This if from John Lear, Bill Lear's son. If you read this and realize what he was talking about gun running and smuggling, I would think people would realize the importance of an enterprise like Maverick Air, which was traveling directly from the US to Iran, with at will stops in Russia, Germany, Israel, and Italy. Oddly enough, Lear was connected to the group I mentioned above. Maverick Air had at least three CIA/smuggling involved persons, as well as other lessor members, and had been under investigation prior to Lyman's death. The public story is that Lyman had been dipping into the employee withholdings, but I really doubt that.



"Leaving Budapest then refueling in Jeddah we flew radio silence down the Red Sea trying to avoid the MiGs based in Aden, South Yemen, whose sole purpose on earth was to force us down and expose this trans-shipment of arms. The briefing was simple. If you guys get into trouble DON'T CALL US.

Back to Vegas in December of that year I was hired as Chief Pilot for Bonanza Airlines 2 operating DC-3’s and a Gulfstream 1 from Vegas to Aspen. After that airline collapsed I was hired by Hilton Hotels to fly their Lear 35 A. In my spare time I flew part time for Dynalectron and the EPA on an underground nuke test monitoring program. I flew their B-26, OV-10, Volpar Beech and Huey helicopter. I also flew the Tri Motor Ford part time for Scenic Airlines. In 1978 my Dad passed away and left me with one dollar, which incidentally, I never got. 25 years have passed since Dad has been gone, and in time, all feelings mellow. If somehow I could, I would just like to tell him… I still think he was an *. In 1980 I ran for the Nevada State Senate district 4. I lost miserably only because I was uninformed, unprepared and both of my size 9 triple E’s were continually in my mouth.

I took an unauthorized leave of absence from Hilton to go to Cairo and fly the teacher movement for Aero America in Boeing 720’s, throughout the Middle East and Africa for 3 weeks.

Arriving back in Las Vegas I was summarily fired from Hilton and moved back to Cairo for 2 years to fly for Air Trans another CIA cutout. After the Camp David accords were signed in 1979 each country, Egypt and Israel were required to operate 4 flights a week into the others country. Of course, El Al pilots didn't mind flying into Cairo but you could not find an Egyptian pilot that would fly into Tel Aviv. So an Egyptian airline was formed called Nefertiti Airlines with me as chief pilot to fly the 4 flights a week into Tel Aviv. On our off time we flew subcontract for Egyptair throughout Europe and Africa. All this, of course was just a cover for our real missions which was all kinds of nefarious gun running throughout Europe and Africa which we did in our spare time. And now that our beloved 40th president has passed on I can tell you that in fact (with my apologies to Michael Reagan) the October Surprise was true. The October surprise for those of you that don't remember happened during October of 1980 when Reagan and Bush were running against Carter and Mondale George Bush was flown in a BAC 111 one Saturday night to Paris to meet with the Ayatollah Khomeini. Bush offered the Khomeini a deal whereby if he would delay the release of the hostages held in Tehran until Reagan’s inauguration, the administration would supply unlimited guns and ammunition to the Iranians. In order to get Bush back for a Sunday morning brunch so that nobody would be alerted to his absence he was flown back in an SR-71 from Reims field near Paris to McGuire AFB. Of course Reagan won, the hostages were released and one of my jobs in Cairo was to deliver those arms from Tel Aviv to Tehran. Unfortunately, the first airplane in, an Argentinean CL-44 was shot down by the Russians just south of Yerevan and Mossad who was running the operation didn't want to risk sending my 707. The arms where eventually delivered through Dubai, across the Persian Gulf and directly into Tehran. During the 2 years I was in Cairo I averaged 180 hours a month with a top month of 236 hours in a 31 day period. I spent a 6 week tour in Khartoum flying cows to Saana, North Yemen in an old Rolls Royce powered 707."

The Phoenix Program did not consist of a majority of Special Forces. The parts people played were compartmentalized. ... I have posted about many of these people, but especially Alan May and William Lawrence Cassidy.

What other programs similar to the phoenix program did the CIA and/or the Defense Dept. have going on during the 60s and 70s. That was before my time.

There were certain nations in Africa and South America. Namely Rhodesia, Argentina, and some other nations, where the US gave weapons, supplies, training, provided intelligence, and political disinformation. Some have said that the School of the Americas is where they taught lessons learned from the Phoenix Program. But because of the public sentiment resultant from Vietnam, and changes in the laws, the US couldnt overtly support their chosen dictator, or anti-communist proxy.

