Subject: the INSLAW case:  "Napa Sentinel" series, part 8


      Harry Martin, Editor & Publisher of the "Napa Sentinel", has been
      doing some of the best investigative journalism published anywhere
      in recent years.  This is part 8 of a 10-part series (plus 6
      addendums) on the INSLAW case.



       MURDER OF THREE INDIANS MAY BE PART OF HOUSE PROBE ON INSLAW CASE
                               By Harry V. Martin
                             Eighth in a NEW SERIES
                       (c) Copyright Napa Sentinel, 1991
                                 April 16, 1991
                Reprinted with permission of the Napa Sentinel


        A security guard, who linked the CIA with the execution-style
      murder of one Indian and two other men who objected to the tribe's
      manufacturing of weapons, chemical and biological warfare devices
      and the conversion of INSLAW''s sensitive software, fled to Sonoma
      and Lake counties right after the murders.  The security guard's
      secret hiding places were sanctioned by the Riverside County
      District Attorney's Office and the state Department of Justice.
        The security guard testified in a video-taped interview about the
      murders and named names.  The video-taping was taken by the
      Riverside County District Attorney's Office after a Cabazon Indian
      and his two companions were found slain.  The security guard's
      testimony to the DA's Office revealed that he was the bag man who
      carried $10,000 from the Indian Reservation in Indio to the top of
      an aerial tram in Palm Springs.  The $10,000 was "hit" money.
      According to the testimony, several ex-Green Berets, then employed
      as firemen in the City of Chicago, executed the three Indians.
        Who paid for the executions?  According to the testimony, a man
      who was once closely associated with Jimmy Hoffa and who then
      operated the Bingo Parlor on the Indian Reservation, provided the
      $10,000 for the killing.  The three slain men had raised serious
      objections to the Wackenhut-Cabazon joint venture.  Wackenhut was
      involved as agents for the CIA to provide arms to the Contras and
      also to convert INSLAW's stolen PROMIS software for use by the
      Canadian Government.  The Canadian Government has ordered an
      investigation into the pirated software scandal and the U.S. House
      Judiciary Committee is conducting its own investigation in what has
      been described as the U.S. Department of Justice's "trickery, deceit
      and theft" of the software.  The U.S. Government has been connected
      with the illegal sale of the sensitive software to South Korea,
      Libya, Iraq, Israel and Canada, as well as being pirated by a number
      of U.S. agencies, including the CIA, National Security Agency and
      other military units.  The software is also in use by the FBI.  Only
      the U.S. Justice Department was licensed to use the software, which
      tracks criminals and can be used for military tracking, as well.
      INSLAW was awarded $6.8 million by two federal courts against the
      U.S. Justice Department.
        The scandal has deepened considerably, especially since the
      testimony of Michael J. Riconoscuito, who worked closely with the
      Wackenhut company, and Dr. Earl Brian--a close aid and financial
      business associate of former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese and
      former California Cabinet official in the Ronald Reagan
      governorship.  The scandal has caught several members of the U.S.
      Justice Department, the National Security Council, the federal
      bankruptcy court, and  other government officials in a vice.
      Newspapers from Canada and the United States rate the INSLAW case
      equal to the Iran-Contra scandal and Watergate.
        Riconoscuito provided an affidavit which compromised the U.S.
      Justice Department and covert CIA operations.  The affidavit stated
      that Riconoscuito was warned by U.S. Justice Department officials
      that if he cooperated with the House Judiciary investigation of the
      INSLAW case, he would be arrested.  Within eight days of signing the
      affidavit, Riconoscuito was arrested in the State of Washington and
      held without bail.  He was later charged with one count of
      distribution of methamphetamines -- a crime that usually has a low
      bail.  Riconoscuito was being held for U.S. Marshals.  Investigators
      from the House Judiciary Committee interviewed Riconoscuito in a
      Tacoma jail last week.
        Riconoscuito's mention of the Wackenhut-Cabazon joint venture,
      sparked more controversy.  The House Judiciary Committee is now also
      reviewing information on the Indian murders.
        The "Sentinel" was able to obtain an exclusive interview with
      people closely associated with the Cabazon nation and the murders.
      The security guard, who was the bag man, had just left the military
      service as an airborne ranger working on  covert assignments.  He
      was hired as a security guard for the Cabazon nation.  Another man,
      a licensed investigator, was hired to question the security guard
      about what he knew.  It was learned that a key Indian of the tribe
      was making strong objections to the laundering of money from the
      Bingo Parlor.  The main antagonist was Fred Alvarez.
        The security guard was given $10,000 to give to a hit man in Palm
      Springs.  He has subsequently video-taped his confession to the
      Riverside County District Attorney's office.  Alvarez, in an
      exclusive interview with the "Desert Sun," complained about the U.S.
      Government's abuses of the Indian nation.  He told the "Sun" that
      people were going to kill him.  Alvarez was murdered in execution
      style after the interview.
        The Riverside District Attorney's Office and the California
      Department of Justice commenced their separate investigations of the
      murders.  A report was issued by the state linking the people behind
      the Cabazons with direct links to organized crime--a chief Mafia
      Family, the Gambino Family--and the CIA.  The Cabazon reservation,
      however, is an independent nation.  In video interviews, the
      security guard told how Wackenhut demonstrated new weapons with both
      the FBI and the CIA present.  He also testified to the presence at
      these demonstrations of Dr. Earl Brian.
        The man who paid the security guard $10,000 was later convicted of
      attempted murder after five more Indians were shot to death.  He was
      linked by law enforcement officials to organized crime and CIA
      covert operations.
        The security guard testified that the Indio reservation was
      convenient for the U.S. Government because it was an independent
      nation and because it was close to the Mexican border, where arms
      were shipped enroute to the Contras.  The security guard's testimony
      was so sensitive, that late one night the Riverside County District
      Attorney's Office arranged for an armed escort to get him off the
      reservation.  He went to Sonoma and Lake counties, and then back to
      Southern California to work with the Department of Justice.  He fled
      to New Mexico and now has left the country.  He may return to
      testify before the House Judiciary Committee, though he is in fear
      of his life right now.
                             (to be continued.)

