Whiskey Mike Needs Medical Assistance!

Happy VD Clinic from the Cold War in Taipei when thousands of American military personnel came to Taiwan everyday from the Vietnam War for R and R, and not to forget the hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel from the US-Taiwan Defense Command, CIA operations via Air Asia and Western Enterprises. Taiwan was spy-central for America, whereas Hong Kong served the British in that same venue.

Folks, Whiskey Mike needs medical assistance!

5. Freelance Journalist (1988 to 2000)

I often use a “transgressive writing style” to demonstrate ideas, which can often be offensive.

I have written over 20 monograms on various weapon systems manufactured by China and Taiwan and these are available on Amazon. These are technical brochure bundles, not analysis, but the data is difficult to find on the Internet

A few years ago, I walked into the office of a North Korean front company in Taiwan to write an article for Asia Times. After receiving threatening phone calls, I responded by publishing all the documents about the company in a book: Unicorn: Anatomy of a North Korean Front just to fuck 'em.
