(QUOTE)

The death of a journalist in West Virginia, plus the jailing of an
alleged CIA computer consultant in Washington State may be elements of
a much wider scandal that could have serious implications.
What started out as an investigation of an apparent case of pirated
software has grown to be a project involving hundreds of journalists
all over the world.

The dead journalist, Joseph Daniel 'Danny' Casolaro was found dead
August 10th in a motel room in West Virginia. His wrists were slashed
seven times on each wrist and a suicide note was found nearby. The
only manuscript of his book, with accompanying notes, was missing.
The book, provisionally titled 'The Octopus', was meant to be an
explosive expose of misdeeds by the Justice Department under the
Reagan administration. Time Magazine also reported that Casolaro's
research centered on gambling and attempted arms deals at the Cabazon
reservation near Indio,California.

Indeed, the scope of Casolaro's investigation was so large that any
one of a large number of areas of research could have been the trigger
for a possible hit.
While authorities declared his death a suicide, his relatives
definitely stated that Casolaro's mental state was sound, indeed
upbeat, after the completion of his book.

Casolaro started his work nearly two years before, investigating the
bankrupting of a small computer software company called Inslaw,
allegedly by the U.S. Justice Department.
INSLAW, a company headed by Bill and Nancy Hamilton of Washington
D.C., had developed a package known as PROMIS - short for Prosecutor's
Management Information System - to act as a case management tool for
the Justice Department's unwieldy work load.
Inslaw President Bill Hamilton has claimed that Ed Meese associate
Earl Brian was given control of pirated versions of the PROMIS
software by Meese to sell back to different U.S. government agencies
for great profit.

Two courts have so far agreed with Hamilton, awarding an 8 million
dollar judgment, but a higher court of appeal has quashed the award
and the verdict, declaring that it was not the jurisdiction of the
lower courts. As of October 9, the case has moved into the realm of
the Supreme Court.
Earl Brian owns United Press International (UPI) and Financial News
Network (FNN).

According to a Washington man, who claims to have modified the cobol-
based software for the CIA and other intelligence agencies, the
software was a reward for Earl Brian's role in arranging the so-called
'October Surprise' gambit, the alleged conspiracy to withhold the
American hostages in Iran until after the 1980 election which saw
Carter removed from power. The 'October Surprise' scandal has taken
some time to emerge.

In a Paris meeting, President Bush is alleged to have met with Ali
Akabar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the speaker of the Iranian Parliament,
Mohammed Ali Rajai, the future President of Iran and Manucher
Ghorbanifar, an Iranian arms dealer with connections to Mossad,
according to Navy Captain Gunther Russbacher who claims to have flown
Bush, William Casey -- the CIA chief -- and Donald Gregg, a CIA
operative to that location. Russbacher, who made these allegations in
May is now in jail on Terminal Island, convicted on the charge of
impersonating a U.S. Attorney.

The Washington man is Michael Riconosciuto who is now waiting for a
trial in a Washington jail on conspiracy to sell drugs charges,
charges which Riconosciuto claims are manufactured. Indeed, the charge
made against Riconosciuto were made one week after Riconosciuto
authored and signed an affidavit describing his role in modifying the
pirated software.
The affidavit also claimed that he (Michael Riconosciuto), had been
contacted by phone and threatened by Peter Videnieks - a Justice
Department employee and Customs official who Riconosciuto alleged had
intelligence ties - as to the possible consequences of his going
public with certain information.

According to Riconosciuto, Videnieks was a frequent visitor to the
Cabazon Indian reservation near Palm Springs and visited with tribal
manager, John P. Nichols.
Nichols was in essence Riconosciuto's boss in a number of enterprises
conducted on reservation land and the PROMIS modification was just one
of these projects.
According to Riconosciuto, in an interview with T.C. conducted from
jail, the PROMIS software was modified to install a backdoor access
for use by American intelligence services. The software was then sold
to 88 different countries as a sort of 'Trojan horse' package enabling
us to access their intelligence systems. According to Riconosciuto
these countries included Iraq and Libya.

