SUBJECT: BO GRITZ SAYS....                                   FILE: UFO2667





   Editor:

     I've served  most  of  my  adult life  as  an  intelligence operative
   (Intelligence  Officer,  Delta Force;  Commander,  Special  Operations,
   Viet-Nam:   Commander Special Forces,  Latin America;  Principal Agent,
   NSC-ISA). Unlike William Cooper, I can prove this identity. I have been
   a Pilot for more than 30  years.  My assignments have taken me all over
   the globe including Africa,  Asia,  Middle East, Latin America,  et al.
   Much  of  this time has been spent out in the open under the stars.   I
   have  never witnessed a UFO in the classic saucer sense,  but I believe
   they exist nevertheless (Even Jimmy Carter says so).  While in England,
   enroute  to  Bangladesh,  I  bought and read Above Top  Secret,   which
   strengthened my personal convictions.

     This  past month the Association of Former Intelligence Officers  and
   National  Intelligence  Counter Intelligence Association  included  UFO
   reports  (Belgian  Air  Force Colonel Wilfried de  Brouwer)   in  their
   monthly INSUMS (Intelligence Summaries).

     As a Chemical, Biological, Nuclear trained officer, I know that "the"
   government lied about gassing sheep in Montana with GB-Agent, infecting
   San Francisco with a virus, and the proposed use of underground nuclear
   demolitions  to construct a new canal in Nicaragua.  They denied  Frank
   Powers U-2 over Russia, SR-71, and Stealth.  Why wouldn't they cover-up
   UFOs (classic or otherwise)?

     I obviously don't know much about flying saucers,  even though I have
   more than a dozen friends,  including pilots,  who are eye witnesses to
   UFO sightings. I  know a lot more about people and I certainly know the
   intelligence system. I have examined military records on Bill Cooper. I
   have  spoken with him and listened to him on telephone  recorded  audio
   tape. I feel compelled to add my opinion to that of George Knapp, Ed De
   Mar and others.  I  am absolutely convinced that Cooper is a charlatan.
   There  is  no  doubt  that he  has  information  concerning  government
   coverup,    which  is  easily  vacuumed  from  the  presentations   and
   publications of others.

     When  I  retumed  from  Burma's Golden  Triangle  with  videotape  of
   overlord  Khun Sa accusing U.S.  officials of being his best customers,
   Cooper started saying that drugs were funding the secret government UFO
   campaign.

     Only God and Cooper know if he actually observed a UFO,  but I  don't
   buy  his story about being a part of Naval Intelligence.  I  have a Top
   Secret  Crypto clearance with access to Special Intelligence,  which is
   clearly  imprinted on my records.  None of the Cooper file shows him to
   have  these  basic intelligence clearances,  without which he would  be
   denied access to classified materials.

     I  also  have  been granted coded clearances which  open  doors  when
   combined with a "need to know"  to highly selected ''compartments''  of
   information. If Cooper were real, he would have long ago referenced the
   proper codes that deal with information he says was available to him. I
   believe  Bill  Cooper  is  a fraud.  There is  enough  wrong  with  the
   government.   Cooper types only hurt honest efforts to gain truth.  His
   fare would be more accurately billed as ''entertainment.''

     As Chief of Special Activities on the Army General Staff, I regularly
   briefed the U.S. Army Chief of Staff and the other generals. I know and
   have  experience working with Admiral Isaac Kidd (former  Commander  in
   Chief, Atlantic) and his staff.

     There  were  no  enlisted men on the "briefing  team."   Field  grade
   officers  (Major  and  up)  normally furnish information to  these  key
   decision makers. Classifed information is carefully guarded, especially
   the compartmented information that Cooper refers to.

     Without the proper coded access and a need to know, you don't get in!

     I  don't buy Bill's "testing"  the government by mixing up code names
   (Majestic  vis  Majority).   Every time  someone  produces  information
   contradicting  Cooper,  he changes,  adds to,  or reveals  yet  another
   personal revelation he read in the cloaked documents way back when. St.
   John should have had such access.  Cooper has more twists than a snake.
   He  is also dangerous.  I  listened to a telephone answer tape  wherein
   Cooper badgered,  bribed,  threatened, cried,  and then later allegedly
   slashed the tires on a man's car.

     Cooper talks and acts like a number of other fakes I know.  They seem
   to want someone,  anyone, to do anything that might threaten them since
   to be that important would enhance their own self-image. In the absence
   of  real  threats  they conjure them up.  I   don't  begrudge  whatever
   popularity or success he may garner- that is show biz. But I do feel he
   is hurting the credibility and honesty of sincere researchers at a time
   when  we  are facing a true peril from within.  The  secret  government
   needs  to  be  exposed and expunged before it turns  us  into  economic
   slaves  through King George's "New World Order.''  Cooperites dull  our
   cutting edge of truth. I exhort William Cooper to stop his Bush-lip and
   focus his energy and resources on unmasking the real villains.

     This is the first time I have written a letter to the editor. Strange
   that with all that is going on,  it would be to a publication I haven't
   read, about a person I hope-if there are ETs-will soon be beamed up.

     Please  send  me info on your magazine.   It wasn't on  our  Pentagon
   reading list, but maybe it should be.