Here is something about Operation Condor in South America. The Selous Scouts in Rhodesia have a fascinating story.

"Operation Condor (Spanish: Operación Cóndor, also known as Plan Cóndor, Portuguese: Operação Condor) was a campaign of political repression and state terror involving intelligence operations and assassination of opponents, which started in 1968 and was officially implemented in 1975 by the right-wing dictatorships of the Southern Cone of South America. The program was nominally intended to eradicate communist or Soviet influence and ideas, and to suppress active or potential opposition movements against the participating governments' neoliberal economic policies, which sought to reverse the economic policies of the previous era.[5]"

"Due to its clandestine nature, the precise number of deaths directly attributable to Operation Condor is highly disputed. Some estimates are that at least 60,000 deaths can be attributed to Condor,[8][9] and possibly more.[10] Victims included dissidents and leftists, union and peasant leaders, priests and nuns, students and teachers, intellectuals and suspected guerillas.[10] Condor's key members were the governments in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil. The United States government provided technical support and supplied military aid to the participants during the Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan administrations.[2] Such support was frequently routed through the Central Intelligence Agency. Ecuador and Peru later joined the operation in more peripheral roles.[11] These efforts, such as Operation Charly, supported the local juntas in their anti-communist repression.[12]"

I've removed EB's name from the posts above. I fully support the research that albion and everyone is doing, but because of the way that Google's organic search works and the way that people misconstrue what gets written here, I feel that it's best that we leave full names out. I feel that it's perfectly possible to present information without using a full name. I feel very strongly about people's rights with regard to privacy and keeping their names out of a serial killer case. I know I wouldn't want my name in any of our threads. This case is getting a lot more attention lately and our search rankings are improving, so I feel that this is a good time to be a little more fanatical about this than we've been in the past. Thank you everyone for understanding!

I disagree if the person has already been named in a book or newspaper article (or if the person has been convicted of a violent crime, for that matter).

IMO this message board should be highlighting and catalouging all EARONS related material that is already in the public domain, not censoring it.


A lack of information sharing has long been a big barrier to this case being solved, and people cannot complain about what's been written here if they have already been named publicly by an earlier source.

By censoring this sort of information, you're being like Mr. Sato and punishing the whole class for the behaviour of the few!

The quote below is from George Chiristie. Hell's Angel leader. He is easily researched. The picture is of Paul "Animal" Hibbits. Some people might remember him from the Altamont concert. He is the one who knocked Balin unconscious.

This post lists some of the charities that EB [name shortened by Winters], Lyman Smith, and the person who held the dinner party, had drinks with O/M, and lived across the street from D/S. I find it highly, very highly, incredibly likely, that Lyman and this person knew each other. They were both from Sacramento. They both attended Boalt Hall, although because of their age Lyman attended earlier. Both held law degrees and were very active in civic affairs. And both ended up living in the Santa Barbara/Ventura area. Lyman's son has the same middle name. And of course they share the same last name. This same person is publicly named in Shelby's book as hosting the dinner party in which O/M attended. I am in no way implying in any way that he is earons. And as far as I know he has never been considered a POI. And yes, as others have stated, he is "presumably" innocent, but the connections between the three sets of victims should be commented upon. 


“I made myself a nice sign that I lettered myself and I still have it....’EB [name shortened by Winters], Attorney at Law,’ and it was a foot and a half long and two inches high, and I was very proud of that,” he said in an interview for the California Appellate Court Legacy Project. It was the start of what would become a long and successful career.

As well as maintaining his private practice, he served as judge in the Ventura County Justice Court. In 1968 he was elected to serve as a Municipal Court judge in Ventura County, but before his term began he was appointed by then Governor Ronald Reagan to the Superior Court. In 1973, Reagan appointed him to the California Court of Appeal with presiding judge Lester Roth, assistant presiding judge Macklin Fleming, and Lynn “Buck” Compton. He also sat on “pro-tem” on occasion for the California Supreme Court. In 1989 he was honored by the Ventura County Bar Association as the first recipient of the Ben E. Nordman Humanitarian Award.

In Santa Paula, he immersed himself in civic life as well as the law. At various times he served on the boards of trustees of the Santa Paula Memorial Hospital, the Blanchard Community Library, the Santa Paula Historical Society, and the founding boards of the Ventura County Symphony and Santa Clara Valley Bank. He was a member of the Santa Paula Rotary Club, and when his 1973 appointment to the Appellate Court made attending its regular Monday lunch meetings impossible, he was made an honorary member. He was frequently called to speak at Memorial Day observances and civic events. One Santa Paula native recalled that he had been the commencement speaker at both her junior high and high school graduations. He and wife Janet were jointly awarded the Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce’s Citizen of the Year award. Their home was the site for countless fundraisers, parties, and concerts for local community groups. With many friends from widely diverse backgrounds wanting to shake hands and chat, a one-block downtown walk could become an hour-long event."
 


