Most of Hollywood’s greatest scripts have come from original personal stories. Truth Never Dies is one personal story you will never forget. It reads like fiction, but is too idiosyncratic to have come from one’s imagination. It tells the compelling true – life account of one of Washington’s most visible and successful lobbyists, Dr. William C. Chasey.
For over 20 years, Chasey enjoyed extraordinary unfettered access to all Members of the United States Congress. A committed family man, he didn’t rely on the usual tools of the lobby trade, big money, free trips, lavish parties, etc. No, he was known for his insightful political knowledge and his command of legislative tactics. He depended on his reputation and integrity to lobby on behalf of his prestigious clients. He was an accomplished academician who found his real niche, not in the university research lab, but in the political labyrinth of Capitol Hill.

Dr. Chasey not only loved his job, but relished the access he had to some of the most interesting and powerful political luminaries in the world, access he earned through trust and personal relationships. He liked to think of himself as a “shoe leather lobbyist,” someone who walked the halls of the Capitol and worked hard at what he did because he absolutely loved it and because it made the world a better place to live. No one ever questioned his motives or integrity.
That all changed in 1992 when Chasey was hired to open communications between Libya and the U.S. Congress. Dr. Chasey did his job too well and terrified the Clinton Administration when he successfully took a sitting U.S. Congressman to Tripoli for discussions with Libyan Leader Muammar Qadhafi. The last thing the Administration wanted was a Congressional oversight investigation by some of Chasey’s Congressional friends. Chasey had to be stopped!
This book is about Dr. Chasey’s life and not about Libya. It focuses on abuses of state power in which the CIA, FBI, IRS and the Federal Judiciary conspired to prevent him from opening a dialogue between Libya and the U.S. Congress, and then tried to blackmail him into using his unique access to the Libyan leadership to initiate a CIA sponsored assassination of the two Libyan Intelligence Officers who were indicted for blowing up Pan Am 103.
This shocking real-life story describes what these feared institutions did to punish Chasey and his family. His refusal to cooperate with the CIA resulted in the obliteration of his reputation, a 6-year FBI investigation, an FBI sting operation, financial ruin, criminal charges, and incarceration in Federal prison.
This book is not about payback; it is not about anger and resentment. It simply tells the truth about the unjust persecution Chasey suffered at the hands of the Clinton Administration. “I fully expect that the Government will deny what I have said. But now that my story is written, I am confident that it will never die, because Truth Never Dies.”
Truth Never Dies is being published by www.bettieyoungsbooks.com, and is available on Amazon.com. Chasey has also written a screenplay based on his book.
