About the Author  Gareth (Gary) L. Wean

The author was honorably discharged as a Gunner's Mate 2/c at the U.S. Naval Base, San Pedro, California on December 7, 1945, four years after Pearl Harbor. In January 1946 the author joined the Los Angeles Police Department and after graduation was assigned to uniform patrol, the morning watch, midnight to 8:00a.m., at University Division. He worked as a Detective Sgt. for the Ventura City Police Dept. and an Investigator for the Los Angeles Dist. Attorney's Bureau of Investigation, the Criminal Intelligence Unit. In September of 1966 he became the Chief Investigator for the Ventura Couny Public Defender's Office until 1970. The story begins at this time, 1946 and relates events that occurred up to 1987 the time of printing and sale of the book. In 1996 a second edition was printed up-dating with a Prologue and Synopsis. The book reveals how in the rambunctious days immediately after World War II the clamorous, uncontrollable oil industry and stealthy, uncontrollable drug industry met and came together welding under the ruthless leadership of a few men. Through this secret merger of the oil and drug industries they intruded into every nook and cranny, the very fiber of the World's population, nationality, religious and moral fabric and plundered unmercifully. This merger evolved into four Chief Executive Officers who have been in command of oil and drugs for the last fifty six years and have become the four wealthiest, most powerful men in the History of the World - since man first walked on the planet Earth. For his exposure of these four Chief Executive Officers the author has suffered continually every conceivable means to destroy him from murder on down for the past 56 years.
