Just when Arizona was starting to recover from the assault on its public image caused by the world wide notoriety of the Martin Luther King Holiday/Governor Ev Mecham Impeachment controversy, 9 Buddhist monks turn up dead in what has all the appearances of a military style execution. Particularly heinous about this crime is the fact that Buddhist monks are perhaps the most gentle people in the world. Murder of a Buddhist monde my phone number and suggestion of debates and addresses on college campuses. I will enhance your % for business that results from this.
I have arrangements for an agency fee of 30% of honorariums with my speakers. I think we should ask in the range of $2,500 to $2,000 for maximum exposure. I have two good people working for me out of Orlando Florida.
There is a great deal I wish to send to you but in the interest of moving things along I want to get this off to you now.
My very best regards for your wonderful work,
BRIAN DOWNING QUIG
September 3, 1991 offered to plan a scheduled trip to Phoenix to coincide with SCC's Earth week and speak for free but I was unable to confirm this for him in time.
I rejected Jim's suggestion of David Foreman of EARTH FIRST on the grounds that he wanted $6,000.
I offered Harry Braun and George Paul for $1,000 each which is less than half of what other universities pay (and the same price as ASU). George Paul is a key player on a global level whose work I consider to be so significant that I am donating my fee (as he is also) to his FOUNDATION FOR BIODIVERSITY. Some scientists estimate that 3/4 of the animal species my die out over the next 25 years. George is important to prevent this.
I know of three professors on your campus who are excellent speakers on environmental subjects. You are the collectiveT h) Tbuyers for 10,000 students. They are entitled to the finest programs. Should you elect to combine all these inspiring people your program will be several times more impressive than ASU's Earth Week for the same cost.
I believe my motives have been badly misconstrued. I made two trips to ASU and arranged 7 speakers for ASASU(of 15 total) for $3,500. I also arranged 3 speakers for the Honors Program of the Business College. The program I proposed for SCC makes only $300 for me. Objectively I do not believe you can attach a monetary motive for the efforts I have made.
I persuaded Steve McCloud to assist me in arranging events for Robert Groden on the east coast which I believe suits him better than moping floors. I regret that he felt he did not have the time to do both this and participate in student government.
Please call me to share your thoughts regarding earth week.
Best regards,

P.S. I am enclosing the document Sherman mentioned.
Party knowledge that Shackley has been a major player in international narcotics trafficking and that "Shackley parked Terry Burke at DEA to baby sit Shackley's drug operations there." I think you realize that this information is precisely the link I was looking for but more definitive than anything I expected to uncover in my wildest dreams.
This person is willing. Since this matter involves allegations of corruption at the highest levels I do not recommend or see any reason why this information should be shared by you with anyone else before this deposition is taken. dating back to the Miami CIA station under Theodore Shackley and Tom Clines at the time of the John Kennedy assassination. Subsequent to that, Burke served as CIA station chief in Laos! All this before Burke became the number two man at DEA. According to Gene Wheaton, retired military Criminal Investigations Division, Burke was "parked at DEA by Theodore Shackley to baby sit Shackley's CIA drug Business".
I found the AMERICA WEST AIRLINE drug trafficking trial fascinating. Patrick Thurston, Vice President of Operations AMERICA WEST, Bob Russell, Chief of Pilots, and Carl Wobser, a captain, all pleaded guilty to multiple counts of narcotics trafficking. They had purchased a DC 6 and embarked upon aT h) Tcareer in the drug trade. Unfortunately for them their plane, which they maxed out electronically, had chronic engine problems which required them to touch down unexpectedly in several countries. This was more than embarrassing since they had not filed flight plans. On one such emergency stop in Aruba, on the way back from Columbia, their plane was found packed with marijuana. There is reason to believe that their intended cargo was cocaine and that after a mix)up they did not wish to fly back empty. Dispite the lofty positions these men held with AMERICA WEST they seemed to have no dificulity getting time off for their drug flights and AMERICA WEST wanted to rehire Russell after his 6 months in the Federal country club.
