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.
Hi, Mary.
Did you read mine at 05:18?
I’m just saying maybe the CPS were right after all ..
Stephen Messham has had long links with the media, dating back to 1999.
Plenty of time for the media to have checked and re-checked his claims, and for he himself to have checked his facts.
Surprising Newsnight saw fit to run them as reliable in its most recent offering. Or were they being overly clever in trying to discredit the abuse stories??
What do you think?
NR, thanks. Them lot ‘as broke it! I’ll get a quick fix in place, and try to fix properly during the week.Fixed! Easier than I thought.
Mary, so Cameron likes Shelley. He should be reading a modern version of the ‘Mask of Anarchy’
I met Murder on the way
She wore a mask – Theracist May,
watch the woman wield an axe,
her prisons run by Supermax,
and one by one, and two by two
she threw them Muslim hearts to chew.
Yesterday I met the brother of Talha Ahsan, a mild man called Hamja. Their mother is beside herself with grief at her son’s extradition to a Supermax prison where he is held in solitary confinement for 23 hours. Watch this video please.

No it’s not a play on semantics. The USA used drug traffickers to smuggle about $800k worth mostly humanitarian goods into Nicaragua according to senate investigation. This is something quite different from CIA smuggling hundreds of kilograms of drugs with Chilean secret service. I note the article you linked is again based on some supposed testimonies which come back decades later to say “Oh yeah and CIA smuggled drugs with me all along, I just remembered now. I don’t have any proof but definitely CIA drug smuggling, damnit!” So tiresome. None of the extensive congressional or internal investigations have ever confirmed such a thing.
PS: It is interesting the person on whom the story stands and alleged whistleblower said nothing when he was arrested for drug trafficking, instead keeping the story to himself until approached some decades later by a British journalist. It’s a make-believe.
Entwistle’s resignation is firmly putting the focus away from the arrest that could be made to more timidity and slow go. To question Tow Watson’s zeal and shutting up the comments from welsh police due to the re-opening of the Wales inquiry, for fear of not ‘compromising’ the case, has further spread the all covering duvet over this sad story of the British establishment and Freemasonry criminal excesses.
This is not just an opportunity to break and re shape the BBC, change it, away from a security service induced news management to a more open, viewer and listener directed service.
As this massive scandal was known of by the security services and used for their own manipulative ways, however they saw fit, regardless of what dependencies are created by such ‘handling’, the inquiry when faced with these machinations to keep the status quo and cover up the crimes of important people, these publicly paid services should also be investigated as to their use of peoples sexual proclivities, foibles and crimes to suit their ends and not that of the public.
investigate them and arrest them, put them in front of judges and ensure that freemason’s declare their membership and split loyalties/are barred from sitting and judging.
Is paedophilia worse than murder? victims carrying the abuse with them all their life’s, not being able to speak out on these dastardly crimes, for fear of being shunned, prosecuted or killed.

Again, neither of what you listed accuses CIA of smuggling drugs or CIA facilitating such efforts. It’s really stretching it a bit far to say: “Well this sites claims there was no drug trafficking, but apparently they read one book which claims there was. So case closed, CIA drug smugglers!” This is really incredibly tiresome and in my mind confirms that Craig Murray and the commenters are so hinged on this that they’re willing to overlook a lot of the inconvenient and ill-fitting factors, just to keep their narrative together, because we all KNOW that somehow CIA was doing drug smuggling.

10 Nov, 2012 – 3:50 pm
And this is what I’m talking about: the article simply makes a lot of controversial statements without further detail as facts. Interestingly not even this one says CIA was directly involved in any drug smuggling and/or facilitating it in any way.

This one is a bit substantial, listing actual newspapers and offers something to go by, however I’d have to read it for myself to make a definitive opinion. I wouldn’t trust anyone to pre-chew for me something that I can read for myself. Thank you nevertheless. It is worth noting that the allegations made by the newspaper were investigated by CIA inspector general, an independent institution nominated by president but confirmed by senate, who found no evidence of wrongdoing. This might not sound terribly convincing, but I have to wonder why it is that all the meaty details of this alleged crime and horror story has never found its way to the hearings or courts the same way the rest of Iran-Contra story has. In my mind, this is what makes the whole affair more likely to be a fabrication.

No I am not there, actually I am a bot that’s only answering raised objections in a pre-designed way. We at CIA thought it would be more convenient than going through all this manually.
John Goss I should think that Cameron has never read a word of Shelley’s. It was Felicity Arbuthnot who said he should read it out.

