Cocaine production, demand and sales has become an increasing problem in the Western Hemisphere. Motivation to purchase this narcotic by dealers, despite its high prices, and their capability to get the processed product to eager end buyers, has caused a high volume of illegal trafficking. Mexico, in particular, has been deluged by a severe intensive drug war. Because of the many deaths resulting from this conflict, that county now maintains the unenviable position as the number one nation in our hemisphere attempting to cope with severe cocaine problems. The nation of Colombia experienced this highly undesirable situation back in tee 19905. Pablo Escobar, that country's drug king, became 50 powerful, that at times he virtually ruled the nation. But this power eventually became his undoing. Right-wing opponents from the Las Pepes death squads killed him in 1993. Although, Colombia became more stable after that occurrence, a left wing organization emerged to take on the right's counter activities. They are known as the Farqs, They are still able to maintain a hold on the power involved with cocaine. Concerning DEALING WITH THE DEVIL, Jack Broderick, the CIA station Chief in Peru, earns his keep by impeding the drug influences mentioned above. He does an amazing job by enlisting a hard boiled agent, Brian Koltai, from the U.S. Together, they prevent another costly war from occurring in the Andes like the one that had taken place twenty years earlier.

Los Huerfanos takes its readers on a frantic journey, with rest stops in Baku, Azerbaijan; Tehran, Iran; Reynosa, Mexico; Cuchara, Colorado; deep south Texas, and a remote village at the base of Shirkuh mountain in eastern Iran.

Iran�s Revolutionary Guard assassinates the president of Iran and plans a desperate attempt to destabilize the United States by forging a deadly alliance with a Mexican drug cartel. With Iran�s leadership in political turmoil, ultra-extremists exert their influence and rush to finalize the first Iranian nuclear weapon. Fortunately for the United States, a mid-level Iranian official is a deep under-cover mole who provides vital information (at an agonizing personal cost) to the United States� CIA and to Israel�s Mossad.

Steve Curry finds himself on West Peak, staring into a crashed, vintage World War II DC-3 aircraft, which happens to be carrying $100 million of U.S. currency. He later learns that the cash was on its way to a Mexican drug cartel as part of a shocking scheme to develop a gateway across the Mexico�U.S. border, which would allow al-Qaeda extremists to enter the United States undetected.

Fortunately Steve knows none of this as he waits on West Peak for reinforcements to arrive. He�s been instructed to hide the unexpected cargo of cash until the CIA decides what to do with it. An elite Army combat team arrives and, having determined that there are no bad guys sharing the mountain with them, set out on a risky night time excursion to �deposit� the mysterious cash in a hidden mountain vault. Even without bad guys, though, the night time journey delivers its own nightmare for the heavily armed caravan.

On the other side of the world and in another time, the CIA and the Mossad work feverishly to extract the Iranian mole, who wishes to defect with his family as Iran dissolves into chaos after the Shah is deposed in 1979. Circumstances and plain old bad luck prevent Razzi, the Iranian mole, from leaving. He�s searching for his 13 year old daughter, who goes missing just before the family is scheduled to leave for the airport. Razzi believes that government agents have kidnapped her in an effort to make sure that Razzi doesn�t leave the country. He stays behind to find her, beginning a life-long odyssey of searching and self-recriminations. His wife and their three other children make it to Amman, Jordan just in time. But they become trapped in a hell hole masquerading as a refugee camp.

After the U.S. Army team and Steve hide the cash near West Peak, the CIA launches a brazen attempt to intervene even further into the Iran-Mexican plot to destabilize the United States. If successful, the plan will poison future transactions between Iran and the cartel and possibly trigger severe repercussions for both sides of the nefarious collaboration. Steve Curry ends up right in the middle of the subterfuge at great risk to himself.

An even greater risk lurks inside Iran�s own dysfunctional leadership. The CIA learns that Chinese nuclear scientists are assisting Iran with their plans to develop Iran�s first nuclear weapon. The CIA scrambles to find a way to counter the Iranian/Chinese joint efforts at fulfilling Iran�s nuclear ambitions.

Razzi continues to provide the CIA with important information from his position within Iran�s government. With his help the CIA uncovers al-Qaeda�s shocking and brilliant plan to smuggle al-Qaeda fighters into the United States through Mexico. If successful, the carnage and destruction will dwarf the devastating attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11. The CIA and the U.S. Army realize that they must bury their mutual mistrust of each other and work together to try and counter the planned attacks.

The U.S. Army has only a few days to ramp up and train troops for their bold counter attack to obstruct al-Qaeda�s plan. The multi-faceted U.S. plot, if successful, will cripple the Mexican drug cartels and possibly destroy al-Qaeda.

