FREE FROM
|
|
NATURAL D<ent type='ORG'>ISA</ent>STERS.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>AS A F<ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent>T STEP TO FIND WAYS OF EARNING MONEYS TO SUBSTITUTE THE <ent type='ORG'>OPIUM</ent>
|
|
CULTIVATION, WE WOULD LIKE TO MANUFACTURE SOUVENIR COINS AND STAMPS IN GOLD
|
|
AND SILVER, AS MR. <ent type='ORG'>SUCHESK</ent> HAS SUGZESTED. BUT WE HAVE VERY LITTLE EDUCATED
|
|
PEOPLE TO HANDLE THIS, SO I BEG YOUR <ent type='ORG'>EXCELLENCY</ent> TO ALLOW MR. <ent type='ORG'>SUCHESK</ent> AND MR.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>DICK HSU</ent> TO COME AND HELP US IN THIS FIELD.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <ent type='ORG'>THE SILENT</ent> WAR</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> We are engaged in a silent war. Those waging this brutal conflict have
|
|
not the decency to inform their victims ))) who include ourselves and
|
|
almost everyone we know. Their standard bearers include <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent> and
|

<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Rockefeller</ent>. As the high priced professional liars in the mass

crushed ))) like foot soldiers over run by a panzer division.</p>
|

<p> And yet, the only real power of these perpetrators derives only from this

force fed ignorance. Apart from the power to keep us fighting each

<p>Re: <ent type='ORG'>Citizen Complaint</ent> of Wrongdoing by <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent> Officers</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Dear Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Meese</ent>:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am writing to you to register my complaints about certain actions that have
|
|
been carried out against me and my associates. I believe these actions
|
|
constitute violations of our civil rights as well as violations of the
|
|
criminal law in some instances. These actions are all the more reprehensible
|
|
in that they are politically motivated. I take this means to request that you
|
|
investigate these matters and, where appropriate, reprimand the individuals
|
|
involved and file criminal charges.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Let me explain my situation to you. I am a veteran of <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> States <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent>.
|
|
I served with the Special Forces in the <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> War for more than two years
|
|
between 1964 and 1970. I consider myself to be a patriot and am proud of my
|
|
service to this country. Since the end of the <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> War, I have been
|
|
actively involved in seeking to locate and free <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> POW's and MIA's left
|
|
behind in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>. I have been associated in these activities with Lt.
|
|
Col. James "Bo" <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> and others, including <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent>. I believe our
|
|
efforts have been carried out with the tacit ) if not always, overt ) approval
|
|
of certain elements within our government. These government and military
|
|
officials share our goal of freeing these forgotten <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the fall of 1986 Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> and Mr. <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> went to <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent>. They had
|
|
received intelligence from the "Basement of the <ent type='ORG'>White House</ent>", which led them
|
|
to believe certain <ent type='NORP'>Burmese</ent> had information about <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> POW's. These leads
|
|
proved to be unfounded. However, on that trip Col <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> learned about illegal
|
|
furg trafficking directed by U.S. government)related operatives. These drup
|
|
dealing activities were on such a scale that they were used to fund covert,
|
|
para)military operations in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> and in other parts of the world.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In May of 1987 I went to <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> with Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> and others. We brought back
|
|
startling evidence directly linking <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> officials with illegal drug
|
|
trafficking. A report on this <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> trip is attached he<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>o as Exhibit "A."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Over the years it has baffled me why the U.S. Government would not actively
|
|
and vigorously pursue the release of our POW's and MIA's. Now, the answer is
|
|
clear. Any renewed <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> activity in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>, on a scale necessary
|
|
to the release of the abandoned POW's and MIA's, would attract unwanted
|
|
attention to covert activities in the are. Government)sponsored drug
|
|
trafficking is an explosive subject. Obviously, many government elements want
|
|
the story left untold.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> was charged with illegal transportation of explosives. He was
|
|
made promises by <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Thomas Hahn</ent> which induced him to plead guilty to
|
|
the charges. It is, of course, highly improper for law enforcement officials
|
|
to make promises, especially false promises, to criminal defendants to
|
|
persuade them to plead to criminal charges. This was done in Mr. Weekly's
|
|
case. Pages were extracted from his pre)sentence report which would, very
|
|
likely have mitigated his sentence. This action would have to have been known
|
|
about and approved by the Assistant U.S. Attorney <ent type='PERSON'>Stephen Korotash</ent>. In
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Montana</ent>, Mr. Korotash's activities would have violated <ent type='ORG'>the Canons</ent> of
|
|
Professional Ethics, which hold:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>""a public prosecutor or other government lawyer in criminal litigation shall
|
|
make timely disclosure to counsel for the defendant, or to the defendant if he
|
|
has no counsel, of the existence of evidence, known to the prosecutor or other
|
|
government lawyer, that tends to negate the guilt of the accused, mitigate the
|
|
degree of the offense, or reduce the punishment." DR 7*103(b)^E^</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>""A lawyer shall not suppress any evidence that he or his client has a legal
|
|
obligation to reveal or produce." DR 7)109(A)^E^</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I believe Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> and Attorney <ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> conspired to violate \Mr. Weekly's
|
|
rights by persuading him not to <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ain effective counsel and to plead guilty.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Thereafter, Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> was charged with a passport violation and has
|
|
registered his own complaint, a copy of which is attached he<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>o as Exhibit
|
|
"B." Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> recently informed me that U.S. government representatives
|
|
offered him government employment and dismissal of the charges against him if
|
|
he would cease activities relative to the POW's and stay out of Southeast
|
|
<ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>. In other words, if Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> would shut up and cease his activities in
|
|
Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> everything would be all right ) for him. As usual no thought
|
|
was given to the POW's and MIA's nor their families and loved ones.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Following my <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn from <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> on June 1, 1987, Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> was charged. I set
|
|
out to investigate facts relative to the passport violation charge as well as
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> situation. During the course of my short investigation there
|
|
were several incidents which took place that were certainly blatant violations
|
|
of my rights as a U.S. citizen. Itt is my opinion that the reason these
|
|
violations took place is because I had in my possession\j\reports, documents
|
|
and tapes which accuse and support accusations that U.S. Government officials
|
|
deal in drugs and certain government employees have lied and obstructed
|
|
justice in order to convict perfectly innocent persons of criminal
|
|
wrongdoings.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I believe they have been motivated by a desire to silence myself and my
|
|
associates to keep the lid on the drug trafficking evidence we have uncovered.
|
|
Short of that, they seek to discredit us and the information we've obtained.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I traveled to <ent type='GPE'>Seattle</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, on June 27, 1987, to interview a U.S.
|
|
Customs Agent named <ent type='PERSON'>James Foley</ent>. Mr. Foley's telephone number is (206)
|
|
442)1974. His address is 1580 South 156th Street, <ent type='GPE'>Seattle</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I spoke with Inspector <ent type='PERSON'>Foley</ent> and told him I needed to locate the customs agent
|
|
who passed Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> used, which was stamped at SEA)TAC Airport by Agent
|
|
1099. Attached he<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>o as Exhibit "C" is a copy of the passport. I told him
|
|
that Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> had had several passports with him and the agent had taken him
|
|
to an interrogation room. There he told Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> he hoped he had a
|
|
telephone number they could call. Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> gave them a number and one of
|
|
the customs men left. <ent type='ORG'>Ret</ent>urning a few minutes later, he said "Okay Col.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>, you're free to go". Inspector <ent type='PERSON'>Foley</ent> told me he may know hwo the
|
|
customs agent was that finally cleared Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> through. He said that the
|
|
number stamped in the passport may or may not mean anything but he may
|
|
possibly recognize the handwriting.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The next day, June 27th, I contacted Inspector <ent type='PERSON'>Foley</ent> at his home. He told me
|
|
he had spoken with another Inspector named <ent type='PERSON'>Arthur Henning</ent>. He said he had
|
|
asked <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> if he could <ent type='PERSON'>remmeber</ent> an incident about five years ago when a
|
|
Green Be<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Colonel came through customs with several passports. Inspector
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Foley</ent> told me Inspector <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> immediately told him, "James 'Bo' <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>."
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> said he remembered the incident because of the publicity Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>
|
|
received on the POW issue shortly thereafter. <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> said he had taken Col.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> to an interview room along with another customs agent, <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Hood</ent></ent>. Col.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> had given them a telephone number whihc <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> said was to the State
|
|
Department. <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> told <ent type='PERSON'>Foley</ent> he handled the incident. He said Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hood</ent>
|
|
may have written down the telephone number <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> had given them a telephone
|
|
number which <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> said was to the State Department. <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> told <ent type='PERSON'>Foley</ent> he
|
|
handled the incident. He said Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hood</ent> may have written down the telephone
|
|
number <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> gave them in his notes and could still possibly have it. He told
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Foley</ent> the call to the State Department would have been made by a supervisor,
