Many of you may remember the 1980's as the decade of cocaine and the Contra scandal that went with it. That was the one in which the Republicans ( Ronald Reagan ) were letting the CIA import cocaine into the United States so that dear old Uncle Sam could supply weapons to our South American enemies, Noriega being our point man until he was no longer of useful to the U.S.
Well now, it seems that the Republican Drug Cartel is up to its old tricks once again, only this time it is that mean man Chavez down in Venezuela who is the Bush Crime Syndicate target. Gotta control South America because we need the oil, so let's dope up or citizens again in order to pay for the things we might need.
Read this following article in full and then start bitching to your Representatives. Pass this on while you are at it because everyone needs to be aware of this Bush activity.
Chimpy's new gambit is in Venezuela, here we go again!

You are in a park...a man approaches, you just know this is a dope sale pitch, but you arn't sure if it's a sting, so you engage this guy and he opens his pocket to show you pack after pack after pack of sniff and rock and he says, "I got crack, I got blow, I'll take you anywhere you want to go."
Sounds like the 1980's when the snowstorm of cocaine unleashed upon the nation funded the Contra armies and death squads in Central America. Oh yeah, just like Noriega in Panama, our point man in the coke trade who was so useful...until he wasn't.
Well guess what, the Chimpy Junta is up to mischief! Hey, everything old is new again I guess, because the dirty bastards are doing it again. This time the target is Venezuela. Let's jump.
You don't need to be either a social scientist or a New York City cop with 25 years on the beat to remember the horror that was unleashed in Harlem and Spanish Harlem when the coke epidemic exploded like a shrapnel shell in those neighborhoods.
You don't need to be a clinic worker to remember the human disaster of the coke blizzard. If you weren't in the outreach, or the prevention groups you have no idea how horrible it was. Cocaine and crack were everywhere, cheap and easy to find. In an out-of-the-way place like Syracuse, NY coke was so readily available that renowned local columnist, the late Bob Haggart often commented on the "Saturday night snowstorm."
Naturally, if the Bush administration gets its hands into mischief they invariably screw it up. Bill Conroy, from Al Giordano's Narco News Bulletin relays a story that should scare the bejebus out of all of us, but as you read this story you find yourself thanking your lucky stars that those don't give a damn about America neo-cons in Bush's regime tipped their hand and gave away the store.
Let's take a look at this. We know that Bush and the neo-cons have a hard on for Chavez. We know that this criminal administration has tried several ways to undermine and depose Chavez because of his more people oriented, socialistic policies. Oil is at the heart of the matter, but oil isn't the entire thing, it's the money that is going to just plain Venezuelans instead of the "patrones and their Gringo amigoes."
So, after trying to foment war by turning the right wing death squad guerrillas from Uribe's Colombia loose in an unofficial cross border war, and trying to undo Chavez in elections and dirty tricks, and now in desperation the neo-cons returned to doing this:
Two Florida-based companies that have exported a total of at least 11 aircraft to Venezuelan buyers since 2003 are linked to four cocaine planes and what appears to be an elaborate covert intelligence operation, an ongoing Narco News investigation shows.
The covert program, law enforcement sources contend, likely involves the CIA and components of Defense Department intelligence agencies, and is focused, in part, on penetrating, or even propping up, narco-trafficking groups in Venezuela. That country’s outspoken leader, Hugo Chávez, is regularly demonized by U.S. policymakers for, among other things, supposedly allowing his country to become a haven for narco-traffickers
The US has already been victimized once by Republicans trying to be dope peddlers in the name of democracy! The last exercise in Republican "caring for America" cost thousands of US citizens their lives, packed our prisons, wasted our treasure and left a broad swath of destruction that still impacts the nation to this day and these filthy Republicans and their most accomodating pals in Congress, the Pentagon and the CIA want to do it again.
Yeah! Vote for McCain. Have a cocaine explosion in America again because we need to export democracy you know, and if your son or daughter is ruined or dies from the "liberty for Venezuela" cocaine, well they weren't very bright anyway were they? I want to know McCain's stand on this "cocaine to undo Chavez scam?" This is a Republican administration sponsered scam Senator, do you disavow it?
Dear God in heaven where do people like those in this wretched administration who would try to do this horror again come from! In my life I have seen war whooping Republican good-for-nothing ideologues restart the Vietnam war in a different place and put our nation into an unwinnable quagmire which is destroying us as well as the Iraqis. Now we have to go through the 'drugs-for money-for guns" disaster again too?
This is a huge article, with photos and links of its own. Due to the sheer mass of the article I will post about 8 more paragraphs and do so free use only.
Whos involved:
The companies at the center of this parade of cocaine planes are Skyway Aircraft Inc. of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Planes and Parts Enterprises LLC of Doral, Fla.
In addition, a third Florida company, also named Skyway Aircraft Inc., but based in Clearwater, Fla. (just north of St Petersburg in the greater Tampa area), is linked to a fifth cocaine plane, a DC-9 jet (tail number N900SA), which was apprehended by Mexican authorities in April 2006 with some 5.5 tons of white powder onboard. The DC-9 had been sold to an unknown Venezuelan buyer only days before it was busted in Mexico.
Two of these cocaine planes – the Gulfstream II and a Beech 200 (N391SA) found in Nicaragua with the false tail number N168D – have been tied to the CIA’s terrorist rendition program via their Federal Aviation Administration-issued tail numbers, according to European investigators.
In addition, the two Skyway companies are associated with individuals who have done highly sensitive work for the Department of Defense or U.S. intelligence agencies, public records show and Narco News sources confirm. The third company, Planes and Parts, it turns out, appears to be little more than a paper shell company that can be traced back to a Mail Boxes Etc. service located at a UPS store in the Miami area.
The article continues on about the planes and the owners but this little blurb early on caught my eye:
Attorney Mark Conrad, a former high-level supervisory U.S. Customs agent who has an extensive background in the intelligence world, offered the following insight into the cocaine planes saga in a prior interview with Narco News:
Even though it looks as if you are unraveling odd connections you may be only seeing a small part of what is going on — or you may be seeing what you are expected to see, missing something else.
My guess — and that is all that it is — is that this has something to do with operations in Venezuela — either to finance ops, or to divert attention from Agency ops in Venezuela to destabilize Chávez. ... It is not in the U.S. interests for Chávez to create another Cuba on some of the largest oil field reserves in the world.
If that’s the case, then it might well be that the current U.S. administration has placed a higher value on controlling the flow of oil from Venezuela than it has on controlling the flow of cocaine into this country.
This is all I dare use free use and remind everyone that this is Bill Conroy's article appearing on Narco News Bulletin Please read it all! It will leave you nauseous
My friends, this is a reason not to vote for Republicans. Any administration that would poison and addict its own people in order to enhance the profits of energy companies is an administration that should be jailed and executed. This, this very rebirth of the Iran-Contra fiasco at its worst is the true face of Ronald Reagan and those who would trumpet his administration, and this is more than America should have to bear. Naturally, we cannot depend upon our "in the tank with the Bushies" media to ask any questions or raise any hell about this business which has alarmed Latin America, brought the FBI into play, and has raised the eyebrows of our allies.
We need to spread this news far and wide, and I would very strongly suggest that Obama should begin asking very pointed and very public questions about these shenanigans; after all it's only the American public being poisoned, addicted, jailed, and ruined in the name of oil, err, I mean "liberty for Venezuela."
Please raise hell about this! It's only your kids, your loved ones, or your friends that might get caught up in this filthy Bushist scam!
