  • Nick Bryant : Confessions of DC Madam
    Confessions of a D.C. Madam

    The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail

    Confessions of a DC Madam (Trine Day, March 2015) is an autographical account of Henry W.
    Vinson’s odyssey from the humble origins of Williamson, West Virginia to running the largest gay
    escort service in Washington, DC by the time he was 26 years old.

    This haunting exposé is the first book to tell the tale of sexually blackmailed politicians and
    government officials in the U.S. by an individual who actually witnessed these sinister maneuverings
    first-hand. Confessions of a DC Madam proves that there is a clandestine checks-and-balances system
    in effect within our government—blackmail.

    Vinson intricately documents his interactions with various closeted and non-closeted VIPs who
    solicited the escorts he employed. Moreover, this new book details Vinson’s numerous exchanges with
    a CIA asset whose specialty was sexually compromising the powerbrokers of Washington, DC, and the
    trials and tribulations Vinson suffered because he was privy to information that could have produced a
    seismic political scandal.

    Confessions of a DC Madam details the federal government’s illicit, malicious, and relentless attack
    on Vinson to ensure his silence, which included incarceration rooted in trumped-up charges and
    Vinson’s story shows the reader the illegal activities the government executes to silence those who are
    privy to the fact that American politicians and power brokers are compromised by their sexual
    improprieties. This fascinating and shocking facet of government corruption reveals the integral role
    blackmail plays in American politics and the unbelievable lengths the government perpetrates to
    silence those in the know.

    Henry W. Vinson is the former funeral director for W. W. Chambers Funeral Home, who also owned
    and operated the largest gay escort service in Washington, DC. He lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.

  • Breakshot: A Life in the 21st Century American Mafia
    Born to a Japanese-American family in ritzy suburban Orange County, California, Kenny “Kenji” Gallo was a bookish, hyperactive kid who lived a double life as a car-bombing, gun-toting international drug trafficker. He owned a nightclub, produced porn movies, and was arrested for the murder of his own best friend- all before he could legally drink. Gallo graduated to life as a jet-setting playboy thug, refining his gangster style under Mafia legends, marrying a legendary porn star, and making millions in credit and stock fraud, extortion, gambling, and the sex trade. Then, after more than two daredevil decades, Gallo voluntarily wired up as an under cover FBI informant in exchange for a fresh start, nearly losing his life in the process. From 1980s cocaine cowboys, to the modern mob and its Tony Soprano wannabes, to the porn industry’s dirty secrets, this riveting and redemptive memoir captures the American underworld in all its tawdry spectacle.

  • Remember the Liberty!: Almost Sunk by Treason on the High Seas
    In the annals of US military history, there are no doubt many unsolved and perplexing mysteries, but few could compare to the fate of the US Navy spy ship that was mercilessly attacked by one of its closest allies intentionally and without warning. One of the reasons it is still a mystery is because it is also the only peacetime attack on a US naval vessel that, to this day, has never been investigated by the Congress of the United States.

    The USS Liberty was a 455-foot, 10,150-ton electronic intercept spy ship, originally a standard-design Victory Ship--a more evolved version of the World War II Liberty Ships--which were built as supply ships, not intended for direct fighting. The Liberty had been converted to an Auxiliary Technical Research Ship (AGTR), known colloquially as a "spy ship," first deployed in 1965; its top speed was only 18 knots.

    Yet the Liberty's fate, one of the most enigmatic, unresolved military mysteries of all time, is, paradoxically at its core, quite clear-cut and undisputed. The basic facts generally accepted by all are that, on the fourth day of the Six Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors (Egypt, Syria and Jordan), the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) savagely attacked the U.S. spy ship, the USS Liberty.