|
|
possibly <ent type='PERSON'>Lynne Robson</ent>, who is now dead. <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> told <ent type='PERSON'>Foley</ent> he remembered Col.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> was carrying at least three passports. He, also, said there would be a
|
|
"<ent type='ORG'>Negative Search Report</ent>" on the incident. I sought this information because
|
|
we had been led by U.S. Attorney <ent type='PERSON'>Wulfson</ent> that this type evidence should have
|
|
been sufficient to result in the dismissal of the charges against Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>
|
|
regarding the fraudulent passport. After receiving this\j\information from
|
|
me, Col. Gritz's attorney, <ent type='PERSON'>Lamond Mills</ent>, contacted <ent type='PERSON'>Wulfson</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Wulfson</ent> told
|
|
Mills he had already talked to Customs Inspector <ent type='PERSON'>Henning</ent> about the incident,
|
|
but that he wasn't dropping any charges, despite what he had said earlier.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>About that same time I was contacted by an investigative reporter named Tony
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Kimerey</ent> from <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City, <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>Kimerey</ent> told me he was in the office of
|
|
the Assistant U.S. Attorney, <ent type='PERSON'>Stephen Korotash</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Jerry Bohnen</ent>, a <ent type='ORG'>KTOK</ent> news
|
|
reporter, was there too. <ent type='ORG'>Kimerey</ent> can be reached at telephone number (404)
|
|
525)6780. <ent type='PERSON'>Jerry Bohnen</ent> can be reached at (405) 840)1948. Also present in the
|
|
office was Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Agent Tom <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>Kimerey</ent> said that <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent>
|
|
Agent Tom <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> told him, in the presence of <ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Bohnen</ent>, that he
|
|
(<ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>) had removed 9 pages from the documents that went before <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent> Judge
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Alley</ent>, before the sentencing of <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent>. The pages that <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> removed
|
|
were letters from several different Government agencies corroborating the
|
|
story that <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> was involved in the <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent> traiing program which was
|
|
sanctioned by the U.S. Government. If it were so, that the program was
|
|
sanctioned by the government, then no laws would have been broken in shipping
|
|
the C)4 by commercial air carrier. <ent type='ORG'>Kimerey</ent> also said that a U.S. Government
|
|
investigator, who has done investigations for the U.S. Attorney's Office in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City, told him he could not understand why <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> and U.S.
|
|
Attorney <ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> were being so malicious in prosecuting and railroading <ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On July 18th, I traveled to <ent type='GPE'>Vancouver</ent>, <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Columbia</ent> to find a man named
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Ahmad Rashid</ent> and his wife, Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Ahmad</ent> was <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> and Col. Gritz's
|
|
government contact in the <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent> training program. A meeting with <ent type='PERSON'>Ahmad</ent>,
|
|
<ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> and Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> was set up in August 1986 by <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent></ent>, then
|
|
Special Assistant to the Under Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary of State for Security Assistance.
|
|
Assistant U.S. Attorney <ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> have been saying all along
|
|
that there was no <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent> traiing. They claim <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> and Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> were
|
|
selling explosives ot the <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>ians. This is utterly ridiculous. I had
|
|
thought at one time that maybe they really didn't know about the <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent>
|
|
training. Maybe they were being lied to by persons in the government. But
|
|
now I find that Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> has been in contact with <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent></ent> since the
|
|
early days, even before <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> was arrested in December of 1986. <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> was
|
|
given a training schedule of the <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent> training by <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent></ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent>
|
|
admitted this to Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Upon my arrival in <ent type='GPE'>Vancouver</ent>, <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Columbia</ent>, I contacted Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Rashid,
|
|
wife of <ent type='PERSON'>Ahmad</ent>. Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> had assisted her husband in the briefing of Col.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> and <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent>. Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Ahmad</ent> were to have given <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> and
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> all of their knowledge on the <ent type='PERSON'>Mujahadeen</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent> Freedom Fighters so
|
|
that they could use this knowledge in training several different factions of
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Mujahadeen</ent> in hopes of unifying them. I was lucky to have reached Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
when I did because she was getting ready to leave <ent type='GPE'>Vancouver</ent> within a few days
|
|
to join her husband <ent type='GPE'>in\j\Montreal</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Ahmad</ent> was in <ent type='GPE'>Montreal</ent> looking for a place
|
|
for them to live.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> and I talked about her role in giving the information to <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> and
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> about the <ent type='PERSON'>Mujahadeen</ent> in August of 1986. Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> told me that she and
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Ahmad</ent> were in constant contact with <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent></ent>. She said that <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent> was
|
|
their U.S. Government contact. As a matter of fact <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent> was the one that gave
|
|
her and <ent type='PERSON'>Ahmad</ent> the money to move to <ent type='GPE'>Montreal</ent>. This evidence would provce that
|
|
this was a government)sponsored program. That being the case, <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> should
|
|
not have been convicted of the crime he was charged with. <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent> and his
|
|
associates were trying to get the <ent type='ORG'>Rashids</ent> out of <ent type='GPE'>Vancouver</ent> before Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>
|
|
or anyone tried to contact them. Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> said she also knew of <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> and
|
|
Weekly's problem. She knew <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> was in jail but she did not exactly know
|
|
why. She said she had a three way telephone conversation with <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent> and
|
|
another man from the U.S. Government some time ago. The man from the U.S.
|
|
Government was the one who suggested they move to <ent type='GPE'>Montreal</ent> away from
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Vancouver</ent>. He was also the one who suggested that <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent> give them the money to
|
|
move on so that we could not find them. Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> could not remember the name
|
|
of the U.S. Government official they had the conversation with, but I found
|
|
out later it was <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agent Tom <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent></ent> had called Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> about the same time I was visiting
|
|
MArga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>. He had no idea I had been talking to her. He told Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> he
|
|
had just heard of Weekly's being in jail. He told Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> he was no longer
|
|
working in <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent> studies or in the State Department. He told <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> that he
|
|
hadn't been there since last February. He said that if someone had contacted
|
|
him before he would have at least given <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> a copy of the <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent> training
|
|
schedule to prove <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> was working under the auspices of <ent type='ORG'>the Government</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A few days later, when <ent type='PERSON'>Bode</ent> had found out I had talked to Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Rashid, he
|
|
again called Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>. He asked Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> who <ent type='PERSON'>Lance Trimmer</ent> was. He told
|
|
Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> he had tried helping all he could. He said he had given Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>
|
|
a copy of the training schedule. In the prior converstaion he had said he may
|
|
have given him a copy. He also stated then that <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> was the third
|
|
person on the three way telephone conversation with him and the <ent type='ORG'>Rashids</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The above information are all lies told by Government employees <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>
|
|
and Assistant U.S. Attorney <ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> have lied from the beginning and they
|
|
continue to lie. My attorney in <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City, <ent type='PERSON'>Frank Miskovski</ent>, who is a very
|
|
prominent attorney in that area, told me that he has not once talked to <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent>
|
|
Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> that <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> had not lied to him.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> admitted to two reporters that he omitted several pages of documents to
|
|
be presented to a U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent> Judge in recommending a long jail term for
|
|
<ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent>. This was a clear violation of Weekly's rights. <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> was
|
|
instrumental in trying to hide\j\witnesses that could prove <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent>'s
|
|
innocence. Those witnesses could have proven that <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> was involved in a
|
|
legitimate, U.S. Governemnt)approved, training program of <ent type='PERSON'>Mujahadeen</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Afghan</ent>
|
|
Freedom Fighters. It seems very clear to me that Assistant U.S. Attorney
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> was also involved in the hiding of these documents.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I have continuously tried to determine why <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> and U.S. Attorney
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> would want so badly to put Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> and <ent type='ORG'><ent type='PERSON'>Scott</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent></ent> in jail. The
|
|
only conclusion that I have is that some persons or people higher up in the
