In this episode of The Terry Stone Connection, Dave sits down with Terry to talk about his extraordinary life, from his early days as a safe blower, to becoming connected with serious underworld figures, to ending up on the battlefields of Angola as a mercenary fighting communist-backed guerrillas.

And then there’s the story that sounds almost impossible to believe…

Dave Tomkins claims he was hired to kill Pablo Escobar.

This is a wild journey through crime, danger, war, survival and the kind of old-school underworld stories you simply don’t hear anymore.

Raw, outrageous and unbelievable, this is the Dave Tomkins story.

A Disney cruise should be the last place you expect to see law enforcement boarding the ship and crew members being escorted away.

But that’s exactly what has been reported after U.S. Customs and Border Protection boarded multiple cruise ships in San Diego as part of a major investigation into child sexual exploitation material.

Reports say 28 cruise workers were interviewed/detained across eight ships, with authorities stating that 27 of them were connected to receiving, possessing, transporting, distributing or viewing illegal material. Disney Cruise Line confirmed that some of the workers were connected to its ships, but said the majority were not Disney Cruise Line employees and that anyone involved from their company is no longer employed there.

In this Terry Stone Connection reaction, Terry looks at the shocking headlines, what has actually been confirmed, how the story unfolded, and why this has caused such a huge reaction online, especially because it involves the name Disney, family cruises, and serious allegations that no one can ignore.
