I salute John Dean for having written this book and find everything it it very believable and most important for all of us to know. Four years ago, I did what my contract with the US government expressly called for: reported my suspicions that a felony may have been committed in the course of administering a strategically important US grant. The Department of Defense (very reluctantly) conducted an audit that proved my main allegation: disappearance of $20M that caused the entire program to lose its functionality and eventually to close. After my letter was received, I was immediately blacklisted for US assistance positions, my bank accounts were frozen for seven months without any reason whatsoever, and my family was driven to penury, having to pawn all our possessions. The program died quietly, most of its money stolen or mismanaged, but there is one thing left to do: take credit for this program's "success". In his recent speech at the National Defense University, Bush said, "We're helping former Soviet states find productive employment for former weapons scientists." Bush is referring to Defense Enterprise Fund (DEF), a venture capital fund financed by the US Congress. DEF was supposed to convert Russian WMD establishments while simultaneously realizing profit from high-technology joint ventures. Please use the words "Defense Enterprise Fund" if you wish to find the relevant website. According to the Audit that I forced the Department of Defense to conduct, having sacrifices my professional career, if not my life, for it, DEF spent half of its grant on itself, which is twenty five times the industry average. As far as DEF's investment portfolio of $30M, $20M disappeared from it under very suspicious circumstances, exactly as I alleged. Defense Threat Reduction Agency ("DTRA") maintains a DEF-related webpage. This page used to state that the number of former Soviet WMD scientists converted by DEF to peaceful pursuits was 3370. I questioned this figure and DTRA reduced it to 1250, which is a 66% reduction. But the real figure could not be more than 200 Russian scientists. This is how Bush tells you "the truth"! And these are precisely the scientists we wanted to keep away from Al Queda! DEF was closed as of December 31, 2003, its entire $67M grant lost, and nobody was punished, except the whistleblower. Remember the anthrax scare? Well, the world's biggest producer of militarized anthrax and small pox (even scarier), the Vector Plant of Novossibirsk, Russia, came to DEF asking for just one million to convert itself. But the money was already gone! Read the audit! $100K for a golf club, $150K housing allowance swindle, Concorde flights, and on, and on, and on - until all the money is gone! Does that look to you as conversion of the Russian weapons of mass destruction? As DEF employee I did everything I could, in house, to prevent DEF's demise, and wrote my letter only when there was no other option. I wanted to save this program, save American lives, and because of it I am being destroyed, assassinated by this Administration. I am a Republican, and I like the idea of small government and individual liberties. But Bush is no Republican as he stands for Big Surveillance and an even Bigger Lie. If you care about America being secure from weapons of mass destruction, please remember my story when you vote in November.
