Mission Briefing
Toxicology reports from recent arrests and deaths in the Harfleur region of Queens, New York indicate rapidly increasing usage of a previously unknown narcotic drug. Contacts in the area report that the drug is mainly being used by a subset of the sizeable Haitian community in Harfleur. They call the drug "Dreaming Man." It is known to be distributed by a local Haitian gang or "posse." Due to the insular nature of the gang and the community, however, attempts to determine the source of the drug have been unsuccessful.
The appearance of the Dreaming Man drug coincides with recent allegations of federal agents' participation in narcotics trafficking in the Harfleur area. The Reverend Thomson Ezekiel of Southside AME Church (22nd Street, Harfleur) has on several occasions in the past two months made reference to having witnessed such participation. Note, however, that preliminary investigation of these allegations uncovered no corroborating evidence.
Attached is a summary report of DEA analysis of "Dreaming Man." A recent victim of the drug, Anton Royce, remains under observation in the psychiatric ward of Faith Hospital in Queens, New York. The unusual nature and properties of the compound and the coincidence of allegations of official involvement in its distribution warrant careful investigation.
The Delta Green liaison for this operation is Supervisory Special Agent Andre Jones (Agent OSBORNE), Drug Enforcement Administration, New York Division.
