       1001 Club
       By: Firestarter Date: January 4, 2019, 10:37 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Since I’ve been investigating drugs and money laundering
       regularly members of the 1001 Club appear to be involved. The
       1001 Club was founded by, co-founder of the Bilderberg Group and
       WWF, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands supposedly to raise
       funds for the eugenics WWF.
       The 1001 Club has included several members of Royal families
       (including Bernhard’s friend, Prince Philip, husband of Queen
       Elizabeth) and some controversial (other) dictators.
       Several members of the Rothschild and Rockefeller families got
       together in the 1001 Club.
       Also the following major players in Dope Inc. were part of the
       1001 Club.
       [I]Robert Vesco[/I]
       Vesco was a good friend of Prince Bernhard.
       In 1973, Vesco  was accused of stealing $224 million from the
       IOS.
       He illegally contributed $200,000 to Richard Nixon’s campaign
       funds. He was also a friend of Richard’s nephew, Donald Nixon.
       [I]Dr. Alfred Hartmann[/I]
       In 1976 became vice-chairman of the drug producing Hoffman-La
       Roche, and in 1978 its CEO.
       In 1983, was selected by Baron Elie de Rothschild as general
       manager of Rothschild Bank AG of Zurich. Resigned from
       Hoffman-La Roche, to work for various Rothschild organisations.
       Also vice-chairman of the NY-Inter Maritime Bank of Geneva,
       which was headed by his close ally Bruce Rappaport.
       Friend of former CIA director William Casey.
       Major shareholder in the Bank of New York.
       Chief financial officer for BCC Holding.
       Head of BCCI’s secretly controlled Swiss affiliate, Banque de
       Commerce et Placements (BCP).
       Also director of BNL that was accused of providing $3 billion in
       loans to Saddam Hussein for the Iraqi  missile programs.
       [I]Agha Hasan Abedi[/I]
       In 1972, founder and then chairman of BBCI.
       According to an NBC report, from 1984 to 1986 Abedi met (then
       CIA director) William Casey every couple of months in a
       Washington Hotel, where they discussed the Iran-Contra
       arrangement.
       BBCI was also used to fund the poppy growing Afghanistan
       Mujahedeen.
       [I]Tibor Imgas Rosenbaum[/I]
       In 1958, set up the Swiss Banque du Credit International (BCI)
       with the help of Edmond de Rothschild. Laundered money for Meyer
       Lansky. Significant shareholder in Permindex.
       In the early 1960s, BCI bought a significant stake in Henry
       Luce’s Time Life.
       Financed Mossad operations.
       [I]Peter Munk[/I]
       Born in Hungary, later one of the wealthiest men in Canada and a
       skiing partner of Prince Charles.
       In 1983, together with the Iranian arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi,
       founded Barrick Gold (the world’s largest gold-mining
       corporation) of which Munk became the CEO. Nat Rothschild sits
       on the advisory board of Barrick and is also a business partner
       with Munk in other projects.
       Khashoggi has close ties to the British royal family and was
       helped in the earlier stages of his career by the Bin Laden
       family.
       Barrick once purchased the rights to a gold mine in Nevada —
       containing $10 billion in gold — for only $10,000.
       In 1967, Munk was accused of insider trading:

       Henrik Kruger - The Great Heroin Coup; Richard Nixon
       By: Firestarter Date: January 5, 2019, 10:44 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In this post a book by the Danish Henrik Kruger.
       The value of this book to this thread is that it takes a
       different perspective than the other books I’ve posted about.
       Kruger starts his investigation in France, and winds up in South
       America and the US.
       Maybe the most important information, is that also disgraced US
       President Richard Nixon was connected to the mob. I´ll add some
       information on Nixon after my summary of the book.
       There is at least one aspect that I disagree with; Kruger claims
       that until the beginning of the 1970s Marseille, France was the
       biggest heroin exporter with the Turkish poppy production. As
       far as I can tell, Turkey was never near the largest poppy
       producer in the world...
       According to Kruger, the Marseille heroin monopoly by the
       Corsican Mafia, mainly used Paraguay to transfer the heroin. It
       was replaced by the CIA-backed monopoly of South East Asia
       heroin exported to the US through Mexico.
       Kruger starts his investigation with the French crook Christian
       David.
       When David was locked up in prison; 1961 he was released after
       making a deal with Pierre Lemarchand to join the terror
       organisation of French intelligence agency SAC.
       In 1965, David  was recruited by French intelligence agency
       SDECE: and sent to Africa and South America, for activities that
       included murders.
       In 1965, David was involved in the assassination of Ben Barka in
       Paris, who was a political enemy of Moroccan King Hassan.
       David claimed Antoine Guerini told him he hired Lucien Sartri,
       who recruited 2 Frenchmen, to kill John F. Kennedy.
       This was confirmed by Michel Nicoli, who named the other 2
       snipers as Francois Chiappe and Jean-Paul Angeletti.
       In 1971, 29 drug refineries in South East Asia were dismantled,
       including one that was disguised as a Pepsi Cola plant, financed
       with USAID money.
       In 1975, Sam Gianca was extradited to Mexico, from where he was
       sent to France to face trial. En route to France he was murdered
       by US agents.
       In 1975, Alberto Sicilia-Falcon arrested, who claimed that CIA
       had $260 million on Swiss accounts for covert operations:
       The FBI destabilised Mexican government, after President
       Echevaria refused loans from World Bank and IMF.
       In 1976, convicted cocaine and marijuana smuggler Kenneth Gordon
       Burnstine would testify against Mitch Werbell III (who was in
       business with John Singlaub). Before he could; he died in a
       plane crash, and Werbell was acquitted.
       Juan Cesar Restoy tried to get his freedom and hundreds of
       thousands dollars by threatening to expose a close friend of
       Richard Nixon as a drug trafficker; Restoy was shot and killed
       by narcotics agents.
       Santo Trafficante Jr. knew Jack Ruby, and was an associate of
       Meyer Lansky and Jim Hoffa, who supported Richard Nixon.
       Nixon was involved with real estate firms that laundered
       Lanksy’s money.
       IOS millionaire Robert Vesco, who handled Lansky’s money, was a
       friend of Nixon.
       There is relatively large amount information added since 1980.
       Henrik Kruger also wrote the following book (I haven´t found a
       freely viewable version, here are some exceprts) – [I]The Great
       Heroin Coup: Drugs, Intelligence and International Fascism[/I]
       (1980):

       -------------------------
       In March 1985, Capital Cities Communications (formerly named
       Mary Carter Paint Company) bought the giant ABC network.
       Some of the major players in Capital Cities are:
       William Casey, former CIA director, was a founder in 1954. Casey
       was also a major shareholder.
       Tom Dewey, former New York governor and twice Republican
       candidate for president, was also a founder.
       Tom Murphy, also a director of Texaco and IBM, was Capital
       Cities’ president in 1985.
       In 1959, Capital Cities was purchased by an investment group
       that included Lowell Thomas, Thomas Dewey and John Crosby, who
       were also prominent in Resorts International.
       The late James Crosby (son of John Crosby) was a close friend of
       Nixon; he donated $100,000 to his campaign in 1968. James would
       become chief executive of Mary Carter/Resorts International and
       his sister would become Tom Murphy's wife.
       James Crosby played host to the (then) recently deposed Shah of
       Iran at Resorts International's hotel on Paradise Island in the
       Bahamas.
       James Crosby was also a friend of Charles “Bebe” Rebozo, who was
       also in business  with Santo Trafficante.
       See Rebozo with Nixon.

