Hillary Clinton is repeating the methodology of the Iran/Contra affair, using “black” funds to finance the operation to ensure President Correa is not re-elected.
I had two excellent sources for the news that the US/UK strategy against Julian Assange was to ensure the defeat of President Correa in Presidential elections next spring, and then have him expelled from the Ecuadorean Embassy. One source was within the UK civil service and one in Washington. Both had direct, personal access to the information I described. Both told me in the knowledge I would publish it.
Of course Assange is not the only reason Clinton wants rid of Correa; but it adds spice and urgency.
We now have completely independent evidence from Chile that this CIA operation exists, from journalists who were investigating a smuggling operation involving 300 kg per month of cocaine, organised by the Chilean army and security services.
The links to US intelligence emerged after an anonymous source from the Agencia Nacional de Inteligencia (ANI) told Panoramas News that the smuggling of 300 kilos of cocaine was in fact a highly sensitive CIA/DEA operation that would help to raise money to topple the government of Ecuador. The operation is similar to the one carried out by the Agency in Central America during the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980’s, the source said.
A few days ago I published information I had received that Patricio Mery Bell, the director of the news programme which broke the story, had been lured to a meeting with a young lady “informant” who had worked with CIA-backed anti-Cuban groups in Miami. She had then accused him of sexual assault (does any of that scenario sound familiar?) He was arrested and his materials had been confiscated. However I took the article down after jst a few minutes because I had received the information in emails from sources I did not know previously, and was unsure it could stand up. It does now appear that this is indeed true.
My Washigton informant had told me, as I published, that the funds for the anti-Correa operation were not from the CIA budget but from secret funds controlled by the Pentagon. This could not be done by CIA funds because, perhaps surprisingly, for the CIA to operate in this way is a crime in the United States.
Whether my informant knew or suspected that the “secret Pentagon funds” were drug money I do not know. They did not mention narcotics.
Pillar of Cloud is the name of the operation. It is what the Zionazis are calling it in Hebrew to their own supporters and soldiers.
Pillar of Defence (Pilier de défense) is what they have ordered the English-speaking and French-speaking media to call it – just as they have ordered their Quislings to talk about the Zionazi regime’s ‘right to defend itself’, as usual. Presumably they have issued similar orders for what it should be called in German, Spanish, etc.
They appear to have missed Russian, in which language they are calling it a ‘Pillar of Cloud’ (Облачный столп). Oops – maybe they will ‘correct’ this?
The pillar that goes with the Pillar of Cloud is the Pillar of Fire. Are they soon going to show us a Pillar of Fire?
This is the UMPTEENTH time that a truce, deal, step towards a ‘settlement’, etc., was about to be signed, and then the Zionazis have moved in for a bout of assassinations or a massacre.
65 years of history shows that there cannot be peace until Zionism is brought to an end and Palestine is one country, from the river to the sea.
Expressing abhorrence at the slaughter in Gaza is not enough. We need a stepping up of Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS):
1) an increasing number of countries breaking off all relations with the Zionazi regime, moving towards a position where they break off all relations with any country that maintains such relations
Perhaps the Non-Aligned Movement and the ALBA countries in Latin America could show the way forward in this respect?
That means no Israeli-owned companies allowed to operate, Israeli embassies and other missions closed down, Israeli nationals to be expelled unless they renounce Israeli citizenship, undertake not to support the Zionazi regime, and claim asylum; and after they have been expelled, no flights to Israel. De jure derecognition of the State of Israel.
Bye-bye to the Israeli facilities at Schiphol and Heathrow.
2) the exposure and removal from office and positions of influence of all who have acted as agents of the Zionazis in other countries
These are the demands that should be made of the governments of the world.
Thanks for the mashed turkey advice, ben and Komodo, but that exactly the point, no need for carving it up, however much you’d like to wield the knife….;)
Komodo, your links not good enough, think about your own safety chy-tac has no muzzle flash, something not to die for, and distance means time to get on your bike in time for tea.
“… that Jabari was not a wild-eyed evil terrorist but had been instrumental in keeping Gaza partially under control for some time, to the Israelis’ benefit.” — Komodo
Yes, apparently that’s right, Komodo. I posted it further up the page (15 Nov, 2012 – 9:48 am) with an excerpt from Haaretz.
@CheebaCow
Thank you! Funny how people prefer the Dreoilin handle (even myself.) Your YouTube videos were a tonic (over breakfast, no less) but I confess I had to Google “Dr. Dre”. 🙂
I’ve already banged off three emails to Sky today. Balance my foot. Journalism my foot. Glad to say there is much outrage about Gaza on Twitter – at least among those I follow. That’s my own selection, obviously.
I had read that an IDF Twitter account was briefly suspended for ‘making threats’. But I’ve since come across this one, which is obviously fake
https://twitter.com/IDFSpokeperson
and, depending on your mood, quite funny. I think it was probably that one that was suspended.
‘It’ tweeted this morning:
#Israel is the victim. #Palestinians stole our country before we got there. #Gaza
(Won’t be here much today, I’m giving myself a headache with online stuff.)
PS – I fully support BDS.
Macky, I blogged on red poppies having no purpose anymore but to perpetuate war. You don’t need to burn them. They self-destruct.
CheebaCow, thanks for the music link. I did write back to you eventually.
Mary, I “spoiled” my ballot paper too; I wrote:
I left the polling station about ten minutes before the polls closed. I asked about turn-out; less than seventy people had voted, versus about five hundred typical for my ward.
Macky,
I thought your “Poopy Burning for Peace” was hysterical – don’t worry, it’s decipherable. 😉
VisionOnTv is running the latest videos from and about Gaza here:
http://globalviews.visionon.tv/
Yes, that’s right, Dreo. My point was that this was now being recognised by the BBC, not that it was a new idea of mine. OK?
Clark, only 90 had voted at my polling station and I was the only one from my road. I voted for an Independent candidate because I do not believe the Police should have political affiliations likely to sway policing decisions according to their politics. We’re not America – well not yet – or Sweden – where the judges are chosen from political parties.
@Komodo
Yup
Having been shaken to the roots of my Israeli-loving identity by Melanie (above) I must now congratulate her on creating the obvious truth from Harredi’s blog and a picture which I can only find attributed to the Daily Mail, although she claims it’s Indymedias. Truly horrific: lad in keffiye at night, with line of polis at a safe distance, waving a baton (or possibly a short light sabre) at someone out of, er, shot. Then, googling Gaza+Rally (etc), I find only daylight shots of a peaceful demonstration in London. There is no mention in the MSM of violence that I can find, unless you count the THOUSANDS OF ROCKETS POURING DOWN on poor little defenceless Israel.
So, Mel IS living on a different planet.
Mary, any word of hordes of Islamists beating the crap out of passing Jews from where you are?
There has been no live stream from Harry Fear for at least ten hours, just a recording. Does anyone have any news?
Clark,
Harry Fear hasn’t tweeted for ten hours either. You’ll find him here
https://twitter.com/harryfear
Oh, and I couldn’t find the story she was attributing to Harredi on his blog, either. Maybe it was some other demonstration, eh?
Maybe Birmingham?

