              INSLAW CASE GETS DEEPER AND UNCOVERS MORE `BODIES'

     When  Michael J.  Riconoscuito signed his affidavit  implicating  the
   U.S.   Justice Department in the theft and pirating of INSLAW's  PROMIS
   software, he opened a can of worms that may never go away. Riconoscuito
   revealed in his affidavit that the CIA, U.S. Justice Department and the
   FBI  all had links to the Cabazon Indians and to John  Phillip  Nichols
   and  that  the  Indian reservation in Indio,  California,   was  linked
   directly  to  the Contras.  Those links resulted in the death  of  many
   people.

     Riconoscuito  also  warned in his affidavit that he was going  to  be
   arrested  if  he  cooperated with a U.S.  Congressional  probe  of  the
   Justice Department involving the pirated software. Within eight days of
   signing the affidavit,  like clock work,  Riconoscuito was arrested and
   held  without  bail  for the U.S.  Marshal.  But not  to  be  thwarted,
   investigators  from  the  Congressional  Judiciary  Committee  met  and
   interviewed Riconoscuito.

     Riconoscuito's statements,  however,  have sparked a new inquiry into
   the  entire  Wackenhut-Cabazon  Indian  joint  venture  and  additional
   coverups  by  the  U.S.  Government over the  stolen  software,   money
   laundering, Mafia ties and illegal shipments to the Contras. It was the
   U.S.  Justice Department that warned Riconocuito not to speak out.  His
   statements  have  also  launched  an  investigation  into  the  pirated
   software by the Canadian Government, as well.

     One Indian and two companions who protested against the manufacturing
   of  military equipment--including chemical and biological  warfare--the
   alteration of the PROMIS software,  and shipments to the Contras,  were
   murdered execution style.  The man who was used to transport the  blood
   money  from CIA operatives and the killers,  has fled the country,  but
   not before providing video taped testimony on the murders.

     Implicated in the entire Wackenhut-Cabazon Justice Department affair,
   was a man called John Phillip Nichols. Nichols took over the Bingo Hall
   and  later  the reservation.  The Cabazon Indians  are  an  independent
   nation.

     Nichols,   who  has  been linked to  Jimmy  Hoffa  and  assassination
   attempts of Fidel Castro and Salvador Allende,  has strong Mafia  ties.
   He has been convicted of soliciting murder.

     Linda Streeter,  the sister of Alfred Alvarez, the slain Indian,  has
   asked  the  California  Department  of  Justice  to  assign  a  special
   prosecution  unit  to  investigate the case.  The  information  on  the
   murders has been forwarded to the Congressional Judiciary Committee now
   probing the U.S. Justice Department.

     The  Riverside  County Grand Jury and the Riverside  County  District
   Attorney's Office have extensive testimony on the murders.

     Even  20/20   has  done a segment on the Indian involvement  and  the
   murders.   Nichols  is the one who persuaded the  U.S.   Government  to
   provide the Cabazon Indians with military and security equipment.

     Nichols'  ties are oulined on page 304 of "Inside Job--the Looting of
   America's Savings and Loans"  by Stephen Pizzo,  Mary Fricker and  Paul
   Muolo.

     "At  San Marino Savings in Southern California we heard about a major
   borrower,   G.   Wayne Reeder (who also attempted a  couple  of  failed
   ventures  with  Herman  Beebee),   meeting in late  1981   at  an  arms
   demonstration with Raul Arana and Eden Pastora, Contra leaders who were
   considering buying military equipment from Reeder's Indian bingo-parlor
   partner,   Dr.   John Nichols.  Among the equipment  were  night-vision
   goggles  manufactured  by Litton Industries and a  light  machine  gun.
   Nichols,  according to former Reeder employees and published  accounts,
   had  a  plan  in  the early 1980's to build a munitions  plant  on  the
   Cabazon  Indian  reservation  near Palm  Springs  in  partnership  with
   Wackenhut,  a Florida security firm. The plan fell through. Nichols was
   a  self-described CIA veteran of assassination attempts against  Castro
   in  Cuba  and  Allende in Chile.  Authorities said he  was  a  business
   associate of members of the Los Angeles Mafia.  He was later  convicted
   in an abortive murder-for- hire scheme and sentenced."

     The  intertwining  mess of the U.S.  Justice Department,  FBI,   CIA,
   former Attorney General Edwin Meese,  Dr. Earl Brian,  a  former Reagan
   California   Cabinet   member,   and  the  Federal  Bankruptcy   Courts
   demonstrates  a  broad  stroke  of  corruption  throughout  the  higher
   echelons of government. Today, a  Congressional Committee is attempting
   to  sort  everything  out--but a Senate Committee once tried  the  same
   thing and was totally thwarted when the U.S. Justice Department refused
   to cooperate.

     We  have,   in the past year,  examined the  CIA-Contras-Nazi-Banking
   connections,   the CIA-Justice Department-Bankruptcy Court connections,
   and the CIA-Mafia-Drug connections. It is a never ending story.