       In 1968, the Mary Carter Paint Company changed its name to
       Capital Cities Communications and concentrated on hotels and
       casinos in Atlantic City and the Bahamas.
       Later, it acquired Intertel, which specialised in private
       "security" and intelligence gathering for corporate and other
       clients. Some of these clients were close the CIA, including
       ITT, Anastasio Somoza, the Shah of Iran and Howard Hughes'
       empire of casinos and arms manufacturers.
       Resorts International was involved with Robert Vesco and the
       Meyer Lansky crime syndicate:

       (archived here:
  HTML http://archive.is/TbK9v)
       On 30 October 1978, it was reported that the principle investors
       of Resorts International were Meyer Lansky, Tibor Rosenbaum,
       William Mellon Hitchcock, David Rockefeller, and Baron Edmond de
       Rothschild.
       In one of those strange coincidences, in 1987 Donald Trump
       purchased his first casino interests when he acquired 93% of the
       shares in Resorts International.:

       Kruger – Condor, Shackley, Olof Palme assassination
       By: Firestarter Date: January 6, 2019, 11:11 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I´ve found a good 2 part article by Henrik Kruger on the
       circumstances surrounding the murder of Olof Palme in February
       1986. It was written in 1988. It explains how drugs and money
       laundering finance terrorism. The most important man in this
       story is Theodore Shackley.
       It is not only relevant to this thread, but also to false flags,
       Propaganda Due(P2 ):
  HTML https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&p=5026#p5026
       The writer introduces some “unknown” organisations that control
       the international drug trade, money laundering. These
       organisations are intertwined (most of them I had not heard of).
       - Operation Condor: a terrorist organisation located in Chile
       affiliated with both the Chilean secret service and the CIA.
       - World Finance Corporation (WFC), the gigantic banking system
       that was set-up in Miami by Cuban exiles to launder money and
       finance terrorism.
       - World anti-Communist League (WACL): a terrorist supporting,
       fascist organisation under the guise of fighting Communism.
       - Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO): the
       intelligence agency for WACL, and in control of the CIA.
       - The Enterprise: the people specialised in money laundering and
       financing terrorism - Ted Shackley himself, Thomas Clines,
       Richard Secord and Albert Hakim.
       Michael Townley, for Condor, arranged a number of political
       murders, including Chile’s former Foreign Minister and
       Ambassador to the US, Orlando Letelier, by a car bomb. Townley
       had planned this murder with CIA trained Cuban exiles.
       In 1976, Townley was in Madrid together with the Italian
       terrorist Stephano delle Chiaie. They weren´t successful in
       assassinating Olof Palme on that occasion.
       Operation Condor carried out assassinations (mostly in Latin
       America). Condor was to a large extent supported by the CIA. In
       1974, it was disclosed by an American Senate committee, that CIA
       agents in Latin America had instructed Condor operatives in
       torture methods. At the time, the CIA chief for its Latin
       American branch was - Theodore Shackley.
       Condor´s Banzer plan (named after the Bolivian dictator) was
       especially brutal. It involved the torture and murder of nuns,
       priests and bishops, and included the assassination of El
       Salvadorian Archbishop Oscar Romero in 1980.
       The Condor agents were supported financially by WFC, mainly by
       drug money. WFC laundered the money and channelled it to the
       death squads and Cuban exile terrorist groups in a long
       succession of Latin American terrorist attacks during the
       1970’s.
       WFC was exposed and forced to close after a police investigation
       in the beginning of 1979.
       In 1961, Ted Shackley was already the CIA’s station chief in
       Miami. His closest colleagues were Thomas Clines and David Atlee
       Phillips. At the time Santo Trafficante was the USA’s largest
       narcotics importer.
       Later Shackley was transferred to Laos, where he allied himself
       with the heroin general Vang Pao and his Meo tribes warriors.
       The death campaign in Laos was controlled by Shackley. The Meo
       soldiers along with American Green Berets from the Special
       Operations Group, under the leadership of General John Singlaub,
       killed ten thousands of men, women and children. Singlaub had a
       young lieutenant working for him with the name of Oliver North,
       and a lieutenant major Richard Secord. All 3 would become
       leading figures in the Iran/Contra affair in the 1980s, and part
       of the “Secret team” of Ted Shackley.
       The Secret team also controlled the Nugan-Hand Bank in
       Australia, whose main activity was weapons and narcotics
       transactions.
       The Enterprise was led by Shackley himself, Thomas Clines,
       Richard Secord and Albert Hakim.  These were also heavily
       involved in Iran/Contra.
       Florida was the epicentre of large scale cocaine smuggling in
       connection with Iran/Contra.  This involved Shackley’s people.
       The court case was halted by Edward Meese, Reagan’s Attorney
       General.
       There was also a civil suit against Shackley crowd, including
       former WACL chief John Singlaub, for the bombing and
       assassination attempt on former Contra leader Eden Pastora that
       killed 7 people.
       The Croatian fascist Miro Baresic (a.k.a. Tony Saric) made
       explicit death threats against Palme.
       Baresic was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the
       Yugoslavian ambassador to Sweden. After his associates took a
       plane hostage and threatened to blow up the plane with the 86
       passengers aboard, the Swedish government released Baresic  and
       5 other imprisoned Croatians.
       They flew to Spain, and in the beginning of 1974 they flew to
       Paraguay. In Paraguay Miro Baresic worked directly under
       Condor’s Paraguay chief, head of the Security Police - Pastor
       Coronel.
       Baresic decamped to Uruguay, where he became a key operative for
       the Condor networks.
       In 1977, Baresic (under the name Tony Saric) came to the US on a
       diplomatic passport and acted as chief of security for
       Paraguay’s embassy in Washington DC. Later US law enforcement
       found out Baresic’s real identity and was extradited to Sweden.
       Baresic had requested for clemency.  These requests were
       personally blocked by Palme.
       When Olof Palme was murdered, Baresic was still in Swedish
       prison.  On the day Palme was killed, Baresic was on
       unsupervised leave.
       Yugoslavia had repeatedly and unsuccessfully pressed to have
       Baresic extradited. In December 1987, Miro Baresic was released
       and boarded a flight to his beloved Paraguay. Only after
       releasing him, the Swedish authorities decided they wanted to
       question him.
       In April 1978, there was a WACL conference in Washington DC in
       the presence of Baresic (under the alias Tony Saric). Two Swedes
       were also present, Ake J. Ek and Anders Larsson, as well as the
       Norwegian Tor Petter Hadland.
       Anders Larsson was also at this Washington conference of WACL.
       Larsson had good relationships with the Anti-Bolshevik Block of
       Nations (ABN) – a WACL umbrella organisation under.
       Ake Ek had various dealings with Hadland, Larsson, Miro Baresic,
       and numerous other neo-Nazis.
       Hadland was Erik Blucher’s right-hand man, Blucher was the
       leader of the Norwegian neo-Nazis. In 1981, Hadland settled in
       Orebro, Sweden while Blucher travelled to London. In 1983,
       Blucher left for Sweden (under the name Erik Olsen), where
       Hadland arranged an apartment for him.
       When Olof Palme was killed, 4 Scandinavian WACL adherents were
       in Sweden. It seems strange that the Swedish authorities had no
       interest at all in these Scandinavians that were part of the
       WACL that in the past had threatened Olof Palme.
       On 20 February 1986, Stieg Larsson delivered a mysterious letter
       with the text:  “[I]Palme Dead[/I]” (a week before Olof Palme
       was killed).
       One month before Palme’s death, the Yugoslavian mercenary Ivan
       von Berchan approached Alf Karlsson of Sapo (Sweden’s
       intelligence agency). Von Berchan stated that a CIA agent using
       the name George Moran had been offered $2 million to murder
       Palme.  He knew the CIA agent from Libya at the end of the
       1970s. Both Inger Baven and the secretary confirmed that Von
       Berchan had warned that Palme would be assassinated.
       Olof Palme supported both Cuba and Chile under Allende and later
       the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. This could be a motive for
       “neutralising” him.
       A short time before his death, Palme was making arrangements to
       stop the Bofors arms transports to Iran. This could also be a
       motive:

