X Rubicon: Crossing Life, Sex, Love, & Killing in CIA Proxy Wars -- An indictment of US Citizens - Paperback

Griobhtha, Sean: - Sean Griobhtha (Author)Sean Griobhtha (pronounced gree-O-tah) is a former U.S. Army Ranger combat veteran (1978-1982) and an unapologetic anti-fascist. During his service, he participated in Operation Eagle Claw and led Ranger teams in Central and South American CIA proxy operations. Haunted by the punitive, retaliatory discharge of his former trainee, Rubicon, Griobhtha spent decades searching for him. Prior to securing the unprecedented ODNI authorization for X Rubicon, Griobhtha spent three years conducting an exhaustive, covert investigation-tracking down pilots, Electronic Warfare Officers, Navy SEALs, CIA analysts, DEA personnel, and foreign nationals across Latin America to verify the operational timelines and geopolitical betrayals documented in this book. While he holds the pen as the principal architect and writer of the Crossing Rubicons project, he acknowledges that the blood, memories, and soul of the text belong entirely to Rubicon.Rubicon (Subject & Co-Creator)"Rubicon" is the ODNI-mandated pseudonym for a former Air Force Special Operations (AFSOC) and CIA military Scout (1979-1982). Operating as a lone ground controller for AC-130H Spectre gunship strikes and executing close-quarters eliminations, he completed 18 combat assignments across 14 classified proxy war operations. Originally awarded the Air Force Cross, two Silver Stars, four Bronze Stars, and the CIA Distinguished Service Medal, he was stripped of his rank and honors when his conscience shattered and he refused to kill further. X Rubicon is the unfiltered transmission of his lived experience, his 40-year battle with severe moral injury and PTSD, and his ultimate refusal to remain silent.Julie / Mrs. Rubicon (Foreword)Julie holds a Master's degree in Pastoral Care and Psychology, with decades of experience tutoring dyslexic students and working within the court system to rehabilitate at-risk youth.
