Why did I write this book?

Back in 2000 I was in the middle of a huge court battle, I had lost about $32 million and thatwasn’t pocket change. I pondered on the reasons that my life could go so horribly wrong. All I couldimagine, was that it was some kind of embedded karmic nightmare, probably ‘in the cards’ because ofmy past In South Africa. I was pretty paranoid at the time. Of course perfect paranoia is perfectawareness. Anyway, I decided that since this could be the case, I was being made to pay for my actions,or inactions as the case may be. Maybe I could make things right by coming clean about everything thathappened south of the equator. Maybe I’d have a shot at a clear and emotionally unencumbered future,even with the huge financial loss.

So I wrote, almost frenetically for 30 days and churned out this book. Initially, I was never reallyhappy with the flow. I could never get the ending right as the ‘end’ had not happened yet. But with time

and changes in my life, I’ve added the final touches to the work in 2006. I’m fairly pleased with the bookand the ending now but it’s not perfect. I have increased the level of verbosity and detail to fill in thegaps. I didn’t want it to read like a technical manual, of which I have written so many over the years.

Overview

How do you write out 15 years of a life as complex as mine in two or three paragraphs? I can’tmake this short, so bear with me, please....

I’m just a guy or I was anyway, before South Africa. I did the typical guy things and I probably hadfar too many girlfriends. Eventually, I became weary of juggling the females and settled down with onegirl. We got married, eventually adopted a little girl and worked like everyone else trying to make acomfortable life for ourselves. Twenty years ago, I was actually pretty normal by bell curve standards atthe time Beckman Instruments was absorbed by Smith-Kline, but everything changed, I was theRegional Engineer for Canada and I had been so efficient, I worked myself out of my job. This situationled to a series of events that eventually gave me no option but to leave Canada and go overseas.

I was involved in many situations in South Africa. Some were pretty funny, some were dangerous,some were downright ugly. Then there were events, well, the stuff of which nightmares are made, thekinds of inhumane monstrosities I never imagined I would see like necklacing’s or be involved in, like,well that comes a little later, I am no stranger to killing. In most cases our targets deserved to die. Wekilled terrorists, daily, sometimes on ‘the fence’, other times up close and personal.

Occasionally, a guard would presume that we had lied and the fence wouldn’t kill, always to theirdetriment. Naw, they’d think, it couldn’t do that, could it? Well, both life and technology have a way ofthinning the gene pool of stupid people as well as terrorists.

I can imagine you, sitting there, reading this, imagining it will get worse. A shudder creeping upyour spine and over your head because of my callous or cynical attitude towards life and death, andthinking if you were a publisher ‘Oh my God, do we want to represent this guy?’ Well, it does get worse,but we’ll do the calm and normal detailing first, so you don’t get too worried, too soon.

Originally, I was just an engineer. I have designed everything from houses to particle beamweapons and damn near everything in between. I even have my own personal adiabatic reactor and hadit three years before Eric Cornell built his at JILA labs in Colorado. Mine was partially funded by the NRCand operational in 1991/92. I always loved the design and construction of new devices. Working forsometimes three or four days without sleep just to get a job done, to see that which I initially created inmy mind, realized in form and matter. I’ve written hundreds of thousands of lines of assembly code,Prolog, Lisp, C and enjoy programming almost as much as the hardware development. It’s an incrediblefeeling to see something that was in your head, on your desk or used by others in the field. That didn’tchange when I went to South Africa, it got better or worse depending on which side of the fence you sat.

Armscor never asked me to make devices that immobilized. They only asked me for devices thatkilled or made killing that much easier. So imagine an electronics engineer and hardware/softwaredesigner in research and development that has years of experience in systems integration, analyticalchemistry and metallurgy suddenly in a military environment ‘with no budget cap’. My imagination ranrampant and my conscience was forced bound and gaged to the back seat of my mind.

To make matters worse, they gave me security clearances that allowed me carte blanche accessto every military base and border installation I was in charge of, or for that matter, wanted to visit. Theyquite literally gave me the ‘keys to the kingdom’. Now for the icing on the cake, they paid me well to dowhat I did and I always delivered. The funny thing about all this was that I was a Canadian nationalentrenched within a foreign military establishment. Hard to believe eh? Well, I even have photographs ofmany of the bases, borders and installations I designed. I even have all of my original software anddocumentation.

I gave them everything they asked for, lethal fences, wiretaps that kill, warhead tipped bulletsfilled with semtex, ceramic guns, laser scopes, lorenz guns, high energy inverters and of course aplasma weapon design that kicked some serious ass.

There was only one problem. Eventually, I had to deal with my conscience spiting out its damnedball-gag, wriggling its way out of its ropes and chains back to the surface, and that can get pretty toughafter a couple of years of doing this kind of work. I guess my real turning point was when they tried to killmy CO. They blew up the Helderberg in 1987, a commercial airliner he was supposed to be traveling on,over the Indian Ocean north east of Mauritius. Of course they never got him, one of his ops told him notto get on the plane just before it left from Taiwan. When that happened, even though I kept doing thework, I didn’t have the taste for it, at least not as I once had, in the beginning.

Then later, to find out everybody was corrupt. To find out that all the ministers and governmentofficials we were dealing with were on the take... More though, to find out that my work wasn’t aboutsocial responsibility or protecting the innocent people in South Africa from terrorists, made everythingworse for me. Then as confirmation, there was the shipping of arms to Saddam from the US via SouthAfrica while under a UN arms embargo. You wouldn’t believe who the players were behind that sale. Iam surprised there weren’t more reports of ‘friendly fire’ during the first Gulf War, of course that wouldn’thave played out well on CNN. All I know is in the end, it was all about the money and that soured me. Itturned on my conscience like a red light in Amsterdam and made me into a technology whore.

