It’s a nice story, but it’s a lie.
In September 1975, Dominic Amorosa personally led the federal prosecution of Frank Lucas – a hardcore heroin kingpin – and 18 co-defendants.
Imagine his surprise when the film American Gangster was released, and it not only portrayed Lucas as some kind of antihero – but it showed the arrest of Lucas as being accomplished by New Jersey law enforcement authorities, when, in fact, it was it was DEA, together with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which apprehended, prosecuted and tried Frank Lucas and his suppliers.
Further – American Gangster goes on to portray a vicious and brutal search, indicates that the officers involved were associated with New York City’s Special Investigations Unit (which was admittedly corrupt, but had long since been disbanded), that Frank Lucas smuggled in heroin in the coffins of dead Vietnam G.I.s, and, finally, states that 3/4 of New York DEA agents were prosecuted for corruption as a result of Lucas’ testimony – none of which never happened.
These are but a few of the outright fabrications in American Gangster. And Dominic Amorosa is but one of the folks who are not content to sit back and watch it happen.
Tonight, Mike and Mark speak with yet another front-line guest, to get the REAL story about the Frank Lucas investigation and prosecution – and defend some honest law enforcement folks in the process.
About the Guest:
From 1972 through 1974, Dominic Amorosa was an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of New Jersey where he prosecuted numerous criminal cases.
From 1974 through September 1981, Mr. Amorosa was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York where for several years he was assigned to the Fraud Unit. He later became Chief of the Narcotics Unit from 1979 to 1980 and Chief of the Organized Crime Unit from 1980 to 1981.
From September 1981 to the present, Mr. Amorosa has been in private practice specializing in complex litigation cases.
He also represents Gregory Korniloff, a former New York City DEA Agent. Mr. Korniloff was the case agent for DEA on Lucas’ federal case and personally participated in the search of Lucas’ house conducted in January 1975 pursuant to a valid federal search warrant, and the arrest of Lucas on that same day. During this search $585,000.00 in currency was seized, which was later physically introduced into evidence during Lucas’ federal criminal trial in the Southern District of New York in September 1975.

The Most Important Whistleblower in American History.
When I first wrote DEEP COVER, I was called by government insiders “DEA’s Daniel Ellsberg.”
At the time I was upset and confused, mainly due to the negative image in which mainstream media had cast this heroic man.
I now wear that title as a badge of honor, in spite of knowing that whatever it is that I did pales next to the risks this man ran to adhere to his oath to protect the people of this nation and their constitution. The number of young American and Vietnamese lives he saved by hastening the end of that “war” is incalculable.
So, it was with great pleasure and gratitude that I was afforded the experience of recording a heart-to-heart conversation with this man, and presenting it to our listening audience – at a time in our history that his words are needed more than ever.

About the guest:
 Daniel Ellsberg is a former American military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation who precipitated a national uproar in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. military’s account of activities during the Vietnam War, to The New York Times.
Ellsberg, the son of Jewish parents with a passion for Christian Science, grew up in Detroit and attended Cranbrook Kingswood School, then attended Harvard University, graduating with a Ph.D. in Economics in 1959 in which he described a paradox in decision theory now known as the Ellsberg paradox. He served as a company commander in the Marine Corps for two years, and then became an analyst at the RAND Corporation. A committed Cold Warrior, he served in the Pentagon in 1964 under Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. He then served for two years in Vietnam as a civilian in the State Department, and became convinced that the Vietnam War was unwinnable. He further believed that nearly everyone in the Defense and State Departments felt, as he did, that the United States had no realistic chance of achieving victory in Vietnam, but that political considerations prevented them from saying so publicly. McNamara and others continued to state in press interviews that victory was “just around the corner.” As the war continued to escalate, Ellsberg became deeply disillusioned.