       (archived here:
  HTML http://archive.is/Jr7u3)
       In 1976, Michael Townley had also been in Stockholm for the
       (then unsuccessful) assassination attempt of Olof Palme.
       WACL’s official facade is the General Secretariat of the
       right-wing Moon religious movement’s building in Seoul, South
       Korea. WACL holds yearly official congresses and outwardly looks
       like a legitimate organisation.
       The death squadron’s leaders were members of WACL’s Latin
       American branch - CAL. Among their victims were the 72 killed
       when a Cuban airliner exploded over Barbados in 1975. That
       terrorist act was planned by members of the WACL Cuban exile
       group, Alpha-66.
       Shackley became the CIA’s chief of station in Vietnam. In 1972,
       he was relocated to Latin America. He became the chief of
       Operation Track II. Track II arranged a campaign of terror that
       led to Allende’s overthrow in Chile to bring Pinochet to power.
       Shackley’s Cuban exiles established the World Finance
       Corporation banking system in Miami. It was used to launder
       Mafia boss Trafficante’s drug money and then channelled to
       Condor and Cuban exiles terror groups, like Alpha-66, Omega-7
       and CORU.
       The investigation into WFC was stopped by the CIA. The policeman
       who headed the investigation told the press that at least 28 CIA
       agents had worked in the WFC bank.
       Shackley’s close associate, David Atlee Phillips, headed the
       AFIO.
       Two of Shackley’s associates trained terrorists in Libya,
       including Frank Terpil.  Terpil once explained to a journalist:
       [quote]It is in reality the assholes from AFIO that run the CIA
       from the outside, as a shadow leadership: Ted Shackley,
       Phillips, Angleton, Conein...[/quote]
       Bofors weapons were bought through Swedish weapons dealer
       Karl-Erik Smitz.
       The Danish ship Erria, smuggled Bofors weapons to both Iran and
       the Contras in South America. The Erria  was owned by Dolmy
       Business Inc, which was controlled by Richard Secord and Albert
       Hakim.
       The leader of Svenska Incorporated was the drug and weapons
       smuggler, Steven Samos.  Samos was a close business partner of
       “the Enterprise” and deeply involved in Contragate.
       Planes of St. Lucia Airways often transported Bofors weapons.
       St. Lucia was operated by “the Enterprise” and directed with the
       assistance of Oliver North.
       Former high level US military intelligence officer Gene Wheaton
       was stationed in Iran during the late 1970s.
       Wheaton and 2 colleagues, came across the illegal transactions
       of Shackley’s team and prepared a report on these activities.
       When Wheaton’s 2 colleagues were on their way to Washington with
       the report, they were conveniently murdered, and the report
       disappeared. Wheaton lists 17 murdered people by “the
       Enterprise”. There are many more, like Barry Seal and Don Arnow,
       who both had close connections to cocaine smuggler George
       Morales.
       Kevin Mulcahy died the day before he would have given testimony
       in the lawsuit against the narco-banking system WFC.
       Another chief witness, Steven Carr, was found dead of a drug
       overdose:

       Gary Webb - Dark alliance
       By: Firestarter Date: January 7, 2019, 12:33 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The sub topic on which I have most information to post in this
       thread is the cocaine importing orchestrated by Oliver North for
       the Reagan/Bush White House in which the Governor of Arkansas
       Bill Clinton was also involved.
       It shows that the whole Iran-Contra affair was a cover-up of the
       ugly truth that the CIA was making the crack epidemic of the
       1980s happen, and used the proceeds to finance the Contras in
       Nicaragua. Also some other Latin American countries were
       involved (notably the Panama of Dictator Manuel Noriega).
       Maybe Gary Webb’s book that I present in this post is a better
       book than the others in this thread because Webb presents almost
       an overkill of evidence. The result is that it’s too long for
       people that rather wait for the movie than read a book (the PDF
       counts 867 pages).
       Gary Webb is one of the suspicious deaths of the Clinton-Bush
       bodycount; on 9 December 2004 he was suicided. Conveniently
       Webb’s suicide letter was typed.
       According to Coroner Robert Lyons: “It’s unusual in a suicide
       case to have two shots, but it has been done in the past, and it
       is in fact a distinct possibility”.
       Webb was found with 2 bullets from a 38 calibre revolver in his
       head ((some claim even 3 pistol shots).
       One of the sources Webb had based his story on, Ricky Ross,
       spoke to Webb in the days before his death. Webb had told him
       that he was working on a new story concerning the CIA and drug
       trafficking:
  HTML http://www.rense.com/general60/move.htm
       I will to summarise the book, by presenting the most interesting
       names, with some additional information. And some nice pictures.
       PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN
       In March 1981, Ronald Reagan authorised the CIA to explore ways
       of aiding the Contras. By November 1981, the Contra project was
       already running, and the CIA made its sponsorship of the FDN
       official. Reagan approved the plans and in December 1981 sent
       CIA director William Casey to present it to Congress, saying
       that the covert operations for Nicaragua were in the interest of
       US national security.
       From 1981 to 1984, the CIA helped the Contras directly, by
       providing weapons, money, training, planning strategy and
       tactics, and keeping tabs on its hirelings.
       The Contras became too controversial (if I understand correctly
       about some minor technicalities like murdering some innocent
       people). On Christmas Eve 1982 the Boland amendment passed the
       House by a vote of 411–0. It looked like Congress was cracking
       down the Contra project, by cutting funding, but without
       actually doing so.
       By early 1983, CIA dollars were pouring into Honduras and Costa
       Rica, which benefitted the Contras. But the money the Contras
       received wasn’t nearly enough to finance the growing military
       organisation. The CIA recruited Norwin Meneses so that drug
       sales could be used to support the Contras.
       Ronald Reagan installed Oliver North to arrange the details.
       The following picture shows from right to left Ronald Reagan,
       Oliver North, Adolfo Calero (CIA operative installed as FDN
       commander) on 4 April 1985.

       lord Norwin Meneses on the far right, around June 1984

       OLIVER NORTH
       With the assistance of lawyer and then CIA-director William
       Casey, Oliver North created a network of offshore bank accounts
       to conceal the source of the drugs money.
       When the Boland Amendment went into effect in October 1984,
       day-to-day control of the Contra project passed to the Reagan
       White House and Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North at the National
       Security Council. The US government was business partners with
       cocaine traffickers.
       Norwin Meneses' cocaine was smuggled to the USA in military
       transport planes.
       In June 1985, on a yacht in the Pacific port of Balboa, North
       and Manuel Noriega made a deal that Panama would help to support
       the Contras; particularly by making airbases located in Panama
       available for the drugs for arms pipeline.
       The Columbian drug trafficker, George Morales, testified that in
       March 1984 in Fort Lauderdale he talked with 3 Contras close to
       the CIA, Octaviano Cesar, Adolfo "Popo" Chamorro and Marcos
       Aguado, who asked him to support the Contras and told him they
       worked for the CIA. Cesar and Aguado (old friends of Meneses)
       promised Morales that they could help make his “legal problems
       disappear”.
       Aguado, the chief pilot for the ARDE Contra forces in Costa
       Rica, was identified in a 1987 congressional testimony as a CIA
       agent.
       Morales said planeloads of weapons were flown to a ranch in
       Costa Rica owned by CIA-operative John Hull; a training area for
       Contra soldiers. After the arms were dropped off, large green
       duffel bags stuffed with cocaine from the Contras were loaded
       aboard and flown back to the United States, usually to the
       public airport at Opa Locka, Florida. A pilot, Gary "Hippie"
       Betzner, testified that their flights were protected by the CIA.
       In 1984, at a top-level meeting with DEA officials in
       Washington, North shocked the room by suggesting that $1.5
       million in cocaine cash the DEA planned to seize from the
       Medellin cartel should be turned over to the Contras.
       A $10 million donation from the Medellin cartel to the Contras
       was arranged by Carlos Lehder and paid to the Cuban (former) CIA
       agent Felix Rodriguez. Here’s a picture of George H.W. Bush and
       Rodriguez.

