Ghost Troop Home Page April Fools Part 3
I just called and left my major
assertions: that the US Army has
suffered far more deaths than have been reported in the mainstream media. As a former general staff officer (75th
Division,
I began to take an acute interest in all of this
while watching CNN at around 8:30 p.m. (Central) on Friday night, April 4

the US 3rd Infantry Division had

its scout unit (the 3/7 Cavalry) was guarding
the just-taken
· and Saddam Hussein was promising us an unconventional attack by morning.
The attack he promised came just before dawn, falling on the 3/7 Cavalry at the airport first, which was reinforced by the 3rd ID. The military and media cooperated to shut the disastrous picture down, but to a professional, the reality of events was patent. Their actions were proper at the time, because giving real-time coverage of an ongoing battle would have provided real-time intelligence to the attacking forces.
As a matter of operational security (OPSEC), they switched to the Private Jessica story to hold the cameras off until the struggle for the city was decided – by the Iraqi forces receding into the population until national resentment of the invasion could set the stage for a return to power.
Every word that I’ve written above – including the
intent to fight a guerilla war, is confirmed by Iraqi Resistance Report IV, which you can find on the
Internet. (I found it last month.) If the public were to read that single
document, it would know more than it has been told by the mainstream media for
half a year about the reality of
At present US forces are coming under intensified
attack by an enemy admitted to be in possession of mortars, TOW missiles,
RPG’s, and heavy machine guns. Whole
The president and his press have become co-dependent, propping up each other’s warped mirrors of reality so that they can see themselves as they would like others to see them: In the president’s mind, he must not be a failure to his dynasty; in the media mind, they have been coerced, but are not collaborators. No one has a compelling reason to admit that they have become propagandists against the people. It’s the greatest of all ironies that the media that so prided itself on dragging down Nixon is buttressing Bush. They have become the White House Plumbers Unit, plugging information leaks for an abusive president.
Everyone knows that the truth will out, one way or another – hell, Wesley Clark was on duty for CNN the night it happened, and his candidacy insures that the issue will return – but no one has the guts to go after the story first, because going after the story means going after a tyrant and admitting that – for all the noblest reasons – you became party to foul deception.
It’s a dream story for the small media and the Internet. Enjoy the attachments.
First I will attach two op-eds, both written in early April, that set forth my allegations, along with an email to Thom Shanker of the New York Times. Shanker confirmed its premises in a quarter-hour phone conversation I had with him during which he would only talk Russian (a language we share) because of fear of his own bosses. Just for good measure, I’ll add Iraqi Resistance Report IV and a list of around twenty open-source indicators that corroborated my analysis of the Battle of Baghdad during the first week of the cover-up.
Second, my book, April Fools, Captain May, so-named because it seemed that everyone was fooled in April – including me, because I believed enough in human beings to think that someone would stand beside me to end tyranny. It is longish, but the chapter headings alone will give you some insight into how extensive the silencing of the truth has become.
Regards, Captain May
PS: Please note that there are many major media outlets reading this email. Several of them have reached out in their tenuous ways, and I believe they are setting Bush up for the fall. Please feel free to take any person mentioned in my book and call him or her. A few calls will convince you that they are hiding a wild cat in a thin bag, that they know they can’t keep it in, but they’re scared as hell to let it out.
I attach my report in the form of my pending
book. In response to your question as to
whence I drew my conclusions I must state forthrightly that I had no doubt of
the military disaster at the
The arrangement of correspondence is chronological. If you put the document into Word Outline view, then show only heading 2, you will have the table of contents, which is also a list of whom I contacted, when I contacted them, and what their responses were. As you will find as you work through the document, there have been outright confirmations by a dozen military & media; there have been dozens and dozens of evasions; there has been nary a denial at all. Hmmm…
The fix is in, wouldn’t you say? Or at least it was in. Given that we have
lost the Quicksand War, I would think things will be coming apart rather
quickly now. I hope I get to see the end
of it. I think the prez
is still intimidating the timid mainstream media: In his address to the soldiers of the 3rd
Infantry Division September 12, he mentioned that this wasn’t
Yep, they’ve all got their pants down, my friend; they call it embedding. In the Army we used to call it a clusterfuck. I think the latter word is more descriptive, don’t you?
In the manuscript, please make allowances for the
glitches of style and organization, especially for the three weeks (April
21-May 14) when I was traveling to
A final point:
Although I believe my book will be widely published, I will accept no
remuneration for writing it. I am doing
my duty as an officer of the

PS: You may also want to start the manuscript from today (which is at the back of the book), and work your way in reverse. That will show you that in the last two weeks I’ve hooked the Republican National Committee and the office of Senator Saxby Chambliss (R, Ga.) into attempts to obstruct and duck my allegations.