I still stayed in Africa and thought that maybe I could do something different, or maybe the samebut more humane if I distanced myself from Armscor. That didn’t work either, Armscor put a mole into myoperation to watch me, as soon as I started getting close to making my business work right. They usedhim in an attempt to force me back into the fold, he screwed up my funding. They just didn’t want to letme get away from the ‘business’ or their control. I had two choices left, stay or go.

If I stayed in SA and didn’t work for Armscor, I was a dead man. If I left, the chances were 50/50that I’d make it out alive. The odds were better, so I decided to leave.

The Canadian Consul, Adrian Brazeau, in Pretoria was instrumental in almost getting my wholefamily killed. He was no help at all, actually, once I had gone to the embassy the warning flags were upat Armscor. The consul knew this, so not following through and getting us out was paramount to signingour death warrants. The deal he eventually made with my wife was ‘if your husband is dead next weekand you and your children are still alive, I’ll send down a car and get you out’. With consuls like that, whoneeds hitmen? He was also told about my CO’s plane, the accounts, the corruption, arms deals and thekillings. He told me he couldn’t hold onto that information, which I presented to him in a nine page letter,else he’d be a dead man as well. Canadians are a spineless lot. We need a few more rams and a lot lesssheople.

We did get out though, I bought my tickets under an assumed name through a trusted friend whohad the names changed just before boarding. It was pretty touch and go, especially through customswith two hard drives full of the military software and documentation I had written, but we got out of SA.

We made it to Belgium and that night I called one of my partners in SA figuring the lines weretapped. I told him, I would be back in two weeks after I got my family settled. He agreed it was a goodplan and to me, everything seemed ok. The next morning our plane was prevented from taking off fortwo and a half hours while they removed two suitcases that didn’t have owners, go figure? Securitypersonnel with ‘sniffers’ in body armor put the suitcases in a bomb transport unit and it was carefullywheeled away from the plane. You really need to see shit like that when you’re just about to fly acrossthe Atlantic. It reminded me of the situation with my CO’s plane, the Helderberg and I was not a happycamper at the time. But they removed the airborne cancer, apparently they got all of it and we made itback, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to write this book.

I lived a dangerous life in South Africa but I learned a lot as well. I’ve seen men strung up by theirankles that had been skinned alive, their torso’s hollowed and the organs laid out on the ground like agrizzly offering to some daemonic god, except for their hearts, they were taken away to be devoured intribal ritual. I’ve seen the dead on our fences, bodies mutilated by high voltage and current, their fleshconverted to dust leaving gaping cavities. Fresh kills, they lay there with just a slight smile and thereflection of the African sky in their still slightly moist but dead eyes. I’ve been in firefights and thenwatched as my ‘associate’ summarily executed terrorists in cold blood, one after the other, like amachine. The 3B’s, what’s a bit of bone, blood and brains on the rocks between friends? We used tohave 4 binders with 100 double sided picture holders in each, it was a sales tool. Each page had 4different terrorists on each side. All 4 binders were almost full, you do the math.

I’ve done things for ‘king and country’ that I couldn’t talk about, let alone even think about withoutcausing myself emotional distress and lived that way for 10 years, at least until I wrote the book. But on

the upside, while in SA I found out what I was capable of doing and the depths too which I could descendto solve a ‘problem’.

And then there’s Canada. Imagine what that was like, coming back here, man was I bored. But Ifigured, make the best of it, you got your family out alive now run with it, and I did. I ran a little R&Dcompany developing computer based solutions for Ortech and NRC clients. Life wasn’t exciting, but I stillhad my love of design and prototyping and that got me through. I tried to lay my past to rest by buryingmyself in my work. After five years, I was almost starting to feel normal again, but I’ve never forgotten thedead eyes of Africa, but at least it didn’t sting me the way it did when I had just come back.

In 1995 I was introduced to what I thought were honorable men, I was wrong. I had been workingin the realm of BEC’s to generate electricity and EPR solutions to produce a communications deviceusing spatial compression. It was pretty heady stuff. Then almost overnight, I was a major shareholder intwo additional companies. Universities were suddenly working on my projects. We were looking at ‘offshores’, IBC’s and IPO’s. Brokers became involved and we took on some rather large investments. I wasalso involved with a beautiful woman, Natalia, who wasn’t my wife. Ruh roh! But life looked pretty damngood from where I was sitting.

Then everything started to collapse. I had found a problem in the way we cut the shares in thecompanies. It gave us a deemed disposition of about $32 million each between our three shareholders. Isuggested legal ways to fix the problem, even if they did make us look stupid. A major accounting firm,lawyers, brokers and a bank were involved at this point. But the change to our shareholdings wasn’tgoing to happen legally, as I had suggested. After a great deal of resistance and infighting I wasoppressed as a shareholder and then my legal battles began. This was part of the first fraud of roughly$100 million and involved Revenue Canada and the OSC as well. But it would be buried in the upcomingsettlement agreement.

