Early on the morning of November 11, 2008, I had a dream and it went as follows:
(Comment: In the beginning of my spiritual journey, I did not have the full understanding that I do now regarding the dreams that I encountered. I now knw that the dreams are a way for the other side to communicate information to me. So in most instances though I appear to be seeing them through my eyes, it is actually through the eyes of another. So when in my dream, I will state that it is through another’s eyes that I am seeing the circumstances.)
Dream seemed to be about me work for the FBI again. What is interesting is someone had given me an old red book dated 1942 about an old FBI case. In it were pictures of old Los Angeles. I was then somehow transported back to that time, riding a bicycle possibly with a relative on a dirt road. There were fields and deer, sparsely populated, knowing full well that the current time (it was) all black topped and built over, roads and freeways.
Just before I woke up back at the FBI trying to give pictures from old book to someone. Leaving disappointed because they were busy.
(Comment: The dream may have been General Stilwell indicating his attempt to inform the FBI of Chinese corruption within the U.S. government, but being rejected by the FBI as not being interested.)

Out of nowhere this came to me: January 14 or 19, 1942, red book, 1942.
(Comment: I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out but kept the information knowing eventually I would finally figure it out somehow.)
April 27, 2010
Well, I couldn’t believe it. In May 2009 the other side indicated to me things of interest – one was the date 01/14/1942, red book, 1942. I found it – I couldn’t believe it.
The book is The U.S. Crusade in China, 1938-1945, by Michael Schaller, published by Columbia University Press, 1979.
The paper cover is grey but the book is red. The date refers to when LtGen Joe Stilwell was assigned to work in China. The problems surrounding the appointment and the pollical behavior regarding China.
On page 94 of aforementioned book: “When the war began, Stilwell had rushed from California to Washington, where early indications suggested he would be among those chosen to lead forces in Europe. Discussions with fellow officers in the War Department greatly disturbed the general, for he believed that Roosevelt had fallen under the sway of the British and behaved like a pompous military amateur. Stilwell expressed great surprise when, on January 14, 1942, Secretary Stimson told him that the general’s “finger of destiny” pointed in the direction of China.”
New York Times, dated May 23, 1948 was a review written by Ira Wolfert regarding the book The Stilwell Papers, by Joseph W. Stilwell, arranged and edited by Theodore H. White, 357 pp. New York: William Sloane Associates. According to Wolfert:
“But what truly makes the book a success is its evocation of tragedy. Tragedy stalks every paragraph here. It lurks among the lines of rollicking poems the General wrote to let off steam. It shadows the intrigue and mutes the festive clash of antagonistic daggers finding their way to highly placed backs – tragedy of yellow, brown and white people fighting and dying selflessly while their leaders and their leaders’ satraps played their own rapacious and untidy little games.”
Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-1945 by Barbara W. Tuchman, published by The MacMillan Company, New York, NY, 1970, 1971.
Page 458: “(John) Service was another China-born member of the Embassy’s staff, ‘the ablest group of young diplomats,’ according to Eric Sevareid, ‘I had ever seen in a single American mission abroad. They were the best informed foreigners in China.’ Along with two other second secretaries, Raymond Ludden and John Emmerson, Service had recently been recruited, much to the Ambassador’s annoyance, as political adviser by Stilwell’s headquarters in Chungking.”
Stilwell was recalled from China, leaving October 27, 1944:
Page 506: “In the midst of the press furor Stilwell reached home shores at Palm Beach on Thursday November 2, (1944) five days before the election, and was smuggled into Washington the next day under security regulations as tight as if he had been Rudolf Hess just defect from the enemy. His wartime mission of little glory and no thanks was matched by his reception at home. There was no welcome appropriate to what Stimson called “the most difficult task assigned to any American in the entire war.” Stilwell was an embarrassment to his superiors; the visible symbol of their retreat. In their anxiety to keep attention away from him, the White House and War Department could think only to keep him out of sight. Presumably for fear of attracting the press, neither Marshall or Stimson came to meet him; in fact Stimson, who knew the time of his arrival, left by plane for his weekend home from the same airport half an hour earlier. Stilwell was met by his wife and by Marshall’s aid, Colonel Frank McCarthy, who had instructions to get him off the airplane and out of the airport without being seen. He was escorted to guest quarters at Fort Myer across the street from Marshall’s house where he was greeted by General Handy and General Surles, chief of Army public relations, who warned him not to talk.”
Page 507: “The M.P.s and protective custody and secrecy accompanied him across the country to California and he continued to be muzzled at home. Followed everywhere by the press ready with notebooks and microphones for anything he wanted to say, and bursting with the need to speak, he telegraphed General Surles to know when the ban would be lifted. The answer was the refuge of the bureaucrat: “The less you say the stronger your position becomes.’ The excuse for muzzling was no longer valid, if it ever had been, but no one really wanted Stilwell to make it too plain, as he had once before, that what had taken place, this time to American effort, was ‘a hell of a beating.'”
Page 531: “In great things, wrote Erasmus, it is enough to have tried. Stilwell’s mission was America’s supreme try in China. He made the maximum effort because his temperament permitted no less; he never slackened and he never gave up. Yet the mission failed in its ultimate purpose because the goal was unachievable. The impulse was not Chinese. Combat efficiency and the offensive spirit, like the Christianity and democracy offered by missionaries and foreign advisors were not indigenous demands of the society and culture in which they were brought. Even the Yellow River Road that Stilwell built in 1921 had disappeared twelve years later.
China was a problem for which there was no American solution. The American effort to sustain the status quo could not supply an outworn government with strength and stability or popular support.
It would not hold up a husk nor long delay the cyclical passing of the mandate of heaven.
In the end China went her own way as if the Americans had never come.”
On October 12, 1946, General Joseph W. Stilwell died at Letterman Hospital after having been diagnosed with stomach cancer which was found during surgery conducted on October 3, 1946. The previous summer he had been an observer of two tests of the atomic bomb that took place at Bikini in the Marshall Islands, July 1946. Upon returning home, after being away for a month, his wife recognized a marked change in his physical appearance. He suffered chills, occasional dizziness and bouts of exhaustion.
Shebovgan Press, Wisconsin, October 15, 1971, 25 Years Ago Today. October 15, 1946.
San Francisco (UPI) – “The ashes of Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, hero of the 1942 retreat from Burma, will be scattered over the Pacific Ocean Wednesday after simple, private funeral services at his Carmel, Calif home.”
Later on:
Oakland Tribune, July 25, 1966, pages 1 and 7, Stilwell’s Plane Lost Over Sea.
“A massive air-sea search continued today for a DC-3 which vanished over the Pacific in route to Hawaii yesterday with Brig. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell Jr and two veteran Southern California fliers aboard.
Stilwell, 54, son of the late Gen. Joseph W. (Vinegar Joe) Stilwell who gained fame in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II, is training commander of the renowned ‘Green Beret’ forces.”
The Daily News, August 1, 1966, Huntington and Mt. Vernon, Pennsylvania, page 5, Coast Guard Ends Search for Stilwell:
San Francisco (UPI) – “The Coast Guard has officially ended its search for Army Brig. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell (Jr), a respected combat officer who disappeared with two other men nine days ago on a flight from here to Honolulu.”