|
|
Government are pressuring them to muzzle Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>. Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> is a proven
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>American</ent> hero, whose only goal in life is to bring home <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> Prisoners of
|
|
War left behind in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> after the <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> War. The government wants
|
|
to stop him from giving to the <ent type='PERSON'>Americna</ent> people documents and evidence that
|
|
show U.S. Government officials are now, and have been, dealing in drugs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These are acts of governmental agents involving the obstruction of justice and
|
|
illegal suppression of evidence, which would show the charges against both
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Weekly</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> to be ill)founded.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now, let me address the acts which have carried out against me.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I was arrested at the U.S./Canadian Point of Entry, <ent type='GPE'>Blaine</ent>, Washinton, on
|
|
August 13, 1987, by U.S. Customs officials. I was arrested on a warrant,
|
|
issued out of the federal district court of <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City, <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent>. There
|
|
were no charges. I was wanted as a material witness to testify before the
|
|
grand jury in <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Immediately following my arrest, I was searched and placed in a holding cell.
|
|
I was told by a Customs Agent that they were going to look in my car. Much
|
|
later, three agents came to my cell. One of them, who appeared to be in
|
|
charge, introduced himself as <ent type='PERSON'>Jim Williams</ent>. He read me my rights and asked me
|
|
a couple of questions. I would not answer his questions but told him I was
|
|
sure he had read a report that was in my bag that would answer all the
|
|
questions he had. He insinuated that what he had read was interesting. One
|
|
of the agents with him asked me if I had a number that he could call. What he
|
|
meant was, he wanted to know if I was working for some government agency. I
|
|
told him I had none. I don't believe he would have asked that had he not read
|
|
papers in my briefcase. I was then chained up with leg irons, belts and
|
|
handcuffs and taken to <ent type='GPE'>Whatcom County Jail</ent> where I was booked in,
|
|
finger)printed and mugged. I was told that <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agents would pick me up in the
|
|
morning and take me before a magistrate in <ent type='GPE'>Seattle</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The next day two <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agents, <ent type='PERSON'>Norm Prins</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Jane Heffner</ent>, picked me up for
|
|
transfer to the <ent type='GPE'>Seattle</ent> U.S. Marshall's Office. Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Prins</ent> handcuffed me
|
|
with my hands behind my back, put me in leg irons and escorted me to his
|
|
vehicle for the 1 1/2 hour drive to <ent type='GPE'>Seattle</ent>. He told me he had two of my bags
|
|
in their trunk. He also said that he had been to the Canadian Border where
|
|
they had picked up my bags from Customs. I asked where the other two were and
|
|
was told he knew nothing about them. Obviously, they had searched my car and
|
|
seized and searched my personal property.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the way in Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Prins</ent> said he'd like me to answer some personal questions
|
|
he had. He said they had nothing to do with my case because he knew nothing
|
|
about it. He said his questions had to do with POW's. If he knew nothing
|
|
about my case, he would not have known to ask me about POW's. I assume he had
|
|
read the papers in my briefcase and clothes bag. We talked about POW's and
|
|
also about my <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> Report.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When we arrived at the U.S. Marshall's Office, where I had to appear before
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'>Magistrate</ent>, my hands and arms were asleep from having to sit handcuffed
|
|
with my arms behind my back. The marks and bruises were still on my hands
|
|
from the cuffs four days later. Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Prins</ent> got my two bags out of the trunk
|
|
of his car. I noticed the center section of my clothes bag was still zipped
|
|
open. I never was allowed to look in my bags. They said they had brought
|
|
them to turn over to the U.S. Marshall's Office, but <ent type='ORG'>the Marshall</ent>'s Office
|
|
refused to accept them. They obviously argued over them for some time until
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> agents said they would take them and hold them in their office. I
|
|
asked again about my briefcase and clothes bag but was told that Customs had
|
|
kept them. I asked why and was told that they were "doing something" with
|
|
them. I asked what, and was told just "something, but I shouldn't worry about
|
|
it." I said abviously they are making copies of my diary and reports. They
|
|
said they didn't know but admitted it was possible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before appearing before the <ent type='ORG'>Magistrate</ent> one of the U.S. <ent type='PERSON'>Marshall</ent>s called the
|
|
Customs Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Williams</ent> and asked about my briefcase and camera case. I could
|
|
not hear what Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Williams</ent> was saying but when he hung up <ent type='ORG'>the Marshall</ent> told
|
|
me that <ent type='PERSON'>Williams</ent> would have my bags sent to whatever address I wanted. I told
|
|
him I wanted my bags brought to me because they also contained my credit cards
|
|
and identification which the agents had kept when they took my wallet, also I
|
|
told them they had no reason to keep them. The <ent type='PERSON'>Marshall</ent> then told me they
|
|
were "doing something with them." When I asked "what," he said he had no idea.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I was then taken to the <ent type='ORG'>Magistrate</ent> where I was admitted to a $10000 bail. I
|
|
told them I could make bail immediately if I could make a phone call. This
|
|
was approximately 4:30 p.m. The <ent type='PERSON'>Marshall</ent>s then took me from the courtroom
|
|
back up the elevator to their office. When we passed a phone I asked if I
|
|
could make that call. They said I could when I got to the office. When we
|
|
reached the office, they had me go into their little holding room and then
|
|
fooled around preparing this and that. I asked again about a call and was
|
|
told, "in a minute." It was obvious they were stalling for time since it was
|
|
close to 5:00 p.m. When I was finally allowed to call it was too late for
|
|
anything to be done. This meant I was stuck in jail for the weekend.\j\</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I was then allowed to call <ent type='ORG'>Custons</ent> Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Williams</ent>. I asked him about my
|
|
briefcase and camera bag. He said he would send them somewhere for me. I
|
|
told him I had to have them in my hands. I needed my identification and
|
|
credit cards to bail out of jail. He said there was no way to get them to me
|
|
now that the weekend was there. I told him someone could surely drop them at
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Office with my other bags. He said they couldn't do that until
|
|
Monday. I asked if it was going to take that long to make copies of my
|
|
personal diary and papers. He said they weren't doing that. I said what
|
|
about the phone numbers. He said we are just "doing something" with the bag.
|
|
I said I would like them right away. He said it was impossible and I would
|
|
get them on Monday or maybe Tuesday. They would be through with them then.
|
|
He stated he would not be there</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>personally himself next week but someone else would handle it. That was the
|
|
best he could do. I was then taken to <ent type='GPE'>Kent</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, to the <ent type='GPE'>Kent</ent>
|
|
Corrections Center. I was taken there in handcuffs and chains. I was
|
|
fingerprinted and mugged for the third time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>While in the <ent type='GPE'>Kent</ent> Corrections Center I made four written requests. The first
|
|
one was made on August 15. I requested they <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn my briefcase and personal
|
|
belongings being held by Customs immediately. This included my credit cards
|
|
and other identification. I was told they could do nothing. They said I must
|
|
contact the agency that had them, although those agencies wouldn't accept a
|
|
collect call. I wrote another request on August 16 and was told the same
|
|
thing. Copies of all four requests are attached as Exhibit "D." On August 17
|
|
they would not answer my request and on August 18 I was not allowed to make a
|
|
phone call. They did finally tell me that a U.S. <ent type='PERSON'>Marshall</ent> had brought my
|
|
identification cards from Customs on that day after I had told them I would
|
|
not leave the jail without my identification even if I was bailed out, because
|
|
it was clear they could arrest me for vagrancy.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>While in the jail there were two phone calls I made which were very important
|
|
regarding my bail. On one occasion, I was right at the point of learning a
|
|
phone number that I needed to call to have bail brought immediately, when the
|
|
conversation was cut off by whoever was monitoring the call. Several persons
|
|
called the jail with messages for me, with regard to bailing me out, but the
|
|
messages were never given to me. Finally on Tuesday afternoon, August 18, I
|
|
was allowed to bail out on a $10000 cash bond. The attorney who was
|
|
instrumental in bailing me out had to drive me to the Canadian Border at
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Blaine</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, which was more than 125 miles away in order for me to get
|
|
my briefcase and camera bag.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>All of the contents in those bags obviously had been removed. My notes and
|
|
papers were thrown back in completely out of order and it looked as though
|
|
several typewritten notes were missing. The Customs Agent, <ent type='PERSON'>Joe Rydell</ent>, stated
|
|
that I either had to sign an inventory list they had made up or he would not
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn my belongings. There was no way I could tell if every piece of paper
|
|
was there. I was never given an inventory list of what they took from me.
|
|
They kept my personal diary, papers, pictures, and identifications cards,
|
|
including credit cards, for six days and refused to <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn them. They told me
|
|
they were "doing something" with them. It was clearly an illegal search and
|
|
seizure. I was only arrested as a material witness. I have been a law
|
|
enforcement officer and understand what the term "probable cause" means.
|
|
There was no probable cause to seize my property and search it. There was no
|
|
reason to treat me like a criminal. I can understand being jailed on a
|
|
warrant. I cannot understand being handcuffed, chained, mugged and
|
|
fingerprinted on numerous occasions, being denied access to my property, and
|
|
being denied the opportunity to arrange bail. All of this was a serious
|
|
violation of my civil rights.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After I finally got released on bail I had to travel more that 200 miles to
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>rieve my personal belongings. They forced me to personally go out of the
|
|
way which took another day. It was then too late to travel to my home in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Montana</ent>. I had to go to <ent type='GPE'>California</ent> to secure my automobile and then travel to
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City where I was to appear before a Grand Jury on the <ent type='ORG'>Subpoena</ent> the
|
|
government had issued me upon my arrival. I called the U.S. Attorney's
|
|
Office and checked in as I was supposed to do. The man that I talked to about
|
|
transportation to <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City told me that I should pay my own way and turn
|
|
in a voucher on the day I appeared before the Grand Jury. I then left for
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City. I needed to find a lawyer for my appearance.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When I appeared at the U.S. Attorney's Office with my attorney, Frank