       Oliver North used Rob Owen to carry out orders and inform him on
       the CIA’s operation in Central and South America. In this way
       North could keep his hands clean.
       According to Oliver North’s personal notes in July and August
       1985 he was informed of the drugs trafficking by the Contras:
  HTML https://nsarchive.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/the-dark-alliance-declassified/
       North summarised a meeting with Rob Owen on 9 August 1985 and
       wrote down in his notebook: [quote]Honduran DC-6 which is being
       used for runs out of New Orleans is probably being used for drug
       runs into U.S.[/quote]

       MANUEL NORIEGA
       Manuel Noriega was the dictator of Panama that helped in the
       cocaine trafficking; he suddenly became an enemy of the USA and
       was sentenced to prison.
       In 1988, Noriega's pilots would fly up weapons for the Contras
       along with the drugs, leaving the guns behind in Costa Rica, and
       dumping the drugs in Louisiana and Texas.
       NORWIN MENESES
       Norwin Meneses Cantarero came from Nicaragua to the USA in 1979
       (he settled in Miami), and later moved to Costa Rica.
       In the 1980s, Meneses and Blandón became the biggest cocaine
       suppliers for the USA; both were working for (one or both of)
       the DEA and CIA.
       In 1982 and 1983, Blandón and Meneses brought 3 or 4 planeloads
       of cocaine from Miami to Los Angeles. Each one of those loads
       ranged between 200 and 400 kilos. These flights continued until
       at least 1984.
       When Meneses lived in Costa Rica he was dealing cocaine for the
       Contras. Meneses was one of the first economic supporters of the
       FDN in Costa Rica.
       Both to the Costa Rican authorities and the DEA knew that Norwin
       Meneses was a drug lord. The DEA was informed of Meneses' Costa
       Rican drug operations in February 1984.
       According to Contra supporter Dennis Ainsworth: Meneses was
       protected by the US government.
       Enrique Miranda Jaime, who became Meneses' emissary to the
       cartels of Colombia in the late 1980s, testified in his 1992
       trial in Nicaragua that: [quote]Norwin was selling drugs and
       tunnelled the benefits to the Contras with help of high-ranking
       military officials of the Salvadoran Army, especially with the
       help of the head of the Salvadoran Air Force and a Nicaraguan
       pilot named Marcos Aguado.[/quote] In 1992 Meneses was sentenced
       to prison. In January 1996, Gary Webb interviewed Meneses in the
       Tipitapa prison outside Managua.
       DANILO BLANDON
       On 5 July 5 1979 Oscar Danilo Blandón Reyes arrived at LAX from
       Nicaragua; he became partners with Norwin Meneses and used Ricky
       Ross to sell cocaine in Los Angeles.
       The Colombians advanced Blandón 15 kilos (worth about $885,000).
       He started out with 15 kilos a month and within a couple months
       had progressed to 30 kilos a month. According to Meneses between
       1980 and 1991 Blandón moved some 50,000 kilograms of cocaine to
       the USA.
       Blandón's DEA case agent, Charles Jones, stated in 1995 that Mr.
       Blandón was considered the largest Nicaraguan cocaine dealer in
       the United States.
       Blandón’s attorney, Bradley Brunon, said in court in 1992 that
       the DEA knew already in 1981 of Blandón's dope dealing.
       Blandón set both Meneses and Rocky Ross up, in return for a
       relatively small prison sentence. Blandón walked out of jail on
       19 September 1994 after serving only 28 months for 10 years of
       cocaine trafficking.
       RICK ROSS
       Ricky “Freeway” Donnell Ross was selling between 1,000,000 and
       1,250,000 doses of crack every single month in Los Angeles
       (20–25 rocks of crack per gram of powder, 20,000 to 25,000 per
       kilogram). At seven kilos a day, Ross was moving more than 200
       kilos of cocaine every single month. That meant he was pumping
       out around 165,000 vials of crack a day (5 million rocks a
       month).
       When in 1987 things got a little too hot for Ricky Ross in LA,
       he moved to Cincinnati. Pretty soon Blandón made him an offer he
       couldn’t refuse. Ross asked some of his associates to come over
       from LA, and took over the cocaine business not only of
       Cincinnati, but also Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Hamilton,
       Middle-town, Fairfield, Ohio, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Atlanta,
       Texas, and even in faraway Seattle.
       Ross said he sold 300 or 400 kilos of Blandón's cocaine in the
       Midwest, netting around $2 million in profits.
       When one of his dealers, Alphonso Jeffries, got locked up in
       prison, Ricky decided to go back home to LA in the fall of 1988.
       Right at that moment the LAPD was doing something against crack.
       In 1988, the sheriff's office hauled in $33.9 million in cash
       and another $33 million in 1989 — along with 66 houses, 110
       vehicles and 4 airplanes. In 1988, only the Majors had brought
       in 4,470 pounds of cocaine.
       Alphonso Jeffries had turned government witness against Ricky
       Ross. When Ross was finally arrested, the cops beat him up. Ross
       was asked to testify against the cops that had not only had
       beaten him up, but were also taking some of the money from the
       dealers. On 22 February 1990, a federal grand jury indicted 10
       deputies on 27 counts of theft, tax evasion, and conspiracy,
       Ricky Ross the star witness in 1991.
       Ross was released from federal prison in August 1993 and
       returned home to South Central. He still had another charge in
       Texas, to which he pleaded guilty, and re-entered prison in
       December 1993, until August 1994 when he was released.
       Then Blandón contacted Ricky Ross numerous times. Ross said he
       wanted to stay clean, but found a normal job too difficult, and
       the profits too low. When his friend, Chico Brown, asked Ross to
       introduce him and his friend from Baltimore, Curtis James, to
       his dealer, in return for the $30,000 Ross had already loaned,
       and an additional $70,000 for his troubles, Ross introduced them
       to Blandón.
       In late February 1995, Ross, Brown, and James were set up by
       government witness Blandón and were arrested. Ross's third
       strike; he was looking at a very long time in prison this time.
       Gary Webb repeatedly interviewed Ricky Ross in prison for his
       book.

