Description

BETRAYAL, an investigative report by two Marine veterans, tells the riveting story of toxic chemical exposure, cocaine trafficking, murder and gun running in the Marine Corps. Marine Corps Air Station El Toro on the West Coast (CA) and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune on the East Coast (NC) were two of the most environmentally hazardous sites in the country and the setting for this breaking news story. BETRAYAL reports the denial of the effects of exposure to toxic chemicals to veterans and their dependents, including the highest incidence of male breast cancer at Camp Lejeune of any demographic in the U.S. None of the veterans that served aboard these two installations were notified of their exposure to deadly contaminants when it was discovered resulting in both bases earning EPA Superfund status. Many have died without 'connecting the dots' between their killing diseases and military service. Even after approval of health care by the VA for Camp Lejeune Marines, those with deadly cancers have to fight for VA disability compensation benefits; most of the claims are denied by the VA and the veterans die before their appeals can be heard; dependent toxic tort claims gather dust in the Navy's Judge Advocate General's office files with no interest on the government in processing any claim. BETRAYAL uncovers the shocking story of gun running, cocaine trafficking, murder, and government cover-up in a covert operation gone wrong at El Toro, once the premier Marine Corps fighter base. The government denies any use of El Toro to support CIA proprietary aircraft to ship weapons south and cocaine north into the country. The evidence supports that El Toro and other military bases were used to funnel cocaine into the US to support the Contra War in Nicaragua. The death of Marine Colonel James E. Sabow at El Toro remains classified as a suicide, even though the evidence supports murder of this straight arrow Marine officer who refused to look the other way. Other El Toro Marines who knew too much met violent deaths. Military service is a duty that citizens voluntary take up to defend the Constitution and their rights as Americans, but if this service is seen as leading to toxic poisoning and the murder of those who are a threat to blow the whistle on illegal covert activities with no repercussions on military leadership, then the impact on military readiness and the defense of this country will suffer.
