John David Pigg out of Oklahoma City. Pigg was killed in July 1993 in Anadarko, Oklahoma, reportedly for expressing disenchantment with the operation.

I told him that I would list their names in the next edition of Defrauding America, and he warned me about the viciousness of the Mossad and their killing of people in various countries whose statements or conduct displeased them. “I have no use for the Mossad and the harm they’ve inflicted upon the United States, and I’ll take my chances,” was my reply. Implications of the Mossad‘s Involvement The repeated discovery that the intelligence agency of a foreign country, Israel, was heavily involved in several of the drug operations conducted against the American people by America’s intelligence agencies was disturbing. Throughout my discoveries I learned of the involvement of Mossad agents in the smuggling of drugs into the United States and other crimes, including the October Surprise scheme, the theft of the Inslaw software, and the looting of Chapter 11 assets.

I asked Loeb if the airlines that took over the Central and South America air traffic after Eastern Airlines went out of business became involved in the drug trafficking. He stated that American Airlines encountered similar problems. He also described how Braniff Airlines was heavily used by drug traffickers before that airline went out of business.

He described the drug traffickers’ use of Eastern and Braniff Airlines for shipment of drug-money from the United States to Central and South America.

Rodriguez testified that the CIA was involved in the weapon shipments and drug-money laundering with his various companies. Senator John F. Kerry (D. Mass.) made reference to the repeated denials by White House and National Security Council officials about U.S. arms shipments to Iran and the Contras, while the arms shipments were continuing to occur. During testimony by various witnesses, whenever a witness was about to name a U.S. politician or the CIA involvement in the drug trafficking, Kerry interrupted the witness and said this would be discussed in executive or closed-door session. The American public never heard of the criminal activities by high-level government officials and various government agencies.

Carlton corroborated that drug trafficking aircraft used the ranch that John Hull ran in Costa Rica. Hull was a close associate to Dan Quayle and George Bush.

Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) ADFA was promoted by Governor Bill Clinton as providing low-interest loans for schools, churches, and other noble purposes, and passed by the Arkansas legislature in 1985. Clinton had control of who received loans from ADFA. The first five loans went to Clinton’s friends and associates, including Park On Meter (POM), a company partly owned by Webster Hubbell, a Rose Law Firm partner and later de facto head of the U.S. Department of Justice. That $2.85 million loan was never repaid, and the records of loans and payment schedule were kept from the public. There was no noticeable improvement in the POM plant to show where the money was used that was to fund that purpose. POM was involved in secretly manufacturing weapon parts for the CIA’s unlawful arms shipments to Central America.

Much of the world’s coca, from which cocaine is obtained, is grown in Bolivia, Peru, and Venezuela, and constitute a major part of their income. This fact is no secret to the CIA, and the CIA relies upon this source for much of its cocaine smuggling into the United States.

Until We Have Answers,

CIA operative Gunther Russbacher mentioned the frequent visits of Senator Dan Quayle to the CIA’s arms and drug transshipment point known as John Hull’s Ranch[348] in Costa Rica. He stated that Quayle was deeply involved with the Contra operation and drugs, as well as being closely associated with noted drug trafficker Felix Rodriguez. Russbacher said, “Quayle was one of our bag boys.”

British Investigation An investigation into drug trafficking was conducted by a British law commission headed by Lord Louis Blom-Cooper, which then conducted a year of hearings. The London Times referred to the commission’s report as “a scorcher,” which found: The use of Antigua by the Mossad for drug trafficking and for training and arming the private armies of Colombia’s drug barons. Lying by CIA officials to the White House, claiming that the Israeli operations in Antigua were to train rebel forces to oust Panama‘s Manuel Noriega. Mossad‘s training of hundreds of Colombians into killers for assassination purposes. A longstanding practice by U.S. authorities to cover for the crimes of the Mossad group, which supported my findings and as described by my CIA and DEA sources. Exposed the role played by Israeli Major General Pinchas Shachar in the arms and drug operations. Shachar was the official representative for Israel Military Industries in the United States, with special access to the Pentagon and other guarded U.S. military installations. According to reports, CIA Director William Sessions wanted the British report entered into Shachar’s file and to suspend his special privileges. Attorney General William Barr rejected the recommendation, keeping the American public in the dark about this part of the epidemic drug trafficking. The article described how the Bush White House sought to ignore the report, just as the many other reports have been hidden from the American p...

Stings That Never Happened Plumlee said, “We were documenting the loads and the routes and waiting for the big busts. But the busts never seemed to add up to the amount of cocaine we were bringing in.” He said that many of the men in the black crews with whom he worked felt extremely uneasy about the illegality of the drug shipments. They occasionally talked of exposing the drug trafficking as a group, and complained to their DEA and CIA contacts. They were told, “You’ve got to keep the big picture in mind, or you might blow a major sting operation.” The pilots were given the line by their handlers that the drugs were for undercover operations to catch drug traffickers. Plumlee said that the DEA, CIA and FBI were spying on each other’s covert deals, and occasionally busted each other’s operatives. He described landing a DC-3 loaded with over 1200 pounds of cocaine in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he was to meet an FBI contact, who failed to meet him. Plumlee then called the FBI, trying to contact the agent. Plumlee said, “The FBI thought I was some kind of nut.” That trip had started from an airfield called “The Farm,” near McAllen, Texas. His instructions were to deliver the arms to the Contras, and then return with a load of drugs.