Around four weeks later, they tried one last push. They brought Natalia into town and put her upat a hotel on the airport strip. She called and I went to see her. When she came to town I always paid forher room, so it was natural for me to walk up to the desk and pay the account. This time though, it wasalready paid, which I thought unusual. Since we had been there before and I knew the manager, I toldhim I’d just pay her back. He told me she hadn’t paid and supplied the name, one of my ex-partners hadpaid the bill. There was a rage in my head that wasn’t going to go away. Natalia knew what they haddone to me and I felt like I was even more duped than I had originally imagined. It appeared that she wasjust another one of their pawns in this evil little game. I began to seriously reflect on my past with her onthe way up in the elevator. I’d never hit a women, but this was going to stretch me to the limit. When I gotto the room she wasn’t dressed in much, but it did nothing for me. All I wanted was the truth andeventually she admitted to her role. I left her and parked near the airport, feeling broken and just wantingdeath to come quickly, hoping a plane would drop on me at the end of the runway where I waited, while thinking about my past and all I had lost.

About a week later I settled with the company under duress and I signed their fraudulentagreement. I had no choice, they waited until I was extended and then hit me. In the agreement was alicense for my work at the universities. But with signing, my life became calmer and nothing major reallyhappened for 10 months, until they breached the settlement agreement.

Breach of the agreement negated the licenses and two months after the breach, knowing they nolonger had the licenses, they had applied jointly with the university for government funding which wasapproved. We contacted the government and had the grants placed on hold. During this time there wasa great deal of nefarious activity. Once they realized they were caught in a second fraud, they had tosettle again. But before they did, the government spin doctors had to come in and produce the right storyline for this mess.

In 2001, the courts ruled on the judgement concerning the breach and the company startedpaying down the settlement debt. In order to pass the judgement however, both my wife and myself wereforced to sign permanent injunctions. Consequently, we cannot name names. There is however arelease built into the injunctions that states I can publish my entire book without real names in theCanadian related chapters. As a secondary measure I have written under a pen name.

This coverup and the behavior of the courts and government, worries me and disgusts me. Theyliterally gave away a 150 million dollar tax revenue case to protect a few ministers and a university. Thattells me there is something really wrong with the system. I hope that in the near future, under thisConservative government, they will unearth the Liberal past and if they do, it’s going to be wet and

messy. But I have my doubts, all political parties are controlled by the same source which also controlsthe media and the legal system.

A lot of people when they talk to me about the past or careers say “Wow, Africa, that must ofbeen great!” They only know about the photographs I took of animals and scenery or the funny stories Itell them. They don’t know about the real world and the “red ochre stain” that doesn’t wash off. I scaredthe hell out of my mother and a few other friends when they proofread the book. I warned them all beforehand, but they insisted on knowing the truth and of course my mother cried. I’ve seen and done far toomuch.

Qualification

It’s my life, my story and it’s understandable that I have an intimate relationship with my own life. Imean considering I lived every moment. I don’t have any publishing credits but I have written hundreds oftechnical manuals, not that it matters really. My writing style may seem a bit odd at times, but I am just aperson, imperfect and telling the story in my own way, in my own words.

Summation

There are literally millions who want to know what happened during the final death throws ofapartheid, especially concerning Armscor involvement. Anything related to Armscor is generally a well-kept secret. But more than that, the Helderberg has been a mystery for roughly 19 years. How could aplane carrying 159 people blow up the way it did and leave no workable clues, just a comedy of politicaland judicial errors. Look it up on the Internet using “Helderberg” and “TRC”. You’ll find there is noresolve, there are only questions and supposition. Ask David Klatzow the primary forensic investigator.

I have the puzzle pieces because I was in SA at the time and was in a position with Armscor andother not so visible companies that provided me with quality information. In most cases my writing comesdirectly from my own eyes and experiences, in other cases from the people involved.

Market and Competition

The primary audience for this book would be investigators, historians, a general and global adultaudience, and students that examine the history of apartheid. In addition, every family affected by manyof the events outlined in the book would read this work. Therefore we are probably looking at more thana few million families and individuals. As well, the actual working of the military during apartheid hasbeen a well guarded secret since it’s collapse in the early 90's. This book tells the story of just oneperson, myself, and contains a relevant first hand perspective of what happened in the mid to late 80'sand early 90's.

It will be bought and read because it provides thousands, maybe millions of people with the‘jigsaw puzzle pieces’ that very well might expose additional brutal truths about the policies, practicesand activities of Armscor and the SA government as well as linkages to the US, UN, IMF/World Bank,CFR and other organizations. Some people will say I am a horrible person for participating back then,others may say I just did my job and others may say, he came right and we need more people to do this,to tell the truth. But, I am not banking on living through this, there are far to many powerful people aroundthat will be highly concerned about their ‘secrets’ coming out.

I searched the Internet tonight again, there only appear to be semi-supported case studies ofsingle incidents involving Armscor and Apartheid. There are no books currently in print examining theHelderberg, only TRC reports and news articles which have been examined by millions. But as I said,they have no real answers. Much of the information found on the Helderberg states it is a mystery thathas not been solved and this comes as well from television programs and docu-dramas. I found onedocument outlining the SA nuclear reactor program and only one instance of Koeberg as a reactor, onthe Internet but some very interest reports on Palindaba and Velindaba, which were the South Africannuclear research facilities.

In addition to the South African events, there was and is a corruption festering within theCanadian government, stock markets and banking system, obviously, they are manipulated by only a few

people. In consideration of the present investigations, the book gives a baseline and clues to what wasactually happening in SA and Canada. This may in turn supply the present Canadian government withadditional information in the pursuit of the truth. Of course, they might end up in a position of chargingtheir friends and associates, so that does seem unlikely.