"From 1958 to 1961, he served on the Santa Paula Justice Court, a now-defunct court that heard everything from divorces to lease violations to parking tickets. The court shared space with the agricultural building.

EB [name shortened by Winters] served on Ventura County Superior Court from 1968 to 1973 and the state Court of Appeal from 1973 to 1987.

He loved the law, according to his children, but he also loved his life on the 6 acres where the EB family [name shortened by Winters] raised their family on the edge of Santa Paula, a city he loved his entire life.

"It was charming and much like the 'Twilight Zone' series," EB [name shortened by Winters] said in the transcript. "Rod Serling often wanted to capture the peace and quiet of a small town and it always looked like Santa Paula."

He also was a tireless volunteer at the Santa Paula Hospital and Blanchard Community Library, and a longtime member of the Santa Paula Rotary Club. But not a great piano player, said daughter JB [name shortened by Winters], 55, of San Diego."

HISTORY
The Cosmopolitan Club was organized in 1949 by Chester T. Price, founder, organizer, and first President. Prior to his death in 1984, "Chet" Price told of the steps which led to its founding, as excerpted below:

"After concluding that Santa Barbara had need of a luncheon club, composed entirely of professional and business men, I invited such men to attend a luncheon meeting, at the Barbara Hotel, on June 21, 1949. Forty-four men attended that meeting. This Club was formally organized on July 21, 1949".

"I served as president for the first year, and declined re-election because I believed the officers should rotate. I confess to being proud that this Club has become a better and better Club in each successive year. And for that we are indebted to the administrations which followed mine".

" This club is a monument to all of the officers, directors, and committee members, who have given of their time and ability in the succeeding years, to make it the unique and outstanding organization that it is today."

"Lyman at one point was one of the close-knit “Young Turks” who as worked as attorneys for EB [name shortened by Winters].EB [name shortened by Winters] met Smith when he was a deputy prosecutor. “I had some cases where I opposed him and after that he asked if he could come work for me,” said EB [name shortened by Winters]. “Lyman moved to Santa Paula and started right in.”Start right in he did: Lyman was President of the Rotary Club where he was known for a heavy hand on the gavel, leading to joshing about his becoming a judge in the future.Heavily involved in Democratic politics,"

You said:  Lyman's son has the same middle name. This is not true.  [comments deleted, by Drifter]

Lyman was always interested in politics by the way. So why the paragraph about him from Shelby's book?   Here is a reminder of just some of what people said about Lyman Robert Smith the murder victim:  “He was a genuine credit to his profession” said Edwin F. Beach, a former law partner, and now an appellate court justice. “It’s a tragic loss to the profession.”

“He was a highly competent attorney” said Drescher, (also a partner). “He was uniformly respected by his peers and he was uniformly liked” “He was a terrific and capable guy.”
Lewis (a neighbor) said “He was an excellent attorney.” “He was someone who never lost his temper.” “He had good judgment and an ability to get along with people.”
Superior Court Judge Steven Stone, a former law partner and one of Smith’s closest friends said “Lyman was highly thought of by the bench, bar and clients.” “He was a genuine credit to his profession.” “He was a remarkably able lawyer it’s a real loss to the legal community.”  Lyman wanted to be involved in the community he lived in and wanted to help via Rotary and other community groups.  His inspiration was a long line of family members who had come before him who wanted to give back by way of The Shriners, who have the Shriners Children's Hospitals and other worthwhile causes.  His father was extremely active with this organization as well as his church.  I am simply asking why are you focusing on Lyman?  And what exactly do you think a connection might be? A (REAL) connection?  Is this how you think the story goes?  I can see you have researched this over time so I am asking what is the bottom line about what you think happened and why did you post all of the above information? (I like knowing that after much research has been done) Thanks.

Thank you for your post Findons. You hit the nail right on the head, though you think I missed it. The middle name is the same, and you just corroborated it. But watch what happens to your post in a short while. And then you might understand about your request for proof.

