Their 'eye witnesses' were Nazi loving CIA asset Lehder and CIA asset Barry Seal. This led to the following: 2) "The enlarged U.S. presence in Columbia... produced not order but a major escalation of Medellin cartel violence.

You remember Werbell, outside of Ft Bennings...weapons arms dealer? 2) "In 1973 WerBell was busy with other projects as well. Early that year he was approached by Marti Figueres, the son of outgoing Costa Rican president Pepe Figueres, who wanted to buy WerBell's entire stock of 2,000 silenced Ingrams.

1) You learn something new everyday. Remember reading about Standard Oil break up into all the smaller 2) oil companies but were really, secretively all still Standard Oil?

That's an interesting question. Let's dive in...you have to go back to Southern Air's roots which was originally Southern Air Transport (SAT). SAT was set up in 1947 as the CIA was setting up Chiang in Taiwan to take over the opium/heroin trade. 2) SAT initially operated as a Miami-based charter airline that flew cargo to the Bahamas (this was for money laundering/drugs). By 1960, it was a three-aircraft affair that was suffering from significant debts on the books but it generated billions in black market drug sales.

CIA’s John Brennan is/was CEO of The Analysis Corporation (TAC). It is owned by Global Strategy Group (North America) which is the operating company of GTEC. 2)
It was set up in 1990 which means it was set up during Bush Sr admin and worked on “counterterrorism” or as we would call it #OperationGladio since the CIA is always behind terrorism and we know the Brennan wasn’t fighting against the CIA.

1) Michael Hudson wrote about the economics of running forever deficits and describes it in interesting terms. We've been taught that it was Richard Nixon that removed us from the gold standard August 1971 correct? 2) Well, let's just see how that history lesson stands up to the events at the time.

1) I came across William Pawley in the Nelson Rockefeller book "They Will Be Done". No, I didn't have a shocked look on my face either. But I do feel the need to jump ahead a little. Once I came across his name, I went to the index to see if there were more mentions. 2) Of course there were...and remember how I said recently that something much bigger was happening when they took Nixon off the field? Well you are going to find the following very interesting timing wise. Nelson Rockefeller was sworn in on Dec 22, 1974.

He created a very hostile environment for unions that were attempting to achieve workers rights in South America like their North Americans counterparts.