Twenty percent of the stock of AMERICA WEST was owned by ANSETT AIRLINES of Australia and 55% of ANSETT was held by Sir Peter Ables and Rupert Murdock. We know from Jonathan Kwitney's book THE CRIMES OF PATRIOTS that Burny Houghton, perhaps the key figure in the founding of the CIA drug money laundering bank NUGAN)HAND in Australia, had coffee with Sir Peter Ables the night of his first day in Australia.
I watched Assistant U.S. Attorney James Lacey prosecute both rounds of this case. The three AMERICAN WEST pilots had all plea bargained out. If they did not testify truthfully about the others in the case they would be looking forward to serious time. Lacey prosecutes all the large narcotics cases in Arizona. Because he is the son of Frederic Lacey, the federal judge appointed by the Justice Department to be administrator of the TEAMSTERS UNION, Jim Lacey has unusual clout in the U.S. Attorney's office here. Although Lacey could not deny the pertinence of the information I gave him it was clear that he did not want to know where this case ultimately led. I watched him play patty cake with the defendants when he should have been playing hard ball.
The plot began in July of 1986 when Helmut Bubbel called Thurston from Alaska and arranged a meeting at the ARIZONA BILTMORE RESORT HOTEL with Thurston and the other pilots. Ten days later they met again in Bangkok Thailand to arrange their first cargo. Their original plan was to make their pick up in communist Laos. One doesn't go to the great difficulty to travel to restricted Laos to purchase marijuana or Thai stick as the pilots claimed. Pot is legal in Thailand. One goes to Laos for heroin. Thurston testified that his cut of this first flight was to be one million dollars. When I ran the numbers for Lacey it was obvious that only a heroin cargo would generate this amount of profit. With the DC 6 three or four flights a year would have provided the entire US requirement for heroin.T h) T
It was well known that Thurston was formerly a CIA pilot for AIR AMERICA supporting the secret war in LAOS. Several employees of AMERICA WEST told me that all three pilots worked for military intelligence. I pleaded with Lacey to check the military records of the defendants. I know that he never did. I told him that Helmut Bubbel fit the perfect CIA profile and that he was probably the highest ranking member of the plot. After several unscheduled stops overseas made it clear to the pilots that they would be caught, it was Bubbel that the pilots closed ranks to protect.
The military record of Bubbel would never have been known except that the author Ken Coontz, author of THE FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER came forward as a character witness for Bubbel. THE FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER was about Bubbel's experiences as a carrier pilot during the VIETNAM war.
Col. L. Fletcher Prouty relates how Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Navy, John Lehman set about gaining public support for his coveted "600 ship Navy" )) this the largest the world has ever known. In order to create sex appeal for all this high tech weaponry, Lehman assigned 5 instructors of submarine warfare from ANNAPOLIS to Tom Clancy, author of THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER and many other such best sellers which depended on this inside knowledge and unprecedented cooperation with DOD. Clancy's endorsement is on the back of Coontz's FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER. In fact Coontz's book and movie is an exact carbon copy of Tom Clancy. It is most significant to note that John Lehman was running the John Poindexter/Oliver North operation. Lymann quietly retired when the IRAN/CONTRA scandal first broke.
In 1943, after an unsuccessful attempt to take over the 5 organized crime families of New York, narcotics king pin Joe Bonnono moved to Arizona. When Customs tried to deport Bonnono, Evo DeConcini, father of Arizona Senator Dennis DeConcini, and an Arizona Supreme Court judge at the time, mounted a strong defence for his friend Joe Bonnono. Evo went on to amass a fabulous fortune and Arizona became the number one narcotics trafficking state in the US. Dennis now sits as co)chair of the SENATE NARCOTICS CONTROL COMMITTEE.
In Joe Bonnano's book MAN OF HONOR, Bonnono provides pictures of Evo DeConcini socializing with Bonnono, Joseph Profaci and Joseph Magliocco ))) three of the very king pins of the narcotics industry. Dennis is on record with the ridiculous statement that he thought his father's unusual friend was "a retired cheeseT h) Tmaker from Wisconsin". Chuck Bonnono was snuffed a week after the monks in Sedona Arizona indicating unrest in the industry.
From the above it is easy to surmise that law enforcement here will apply all the diligence to the murders of the monks that they gave to the LAGUNA ARMY AIR BASE case and the AMERICA WEST case. We should look for the same results.