|
Miskovski in <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City, we were met by <ent type='ORG'>ATF</ent> Agent Tom <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>. Tom <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>
|
|
stated that U.S. Attorney <ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> was out of town. I asked if he was also on
|
|
vacation and <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> replied he didn't know. He told me <ent type='PERSON'>Korotash</ent> was out of town
|
|
and could not be reached. <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> said he had been trying to contact me for the
|
|
past ten days. I called him a liar. He said he was not lying. I told him I
|
|
called in twice to the U.S. Attorney's Office. <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> stated that I only called
|
|
in once. I told him I called on Monday August 24 and checked in with a woman
|
|
sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary. I also called in on August 26 and told a male I would be coming to
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City and wanted to know about travel arrangements. <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> said he only
|
|
heard of one time I called. He said that he had called my attorney several
|
|
times in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>. I called <ent type='PERSON'>Mike Jordan</ent>, my attorney in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, on
|
|
August 30 from <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent> City. He told me that <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> had called him on Friday
|
|
trying to contact me to tell me they postponed the Grand Jury Hearing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On September 1st, the day of my scheduled appearance, <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> gave me a new
|
|
subpoena for September 14. I asked if my bail would now be <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned. He said
|
|
he didn't see why not. He would check. I waited for some time before <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned and told my attorney that they were going to hold my cash bail of
|
|
$10000 until I appeared on September 14.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I left to make a phone call and then <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned with my attorney and asked for
|
|
Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>. I was told he was no longer around. My attorney asked to speak
|
|
with the U.S. Attorney Price. He was not around. This was at 11:30 a.m. We
|
|
asked to speak with any U.S. Attorney who could make a decision. We were
|
|
taken to a Chief U.S. Attorney whom I told I wanted my bail <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned or to be
|
|
put back in jail. I told him the bail I received was promised to be sent back
|
|
to the person it came from on September 1 and I had appeared as promised.
|
|
This U.S. Attorney called Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> who, just a few minutes earlier, could
|
|
not be found, and had <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> come to his office. He told <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> I was there to be
|
|
put in jail so my bail would be <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> immediately made many calls. A long time later he came out ant told my
|
|
attorney that they would either <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn my bail and place me in jail, <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn my
|
|
bail and release me on my own recognizance or schedule the hearing in the
|
|
morning. He was to call my attorney at his office. Later in the afternoon,
|
|
my attorney contacted me about 4:30 p.m. and said that <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> was obviously a
|
|
habitual liar. He had finally talked to <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> after 4:00 p.m. and <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> told
|
|
him he called 4 or 5 times but couldn't reach him. My attorney's sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary
|
|
said that <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> had called once. My attorney was not in and <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> did not call
|
|
back. My attorney called <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> back twice but could not find him. He finally
|
|
reached <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> about 4:10 p.m. and <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> told him they reset the Grand Jury
|
|
Hearing for the following morning, September 2. I appeared at 9;00 a.m. on
|
|
September 2nd before the Grand Jury. I talked about U.S. Officials dealing in
|
|
drugs., about General Khun Sa of <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent>, about a statement I made of a
|
|
complaint being filed regarding charges oif wrongdoing by <ent type='ORG'>AFT</ent> Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent>.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Halfway</ent> through the U>S> Attorney's questions, they stopped the hearing and
|
|
tol;d me there would be no more questions. It was approximately 11:00 a.m. I
|
|
was told that I was free to go and would have to <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn on Oct. 5. I believe
|
|
that is less than coincidental that Col. <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> passport violation case is
|
|
scheduled for trial in <ent type='GPE'>Las Vegas</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Nevada</ent>, on the very same date.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>My attorney and I asked that my bail be <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned along with my passport. <ent type='ORG'>AFT</ent>
|
|
Agent <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> said he saw no problem with that. He said he would clear it with
|
|
U.S. Attorney <ent type='PERSON'>Blair Watson</ent>. We waited about 45 minutes. <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> came later and
|
|
said he would have it taken care of after lunch. My Attorney called him after
|
|
lunch but, as usual, he was not around then. He talked to the U.S. Attorney
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Watson</ent> who said he didn't know about the bail and it would have to stay
|
|
whereever it was. He believed it was being held in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent> State where it
|
|
was posted. My attorney called the U.S. Attorney's office in <ent type='GPE'>Seattle</ent>,
|
|
Waashington and was tiold it had been sent to <ent type='GPE'>Oklahoma</ent>. My attorney talked
|
|
with the U.S. Attorney in <ent type='GPE'>Seattle</ent> later and was told <ent type='PERSON'>Hahn</ent> had told them that
|
|
because it took so long for them to find me he didn't think they should
|
|
release my bail. There was never <ent type='PERSON'>andy</ent> agreement to release my bail until
|
|
Sept. 14th. At this writing I still don't have it back. Since recovering my
|
|
property I have discovered that several items are missing, including typed
|
|
notes and a tape\j\of conversations with Marga<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Rashid and <ent type='PERSON'>Tony Kimerey</ent>. I
|
|
spent more than ten years of my life serving my country as a soldier. I
|
|
risked my life in combat in support of our government. I worked as a court
|
|
officer a police officer and as an investigator for a prperiod of 15 years. I
|
|
have a college degree in criminal justice. I believe in our system and have
|
|
proven my commitment by my service. I cannot tolerate nor abide the
|
|
perversion and subvertion of our system, especially by those)like me)who have
|
|
taken an oath to defend it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This complaint deals with high)level government policy makers who have
|
|
sacrificed our POW'S and MIA's, and alot more, to cover)up illigal and
|
|
reprehensible drug trafficking activies. It deals with federal Justice
|
|
Department officials who have lied, silenced witnesses, discredited genuine
|
|
patriots and heroes, obstructed justice and used their power to harass and
|
|
intimidate honorable citizens. I've heard of the alleged illigal drug
|
|
trafficking, supported by the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>, in Central <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>. Until my recent
|
|
experience I wouldn't have believed it. You are the top law enforcement
|
|
officer in <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> States. You have a duty to investigate, vigorously, the
|
|
charges raised in this complaint. Today is the 200 anniversary of our
|
|
constitution. The greatest threat to that sacred document is being mounted
|
|
today by the lairs, obstructors of justice and other slime who believe the
|
|
ends justify the means and "plausible deniability" is a defensible standard of
|
|
conduct in an open, democratic system. The people and activites, complained
|
|
of herein, threatenour very system of laws. Do yourself proud. Deal with
|
|
these complaints vigorously.. The issue of illegal drug trafficking is now
|
|
before the publis.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When it becomes apparent to the public that our POW's and MIA's have been
|
|
abandoned and our youth have been exposed to drugs to protect such an
|
|
activity, the wrath of the people will be incredible. It no longer works to
|
|
try to hide this activity, too many know of it. The tactics that have been
|
|
used to produce the silence of people like me oon this issue, are
|
|
unjustifiable. Restore my faith in my government. Do your duty, as I have
|
|
sought to do mine. And as those POW's and MIA's abandoned in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>,
|
|
have done theirs. </p>