Tag Reider’s life was supposed to be simple after his retirement of 21 years in the Military Intelligence Service. But his past comes back to haunt him. A cave that Tag discovers in Cimarron, New Mexico, while a teenager working on a ranch, and plans to revisit, becomes the focal point and hideout for a cell of terrorists. They are out to spread deadly HCN gas over a group of military and CIA’s top officials. But first they must eliminate Tag; he is the only other person who knows the location of the cave. After an attempt on his life by the terrorists, Tag gets involved with the CIA, who uses him on a temporary basis for this assignment. He quickly learns he has to become the hunter, not the hunted. Along the way Tag discovers that his friends and the government aren’t always what they appear to be. Tag only wants to keep his wife, his new business partner, and his family out of danger while trying to stop the terrorists from spreading their deadly gas. He must accomplish this difficult feat while his own government is trying to prosecute him.

Investigators are still doing cruel things to the Brooks as of today July 2008.This story is really touching especially if you have experienced the same things.As you read you will see. The Brooks family is an innocent family who is being lied on and falsely accused  of criminal activity. The Brooks get stalked, slandered, followed,lied on and terrorized because of vicious lies. The Brooks children be lied on and slandered by investigators when they go to the different Studio Sets to work. The investigators lies on them to stop them from getting acting work. The Brooks children also be lied and slandered by the investigators when they apply for public jobs to keep them from getting the job. The Brooks family is a poor, honest,kind and innocent family who are treated like they are criminals by the investigators who follows them daily because the Brooks children worked in the television industry and their father is a disable veteran, and can’t work.

       One day Mrs. Brook is on the studio set with her children while they are working.while she is waiting on her daughters. she is writing a manuscript about love poems.The name of it is UPS AND DOWNS OF LOVE.  The investigators followedthe Brooks to the set. At lunch time Mrs. Brook baby daughter came to get her for lunch. The investigators saw Mrs. Brook writing in her manuscript tablet.Mrs. Brook put her manuscript in her daughters backpack. The investigators saw that. Mrs. Brook daughter left her back pack with the other children backpackand went to lunch. Out of all the backpacks there the Brooks daughter backpack with her mothers manuscript in it is the only backpack that came up missing doing lunch time. The investigators took the backpack to see what Mrs. Brook is writing in her manuscript. They probably think she is writing about them, but she is writing about love.

       Mrs. Brook had a book signing to help raise money for the Diabetes Research.The investigators watched the whole time the book signing is going on.When the book signing is over with and everyone left except the Brooks, the employees and the owner of the business. The investigators shined a laser into the business on the Brook family and inside the business on the wall.This happened August 7, 2004 between 1:00pm. and 3:30pm. The Brooks looked outside and saw where the laser was coming from . They saw a white man sitting in a green van with gray trimming at the bottom. He had a full salt and pepper beard. Someone else was in the van with him also.

       There are laws on the book to protect the children, but the investigators who are following behind the Brooks do not honor the law when it comes to the Brooks Children. The investigators do anything they feel like they want to doto the Brooks children and their parents.

These are some things the investigators have done to the Brooks Children.

1. They lies. slanders and stalk them.
2. They make sexual advances at them.
3. They snap pictures of them without permission. They just walk up snap   pictures and run.
4. They tried to abuse one of the Brooks daughters young innocent by telling   her to claim 10 children on her income tax forms when she doesn’t have   any children. The Brooks daughter had just turned 18 years old and this  is the first time she been on the studio set  by her self. She was told by her   parents the investigators are going to come to her and try something dirty   and low down. They have made sexual advances at the entire Brooks family.

      The investigators used a big Fed Ex delivery truck with a satellite on thetop to listen in at the Brooks conservation while Mr. Brook and two of thechildren are in the back of their RV. About 4 or 5 different cars and trucks are the investigators back up. This happened on Wal* Mart parking lot in the city of Industry.
       
In Moreno Valley, CA about a quarter of a mile before the end of North Perris Blvd. There was also 6 to 8 new and old cars and trucks backed off of Perris Blvd.facing the street. One bent up car is parked around the corner to see if you are going to make any kind of move out of the ordinary. This is one of the scare tacksthey use to see if you are affiliated  with any types of drugs.   

      Mr. and Mrs. Brooks got up early one Wednesday morning to go to the doctor.They went outside to get into their vehicle, and they saw some strange white men.There are three or four men pretending to be transits walking around with big black trash bags in the Brooks neighborhood. They are pretending like they are looking for cans.They are peeking into everyone garbage on street.

  The Brooks noticed that everyone garbage in their neighborhoodis running over full of garbage, but their garbage has been completely empted, and the garbage man haven’t even ran yet. The Drug Enforcement Agents came into the Brooks neighborhood and stole the Brooks garbage. Eight months later the Brooks haven’t seen anyone in the neighborhood looking for cans and stealing their garbage.       

One night while the Brooks are camped out in  Eagle Rock CA in their RV,a investigator pass by their RV flashing a flash light and cruising. A few minutes laterthe investigators drove by the Brooks RV and threw a bag of trash with a skunk in itat the Brooks RV.             

These are some words to the wise if you have been doing right and telling the truth continue doing right and tell the truth and keep going on with your life no matter how someone lies, slanders and stalks you. Remember a lie falls at your feet.The truth stands up forever.