    On the warm, sunny-bright day of June 8, 1967, starting at about 6:00 a.m., at least twelve, possibly thirteen Israeli aircraft of different types began surveilling the Liberty, some of which were only 1,000 feet or less in altitude, apparently to photograph and "map" her for later targeting purposes. The precision of the later attack could only have been accomplished through such pre-planning, specifically identifying the priority targets, starting with the gun mounts to render the ship defenseless, followed by all of the forty-five different radio antennae and related transmitting equipment. . Beginning just before 2:00 p.m., three unmarked French-built Mirage III-C swept-wing fighter jets, without warning, settled into a triangular formation, aimed straight at the Liberty and proceeded to bore down on the ship in a fast low-level attack that began with rockets targeted at the four gun mounts and heat-seeking missiles aimed at the communications gear, with their warmed transmitters. . When the attack was over, thirty-four men were dead and one hundred seventy-four were injured to varying degrees, some near death.

    Unlike all other books ever written about the tragic attack - none of which provide a satisfactory explanation of what really caused it - Remember the Liberty! examines it in complete context of how it was positioned there by Johnson himself, for the very purpose of being attacked, and sunk, with every one of the 294 men on board going to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. His purpose was to use that event - while blaming Egyptian President Gamal Nasser for the attack - as a pretext for joining Israel in the war, even at the risk of igniting World War III with the Soviet Union. This book provides the only realistic explanation for why Lyndon Johnson did what he did, and why, in the heat of battle, he intervened with his Navy officers who were determined to rescue the Liberty and ordered them to recall the squadrons of fighter jets they had already dispatched - twice, 90 minutes apart - for that purpose.

    When the heroic crew saved the ship from sinking, it stopped Johnson's plan to join Israel in the war and thereby saved the world from certain nuclear conflagration. It also prevented his strategy of entering what he felt would be a "popular war" (unlike his other one in Vietnam) in order to give him a better chance to be reelected president the following year. When that failed to materialize, so did his reelection campaign; ten months later he was forced to announce his decision to not re-run for the office that he had always considered his destiny.

    Cathy Terkanian: Find Aundria M Bowman
    REWARD $25,000 for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for the disappearance of Aundria M Bowman aka Alexis Badger.
    Last seen by "grandfathered in sexual offender/predator," Dennis Lee Bowman aka Denny, of Hamilton, MI.
    November 1988, 14 y.o. Aundria/Alexis reported Bowman had sexually molested her. A brief investigation was done, but Bowman's background wasn't looked into and Aundria/Alexis was sent back.
    March 11, 1989 Bowman a habitual liar,and still on parole for "criminal sexual conduct with intent to rape a teenage girl by gunpoint," reported to police Aundria had "stolen his money and run away!" For 20 years Bowman was listed as a victim missing endangered, 14 years old Aundria/Alexis'.
    In 1999 the dead body of a Jane Doe was found in Racine,WI. and in 2008 Carl Koppelman reported to Racine WI. detective that "RJD" might be missing/endangered Aundria M Bowman.
    The detective from WI. contacted the Allegan Co. Sheriff's department to report the tip. A detective from Allegan Co. set out to learn who Aundria M Bowman was in hopes of identifying, "Racine Jane Doe." In 2014 my DNA ruled out "RJD" as Aundria M Bowman aka Alexis Badger. Then the detective's primary question became "What really happened to Aundria???" The detective knew Bowman from the 80's and 90's and knew what he was capable of doing to a helpless teenage girl. He also knew Bowman a judge had said Bowman was a "threat to women if not locked up."
    Police changed the status Aundria/Alexis' case to an "open criminal investigation" and offered Bowman the opportunity to clear himself of causing the disappearance of his adopted teenage daughter, but he refuses. Brenda Bowman isn't cooperating either but has said, "the only thing I'm guilty of is staying married to Dennis Bowman."
    Aundria/Alexis was never seen in Holland, MI. in the weeks/months after she vanished. She never ran away from a youth center as per Doe Network and she never stole Dennis Bowman's money and ran away.
    If u have a tip and wish to remain anonymous u can at www.tipsubmit.com. Someone knows someone who has been there all along.