<p>DRUG STORY HARD TO BELIEVE</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Since the earlier publication of evidence of US government officials
|
|
trafficking in drugs in SE asia, evidence has been piling up in the <ent type='ORG'>Digest</ent>
|
|
office. There is so much of it, from widely diverse sources ranging from
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Mother Jones</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>the Christic Institute</ent> on the left, to <ent type='ORG'>Reuters</ent> and US News
|
|
and World Report, to first)hand testimony from a warlord of the Golden
|
|
Triangle, that it seems that there must be a real fire somewhere under all
|
|
this smoke. Since the evidence is massive and the trail of the players
|
|
twisted, let us attempt to summarize. Opium and heroin have been imported
|
|
into the US from SE <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> in huge quantities by US and allied government
|
|
officials since the 1940s.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This activity became especially heavy from the 1960s forward. A great deal of
|
|
the money generated by this drug trade, particularly after it became monstrous
|
|
in the '60s and '70s, was apparently laundered through the <ent type='PERSON'>Nugan</ent>)<ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d Bank in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>. Upon the failure of this bank some 7 years ago, and at the same
|
|
time as the alleged suicide of one of the partners, <ent type='PERSON'>Frank Nugan</ent> (1980), it
|
|
became clear that <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> and US military officers were deeply involved in the
|
|
bank and its nefarious operations. A full)blown investigation by the
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>n government produced a 4)volume report. It showed that some $50
|
|
million in losses were suffered when the bank went down, but untold amounts of
|
|
illicit drug money were undoubtedly not accounted for at the time because the
|
|
owners of that money didn't want to draw attention to themselves. Strangely
|
|
enough, the whole affair of the <ent type='PERSON'>Nugan</ent>)<ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d failure was hushed up by our
|
|
government and many bank records were shredded by former US officials.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now to Central <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>. Cocaine from this area has apparently been imported
|
|
into the US in large quantities for years by officials of the US and allied
|
|
nations. Some of the funds from these drug sales have apparently supported
|
|
the Contra's in Central <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>, along with funds from arms sales to <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>.
|
|
Here's the mind)blower: The central players in these arms and drug deals seem
|
|
always to be the same people: <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent>, a former high <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> official,
|
|
Thomas <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent>, always Shackley's assistant, <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Secord</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ired <ent type='ORG'>Air Force</ent>
|
|
major general, and shifting cast of support players. With the exception of
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent>, these same people show up in the testimony of Gen. Khun Sa, the
|
|
recognized drug kingpin of the <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent> (<ent type='GPE'>Thailand</ent>)<ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent>)<ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Khun Sa describes the sale of huge amounts of drugs to some of these US
|
|
officials and even notes that the funds were run through <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>n banks.
|
|
Lt. Col. "Bo" <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>, who first exposed this story on a radio talkshow in
|
|
southern <ent type='GPE'>California</ent>, has continued his campaign on talkshows throughout the
|
|
United States. In almost every show, says <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>, he will get one or more
|
|
calls from <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> vets who describe how they participated or knew of drugs
|
|
being shipped either under US auspices or at a minimum with a "wink and a nod"
|
|
from officials on the scene.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We should note here that Gen. Khun Sa has offered to stop this drug traffic in
|
|
his part of the world but says that for 15 years, he can get "no interest"
|
|
from our government. In the videotaped interview with <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>, Khun Sa even
|
|
agreed to provide security for the US and/or UN inspection teams if
|
|
they\j\wanted to come in to verify his efforts. Khun Sa's offer is connected
|
|
to his request for help for his people in the form of agricultural
|
|
instruction, etc. His point is that if he stops the growing of opium, his 8
|
|
million people will need help in replacing the income that crop is generating.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To date, his offer has stirred not one iota of interest in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>.
|
|
Unbeknownst to <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent>, H. <ent type='PERSON'>Ross Perot</ent> had been working on this same story since
|
|
some time in late 1986. <ent type='PERSON'>Perot</ent> took the evidence to <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, presented it
|
|
to the Vice President, the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent>, and to the <ent type='ORG'>White House</ent>, and got no help
|
|
whatsoever. He even received a call from <ent type='PERSON'>Frank Carlucci</ent>, now head of the
|
|
National Security Council, telling him to "stop pursuing" <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent>,
|
|
whom Gen Khun Sa named as a big buyer of drugs in <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='ORG'>Armitage</ent> is now Assistant Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ary of <ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent> for International Security.
|
|
Former Chief of Special Operations for the US <ent type='ORG'>Air Force</ent> L. Fletcher Prouty
|
|
says many <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> officials knew all about the use of drugs to pay some troops in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> during WW II. One who knew was <ent type='PERSON'>Sam Wilson</ent> who ended up as head of the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Defense</ent> Intelligence Agency (<ent type='ORG'>DIA</ent>). Prouty also states that this drug trade
|
|
was the reason for the start of the <ent type='PERSON'>Nugan</ent>)<ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d Bank in <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>, and further
|
|
states that Michael <ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d (one of the partners in the bank) worked out of his
|
|
office in the <ent type='ORG'>Pentagon</ent> before he went to <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> where he met the
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Nugan</ent> brothers. Prouty, by the way, assisted Alfred McCoy in the preparation
|
|
of his monumental book The Politics of Heroin in SouthEast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent> (Harper & Row,
|
|
1972). A lawsuit filed by the leftist <ent type='ORG'>Christic Institute</ent> alleges many of the
|
|
above events, naming these and other players. <ent type='ORG'>The Institute</ent> alludes to a
|
|
"Sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> Team" that was/is running many of the arms/drug deals.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Much of the outline of this informal organization (if that's what it is) is
|
|
also fully covered in US News and World Report (8/10/87, p. 16), with only a
|
|
casual mention of the drug trade in the last paragraph. But at least it was
|
|
mentioned. An article by <ent type='ORG'>the Wall Street Journal</ent> reporter <ent type='PERSON'>Jonathan Kwitny</ent>
|
|
appears in the August)September issue of <ent type='PERSON'>Mother Jones</ent>. Both the reporter and
|
|
the magazine are leftist, to say the least. However, Kwitny's recounting of
|
|
the <ent type='PERSON'>Nugan</ent>)<ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d Bank failure was accurate so far as we can tell.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Among the names mentioned by <ent type='PERSON'>Kwitny</ent> are (brace yourself): <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent>,
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Eric von Marbod</ent> (another <ent type='ORG'>Pentagon</ent> official), 3)star US Gen. LeRoy
|
|
Manor (former chief of staff for the entire US Pacific Command), Gen. Edwin
|
|
Black (high)ranking intelligence officer and Assistant <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent> chief of staff for
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>the Pacific</ent>), Gen. <ent type='PERSON'>Earl Cocke</ent>, Jr. (former commander of the <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> Legion),
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> Colby (former <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> director), Adm. Earl "Buddy Yates, Michael <ent type='NORP'>Han</ent>d (<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>
|
|
veteran), and numerous bit)part players. Then there's the strange story of
|
|
former <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> agent <ent type='PERSON'>Edwin Wilson</ent>, currently serving a 55)year sentence in
|
|
solitary confinement for arms dealing. <ent type='PERSON'>Wilson</ent> has consistently asserted that
|
|
his own questionable activities were part of a larger pattern of corruption
|
|
and subversion among high <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Pentagon</ent> officials. According to <ent type='PERSON'>Wilson</ent>, 5
|
|
conspirators ) <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Clines</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Secord</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>von Marbod</ent>, and <ent type='PERSON'>Wilson</ent> himself ) met
|
|
sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ly in 1978, setting up a partnership to run arms, using the power of
|
|
these top bureaucrats. <ent type='PERSON'>Wilson</ent> himself put up $500000 for the operation, and
|
|
he says he has a tape recording of the whole transaction. Not only did he
|
|
lose his investment, he ended up in the dungeon."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When I saw that I was the only one among all our partners to be indicted and
|
|
convicted, I realized that I was being buried for the rest of my life in a
|
|
solitary cell so that my former partners could shut me up. I was afraid to
|
|
talk," he said. To add to this mystery, it appears clear that the <ent type='ORG'>Mafia</ent>
|
|
serves as the <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ail distribution for the drugs. <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent>, Santo
|
|
Trafficante (<ent type='ORG'>Mafia</ent> chieftain, now deceased), <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Daniel Arnold</ent>, and
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Jerry Daniels</ent> (said by Khun Sa to have taken over Armitage's drug duties) are
|
|
listed by Khun Sa as handling the enormous drug trade from the Golden
|
|
Triangle, and he says, they used <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent>n banks to launder the money. Khun
|
|
Sa also notes that Thailand's English)language newspaper <ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent> Post reported
|
|
that <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> agents were using <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent> as a transit base for the drug business
|
|
and using banks in <ent type='GPE'>Australia</ent> for the funds.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, in this strange line up of sources, it's of interest to note that the
|
|
US <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> Party newspapers, People's Daily World, and the <ent type='NORP'>communist</ent>
|
|
Guardian, have been playing up this story for months. We can attribute this
|
|
interest in our "drug problem" by the <ent type='ORG'>Reds</ent> as an attempt to divert attention
|
|
from the fact that since 1962 it has been official <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> policy to use
|
|
drugs to help being down <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> States. <ent type='GPE'>Nicaragua</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Cuba</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Bulgaria</ent>, etc.,
|
|
have all been working from an edict issued by <ent type='PERSON'>Nikita Khrushchev</ent> at a sec<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Warsaw Pact</ent> meeting in <ent type='GPE'>Moscow</ent> in 1962.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It may be only coincidence that involvement by our government officials seemed
|
|
to pick up steam at about the same time. Several aspects of this story are
|
|
appalling to us. First, we are dismayed that we find material in far)left
|
|
publications with which we agree. But even a stopped clock is right twice a
|
|
day. Second, there is an enormous amount of corroborative material being sent
|
|
to our office nearly every day. It supports the conclusion that a formal or
|
|
informal organization of high <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> and US military officers, some former, some
|
|
present, exists which has for decades been a major ) if not the major )
|
|
importer of heroin and cocaine into the US.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Third, the same players show up nearly everywhere where drugs and arms are
|
|
involved. The only place Gen. Secord's name has not appeared is in connection
|
|
with the Khun Sa story in <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent>. It's also of interest that much of this
|
|
activity occurred while Vice President <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent> was in charge of the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>.
|
|
It's strange that <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> does not seem to be interested (based on the lack of
|
|
cooperation given <ent type='PERSON'>Perot</ent> when he visited him) in stopping this drug business.
|
|
And <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> is "the top cop" appointed by President Reagan to handle this drug
|
|
problem.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The mere fact that the mass media has completely ignored this abundance of
|
|
evidence is further indication of the probability that very high members of
|
|
the Establishment are deeply involved. Only <ent type='ORG'>CBS</ent> TV in the "West 57th Street"
|
|
broadcasts have dealt with the Central <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> connection and that show ranks
|
|
at the bottom in the ratings. The <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent> connection has yet to be
|
|
looked into. We were told by a <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent> reporter for the Christian
|
|
Broadcast Network (<ent type='ORG'>CBN</ent>) that one reason the major TV networks have not touched
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> story is that lawyers for <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent> called each of them\j\and
|
|
said: "If you run the story, we'll sue". With the <ent type='PERSON'>Westmoreland</ent> case still
|
|
vividly imprinted on the minds of network executives, the threat has
|
|
apparently worked. We have heard that a major overseas network is planning a
|
|
story sometime in the next 6 months. If this story is correct in it's broad
|
|
outline ) and there is strong evidence for this ) we are looking at the worst
|
|
scandal in government corruption in US history.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is simply no other way to describe it. In brief, here is what appears
|
|
to be factual: The US government has outlawed various drugs since 1914 with
|
|
the explicit intent of driving up the price to make them more difficult to
|
|
obtain. Then this same government has for decades actually participated in
|
|
the importation of these very same drugs! The <ent type='ORG'>Mafia</ent> has served as the <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ailer
|
|
for our government. In the latter years of this decadent operation, drug
|
|
monies have allegedly been used to fund some Freedom Fighter operations,
|
|
particularly in <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> and Central <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>. It's very possible that the
|
|
recipients of this dirty money didn't know of its origins. It's even more
|
|
likely that huge amounts of money from these illicit operations stuck to the
|
|
hands of the major players. We also think it's possible, although we've seen
|
|
little evidence to support it, that there is an involvement by the big
|
|
international banks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The closest we've come to proof is in the book The Underground Empire: Where
|
|
Crime and Government Embrace, by <ent type='PERSON'>James Mills</ent> (Doubleday, $22.95). Perhaps the
|
|
most discouraging aspect of this whole grimy situation is that there is so
|
|
little interest among government officials and the mass media. It seems that
|
|
only a demand from the grass)roots, reaching some critical mass of mail, can
|
|
stir an investigation into this dirty business and bring it to a halt. Your
|
|
congressman must hear from you. You must demand action. You must demand the
|
|
major TV networks get on this story. You must demand that your newspaper
|
|
conduct its own investigation and print the results. You, dear friend, hold
|
|
the key. You, by your actions, will determine whether this practice continues
|
|
or is stopped.</p>