       Kelso - Robert Vesco
       By: Firestarter Date: January 8, 2019, 12:01 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Chapter 17 from Gary Webb’s book – [I]We're going to blow your
       fucking head off[/I] – details the deposition by Joseph “Joe”
       Kelso.
       In 1986, the federal government sent Kelso to Costa Rica to
       search for Robert Vesco. Kelso found Vesco’s private jet, parked
       in a hanger in San Jose. The storage bills for the jet were paid
       for by the owners of the cocaine dealing CIA front, Frigorificos
       de Puntarenas, that was used by Oliver North to funnel US
       government money to the Contras.
       Kelso was taken to the US embassy, where DEA agents began
       copying the documents in his briefcase until Rob Owen (Oliver
       North’s aide) came in and took all the documents with him.
       The Rothschild's Swiss offices of Banque Privee, Banca Privata
       in Lugano SA, and Rothschild Bank AG of Zurich ran (from behind
       the scenes) the Swiss branches of the notorious Bank of Credit
       and Commerce International (BCCI) and Banco Nazionale del Lavoro
       (BNL).
       Alfred Hartmann, who headed the Swiss branches of both BCCI and
       BNL, had been a manager for Rothschild since 1983.
       Hartmann also served as the chief financial officer of BCC
       Holding.
       Georges Karlweis was on the board of both BCCI and BNL
       In New York in the early 1960s Robert Vesco was picked up by Dr.
       Benjamin Payne, a financial adviser to the Rothschilds.
       Payne, introduced Vesco to Georges Karlweis, the managing
       director of Edmond de Rothschild's Geneva merchant bank Banque
       Privee. In 1965, Karlweis provided Vesco with a "loan" that
       enabled him to buy the New Jersey defence-aerospace firm,
       Captive Seal, merging it with International Controls Corp (ICC).
       Two years later, Karlweis would provide a similar start-up
       capital to George Soros…
       From the very beginning, in 1950, lOS was a front-operation for
       the Meyer Lansky organised crime syndicate, sponsored ostensibly
       by the New York City Dreyfus Fund.
       Through his Rothschild connection, Vesco was also introduced to
       Henry Buhl III, heir to the General Motors fortune, and a board
       member of the Swiss Investors Overseas Services (IOS). Soon
       lOS's subsidiary lIT was swimming in ICC stock, and Vesco became
       even wealthier.
       In April 1972, Vesco began to systematically loot IOS of its
       cash. Vesco was acting for the Rothschild, Lansky crime
       syndicate.
       IOS officials knew, how first Cornfeld and then Vesco, were
       laundering money.
       When IOS was finished, Drexel emerged to take its position.
       Drexel was backed by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, who helped
       orchestrate Max Fisher's takeover of United Fruit Company in
       1975. Fisher in turn helped bankroll Cincinnati businessman Carl
       Lindner, who became one of Drexel's primary front men in a
       series of takeovers of a string of US companies.
       Lindner was joined by other Drexel clients, including Meshulim
       Riklis (of the Anti-Defamation League) who had helped Robert
       Vesco to take over lOS; Saul Steinberg (Jacob Rothschild’s
       business partner); Miami gangster Victor Posner; and hotel and
       media takeover specialist Laurence Tisch.
       Ironically in 1994 the Drug Policy Foundation (DPF), America's
       leading pro-drug lobby group, announced that it would receive
       $10.5 million over the next 3 years from George Soros:

       Kerry; Secret agreement CIA-DoJ
       By: Firestarter Date: January 9, 2019, 12:26 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Webb collected an impressive amount of information for his book,
       but he wasn’t the first.
       On 9 July 1987, 2 protesters, Michael L. Kreis and Michael E.
       Bardoff both from Baltimore, held up a banner "Ask about cocaine
       smuggling" during the Iran-Contra hearings, when Oliver North
       was lying under oath.
       Kreis and Bardoff were arrested, we can’t have activists trying
       to expose the ugly truth, when the government is trying really
       hard to cover it up, can we?
       While they were led away, they yelled things like: [quote]What
       about the cocaine dealing that the U.S. is paying for?
       Why don't you ask how many non-combatants have been killed by
       the . . . contras?
       Why don't you ask questions about drug deliveries?[/quote]
       They were charged with “disrupting a congressional hearing and
       demonstrating within a Capitol building”.
       Kreis and Bardoff were pronounced guilty in November 1987 (but
       only got a light sentence):
  HTML http://articles.latimes.com/1987-07-09/news/mn-3196_1_contras
       Maybe more interesting is the Committee led by Senator John
       Kerry, which concluded in a report released on 13 April 1989:
       That individuals who provided support for the Contras were
       involved in drug trafficking and the Contras knowingly received
       financial and material assistance from drug traffickers,
       including cash, weapons, planes, pilots, air supply services and
       other materials.
       Participation of narcotics traffickers in Contra supply
       operations through business relationships with Contra
       organisations. [quote]the CIA's Chief of the Central American
       Task Force went on to say: We knew that everybody around Pastora
       was involved in cocaine ... His staff and friends (redacted)
       they were drug smugglers or involved in drug smuggling.[/quote]
       The US State Department paid over $806,000, authorised by
       Congress, to known drug traffickers to “carry humanitarian
       assistance to the Contras”. In some cases after the traffickers
       had already been indicted by federal law enforcement agencies on
       drug charges, in others while traffickers were under active
       investigation by these same agencies:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerry_Committee_report
       In March 1998, the CIA Inspector General testified that from
       1982 to 1995 there had been a secret agreement between CIA and
       the Justice Department that the CIA didn’t have to report drugs
       offenses by its assets.
       The actual request from Central Intelligence Agency Director
       William J. Casey to Attorney General William French Smith to
       exclude “narcotics violations” from the “reportable offenses” is
       still kept secret.
       Here’s the reply by William French Smith to William Casey, dated
       11 February 1982:
       [quote]Dear Bill:
       Thank you for your letter regarding the procedures governing the
       reporting and use of information concerning federal crimes. I
       have reviewed the draft of the procedures that accompanied your
       letter and, in particular, the minor changes made in the draft
       that I had previously sent to you. These proposed changes are
       acceptable and, therefore, I have signed the procedures.
       I have been advised that a question arose regarding the need to
       add narcotics violations to the list of reportable non-employee
       crimes (Section IV). 21 U.S.C. 874(h) provides that `[w]hen
       requested by the Attorney General, it shall be the duty of any
       agency or instrumentality of the Federal Government to furnish
       assistance to him for carrying out his functions under [the
       Controlled Substances Act] . . .' Section 1.8(b) of Executive
       Order 12333 tasks the Central Intelligence Agency to `collect,
       produce and disseminate intelligence on foreign aspects of
       narcotics production and trafficking.' Moreover, authorization
       for the dissemination of information concerning narcotics
       violations to law enforcement agencies, including the Department
       of Justice, is provided by sections 2.3(c) and (i) and 2.6(b) of
       the Order. In light of these provisions, and in view of the fine
       cooperation the Drug Enforcement Administration has received
       from CIA, no formal requirement regarding the reporting of
       narcotics violations has been included in these procedures. We
       look forward to the CIA's continuing cooperation with the
       Department of Justice in this area.
       In view of our agreement regarding the procedure, I have
       instructed my Counsel for Intelligence Policy to circulate a
       copy which I have executed to each of the other agencies covered
       by the procedures in order that they may be signed by the head
       of each such agency.
       Sincerely,
       William French Smith[/quote]

       Casey in reply thanked French Smith, dated 2 March 1982:
       [quote]I am pleased that these procedures, which I believe
       strike the proper balance between enforcement of the law and
       protection of intelligence sources and methods, will now be
       forwarded to other agencies.[/quote]
       From 2 March 1982 to 3 August 1995, a Memorandum of
       Understanding (MOU) between the Attorney General and the DCI
       under Executive Order 12333 excluded reporting narcotics
       violations for "non-employees" of the CIA (like assets and
       independent contractors).
       This MOU was made public by Representative Maxine Waters (who
       did her own investigation on the drugs trafficking by the CIA in
       the wake of the Dark Alliance series by Gary Webb) on 7 May
       1998.
       See the following definition for "employee" from the MOU:
       [quote]C. `Employee' means:
       1. A staff employee or contract employee of an Agency;
       2. Former officers or employees of an Agency, for purposes of
       offenses committed during their employment; and
       3. Former officers or employees of an Agency, for offenses
       involving a violation of 18 U.S.C. 207[/quote]
       Then in Section “IV. NON-EMPLOYEE REPORTABLE OFFENSES” is
       prescribed which offenses by “non-employees” are “reportable”,
       the list excludes narcotics offenses.
       That secret understanding remained in effect until August of
       1995, when Attorney General Janet Reno rescinded the agreement.
       The 1995 MOU didn´t exclude drugs crimes (for non-employees).