                           (continuation)
        Like in the INSLAW case, those principles involved have fallen
      like flies.  The first federal judge to rule in INSLAW's favor
      against the U.S. Justice Department was not re-appointed to another
      14-year term.  Many members of the U.S. Justice Department quit or
      were fired in direct relationship to this case.  The chief
      investigator for the Riverside County District Attorney's Office was
      later taken off the case and transferred to the Juvenile Division
      and then given early retirement.  Shortly after his retirement, the
      DA investigator states that he was pulled off the road one day by a
      CIA agent and told to forget all about the "desert" if he wanted to
      enjoy his retirement.
        The man who gave the money to the security guard for the murder,
      was also the same man who is reported to have been the trigger man
      in Chile in 1971--the target:  President Salvador Allende.

That was posted to Bitnet's ACTIV_-L newsgroup by Dave Ratcliffe and
was forwarded to misc.activism.progressive by the moderator, Rich Winkel.

Now let's confirm the identity of that alleged trigger man.
From the book, "INSIDE JOB: The Looting of America's Savings and Loans",
                By Stephen Pizzo, Mary Fricker and Paul Muolo,
                McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, 1989;
summarizing several paragraphs beginning on page 303:

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   
   Very often, people at failed Savings & Loans were affiliated with
   the CIA. They were secreting huge sums to the Contras in Nicaragua
   and to other covert adventures. For example, there was a report of
   a meeting between Contra commanders Raul Arana and Eden Pastora and
   G. Wayne Reeder, a heavy borrower of funds from the San Marino
   Savings Bank in Southern California. The 1981 meeting was a
   demonstration -- presumably on the Cabazon Indian reservation --
   of military weapons and other equipment produced there for a
   proposed illegal sale to the Contras. Such military equipment
   included machine guns and Litton Industries' night-vision goggles.
   The illegal arms merchant in this pow-wow was none other than
   Dr. John Philip Nichols, the chief of the Cabazon Reservation's
   Bingo Palace. Nichols was working in cahoots with the Wackenhut
   Security Corporation, a Coral Gables Florida private army founded 
   by ex-CIA and ex-FBI bigwigs, many of whom were forced to resign
   over their criminal involvements in the Watergate infamy. Nichols 
   was apparently among his brethren, for he had declared himself to be
   a CIA veteran who had attempted to assassinate Cuban Premier Fidel
   Castro and the democratically elected President of Chile, Salvador
   Allende. Allende was indeed assassinated and Nichols was reported 
   to have boasted of committing the murder.
*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

All of the above text is my own capitulation of several paragraphs
from "INSIDE JOB" along with some added details which I had posted 
among previous installments of this series. 

So there is no doubt about the identity of the man, alluded to in
the Napa Sentinel article, who paid the ten thousand dollars to
assassinate Fred Alvarez and two of his friends -- the same man 
who claims to have pulled the trigger in the assassination of 
President Allende.

Are you vexed to know that your taxed salary is financing murder,  
the ultimate crime, as well as many other untold crimes of sheer evil?

If your conscience answers yes, you can write to a person and an 
organization dedicated to using our laws, which our government
routinely desecrates, to prosecute these criminals of officialdom
who confiscate our freedom and our earnings. That person is

      Daniel Sheehan, chief attorney
      The Christic Institute
      1324 North Capitol St., N.W.
      Washington, D.C. 20002

The Christic Institute cannot succeed in defending our 
Constitution and our freedom if we don't care enough to assist.

If we seriously listen to this "God within us" ["conscience",
if you will], we usually find ourselves being urged to take the
more difficult path, the path of more effort rather than less.
.... Each and every one of us, more or less frequently, will hold
back from this work. .... Like every one of our ancestors before
us, we are all lazy. So original sin does exist; it is our laziness.