<p> <ent type='ORG'>THE SILENT</ent> WAR</p>

|
|
|
<p> We are engaged in a silent war. Those waging this brutal conflict have

<p>THE <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent>TH IN ARIZONA OF THE <ent type='ORG'>KEMPER</ent> MARLEY MACHINE</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I expected the sky to fall after my July article linking the activities of
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Charles Keating</ent> and General <ent type='PERSON'>Singlaub</ent>. Nothing happened. The reaction to my
|
|
September article exposing <ent type='PERSON'>Terry Burke</ent>, former top <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> as a
|
|
possible key element in the illegal narcotics network in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>, however, was
|
|
immediate and unmistakable. Within days of my FAXing this story I was served
|
|
with a court summons, a nasty death threat was left on my answering machine
|
|
and my offices were entered, my files, book cases and furniture dumped and
|
|
overturned.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The last few days there has been a 6 foot 6 inch <ent type='NORP'>Latino</ent> following myself and
|
|
an associate. He makes the top hit man for the <ent type='GPE'>Medellin</ent> cartel look like a
|
|
sissy. Since <ent type='PERSON'>Terry Burke</ent>, the former <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> station chief in <ent type='GPE'>Laos</ent> who
|
|
administered <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent> Assassination Program has been closely associated
|
|
with <ent type='PERSON'>Theodore Shackley</ent> since 1962, this revelation coming in the wake of the
|
|
unsolved <ent type='NORP'>Buddhist</ent> murders must have sent shock waves far and wide. Ted
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent> was <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent>'s number 2 man at <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> when <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> was <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> Director.
|
|
Among those in the know, Ted <ent type='ORG'>Shackley</ent> and an operative named <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Armitage</ent>
|
|
are the weakest points in the armor of <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent> and <ent type='EVENT'>the New World</ent> Order.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>More significantly, I am tempted to speculate that this revelation, coupled
|
|
with my suggestion of a probable heroin connection to the military style
|
|
execution of the 9 <ent type='NORP'>Buddhist</ent> monks, lead to the panic arrest of five innocent
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Tucson</ent> kids for the murder of the monks. Supposedly, on the basis of a tip
|
|
received Sept. 3 from a patient in a mental hospital, the deputies of Maricopa
|
|
County Sheriff, <ent type='PERSON'>Tom Agnos</ent>, arrested and charged four <ent type='NORP'>hispanic</ent> and one black
|
|
youth, all selected from the poorest neighborhoods of <ent type='GPE'>Tucson</ent>. It was apparent
|
|
from the start that this action was bogus.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>First, law enforcement alleged that these youths stole a late model Bronco and
|
|
a Blazer that were seen at <ent type='LOC'>the Temple the day</ent> of the crime. These vehicles
|
|
were never reported stolen! Where are these vehicles today? If these kids were
|
|
in fact criminal elements, wouldn't they have driven these four wheeled all
|
|
terrain vehicles across the border to <ent type='GPE'>Mexico</ent> where they would have been worth
|
|
more than in the U.S.? They could have made a quick $15000 doing this. I
|
|
visited the Temple. It is more than obvious that there was nothing of value
|
|
there.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Rapidly the case against the kids began disintegrating. One suspect was
|
|
working at a dog track during the murders and was video taped performing his
|
|
duties. He had to be released. It soon became clear that there was no
|
|
physical evidence linking the youths to the crime ))) only their confessions
|
|
)))), confessions that the <ent type='PERSON'>Dean</ent> of the Law School at <ent type='ORG'>ASU</ent> says can not be used
|
|
in court because they were so obviously coerced. It turns out that the
|
|
deputies worked on the youths for 12 hours in separate rooms with no windows
|
|
))) no food or water ))) in the midst of serious threats.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One youth was told that he would be "found in a lake with an anchor wrapped
|
|
around his neck if he did not cooperate". This precess took place not at
|
|
police headquarters but in separate rooms of a hotel. The attorney for Dante
|
|
Parker, said to be the ringleader, has submitted a list of 25 witnesses that
|
|
say the suspect never left <ent type='GPE'>Tucson</ent> the night in question.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent> ambassador "just happened to be in <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent>" for the arrests. During
|
|
one short sound byte he repeated three times that his being in <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> was
|
|
just coincidence. His praise for <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> law enforcement sounded a bit too
|
|
lavish for the circumstances. All readers can be assured that the smiling
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent> ambassador is no stranger to the politics of heroin in Southeast <ent type='LOC'>Asia</ent>.
|
|
Equally as disingenuous was the statement of the Sheriff that there was no
|
|
racism involved in the crime )))) (but only in the selection process of the
|
|
scapegoats.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When Lt. Col. James Bo <ent type='ORG'>Gritz</ent> <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned to the <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Burma</ent> in 1987
|
|
to video tape the drug overlord, General Khun Sa, naming the names of the U.S.
|
|
officials who were the general's largest customers for heroin, he was startled
|
|
to find that a two lane highway had been constructed in the 5 months since he
|
|
was last there. This highway, which went right to the general's front door,
|
|
was built by the <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent> government using <ent type='GPE'>Rome</ent> plows left over from the <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>
|
|
war. Coming out, as the Colonel went in, were 10 ton trucks, covered and
|
|
loaded, with the <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent> insignia on the side. There is only one product
|
|
that comes out of the <ent type='ORG'>Golden Triangle</ent> )))) heroin! It is a certainty that the
|
|
smiling <ent type='NORP'>Thai</ent> ambassador has an accounting of every truck.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The importance of the discovery of this heroin highway lies in the fact that
|
|
what had trickled out on the backs of horses and mules now flows out in 10 ton
|
|
trucks. This highway, which is easily verifiable with satellite imaging, is
|
|
to this day denied by our government. When Col. Gritz's team lead Tom
|
|
Jerrills of <ent type='ORG'>CBS</ent> 20\20 in to meet with Khun Sa, none of the trucks seen in the
|
|
Colonel's video tapes were seen by <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> viewers. There was even phoney
|
|
footage of <ent type='ORG'>Jarrells</ent> riding on a mule and no shot of the <ent type='ORG'>Toyota</ent> pick)up that
|
|
actually carried him there.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It so happens that the people associated with the Temple think there was a
|
|
narcotics connection. <ent type='PERSON'>Fong Miller</ent> lost both her mother and daughter in the
|
|
massacre. When I told her that I thought <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent>\<ent type='GPE'>Bangkok</ent> heroin
|
|
connection factored into the slayings, her words were, "That is what we think
|
|
also." Absolutely no speculation to this effect has surfaced in newspapers
|
|
here.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Last year Phoenicians were shocked to find that the state government had
|
|
committed to a $30 million toxic waste incinerator which was well under
|
|
construction by the time anyone learned of it. The selected management
|
|
company, E<ent type='ORG'>NSC</ent>O, had an abysmal safety record everywhere they had existed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to satisfy the public hearing requirement, a remote hearing site
|
|
located 40 miles outside <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> was selected. The deputies of <ent type='PERSON'>Tom Agnos</ent> were
|
|
issued stun guns and pictures of <ent type='ORG'>GREENPEACE</ent> toxics expert, <ent type='PERSON'>Brad Angel</ent>, and
|
|
instructed to respond with "maximum force" to "environmental terrorism".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to further stifle public outcry, the high school auditorium was
|
|
partitioned so that only 25% was useable. Frictions developed when most of
|
|
the 400 people who showed up were told to go home there was not enough room
|
|
for them. TV viewers that night were horrified at the spectacle of a 65 year
|
|
old lady being repeatedly zapped by the deputies with the stun guns. She was
|
|
not even one of the environmentalists. This incident coupled with the arrests
|
|
of the innocent <ent type='GPE'>Tucson</ent> kids would insure a speedy trip down the toilet for
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Agnos</ent> and his top confederates in any other municipality in the nation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The previous sheriff distinguished himself by placing an ad in the classified
|
|
section of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC for truck drivers, then busting two
|
|
respondents for trucking cargos arranged by the sheriff. He also had one of
|
|
his informers fly a plane load of marijuana in from <ent type='GPE'>Mexico</ent> so that he could
|
|
have members of the press available at the landing site to witness the arrest
|
|
of those meeting the plane. He survived both incidents. Hopefully <ent type='PERSON'>Agnos</ent> will
|
|
not be as lucky.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The reader is probably asking how could such things happen. For the answer to
|
|
this we must do what Col. Fletcher Prouty advises, "Go back and examine the
|
|
beginnings." <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> is <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>Kemper</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent></ent> territory. <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>Kemper</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent></ent> was the big
|
|
man in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 1948 fifty two employees of <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>Kemper</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent></ent>'s <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> liquor monopoly, UNITED
|
|
LIQUOR, went to prison on federal liquor violations, including <ent type='PERSON'>Jim Hensley</ent>,
|
|
the father)in)law of Senator <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> McCain. <ent type='ORG'>Hensley</ent> was the General Manager of
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>UNITED LIQUOR</ent>. On the basis of this, some people might feel <ent type='ORG'>UNITED LIQUOR</ent>
|
|
could be described as organized crime. The slick attorney who kept <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> out
|
|
of this trial and out of prison and sent McCain's father)in)law to prison in
|
|
his place was <ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> Rendquist )))) currently the Chief Justice of the U.S.
|
|
Supreme <ent type='ORG'>Court</ent>!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It was the judgement of this court that <ent type='PERSON'>Jim Hensley</ent> would be prohibited from
|
|
working in the liquor industry from then on. Of course such judgments meant
|
|
nothing to <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent>. After <ent type='PERSON'>Jim Hensley</ent> got out of prison, <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> arranged a
|
|
BUDWIESSER distributorship for <ent type='ORG'>Hensley</ent> which is now in the hands of Senator
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> McCain and reported to be worth $200 million.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The best source for an introduction to the environment of total corruption
|
|
which exists in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> is <ent type='ORG'>THE ARIZONA</ent> PROJECT: HOW A TEAM OF INVESTIGATIVE
|
|
RE<ent type='ORG'>PORTERS</ent> GOT REVENGE ON <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent>DLINE. This expose was written by Michael
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Wendland</ent> who was part of the group called INVESTIGATIVE RE<ent type='ORG'>PORTERS</ent> AND EDITORS
|
|
that came to <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> in the aftermath of the car bombing of the ARIZONA
|
|
REPUBLIC's investigative reporter, <ent type='PERSON'>Don Bolles</ent>. It was the conclusion of this
|
|
group that <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent>, by far the wealthiest man in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>, was behind this
|
|
murder.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are many reasons to believe that <ent type='PERSON'>Don Bolles</ent> was not killed because he
|
|
was a white knight. When <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent> testified before the <ent type='ORG'>HOUSE</ent> ORGANIZED CRIME
|
|
COMMITTEE, he required immunity. Why? The best clue to his death lies in his
|
|
last words ))) "<ent type='PERSON'>Adamson</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>EMPRISE</ent> the <ent type='ORG'>mafia</ent>". <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Adamson</ent> was the hit man
|
|
contracted by the establishment attorney, <ent type='PERSON'>Neal Roberts</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>EMPRISE</ent> was a dog
|
|
track interest which had changed its name from <ent type='ORG'>SPORTSERVICE</ent>. There existed
|
|
the <ent type='GPE'>Maricopa County</ent> Superior <ent type='ORG'>Court</ent> Case # C)286651 <ent type='ORG'>SPORTSERVICE</ent> v. JARVIS,
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>STEIGER</ent> which was available to anyone interested in the motive for this crime.
|
|
Exhibits in this case allege that <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent>, who was visibly living beyond his
|
|
means, was wheeling and dealing with the gangsters. Today the <ent type='ORG'>EMPRISE</ent>
|
|
CORPORATION continues to flourish in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> under the name DELAWARE NORTH.
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> McCain has been observed visiting the principals.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A good companion reader to <ent type='ORG'>the ARIZONA PROJECT</ent> is THE LAST RAMPAGE OF GARY
|
|
TYSON. Written by a journalism professor from the UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, this
|
|
book documents how top authorities in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> let <ent type='PERSON'>Gary Tyson</ent> escape from
|
|
prison after he succeeded in carrying out a contract hit on another inmate,
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Tony Sera</ent>. <ent type='GPE'>Sera</ent> was giving affidavits regarding the land fraud of <ent type='PERSON'>Ned Warren</ent>.
|
|
It is the thesis of this book that this contract was given by establishment
|
|
attorney, <ent type='PERSON'>Neal Roberts</ent>, who was described in <ent type='ORG'>the ARIZONA PROJECT</ent> as the murder
|
|
broker in the <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent> killing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>According to intelligence sources of <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent> police, who prepared a
|
|
background profile of <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>Kemper</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent></ent> the week following the <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent> murder,
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> was at one time directly connected to the remnants of the old Al Capone
|
|
mob, operating the TRANS<ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent> WIRE SERVICE. This betting service was
|
|
originally established in 1941 for Capone's heirs by <ent type='PERSON'>Gus Greenbaum</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Greenbaum</ent>
|
|
was a <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> socialite seen at all the society balls in <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent>, usually in
|
|
the company of <ent type='ORG'>the Bar</ent>ry Goldwaters and <ent type='PERSON'>Harry Rosenzweigs</ent>. In 1958 <ent type='PERSON'>Greenbaum</ent>
|
|
and his wife were found dead in their bed )))) their throats cut. This
|
|
inaugurated a series of grisly gangland)style slayings.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> died, July 1990, he owned 5 square miles of <ent type='GPE'>Carefree</ent> ))) the
|
|
highest priced real estate in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>. The smallest lot in this most
|
|
exclusive township is zoned for one acre. By some coincidence the Tax
|
|
Accessors made the same mistake evaluating Marley's properties as he did on
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Charlie Keating</ent>'s properties. This oversight was saving <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> a million
|
|
dollars a year. Of course the official investigation showed no wrongdoing in
|
|
either case.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For the last 40 years <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> bankrolled <ent type='PERSON'>Harry Rosenzweig</ent> who doled out
|
|
Marley's great wealth to a slate of <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> candidates who were almost
|
|
universally successful in obtaining high political office. <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> was able to
|
|
control <ent type='ORG'>the Democratic party</ent> as well. Every congressman and every senator in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> currently owes his position to the <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> machine.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Dennis <ent type='PERSON'>DeConcini</ent> was facing a tough reelection in 1990, seeing as how he was
|
|
nailed creaming off a cool $5 million with his family on an <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> land deal
|
|
dependent on the Senator's inside senatorial knowledge. The last thing in the
|
|
world the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>s wanted was to loose DeConcini's seniority. Before any
|
|
other <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>s could announce, the party hierarchy formally announced their
|
|
support for the weakest candidate that one could imagine. The opponent, Keith
|
|
DeGreen, had ties to the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> Party that were so weak he had not even
|
|
voted in the last 2 elections.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>At one point <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> served as Chairman of <ent type='ORG'>the Board</ent> of the VALLEY NATIONAL
|
|
BANK. When <ent type='PERSON'>Bugsy Siegel</ent>, on instructions from <ent type='ORG'>Meyer Lansky</ent>, built the
|
|
FLAMINGO CLUB, <ent type='GPE'>Las Vegas</ent>'s first casino, the money was borrowed from the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>VALLEY NATIONAL BANK</ent>. Involvements in narcotics trafficking on the part of
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>VALLEY NATIONAL BANK</ent> are hinted in <ent type='ORG'>the ARIZONA PROJECT</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Al <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent>, who served as Kemper's public relations man for 25 years, is one
|
|
of the richest sources for background on the liquor magnate. The <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent>
|
|
murder was part of a package deal that was to include a hit on <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent>.
|
|
According to <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent>, the <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> machine placed the highest priority on
|
|
placing lawyers in all the key state and municipal positions. Former Attorney

