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.

N, ignore away. Will point out to everyone else that there are no views ascribed to that poster, simply questions.
Chris Jones: “don’t know about the Burmese situation – can you enlighten?” – no, genuine question, although I should think the presence of British American Tobacco would have certainly helped in propping the regime up. Otherwise, no-one here has called anyone a Nazi or an anti-semite?
The manufacturers of the Iron Dome and many other Israeli nasties spending US tax dollars of course.

Although there are, of course, neo-Nazis and anti-semites: they exist.
Phil: I think, for some reason, that people are reacting badly to the idea that people who happen to be Jewish are not to blame for the actions of the Israeli government. Karel’s post – or N’s are good examples.

Everyone who is Catholic (or born into a Catholic family), or Irish, or even an Irish nationalist, is not held accountable for the IRA. I’d be pretty annoyed if they were.

“You either know diddly-squat about Jewish racism, or you’ve chosen to deny its existence.”
I have not argued that there is no racism from jews. I challenged the view that all jews are to be held responsible for israeli military actions.
In the context of that argument, that you claim to have repeatedly been called nasty names by jews, without challenging the racism, is telling.
I still doubt you have heard those words much. Certainly not outside of a political setting. Go on, admit it, you got them off the internet.
“I note you’re getting nasty, now we’re getting to the nitty-gritty.”
You whine about my rudeness, about technicolour’s rudeness, about the rudeness of all jews. Go cry to your mother.
“You’re on ignore now, too.”
Don’t make me laugh. You’ve read this. You might even not be able to not respond.
Unfortunately I have to go out now. This is rushed and I’ll miss out on the rest of the fun.
Technicolor,
You twist and turn like a rock star. Perhaps you should read more carefully what others write or be less inventive. I care little whether “people who happen to be Jewish are not to blame for the actions of the Israeli government”. You made it up to smear me like that devilish “linguist” habbaabb who tries to smear everyone whom he thinks is a goy. Your babbling about neo-nazis or antisemites makes probably only sense to you. Who gives a shit about them as these are in most cases agent provocateurs. Get baptised or become a muslim, it will sooth your nerves.
“Everyone who is Catholic (or born into a Catholic family), or Irish, or even an Irish nationalist, is not held accountable for the IRA. I’d be pretty annoyed if they were.”
That’s not the comparison though, is it. The comparison would be if the Irish govt were holding another people hostage in a defined territory (prods maybe), starving them physically, mentally, socially, culturally and murdering a few thousand of them every so often, in between times bumping a few off just to keep them on their toes, all the while hoping they’d get fed up, fuck off and leave the land to the Irish.
Were that happening you can be pretty damn sure I’d have it on record publicly that I condemned it as the crime against humanity it is, and loudly fucking loudly loudly.
I think that that was Komodo’s point.
Herbie, yes, ok. I should have stuck to Catholic and left out the “Irish”. That’s the trouble with talking about ‘Jews’. They’re co-religionists, not an ethnic group or a nationality.
Herbie: you mean somewhat, in fact, really rather like the early treatment of the Catholics under Brit rule in N Ireland. I’m glad to hear you would have been loudly against it. I presume you’d also have found it pretty stupid to be ostracised and lumped in with government evil for simply being British in those circumstances – which, I believe, was actually Komodo’s point, and stated intention.
Lucky that Komodo enjoys ‘provoking debate’, isn’t it?
Karel: thanks! But what did I ‘make up to smear you’? I would say that your knowledge of history, and possibly humanity, could do with a brush up.
@Phil quoting my words: “You either know diddly-squat about Jewish racism, or you’ve chosen to deny its existence.”
I have not argued that there is no racism from jews. I challenged the view that all jews are to be held responsible for israeli military actions.
That was not the context in which I said what you quote.
“In the context of that argument,”
What argument? If we use the only reasonable definition of ‘Jew’, which is ‘a person who considers themselves to be Jewish’, then I totally agree with you that not all Jews are responsible for Zionist military actions. You seem to be setting up a straw man.
“that you claim to have repeatedly been called nasty names by jews, without challenging the racism, is telling.
You’re imagining stuff. I haven’t claimed to have repeatedly been called nasty names by Jews.
If you knew even the basics about Jewish racism in Britain, you’d know that ‘yok’ and ‘shiksa’ are mostly used when only only Jewish people are present.
Less so with ‘shanda fur die goyim’. Why? Because it might be necessary to tell someone there and then not to be such a ‘scandal’, so that he doesn’t become an even worse one. And even less so with ‘schmutzig’, which is used e.g. by frummers to their toddlers when the toddlers haven’t soaked up the racism enough and look to be in danger of making friends with someone who isn’t Jewish. (Try to say hello sometime to a frummer’s toddler.) And by the way, all frummers are racist.
Anyway, I am talking about the actual texture of Jewish racism, and some people seem to have a problem with that.
“I still doubt you have heard those words much. Certainly not outside of a political setting. Go on, admit it, you got them off the internet.”
No I bloody didn’t. Not a political setting, and not the internet. Are you trying to get personal information out of me? Maybe scroll up to my reference to people from Jewish backgrounds who have rejected the racist culture. Guess what – some of them have no problem with revealing stuff about Jewish racism to people who aren’t from Jewish backgrounds. That even happened before Israel Shahak and Gilad Atzmon did it. Many Jewish people, including many left-wing Jewish people, find that shocking. The offenders are viewed as race traitors. Vile, isn’t it?
And Karel: this sounds pretty hateful to me:
“the poor Jews have always wanted to toil the land or pick cotton in Virginia but the dreadful goyim forced them to land money for interest and to become slave traders.”
Think you should perhaps take your own prescription.
Advice to self (and anyone else who wants it): don’t get trolled!