Correspondence between Nichols and other companies, if authentic,
indicates that Riconosciuto's claims of his expertise in the area of
electronics and armaments appear to be true.
Marshall Riconoscuito, Michael's father, is a reputed former business
partner of Richard Nixon.
According to Riconosciuto, the fuzzy status of reservation land as
'sovereign' allowed elements of the CIA and organized crime to conduct
business uniquely.
Among the projects worked on during this time were joint projects with
WACKENHUT, a company loaded with former CIA and NSA personnel and
business ventures with the Saudi Arabian royal family and other
unusual projects.

A joint venture with Southern California Edison will soon be
generating power for bio-mass drawn from local waste outlets.
Biological warfare projects were investigated with Stormont
laboratories looking into the creation of 'pathogenic viruses' and
enhanced fuel-air explosive weapons were created and tested in league
with Meridian Arms at the NEVADA TESTING RANGE which matched the
explosive power of nuclear devices.
These enhanced weapons gained their power from polarizing the
molecules in the gas cloud by modification of the electric field, a
technology developed from exploring Thomas Townsend Brown's suppressed
work, a knowledge which Riconosciuto claims he gained from working at
LEAR in Reno, Nevada.

Riconosciuto is said to have worked on the enhanced fuel-air explosive
weapons with Gerald Bull of Space Research Corporation. Bull, now
deceased, later became an arms advisor to Saddam Hussein. It is said
that HUSSEIN POSSESSES THE FAE TECHNOLOGY.

In July, Anson Ng, a reporter for the Financial Times of London was
shot and killed in Guatemala. He had reportedly been trying to
interview an American there named Jimmy Hughes, a one-time director of
security for the Cabazon Indian Reservation secret projects.

In April, a Philadelphia attorney named Dennis Eisman was found dead,
killed by a single bullet in his chest. According to a former federal
official who worked with Eisman, the attorney was found dead in the
parking lot where he had been due to meet with a woman who had crucial
evidence to share substantiating Riconosciuto's claims.
Both Eisman's and Ng's deaths were declared suicides by authorities.

Fred Alvarez, a Cabazon tribal leader who was in vocal opposition to
the developments on the reservation, was found shot to death with two
friends in 1981. Their murder remains unsolved.
The leader of the House, Thomas Foley, announced last month that a
formal inquiry will be initiated into the Inslaw case. Foley appointed
Senator Terry Sanford as co-chairman of the joint congressional panel.
Prior to his election, Senator Sanford was the attorney representing
Earl Brian in his 1985 takeover bid for United Press International and
was instrumental in appointing Earl Brian, a medical doctor, to the
board of Duke Medical School, of which Sanford is President.

However, despite repeated requests from journalists to produce
photographs showing Riconosciuto together with Brian, and requests to
produce his passport showing his alleged trip to Iran, he has not yet
done so. Also Riconosciuto failed to be able to describe Peter
Videnieks to CNN's Moneyline program, claiming a medical condition
prevented him from remembering clearly.
This led one former intelligence operative to speculate that we may be
witnessing a very sophisticated intelligence operation being played
out in public.

Former F.B.I. Special Agent, Ted Gunderson, speaks for Riconosciuto's
credibility. Gunderson, who lives in Manhattan Beach, has worked with
Riconosciuto for many years in his capacity as private investigator.
Together, according to Gunderson, they were responsible for thwarting
a terrorist operation during the Los Angeles Olympics. According to
Gunderson, Riconosciuto was well known in certain circles as a genius
in almost all sciences.

The so-called drug operation broken up in Washington State was an
electrohydrodynamic mining operation claimed Gunderson, using Townsend
Brown technology. A videotape viewed by this journalist revealed
metallic powders and apparent processes unrelated to drug manufacture.
Indeed, a government analysis of soil samples revealed the absence of
drug contamination, but a high concentration of barium. Barium is
often found in high voltage related work.
Unsubstantiated information from an intelligence source claims that
the current situation is THE VISIBLE EFFECT OF A WAR CURRENTLY GOING
ON IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY between a group centered in the CIA
called AQUARIUS (around a powerful center known as MJ-12) and a group
known as COM-12 centered around Naval Intelligence. COM-12 is
reputedly trying to sustain a rearguard action to sustain and preserve
constitutional government and is deliberately LEAKING INFORMATION
damaging to the former group."