General <ent type='PERSON'>Bob Corbin</ent>, who accepted a $55000 campaign contribution from Charles
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Keating</ent> in a race where he was unopposed, worked for <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> (in the insurance
|
|
industry) in the 50s as did the preceding 2 AGs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> placed his people in the top positions of <ent type='ORG'>the Department</ent> of Public
|
|
Safety. The county prosecutor was also key to him. <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent> claims that
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> recruited <ent type='PERSON'>Eugene Pullium</ent> to come to <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> to start the ARIZONA
|
|
REPUBLIC/<ent type='GPE'>PHOENIX</ent> <ent type='ORG'>GAZZETT</ent>, the monopoly newspaper here which has succeeded in
|
|
covering up these matters. Pullium then started the <ent type='GPE'>PHOENIX</ent> 40 a group of the
|
|
largest business interests who virtually run the state. <ent type='PERSON'>Eugene Pullium</ent> is the
|
|
grandfather of <ent type='PERSON'>Dan Quayle</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>The ARIZONA REPUBLIC</ent>/<ent type='GPE'>PHOENIX</ent> <ent type='ORG'>GAZZETT</ent> together with

the IN<ent type='ORG'>DIA</ent>NAPOLIS STAR are reported to be worth $5 billion. <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent> claims
|
|
that <ent type='PERSON'>Ned Warren</ent>, responsible for half a billion dollars of land fraud in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>, was another agent of <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>Kemper</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent></ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Marley's mentor was <ent type='PERSON'>Sam Bronfman</ent>, the progenitor of the SEAGRAMS empire. When
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Bronfman</ent> visited <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> he came in the company of Al Capone.
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent> claims that <ent type='PERSON'>Jack Ruby</ent>, assassin of Lee <ent type='PERSON'>Harvey</ent> Oswald, was also on the
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Bronfman</ent> payroll.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Perhaps by now readers are beginning to understand how a phenomena like
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Charles Keating</ent> could arise in such a political climate. It is not necessary
|
|
to mention how lavishly <ent type='PERSON'>Keating</ent> paid off the local politicians. <ent type='PERSON'>DeConcini</ent>
|
|
$72000 ))) McCain $112000 ))) a shopping center deal with McCain's wife that
|
|
netted almost a half million in 6 months ))) a $200 million dollar unsecured
|
|
load to DeConcini's campaign manager, <ent type='PERSON'>Ron Ober</ent>. This only scratches the
|
|
surface. All cannot be told in so short an article. With this background let
|
|
us examine more in more detail.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is a certain law firm in <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> which includes as principals two former
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> U.S. Attorneys, <ent type='PERSON'>Melvin Mcdonald</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Mike Hawkins</ent>. One was appointed
|
|
by <ent type='NORP'>Democrats</ent> and the other by <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>s )) giving them a lock on political
|
|
leverage here. Like <ent type='PERSON'>Robert Peloquin</ent>, former head of the Organized Crime
|
|
Strike Force of the Justice Department, they learned quickly that they could
|
|
make 20 times as much money working for the criminals. <ent type='ORG'>Melvin</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>McDonald</ent> was
|
|
chief council for <ent type='PERSON'>Charles Keating</ent>. Whenever anything of particularly bad odor
|
|
needed to happen in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> one of these slimebags was called in.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A case in point was the scandal surrounding the sale of <ent type='ORG'>the BIG BOQUEUS RANCH</ent>
|
|
to the <ent type='NORP'>Navajo</ent> nation. This matter was so stinky it called for the diligence
|
|
of <ent type='PERSON'>Mike Hawkins</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Melvin Mcdonald</ent>. It so happened that back in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>
|
|
D.C. Dennis <ent type='PERSON'>DeConcini</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> McCain were getting heat from their colleagues
|
|
about all the swindles of the indian lands. As a matter of fact McCain and
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>DeConcini</ent> were leading the charge of these swindlers. Keating's acquisition
|
|
of his <ent type='ORG'>Estrella</ent> property, in a round about way, involved a swindle of indian
|
|
lands.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The definition of a politician: Anyone, who, when being tared and feathered
|
|
and ridden out of town on a rail can make it appear as if they are leading a
|
|
parade. In true fashion, McCain and <ent type='PERSON'>DeConcini</ent>, got themselves appointed
|
|
co)chairman of a <ent type='ORG'>senate</ent> investigative committee to delve into these crimes
|
|
against the indians. Enter <ent type='PERSON'>McDonald</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Hawkins</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The BIG BOQUEUS RANCH was purchased in the mourning by developers <ent type='PERSON'>Bud Brown</ent>
|
|
and his partner for $19 million and sold that afternoon for $27 million to
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Tribal</ent> Chief Peter <ent type='PERSON'>McDonald</ent> (no relation) on behalf of the <ent type='NORP'>Navajo</ent> nation. Bud
|
|
Brown and his partner made a quick $8 million. In order to explore this
|
|
corruption, McCain and <ent type='PERSON'>DeConcini</ent> granted immunity to <ent type='PERSON'>Bud Brown</ent> and his partner
|
|
so that they could give testimony about the $10000 and the <ent type='ORG'>BMW</ent> that they gave
|
|
as a bribe to the corrupt indian chief. Meanwhile the ARIZONA REPUBLIC
|
|
repeatedly hammered the indian chief day after day while not mentioning Bud
|
|
Brown. The indian chief was removed from office. The Pulitzer Prize winning
|
|
journalist, <ent type='PERSON'>Tom Fitzpatric</ent>, in a Feb. 15, 1989 NEW <ent type='ORG'>TIME</ent>S article called this
|
|
"the best real estate deal between white men and red men since the purchase of
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Manhattan</ent>."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Another example is <ent type='ORG'>the Bar</ent>tel Cocaine case. Dr. <ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Bartel</ent> was caught
|
|
with 81 pounds of cocaine after police observed him meeting with <ent type='PERSON'>Stan Akers</ent>,
|
|
Jr., a notorious cocaine broker. <ent type='PERSON'>Akers</ent> was the son of the former <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>
|
|
Speaker of <ent type='ORG'>the House</ent> of Representatives. Here is an example of how the
|
|
narcotics industry is politically protected in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Akers</ent> was previously
|
|
convicted of possession of 6 pounds of cocaine and sentenced to 5 years in
|
|
prison. After being sentenced, <ent type='PERSON'>Akers</ent> told the D.A. he would testify about the
|
|
unsolved drug murder of Greg Case which he had witnessed. On <ent type='PERSON'>Akers</ent>' testimony
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Paul Brookover</ent> was sent to prison and <ent type='PERSON'>Akers</ent> walked free. Knowledgeable people
|
|
close to this case believe <ent type='PERSON'>Akers</ent> ordered the hit.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The police found $3 million in bonds in the safe deposit box of Dr. <ent type='ORG'>Bartel</ent>.
|
|
Bartel's father)in)law, Al <ent type='PERSON'>Burke</ent>, came forward to claim that the $3 million
|
|
was his and that his son)in)law was only keeping it safe for him. Naturally
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Burke</ent> <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ained former U.S. Attorney, <ent type='PERSON'>Mike Hawkins</ent>, to represent him in this
|
|
matter and in a few days the U.S. Attorney's office "<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned" the bonds.
|
|
Anyone having to establish their financial affairs for the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> over a 20 year
|
|
period knows that this can not be done in a few days.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Like the saber toothed tiger, the <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>Kemper</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent></ent> machine will die of its own
|
|
success. Having harnessed all of society's watch dogs on its tightly held
|
|
leash there remains no restraint upon the unbounded greed of its members.
|
|
Eventually it will be beyond the powers of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC to keep
|
|
matters covered up. The largess of <ent type='PERSON'>Charles Keating</ent> pushed greed past the
|
|
point of no <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urn. This accelerating stealing contest can have only one
|
|
conclusion. Some day soon the voters of <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> will take possession of the
|
|
government here. They came very close to doing this with Governor Ev Mecham.</p>

