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.

In the following picture are Adolfo Calero (centre) and drug
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

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.

documents from the NSA:

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

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
boys red-handed. I consider this stuff my insurance policy. It
makes me and my mole on the inside that's feedin' the stuff to
me invincible.[/quote]
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...
See Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, Vice President George H.W.
Bush, and Alabama Governor George Wallace at Bush's residence in
Maine, 1983.

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]
See the following facsimile of the August 1987 "Secret" report.

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