       See the video about the Cocaine  Importing Agency, compiled by
       James Corbett (36:59).
       It includes interviews with “Freeway” Ricky Ross and Gary Webb
       (from 2003, 2004).
       Ricky Ross made $2 million dollars a day in his top period.
       On 14 December 2004, Kevin Booth calls Ricky Ross in prison to
       tell him that Gary Webb was “suicided”. Ross tells that Webb was
       looking forward to the future, his phone was tapped, people were
       following him, and when he got home at night there were
       “government people” people snooping around.
       Gary Webb was still investigating the case.

       There were some links with the video, amongst others to official

       On 10 February 1986, Rob Owen ("TC") wrote North ("BG")
       regarding a plane, belonging to the Miami-based company Vortex,
       run by Michael Palmer, one of the largest marijuana traffickers
       in the US. Palmer received over $300,000 from the Nicaraguan
       Humanitarian Aid Office (NHAO) - an office overseen by Oliver
       North, Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs
       Elliott Abrams, and CIA officer Alan Fiers - to ferry “supplies”
       to the contras.
       Reagan administration officials interceded on behalf of José
       Bueso Rosa, a Honduran general who was involved with the CIA's
       contra operations. In 1984, Bueso and co-conspirators hatched a
       plan to assassinate Honduran President Roberto Suazo Córdoba; to
       be financed with a $40 million cocaine shipment to the United
       States, which the FBI intercepted in Florida, after which Reagan
       interfered in his trial to give him a relatively light sentence:

       An import source for information to Gary Webb, were the 1990
       court testimonies of Fabio Ernesto Carrasco, a pilot for the
       Columbian drug smuggler George Morales. Carrasco testified that
       in 1984 and 1985, he piloted planes loaded with weapons to the
       Contras in Costa Rica. On the return flights, drugs were flown
       to the US.
       Carrasco also testified that Morales provided "several million
       dollars" to Octaviano Cesar and Adolfo "Popo" Chamorro, who
       worked with the head of the Contras' southern front, Eden
       Pastora.  Chamorro told him that he had called his CIA control
       officer to ask if the Contras could accept money and arms from
       Morales, who was under indictment for cocaine smuggling, which
       "was fine".

       Castillo – Powderburns; Robert Morrow
       By: Firestarter Date: January 11, 2019, 11:46 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       On with another “whistleblower” former DEA agent [B]Celerino
       Castillo III[/B]. I’m not sure about Castillo, who tries very
       hard to portray himself as an all-American hero. The problem
       with his book is that the most important “evidence” comes from
       other public sources.
       According to Castillo he was an important source for Webb...
       Castillo claims that he "[I]quickly discovered that the Contra
       pilots were, indeed, smuggling narcotics back into the United
       States[/I]”.
       Castillo attempted to seek justice, by reporting on Oliver North
       and George H.W Bush on 24 March 1986. Castillo found that Craig
       Chretien was one of the agents sent to El Salvador to squash his
       reports.
       Castillo was asked to keep his file on the Contras open, so that
       Walsh's Iran-Contra investigators could be denied access to the
       reports under the Freedom of Information Act.
       So he filed a report, but where are the details?
       When Castillo met Bush, he said to him: [quote]There’s some
       funny things going on with the Contras in El Salvador.[/quote]
       Bush didn’t reply but walked away, seeking another hand to
       shake. Castillo claims that this is evidence that Bush knew
       about the drug trafficking. See Celerino Castillo with George
       H.W. Bush, 14 January 1986.

       In 1994, Castillo went on the road to stop Oliver North’s
       Virginia Senate campaign – Castillo claims he was able to stop
       North...
       After Castillo arrived in Guatemala, Stia described the covert
       US operation with the Nicaraguan rebels, run out of Ilopango air
       base near San Salvador by Marine Lt. Colonel Oliver North:
       [quote]Be careful what you do up there. Don't interfere in their
       operation.[/quote]
       Sofi told Castillo about big cocaine loads from Guatemala to
       Miami. Where are the details?
       One time, missiles destined for the Contras were seized by the
       Hondurans.
       A phone call from Reagan convinced President Roberto Sauzo
       Cordoba of Honduras to release the shipment. Washington rewarded
       Honduras with additional aid.

       The second source in this post is a long article by Robert
       Morrow on some of the whistleblowers on drugs trafficking by the
       CIA in the 1980s, going all the way to George H.W. Bush, his son
       Jeb Bush and Oliver North.
       I don’t think that Daniel Hopsicker is a reliable source for
       information though, but the other “whistleblowers” probably are.
       [B]Al Martin[/B]’s book “[I]The Conspirators: Secrets of an
       Iran-Contra Insider[/I] (2001) details a September 1985 meeting
       where Jeb Bush discussed the murder of Barry Seal in February
       1986 with Oliver North, Richard Secord and Dewey Clarridge.
       Martin writes about a meeting chaired by Jeb Bush, where North
       explained that they would “fight” against the lower revenue of
       cocaine because of the lower prices, by importing more.
       CIA-assisted enterprise narcotics trafficking depressed the
       street price value of cocaine from $30,000 in early 1985 to
       $12,000 by mid-1986.
       When Martin said he would expose what was happening, Jeb Bush
       responded by telling him that it would be “unfortunate”, since
       he might wind up like George Morales or Johnny Molina.
       Jeb continued on Morales (then in prison): “[I]Of course,
       Morales will never leave prison alive[/I]”.
       The day after Morales would be released from jail, he would be
       flown to Washington to tell about the Iran-Contra affair. The
       day before Morales was to be released, he died, after slipping
       on a bar of soap in the prisoner’s shower.
       When Bush threatened Martin at 10:30 a.m., Molina was still
       alive…
       The next day Martin read that Molina had “[I]committed
       suicide[/I]” the same evening at about 9:30 p.m. in Pensacola,
       Florida.
       Lawyer Neil Lewis also threatened Martin, to which Martin
       responded by telling that he was aware that his former
       colleague, Larry Hamil, prior to the November 1998 elections,
       was involved in a political campaign money laundering scheme.
       Hamil laundered monies of Chinese origin to certain Republicans,
       including Jeb Bush.
       Martin has personally known almost 400 people that died under
       suspicious circumstances.
       In 1988, [B]Bo Gritz[/B], wrote a letter to George H.W. Bush
       about a video tape showing Khun Sa offering to stop 900 tons of
       illegal narcotics and expose dirty USG officials. In reply to
       this letter Gritz was threatened to stop his investigation and
       his partner Scott was jailed.
       In a 28 June 1987 letter from Khun Sa to the US Justice
       Department, Richard Armitage, Theodore Shackley (former Deputy
       Director CIA from Covert Operations) and others are named as
       being involved in drug trafficking:

       Gene Wheaton – Iran-Contra
       By: Firestarter Date: January 12, 2019, 12:07 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Here’s information from another whistleblower Gene Wheaton…
       Wheaton was probably the first to make the “Iran-Contra” scandal
       public.
       In 1971, Wheaton and his family were transferred to Iran where
       he was the narcotics and counter-terrorism advisor to the Shah
       of Iran.
       Wheaton retired from the army in 1975, and went back to Iran as
       a “civilian”.
       For 2 years he was executive assistant to a vice president of
       the CIA front Rockwell Corporation, and director of security for
       a program over there called the IBEX program.
       In 1985, Wheaton became vice-president of the cargo airline
       National Air.
       In the early 1980s, Wheaton got close to CIA paramilitary
       mercenary operator Carl Jenkins, who had been the commander of
       the biggest CIA base in Laos while Shackley was there. Neil
       Livingston invited Wheaton to a party, to meet Ollie North. In
       1985, Ollie North asked Wheaton to help devise a plan for
       weapons to the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan and provide airplanes
       for missions to the Contras.
       In October 1985, Congress voted for $27 million in non-lethal
       aid for the Contras (which included weapons). Wheaton, Jenkins
       and Paul Hoven tried to get some of those $27 million to
       Honduras. They were told in no uncertain terms that the only way
       to do this was to go through Dick Secord and his aviation supply
       route. Wheaton refused because he knew that Secord had an
       unsavoury reputation.
       Wheaton received direct information that Secord and his group
       (Oliver North, Ted Shackley, Edwin Wilson and Tom Clines) were
       diverting aircraft and hauling illegal cargo on the side
       (smuggling). Secord had direct knowledge that kickbacks from the
       Saudi AWACS program, were used to buy weapons for the Contras
       (that paid handsomely for these weapons with cocaine…).
       In May 1986, Wheaton personally told CIA director Bill Casey,
       but Casey simply denied that the agency was involved in any of
       this illegal stuff. Then Wheaton took his story to the
       journalists Newt Royce and Mike Icoca, who put it on the front
       page of the Hearst newspaper.
       Wheaton paints the big picture like this: [quote]Ted Shackley
       and Vernon Walters and Frank Carlucci and Ving West and a group
       of these guys used to have park-bench meetings in the late 70s
       in McClean, Virginia so nobody could overhear they
       conversations.
       They basically said, "With our expertise at placing dictators in
       power," I’m almost quoting verbatim one of their comments,
       "why don’t we treat the United States like the world’s biggest
       banana republic and take it over?"
       (…)
       Reagan never really was the president. He was the front man.
       They selected a guy that had charisma, who was popular, and just
       a good old boy, but they got George Bush in there to actually
       run the White House.
       (…)
       They made sure that George Bush was the chairman of each of the
       critical committees involving these covert operations things.
       (…)
       They got Bush in as the chairman of the committee to deregulate
       the Savings and Loans in ’83 so they could deregulate the
       Savings and Loans, so that they would be so loosely structured
       that they could steal 400, 500 billion dollars of what amounted
       to the taxpayers’ money out of these Savings and Loans and then
       bail them out.
       They got hit twice: they stole the money out of the Savings and
       Loans, and then they sold the Savings and Loans right back to
       the same guys, and then the Federal Deposit Insurance
       Corporation - the taxpayers money - paid for bailing out the
       Savings and Loans that they stole the money from ... and they
       ran the whole operation, and Bush was the de facto president
       even before the ‘88 election when he became president.
       (…)
       This crowd really believes that the unwashed masses are
       ignorant, that we are people who are not capable of governing
       ourselves, that we need this elitist group to control the
       country, and the world - these guys have expanded. They look at
       the United States not as a country, not in any kind of patriotic
       mode now, but they look on it as a state within a world that
       they control. And that’s this attitude that they have.
       They’re not unlike any other megalomaniac in the world. They’re
       nutty as fruitcake, but they’ve got distinguished gray hair,
       three-piece dark suits and they carry briefcases, and they’ll
       stand up and make speeches just as articulate as anybody in the
       world, but they don’t socialize and function outside their own
       little clique.
       My experience with them is that they could be certified as
       criminally insane and put away in a rubber room and have the key
       thrown away. That’s how dangerous they are. But they’re
       powerful, and they’re educated. And that makes them twice as
       dangerous. And that’s basically what’s running the world right
       now.[/quote]
       When Harry Truman signed the National Security Act creating the
       CIA, he stated in that act that they couldn’t have any police
       powers, and shouldn’t operate in the US.
       Congressional oversight of the intelligence community was
       increased after the Pike and Church hearings of the 1970s, in
       the wake of the Watergate scandal and CIA director Richard Helms
       convicted of lying to Congress (there were also kickbacks from
       the giant arm manufacturers to top politicians worldwide…).
       The “secret group” of Ted Shackley, Tom Clines and Dick Secord
       were forced into retirement because of the scandal over Edmond
       P. Wilson’s training of Libyan terrorists.
       After 9/11 was staged, the restrictions on US intelligence
       agencies were lifted.
       75 and 80-year-old retired CIA people sat with tears in their
       eyes and told Wheaton: [quote]Gene, what you’re into, you
       understand it more than we did, and it’s absolutely true, but
       it’s just so big you can’t do anything about it.[/quote]

       Terry Reed & John Cummings - Compromised
       By: Firestarter Date: January 13, 2019, 11:02 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Here's another excellent book on the drugs for arms pipeline
       centred in the Arkansas of Governor Bill Clinton. It also has
       much information on money laundering schemes set up by Clinton,
       Jackson Stephens and Dan Lasater.
       This book is sort of a biography of Terry Reed, who was part of
       the drugs for arms pipeline involving the Contras, without even
       knowing the drugs part.
       This book is (almost) impossible to find on the internet. The
       link below has some short sections inserted that are not part of
       this book (I estimate this is less than 1% of the total text
       there).
       On 24 February 1982, in Oklahoma City; Terry Reed first met
       Oliver North (who used the name John Cathey at the time). At
       that time Reed could contact North through the FBI. Reed
       frequently met North.
       Only in 1987, when Iran-Contra hit the press, Reed found out
       that “John Cathey” was really Oliver North.
       On 11 March 1983, North proposed Reed to meet Barry Seal (Adler
       Berriman Seal) so he could help in supplying guns to the
       Contras. Shortly thereafter Dan Lasater introduced Seal to Reed.
       One of the first tasks for Reed in working for Seal was to make
       sure that no FAA regulations were violated for the airport they
       set up near Nella, about 12 miles from Mena, Arkansas
       (population 5000) which was only accessible by four-wheel
       drives.
       The airport was first used to train Contra pilots in
       air-delivery techniques for the Contra Air Force.
       When the airport became fully operational; weapons were
       delivered by “special barge traffic” over the Arkansas River to
       Nella and protected by the US Army Corps of engineers. The arms
       were temporarily stored there and flown to the Contras.
       Cash and drugs were dropped in Arkansas from planes. The cash
       airdrops amounted to more than 9 million dollars a week.
       Terry Reed saw the operation by being involved, but didn’t
       realise that the cash came from cocaine trafficking. He also
       knew that the CIA and White House were involved (of course at
       the time he didn’t know the identity of Oliver North yet).
       Planes were “borrowed”, with and without the owners'
       cooperation, for "sting" operations.
       The New Jersey gun-manufacturing company Iver Johnson’s arms
       Inc. was moved to Jacksonville, Arkansas.
       The untraceable parts (without serial number) for the M16 rifles
       for the Contras were manufactured by the firm Park On Meter Inc.
       (POM) located in the town of Russellville.
       Seth Ward Sr. was a high roller in Arkansas that was involved
       with POM, together with his son Seth Jr. (Skeeter). The
       son-in-law of Seth Ward Sr. was Webster (Webb) Hubbell, partner
       at the Rose law firm where Hillary Clinton was an attorney.
       Hubbell was also the corporate lawyer for POM and probably the
       biological father of Chelsea “Clinton”.
       Hubbell denied that POM manufactured parts for M16’s, but
       admitted to a reporter of Time magazine that they had made a
       nose cone for a rocket launcher.
       Barry Seal was one of the biggest US drugs traffickers in the
       1980s and had been working as an informant for the Drug
       Enforcement Administration (DEA) for years.
       Seal told Reed that he was involved in the arrest of Bill
       Clinton’s campaign contributor Dan Lasater and half brother
       Roger Clinton. This was done because Clinton had taken 10% of
       the gross instead of the agreed upon 10% of the profits.
       Seal wanted desperately to get out of the game. Seal decided to
       go public in order to protect himself against an impending
       Louisiana indictment.
       Barry Seal told Reed that George H.W. Bush's kids are in the
       drug business, when Reed asked for confirmation, Barry answered:
       [quote]Yup, that's what I'm tellin' ya. A guy in Florida who
       flipped for the DEA has got the goods on the Bush boys. Now I
       heard this earlier from a reliable source in Colombia, but I
       just sat on it then, waitin' to use it as a trump card, if I
       ever needed it. I even got surveillance videos catchin' the Bush

