Bo Gritz letter to GHW Bush

Bo Gritz Letter to George Bush
1 February 1988,
Sandy Valley, NV

Honorable George Bush, Vice President, United States of America,
Washington, D.C.

Sir:

Why does it seem that you are saying "YES" to illegal narcotics in America? I turned
over video tapes to your NSC staff assistant, Tom Harvey, January 1987, wherein
General KHUN SA, overlord of Asia's "Golden Triangle", offered to stop 900 tons of
heroin/opium from entering the free world in 1987. Harvey 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.

November 1986, Scott Weekly and I went into Burma in coordination and cooperation
with The White House.

Tom Harvey told me you received a letter from Arthur Suchesk, Orange County, CA,
dated 29 August 1986.

Dr. Suchesk said that Gen Khun Sa had access to U.S. POWs.

Harvey 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 Harvey, the CIA said Khun Sa had been assassinated some months
before.

Harvey supplied Scott and myself with language under White House and NSC
letter head 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.

Instead of receiving an "Atta Boy" for bringing back video tape showing Khun
Sa`s offer to stop 900 tons of illegal narcotics and expose dirty USG officials,
Scott 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".

I returned to Burma with two other American witnesses, Lance Trimmer, a private
detective from San Francisco, and Barry Flynn from Boston.

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 the Select Committee on Intelligence; Chairman of the House
on Foreign Affairs Task Force on Narcotics Control; Co-Chairman, Senate Narcotics
Committee; Senator Harry Reid, NV; Representative James Bilbray, NV; and other
Congressional members. Mister Richard Armitage, Assistant Secretary of Defense
for International Security Affairs, is one of those USG 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. Armitage.

I was charged with "Misuse of Passport".

Seems that it is alright for Oliver North and Robert MacFarlane to go into Iran on
Irish 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.

Lance Trimmer and I submitted a "Citizen Complaint of Wrongdoing by Federal
Officers" to Attorney General Edwin Meese, III on 17 September 1987. Continuous
private and Legislative inquiries to date indicate that the Attorney General's Office
has "lost" the document.

Congressional requests to the Government Accounting Office have resulted in additional
government snares and stalls. January 20, 1988, I talked before your Breakfast Club in
Houston, Texas.

A distinguished group of approximately 125 associates of yours, including the Chief
Justice of the Texas Supreme Court, 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.

Please answer why a respected American Citizen like Mister H. Ross Perot can bring
you a pile of evidence of wrongdoing by Armitage and others, and you, according to
TIME magazine (May 4, page 18), not only offer him no support, but have your Secretary
of Defense, Frank Carlucci tell Mr. Perot to "stop pursuing Mr. Armitage".

Why Sir, will you not look into affidavits gathered by The Christic Institute (Washington,
D.C.), which testify that Armitage 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, Armitage,
who is still responsible for POW recovery as your Assistant Secretary of Defense ISA,
has every reason not to want these heroes returned to us alive. Clearly, follow on
investigations would illuminate the collective crimes of Armitage and others.

Several years ago a secretary working for Armitage asked me "Why would he have
us expunge his official record of all reference to past POW/MIA assignments and
activities?" Not knowing, I ventured a guess that maybe he was considering running
for public office and didn't feel the POW -Vietnam association would be a plus in his
resume. It was about the same time a CIA agent named by Khun Sa turned up dead
in Bangkok under "mysterious circumstances".

Also about this time, as an agent of NSC's Intelligence Support Activity, I was told
by ISA Chief Jerry King, "...there are still too many bureaucrats in Washington who
don't want to see POWs returned 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 Richard Armitage as a key connection in a ring of heroin trafficking mobsters
and USG 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 CIA 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. I am a registered
Republican. 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 CIA in 1975, during a time Khun Sa says Armitage and CIA officials were trafficking
in heroin.

As Director of Intelligence you were responsible to the American 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. 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
Richard Armitage is named along with Theodore Shackley (your former Deputy Director CIA
from Covert Operations) and others.

