is that part accurate? |
As someone who eats popcorn and drives an automobile on a daily basis, I'd have to say, yes, it's extremely accurate. |

You’re looking at this from the wrong perspective. He was doing this on his own behalf / not the governments. |

How can you determine what my perspective is based on a few links? I fully understand what happened. I was just making the point that people have most definitely used the cover of the military to make illicit profits, whether it be a Colonel dealing in heroin during Vietnam or a lowly grunt getting away with what he feels is a killing in ecstacy profits during our involvement in Iraq. I'm sure it happens more often than you would think.
Corruption is everywhere, so why would it be any different in the military? Heck, the Columbian Cartel's used to pay the Mexican military to unload their 727's full of coke. :eyes:
| quote: | Although perceived to be less corrupt than the civilian law enforcement, the Mexican army has repeatedly been accused of drug trafficking allegations, murders and abductions. In one instance in 1991, two army generals and three other officers were implicated in the murder of seven civilian anti-drug agents in Veracruz after the agents discovered the soldiers unloading a plane load of cocaine.

Reading about some of these characters makes me feel like I'm reading something out of a fiction novel, but I know I'm not. Crazy , I tell you!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Juan Ramon Matta-Ballesteros - Honduran cartel level trafficker connected to the Contras. Moved four tons of cocaine per month into the U.S. through CIA connected firms like Setco, which he owned. Imprisoned in 1989 as CIA shifted allegiances from the Medellin to the Cali cartel. Now in prison in Colorado.
Col. Douglas Menarchik - National Security aide to George Bush whose private phone number turned up in the possession of a Contra gun runner connected to drugs.
Norwin Meneses - Supplier of Danillo Blandon. Long time CIA asset. Major Nicaraguan political heavyweight who always escaped US prosecution and arrest. Now serving time in a resort country club prison in Central America where he still exerts great influence.
Rep. Bill McCollum (FL) - Longtime CIA friend associated with Bill Casey. Connected to the recruitment of Gene Wheaton to set up dummy airlines for gun/drug smuggling. Also connected to the Knights of Malta, a secret order used to launder money during the era. McCollum's aide Vaughn Forrest was with John Hull in Costa Rica the day of the La Penca bombing.
Robert "Bud" McFarlane - National Security Adviser to President Reagan. Oliver North's boss. Indicted over Iran-Contra issues not related to drugs.
Ralph McGehee - Retired CIA case officer, outspoken CIA critic and publisher of CIA-Base. Created a publicly available database of CIA dirty tricks including drug running.
Ed Meese - Reagan's second Attorney general who handled the Iran-Contra affair. Covered up evidence of CIA drug trafficking and other crimes.
Jorge Morales - Convicted Colombian drug smuggler, Florida playboy connected to Geo. Bush who testified to shipping guns to Contras in exchange for drugs and protection from American law enforcement investigations.
Frank Moss - American pilot. Partner with Matta in Setco
Mario Murga - DEA and CIA informant for Celerino Castillo. Identified aircraft with black crosses on their tails as being CIA drug and weapons flights.
Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega - Long time CIA asset and colleague of George Bush before his ouster in Operation Just Cause in 1989. Former dictator of Panama, the money laundering capital for the drug trade and prime transshipment point for a variety of CIA cargoes. Allied with the Medellin cartel. Now serving a prison sentence.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Tell me that these people didn't line their pockets with their trading of guns for cocaine. Do you really think it was our government that profited? If so, how?
That was one seriously concerted effort to make an enormous sum of money. Definitely more than the measly $10M that the Contras received! |

I have many international friends and they dont have to deal with anywhere near as much as this country puts us through yet this country wants to portray such an immcualte image of themselves. all bs
Dont get me wrong I love living in NY but eventually if living here is at the cost of compromising my privacy, freedom and and other rights I have as a person IM OUT. I am a european citizen anyway