This appears to be a very unique book as it examines many parallels between Canada andSouth Africa from a personal perspective. The focal point in both countries is greed, personal power,protectionism and of course manipulation by external forces such as the UN, IMF and CFR.

Later he became a friend who I taughtprogramming and hardware design.February 1987, Teddy’s Dish - Quid pro quo, I agreed to import the dish, he agreed to ship ourbelongings from Canada. It worked out well I thought at the time.February 1987, About Firing Paul and Randy - Teddy didn’t like firing people so he made methe Chief of R&D and had me fire people. I had to get used to it, I’d be terminating people later ina considerably different fashion.March 1987, About Stephan - The son of the Colonel, Chief of Counter intelligence.

The specialized parts and materials would be brought in from overseas, fuck the armsembargo.July 1987, At The Colonels House in Pretoria, Post Scope Testing - The colonel explains theproblems within Armscor. I refuse cash payment for an offensive weapon, I told the Colonel tojust give me the honorary he promised from Wits. Ericka tells me I should have taken the money,but I couldn’t do it.

Jan Kempdorp, 93AD, was smack in the middle. What a clever place to put anammunition depot. Somebody was thinking!August 1987, Changing to the i8096 Processor - I found a flaw in the border system thatallowed me to turn off the fences from the other side. I had to fix this, so I used micro-controllersfor the encryption systems. I told Teddy we would fix it during upgrades, sooner if Armscorallowed us some financial latitude.August 1987, Frank Dalhouse has his Fit over the i8096 - Frank, Teddy’s son who really didn’tunderstand anything at the time, went ballistic when I proposed the technology change. He wasvoted down by the board and the advisors.August 1987, Frank gets Fired - Frank gave his father an ultimatum, to fire me or Frank wouldquite. Teddy beat him to it, he fired his son and released him as a director.August 1987, Teddy didn’t like Ultimatums - A bit on Teddy and the way he thought. He didn’tlike being backed into a corner and when that happened, he came out fighting.August 1987, A Little Frank Dalhouse History - Frank’s rather limp history of conflict within theoffice and why no one respected him. Actually, no one even liked him. He was just another one ofthose little pompous ass rich boys that needed to be seriously bitch slapped. He did get that fromtime to time.

5 To Build the Perfect Beast

August 1987, Laser Weapon Design is Finished - A bit about the technology involved increating a fissile sourced plasma tube laser. Everything is outlined here from the accelerator tomagnetics and the cryogenics as well as the generators and capacitor banks.August 1987, The Colonel asks me to Mule Lasers - The Colonel approached me asking me ifI wanted a vacation. A working one, back to Canada. He wanted me to pick up the lasers nearOttawa and deliver them to an SA courier for shipment in a diplomatic package. Survey says...No! I ain’t no spy!September 1987, End, Lasers have Landed - The Colonel manages to get the lasers anyway. Idon’t know how or where he got one thousand 1200 watt Class IV Military Grade lasers and Ireally don’t want to know, but I have a good idea since I gave him a few names and addresses.October 1987, Teddy and the Reserve Bank Flip - Teddy was running low on funds, too manypayoffs I guess and he was complaining about being ‘real estate’ poor. He asked me if I could

bring money in for him. Told him I could, but I had a better idea, it was called a Reserve Bankloophole or how to turn a profit of 6m Rand by moving 16m Rand offshore over 2 months.October 1987, My Military Training - It was nasty. I got a little first hand training on how wetreated people from the ‘other side’. Not as serious, but still... nasty.October 1987, Too Many Speeding Tickets in One Day - Coming back from 93AD was a treat.Three speeding tickets in one day, all over 200kph.October 1987, End, Laser Weapon Testing, 100kw units, the date was set - The info camedown from Armscor through the Colonel that the ‘proofs’ were done. The testing date was set, thelocation I would get later. November 1987, Messina Border with Stephan, My First Encounter - I get de-virginized on the Zimbabwe border with my first personal kill. The terr’ should never had tried tocross the border and he should never have picked up the gun.November 1987, Ericka Gets Hired by Teddy as my Technical Writer - Ericka was bored ashell so she asked me to get her a job. I asked Teddy, there were 56 companies in the group,surely he had a position for her. Just my luck, he gave her to me.November 1987, 2nd Week, Laser Weapons Testing - The proof is the pudding eh? Now, it’s inthe way this beast cut steel at 200 yards, it was seriously nasty. I was beginning to wonder if Ishould have designed the big one, the little ‘jobs’ were dangerous enough.November 1987, End, The Colonel and the Helderberg - To kill a man and miss with 159bodies in the way. I remember thinking why not just “do” him with one of my big scopes and a .50cal sniper rifle? Why go to all the trouble of taking out a commercial airliner? It’s pretty simple, ifyou miss him on the plane, you still slow the weapons program. If you don’t miss, you take out alead Colonel with Armscor and slow or kill the weapons program. The puppet master that set upthe hit, this horrific murder of 159 people, must have believed this looked like a win win situation. Ijust thought ‘what kind of evil beast crawled up from hell and did this?’ The answer is in Europe.December 1987, The Colonel brings my Honorary - I had designed their weapon, it testedsuccessfully so the Colonel delivered as promised.December 1987, 93AD Just Before Christmas, My Photography - My last inspection of JanKempdorp before going on vacation at Tshukudu. I did some crazy things. I took pictures on thebase with legitimate permission I thought. I refused to give up my weapons or my cigarettes againat the gate, not smart. I took my wife and daughter on the base and they weren’t security cleared.Oh well, shit happens. Then we went back to Joburg and started our trip to the game farm. In themeantime, someone at the base was writing a report to Pretoria.December 1987, Christmas Vacation - Vacation at Tshukudu - Innocently enough, I made myway north to the Tshukudu game farm near the Hoedspruit Base and took a two week vacation. Ididn’t officially tell anyone where I was going, I am pretty spontaneous that way. While I wasthere, things were happening to Teddy I’d be in trouble for later.