Please also note William Stevenson's article, "Bank of Intrigue-Circles of Power". You, Armitage,
and General Richard Secord are prominently mentioned. Stevenson, you might remember,
authored A MAN CALLED INTREPID.

Also Tom Fitzpatrick's article, "From Burma to Bush, a Heroin Highway", should interest you.
Both of these men are prize winning journalists.

The book, CRIMES of PATRIOTS, "A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money, and the CIA", by Jonathan
Kwitny, 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 America 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.

Parting shot Mr. Vice President:

On 28 January 1988, General Khun Sa tendered an offer to turn over to me one metric ton
(2,200 pounds) of heroin. He says this is a good faith gesture to the American people that
he is serious
about stopping all drugs coming from the infamous Golden Triangle.

I, you and Nancy 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 New York City.

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 Asia (600-- tons-
- '86, 900 tons-- '87, 1200-- tons'88) may dry up--not good for business in the parallel
government and super CIA circles Oliver North mentioned. If you say "NO" to Khun Sa,
you are showing colors not fit for a man who would be President.

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, return of
POWs while they are still alive?

I for one am not for a "USA, Inc." with you or anyone else as Chairman of the Board.

Respecting Your Office,

James "Bo" Gritz, Concerned American,

I am not familiar with Bo Gritz or Kuhn Sa.

Burma figures now with China:

http://www.asiapacificms.com/articles/m ... influence/

China killed three thousand students who wanted to liberalize the regime—
at the same time it moved to ally itself with the Myanmar drug army. Of more
relevance to smack in America is Afghanistan where poppy production is up and
35 billion worth is comin' t' gitcha.

Our friend the colonel reported he was ordered to provide safe passage for a
drug convoy out of Viet Cong territory, and did so; that the tableau was Apocalypse
Now weird, with tigers and elephants. Terry Reed (and John Cummings), Compromised:

Clinton, Bush and the CIA, Shapolsky/SPI, 1994, relates the author's experience first as a
CNC consultant on manufacture of M-16 lower receivers, then as trainer for Nicaraguan
pilots on twin-engine aircraft (stolen by North in Operation Donation), and the subsequent
brush with danger and death, the stings, the loads.Barry Seal in 1986.

The appearance of Felix Rodriguez/Maximo Gomez, the fellow who got Che in 1967.

The meeting in the bunker with Clinton arguing with North while Buddy Young guarded the
door and the Reagan-Bush Justice official presided.

The blanket of secrecy and death which smothered any investigation into the Mena smuggling,
Clinton's bond chief, brother Roger (“nose like a vacuum”), and the intimation that Clinton
was already CIA.

Certainly his trip to Prague with Strobe Talbot is an indicator.

We read of the thousands of tons of precursor chemicals sold by China to Mexican super labs
to manufacture the methedrine, eighty per cent of the product consumed in this country.

And what of Ramos and Compean, made examples of by “my good friend Johnny Sutton” for
daring to interfere with Aldrete Davila running seven hundred pounds here, a thousand pounds
there.

My friend John Carman, Secret Service in the Ford White House, a decorated United States
Customs officer, then a whistleblower running customs corruption.com, then framed in Mexico
in 2007 and now in Federal prison.

http://www.defraudingamerica.com/carman ... 9_2007.pdf

Fellow former customs officer and whistleblower Darlene Fitzgerald

http://www.darlene4senate.com/

told me there are those in government now who would like to see her in a cell next to
John Carman's--War on drugs? It is to laugh.

John F. Kennedy was pulling out of Vietnam—obviously that would have put a crimp in
the drug trade.

Losing Cuba—that hurt—consider, now you've got Zelaya supported by Obama, Castro,
Chavez—and Zelaya was running four planes a day.

Chavez working with FARC—and Pelosi fighting any trade agreement with Colombia which
would help that nation fight the drug cartel-FARC alliance.

Whatever the political administration, the Cocaine Import Agency is fighting for the trade
—FOR the trade, not against it. Never against it—a thing like that could get you killed.

You fight the smack, they blow your head off in broad daylight, high noon in Dallas.
