CIA Plot Against Correa Funded by Drug Money 1271

 in Uncategorized by

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.

    This was posted on ML. It’s seems quite interesting, though as someone pointed out on ML there are a few minor errors.

    “Europe, with England and Germany at the helm, simply cannot accept the ‘Keynesian’ triumph of South America. In essence the western guideline remains: ‘Let them stay home and remain grateful that we let them survive like the Africans. Otherwise one by one they will all end like Gadaffi.’

    This is the warning in a nutshell. So, quietly, South America has in the last 40 days sent three powerful messages; the last and most important was on August 3, and it was televised live from the New York office of the International Monetary Fund. Now for some facts.”

    “Assange has become public enemy number one of the great powers since he has gained the classified records of these long conversations about how to cripple the economies of South America, how to take away their energy resources and prevent their recovery; how to prevent their governments from pushing through Keynesian economic plans instead of applying the dictates of the IMF, whose sole purpose is to pursue a neo-colonialist policy principally for the benefit of Spain, Italy and Germany, with British capital.”

    Iron Dome isn’t anything like as effective as advertised. And the cost of one round is probably more than that of the dozen or two Grads you might fire to swamp the system. I’m guessing, of course. Ha’aretz – may its paywall burn in hell – carried a piece yesterday which looked as if it had more detail, and the numbers of intercepted incoming shots seem rather variable in the Israeli media and press releases. They are nowhere near 90% of reported incoming, in most cases.

  • Anon

    The thing about location data is that it doesn’t tell you if the target is actually close to the phone. Target really has to answer it for that.

    Apparently the Israeli calls came from specific numbers – previously when the Israelis called people it apparently came up as “number withheld” according to another poster elsewhere.

  • Herbie

    On the Israeli’s latest terrorist operation in Gaza

    Jonathan Sachs said it’s about Iran, before he was reminded he was live on air and then uncomfortably segued into the usual platitudes.

    Others think it’s about destroying the Hamas peace plan.

    Many think it’s about assisting Netanyahoo in his re-election shortly.

    Whatever it’s about, it certainly ain’t about defending the Israeli military monster from pea-shooting Palestinians.

    If the BBC can condone provide rhetorical assistance in the slaughter of children in Gaza, on numerous occasions, there’s absolutely no reason they wouldn’t cover up paedophiles within their own organisation. Disgusting filthy bastards!

  • Komodo

    Re phone targeting, Fear reports (above) that an explosion greeted him as he was stepping out of his apartment, using his phone light to see where he was going. After a long interval of Israeli inactivity in his area.

  • nevermind

    Anon, when you use your phone, it modulates your speech over on to the base signal and that is detectable, you can even discriminate between speech pattern, ie. English and Arabic.
    I know of the case of the know phone’s, technology has gathered pace since then, afaik. Harry is in danger, as much as everyone there and they can detect him if he is not careful, why else were the hasbara’s goading him during the first night to come on to the roof?

    I wasn’t going to name the toadying little sellout, but, fuck it, it’s Billy Bragg.
    Here’s another extract from the beginning of the email discussion :

    I sent this to his website:

    “I was listening to radio 6 this afternoon when a Billy Bragg record came on. I immediately changed the station. I do this whenever he comes on the radio. Thankfully I seldom see him on TV, but I will change channel if I do.
    I used to admire him – his politics rather than his music, obviously – but then I heard him appearing on Radio 4’s “Any Questions” a few years ago. It was around the time of the infamous Operation Cast Lead when Israel killed over 1500 Palestinians including several hundred children. A question on that subject came up and the mealy-mouthed little sell-out’s only concern was “Israel’s right to defend itself”. His support for those murderers encourages their policy of genocidal oppression.
    Well, I’m sure his sycophantic hypocrisy has ensured him many more media appearances, but hopefully I am not the only fan he lost that day. If there’s any Karma in the world, he will someday find himself the victim of an overwhelming injustice, and I will laugh.
    Disgusted,
    xxxxx xxxxxxxx [me]”

    He replied:

    “Thought you might enjoy this. Try not to switch it off before the end
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WME495PWWJE&feature=youtube_gdata_player“

    I replied:

    “Billy,
    Thank you for replying. However ….
    You criticize America, its media, its values, and one of its theatres. Please tell me where in the lyrics you criticize Israel.
    The nearest I can find is one line which merely states

    and which is immediately followed by two lines

    Leaving aside how a suicide bomber exploits, i.e. derives benefit from, the Gazan plight, I see an implied justification for Israel’s actions.
    Just as on “Any Questions”.
    Seriously, a song about Rachel Corrie that doesn’t criticize Israel?”