       Seal was of course murdered on 17 February 1986 after the court
       ordered him to work for the Salvation Army, while prohibiting
       him to carry a gun or hiring armed protection...

       Reed describes a meeting on 19 April 1986 at Juanita's
       Restaurant in Little Rock.
       The "guest list" included Oliver North, Felix Rodriguez (alias
       Max Gomez), resident CIA agent Akihide Sawahata, Agency
       subcontractor Terry Reed, and Robert Johnson (lawyer for
       Southern Air Transport) was in charge of the meeting. Governor
       Bill Clinton and his aide Bob Nash dropped in uninvited.
       This meeting confirmed that Clinton knew all about the drugs for
       arms pipeline centred in Arkansas.
       After the meeting, Clinton invited Reed for a short talk, where
       Clinton smoked a joint (and inhaled deep!).
       At the time they wanted Terry to set up a company for gun parts
       that would operate as a front in Mexico. Clinton advised Reed to
       set up this company for Oliver North.
       A Classified FBI AIRTEL, dated 18 August 1987, warns the FBI,
       DEA and CIA of pending media investigation into the CIA
       activities at Mena, and identified Barry Seal as a CIA
       operative.
       [quote]BOTH THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE TELEVISION NEWS SHOW WEST
       57TH STREET ARE PRESENTLY PREPARING STORIES REGARDING ALLEGED
       CIA ACTIVITIES AT AN AIR FIELD IN MENA, ARKANSAS.
       THE ORIGINAL INFORMATION DATES BACK TO A PILOT, BARRY SEAL, NOW
       DECEASED, WHO IS PURPORTED TO HAVE FLOWN GUNS TO SOUTH AMERICA
       FROM MENA AND DRUGS BACK INTO THE UNITED STATES. THE INFORMATION
       INDICATES THAT SEAL WAS AN INFORMANT FOR THE DEA AT THE TIME BUT
       ALSO WORKING AS AN OPERATIVE OF THE CIA. DURING THE PAST FEW
       YEARS, THE ACTIVITY AT THE AIRSTRIP HAS AROUSED THE INTEREST OF
       LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO THEN ATTEMPTED TO CONDUCT SOME
       INVESTIGATIONS BUT WERE BLOCKED BY THE U.S. ATTORNEY. IN 1986,
       SEAL WAS GUNNED DOWN IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA. THIS WAS
       PURPORTED TO BE A HIT BY COLOMBIAN DRUG DEALERS.[/quote]

       Lasater & Co. (of Dan Lasater), was handling more than $300
       million annually in preferred state bond activity. Then Arkansas
       Development and Finance Authority (ADFA) was created, directly
       controlled by Governor Clinton's office. ADFA was designed to
       compete for the profits generated by the bond issues necessary
       to “industrialize Arkansas”.
       The state was using the Rose Law Firm as its bond counsel for
       much of this activity.
       See the chart that was drawn by Terry Reed in January 1991. It
       shows the connections between Clinton, the Rose Law firm,
       Lasater, POM, Seth Ward, Webb Hubbell and Barry Seal.

       An example of the dealings of the ADFA, is the deposit of $50
       million on an offshore bank account with the Fuji Bank in the
       Cayman Islands on 29 December 1988. A strange transaction for an
       organisation founded to lend money for development in Arkansas.
       Fuji subsequently took over the loan on behalf of POM, and now
       presumably made payments directly to Fuji. This was curious
       since POM gave up a long-term, fixed rate, low interest loan
       issued by ADFA, which had a guarantor, the bank in Memphis, to
       back it up.
       Clinton started borrowing money from First American in order to
       make up for their cash shortage, which could have made big
       problems for everybody involved.
       Years later the BCCI scandal reached the headlines. Which showed
       money laundering and fraud – when at least 8 billions dollars,
       perhaps more than 12 billion, were missing.
       Jackson T. Stephens, the chairman of Stephens & Co. in Little
       Rock, helped BCCI get started in the USA.
       Investigators in New York would accuse First American Bank and
       Trust in Washington, for having hidden ownership ties to BCCI.
       This “secret tie” was denied by its chairmen, former Defense
       Secretary Clark Clifford and Robert Altman, who were both
       indicted for this connection.
       Terry expected that the Arkansas drugs pipeline and money
       laundering would be blown wide open, but it never did.
       Here’s another chart made by the Harkin campaign committee
       during the 1992 Presidential Primaries. It shows similarities to
       the one Reed drew in 1991.
       It includes the Clintons, ADFA, Rose law firm, Buddy Young,
       Terry Reed, Felix Rodriguez, the McDougals, Madison Guarantee,
       Stephens Inc, First American and BCCI.

       When Terry Reed was running the gun tool company in Mexico he
       was contacted by the Hungarian businessman and intelligence
       operative - George Fenue in July 1987.
       Fenue had discovered a crate filled with cocaine and demanded
       Reed to explain using his company for shipping narcotics. Fenue
       had already discovered 2 earlier shipments in the logs with
       probably a similar content.
       Reed secretly took 2 bags out before contacting his CIA handler
       in Mexico - Mitch Marr. Marr quickly took the bait by demanding
       what had happened to the 2 missing bags. Now Reed had certainty
       that the CIA had used him to traffic drugs.
       Now suddenly Reed had become a liability, and he found himself
       in legal problems.
       On 5 May 1988 a FBI AIRTEL message classified Reed as an
       "instant matter now being carried as armed and dangerous due to
       information developed by the Little Rock division".
       Raymond (Buddy) Young was involved in framing Terry Reed; Reed
       was wrongfully accused of drugs trafficking (he was eventually
       acquitted).
       Here’s a picture of Hillary Clinton and Buddy Young.

       In a strange way this book is really about Barry Seal. Terry
       Reed doesn’t come close to describing what Seal knew (I believe
       that Reed is still alive).
       Seal was portrayed in the 1991 movie "Double Crossed", and in
       September 2018 another glossy movie hit the theaters, featuring
       the little actor Tom Cruise playing the 300 pound heavy Barry
       Seal.
       Here’s a 10:16 interview with Terry Reed
