Geopolitics of Drugs: CIA's Air America Still Flying With Tons Of Cocaine Aboard

Before President Bush proposed giving the Mexican government more than a billion dollars in aid to fight the war on drugs last week…We noticed a strange phenomenon.

Either it’s a series of coincidences,
Or it’s evidence of serious corruption…

They have a word for it in Spanish:

MARIO MENENDEZ RODRIGUEZ “Narcoavion, that’s how we say it”

Drug Planes.

And if you try to figure what happened to one of these planes, you’ll discover just how little you’re allowed to know

SECRETARY: “I’m not allowed to answer any questions regarding the aircraft”

...about the world of private jets and drugs.
So let’s start out with what we are allowed to know.
On a late Sunday Night last month, an American Gulfstream two private jet, crash-landed into the jungles of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.

It managed to avoid catching fire, skidding across the jungle floor, and splitting into three pieces. Mexican TV showed images of the plane and its cargo… dozens of “military style” duffel bags containing several metric tons of cocaine. <1>

The reason this made the news is the history of the plane, tail number N987SA…Starting in 2003, the plane made several trips from Washington and Connecticut to Guantanamo Bay. This led to questions of its use by military or intelligence agencies. Since... how many people really fly from Connecticut to Guantanamo?

1. Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Not with alleged connections of the flow of heroin between countries like Afghanistan, Turkey, Europe, and how much of the profits are turned around back into supposed terrorist groups. The real kicker is that the Turkish involvement is alleged to be through their military. Sure gets a person to thinking... Especially when the US government seems to purposely ignore the Turkish connections in its assessments of the heroin trade.

2. Check the 9/11 forum...there are a few threads on this topic.
And www.madcowprod.com has done a lot of investigative work on this story.

4. I highly recommend . Flight records have been privatized to Lockheed-Martin.
Edited on Wed Oct-31-07 04:48 PM by higher class
For me that is as good as being criminal.

Why would a corportion help this regime to do something criminal to our structure.

Spit on Lockheed Martin and the people who arranged the privatization.

We are going down unless we stop shopping, watching sports and serial tv crap.

Too many people are riding the empty gravy train and don't know that there are NO brakes unless they find them.

I believe every innuendo in this article. We have nothing good or better comeing from this regime to make us have doubts about drug running.

Have to pay for the mercenaries.