You are missing the key figure in this message, because he has been edited out. And I assume some of the names in your post will be edited out soon. It is not my choice. It is a decision by the moderators and it was addressed by sammyt in a post above. LE, and most of the posters want to focus on the details of the crimes, and then translate those details into unimportant poi's. When the motives and connections move the case in a different direction. And even though I admire Q's attention to detail, and Dr Doogie's thoughtfulness and common sense approach to the case, and Morf's thorough searches, I think they will always come up empty. I can go on to more detail about why the OCDA's office doesnt want it solved. Or the IPD, or the Ventura's Sheriffs, or the Sac LE.

It has to do with smuggling, guns and drugs. Much like PAT, earons also committed crimes for his own reasons. And the murders of Witthuhn and Cruz show this to be the case.

This excerpt is one of my favorite examples.

It is funny that Riconosciuto, PAT, and Cassidy have a small circle of attorneys they kept back then. Riconosciuto particularly names the attorney mentioned below as his attorney back in 1982. PAT had Alan May and Harland Braun. And Cassidy worked for May and then also Oscar Goodman. That's some high profile attorneys for such a group.

It really seems that PAT, Abbott, and Riconosciuto were really doing jobs for the CIA back then.

Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, Donald R. Wager, has been successfully representing lawyers, medical professionals, and Hollywood celebrities for over 30 years!

Sex Crimes
Sex crimes are considered illegal sex acts, as defined by state and government legislation. In California, the majority of sex crimes are considered felonies, which means that a conviction can result in over a year of jail time for the offender. Once a person is charged with a sex crime, he/she will be subject to in-depth investigations by law enforcement. These investigations can be lengthy and may violate the privacy of the accused and his/her family. For this reason, any person who has been charged with a sexual offense should not hesitate to obtain the services of a qualified criminal defense lawyer.

Legal penalties for a sex crime conviction vary, and will depend upon several factors such as: the age of the victim, the age of the offender, the type of crime committed, and the offender’s prior criminal history. A sex crime conviction can lead to imprisonment, fines, community service, parole, probation, and court ordered counseling. Additionally, convicted sexual offenders must list them selves on the California Sex Offender Registry for the rest of their lives.

Facts.
    Riconosciuto's father was friends with Nixon.
    PAT and Cassidy, worked for Alan May, who worked for Health, Education, Welfare under Nixon.
    Robert Booth Nichols took orders from Carlucci, via Driscoll, who was undersecretary of Health, Education, Welfare.
    All were staunchly anti-communist, right wing, almost fanatical. 
    
People need to be comparing Driscoll to the other attorneys that these men sought help from. And people should be considering that Lyman Smith might have had a similar association in his role at Maverick Air. With guys like Peagram and Hetrick involved it is foolish not to.

Believe it or not, this is also another connection to the Vicki Morgan murder.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Beyond his populist policies that threatened nationalization of US subsidies, Goulart was seen by Washington as “soft on
communism” and “pro-Castro,” indictments enough to spell his doom and put in place right-wing military dictators who
would outlaw any political or union dissent for years. As a consequence of the military coup and its entrenchment, Carlucci
gained a reputation as a “tough-guy” with the American Defense Attach? in Brazil, Colonel Vernon Walters. By the end of
the 1960s Carlucci had returned to Washington to become part of Nixon Administration, going from the Office of Economic
Opportunity in 1969-71 to the Office of Management and Budget in 1971-72. He then was appointed Under Secretary of
Health, Education, and Welfare from 1972-74. Among the other key members of these departments of domestic
pacification were Caspar Weinberger, who was a Carlucci mentor, and Donald Rumsfeld, a former college buddy and
wrestling mate from Princeton. Both Weinberger and Rumsfeld would later become, as would Carlucci, Secretaries of
Defense. The bureaucratic imperatives honed in these cabinet positions would further underscore the primacy of military
Keynesianism in governmental policy. After so many positions as an underling and gray bureaucrat, Carlucci burst onto
the explosive stage of post-revolutionary Portugal as Ambassador. With the approval of CIA Deputy Director Vernon
Walters and Henry Kissinger, Carlucci began immediately to ferret out potential communist sympathizers among the left-
leaning young military officers who helped foment the revolutionary coup in Portugal in 1974.

His State Department assignments took him to South Africa, the Congo, Zanzibar, and Brazil between 1957 and 1969. He
left the State Department in 1969 to join the Office of Economic Opportunity as assistant director, and moved up to director
late in 1970. He then became associate director and deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget (1971-72)
and under secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (1972-74). At both places he worked under
Caspar Weinberger.

