The Octopus
The Cabazon Native Americans were a small tribe with less than 20 members back in the day.. they were very poor, had no running water or electricity. John P Nichols approached them and promised to help them if he could take over the tribe and they let him. His motives were not to help them but because the reservation was sovereign he knew he could get away with multiple black ops programs without the same laws as say, a regular city.
He ruled there by keeping the tribe in fear, formed a joint partnership with Wackenhut and started doing things like arms deals, drug deals, the Iran-contra affair, October Surprise, the Promis(e) software modifications (inslaw affiar), money laundering, human traffickin etc.
Fred found out about what was going on.. confronted JP Nichols and was told to back off. He approached my dad and told him of what was going on-he wrote Ronald Reagan who was about to run for president or already had announced that he was running to let him know of his concerns. Reagan wrote him back IN DETAIL about October Surprise and other black ops programs. At that point either Fred or both my dad and Fred (I’m not sure cause I was only 13) broke into JP Nichols office and either took or copied paperwork proving everything.
Fred then went to the Desert Sun (a local newspaper) and told them that the government was abusing Indian land and told them he was afraid he would be killed.. My dad and Fred were supposed to meet with someone about all of this on July 1 1981 to turn over the paperwork and were found dead that day.. all paperwork gone.
My dad did tell me the last time I saw him that him and Fred (who I considered an uncle) were trying to stop bad guys.