6 Man’s inhumanity to man

January 1988, I am in da Shit - I got back from Tshukudu ready to start into the new year. Ididn’t know that the Military Police had tried to arrest Teddy on Christmas Eve. Of course I foundout that very first morning I came back to work.February 1987, Permanent Residence Papers Arrive - The Colonel had sorted out mypermanent residence status with home affairs. The dark green papers had arrived.February 1988, Rand Water Board - A new job was starting. Rand Water Board supplied about90% of the water to Johannesburg from the southern reservoir and pumping station. We securedthe installation with a modified A.I. version that I had designed for Messina with outboard gear Ihad designed for Jan Kempdorp. I finally had an easily modifiable ‘cookie cutter’ template.February 1988, Mid, The Rains Came for 3 weeks - When the floods came across the centralkaroo, many animals died. Places I had stayed were almost washed away. People living near theVaal and Orange Rivers had a very hard time that year.March 1988, Rand Water Board and Payoffs, Teddy’s Friends - Teddy explained why thepayoffs and the kickbacks. He told me they were his friends now, it wasn’t about business. It stillsmelled dirty.

March 1988, Barbeques and a little on Stephan and Cameron - I used to have barbequesalmost every weekend and I would feed everyone, including the maids and their husbands. Ouremployees were like family to me. I explain the personal linkages between Stephan, Cameron,myself and all of our wives.March 1988 - The Weapon - I was informed by the Colonel that the weapon was almostcompleted. Four to six weeks and it could be deployed. It was the last possible chance to turn thetide in Angola and South West Africa.March 1988 - The Last Barbeque before Angola - Stephan and myself were going to Angolaon business. My protégée, Cameron, was staying back. We didn’t want to involve any morepeople than the Colonel would allow.March 1988 - Going To Angola - Leaving home again and going into hostile territory to look atdeployment sites for the weapon. It seems like the story of my life, jumping from fire to fire. Wedrove to the base, past Upington and Windhoek, past the Etosha Pan and into the darkness. Ididn’t realize hell had a night time as well.March 1988 - Tuesday Morning at the Base - The day started out at dawn so beautifully, but itdidn’t take long to turn into a nightmare. The grizzly torture and killings of our soldiers on our sideof the border was obscene. I still have trouble talking about this period in my life.March 1988 - Encounter in Angola - The firefight was followed by the executions in cold blood.It wasn’t pretty but was deserved. Stephan left a calling card in the form of a grenade, carefullypositioned under one of their right arms. We heard the explosion from a kilometer away whileapproaching the invisible border and the reaction team.March 1988 - The Drive to Messina - As soon as we got back to Joburg we were told we had togo to Messina in two days. Stephan went first, I wanted to spend a day relaxing in an attempt toforget what I saw near the Angolan border and what I did on the other side. Then I went north onthe N1, speeding again, passing everything. I just wanted to get the job done and get home.That’s when I met a cop, a really stupid cop, but that’s a funny story in which he offered me threedays vacation in a jail cell so I could relax for a change and catch up on my reading.March 1988 - Arriving at Messina SMG - I got to Messina, met Stephan and settled in for thenight.March 1988 - Messina SMG West at the Limpopo Valley past Harper Tower - We wereperforming an inspection, Stephan spotted a Kudu at about 800 yards. Dropped it with one shotfrom a rifle he had never fired. It was impressive, we’d have Kudu for dinner. In my excitement, Iwas negligent, I walked straight to the Kudu, examined it without noticing the clearing to north. Ididn’t even hear the shot until I was on the ground.March 1988 - Military Surveillance - After the shooting I became seriously paranoid and pissedoff. I don’t like being surveiled. So I went about stopping it passively, by using my camera.March 1988 - In Kruger Park - Weapons for Saddam - A meeting to start a war. The company,sanctioned by ministers, Armscor, ambassadors from two countries formalized a plan to sendweapons to Saddam.

7 Saddam Insane and Amerika?

April 1988 - I find the magical lipstick case - What’s this I thought after dropping my lighter inthe plane? A gold-plated lipstick case belonging to whom? Had our pilot been playing? I didn’tthink so and after quite a bit of chiding and ridicule our pilot came clean. I knew now who hadbeen in Kruger and what kind of deal had been done. I don’t work with psychopaths, apparently ifthe money was good enough, they did.April 1988 - Just Before Easter - My wife has figured that she’s going to get preggers. So westarted with the doctors and the clinics, again. What a job.April 1988 - Easter Working Trip to Messina and Naikagomo - Originally I was to go toNaikagomo first followed by Messina. I reversed the trip midway between Joburg and Pretoria. Itwas a good thing I did as this would be when the first two attempts on my life as accidents wouldoccur at my destinations.April 1988 - The Military Security Lecture at 93AD - My security lectures to plane loads ofofficers while demonstrating the Jan Kempdorp system. This was pretty funny mainly because

there were as many hostesses as there were officers on the Dakota that flew them into the base.April 1988 - Weapons for So Damn Insane - All the paperwork was there, bills of lading/waybillsgoing north to Iraq and of course, there were the G5's as well, it was an ugly business.May 1988 - Kurt Called from the Nkygomo Site about the Elephants - First instance, a smallquarter ton pickup is crushed by a bull elephant. Of course the driver was drunk when he hit it.Still, there were two guys inside the bakki which was flattened to the height of the tires layingdown. Not a pretty sight.May 1988 - Kurt Called from the Nkygomo Site about the Peter - Second instance, anotherdriver loses control on the road out and gets thrown through the windshield. He crawled out to themiddle of the dirt and gravel road bleeding and was luckily picked up by our site manager, andthen is taken to the hospital in Nelspruit. The site manager came back for the bakki and go figure,there’s a pride of lions looking for their dinner. Now that’s Africa.