“This is the most dangerous man I have ever met.
We cannot let this man out on the street.”
—Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, 1997
In the years leading to the 9/11 attacks, no single agent of al Qaeda was more successful in compromising the U.S. intelligence community than Ali Mohamed. A former Egyptian army captain, Mohamed succeeded in infiltrating the CIA in Europe, the Green Berets at Fort Bragg, and the FBI in California—even as he helped to orchestrate the al Qaeda campaign of terror that culminated in 9/11. As investigative reporter Peter Lance demonstrates in this gripping narrative, senior U.S. law enforcement officials—including the now-celebrated U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who personally interviewed Mohamed long before he was brought to ground—were powerless to stop him. In the annals of espionage, few men have moved between the hunters and the hunted with as much audacity as Ali Mohamed. For almost two decades, the former Egyptian army commando succeeded in living a double life. Brazenly slipping past watch lists, he moved in and out of the U.S. with impunity, marrying an American woman, becoming a naturalized citizen, and posing as an FBI informant—all while acting as chief of security for Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Known to his fellow terrorists as Ali Amiriki, or “Ali the American,” Mohamed gained access to the most sensitive intelligence in the U.S. counterterrorism arsenal while brokering terror summits, planning bombing missions, and training jihadis in bomb building, assassination, the creation of sleeper cells, and other acts of espionage.Building on the investigation he first chronicled in his previous books, 1000 Years for Revenge and Cover Up, Lance uses Mohamed to trace the untold story of al Qaeda’s rise in the 1980s and 1990s. Incredibly, Mohamed, who remains in custodial witness protection today, has never been sentenced for his crimes. He exists under a veil of secrecy—a living witness to how the U.S. intelligence community was outflanked for years by the terror network. From his first appearance on the FBI’s radar in 1989—training Islamic extremists on Long Island—to his presence in the database of Operation Able Danger eighteen months before 9/11, this devious triple agent was the one terrorist they had to sweep under the rug. Filled with news-making revelations, Triple Cross exposes the incompetence and duplicity of the FBI and Justice Department before 9/11 . . . and raises serious questions about how many more secrets the Feds may still be hiding.

An update from the author of “Osama’s Revenge”
How close are we really to Nuclear Terror?
What does specific hard intelligence tell us are the probabilities of nuclear terror…soon?
What are Osama’s stated plans?
Why hasn’t it happened yet?
Are we less prepared then we were on September 10, 2001?
What role does media ineptitude and/or lack of expertise in covering our intelligence agencies play in our lack of preparedness?
What role does the publication of phony war-on-terror “victory” stories claimed by FBI and CIA, by mainstream, play in keeping us dozing, while the dark clouds of nuclear terror draw closer?
The war on terror has become a household subject since the attacks on September 11, 2001. In reality, the jihad against America did not happen overnight. It has been coming for quite some time. Paul Williams’ The Dunces of Doomsday documents ten blunders that resulted in an invigorated radical Islam, terrorism worldwide, and the coming “American Hiroshima.”
PAUL L. WILLIAMS, Ph.D., is a journalist and the author of The Al Qaeda Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime, and the Coming Apocalypse; The Vatican Exposed: Money, Murder, and the Mafia; and Osama’s Revenge: The Next 9/11–What the Media and the Government Haven’t Told You. He has served as a consultant for the FBI, as editor and publisher of the Metro in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and as an adjunct professor of humanities at the University of Scranton.

 Marc Levin has already won almost every award there is for his documentary film and movie making. His film Blowback, done in the mid 1990s is without a doubt, the most prescient film about CIA’s heavy-handed, fraternity boyish meddling in world politics and the price Americans have had to pay in “blowback” When 9-11 finally did happen, it was no surprise.
Now Marc and his team focus their investigative efforts on THE PROTOCOLS OF ZION. A fictional propaganda creation presenting a Zionist conspiracy to take over the world, as a “Historical” document.
The POZ was created by the Russian Czarist secret service in the early 1900′s, in order to garner public support for the then ongoing murderous “pogroms” (rapes and murders) of Eastern European Jewery.
Astoundingly, to some, the “Protocols of Zion” is still a worldwide best seller, even available at Walmart’s. Marc Levin and crew have spent the last year investigating the effects of “the lie that won’t die” on all of us. The film “The Protocols of Zion” can be seen on Cinemax, and Cinemax on Demand.

The Blonde who dropped the bombshell….
Katharine Gun, called “the blonde who dropped the bombshell on Tony Blair” by the British press, was jailed under the Official Secrets act when she outed a top secret USA/UK plan to coerce the United Nations vote in favor of invading Iraq by bugging the communications of individual members of the United Nations Security Council .
Then the charges were mysteriously dropped.
Hear the incredible inside story yourself from the woman who now proudly calls herself a Whistleblower.
In 1999, Tosh Plumlee came on these airwaves and did five hours of interviews, detailing his history of flying drugs into the United States as part of a drug interdiction program.
This is the first of those five hours.
Unfortunately, the audio is very low quality – it was pulled from an 8k realAudio stream dating back from 1999.
At some point in the near future, we’ll pull the original audio and update these files. But in the meantime, here it is.
And as Mike says in this broadcast – this is one of the most important broadcasts we’ve ever done.
