CIA Plot Against Correa Funded by Drug Money 1271


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.

    “Israel has the right to defend itself”
    Barack Obama….breaking BBC R4 News.

    “Israel has been given full backing to take whatever measures are necessary”

    Pwned by AIPAC. Spineless, hypocritical fuck.

    per Dre’s link;

    It’s so much safer to file stories from Israel……albeit myopic. Where are the journos in Gaza?

    Harry? Whatever happened to old school journalists who want to be in the shit?

    I’m having problems with this site now. I hit Refresh before I posted, but it was only after my comment appeared that 451 previous comments did too!
    I get a shock when that happens. 😉

    I do not like inconsistency in people Komodo or the trimming of sails to the wind. Libya was not mainly about oil. It was about the removal of a regime that once had been favoured by the West.

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

    ” It was about the removal of a regime that once had been favoured by the West.”

    Do you mean a convenient alliance that went sour? Is that a reason to deny the importance of any alliance?

  • Komodo

    > Mary;
    Cole’s views are under no compulsion to coincide in all respects with anyone else’s. For me that is an indicator of objectivity, indeed. He assesses each situation on its merits, coloured by some obligation to his own country’s interests. He was against the invasion of Afghanistan, for instance, arguing that air cover for the Northern Alliance would achieve the objective of removing the Taleban and the corrupt Kabul government. He was not heeded, the US invaded, and the dire and unsuccessful outcome, in comparison with what happened in Libya (following a plan similar to his), need not be laboured unduly. Libya? But I think history will judge that it was about oil. And Gaddafi’s unreliable allegiance had been expensively bought with this in mind.

    If Cole were trimming his sails to the prevailing American wind, he would most certainly NOT be publishing material denigratory of Israel.

    Dreo – the BBC has a correspondent on the ground in Gaza now. He has already reported on R4 News. I expect others will follow if they can slip in from Egypt before the invasion begins.

  • Dreoilin

    “the BBC has a correspondent on the ground in Gaza now”

    Thanks Komodo. I hope that’s somewhat good news.

    I’m going off to watch a DVD – sheer escapism. I need it these days.

  • technicolour

    Hmm, if Cole, who sounds strangely naive about war, had known anything about Afghanistan or US policy there he would have known that the last thing the US would do would be to support a popular and civilised leader, since it had been directly funding HesbiIslami for decades. Instead Massoud conveniently got bumped off. And the US got their own corrupt stooge in.

    Ends don’t justify means, I think.

  • technicolour

    ps Komodo, I think the challenge in this overwhelming negative is to react positively somehow – and you are, here. Jewish people need support and facts more than ever, I get the feeling.

  • Komodo

    Strangely, Cole was accused by a colleague of naivety, too: “This is Afghanistan, not Egypt,” he was told. Too bloody right. The NA had an army. It was sidelined. Afghanistan failed. Cole wasn’t so naive in his strategic assessment, I think. Pity he hadn’t a better grasp of his own country’s politics.

    With the exception of the groups Herbie mentioned earlier (and young radicals very rapidly age into middle-aged conservatives, while Naturei Karta is associated with the widely despised haredim in Israel), I do not get the impression that too many Jews would take kindly to being informed about an issue – one side of which was imparted to them at their mother’s knee = by the goyim. I’ll try it, though. And I’ll let you know how I get on.

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

    per your point, ‘modo. I looked at comments at JP, and the blood is hot. If this is typical of the normal mix of opinion, (I need to look at more fishwrap comments) I would say the Zionists have
    a quorum. Mark was the discordant one.

    MarkofLewiston • 25 minutes ago
    Looks more and more like a typical Israeli pre-election political operation. Now everybody knows how big and hairy Netanyahu’s are and that his testosterone level is up.

    Israel has also avoided lots of Israeli casualties and given a full test to Iron Dome. without inflicting thousands of Palestinian civilian casualties.

    Get a life, Mark. You don’t know what you are talking about, but you go on and on. As long as you can say something against Israel, you open your mouth. FYI, almost all of the opposition parties support the Israeli reaction. Anybody with a brain (and I don’t necessarily include you) knows that you cannot accept the launching of missiles into your territory and sit and do nothing. When Hamas comes to the inevitable conclusion that they have gotten their butts beat and that there is nothing to gain by continuing, the fighting will stop. It has nothing to do with elections except in the minds of fools and leftists (often the same thing).

    “However, I see no other way to influence the Israeli government to adopt a more civilised course.”

    Are you really saying you don’t want to “ostracise” all jewish people but the uncivilised zionists give you no choice?

    You’re joking right? I must be missing the joke.