Antlers, Oklahoma.

In the early 1970s Plumlee was attached to an operation in Miami, Florida called Jay Emway,

JM/Wave

These aliases included Buck Pierson, James Plumlee, James H. Rawlings, William H. Pierson, Juan Carbello, James H. Rawlings, and some that he couldn’t remember.

Plumlee described how one of the Contra commanders on the Southern Front, Eden Pastora, also known as Commander Zero, refused to engage in drug trafficking as the other Contras did. The CIA then tried to assassinate Pastora during a media conference held at La Penca, Costa Rica, during which Pastora was expected to expose the CIA-DEA drug trafficking.

Plumlee met several times with Senator Gary Hart‘s aide, Bill Holden,

In a February 14, 1991, letter to Senator John Kerry, Senator Hart stated:

“Bush is very concerned about those missing monies. I think he’s going to have Jeb arrange something out of Colombia.”

The last casualty had a piece of wood sticking out of a bad wound to the upper left portion of his body. As the medic cleaned the area he found a softball-size hole adjacent to the impaled object. As the medic sought to clean the area it caused a clear view of muscle hanging and the inside of the chest cavity. North saw it and fainted. Tatum caught him and popped an ammonia capsule under his nose to revive him. The flight then departed for San Lorenzo, Honduras, where the casualties were unloaded. Back at base, Palmerola, Tatum completed the Mission Brief Back report, writing in part: Arrived at SLN—Arrival at the helipad the emergency vehicles were not waiting. There was no answer on Medevac FQCY FM 45.10 or on ..... 49.10. Confusion on ground causing ground time delay of 15 min. Medics’ duties were compounded when Mr. North fainted.

This operation was secretly embedded in an Army medical unit (3/498th Medical Company from Fort Riley, Kansas). He said that CIA agent Henry Hyde was responsible for the finances of the unit, including arranging lines of credit.

Although Tatum was assigned to a military medical evacuation team, his CIA handlers often diverted his flight to drug-carrying activities, resulting in casualties not being evacuated for medical treatment.

Drugging of blacks was also described to me over a period of years by a former New York City vice-squad detective, Jim Rothstein. He was a detective on the New York City police force from 1965 to 1980. (Rothstein was the detective who arrested CIA agent Frank Sturgis when Sturgis arrived in New York to kill Marita Lorenz, the former girl friend of Fidel Castro and also CIA asset.) Rothstein described to me over several years how he discovered and reported the drug sales by the CIA to the blacks in New York City, via Virgil Trip Stone. Rothstein said that Al Carone, a member of one of the New York City crime families was a CIA asset and involved in the drug sales, reporting directly to CIA Director William Casey. Rothstein said that the direct sales between the CIA and key blacks in the New York City area continued from approximately 1967 to 1973, at which time the CIA sold drugs to organized crime figures who then took over the drug sales to the blacks. These statements coincided with the testimony that Richard Brenneke gave to Congress in 1989, testifying that he frequently dealt with the Gotti crime family, including John Gotti himself, when drugs were turned over in Arkansas. As stated earlier, Brenneke described the details of how he, acting in his CIA capacity, laundered drug money for the Gotti family through specific CIA bank connections.

“Contra war was not a real war at all. It was a charade, a smoke screen...to provide cover for a massive drug operation by criminal CIA agents and others.” Based upon what I have learned from my many deep-cover sources, I believe that to be absolutely true. And that would apply also to the Vietnam War.

In the 1970s, the FBI started receiving reports of criminal activities involving a group known as the “K-Team,”

Team,” operating out of Freeport, Long Island.

Taus’ team discovered in 1983 that K-Team members arranged for Iraq to obtain U.S.-backed loans for agricultural products and that the money was used to purchase war material. These loans and the purchase of war material continued until Iraq used the military weapons to invade Kuwait.

Renda had numerous foreign operations, some of which were shell companies to confuse investigators and for diverting funds. Taus explained that some of these were associated with Oliver North’s Enterprise operation in Central America.

Operation Amadeus. She said that during World War II, Operation Amadeus was involved in transporting Nazi officers from Germany into South American countries. According to her father’s notes, Operation Amadeus split into several other operations, including Operation Sunrise and Operation Watchtower.

Dee described how her father made frequent reference to a John Cathey and his contacts with Cathey involving drug trafficking activities in the Contra operation. Cathey was the name reportedly used by the NSC’s Oliver North.

Robert L. Freeman started describing the activities of his all-black assassination team that was trained by the U.S. military for an ultra-secret operation intended to destabilize Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Freeman was one of 45 blacks trained by the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and the Central Intelligence Agency for the sole purpose of killing anyone, including U.S. servicemen and advisors.

Freeman said that his group was identified by the CIA as an experimental assassination unit, and called the Secret Death Squad (SDS). The official CIA listing was MACSOGSDODV, or more fully, Military Assistance Command Strategic Operational Group Special Detachment, Department of Defense, Vietnam.

The CIA’s intent was to destabilize the area, as it has done throughout the world, especially Central and South America, Africa, and elsewhere. In this operation the CIA wanted to create horror in the region so as to justify U.S. intervention.