School children in Britain, here in the U.S. and throughout the English-speaking world are given poems of Shelley’s like “Ode to the West Wind” (without having its true purport explained) or “Adonais” to read while passing over completely his major works like “Queen Mab,” “The Cenci,” “The Revolt of Islam,” “Hellas” and “Prometheus Unbound” as unfit for, politically speaking, virginibus puerisque.

Cameron is stepping out to the Cenotaph in his finest Elglish wool coat on this beautiful morning in this still beautiful world in the company of the other politician war criminals to honour the dead. Many of those lives lost due to his and his cohort’s activities of course. What shameful hypocrites.
Lord Guthrie GCB, LVO, OBE, DL and ex Chief of Defence Staff has just laid a wreath on behalf of one of the Royal princes. Is there a word that is stronger than hypocrite?
See
General Lord Guthrie before Lord Boyce, filled the chamber with his honeyed voice. This soldier had a similar view to the sailor. Now, the register shows him to be a part of Colt Defense LLC. Assault rifles is its stock in trade and security services another string to a deadly bow. Few “defence” companies can neglect an “industry” which is third only to oil and killing in Iraq, and which is yet another facet of the supreme international war crime from which all other crimes flow. Hansard – no pecuniary interest in this debate was declared by him.
When Lord Guthrie was speaking at a conference in Herzliya, Israel, in January 2006 and 2007, it would of course have been unnecessary to speak of his commercial interest in small guns. His subject in 2007 was “Upgrading Israel’s strategic partnerships with the Atlantic community: the US, NATO and the EU”. There was a good sprinkling of Israeli warriors there like Netanyahu and Perle. Being subject to the Official Secrets Act and to military honour, he would have confined himself in speech and debate. After all, as an ex-chief of defence staff he must know the whole shebang.

O/T, except insofar as it concerns corruption in high places. From the Firm (law) magazine:
“If Scotland retained an independent Lord Advocate and a mature justice system, rather than the current degraded, paranoid runt of the once proud system, indictments would be issued at once by Frank Mulholland against former Lords Advocate Fraser, Boyd and Angiolini. Mulholland himself would step aside and submit to his successor for criminal scrutiny. The fact that the case of HMA v HMA is unlikely to appearing on the rolls of court anytime soon demonstrates the scale of the problem our system now faces in respect of this case. Her Majesty’s Advocate requires to investigate itself, but will not. Does the ICC now beckon? We are through the looking glass now.”
I think a long fuse has started burning.
Will the BBC investigating committee waterboard (or equivalent) lezi Helen Boaden to reveal who got her to raise the libel bar , scuttling the initial Newsnight episode last year ? Should save a lot of cover up time & money. And whilst they are at it, the truth about the premature WTC7 broadcast made under her watch on 911 (her handlers forgot the one hour DST differential?). Methinks not, the Beeb is a fortress of seasoned spinmasters, all working in cahoots to further their respective agendas.
“Any inside info re Petraeus? Methinks its even bigger than the Minot saga as it comes after the recent defrocking of the 5th Fleet Commander”
I wonder if the two are connected ?.

I love the BBC’s lack of ads. I love its often excellent drama and documentaries. I love the decent people who work in it. I have quite a lot of respect for the person who wrote ‘Friends in High Places’:
“an excellent, well-researched and enjoyably written study of the ruling elite on Britain in the 1990s. Drawing on his own experience as a journalist and broadcaster for the BBC (itself, he argues, a pillar of the old boy network) Mr Paxman draws our attention to the fact that in the supposedly meritocratic Britain of Major and Blair the ‘Establishment’ is alive and well and as powerful as ever”
“Very rare of its type: one of the secrets of the system is that if you’re on the inside you’re expected to know how it works. If you’re on the outside, you won’t know (and vice versa). As such, much credit to Paxman for lifting the lid. And the fact that it’s still in print after so long is a testament to its worth.”
Just thought I’d say that.
I rather liked Paxman’s statement re. Entwistle………….and we all know, or at least have a list in mind, to whom he (Paxo) refers when he mentions the phrase “time servers”………well done him……..
I agree with some of what you say Technicolour. However there is more to the BBC than the quality of its programming which should damn well be good and the lack of ads.* Don’t forget the massive income it receives from the licence fee payers.
Spot Lord Patten on this list of the Ditchley Foundation and see the company he keeps. The lists for the council and the governors are similarly enlightening.
http://www.ditchley.co.uk/the-foundations/the-ditchley-foundation/honorary-governors.
The most ominous is that of Lord George Robertson ex NATO secretary general and chairman of the council.
You can ask yourself what is the purpose of this grouping? Not just some sort of cosy country club I am sure.
You will see a few BBC names on those lists as you will on this Wikipedia page for the British American Project, including Paxman’s. Again what is it for?
{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British-American_Project}
* Ads come on the world service output apparently.
I don’t know, Mary, what is the British American Project for?
I’m sick but unshocked at the list of governors. They are appointed by the government.
Ads never used to come on the World Service – another often invaluable resource which has been cut to the bone. I would have thought that dismantling a public broadcaster would have been beyond the right’s wildest dreams, but after the NHS -.
And, sorry, I know there’s a lot wrong with it – deliberate politicisation stated under Thatcher, apparently & unsurprisingly. I wouldn’t look to it for news.
“Patten said Entwistle had been “at the least implicated” by Newsnight’s decision not to broadcast its Jimmy Savile investigation in late 2011 because he had been the BBC’s director of vision when the report was shelved.”
Could Newsnight have stopped Savile even though he was dead?
NEWSNIGHT’S Jimmy Savile investigation could have stopped the paedophile from abusing more victims even though he had been dead for two months, it has been confirmed.
Still at it
Insiders claim that if the BBC had broadcast the report Savile could have been dug up, arrested and charged.
A source said: “He would have been caught like a deer in the headlights. Or perhaps a stuffed deer that had been placed in the middle of the road.
“Instead the BBC decided to let a dead pervert go free. Even now he is trawling for fresh victims while decomposing in his wooden box.

