A Novel By Robert Plumlee
Set in present-day Denver, Colorado this political thriller features former contract pilot and CIA operative, Will Pearson, who shows up for a court-ordered psychiatric appointment with Dr. Yancey. During his appointment, Pearson recounts disturbing dreams of his adventures in America's most secretive black operations in Cuba, Southeast Asia, the United States, and Mexico.
The most disturbing claim Will made during his first visit to Doctor Yancey concerned his assignment to a secret military team that was sent to Dallas by the Pentagon in November1963. Their objective was to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Are Pearson's dreams real or the figments of an overwrought imagination? The seasoned psychiatrist, Dr. Yancey, skeptical at first, gradually comes to believe his new patient. It also becomes clear that the psychiatrist is more than what he appears to be. Yancey's footprints run deep into the historical sandbox of the CIA and its sinister history. Some shadowy organizations do not want Pearson's dreams investigated. Scary figures, a fat man and two men in a black car, follow Pearson, and Dr. Yancey makes a strange phone call to the FBI after Pearson's second visit.
Who or what is behind Pearson's court-ordered psychiatric visits, and more importantly, why? Does Will Pearson hold the secrets to the greatest conspiracy of the 20th Century? What will happen if he reveals those hidden secrets? Could it lead to the downfall of America's political structure? Could Will's confessions and the interruption of his dreams transform American history? The psychiatric Dr. Yancey, will he keep Will's secrets in trust, or...?
Deep Cover Shallow Graves is Will Pearson's incredible journey through a 'no--mans' land of government intrigue, espionage, and secret black operations. It is a fifty-year plus odyssey of how a man in his autumn years found Truth, hidden within the dark shadows of his youth; and how finding that truth set him free.

I'll read it with trepidation born of the expectation of tortured prose.
Tosh -- and, I'm guessing, his readers -- would have been better served had he chosen to write non-fiction.
But of course I'll reserve judgment. For now.
Jan is right: history as fiction enjoys the powers to enlighten, persuade, and stimulate deep emotions that are unique to art and that no documentarian, regardless of medium, could ever hope to match.
But the technical and creative challenges inherent in all artistic expressions are almost always beyond the abilities of non-fiction writers to overcome.
A friend inquired about "Tosh" Plumlee and when I replied, "Why don't you ask him that when you talk to him next," got all you don't have to be such a wise mouth--what did I do to deserve that, so I explained, the man is not dead, just leery of misrepresentation, but still, willing as Linda Ronstadt once sang.
He sent that lovely marked-up photo to "Bud" Fensterwald in 1981; did I see that among the Anthony DeFiore paper.
He and Sergio--how intriguing. . .
He knows fiction isn't a cloak of invincibility (alas poor George) but
he also smacks the usual loveable liars as making it up
Put on these night-vision goggles and get into the right seat
Thanks Magda. These pictures are of me in the early-mid sixties. ... some taken at JMWAVE Miami CIA Station. The reason I asked you to post was because some researchers are ID'ing them wrong, saying they are Frank Sturges... example Berry and the Boys Mexico City photos found in that book. I thought asking forum members to ID might prove interesting in view that the front shot has been proven by forensic and other witnesses.
Here are a few more from Cuban days... Antonio Venciana, Alpha 66 HDQ, Miami and Pablo Duran's Grandson, 1990., and one from my flying for the Forest Service, 1997. The big 50 is approaching and people are saying the pictures are Frank Sturges and that he was in Dallas.... WRONG. The book is coming along slow but steady. I'll send you a copy when its released. You can push it along down there if you like, thanks.... take care Tosh

Two things. Tosh informed me that the book will NOT be out by the 50th as originally planned, but several months after. Second, TP is going to be testifying in Congress soon on what happened in Benghazi!
In an article by Jimm Marrs and an interview on infowars.com with Alex Jones, William Robert "Tosh" Plumlee, a former CIA contract pilot who flew arms and ammunition for the agency as far back as the overthrow of Batista and the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, as well as to Nicaragua during the Iran-Contra scandal, and who testified in 1977 before the Church Committee and in 1990 and 1991 also before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated that a high-level NATO official in the Middle East and a good friend who worked with him in Central America, told him that weapons, including stinger missiles, were being transported from Benghazi, Libya, to Syrian rebels, and that Ambassador Chris Stevens opposed this operation.Plumlee reports that he was told that Stevens wrote a number a memos in the 4 weeks or two months before Sept. 11, 2012 on this matter, but was told to stand down.
Plumlee reported that Obama was running large shipments of "high impact" weapons, as well as small arms and ammunition through a network of clandestine CIA safe houses in Turkey and Jordan to the Syrian rebels through a program known as Direct Commercial Sales (DCS). This group operates within the U.S. State Deparment's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). The DCS program regulates private U.S. companies' overseas sales of weapons and other defense articles, defense services, and military training.
Plumlee, who reportedly will be testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee next week, demanded that those Stevens' dispatches to the State Department be released. He also said that by his coming forward, he hoped that others who were the boots on the ground would now come forward and take a risk with him in telling the truth. Plumlee, who is now 76 years old, said that if he were a government employee and he were involved in providing weapons to terrorists, it would be his responsibility to come forward. He concluded the interview by saying, "I want my country back."

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
I'lltry to explain the best way I know with background that led up to theDoJ and DHS getting involved. On September 24, this year,representatives from one of the investigative committees fromWashington DC, that was involved in the Fast &Furious matter,were to come out to Peterson Air Force Base and talk with me aboutinformation I had received from the Middle East. Thisinformation I had received was from a sensitive military contact fromFt Bliss Texas, who had worked with the Joint US/MX Task Forceoperating inside Mexico previously. (TF-7 operations from 2009-2013;ref article from Narco News June 2010 US has boots on the groundoperating inside Mexico; by Bill Conroy) Thishigh level military source had recently been reassigned from the MXTF to the Middle East from Ft Bliss, Texas and was in contact with aNATO inspection team and elements within the Syrian Rebels. ThisUC military Intel contact, relayed information to me from his NATOsources about U.S. military weapons being in Rebels hands and werebeing pilfered by radical groups within the Rebels. This Intelteam found out via their sources that some of those weapons had beenobtain from Jordan, and Turkey and had been in storage in CIAcontrolled Safe Houses maintained by private U.S. contractors. These'safe houses' had received these high impact weapons, and othercommunications gear, direct from US stockpiles in the US, allegedlythrough the United States, Direct Commercial Sales program. Therepresentatives fro DC wanted this information for theirinvestigation and advised me it was a classified matter, classifiedunder National Security statues. This meeting at Peterson AFB, wasconsidered as a fact finding interview only.--other meetings with mewould be held behind close doors in Washington DC at a later date. AfterI released this background information to various media outlets (ortried to) for my protection and that of the Meddle Eastern crews, whohad relayed the info to me, the Peterson meeting was suddenly calledoff because of the pending government cuts and lay offs, so said theysaid. Atabout this time a report, unconfirmed from multi sources, that USweapons from Jordan and Turkey, had been found on scene at theBenghazi embassy, after the attack on the compound the year before. Also about this time Sept. 29 or so, I was advised that the limited information I had previously given to the investigators was going to be turned over to the Department of Justice and Homeland Security for their independent investigation concerning the leaking of National Security matters to media.
Iwas asked by a DoJ, and FBI source how I had obtained thisinformation and from who? I told the Washington sources that Iwas a Journalist and would not divulge my sources. I was told,"We'll see about that". I perceived this as a threatand contacted another Journalist, Jim Marrs who wrote an article andcontacted Inforwars, Alex Jones and the rest is now history.