8 No One Ever Listens

May 1988 - End - The Big Card Mixup at Nkygomo - A mistake was made in the Assembly labon the outgoing final shipment of the computers. I knew exactly what the problem was. Teddy, forsome reason didn’t believe me. Twelve of our best people, including 4 directors flew toNaikagomo in the company plane. I fixed the problem in less than 10 minutes.May 1988 - The Plane Ride Back from Nkygomo - On the way back from the base, Teddyalmost killed us all in the plane through his own stupidity and arrogance.May 1988 - A Little More About Matt - Matt was our pilot but he was also a director and asalesman for the company. He collected reports, documents and photographs of our work. Hismain advertising tool was a set of binders containing pictures of the 2800+ confirmed kills on thefence.May 1988 - Going Back to 93AD, Terr’s on the Road to Christiana - I had made upgrades tothe Jan Kempdorp system. I went back down with a complete mirror image of the basecomputers plus the development tools in a rented VW Westfalia. I completed the upgrade at thebase and headed out. On the way back towards Christiana, I encountered ANC terrorists andturned their car into a flaming metal flower. Can you say ‘boom’, sure, knew ya could.June 1988 - Going back to Messina Again - Terr’s At Alldays - Messina in the winter was quitenice, much warmer than Joburg. Six terr’s crossed the border at Alldays while Cameron, Stephanand myself were performing the final commissioning and upgrades at Messina SMG. Stephanand the reaction team went out to greet them. None of the terr’s lived, it was apparently quite thebloody little battle.

9 Were you Talkin’ to me?

June 1988 - Helmut, Managing Director of Chronos - I was pretty pissed off with Helmut atChronos. He used to call me ‘snow caffer’ which was a rather insulting and derogatory term. Iwarned him on a number of occasions to stop. One day I cornered him, removed all my guns andweapons except a WWII US Navy-issued knife. I explained how I was about to kill him using theknife only. He pissed himself and never insulted me again.June 1988 - The Colonel’s Wiretapping Device That Killed - Apparently, people hired byArmscor were talking and that just had to stop. The Colonel asked me for a solution. They wantedto be able to listen to conversations and if they went the wrong way, well, the person providingsensitive information to outside listeners would have to be stopped, dead. I provided that‘permanent’ solution.July 1988 - Writing My Report on The Border and Military Security Systems - I finally wrote acomplete report, a ‘White Paper’ on the border fencing system. Money has a way of interfering inprogress, especially when it’s in the form of pools, house expansions or a new Mercedes. Thereport was swept under the ‘rug’. At that point I knew the last two attempts were just appetizers orwarnings.August 1988 - My Favourite Military Related Dentist - I hate dentists, especially when they dostupid things and make me do even nastier things like press a loaded .44 magnum to their

temple. You don’t stick a needle into an open nerve canal of a fully armed man in pain, it isn’tsmart! But things calmed down and stupidly I agreed to General Anaesthetic. That really wasdumb on my part, I died and was paddled out three times before my heart kicked back in. Ofcourse over the next ten days I lost over a quart of blood through my sinuses. What the fuck didthis wanker do I wondered? Well, my wife found out. He had used an experimental anaestheticthat killed people with high blood pressure. The military only knew I had a blood pressureproblem, they didn’t know it was low blood pressure.September 1988 - Time to Quit the Military - Now I had really had enough, the dentist wasrecommended by Teddy, the Colonel and Orville. I figured my time was very limited so I hadbetter distance myself from these characters and just keep my mouth shut for the time being. SoI started making my plans to end my military association through Dalhouse.September 1988 - National Party Reserve Bank Flip - Teddy’s ex-girlfriend tried to help hernew boyfriend with the National Party. She’d heard about Teddy’s offshore funding flip andthought he could do the same. The National Party needed money for, er... campaigns, yeah that’sit. Well, he tried it and got caught along with 3 of his other buddies. The loophole had beenclosed.September 1988 - Putting in my Notice - When I decided to leave and put in my noticeprivately, somehow everyone found out, the employee exodus began.October 1988 - Leaving Daltronics - Even more people started to leave, putting in their noticesat my exit party. I felt bad for Teddy, but I couldn’t stay any longer.

10 A fly in the ointment

November 1988 - Starting the business with Norman - I took on a working partner and starteddeveloping new products.December 1988 - Me and Speeding and Court, Always a Problem - This is a pretty funny littlestory.

