And I though Phoenix Project was long past.....guess not completely.

I interviewed Bill Young in Chiang Mai in 1991. The gist of it is in my books. A lot of people, even Al McCoy, skirt around what he did, which in 1965 was to set up the CIA's 118 Strageic Intelligence Network. You should all check it out. Notably, although I have written about it, you will not be able to Google it.

On that same trip to the Far East, I spoke with Tony Pow in Udon Thani. I was supposed to meet Bill Lair but things got hairy in the bar he hung out at in bangkok. I did meet Jack Shirley at a bar in Bangkok but ended up having to flee.

There is a National Enquirer aspect to what went on in Laos and Northern Thailand and Burma. I may write an article about it. Partly for that reason, the real story is how people, even guys like Al McCoy, have censored the CIA's drug empire there.

Thanks for 'checking in' and posting Doug. I hope Al McCoy's reticence was for his own 'safety' and not to hide anything per se, I assume that was it.

It IS significant and sadly not unexpected that what you have written about, as mentioned above, is not available via google or any other search engine.....mockingbird in action!

I'll check out what you wrote about Young from your books shortly and proffer any questions...I hope others will, as well. However, for those 'miserables' who have not yet discovered you and your books, might you give them a hint of what your know and felt about Bill Young and his current demise?!

For those of you not steeped in Deep Political Doo-Doo, we are most honored to have D.V. speaking to us here....as he knows more than most all who are allowed [or allow themselves] to speak to such things as this!