    He replied:

    “I thought a song that was against the killing by Israeli forces of someone committed to protecting Palestinians might satisfy your need for criticism of Israel, but I seem to have under-estimated your vehemence. “

    …and so it went on. I tried several times to get him to acknowledge that his support for Israel was misplaced, but with EVERY REPLY he just focussed on my shortcomings and ignored my points.
    In the end, I gave up ….

    I said

    “Billy,
    Thank you for your time and for entering into this dialogue. However, it’s going nowhere so it’s time to end it.
    You just stonewall and say nothing, not even in reply to a direct question. I’ll have to draw my own conclusions.
    And Palestine will have to look elsewhere for support more substantial than right-on fluff.
    Goodbye,”

    And he replied, predictably :

    “I think the conclusion that you should take is that I’m not about to be told what to say by some narrow-minded busybody who turns off the radio when he hears something that he doesn’t like.”

    BTW, I’n not editing his commments (or mine, other than removing my name), he really was that crass.

  • A Node

    Correction to above. My habit of using ‘greater/less than’ brackets to enclose quotes in emails lead to 2 some missing lines above

    Should have read:

    The nearest I can find is one line which merely states
    “Whose homes are destroyed by tank shells and bulldozers”
    and which is immediately followed by two lines
    “And whose plight is exploited by suicide bombers
    Who kill in the name of the people of Gaza”

    Leaving aside how a suicide bomber exploits, i.e. derives benefit from, the Gazan plight, I see an implied justification for Israel’s actions.

  • John Goss

    Herbie, the Rixstep article is superb. It is so believable that that is what has happened not just to Ecuador but other developing countries, in this corrupt world. Correa (Assange too) is enemy number one of imperialist countries that force less-developed-countries into further poverty though burdening them with debt. I think Correa is wise to have cancelled his country’s debt (because it was incurred by former Ecuadorean leaders with corrupt ties to the creditors). Wikileaks is the way forward. The only pity is that the fine body of individuals comprising the organisation have to remain anonymous, but of course, that is common sense in today’s climate.

  • Herbie

    Yes, John. It certainly does explain the hidden elements quite well, and as we know, at base everything in the political and military realm is about preserving the economic interests of the 1%. The egalitarian states emerging in South America are a big threat to that, and these countries have plenty of recent experience of the poverty and wasted lives that the rich impose to keep themselves rich; something I’m afraid Europeans, North Americans and others have forgotten

    Anyway, here’s Norman Finklestein’s take on Gaza:

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article33046.htm

    As ever, he provides clarity, chronology and facts, unlike the useless wasters at the BBC and other mainstream media outlets.

    Ironic innit that we have to go to Russia Today to get the balanced coverage the BBC is so woefully unable to provide.

  • clark

    Herbie 16 Nov, 1:39 pm: Yes, all of those. An appropriate term seems to be “convergence of interests”.

    Anon, 16 Nov, 1:29 pm

    “…location data […] doesn’t tell you if the target is actually close to the phone. Target really has to answer it for that.”

    True, but since when has Israel tried to reduce collateral murder in Gaza?

  • clark

    Answering my own question to Herbie; Israel doesn’t fire unless the target answers the ‘phone, because Israeli forces wish to preserve the ‘phone itself, because it provides a fix on the target.

  • Komodo

    The phone automatically calls in to the server every so often if it’s switched on (in some cases, if it isn’t) The location of the phone can be synced to its GPS coordinates if it’s not on air long enough to act as a homing beacon by itself. The shot may be a little wide as a result, but hey, it’s surgical enough for a country job.

  • Komodo

    Neither a Twitter nor a Facebooker, me. But signed the petition. Distinct lack of imagination in the Twitter responders to Hague, though. Visibly C&P, many identical. Doubt if Hague reads it anyway. It’s probably an intern doing the posts.

  • Herbie

    Komodo

    As soon as the good rabbi had mentioned Iran, the BBC female creature immediately recognized that he’d said something that he shouldn’t have said.

    It’s that obvious, if you listen.

    Why would she do that unless she’s aware there’s a defined script for such events as are now unfolding in Gaza, and the truth of one’s views have nothing to do with it.

    In short, the BBC is a lying organization and its presenters know it. We’re well past the stage where Chomsky’s Propaganda Model provided a fig leaf for BBC presenters. They’re knowing and dedicated collaborators in some of the most heinous crimes against humanity.

  • Ben Franklin (head honcho CIA Office for Craig Murray Operations)

    Signed the petition, then found a plethora of environmental, worldwide politicals. You can even create your own petition.

    Now about that Boycott. Any ideas what products would best be targeted? You look. I’ll look.

  • nevermind

    Also signed the petition this morning, but also left a message questioning that they left out the term ‘UN’ within the text of the petition.
    What recognition if its not in the UN?