Keith was pretty supportive and he knew people, so Iconsidered taking him on in the business.January 30 1989 - Willow Tree Clinic - Michael is Born - My son was born, it was amazing. Ith

even got to perform a little of the C-section and I clamped and cut the cord.February 1989 - Donald, Our new Office and Mark Borden - Donald organized or new officesin Alberton. We did few sales and then ran into a real character named Mark Borden, a con artist.February 1989 - Buying our house in Dinwiddie - It’s amazing the ease with which we boughtour house in Dinwiddie. Of course I had a great bank manager.March 1989 - The Speeding Tickets Come Due in Johannesburg - The return to a battle ofintellects or maybe just stupid persistence. The prosecutor doesn’t come through with the judgesorders. The case is remanded to a new date.March 1989 - Another Court Date - 3rd One - The prosecutor does it again. Another day incourt wasted because of the prosecutors stupidity.April 1989 - Another Court Day - 4 one - The prosecutor does it again. Another day in courtth

wasted because of the prosecutors stupidity.April 1989 - Final Court Appearance, 5 Time - The prosecutor does it again. This time ath

bench warrant was issued for the prosecutor’s witness. I tried to set a precedent, but they justwouldn’t let me. The case was dismissed. There were reporters outside. I had to be shuttledthrough the court building with all my guns to a separate exit to avoid the reporters.May 1989 - Beauty our new employee - Ericka hired a new maid, Beauty. She was great, hugeand looked like Aunt Jemima. She took care of our son, Ericka and our house. We paid her well,about twice a normal salary for a maid. She was a good woman, but a little naive when it came toher choice in boyfriends.May 1989 - Advertising Photography - I was approached to set up advertising photography for

local hair salons followed by a photography show in a few malls around Joburg. It was a lot of fun,but it was also hard work treating models like meat.

11 A day on the farm

June 1989 - Trout Fishing with Matt - We went to Krugersdorp with Matt and did a little troutfishing. I wanted to introduce our daughter to the sport and see if she liked it or not. She did. Wealso went through the caves in the area.July 1987 - Photography Again - Since I had done some very nice work on the hair salonmodels I was approached by women for modelling portfolios. Of course I could provide them anddid, even when they asked me for nudes and semi-nudes. One nice little 20 year old English girldid a very nice ‘spread’ of photo’s.October 1987 - Black Widows and Baboon Spiders - Cleaning out around the house andgarage I encountered some very aggressive spiders. I was bitten by a black widow while hosingdown the garage. It wasn’t pretty, I bled the wound out myself before I passed out. I went to thedoctor the next day after the wound went septic and had it cut open. Bad move, I got bloodpoisoning and the fever almost killed me.December 1989 - Christmas - It was a trying time for me. Ericka was pissed off and nothing wasworking right in the business.January 1990 - Mark Borden - While trying to collect what he owed us, I stumbled across acheque from Teddy. It looked like Mark was one of my watchers. Maybe he was put in place toscrew up my business.January 1990 - The gun incident with Ericka - Ericka was driving me crazy. She was worried,but you don’t destroy the only person that can fix a problem. One night after a protractedargument, I put my gun in her hand, cocked and loaded and held it to my chest. I just wanted itfast and painless, not drawn out in emotional pain amplifier.February 1990 - Time for Divorce - I went to my lawyer and told him to set up the divorce.Cleverly, he served her on Valentines day. That didn’t go over well.March 1990 - Finding Ron - Ron was allegedly a fixer. He came into the business to bringinvestment for an AC/DC Power Line Modem I developed. Of course I would find out later whathe really was.June 1990 - Miguel and his project - Miguel landed a contract with Sasol for their gas stationpumps. He wasn’t sure how he would design the necessary device, so I did it for him and he builtit. Then a few nights later, I wrote all the software in one night. He went to Sasol with a fullyworking prototype. I never charged him, I help my friends when I can.July 1990 - Losing Hope - My life was crashing around me. Ron was dragging his feet and Keithwas stealing from us. I didn’t want to do this anymore so I started looking for a job in Durban.Away I thought, from Armscor, but I could never be away from them as long as I was in SouthAfrica.August 1990 - Very Worried - Armscor wasn’t about to let me live a normal life. They blockedeverything I tried. I found out Ron was my mole. He lived in a house in Sandton with no deed andno record. The houses on either side were owned by Armscor and the government. It wasapproaching the time to leave.September 1990 - No Options, Canadian Embassy - I went with my family to the CanadianEmbassy in Pretoria thinking they would help. What a joke. Just because I went there it set offwarning bells in Armscor. It was becoming less and less probable we would make it out of SAalive.October 1990 - Preparation for Leaving South Africa - I sold everything, left the drapes up andthe car in the driveway. I put the house up for sale, quietly with no sign. I bought our ticketsthrough a friend Saturday after 6:30pm for an 8:30am flight Sunday morning under assumednames that would be changed prior to boarding.October 1990 - Airport Customs, Leaving Johannesburg - It was touch and go. The greatestproblem was getting through customs with my hard drives. They contained all of the militarysoftware I had written along with all the correspondence. But we made through, I took one lastmournful look and we boarded the plane

October 1990 - Belgium - Bombs on our Commercial Flight - In Belgium I called Ron to tellhim I would be back in two weeks. Obviously that wasn’t good enough for Armscor. If it had ofbeen, Belgian security would not have had to remove two suitcases containing some form ofnitrates from the cargo hold. It was a white knuckle ride back to North America.October 1990 - Arriving back in Canada - We arrived much later than expected after a stop inBoston. Friends and family were waiting at the airport. We were shuttled back to my wife’s aunt’sapartment. I started looking for gainful employment immediately. I couldn’t afford to sit around.

