I am not calling this guy a liar, because I don’t know him. However, with such claims I think it is worth looking into. I am going to need some help with the Kung Fu San Soo claims (it just seems like a short time to become such a high rank, but I don’t know).

One claim that I have already found to be suspicious was the Department of Defense police officer position from 1980-1982. From what I have read, which I admit is pretty limited so far; the DOD quit providing security for Hamilton in 1978 and hired a civilian company.

According to the California Bureau of Security Investigative Services website, Mr. Ewens is an instructor in good standing, since 1987.

I am currently drafting FOIA letters to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the California Peace Officers Standards and Training (help with that will be appreciated). I am currently awaiting a response from Mr. Ewens via e-mail. I will keep you updated.

John.. Keep us posted with what you find with the FOIA documents, they should be scanned and posted into this thread as image attachments for transparency.

I'm sure someone with a background in the Chinese arts will assist.