My point is that if a country or body is doing something evil in one’s name then one really ought to speak out against it.
In Dreoilin’s example above, were I a Catholic and the Vatican was doing evil, I would speak out against it.
By the way, I condemn pretty much everything the Catholic church does and did, apart from the liberation clerics in South America.
I really do think it would assist enormously were Jews around the world to show more forcefully their disatisfaction with Israeli policy. Israel does claim to be their homeland. I know that recently Iranian Jews and Tunisian Jews have told Netanyahoo to get fucked when he offered them £10,000 to move to Israel. So if more of them were to distance themselves from Israel then that would be a help.
Just sayin like…
“Lucky that Komodo enjoys ‘provoking debate’, isn’t it?”
“Unfortunately I have to go out now. This is rushed and I’ll miss out on the rest of the fun.”
An FYI ….(non-specific, non-adhom by their definition)………..I think everyone understands the motivations of those, whose ‘good work’ seek recognition for same. We applaud all efforts to keep the dialogue free of unnecessary conflict.
That is all. Carry on.
The Jewish friend of mine who spent some time with “settlers” said that he had encountered such extreme racism before in the UK but it was relatively rare. Maybe from a “bad” uncle everyone ignores. Where he was working with “settlers” however he said everyone virtually without exception seemed to be insane and they firmly believed they had every right to subjugate anyone and everyone non-Jewish. They tended to assume he shared their views so he kept his mouth shut.
That’s why he shocked me by saying “Nuke the place now” as the first words to me on his return to the UK.

“Herbie: you mean somewhat, in fact, really rather like the early treatment of the Catholics under Brit rule in N Ireland. I’m glad to hear you would have been loudly against it.”
You’ve cheered me up no end, and I do hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for Palestinians too.
“Anyway, I am talking about the actual texture of Jewish racism, and some people seem to have a problem with that.”
Sorry, the fact that Hebrew has a word for ‘whore’ is somehow relevant? The fact that people who speak Hebrew use it amongst themselves is somehow devilishly significant? I have looked up ‘frummer’ and see it refers to Orthodox Jewish people and means ‘pious’ or ‘observant’ – I guess my Orthodox mate at college must have forgotten all the evil implications, as he was grand fun (except he couldn’t turn the lights on on a Friday). Ditto the Orthodox wives and children I used to meet daily in London.
You are talking in tongues. Do you want to tell the board that you have suffered from *horrible* Jewish parents? In that case, how sad for you. Your posts don’t prove anything else; any more than it would if I posted English insults, culled from the pages of the far-right, and tried to pretend they were somehow salient examples of the way British people generally speak, or think. They are not. Any more than the Blair government was representative of the people when it attacked Afghanistan and Iraq.
Anon: hmm, I guess the ‘settlers’ would be the extremists, though. Can see it would be shocking, to come across such a concentration. Have happy reports of kibbutzes all over, however.
No, it was not Technicolour, Komodo’s point was closer to Herbie’s analysis and the fact that he’s gone for a ride clearly involves some emphatic neural signals.
Why are you are on edge, constantly looking for the anti semite, sharing your innuendo aimed at us all, because you dare not be specific, yawn. And at a time when other issues are so much more important than your base camp dispute. This is a method of disrupting flow alright, spending thoughts on who these dastardly right wing racist nuts are amongst us, call it your EDL/BNP radar, well timed.
Or is it some sort of regular natural thing, like the time of the month or menopause? mid-life crisis? teenager troubles? you can tell us, we have come to know you and at most times, you are different, much different. Spit it out and be done with.
Tech,
Yes I think he deliberately chose to be among “extremists” but he expected not to find them as bad as they were often claimed to be and was genuinely shocked and horrified at what he found.
Wow, Nevermind, who I have never met, you actually managed to make my jaw drop with that post. Presumably you will be suggesting Phil has the menopause too, bless you. And what’s up with Dreolin, eh? Fibroids?
Komodo instigated and actually asked for this dialogue. If you look back at the posts, including his original post, which he in no way suggested I had misunderstood – but thank you for trying – it was perfectly amicable.
Otherwise, you miss the point, and continue to ensure that it is missed. It is absolutely relevant if this board becomes an excuse to attack Jewish people in general, rather than a way to expose the actions of yet another barbaric government. One way lies horror: the other, light and resolution.
Herbie, thanks: I do so hope so too.
Like these settlers?