Part II Canada

12 Returning to a Mess

October 1990 - Back in Canada - It was horrible when we came back. Canada was In arecession. Finding work was hard and I had a genetic disease that was giving me a lot of grief..November 1990 - Ontario Research Foundation - I managed to get a contract with ORF thatput me back into a normal working environment.December 1990 - Christmas at my Aunt’s - I had a small fight with one my relatives. A rathernarrow little bitch who really didn’t understand the world at all. What was funny about theargument was she accused me of being a killer and doing it for all the wrong reasons. At thesame time, she was upper management at a company that made ‘Bouncing Betties’, which is anextremely nasty land mine. Hypocrites, they’re everywhere.January 1991 - Finding Work, make a Business when all else fails - Here I look at howdifficult it is to actually get everything in your life restarted after years overseas. I also examinethe problems with military references. Explanations of my meetings with CSIS and the wiretaps.August 1991 - Ajax - Moving to Ajax and still trying to find a normal job rather than start abusiness.October 1991 - Gene and the NRC magic acts - I meet Gene an NRC rep who instructed me inthe process of acquiring research grants.January 1992 - David at Basaltic Inc - Demonstrating and then trying to sell the AC/DC PLMtechnology to a local business.

He explained everything that happened after I left.April 1992 - Samantha Kelly - What a great lady she was. I was introduced to her in 1991, shewas a homeopath with an honorary from a local university and she worked in ‘fringe’ areas. At 82she had more energy than a 30 year old. She was just an amazing person. She required a deviceto alter matter states, to reprogram them at an atomic level. I got the grant, I designed andconstructed the device. It was the first rotating field adiabatic reactor that had been produced andit was all my technology.July 1992 - Samantha Kelly’s BEC Generator/Reactor completed - Since’s Samantha’sproject was finished and the device running a couple of times per week, Gene moved me ontoother projects. The next one examined cellular signatures and the reasons for organdeterioration. I coupled Chaos theory and a small receiver/transmitter to produce a skin sensingEMF shield.September 1992 - Gene and the Crown Chakra Incident - Since I had been heavily involved inmagnetics through the adiabatic reactor research, I started moving in other directions. I came upwith a plan to create a pair of monopoles that might be able to emulate quantum functions at aclassical level. Doing this required some rather exotic materials, which I procured, and a device toperform the magnetic imprinting. So I made a field generator that was so powerful it could erasecredit cards at 6 feet. Gene came in contact with this generator and it got pretty funny.February 1993 - Christopher’s Project - We moved Christopher’s project over to amanufacturer recommended by Gene and examined mass production. At the same time Ireceived another contract for devices used in the food and packaging industries.January 1994 - Ericka Learns to Drive - Finally after 18 years of bugging her, Ericka learned todrive. A bit about what happened, it wasn’t scary stuff, just funny at times.April 1994 - Ericka’s Driving Test - What a mess, even when you do everything right the

government always has a reason to screw you around. Graduated driving was coming in and theywanted people to be retested so they would fall into the new program. Not this time, I approachedpeople at Thornton and taped them. I called MOT and told them exactly what I was going to do.Ericka got her retest in about a week and it was organized by the director at MOT. They reallyshouldn’t piss off people like me, who can read past the paperwork.

I agreed but I told him to ‘showme’ he was serious, get me a company car and pay me well.February 1996 - My Firebird Convertible Arrives, Could this be real? - Well, Littlemanordered me a brand new Firebird LT1 Formula 6 speed convertible. He’s made his point. I wentonboard with Powermaster as a working shareholder and director, but maintained my existing 3rd

party contracts.March 1996 - Unanimous Shareholders Agreement - The shareholders agreement was a bitmessy, it needed to be changed. April 1996 - Unanimous Shareholders Agreement Signed - I signed off on the deliberatelyunaltered agreement in April.

contracts and work exclusively with Powermaster.

Ihad after all hand picked the car, put in the order and fought for its delivery for 5 months. I alwayswanted a Vette, I guess it just wasn’t in the cards.June 1997 - Natalia and the Confrontation - This damn near killed me. I found out that Nataliawas working with Littleman. He had hoped that I would just run off with her and leave the country,it’s what she seemed to hope for as well. I broke it off with her, I wasn’t about to be anyone’spawn or plaything. It was a very ugly day in my life and I wanted to die.June 1997 - My Apology to Gene - I called Gene and told him he was 100% right aboutLittleman and Farmer. They were simply human garbage.

Ericka has done all of their work on me, for them. But they settle, not at the parvalue of the shares, but rather at around 2.5%. Bloody ridiculous, but they have waged a war ofattrition and quite honestly, I was spent. I took the deal under duress and signed the fraudulentdocuments and license agreements. I felt like my life was over. I had lost $30 million using ink onpaper. I had lost my girlfriend. I felt like I had lost any sanity left in me. So now I was just anotherbroken thing in the wake of Powermaster’s malicious ship of fools.

21 Ten Months of Peace in the Dead Zone

Not my problem, I wasn’tworking for them anymore.November 1998 - A Defective Defence - In a frenzy Powermaster submitted a defectivedefense.

About the Author

I have been operating in the field of engineering for 35 years. My resume itself reads like a book, themain body being about 18 pages plus the software lists, projects managed pages, products developedpages and the teaching, public lecture and presentation pages.

In the beginning, I worked for the private sector primarily but this changed in 1986 when I was absorbedinto the military machine in South Africa. Once back in Canada I worked for government researchinstitutions and their clients as well as universities and private research ventures.

The book is NON-FICTION, I am changing the artwork and adding real names to the South Africahalf of the book. I originally labeled it fiction because I wanted a little extra legal protection, butnow I don’t care.
