I was never charged nor imprisoned for any activities relating to the Merc School including the India Air - Sikh incident and the assassination attempts on the Gandhis.
Frank Camper...was an FBI informant which is often translated into "working for" the FBI. Whether this association came about out of a sense of duty or rather because of a convenient piece of diplomatic timing resulting in self-preservation is not clearly known. What is clear is that he was viewed as suspicious and dangerous by more than one arm of the US government and by other western governments. Camper was a southern right-wing redneck with a known association with both the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi groups in the US.
In 1980 Frank Camper started the Mercenary Association. From the small town of Dolomite, Alabama, near Birmingham, he operated the association's training course known as the Merc School...
…Camper claimed that he would train anyone except someone intending to overthrow the US government or communists. Supposedly there was a background check done on every applicant to the school to prevent being implicated in some communist plot.
…Camper's operation was more akin to an extended paintball game with the odd bit of useful personal tactics thrown in and heaped up with ridiculous levels of cruelty. It sold well to the mercenary wannabe's attempting to establish their manhood through some foolish rite of mock combat and torture at the hands of a bunch of semi-literate rednecks...
...three western governments agreed to cooperate on a fact finding mission. With that, three special forces operators, with years of training and experience, not from the US, infiltrated Camper's school.
The first thing exposed was the background check. It was non-existent. One operator's cover was purposely made very loose. Any background check would have shown communist leanings and an anti-American background. He was accepted at the Merc School without hesitation….
…Camper was arrested in 1986 and charged with conspiracy to blow up the cars of three women in California. He was found guilty and sentenced to nine years in prison. On appeal, one of the charges was overturned.
That isn't the telling part of that tale though. During the trial and again during the appeal he claimed to be a high-level US government intelligence agent. He was invited to prove it. He could produce no evidence nor a credible witness to verify his claim and the assertion was dismissed.
When Camper was being served a warrant by the Dolomite, Alabama sheriff, Camper heard of the approaching lawman and fled into the woods. The sheriff organized a posse of locals and went after him. Frank Camper, who was supposedly a world-class expert in escape and evasion was easily captured - by a posse of civilian turkey hunters.

Then there would be no further reason to respond to you.

Let's say that although the Merc School was a success, it was not well loved by all agencies. Especially the ATF who took umbrage with us having greater firepower than they did.

Crazyness, you guys were the beast of the best. Send any of these computards out in the woods in the middle of the night and see how they act. "Pants down with there dick in the dirt" People have no respect for old school Americans.
You should open up this school again I would support fully and pay to support for sure.

You're doing good work here allurchips, but I have a feeling he is Camper...except for that silly Montauk stuff? That has me scratching my head.
Having said that, it wouldn't make him any less of a poser now would it?

I am just trying to get at an understanding here, so please bare with me. You state that you have had over 10,000 pages censored from 12 books. That is over 850 pages removed from each book. I am misunderstanding something? I am not familiar with the editting process so please help me out with this. What kind of books are these? Are you really meaning 850 pages per book that was was removed?
Redacted does not mean wholly censored and I mean exactly what I said. I also have over a dozen unpublished manuscripts and some manuscripts which were only published OCONUS.

Herein lies the problem. Your writing was redacted through a process. You were not releasing information over a hot mic like you are now in this forum. There is no one to "clear" what you say in here. You state that you will not give out classified information, but you do not have the authority to determine what is or is not classified and as I stated previously, unclassified information when combined with other unclassified information can become classified and the authority to determine that threshhold is over your head. If you are what you say then you could find yourself in hot water. If you are what you say.

Thanks for your concern but I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself and others previously connected with and to me.

Mercenary Camp Instructor Attacked by Prison Inmates
December 21, 1987|United Press International
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — Former Alabama mercenary school instructor Frank Camper was attacked in Leavenworth's federal prison and scalded with boiling water, forcing prison officials to isolate him, his sister said.
Camper, 41, is serving a 14-year sentence for playing a role in the August, 1985, firebombings of cars belonging to two disgruntled former teachers with a chain of prep schools in Orange and San Bernardino...
...Frances Camper Freeman told the Birmingham (Ala.) News that her brother was attacked in early November by other inmates after he saw a note saying "merc" or "60 Minutes government rat" on his chair in the television room.
Based on letters and telephone calls, she says her brother was jumped by five other inmates when he left the room and one inmate poured boiling water on his back.
Camper was cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident, but is kept isolated from other prisoners and given few privileges for his safety…
…Birmingham attorney Bill DelGrusso said Camper's run-in with the inmates was the result of a repeat presentation of a CBS "60 Minutes" news segment on Camper and his mercenary camp. DelGrusso said because the report characterized Camper as a snitch, he became a target in the prison.