In the same publication, same issue, there appeared a follow-up
article just following the one given above. Written by Thomas Zed, the
article, titled "WACKENHUT'S CONNECTION WITH THE BLACK PROJECT WORLD"
stated:

"The Wackenhut company has a very close connection to the world of
BLACK BUDGET PROJECTS. Besides being connected with the Cabazon
venture mentioned in this issue it is also responsible, according to
jailed computer consultant Michael Riconosciuto, for the secret
projects being undertaken in Dulce, New Mexico where the Jicarilla
Indian Reservation is being similarly used.

After sending two of my colleagues there recently AND RECEIVING
CONFIRMATION THAT THERE WAS A TOP SECRET MILITARY TYPE INSTALLATION, I
decided to call the newspaper office and make an educated bluff.
I identified myself as a freelance reporter from Los Angeles -- and
told the newspaper that I was doing a story on the Cabazon reservation
biological warfare projects that had been undertaken there on behalf
of the CIA. I told her that I had heard that there were similar things
being done in Dulce and would like to know what was going on.

The official I spoke to became frightened and said, 'I can't talk to
you about that! It would be very unprofessional of me to talk to you
about that. You'll have to speak to the President of the tribe.' She
then hung up.

I have yet to call back and ask the President of the tribe, but will
report on that in the next issue.
Wackenhut is also responsible for security of a lot of underground
facilities in California and Nevada, including the notorious S-4 or
AREA 51 in Nevada where Townsend Brown flying disk technology (written
about in a T.C. recent issue) has been flying and developing for
decades.

A recent helicopter crash at the area, where two pilots and three
security guards from Wackenhut flying in a Messerschmit BO-105
helicopter were killed was not at all accidental claimed Riconosciuto,
who said that the individuals aboard the helicopter were traveling
with sensitive documents.

Groups are now investigating Riconosciuto's claims".

P.S.

As you can see, there had been an undeniable presence of Wackenhut
Corporation, or Wackenhut Security Systems at the Nevada Test Site in
the 1990s, and their working relationship with the Department of
Energy's Special Response Teams.

I had personally met Robert Booth Nichols ("formerly" with WACKENHUT
and who initially seemed to have been accused of holding pertinent
information on the death of Danny Casolaro) in June of 1992 when we
organized a public seminar that attempted to expose WACKENHUT and its
secret dealings with the "BLACK PROJECTS" programs, some of which is
indirectly related to the military weapons testing at certain
locations within the Nellis Air Force Range. The seminar, attended by
about 250 people was held in Arcadia (June of 1992).
The seminar was sponsored by the Civilian Intelligence Network (I was
director then) and my colleague Gary Schulz and also co-sponsored by a
Michael Younger who claimed to have been a liaison person of a group
then known as COM 12.
Ted Gunderson, former FBI Agent-in-charge of Los Angeles was one of
our guests at the conference. He confirmed to us that George Pender,
formerly with NSA was also in attendance.
By the way, at another conference held in Anaheim a few months later,
I had an opportunity to meet with the wife of Michael Riconosciuto who
"happened" to attend my presentations on AREA 51.

Here is some more on Robert Booth Nichols as it appeared on an article
on American Free Press years ago:

(QUOTE):

The man who attempted to sell the Army biological warfare technology
through Wackenhut Corporation, Robert Booth Nichols, originally
facilitated the project at the California-based research corporation
under the auspices of Meridian Arms, a subsidiary of Meridian
International Logistics, Inc. (MIL).

The Cabazon-Wackenhut Joint Venture had spawned a partnership between
Nichols and Michael Riconosciuto, who sits in prison after being
convicted on drug-related charges that he contends are trumped-up for
the purpose of silencing his "inside" knowledge about a variety of
high-level shenanigans. (for example, some weapons-related programs at
parts of Nevada Test Site).
Both Nichols and Riconosciuto were interested in developing new, high-
tech submachine guns, biological weapons and powerful explosive
devices that, like a nuclear blast, could produce an electromagnetic
pulse capable of wiping out an enemy's communications and electronics
systems.
Corporate minutes of MIL, dated August 26, 1988, along with signed
agreements, revealed that biological technology labeled "The Method
for Induction and Activation of Cytotoxic T-Lympocytes" were handed
over to the Japanese for further research.The corporate minutes noted
that a grant, or "donation" was provided by MIL to a Japanese medical
school for exlusive training of physicians "under contract to and
under the direction of Meridian International Logistics, Inc".