A little bit partial, I admit, but I’m sure Mel would understand.
Invasion under way, plausibly

But not much today from Gaza.
My guess is they’ve shut down the servers. And probably the power station. Which are part of “Hamas infrastructure” and were “surgically targeted”, no doubt.
It could be that Harry has taken the advice to relocate. Lets hope that he has taken out his battery in his phone whilst doing so, would not be the first time Israel killed someone by getting a fix on his phone.
Is it time to draw up a list of Israeli commercial targets?
The surgically targeted –

Is it time to draw up a list of Israeli commercial targets?
You bet, Nevermind.But surely that would impact the viability of a poor and defenceless little state subjected to THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS OF HUGE GIANT ROCKETS DAILY? You antisemite, you.I hang my head in shame.

Got to hand it to Hamas. They sure are costing the US taxpayer a wad of money…
SEC. 237, AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR IRON DOME SHORT-RANGE ROCKET DEFENSE PROGRAM, said that of the amounts authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2013 by section 201 for research, development, test, and evaluation, defense-wide, and available for the Missile Defense Agency, $210,000,000 may be provided to the Government of Israel for the Iron Dome short-range rocket defense program as specified in the funding table in section 4201.
(SASC; National Defense Authorization Act for 2013, S.3254.)(pending)
Imagine how much cheaper it would have been for the US to lean on Israel and insist it obeyed international law.
Saw a comment on FB that Harry was ok and had recently spoken to friends. Says he is fine but very tired but hopes to be able to get back online.
He moved from his previous location last night to a hotel which he was apparently told was one of only three buildings in Gaza City on an Israeli NON-target list.
Interestingly his Internet was cut at the first location last night just as he was passing on a message from Palestinian authorities for people not to answer phone calls from a number they did not recognise as it was Israeli position targetting.
He later had a stable internet connection at the new “safe” location” and again was cut off when he broadcast again the warning about Israeli phone calls. Perhaps coincidence, perhaps not.

Thanks, Anon.
Yes, I noticed that and wondered if it was deliberate Israeli action. But I’m not sure that the advice is really helpful, because cellphones periodically communicate with the base stations whether a call is in progress or not. I suppose Israel could be locating cellphone signals directly rather than getting location data from the companies. Even so, I’d expect that just making the ‘phone ring would be enough to locate the ‘phone’s position.
More on BBC news at One of the poor Israeli’s suffering from the rocket, whilst an empty Gaza administration suited the BBC to show a few pictures. Thousands of Israeli reservists, many of them doubting their Governments call up, are moving to wards the Gazan border in anticipation of a ground offensive.
iron dome? what Iron dome, was this a mis-investment?
Israel is eating itself, watch.