Technicolour.
Which right do you refer to.
Why would the left want to keep the BBC, are yes for an arm of propaganda.
Why would the right want to lose the BBC, for a arm of propaganda lost..Why bother when you can buy the media.
Why then will they not let the internet keep all its freedoms.
Why not consider then, that anything and everything is the problem.
Virtues my dear, that`s the loss.
Er, Jay, yes, I think! Not happy about the term ‘right’ either ~
Mr. Murray, are you confusing Petraeus with Hillary Clinton? To say that Hillary is the one in charge of any intelligence operation is like saying that you were in charge of an intelligence operation when you served as ambassador. Clearly, the State Department is apprised of intelligence operations to make sure the department is not caught flat footed, as it was in Benghazi, Libya. It’s clear that Petraeus was using a complex that had was not a consulate, but a cover for intelligence operation. There was no consul or a U.S. flag flying at the Benghazi “consulate”, which is why the government calles it a “mission”. You lose credibility by attacking the wrong person, which is clearly your intent here. You don’t like Hillary. That’s clear. I also don’t doubt that there’s an intelligence operation to destabilize the Correa government, or the Chavez government for that matter. But we all know, at least those who are informed, that U.S. foreign policy doesn’t change from one president to another. The U.S. has always meddled in Latin America to protect its interests, one of of those interests is to ensure friendly governments towards the U.S. That Correa has given asylum to Assange and the Correa government “enemy of the state”.
It would be gracious of you to correct your assertion that Hillary is in charge of intelligence operations. She’s not. She doesn’t have the resources which rightly belong with agencies like the CIA.
Correction: That Correa has given asylum to Assange, makes the Correa government “enemy of the state”.
Michal; What would satisfy you? Shall I post excerpts from the linked items?
“On April 17, 1986, the Reagan Administration released a three page report acknowledging that there were some Contra-cocaine connections in 1984 and 1985, arguing that these connections occurred at a time when the rebels were “particularly hard pressed for financial support” because U.S. aid had been cut off. The report admitted that “We have evidence of a limited number of incidents in which known drug traffickers have tried to establish connections with Nicaraguan resistance groups.” The report tried to downplay the drug activity, claiming that it took place “without the authorization of resistance leaders.”[8]

Really? You don’t seem to comprehend, especially with spookdom, the truth is well hidden, but can be extrapolated from those nuggets which break the surface.
“I make no apology for telling you my heart went out to Mr Messham when I read the Mail on Sunday piece attacking him. It seemed to me he was being abused all over again.
“The article in the Mail on Sunday is clearly an attempt on the part of sections of the British establishment to strike back at allegations which potentially could bring down some of its most powerful members, and Mr Messham is probably just collateral damage in their eyes.
“But what’s most interesting for me about the disgusting article is its author – a man called David Rose.
Who is he?”

I thought ‘David Rose’ was a pseudonym used by Johann Hari when editing Wikipedia articles in his own favour?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Hari#Wikipedia_editing
But maybe there is more than one David Rose, or more than one person using the handle.
It is just so unutterably wonderful that what sunk horny 4-star weasel dwarf Petraeus was an awesome salacious catfight with eeks and shrieks and hair whipping around. Not as much fun as a war crimes trial, but close.