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

    Also a link to another story;

    At first one is struck by the sheer imbalance, roughly 100% of the evening’s news focused on the suffering of Israelis. Expectedly, channel 2 has correspondents on the scene in Kiryat Malakhi – the site of the building were a rocket blew through a civilian housing unit and killed three innocent civilians. We listen to a recording of the “911” phone call between the emergency responders and the survivors of the attack, along with footage of the dead Israelis being carried out on stretchers. Then we get a few interviews with family members of the victims and others affected by the rocket. This is followed by in-depth biographical sketches of the three innocent Israeli civilians killed in the attack.

    Having covered the Israeli casualties, I assumed the broadcast would move to the 14 Palestinians that had been killed (as of Thursday night), or at least mention that number (indeed, the number 14 was mentioned only once in passing during the hour long broadcast). But no. After the in-depth coverage of the situation on the ground from Kiryat Malakhi, we are continually bombarded with the facts and figures: more than 200 rockets; 3 killed in Kiryat Malakhi; 2 babies were wounded there as well; another 3 soldiers experienced mild to light wounds.

    A cursory look thru innertubes showed a dearth of oppo groups, the best I could comeup with was Shaul Moffaz, but I think that’s inner politics.

    @ Komodo,

    Juan Cole knows exactly what his game is. ” Humanitarian intervention” is simply a face card for US foreign policy appearing to be doing good in the world. He is quite astute in his deliveries – but I see the guy as a force for “evil” – not good. This was my open letter to him at the commencement of the Libyan debacle:-

    “Re: Libya – reply to Professor Juan Cole
    by Courtenay Barnett – http://www.globaljusticeonline.com
    Dear Juan,

    As a professor and an influential voice on the internet, I am appealing to you to stop supporting, be it implicitly or explicitly, the criminal bombardment of the Libyan people by the US/NATO attacks.

    The facts, and my opinion, based on same, are these:-

    The state of Libya and its political position vis-a- vis rebellion

    1. Libya is a tribal society and there is a measure of dissent in the East, and more particularly around the hub of Benghazi.

    2. This is not the same kind of ‘Arab spring’ as one has witnessed in Tunisia or in Egypt. The US lent its support to the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt up to the very end then a the last moment professed to welcome the people’s change. In Libya it has been about 2 months of bombardment, and internally it must by now be clear that Gadaffi has significant support amongst his people, for clearly with an extension of another 3 months of planned bombings, NATO must admit that Gadaffi does have strong interna support amongst his people that compels this long extension. One can contrast the use of force by CIA supported “rebels” versus the ground swell of popular support that in a short time, without arms, toppled the leadership in Tunisia and Egypt.

    The legal aspects

    3. Resolution 1973 is a lawfully passed UN Resolution for the imposition of a no-fly zone. It does not however extend to, nor lawfully sanction, the assassination attempts upon Gadaffi ( cf. point 2 above – for that the failure so far to dislodge Ghadaffi and effect regime change – explains this illegality). The efforts at regime change are under international law – illegal.

    4. President Obama has circumvented US domestic law, by reference to the statutory stipulations of the War Powers Act.

    5. Should the people of Harlem take up arms in rebellion against the US government, and seek to separate itself from the continental US ( cf. Waco) – what would one have the established government do – accede or resist?

    The economic dimension

    6. It is an odd peace-keeping and humanitarian mission that sees a sovereign country’s assets frozen in the billions, while a faction of the country’s population takes up arms against the leader and commanders oil and sells on the international market, a portion of the country’s assists – its oil. How does one establish a central bank, where a minority faction of the Libyan population, assisted by external interests, and yet pretend that somehow there is majority widespread dissent?

    The political dimension

    7. The African Union is the legitimate voice within Africa and internationally, to broker a peace-deal between the warring factions. The sooner that this is accomplished the better for the saving of civilian lives across Libya:-

    http://rt.com/news/nato-admits-civilian-deaths/

    The moral dimension

    8. Using the fig-leaf of Resolution 1973 to cover the war of aggression being waged cannot be supported. There is a difference between having war planes police designated territorial areas to enforce a no-fly zone. That policing activity as sanctioned by the United Nations is a far cry removed from showering down “shock and awe” upon the people of Libya in an effort to create sufficient chaos in Libya to effect regime change.

    9. Again, stalling for time to effect more bombardment, and NATO turning its back on the entreaties of the AU to broker a peace-deal is nothing short of amoral.

    10. Having witnessed the lies that led to the war in Iraq; the pretext of a humanitarian mission to assist the Iraqi people; the utter destruction of Iraq with sanctions and bombs and the killing or deaths of some one million Iraqis arising from the occupation – what can you now convince sentient beings about, with this latest repeat of the slaughter in Libya – orchestrated by the same powers?

    I commend my ten ( 10 ) points to you for a revising and re-think about where truths, rights and justice really reside in this bloody conflict in Libya. Professor – to call NATO’S opportunist war of aggression anything less than by its true name – illegal – is to embrace a narrative from the West that wholly lacks credibility.

    Respectfully,
    Courtenay Barnett (Attorney-at-Law)