The board of directors at MIL included Robert Booth Nichols, a
licensed arms importer/exporter; Glenn Shockley, a CIA asset; Peter
Zokosky, former owner of Armtech, at that time the sole supplier of
120 mm combustible cartridge cases to the U.S. government; and Harold
Okimoto. Intelligence sources believed Okimoto to be a high-ranking
member of Japan's Yakuza crime syndicate.

(Interestingly enough, Mr. Okimoto was also present, or "happened" to
be attending the seminar at Arcadia when we attempted to expose
WACKENHUT's involvement in the Black Projects Programs....in fact I
remember exchanging a few words with him when I was introduced to him
by some of the attendees at the conference.)

Nichols also held permits to sell machine guns overseas. In obtaining
the required California permits to possess and sell machine guns,
Nichols received a recommendation from a CIA official named Larry
Curan.Nichols says he was contracted to ship 42 Cobra helicopters to
overseas warehouses.

The biological technology, which he attempted to sell through
Wackenhut, had been incubated in cow uteruses 20 floors beneath the
ground in California bio-labs and shipped to five Japanese institutes
for further research and development.Nichols says the identity of the
governments sponsoring the research was classified. One thing
researchers want to know is why an international arms dealer would
fund Japanese scientists in 1988 to research "a method for induction
and activation of Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes?"

Some wonder if there is a link between Nichols dealing in germ warfare
and the Japanese research.The answer may lie in microbiological
research conducted by Garth L.Nicolson, Ph.D., Department of Tumor
Biology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center.Nicolson says tens of thousands of Desert Storm veterans
suspected of having Gulf War Syndrome were refused medical treatment
to hide the possible origin and use of biological weapons during the
Gulf War.

Veterans' family members were also denied treatment, according to the
doctor. "55% OF GWS (Gulf War Syndrome) vets are suffering from a few
types of mycoplasmas, such as "Mycoplasma fermentans", Nicolson wrote.
"This one strain alone accounts for 35% of the total. This disease is
particularly vicious against the very young, and I have a list of
approximately 600 babies less than 2 years old that have died from the
illness".

Nicolson said it was ironic that his work on the HIV-1 virus and AIDS
also pointed to the same agenda -biological warfare." The mycoplasma
we found in GWS, we strongly believe, was 'engineered' and did not
evolve naturally", he noted."6000 soldiers have died since the Gulf
War...the number of U.S. dead is being hidden from the American
public."Staff members high up in the VA Central Command in Washington
D.C. secretly sent me about a two-foot high stack of records
documenting the deaths", Nicolson added.The doctor also treated a
dying military intelligence officer who confirmed the origin and sale
of illegal biological weapons to Iraq. He said those weapons were
subsequently used against U.S. soldiers in Desert Storm.Nicolson urged
researchers to investigate Tanox Biosystems, Inc. in Houston, Texas.

"If someone can nail a few of these operations, then perhaps the U.S.
government will give up on illegal, immoral biological weapons
programs", he said. Apparently Nichols inadvertently "nailed" one
operation. A secret desire to write about his exploits with the CIA
had led him to contact Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture
Association of America, through his corporate partner Gene Giaquinto.
The three met at the Beverly Hills Hotel where Nichols attempted to
sell Valenti a manuscript disclosing top secret CIA technology.

Nichols later said Valenti refused the manuscript because it
contained"classified national security information". Valenti once
served asassistant to President Lyndon B. Johnson.Unknown to the CIA,
Nichols had copyrighted the material at the Library ofCongress under
the pseudonym Robert B. LeDevoiller. The 20-page manuscript, entitled
ACCEPTABLE CASUALTY.