|
|
<p>THE <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent>TH OF THE <ent type='ORG'>KEMPER</ent> MARLEY MACHINE</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 1948 fifty two employees of <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>Kemper</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent></ent>'s <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> liquor monopoly, UNITED
|
|
LIQUOR, went to prison on federal liquor violations, including <ent type='PERSON'>Jim Hensley</ent>,
|
|
the father)in)law of Senator <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> McCain. <ent type='ORG'>Hensley</ent> was the general manager of
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>UNITED LIQUOR</ent>. On the basis of this some people might feel <ent type='ORG'>UNITED LIQUOR</ent>
|
|
could be described as organized crime. The slick attorney who kept <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> out
|
|
of this trial and sent McCain's father)in)law to prison in his place was
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> Rendquist )))) currently the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme <ent type='ORG'>Court</ent>!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It was the judgement of the court that <ent type='PERSON'>Jim Hensley</ent> would be prohibited from
|
|
working in the liquor industry ever again. Of course such judgments meant
|
|
nothing to <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent>. When <ent type='PERSON'>Jim Hensley</ent> got out of prison <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> arranged a
|
|
BUDWIESSER distributorship for <ent type='ORG'>Hensley</ent> which is now in the hands of <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent>
|
|
McCain and reported to be worth $200 million.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The best source for an introduction to the environment of total corruption in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> is <ent type='ORG'>THE ARIZONA</ent> PROJECT: HOW A TEAM OF INVESTIGATIVE RE<ent type='ORG'>PORTERS</ent> GOT
|
|
REVENGE ON <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent>DLINE, a book written by <ent type='PERSON'>Michael Wendland</ent>. <ent type='GPE'>Wendland</ent> was part of
|
|
the group called INVESTIGATIVE RE<ent type='ORG'>PORTERS</ent> AND EDITORS who came to <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> in
|
|
the wake of the car bombing of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC's investigative reporter,
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Don Bolles</ent>. It was the conclusion of this group that <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent>, by far the
|
|
wealthiest man in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>, was behind this murder.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are many reasons to believe that <ent type='PERSON'>Don Bolles</ent> was not killed because he
|
|
was a white knight. When <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent> testified before the <ent type='ORG'>HOUSE</ent> ORGANIZED CRIME
|
|
COMMITTEE he required immunity. Why? The best clue to his death lies in his
|
|
last words ))) "<ent type='PERSON'>Adamson</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>EMPRISE</ent> the <ent type='ORG'>mafia</ent>". <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Adamson</ent> was the hit man
|
|
arranged by the establishment attorney, <ent type='PERSON'>Neal Roberts</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>EMPRISE</ent> was a dog track
|
|
interest which had changed its name from <ent type='ORG'>SPORTSERVICE</ent>. There was a court case
|
|
#xxxxxx <ent type='ORG'>SPORTSERVICE</ent> V JARVIS <ent type='PERSON'>STIEGER</ent> available to anyone interested in the
|
|
motive which contained all the plausible reasons for this hit. Exhibits in
|
|
this case aligadge that <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent>, who was visibly living beyond his means, was
|
|
wheeling and dealing with the gangsters.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A good companion reader to this is THE LAST RAMPAGE OF <ent type='PERSON'>GARY TYSON</ent>. Written by
|
|
a journalism professor from the UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, this book documents how
|
|
authorities here let <ent type='PERSON'>Tyson</ent> escape from prison after he succeeded in carrying
|
|
out a contract on another inmate, <ent type='PERSON'>Tony Sera</ent>, who was giving affidavits
|
|
regarding the land fraud of <ent type='PERSON'>Ned Warren</ent>. It is the thesis of this book that
|
|
this contract was given by establishment attorney, <ent type='PERSON'>Neal Roberts</ent>, who was
|
|
described in <ent type='ORG'>the ARIZONA PROJECT</ent> as the murder broker in the <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent> killing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>According to intelligence sources of <ent type='ORG'>the Phoenix</ent> police, who prepared a
|
|
background profile of <ent type='ORG'><ent type='ORG'>Kemper</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent></ent> the week followingT h) Tthe <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent> murder,
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> was at one time directly connected to the remnants of the old Al Capone
|
|
mob, operating the TRANS<ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent> WIRE SERVICE. This betting service was
|
|
originally established in 1941 for Capone's heirs by <ent type='PERSON'>Gus Greenbaum</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Greenbaum</ent>
|
|
was a <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> socialite seen at all the society balls in <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent>, usually in
|
|
the company of <ent type='ORG'>the Bar</ent>ry Goldwaters and <ent type='PERSON'>Harry Rosenzweigs</ent>. In 1958 <ent type='PERSON'>Greenbaum</ent>
|
|
and his wife were found dead in their bed )))) their throats cut. This
|
|
inaugurated a series of grisly gangland)style slayings here.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> died July 1990 his wealth was considered to be second only to Fife
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Symington</ent> who was a new comer to <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> owned 5 square miles of
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Carefree</ent> ))) the highest priced real estate in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>. The smallest lot in
|
|
this most exclusive township is zoned for one acre. By some coincidence the
|
|
Tax Accessors made the same mistakes evaluating Marley's properties as he did
|
|
on <ent type='PERSON'>Charlie Keating</ent>'s properties. This oversight was saving <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> a million
|
|
dollars a year. Of course the official investigation showed no wrongdoing in
|
|
either case.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For the last 40 years <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> bankrolled <ent type='PERSON'>Harry Rosenzweig</ent> who doled out
|
|
Marley's great wealth to a slate of <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> candidates who were almost
|
|
universally successful in obtaining high political office. <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> was able to
|
|
control <ent type='ORG'>the Democratic party</ent> as well. Every congressman and every senator in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> currently owes his position to the <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> machine. Dennis <ent type='PERSON'>DeConcini</ent>
|
|
was facing a tough reelection in 1990 seeing as how he was nailed creaming off
|
|
a cool $5 million with his family on a land deal dependent on the Senator's
|
|
inside senatorial knowledge. The last thing in the world the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>s
|
|
wanted was to loose DeConcini's seniority. Before any other <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>s could
|
|
announce the party hierarchy formally announced their support for the weakest
|
|
candidate that one could imagine. Keith DeGreen had ties to the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>
|
|
party that were so weak he had not even voted in the last 2 election ))) and
|
|
this was a <ent type='ORG'>senate</ent> race!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>At one point <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> served as Chairman of <ent type='ORG'>the Board</ent> of the VALLEY NATIONAL
|
|
BANK. When <ent type='PERSON'>Bugsy Siegel</ent>, on instructions from <ent type='ORG'>Meyer Lansky</ent>, built the
|
|
FLAMINGO CLUB, <ent type='GPE'>Las Vegas</ent>'s first casino, the money was borrowed from the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>VALLEY NATIONAL BANK</ent> (<ent type='ORG'>VNB</ent>). Involvements in narcotics trafficking on the part
|
|
of <ent type='ORG'>VNB</ent> are hinted in <ent type='ORG'>the ARIZONA PROJECT</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Al <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent>, who served as Kemper's public relations man for 20 years is one
|
|
of the richest sources for background on the liquor magnate. The <ent type='GPE'>Bolles</ent>
|
|
murder was part of a package deal that was to include a hit on <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent>.
|
|
According to <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent>, the <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> machine placed the highest priority on
|
|
placing lawyers in all the key state and municipal positions. Former Attorney
|
|
General <ent type='PERSON'>Bob Corbin</ent>, who accepted a $55000 campaign contribution from Charles
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Keating</ent> in a race where he was unopposed, worked for <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> in the insurance
|
|
industry in the 50s.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> placed his people in the top positions of <ent type='ORG'>the Department</ent>T h) Tof Public
|
|
Safety. The county prosecutor was also key to him. <ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent> claims that
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> recruited <ent type='PERSON'>Eugene Pullium</ent> to come to <ent type='GPE'>Phoenix</ent> to start the ARIZONA
|
|
REPUBLIC/<ent type='GPE'>PHOENIX</ent> <ent type='ORG'>GAZZETT</ent>, the monopoly newspaper here which has succeeded in
|
|
covering up these matters. Pullium then started the <ent type='GPE'>PHOENIX</ent> 40 a group of the
|
|
largest business interests who virtually run the state. <ent type='PERSON'>Eugene Pullium</ent> is the
|
|
grandfather of <ent type='PERSON'>Dan Quayle</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Dan Quayle</ent> grew up in Paradise <ent type='LOC'>Valley</ent> next door to
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Robert Welsh</ent>, the founder of the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY. The ARIZONA
|
|
REPUBLIC/<ent type='GPE'>PHOENIX</ent> together with the IN<ent type='ORG'>DIA</ent>NAPOLIS STAR are reported to be worth
|
|
$5 billion.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Marley's mentor was <ent type='PERSON'>Sam Braufman</ent>, the progenitor of the SEAGRAMS empire. When
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Braufman</ent> visited <ent type='PERSON'>Marley</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent> he came in the company of Al Capone.
|

<ent type='PERSON'>Lizanetz</ent> claims that <ent type='PERSON'>Jack Ruby</ent>, assassin of Lee <ent type='PERSON'>Harvey</ent> Oswald, was also on the

|
|
|
|
<p>Perhaps by now readers are beginning to understand how a phenomena like
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Charles Keating</ent> could arise in such a climate. I don't need to mention how
|
|
lavishly <ent type='PERSON'>Keating</ent> paid off the local politicians here. <ent type='PERSON'>DeConcini</ent> $72000.
|
|
McCain $112000. A shopping center deal with McCain's wife that netted almost
|
|
a half million in 6 months. A $200 million dollar unsecured load to
|
|
DeConcini's campaign manager, <ent type='PERSON'>Ron Ober</ent>. This only scratches the surface. All
|
|
cannot be told is so short an article. With this as background let me now
|
|
provide some detail.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is a certain law firm which includes as principals two former <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>
|
|
U.S. Attorneys, <ent type='PERSON'>Melvin Mcdonald</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Mike Hawkins</ent>. One man was appointed by
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>Democrats</ent> and the other by <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>s giving them a lock on political
|
|
leverage here. Like <ent type='PERSON'>Robert Peloquin</ent>, former head of the Organized Crime
|
|
Strike Force of the Justice Department they learned that they could make 20
|
|
times as much money working for the criminals. <ent type='ORG'>Melvin</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>McDonald</ent> was the chief

|
|
|
|
<p>The police found $3 million in bonds in the safe deposit box of Dr. <ent type='ORG'>Bartel</ent>.
|
|
Bartel's father)in)law, Al <ent type='PERSON'>Burke</ent>, came forward to claim that the $3 million
|
|
was his and that his son)in)law was only keeping it safe for him. Naturally
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Burke</ent> <ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>ained former U.S. Attorney, <ent type='PERSON'>Mike Hawkins</ent> to represent him in this
|
|
matter and in a few days the U.S. Attorney's office "<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent>urned" the bonds.
|
|
Anyone having to establish their financial affairs for the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> over a 20 year
|
|
period knows that this can not be done in a few days.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I spoke with <ent type='PERSON'>Jim Lacey</ent>, Assistant U.S. Attorney responsible for all
|
|
prosecutions of large narcotics cases in <ent type='GPE'>Arizona</ent>. He admitted the
|
|
irregularities of the <ent type='GPE'>AMERICA</ent> WEST pilots case and the $300 million dollars
|
|
LAGUANA <ent type='ORG'>ARMY</ent> AIR FORCE BASE cocaine incident. He expressed his reg<ent type='ORG'>ret</ent> that
|
|
the statute of limitations had run out. Checking the dates I find that there
|
|
is still 8 weeks before these cases are dead. If the U.S. Attorney's office
|
|
will not respond I propose empaneling a Citizen's Investigative <ent type='ORG'>Committee</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A good example</p>

<p> <ent type='ORG'>THE SILENT</ent> WAR</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> We are engaged in a silent war. Those waging this brutal conflict have
|
|
not the decency to inform their victims ))) who include ourselves and
|
|
almost everyone we know. Their standard bearers include <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent> and
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Rockefeller</ent>. As the high priced professional liars in the mass
|
|
media assure us all is well, the common people of the world are being
|
|
crushed ))) like foot soldiers over run by a panzer division.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> And yet, the only real power of these perpetrators derives only from this
|
|
force fed ignorance. Apart from the power to keep us fighting each
|
|
other, the <ent type='ORG'>Monopolists</ent> have no power. If a critical mass of people can
|
|
learn the information contained herein, and what is more important, the
|
|
sources of this information, a global reign of terror will end.</p>
