This is as true today as it was in 2004 — and as relevant!

Man this is frustrating. >>
By all means “”go Roman” on these people and burn their jungle, kill the inhabitants and salt the earth” — but do it among the treasonous scum at secretary Powell’s Place in Foggy Bottom DC — where total responsibility for sending State’s fourth and fifth rate “aviators” to dangerous places resides in the “Bureau for International Narcotics Matters and Law Enforcement” and squarely upon the craven shoulders of the recently retired John E McLaughlin [Mentioned in this piece] — and in all of those who have, for twenty five years, believed that scurrilous phony’s abject lies.
For twenty years McLaughlin — an intellectually and morally bankrupt third-rate bureucrat who epitomises all that is wrong with entrusting government with money — has, for fear that even second raters would quickly figure him and blow the whistle on his incompetence and effective corruption, hired only fourth and fifth raters.
McLaughlin’s every clain during that entire period of have “eradicated” coca and other drug crops is a lie.
Neither McLaughlin nor any associated with him or with the US Department of State have had any effective impact whatever, ever, on a single acre of drug cultivation!
I designed the State Department’s aerial anti-narcotics program, sold and final-designed and oversaw the production and international ferry-flight delivery of its first airplanes, trained its first pilot hires from and in Burma [Myanmar] Columbia and other South American states and Cuba and the US, spent several thousand hours authoring all of its initial maintanence and instruction manuals, flew its first ever anti-narcotics’ spray missions [In Burma] and worked with John McLaughlin [Who wrote up all of my work as his own and plagerized all of my manuals] for several years.
And — along with all of those who knew McLaughlin and worked with us [Including some very real veteran aviation heros — which that lying SoB is absolutely not!] — have no hesitation whatsoever in saying that, despite that all the gummint ever gets to hire are the bottom feeders left when America’s FRee Enterprise businesses and corporations have finished fishing, seining, netting, long-lining and trawling America’s talent pool — and that his competition amounts to zero — there has probably never been a less competent “aviation” or any other kind of parasitical person — or a more accomplished liar — in the employ of the feral gummint in American History or, come to that, a more stupid person to take a dump between two shoes — ever!
Best ones — Brian