This is from the interview of Robert Booth Nichols. Associate of Riconosciuto, PAT.
Q
Who is Frank Xavier Driscoll?
A
Francis Xavier Driscoll.
Q
What is his employment?
A
He is an attorney. He represented
himself to be a member of U.S. intelligence.
Q
What branch of U.S. intelligence?
A
I believe he would be with the
Central Intelligence Agency, but I have no way of
verifying background.
Q
Why do you believe he is with the
CIA?
A
Because most of the time in
conversation that he had around me were with Frank
Carlucci who was with the CIA.
Q
How do you know Frank Carlucci was
with the CIA?
A
Because I read it.
Q
Where did you read it?
A
In various documents that had seals
on them and little eagles on them and little
things on them that say CIA. And his name was
involved in the body or in the body of the
document.
Q
Where did you obtain these
documents?
A
I didn't obtain them. I read them.
Q
Where did you read them?
A
Various files on briefings and
things that I read that I looked at it. I read it
and I saw the names on them.
Q
Is it fair to say Frank Carlucci
gave you some documents with little eagles on them
and from that you inferred that he worked at the
CIA?
A
No, I said Francis Driscoll gave me
the documents and Frank Carlucci 's name was in the
body of the documents.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Q
Harry Fair, what was his connection
to military intelligence, if any?
A
He was more ordinance oriented in
the intelligence field. He was with tactical
technology, Arlington, Virginia also DARPA.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
THE CIA
Such successful machinations in Portugal earned Carlucci a position as Deputy Director of the CIA in the Carter
Administration from 1978-1981. When insurgent forces in Iran and Nicaragua in 1979 toppled the Shah and Somoza
dictatorships, Carlucci and the CIA had little ability to control the upheavals even though there were various clandestine
efforts to thwart the revolutionary forces in these countries. On the other hand, the CIA certainly played a significant role in
sponsoring anti-Soviet Mujaheddin in Afghanistan, perhaps even suckering the Soviets into their disastrous campaign in
Afghanistan.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Carlucci: Well, what happened is that Henry Kissinger was Secretary of State and he didn’t like his ambassador to
Portugal. He thought he was too soft on the Communists. The Communists had virtually taken over the country. The
President was a Communist sympathizer, the Prime Minister was an out and out Communist and the ambassador, at least
in Henry’s eyes, was weak. So he fired him and for reasons that are still unclear to me, I was plucked out of the
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and shot over to Portugal out of a cannon.
Smith: Really?

Interesting, albion.

"There is a branch of mathematics called "knot theory". It deals with one-dimensional fibers crossing in 3-space, ... Daily jobs in older eras touch abstract math ..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------

... a little off the subject of "knots", but relevant to your mention of math ...

To me it's fascinating how abstract mathematics can be applied to everyday events, including this East Area Rapist / Original Night Stalker case.

For example, the entire case can be thought of as animated algebra, and expressed as a multivariate equation, where "Y" = identity of EAR/ONS. Then all the "X's" are the various "factors" that determine Y, so that ...

Y = Xsub1, Xsub2, Xsub3, Xsub4, ... XsubN ; or rather Y = Sigma X, from 1 to n.

I'm sure that's so obvious as to seem rinky-dink. But it is true, and I'd be curious to know if there were any other more complex equations that one could use in this EAR/ONS case.

The math is fascinating to me still. I have been thinking about the Zodiac case as well. There seemed to be so many prime numbers popping up in the cases. And I was wondering, the bomb drawings, could they be considered an algorithm as well? I love the idea of the I/O and a mirror image copy to place in some old code. What was so important about the numbers 3, 13, 17, and 47? It would be a hell of a good way to deliver a ransom, if extortion was a motive.

This is all so fascinating!. If I missed it somewhere, would they have Cassidy's DNA on file in Ca.? And let's say he was earons, would the various agencies even say so? His description is right on with witness descriptions. But I suppose many others are also.

From what I have read, CA doesnt have his DNA. The military should have his fingerprints, but if what they say about his military/intelligence service is true, I doubt the military would want to disclose them.

According to the excerpt I attached, Cassidy offered to murder an ex-husband. And while in Las Vegas working for Oscar Goodman, it is said he openly bragged about killing people.

I wonder if not earons, then what about the Norcal rapist, or the hammer man, or the murders around Ft Bragg and the Washington DC areas. If he really did kill people, who were they?

If there were to be a continued struggle against communist Vietnam, against the weak liberals in the US, and it was being funded by the smuggling of drugs into the US, I think by looking at some of Alan May's clients, it would point in the right direction.
